a certain scientific harry potter

"Harry, I think you can stop here." Dumbledore put his hand lightly on Harry's shoulder, "We have no right to use Veritaserum on Ministry of Magic officials."

"But they also have no right to deliberately conceal the truth after dereliction of duty!" Harry was only one step away from achieving his goal, and Harry refused to stop there. "Mr. Principal, I want to remind you... Maybe you want to protect some Human face, but it is us Hogwarts who are being questioned now!"

"I also feel that this matter cannot be ended in an unclear way," Madame Maxime interjected at this time, "In any case, we must know the truth of the matter."

"Agreed." Karkaroff also changed from the smooth before to a tough expression, "Ludo Bagman, you'd better explain clearly what happened before the Goblet of Fire was sent ?”

"This..." Ludo Bagman was completely at a loss now, but Rufus Fudge couldn't speak now, and he couldn't think of a reason to argue for a while.

"Hurry up and say!!"

"Okay, okay..." After Harry roared, his psychological defense was finally breached.

"Me, me and Rufus... made a bet with someone before coming to Hogwarts..."

Chapter 630 Malfeasance and accepting bribes, follow-up explanation

Things were basically as Harry had expected. If it was true, it would definitely not be fake, and the blame from the British Ministry of Magic would definitely not escape.

In Ludo Bagman's stumbling narration, everyone was sure that it was their negligence that gave others the opportunity to put Hermione's name into the Goblet of Fire in advance.

Although the Triwizard Tournament seems to be just a magical exchange between the three European schools, the meaning it represents is not simple, and the relationship behind it is also very complicated. It can basically be called the wizard version of the Chunin exam.

As the direct organizers, Rufus Fudge and Ludo Bagman have dealt with all kinds of wizards in the past period of time, domestic, foreign, responsible for various projects, and providing sponsors Yes, it can be said that everyone has it.

More than a month ago, a wizard connected with them through the relationship of the pure-blood family, expressing that he had always had a strong interest in the Triwizard Cup and the Goblet of Fire.

He even spent a lot of money to sponsor most of the consumables for this competition. The only condition is that he wants to take a look at the appearance of the Three Strong Cup in advance, so as to make up for the regrets of his student days.

For this person's mood, Ludo claims that he can completely understand it. After all, the Triwizard Contest has been suspended for more than two centuries. Even he himself sometimes feels that life is not at the right time.

And the other party was also trustworthy enough, really just took the Tri-Power Cup away to enjoy alone, and when they returned later, the two of them didn't find anything unusual.

But after they satisfied that person's desire to watch, the other party further proposed that they want to take another look at the Goblet of Fire.

This somewhat made the two of them a little bit troubled. After all, the Goblet of Fire was different from the Triwizard Cup. It must not be handed over to outsiders before it arrived at Hogwarts.

However, that person was very persistent. Not only did he personally fly the two of them comfortably to Hogwarts on a beautiful flying carpet, but he also dragged them to the three broomsticks for a little reunion before arriving at the school.

After a few cups of yellow soup, the wizard saw that the two of them were not letting go, so he made a final request, asking the two of them to make a bet.

Both of them have to take out one of their own things, and compare to see whose is more novel and precious.

And the party that wins in the end can take what is on the other party's body as its own.

It is said that normal people can understand that this is no longer a matter of betting, but a proper bribe, so Rufus Fudge and Ludo Bagman... finally chose to agree without any suspense.

Compared with the wealth and wealth of the other party, it is impossible for the two of them to have any valuables on them. The only treasure that can be used for competition is naturally the Goblet of Fire.

As for what happened later, even if Ludo didn't say anything, everyone already knew it very well.

The two of Lu Duo 'won' away the other's treasure, while the other party took the Goblet of Fire and went to the private room to enjoy it alone for a while.

It should be said that this kind of not-so-smart strategy is generally not a trick for anyone with a little brain.

It's a pity that these two officials from the Ministry of Magic are a pair of recognized idiots~

"I didn't expect it to be like this. When he returned the Triwizard Cup before, there was no abnormality at all! If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be able to safely hand over the Goblet of Fire to him!" Lu Duo was nervous Xi defended, "And...yes, it's Rufus Fudge! I'm just an errand runner, and at most I'm just a commentator. He is the main person in charge of this competition, and he was the one who finally agreed to hand over the Goblet of Fire to the opponent. !"

"Damn it! Ludo Bagman, you bastard, didn't you accept what that guy brought out? You also have a part in this matter!!"

Ludo threw all the blame on Rufus Fudge, but Harry took the opportunity to unmute the second ancestor, and the latter immediately began to yell.

Now, Dumbledore didn't even have a chance to defend them.

On the eve of the start of the Triwizard Tournament, the organizer's staff tampered with the Goblet of Fire because of taking bribes. This is definitely a proper scandal.

What's more terrible is that this scandal was exposed in front of the principals of the three European schools and all the warriors, and it didn't even have to be cleaned up!

"Harry, is that all right?" After Moody sent the two noisy idiots to a corner, Dumbledore turned to Harry with a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Principal, please stop joking. How can you do this?" Harry shook his head noncommittally. Naturally, I have to give an explanation to all the teachers and students of the three schools! Take the initiative to clarify the truth, publish an apology in the newspaper, and then kick these two guys out of the competition organizing committee and wait for the final decision... None of these steps can be missed!"

"But Granger, have you thought about how the subsequent games will be held in this way?" Moody interjected with a frown at this moment, "If such a scandal occurs on the eve of the game, once it spreads , What will the audience think, and how can they believe in the fairness of this game?!"

"It's not easy, why don't we continue to hold it ourselves?" Harry said with a disapproving smile, "The three principals can serve as judges, I believe no one will doubt their fairness; the referee of the competition can be judged by me or Moody Professor, you are in charge, anyway, as long as they are not allowed to violate the rules and ensure the safety of everyone; there is also commentary at the end, isn’t there a man named Lee Jordan in Gryffindor, he originally commented on the Quidditch game , I just found him some work this year."

In just a few words, Harry completely kicked the Ministry of Magic out of the competition system, and also arranged the follow-up matters clearly, which directly blocked Lao Deng from speaking.

Harry's offensive shouldn't be too fierce, it's almost like pressing the shit bowl on the head of the Ministry of Magic step by step. Even if Lao Deng wanted to die, he didn't dare to go too far.

Because Harry has already defined Hogwarts, a person with vested interests who selected two warriors, as an innocent victim who will be suspected and accused by others. If Lao Deng will continue to support the Ministry of Magic at this time , then he is just as dereliction of duty as those two guys before.

"Okay... If the other two principals have no objections, we will bypass the Ministry of Magic and hold the next competition ourselves."

Therefore, in the end, he could only give up those two scams.

"We, Durmstrang, have no objection." Hearing Lao Deng's words, Karkaroff expressed his opinion immediately, "And I personally support Mr. Granger as the referee, so the safety of the students will be more guaranteed."

"I have no objection either... The Ministry of Magic in England has been exposed to too many scandals recently. They shouldn't have interfered too much in this kind of competition, otherwise it will be all shady!" Madam Maxim also accepted this. Proposal, don't forget to step on the British official.

"In that case..."

"Then, let's talk about other things!"

Once again, Harry cut Old Deng straight off.

"The truth of the matter has come to light, and Beauxbaton and Durmstrang have also received the necessary explanation, but what about us?"

Harry looked around and finally returned to Dumbledore.

"Because of those two bastards' bribery and dereliction of duty, Hermione passively became a warrior. This matter...does we have to give us an explanation?!"

Chapter 630 Participation conditions, legal dragon raising

Today's matter, Harry will definitely not just let it go.

Are you kidding me, do you really think that Hermione has to participate in the competition if she just spits out a name from the Goblet of Fire?

"Granger, stop making excuses, okay? Once the Goblet of Fire selects a contestant, it will make an unbreakable contract. No matter what, the four of them must participate in the competition!"

At this time, Moody had replaced Old Deng and started to face Harry. He knew Dumbledore's difficulties.

There are some things that Dumbledore, as the headmaster, can no longer say.

"Mr. Moody, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Harry didn't want to let it go at all, "I don't care if Hermione has to compete, I only know that she has been implicated for no reason, so she must win." There is an explanation!"

"Boy, things are already like this now, no one will give you the explanation you want! Anyway, the contract with the Goblet of Fire has been reached, and no one can change it."

Seeing Harry's reluctance, Moody simply started cheating.

But soon, his expression froze directly on his face.

Because between the flips of Harry's palms, there was already an irregular, dark red stone in his hands!

"The Philosopher's Stone..." Dumbledore muttered to himself, letting everyone know what it was.

"That's right, it's the Philosopher's Stone." Harry nodded indifferently, but his tone was full of threats, "The contract of the Goblet of Fire can't be changed, right? Then I'll directly refine it into a pile of rotten wood and see how the contract ends. Can you cancel it!"

"you…"

"By the way, let's destroy the Triwizard Cup as well." Without waiting for Moody to speak, Harry continued to grab the white, "I don't think you guys should do this Triwizard Tournament, and where are the other two schools? Where are you going?"

"Hey! Who do you think you are..."

"Fleur! Shut up!!" Hearing that Harry planned to prevent the continuation of the competition, Fleur immediately jumped out to sarcastically, but was then severely reprimanded by Madam Maxime.

Who is Harry?

He is someone that wizards all over Europe can't afford!

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point. After thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall put forward his own opinion

"Mr. Granger, if you really don't want Miss Granger to participate, you can let her voluntarily concede defeat and withdraw from the competition at the beginning of the first round... How do you think about this?"

She is indeed a smart witch, and she cares enough about Hermione, this method is relatively the best solution.

However, Harry still shook his head.

"Sorry, Professor McGonagall, I don't agree with this, because I will definitely not let Hermione's reputation suffer any damage! If she doesn't want to become a warrior, then she doesn't have to participate in any competitions, and she doesn't even need to admit defeat!"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work... What on earth do you want?!" Moody asked Harry frantically.

"It depends on her own opinion." Harry smiled and looked at Hermione beside him. "Whether she wants to participate in the competition is her freedom, and no one else, including the Goblet of Fire, has the right to interfere."

The schoolgirl seemed to have her own ideas. She had been reminding Harry with her eyes just now, and what Harry had to do was to support her unconditionally.

"I can agree to participate in the Triwizard Tournament." Hermione just spoke, and everyone present was stunned.

However, her words immediately made the faces of the two idiots in the Ministry of Magic turn livid.

"But just like Harry said, I was involved for no reason because of the negligence of the Ministry of Magic, so there is no problem in participating, but the Ministry of Magic must also make compensation for this!"

"Tell me, Hermione, what do you want?" Dumbledore asked before the two pig teammates from the Ministry of Magic.

He was a little relieved now, after all, if Hermione was willing to cheat, it meant that there was still room for improvement in this matter.

"I want to apply for a legal dragon breeding permit!" Hermione's words once again stunned everyone.

"Little girl, how can you mess around like that kid?" Moody said speechlessly, "Private dragon breeding is against the law, don't you know about such things?"

"Of course I know that private dragon breeding is against the law, but what I want to apply for is a legal collective dragon breeding permit." Hermione explained with a calm smile, "As far as I know, the dragon trainers in the reserve I have been dealing with fire dragons all year round, and the underground vaults of Gringotts also keep fire dragons as guards. So as long as it is in a form other than private, raising dragons is completely legal!"

"Therefore, I applied for permission to raise dragons at Hogwarts, so that students can actually learn more about fire dragons in the protection of magical animals class. This is my request. If the Ministry of Magic agrees Now, I can go to the Triwizard Tournament!"

In other words, ever since she found out that Harry was going to use this incident to deal with the Ministry of Magic, Hermione has been thinking about what she should do to maximize Harry's interests this time.

And after thinking about it for a while, she finally realized that the current Harry actually lacks nothing, all he lacks is a legal license to raise a dragon!

If the Ministry of Magic really agrees to her request this time, then Nobeta will become the public property of the Hogwarts collective breeding and can be put on the bright side!

As for the danger...the other party has already thrown her name into the Goblet of Fire, so even if she doesn't participate in the competition, will the danger disappear?

"Hermione..."

Seeing the young girl talking eloquently in front of everyone, Harry felt that he was deeply touched.

After all, it was for him that Hermione decided to take the risk.

Yes, when he stood up for her and tried his best to protect her, why didn't she keep thinking about how to help him the most?

He looked at Hermione's side face with gentle eyes, but found that the other party was also looking at him with a smile.

That smile swept across Harry's heart like a breeze, evoking a strong throbbing in his heart...

Take her home and give her an aging dose!

It's just a pity that at such a time when it's obviously very warm, there will always be people who can't tell the height of their eyebrows and jump out to spoil the fun.

"I protest! Why can she raise conditions? It's unfair to us to have an extra challenger!"

"Miss Delacour, please stay calm." Dumbledore stopped Fleur, who was on the verge of death, "I know that this matter is not fair to the four warriors, but Fortunately, Hermione gave me enough inspiration. I decided that, in addition to the Triwizard Cup and the bonus of 1000 Galleons, the victorious warrior is specially allowed to submit a wish to the British Ministry of Magic, as long as it is within the scope of the Ministry of Magic. We will try our best to realize it.”

Speaking of this, Dumbledore paused for a moment, and then continued: "That is to say, if Hermione wants to win the legal right to raise dragons for Hogwarts, then she must find a way to win in the Triwizard Tournament." You have to win!"

"No problem!" After a little thought, Hermione nodded firmly, "I will definitely work hard!"

"Okay, I think we can finally reach a consensus." A look of relief appeared on Dumbledore's face, and then he turned to the corner of the room, "Mr. Bagman, I still need you before the results of your processing come out." Mentoring the Warriors on their first project."

"Oh... Guidance, yes, I will definitely guide it well!" Ludo Bagman responded incoherently.

"The first event is to test the bravery of the warriors, and it will be held on November 11th... I, I will tell you everything I know, please spare me this time, will it work! Everything is true They are all envoys of Rufus Fudge!!"

Chapter 630 Crisis public relations, the current situation

After the selection of warriors was over, Dumbledore and Moody left Hogwarts overnight with two mentally handicapped members of the Ministry of Magic. They didn't even have to guess what they were going to do.

In other words, Harry predicted early on that Ludo Bagman, an idiot, could definitely play more roles as an opponent than as a teammate.

But now he didn't expect that, while this prophecy was successfully fulfilled, the Ministry of Magic actually picked up a Rufus Fudge who had the same attributes as Ludo.

With such a combination of a big hole and a small hole on the stall, Lao Deng will probably lose a lot of hair in order to regain the situation this time.

However, the crisis public relations of the Ministry of Magic this time was also very fast. Cornelius Fudge held a press conference the next morning. After a sincere apology, he vowed to expel the officials involved. Public office will never be hired, and finally it means that the British Ministry of Magic will still fully support the holding of the Triwizard Tournament, but will no longer participate in any affairs of the organizing committee of the tournament.

At the same time, Ludo Bagman and Rufus Fudge also publicly issued an apology and a statement of acknowledgment; at the same time, Rufus Fudge also admitted that he had previously discriminated against Mrs. Maxime at the dinner party, and Take the initiative to demand that you be severely punished in accordance with the provisions of the 'International Law on the Protection of Human Organisms' Rights and Interests'.
