Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Chapter 498 Umbridge’s whereabouts

"Yes, Minister Cornelius Fudge has long been aware of the fact that Voldemort has been resurrected." At the press conference a few days later, when faced with interviews from the Daily Prophet and many other news media, Tiye said La smiled and said these words to Cornelius Fudge's great relief.

"All the obscurity and resistance that Minister Cornelius Fudge has shown over the past year are designed to confuse Voldemort and his Death Eater followers lurking within the Ministry of Magic so that they can take the initiative to get out." Tiera continued. Explained, "The result is obvious. We captured three of Voldemort's henchmen, Bellatrix Rastrange and Fenrir Greyberg, who had recently escaped from prison, and Lou Lu, who was lurking within the Ministry of Magic. Hughes Malfoy."

"It's a pity that although we also captured Voldemort, Voldemort's strength obviously exceeded our expectations. During the process of escorting him to Azkaban, Voldemort unfortunately escaped from prison, so we are still in danger."

"Lucius Malfoy is now under our strict guard until he reveals all the Death Eater traitors lurking within the Ministry of Magic." After finishing speaking, Tiera tilted her head and looked at Cornelius Fudge. Then he stepped back from the Ministry of Magic's podium and stood obediently next to the news podium. Beside the podium, besides Tiera, there was a cool old man wearing sunglasses——

It was Salazar Slytherin.

The other members of the Golden Book Conference were not keen on politics, and they were eager to combine what they had seen, recorded, and the calculations they had done with Tiera some time ago to study the mystery of the ritual of becoming a god, so they all returned to Hogwart early. Now, Tiera only left one Slytherin to support herself.

But it didn’t matter. After Dumbledore left, Cornelius Fudge thought that Tiera was not very experienced in the world, so he wanted to try to trick Tiera. As a result, Tiera moved her left hand and right hand in slow motion without saying a word -

Performed a remote release of Voldemort for Cornelius Fudge.

After that, Cornelius Fudge became honest and held a press conference today according to Tiera's plan.

"Oh, yes, yes." Cornelius Fudge took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then straightened his collar, "First of all, I have to announce with great regret that the wizard who calls himself the Demon King... …Oh, you all know who I’m referring to, still alive and active among us again.”

When Fudge addressed the reporters, he made a very official statement as usual, "Thank you Mr. Lockhart for his sacrifice and contribution. When the entire British wizarding community was in the most critical moment, he stood up, fought back, and captured the self-inflicted man. The wizard who claims to be the Dark Lord."

"To this end, we are applying for a first-class medal from the Order of Merlin in recognition of Mr. Tiera Lockhart's contribution to maintaining peace in the magical world."

After finishing speaking, Cornelius Fudge glanced at Tiera guiltily.

But Tiera didn't look away, staring at the reporters and onlookers under the stage.

"It is also a pity that there has been a massive rebellion among the Dementors in Azkaban and they have expressed their opposition to continuing to work for the Ministry. We believe that these Dementors are currently working for that demon, and I think maybe this is the one who The reason why the devil escaped from prison while being escorted." Cornelius Fudge said regretfully, sadly, and slightly apologetically, "Our escort method is foolproof, but it is a pity that the devil's insidiousness and cunning are far beyond our imagination. , actually instigated the dementors, which we didn’t expect.”

"Because of the escape of that devil..." Cornelius Fudge couldn't help but glance at Tiera as he spoke, then coughed and continued, "Because of the escape of that devil, it means that the dark group of Death Eaters It has regained power... I regret to announce to everyone that from today on, the Ministry of Magic will enter a state of emergency, and in order to allow our wizarding community to better deal with the upcoming evil with the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord In the struggle for power, and having achieved a certain degree of victory, I announce that the Ministry of Magic will implement two reform policies."

"First of all, there is the "Hogwarts Education Reform Act" proposed by President Dumbledore a year ago. I signed it yesterday." Cornelius Fudge continued, "Mr. Tiera Lockhart signed it the day before yesterday. His death file was erased and his student status at Hogwarts was restored. By September this year, he will serve as the new Hogwarts Inquisitor to serve as a supervisor for Ministry of Magic officials and Hogwarts students. Identity, assist Principal Dumbledore in implementing the Hogwarts Education Reform Act, and further improve this reform law during the implementation process."

"I will send the specific documents of the "Hogwarts Education Reform Act" to everyone after this press conference." After Cornelius Fudge finished speaking, he paused, as if waiting for reporters to ask questions.

"Yes, this young lady." Cornelius Fudge saw at a glance a little girl with platinum blond hair sitting in the front raising her hand.

"Hello, Mr. Minister, my name is Luna Lovegood, the reporter of "The Quibbler."" Luna said softly, "How is the last Hogwarts Inquisitor doing?"

"Oh...Ms. Umbridge..." Cornelius Fudge took out a hand towel to wipe his sweat, and then glanced at Tiera guiltily——

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with Tiera's argument. As for the double act between Cornelius Fudge and Dumbledore, as long as Dumbledore doesn't refute the rumor, the matter is basically a done deal. But except for——

Dolores Umbridge.

Because she went too far, to the point where Cornelius Fudge wanted to protect her but didn't know how to help her.

"We have concrete evidence that Ms. Dolores Umbridge had instructed and personally used the Cruciatus Curse when she was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and Hogwarts Special Inquisitor at Hogwarts. She tortures the students who oppose her with a series of black magic spells. I wonder what explanation you have for this?" Luna asked lightly.

As soon as Luna finished speaking, there was a rustling discussion in the audience——

"This...this...this..." Cornelius Fudge nervously wiped his sweat again and looked at Tiera frequently.

Tiera nodded, and Cornelius Fudge seemed to be pardoned.

"I can only tell you with great regret that Ms. Dolores Umbridge has probably been won over by Voldemort." Cornelius Fudge bowed slightly, as if he was bowing, "It's because I don't recognize people well." , her disguise was so good that she allowed such a cancer to hide in the Ministry of Magic. We had already sent her from Hogwarts to Azkaban three days ago, when we captured the devil. , but it is a pity that on the day the Dark Lord escaped from prison, she also disappeared from the Azkaban prison, and her whereabouts are unknown now. We guess that she may have defected to the wizard who claims to be the Dark Lord."

Listening to Cornelius Fudge's speech, Tiera smiled and let her thoughts drift into the distance——

In a dark, remote forest castle, Voldemort was listening to Dolores Umbridge, an ugly woman like a toad, telling her everything she knew about the ritual of becoming a god, while using Legilimency to confirm The truth of Umbridge's words.
