Witcher at Hogwarts

The energetic Fudge sat back at his desk and asked his intern Lila to bring him the official documents that had been accumulated over the past few days, and he started processing them with great interest.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door of Fudge's office, before Fudge could agree.

The door was pushed open at once, and Barty Crouch walked into the office.

"Connelly, I really didn't expect you to come back to work." Barty Crouch said bossily to Fudge.

According to Barty Crouch's past experience, Fudge would immediately fly into a rage and quarrel with him angrily after hearing him speak like this.

But this time, Fudge was very calm, still looking at Barty Crouch with a smile.

"I'm still the Minister of Magic, Crouch. It's what I should do to fulfill my duties and work conscientiously." Fudge said to Barty Crouch calmly.

Barty Crouch frowned. Fudge's attitude made him feel like he had been punched in cotton.

Then Barty Crouch's frown relaxed again. Now that Fudge's defeat was certain, all he could do now was just a desperate struggle.

"Then I wish you a happy job." Barty Crouch said in a sinister tone, snorting coldly before leaving.

Fudge was still smiling as he watched Barty Crouch's figure go away. The moment Barty Crouch's figure disappeared from his sight.

Fudge's gaze suddenly became eerie and terrifying. This terrifying gaze only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.

Fudge regained his usual affable gaze.

The news of Fudge's return to the Ministry of Magic only lasted a few days before disappearing, and the employees of the Ministry of Magic returned to their busy work.

Everyone has understood Fudge's return as the outgoing minister's desire to maintain his last bit of dignity and respectability.

Although Fudge and many people were unhappy about the issue of dementors, everyone now had a tacit understanding and wanted to give the minister the last dignity.

Even those who continued to impeach Fudge in the Wizengamot have died down in the past few days.

Fudge still comes to work on time these days, and still handles his official duties in an orderly manner, as if nothing happened.

The Ministry of Magic has also become calm during this period, and there is no new news about the escaped Sirius Black.

Many people now believe that Sirius Black probably drowned in the sea during his escape, and most people are willing to think so.

In this peaceful life, everyone began to discuss some interesting things, such as the recent sudden outbreak of rat infestations in some Ministry of Magic employees' residences.

This time the rat infestation came very suddenly and without any reason. It seemed that when everyone was just aware of it, swarms of big rats had already made their home in the house.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously and just used magic to clean up the mice in their homes.

But what was unexpected was that the rat infestation got worse, with more rats swarming into the employees' homes.

The furniture was gnawed, shoes were chewed up, holes were chewed out of clothes, and even some wizards' wands were chewed off by crazy rats.

Moreover, the rodent infestation has been spreading, and it has only appeared in the homes of a few employees since the beginning.

As the epidemic gradually spread, rats were found in most employees' homes, and rats even appeared in the shops in Diagon Alley.

Even the homes of many senior officials of the Ministry of Magic have been attacked by rats.

Suddenly, the sudden rat infestation became the biggest problem facing the Ministry of Magic.

Just when everyone was worried about the rat in front of them, Fudge stood up.

He arranged for a team with extensive experience in dealing with rats to carry out the extermination work.

And there are no fees, everything is funded by the Ministry of Magic. There are no traces of mice in any house they have treated.

This time Fudge's unexpectedly reliable behavior earned him some good reputation.

Although it would not reverse his inevitable defeat, there were far fewer extreme remarks like sacking Fudge from all his posts and expelling him from the Ministry of Magic.

Everyone is now really inclined to give the old minister some respect.

At the same time, the work of eradicating rats is still proceeding in an orderly manner. In order to prevent the remaining rat nests, all houses on the entire street where rats have appeared must be inspected.

Because the rat infestation was so severe this time, no one protested against this somewhat intrusive privacy practice.

After all, compared to an examination, a mouse suddenly falling from the ceiling onto a person's face while sleeping is more unacceptable.

But when the rat eradication team was dealing with the home of Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, which was one of the streets with the worst rat infestation, they encountered serious obstacles.

Director Barty Crouch was determined to defend his right to privacy and prohibited anyone from entering his home.

At first, the first rat extermination team accepted his request and only cleared out the rats in other people's homes.

But it didn't take long for the rat infestation on that street to break out again.

The fuss was even more violent than last time, but unfortunately Director Barty Crouch still insisted on refusing to allow the rodent exterminator team to enter his house.

Director Barty Crouch's behavior this time aroused widespread dissatisfaction among everyone, because just when he refused the rat-catching team, everyone watched helplessly as a rat emerged from the chimney of his house.

Director Barty Crouch's neighbors made serious protests against him. They said that they could not let this terrible rat infestation continue to plague the streets just because of his personal emotions.

After all, this rat infestation almost caused an old witch to have her toes bitten off by rats.

That's right, these crazy rats are now biting people.

Residents of the entire street gathered in front of Barty Crouch's house to protest.

This huge momentum even attracted reporters from the Daily Prophet to take pictures of him.

This made Barty Crouch a little nervous. Now was the critical moment for him to be re-elected as Minister of Magic. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on everyone.

He also knows how venomous the Daily Prophet reporter can be.

But at the same time, the things hidden in his room must not be discovered by anyone.

But now the neighbors outside were getting more and more noisy, and the reporter from the Daily Prophet also turned on the damn flashlight and took pictures of his face.

In the end, Barty Crouch, who cherished feathers, agreed to the request of the exterminator team.

But Barty Crouch made three rules for the exterminator team, that is, he kept important Ministry of Magic secrets in some rooms and could not enter them.

The exterminator team readily agreed to Barty Crouch's request.

Then the rodent control team entered Barty Crouch's house and started the rodent control work.

At first, everything went smoothly. Barty Crouch closely protected the room where his son was hidden, not allowing anyone to enter.

Fortunately, the rat extermination team also abided by the agreement they just made and did not show any curiosity about the locked room.

It didn't take long for the rodent extermination work to be over, and the rodent extermination team packed up their tools and prepared to leave.

The protests from neighbors outside gradually subsided.

At this moment, an accident happened suddenly.
