Harry Potter's Bastard

Although many people look down on Umbridge, there is one thing that everyone agrees on: that is, Umbridge is a woman who is good at drilling, she is very good at figuring out the mind of her boss, and for those things that her boss wants to do but can't, she can often take the lead and do those things that are not on the table for her boss. This is also the reason why Umbridge, a half-blood wizard, was able to reach the position of senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic.

She didn't care about her reputation, she knew that if she wanted to climb up, she had to firmly hold on to her boss's thigh, which turned out to be Fudge, but while Umbridge gradually became more powerful, she came into contact with more wizards with great influence, Fudge, who could be said to have a good understanding of Umbridge, was immediately abandoned by her, compared to the camp of the pure-blood family, a single Minister of Magic seemed a little unspeakable.

Umbridge is one of the very few people here who knows the truth, and the two Dementors were still released by her, so she knows everything about this matter, and she also understands that if according to the current laws issued by the Ministry of Magic, Harry will not have a problem using the Patronus Charm in that situation, but Umbridge doesn't care if Harry is innocent or not, and she doesn't care if the witnesses are true or not, she came here today to find trouble.

Ms. Bones was looking silently at Mrs. Figg, and after listening to her description, she spoke slowly: "That's what you saw, isn't it?"

"That's right. Mrs. Figg nodded stiffly.

"Okay. Fudge spoke: "You can leave first, and we'll verify your identity later." "

Mrs. Feige looked timidly at Fudge and then at Dumbledore, then stood up and shuffled towards the door. Harry heard the door slam shut behind her.

"The testimony of this witness is not convincing. Umbridge said sharply, "Anyone with a modicum of common sense about Dementors can just describe it - it's not that difficult. "

"You mean—she just gave perjury?" Ms. Bones frowned at Umbridge.

"Don't be so nervous, Emilia......" Umbridge said slickly, "I'm just saying what I think, and even more so ...... Dementors are all under the surveillance of the Ministry of Magic, and there is no way that any Dementors can run into Muggle neighborhoods, and there are only two, do you think this is possible?"

"If there are no Dementors, then why would she say that?" Retorted Miss Bones, "Besides, why did Mr. Potter choose the Patronus Charm? I can't think of any other possibility than that he met the Dementors." "

"The Dementors ran into a Muggle neighborhood and happened to run into a wizard?and a Squib that 'happened to be passing' by?" Umbridge looked around, "I think everyone here will doubt the truth of this." "

Many of the wizards present spoke in agreement, and Umbridge looked at Ms. Bones triumphantly.

"I don't think any of us would believe it was a coincidence. Dumbledore's voice was soft, but everyone heard it, and the people quickly fell silent.

Umbridge moved uneasily in his chair, leaning back a little, "And what do you mean? Professor Dumbledore?"

"Meaning, I think someone sent them. Dumbledore's words were straightforward.

"I suppose if someone had ordered two Dementors to swagger around Little Whiking, we should have a record!" Fudge reminded that he was the Minister, and Dumbledore said this as if to imply that he had ordered the Dementors to attack Harry.

"I spoke to you about Dementors, Connelly. Dumbledore said mildly, "They can't be trusted, so ...... I think you can all understand what I mean, they only follow the orders of a wizard. "

The flesh on Fudge's face trembled uncontrollably, indeed, Dumbledore had talked to him about it, and even the Selwyn kid had said it...... And now, they are all right...... The Dementors are already showing signs of getting out of control, that is...... Azkaban is no longer safe.

Now that someone was able to bypass the Ministry of Magic and give orders to the Dementors, and the Dementors accepted, the worst-case scenario they spoke of, the Azkaban mass prison break, was almost predictable......

Fudge suddenly felt a little hot on the stool under his buttocks, and he wanted to jump up immediately, but he was still the Minister of Magic - before he was kicked down. Fudge could even foresee his fate next: Azkaban would escape en masse, the Death Eaters would be freed, and he would be ousted by the cries of the entire wizarding community, and those behind Umbridge would take the opportunity to elect one of their men......

The current hearing seemed unimportant to Fudge, and whatever the outcome, his fate seemed sealed.

Fudge touched the sweat from his forehead with a trembling hand, and was about to speak, but Umbridge, who was beside him, spoke again:

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore," she said in a high-pitched, thin voice like a little girl, "I'm sure I must have misunderstood you, I'm so stupid, but I think for a moment, you seemed to be implying that the Ministry of Magic ordered the attack on this boy!"

She let out a silver bell-like laugh, and Harry could hear the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Several members of the Wizengamot laughed along with her. But no one really found it funny, and it couldn't be more obvious.

There are very few people in the Ministry of Magic who can give direct orders to the Dementors, one is the minister, one is the deputy minister, and the other is the director of the Auror Office, but the director of the Auror Office is only valid if the Auror Office orders the Dementors are within the scope of Azkaban, and ordering the Dementors to leave Azkaban is not within the authority of the Auror Office. In other words, Dumbledore's words were implying that one of the people between Fudge and Umbridge had given the order, and that was exactly what happened.

This is Umbridge's weakness, because if this matter is to be investigated, it will definitely be found. But Umbridge had to take the risk, as she had to do it if she wanted to go further in the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge already understood it at this point, but he couldn't change anything. A half-blood wizard like Umbridge without a family backing is a pawn that can be discarded at will, and the people behind her can get another one at any time, and there is no point in getting Umbridge rid of her.

Fudge didn't think he had come to life until today: the Minister of Magic was nothing more than a slightly "advanced" pawn,

Sighing, Fudge said, "Okay, I don't think there's any need for us to argue anymore. Let's proceed to the vote. "
