Chapter 408 Troubled news
"The Ministry of Magic announced the Azkaban prison break last night, claiming that this was the worst incident that has occurred in recent years."
Hermione read the newspaper and spread out the pages of the Daily Prophet. Under the photos, there were a few lines of descriptive text.
"The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, confirmed this in an interview. He has informed the Muggle Prime Minister of the danger of the fugitives. Once those Death Eaters take the opportunity to cause trouble, unpredictable consequences will occur."
"It's more like he said it because he couldn't stand the pressure." Ron spat, "It's not just a few days since the Death Eaters started causing trouble. The Azkaban prison breakout happened several days ago."
This was indeed the case. According to the internal information from the Ministry of Magic obtained by Kingsley at the time, Fudge wanted to suppress the news forever, but he did not expect that the noise caused by the Death Eaters would be so big.
"It's a pity that we are now in a difficult situation." Fudge said in an interview. "I think this is related to Blake's escape two years ago. He may even have taught other people in prison his escape experience. You have to know
, one of the escaped Death Eaters has a close relationship with him, and we have planned to summon Black to investigate this matter..."
"What the hell?" Harry felt annoyed after hearing this, "Why would you blame Sirius for this?"
"Perhaps Fudge needs a scapegoat." Hermione explained, "But he obviously found the wrong person. He thought that it would be fine if he diverted the conflict."
"But Sirius is already innocent. He admitted this himself."
"He doesn't care about this. Moreover, Sirius' previous remarks have already caused Fudge's dissatisfaction." Louis shook his head. Fudge's operation did bring a lot of trouble to the Order of the Phoenix. At least, Sirius, as the Phoenix
One of the main fighting forces of the society has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion, so he will definitely not be able to make any big moves.
"Don't worry, Harry, Sirius will be fine. We can all prove that none of these things were done by him, and Fudge can't find anything," Hermione comforted.
The Azkaban prison break incident did not cause a big sensation among the student community at first. At least in the library, everyone was bowing their heads and busy with academic problems. About two hours later, when Harry's brain was already tired
When she could no longer hold any knowledge points, Mrs. Pince finally started to drive people out.
Harry deliberately walked at the back and asked Louis for advice on the method they had discussed halfway before. Louis told him that this plan was risky, and if it was not controlled well, it might be destructive to his soul.
"If you are sure, I will accompany you to Slytherin House tomorrow to find someone."
Harry himself didn't hesitate much. On the one hand, it was out of trust in Louis, and on the other hand, he was really fed up with being tortured by Snape's Legilimency every week.
"Oh well.."
Early the next morning, the panic caused by the prison break began to spread gradually. Everyone was discussing the horror caused by the Death Eaters' prison break. Some people began to wonder whether the prison break had happened long ago but the Ministry of Magic had not reported it.
The news spread.
Children who have lived in the wizarding world since childhood are even more afraid of Death Eaters, because Voldemort is more like a demon and the God of Death hiding in the dark, and Death Eaters are his messengers of execution in the world, and the crimes they commit are well known to everyone.
, some students’ families have even been torn apart because of them.
Susan Embers, a Hufflepuff student whose uncle and family were killed by Death Eaters, became even more painful. She frankly said that she could feel Harry's mood.
The attitude of the students in the school towards Harry gradually changed. Even Seamus, who had a quarrel with Harry at the beginning of the semester, took the initiative to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Harry, now my mother thinks the Daily Prophet is talking nonsense." Seamus lowered his head, with a little shame in his eyes.
"It's okay, Seamus." Harry shook his head, he had never taken this matter to heart.
In short, the exposure of this prison break greatly increased the reputation of Dumbledore's side. Louis sometimes did not understand which side the Ministry of Magic under Fudge was helping.
Umbridge responded quickly to this matter. By noon, the students quickly saw another notice posted on the bulletin board:
The High Inquisitor of Hogwarts expressly prohibits students and teachers from talking about things that are not related to the content of their studies and the subjects they teach.
Even more crazy than Umbridge was Trelawney, the Divination teacher. According to Harry and the others, she had predicted Umbridge's death in class.
As a result, Trelawney attended every divination class with trepidation and hysteria. Once, she even forgot to bring the crystal ball for the class and listened to her nervous chatter for a whole hour.
And Harry also got the help of the super ghost Elise with the help of Louis. Through Astoria, Louis found Natasha who was reading in the Slytherin common room. The little loli knew that Louis was coming.
Why did he ask her? Although she was a little dissatisfied with Louis only asking Elise for help every time, she was still very obedient and handed over control of her body to her.
This time, Astoria followed Louis. It was also the first time that she saw the super ghost's appendage under normal circumstances, revealing a mature temptation on the face of the twelve-year-old girl.
"What's the matter again, handsome boy?"
Elise stretched her waist lazily, looked at the three little wizards in front of her, and played with her hair playfully.
After Louis explained his purpose, Elise smiled contemptuously.
"Why should I help you? Don't forget, the last transaction was just that you had something I wanted." She spread her hands, and Gaunt's ring was on her right ring finger.
"What if I said I could help you?" Louis looked very calm, "I think you don't have much time left."
Elise's eyes narrowed, and she quickly walked up to Lewis. She didn't know if he had exposed something, but her expression was a little awkward.
Louis had indeed guessed it. Although Elise was a super ghost, she did not choose to devour Natasha's soul. Instead, she coexisted with the little girl. However, this would cause a problem. She did not have the completeness of this body.
Control, two souls in one body will be repelled, which will intensify the consumption of her foreign soul body.
The solution to this situation is either for Elise to swallow Natasha's soul and take full control of her body, or to leave voluntarily. However, once the super ghost chooses to possess it and leaves later, its soul body will directly dissipate. This is also
What worries Elise is that after such a year of getting along, she will definitely not choose the former.
"Although I don't know much about ghost magic yet, I think there will be a way to add this thing."
Louis was turning an inconspicuous object in his hand, which was the small stone taken from Gunter's ring:
