"Of course, fried-ended snails are extremely delicious food!" Under Rita Skeeter's skeptical gaze, Tom swore that no reptile food could be more delicious than fried-ended snail meat.
This is of course nonsense. The snails are indeed very fragrant in their larval stage, but this is not necessarily the case for these mature snails. The bigger the animal, the more delicious it is. Fish like Spanish mackerel may be too large.
As a result, the meat quality is not tender enough.
The same goes for snails.
Seeing Rita's doubtful look, Tom added: "Look, they look like lobsters!"
Rita stared at the snails for a long time, unable to connect them with lobsters, even though both had thick carapace.
"Okay, it might be some kind of food similar to lobster." Rita's eyes wandered around the surrounding students, and the students she saw stood up to prove that the snails were indeed delicious.
Rita Skeeter:…
Hagrid:???
He is the most confused person. Why doesn't he know that the fried-ended snails he raises are very delicious?
With so many people testifying, Rita also believed Tom's lies.
But no matter how delicious the fried snails are, it means nothing to Rita Skeeter. She wants to make big news! But such a small thing as the discovery of a new ingredient certainly cannot make the front page headlines, especially in
This special moment.
So she waved her hand and left with regret. Before leaving, she asked Tom several times if she wanted to accept an interview with him, but Tom refused.
The reason why Rita is under great pressure is that the front page of the Daily Prophet has been completely occupied by the attempted robbery of Azkaban Prison in the past two days. Voldemort almost broke into Azkaban and it is impossible to suppress it - Dumbledore
Lido would not suppress the news, not to mention the death of an official from the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic learned the full story soon after the incident. However, the Ministry of Magic did not seem to want to reveal the news that the mysterious person was involved. According to them, they needed more concrete evidence, even if the witness was Deng Xiaoping.
Bullydo, you can't conclude that Voldemort has been resurrected based on just one word.
The negative attitude of the Ministry of Magic made Dumbledore a little disappointed. He thought he could get more support from the Ministry of Magic, but now it seems that the biggest help they can get is not causing trouble. Dumbledore is disappointed, but Tom knows that this has already happened.
This is a pretty good result. At least the Ministry of Magic did not launch the Daily Prophet to describe Dumbledore as an senile person who can't control his mouth. Tom can also understand Bones's difficulties. Not all the people below
Listen to her, she also has great constraints within the Ministry of Magic. But it is conceivable that if Tom and Dumbledore win a few more times, these constraints will be weakened a lot.
Now that Tom and Dumbledore have the upper hand, they only need to add chips to their balances little by little to achieve the final victory.
However, although the Ministry of Magic did not want to mention the mysterious man, it made extensive reports on the attempted prison break, held a grand funeral for Umbridge, and invited dignitaries from the wizarding world from all over the world to express their condolences. This was not because of magic.
The Ministry values Umbridge very much, but because funerals are a good time to finalize various agreements.
After Rita left, Hagrid looked at Tom and asked, "Are you serious about the delicious food you just said?"
Tom nodded, and at this moment he discovered that a squid was already dying - it struggled too fiercely, and was thrown to the ground by Hagrid, and was deformed due to the pressure.
"Don't you know if you try it? The squid is injured, I don't think it can survive..." Tom kept tempting in Hagrid's ear.
…
At the same time, the halls of the Ministry of Magic were filled with silence.
"We are gathered here today to commemorate the passing of our good colleague, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and Commissioner to Azkaban, Dolores Jane Umbridge. Her sacrifice was so important to all British magic.
For the world, it is worth a full day's suspension of work to commemorate." Thicknesse, Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, stood on the podium with a solemn expression.
On the table behind him was a black coffin, with Umbridge's body lying inside, surrounded by flowers. Her coffin was also filled with flowers presented by various forces who came to express their condolences.
"The frenzied dark wizard attacked Azkaban. Fortunately, Umbridge and all the dementors rose up to resist, and they were able to support the arrival of Mr. Albus Dumbledore, successfully defending the dignity and justice of magic...
Umbridge fell in that barren land, which is almost unimaginable for us wizards living under the sun..."
"It's ridiculous. Even I know that woman is just an insignificant character." A director from the French Ministry of Magic curled his lips, "If she really has a high status, how could she be sent to Azkaban?
"
"The biggest achievement of her life was her death. At her funeral, the agreement we reached exceeded the total of the previous ten years." His colleague looked calm and even a little happy. He grabbed the waiter beside him.
, took two glasses of champagne.
"What a good death!" He concluded Umbridge's departure, "I wish we could have more funerals like this!"
"The departure of Dolores will not stop us from moving forward. The Ministry of Magic will continue to fight against dark wizards thoroughly, resolutely and powerfully under the leadership of Minister Bones. Officials at all levels must learn from
Understand it deeply and work hard..."
After Thicknesse's condolences ended, the wizards in the audience stopped pretending. Everyone showed off their cards and entered work mode completely.
Representatives from the Ministry of Magic of various countries quickly reached cooperation one after another, talking about everything from the thickness of the crucible to the list of contraband items, from mission visits to the naming of magical animals.
As the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, Barty Crouch Sr. was stopped by two members of the Japanese Ministry of Magic.
"Visit?" Old Crouch frowned and pulled Percy over.
"It's like this. The General hopes to lead the envoy to England for an expected three-day visit." An executive officer from the Japanese Ministry of Magic said respectfully, "If possible, the General hopes to visit the legend together."
The Triwizard Tournament."
Percy's eyes lit up and he thought this was really a good suggestion. His boss, Mr. Crouch, thought so too. So he nodded, indicating that he had no reason to refuse.
"If Minister Bones has no objection, we can discuss the details of the visit..." Crouch assured.
The executive officer of the Japanese Ministry of Magic also showed a bright smile: "Of course! We are very much looking forward to it!"
