Chapter 0046 Minister Fudge's Counterattack

 In addition to being a special correspondent of the Prophet Daily, Rita Skit is also an unregistered Animagus, and her Animagus is also a rare little beetle, flying around, providing her with great convenience in finding news materials! After all, no one can care about a bug at any time, right?
Because she likes to criticize everything in the magic world! No matter who it is, no matter how powerful that person has, even Dumbledore's recognized wizarding masters often report some negative reports by her. So, for granted, the reports she wrote are particularly popular with some wizards.
I remember that last year, the Prophet Daily published a news about the invasion of Gringott. That report was an incident discovered by Rita Skit in time. After publication, a frenzy of public opinion was stirred up, and the newspapers sold very well! But now, just one year later, another major event happened in Gringott, and this major event was lucky to have been received by Rita Skit.
This incident was notified by one of her wizard friends in time. At that time, her friend happened to be preparing for business at the Gringot Wizard Bank. He witnessed the passage of the little girl instantly subdued all the guards in the first half of the incident! So, after he followed the crowd out of Gringot, he sent her an emergency message as soon as possible, which made Rita Skitt move to Diagon Alley in time, witnessed and filmed the subsequent battle process with his own eyes.
So the next day, the Daily Prophet, the most influential prophet in the magic world, published the entire page with a lightning speed before the Ministry of Magic reported it. This incident was like a bombshell, smashing into the wizard society that had been calmed for many years because of the disappearance of the mysterious man.
In fact, the Prophet Daily is not only the front page headline, but also the other pages have published all the news related to this incident!
This immediately ignited the public opinion in the entire magic world. The wizards rushed to tell each other, and even the wizards who almost never read newspapers were generously paid for it. They all wanted to know whether the matter was true. Even if the Prophet Daily specially printed a number of newspapers several times more than usual, they were sold out in a short time. The wizards' enthusiasm for buying newspapers suddenly became unprecedentedly high.
"These bastards! Look at them all! Look at what they wrote? Didn't I tell you to strictly block the news? How did you do it? This is how you supervise public opinion?" In the office of the Minister of Magic, Minister Foggy roared and threw a newspaper of the Prophet Daily that day onto his secretary's face.
The secretary just smiled awkwardly, and then carefully picked up the newspaper from the ground. When he opened it, he saw that the newspaper was written in huge letters on the front page headline: Extraordinary News: After a year, Guling Pavilion was invaded again! The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were completely wiped out?
Then, the battle process was briefly explained in smaller words below the title, and on one side of the short text was accompanied by a huge range of dynamic magic photos. The photo was a pile of Aurors tied to stone pillars and drooping. Of course, the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Chang Fuji! In the photo, he was specially placed in the most conspicuous place, highlighting his trembling performance at the time, so that people who don’t know the truth could first think of the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, so that the enemy was so incompetent, not how powerful the enemy was.
"How dare they? How dare they do this? Would they not know the terrible thing about the little girl? How can we blame this? These bastards! These damn miscellaneous pieces!" Minister Fuji continued to roar hysterically.
The horror I felt when I faced the little girl yesterday, Fudge is still in fear. How could such an existence be matched by their Ministry of Magic? You know, even Dumbledore, who arrived in time, was scared on the spot! So, it is not that our army is incompetent! It is because the enemy is too powerful!
There are too many witnesses to these things. Why didn’t they write about them? They just came to write about him, Fuji? This is targeted, right? Is his position as a minister so envious? Is it so jealous? Is it just like he wants to rush himself to step down in a different way?
"Uh..." Looking at the angry minister, the secretary shrank his head, so he was so tactful that he didn't dare to talk to him.
The leader is losing his temper. If he dares to make a statement, he will most likely be unlucky.
Now, the best way is to keep being scolded without saying a word, and to continue being scolded, and to vent their anger on the minister. When the minister has scolded him enough, he is tired of scolding and his anger is about to fade away, he is the time for him as the secretary to come forward to speak.
So the secretary lowered his head and cursed him while secretly opening the second page of the newspaper. Today, the newspaper came too hastily and he didn't have time to read the contents behind it! While the minister is losing his temper, he has to quickly read the contents so that he can find a way to deal with it later.
After the secretary turned to the second page, he saw that it said: Shocking news, a powerful mysterious little girl suddenly appeared in the magic world!
Below the title, the battle process of the mysterious little girl and the record of the day were truthfully described in detail in detail: including the guards of the Gulingo Wizard Bank, instantly disarming dozens of Magic Ministry Aurors, and killing an ancient white dragon. At the end of the article, of course, there is also a photo of the white dragon burned into a skeleton, and a giant flaming bear sitting on the dragon skull as an arrogant and ferocious flame!
In the third edition, the title above is: Do Dumbledore be defeated? Sentenced to please the mysterious little girl?
Then, in the short article, there were all kinds of malicious speculations: what is the connection between this mysterious little girl and Hogwarts? It is said that there were also Hogwarts students involved. Then, they also used out-of-context photos and photos of Dumbledore when he pleased the little girl to conduct various unrealistic extension arguments! Anyway, they probably just write whatever is not reliable.
It was not until the last page of the newspaper that the real cause of the incident was written, which read: Is Gulingo still safe and trustworthy? Where should our money be saved in the future? Does the goblin still have the ability to manage Gulingo Wizard Bank?
According to people familiar with the matter on the scene, the incident started with a greedy fairy who greedily greedy for the mysterious little girl's gold coins. In order to recover its legal property, it led to the mysterious little girl's attack and put it into force...
In response, relevant sources also revealed that Guling Pavilion also paid a hundred times the compensation!
It is rumored that this compensation may have a huge amount of nearly millions of gold! At the end of the newspaper, there is still a photo of the fairy leader Bogrod sitting on the ground and bowing his head to beg for mercy and admitting his conscience.
"Didn't I specifically instruct you to do your best to keep it confidential? Why are you all published in the newspaper now? That's how you keep it confidential? What's the use of asking you guys?" Minister Fuji was still a little dissatisfied after venting his temper, so he continued to glar indignation and glared at his secretary.
"I'm really sorry, Minister, although we tried our best to arrange personnel yesterday, but... you must also know that there were too many witnesses in the matter. We didn't even know how many wizards left from Gringott at that time! There was really no way to do this." Seeing that the minister seemed to have almost finished his anger, the secretary put away the newspaper in a sensible way. Now it's almost time for him to report.
"You won't act earlier, come to the door one by one? Or just use the forgetting spell!" Fuji immediately gave a bad idea.
"Ah! Forgetful Spell? Minister! Are you kidding? We must not do that. Those are wizards, not muggles from the outside world! Once we use the Forgetful Spell on wizards on a large scale, the angry people will immediately overturn you from the position of minister!" The secretary was really shocked by Minister Fuji's whimsical idea. How could Yi Wangjikong use it casually? This is illegal! If it is used to deal with ordinary muggles, it would be fine. If they dare to use it against wizards, then wait and get out of office at any time!
"Tsk! Forget it, it's too late to say this now! Then tell me, think about how to remedy it now, right? Go and discuss it quickly, be sure to come up with a charter in the shortest time." Since the matter has reached this point, Forge also knows that it is unlikely to remedy it, so try to find a way to remedy it.
The key task now should be to think about how to remedy the measures. These reports from the Prophet Daily are too negative for the Ministry of Magic and Minister Foggy himself. He must find a way to reverse his image from these negative reports as soon as possible. This is the first thing to do now and the most urgent task! If the minister's rights were not abused, Foggy really wanted to directly order the Prophet Daily to be blocked! This damn newspaper has caused him a lot of trouble!
"Minister, if you look at it from another perspective, I think these reports are not all bad things for the Ministry of Magic to you?" The secretary thought about the report he had just seen, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind. He seemed to have grasped some key points and thought about the key to how to break the deadlock.
Thinking about the years, the Ministry of Magic has been having a heart-wrenching illness and has long wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Gringot Wizard Bank. Because the benefits are too amazing! The Gringot can almost be said to have monopolized the finance and economy of the entire wizard world. All deposits and withdrawals, as well as large transactions, are all taken over by the Gringot Wizard Bank. How much benefit should there be? Even over the years, the Ministry of Magic's financial revenue and expenditure have been handled by the fairies of the Gringot Bank!
All the ministers of the Ministry of Magic have thought of taking down Guling Pavilion, the only bank in the wizarding world. This idea is definitely not the first time! It is just that it is because of the fact that the fairy has always been strong and there is no suitable excuse, so this idea has been put on hold.
But now the situation is completely different!
Now, there is a huge opportunity in front of them! I believe that as long as it operates well, it may be a bit difficult to completely win the Guling Pavilion, but it is absolutely certain to intervene in and occupy a place. This is a god-given opportunity. The Ministry of Magic must take the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make those damn fairies look good, and we must not miss this opportunity.
"It's not all bad things? Then maybe there's a good thing? Tell me what you want." When Fuji heard that his secretary couldn't say it was all bad things, he suddenly became interested in listening. He had heard enough bad news today. Now, I want to see what kind of good news his secretary can bring to him?
"Minister, this is true. As long as we take the opportunity to put all the blame on the fairy, and then do this, this way..." The secretary leaned into the minister's ear and whispered something.
"Haha! Very good! That's it. I need to see everything you just said on the headlines of the Prophet Daily in tomorrow! Now, I will delegate this to you in full. You can find some staff to do it immediately. Why are you still standing there? Go now!"
After knowing the secretary's plan, Minister Fuji's expression finally turned from yin to sunny, and he laughed happily. For him, the secretary's idea was really good news, excellent news!
If this matter is done, he will never worry about someone who can shake the throne of minister beneath him.
As long as I can really intervene in the Guling Pavilion and get enough benefits, I believe that the wizards and families have the means to protect themselves. Perhaps, I can become the first Minister of Magic to seize the management of the Guling Pavilion wizard bank from the fairy? I guess there will be Merlin Medal? Ha! This is really great!
Thinking about the honor he was going to get through this opportunity, Foggy immediately left all the unhappiness behind him. Face is not too important. Anyway, face cannot be used as food, so if you lose it, just lose it. As long as you seize the opportunity and get enough benefits and political capital, what is the face of Foggy's loss once or twice? Now the bed bugs that are still jumping around in the newspapers are destined to disappoint them this time. Ha! Just a bunch of bed bugs, I want to come and spy on his position as Minister of Foggy? They are still a little tender!
