Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 142 Emergency Meeting of the Ministry of Magic

Pushing open the door of the Auror headquarters, Ethan was surprised to find that it was full of people.

Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic, Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation.

Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office, were all gathered in the Auror Headquarters to discuss something.

When they heard Ethan and Tonks push through the door, these people turned their heads in unison and looked at the door.

Seeing Ethan come in, Fudge hurriedly called Ethan over, and Dumbledore also smiled and nodded to Ethan.

Barty Crouch tilted his head to the other side arrogantly. He had always looked down on Ethan.

Because Ethan's entry into the Ministry of Magic was facilitated by Fudge, Barty Crouch always believed that Ethan was an incompetent person.

"Sirius Black escaped from prison! He escaped from Azkaban!" Fudge couldn't wait to say to Ethan as soon as Ethan came over.

"Ethan, Sirius Black was once a friend of Harry's parents, but he betrayed them and betrayed their whereabouts to a mysterious person." Dumbledore explained to Ethan about Sirius Black.

"And Sirius Black also killed his friend Peter Pettigrew, as well as 12 Muggles. In the end, Sirius Black was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban."

"Thank you for your explanation, Principal Dumbledore." Fudge swallowed and thanked Dumbledore.

Although Fudge had always been afraid of Dumbledore seizing power, when encountering such an emergency, the first thing he thought of was to ask Dumbledore for advice.

"So how did Sirius Black escape from Azkaban? Isn't that the most strict prison? Who should be held responsible for such a big mistake?"

Barty Crouch arrogantly asked several questions, each of which was directed at Fudge. Barty Crouch never missed any opportunity to target Fudge.

Ethan could clearly see the veins on Fudge's temple jumping and popping out, and his face instantly turned red. He didn't expect that Barty Crouch would actually attack in public here.

And for a moment, he couldn't find anything to say to refute, so he could only passively suppress his anger and remain silent.

"I think now is not the time to find out who is at fault, Mr. Crouch." Ethan stepped forward to relieve Fudge.

"Sirius Black, this crazy criminal, is still on the loose. The most important thing we should do now is to find a way to catch him, instead of blaming each other here!" Ethan said righteously.

A trace of anger flashed in Barty Crouch's eyes. "So what can you do? Mr. Ethan?" Barty Crouch gritted his teeth and said every word.

"Hurry up and tell me your strategy, so that everyone knows that you, the leader of the magic crisis response team who fell from the sky, are not worthy of your name!" Barty Crouch had no intention of giving anyone face, and he responded forcefully.

"The most important thing we should do now is to protect Harry Potter's safety!" Ethan stood up and said to everyone.

"What Sirius Black wants to do most when he escapes from prison is definitely to kill Harry Potter! To avenge his master Voldemort! So we must protect him as quickly as possible." Ethan said firmly.

Rufus Scrimgeour and Amelia Bones both nodded after hearing what Ethan said, and they also thought this was the best advice.

Dumbledore looked at Ethan with relief. He didn't care much about which side Ethan was on, and now Ethan was indeed fulfilling his duties as a Hogwarts professor and working hard to protect Harry.

In Dumbledore's opinion, the main person who can oppose Voldemort is his friend.

"I can send Aurors to protect Harry Potter." Rufus Scrimgeour stood up and volunteered to protect Harry Potter.

"I think it is very appropriate to send Mr. Ethan to protect Harry Potter one by one." Dumbledore put forward this opinion gently from the side.

"Yes, that should be the case." Fudge agreed with Dumbledore's opinion. "Mr. Potter very much needs the protection of strong people like Mr. Ethan." Fudge said.

"I am willing to protect Harry Potter. I will use my life to ensure that he will not be harmed," Ethan said seriously.

"This is the attitude we should have to fight against evil!" Fudge clapped a few times, and only Dumbledore cooperated with him.

Barty Crouch snorted coldly, turned his head, and did not comment on this.

"Then now one by one" Fudge stood up, straightened his clothes and said seriously.

"Send a team of Aurors to cooperate with Mr. Ethan to protect Harry Potter, while the rest of the Aurors will try their best to capture Sirius Black and post his wanted notice." Fudge wanted to say something else, but he was obviously hesitant. one time.

"In addition, I will authorize the Dementors to leave Azkaban and assist the Aurors in capturing Sirius Black. I hope we can capture Sirius Black before Hogwarts starts, otherwise we will have to let the Dementors Entered the campus.”

"This is inappropriate -", "How can this be done -" Rufus Scrimgeour and Amelia Bones unanimously objected to this opinion.

"Cornelly, I sincerely hope you can reconsider this opinion." Dumbledore said sincerely to Fudge.

"It's settled!" Fudge was unexpectedly tough on this matter. He didn't even intend to give other people present a chance to discuss it, so he settled the matter.

"I think everyone can take action now." Fudge said seriously.

Auror headquarters fell into a brief silence. The first person to stand up was Rufus Scrimgeour.

"I'm going to arrange the Aurors," Rufus Scrimgeour said and left the Auror headquarters.

Amelia Bones and Barty Crouch also left behind Rufus Scrimgeour.

Ethan was a little surprised why Barty Crouch didn't object to Fudge's decision, but he quickly figured it out.

Barty Crouch wished that the dementors sent by Fudge would cause something, so that he would have a reason to target Fudge.

Ethan and Dumbledore then left.

"Ethan, can we talk?" Dumbledore said kindly to Ethan.

"No problem" Ethan promised Dumbledore and went to the corner of the corridor with him.

"Ethan, I have been searching for and understanding the traces of Voldemort during this period. I have traveled to many places, but unfortunately I still found nothing." At this point, Dumbledore's mood became a little low.

"But I am almost certain that Voldemort must have made more than one Horcrux like that diary." Dumbledore said seriously.

"Judging from the clues I have traced, Voldemort seems to be slowly losing his mind over time. He seems to be becoming less and less human one by one." Dumbledore crossed his arms.

"This means that the damage to his soul was beyond what we would call ordinary evil, and possibly more than once," Dumbledore said.

"So Ethan, if you get any clues about any Horcrux, you must tell me as soon as possible. This is very important." Dumbledore said seriously.

"I will definitely do that," Ethan answered Dumbledore equally seriously.

"Thank you, Ethan, thank you." Dumbledore thanked Ethan sincerely.

"One more thing, Ethan, can you teach him some self-protection methods while protecting Harry? I know you have many powerful tricks." Dumbledore requested.

"I will try my best" Ethan agreed to Dumbledore's request.
