"Isn't it?" Akinbad pressed forward step by step with a dignified look, "Without his help, how could you, a fourth-grade wizard, compete with the other three senior students on the same stage? , but still occupy a huge advantage?!"
"Babajid, I think your judgment is very irrational! And this matter should not be entangled now. We can discuss it after we go back. You'd better score Hermione fairly and objectively now!" Deng Finally, Bullido couldn't help shouting out loudly, he already knew that it was not good to make a big deal happen.
However, it was too late, because another voice had already inserted forcefully.
"I don't think anyone should go back today. Let's clarify the matter here in front of everyone!" Harry floated down from the kelpie's back, looking coldly at the expression on his face. Proud Akinbad.
"You said I helped Hermione cheat, right? Then show me the evidence!!"
finished...
Dumbledore had closed his eyes now.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
In other words, Harry now finally understands why just one Voldemort can make the British wizarding world a mess.
Because this shitty place is actually dominated by politicians, especially a group of dicky Western politicians. This group of people don't do their business every day, so they just know how to steal holes like loach.
Harry set up a trap before, so Cornelius Fudge couldn't wait to drill in. He was worried that he was not strong enough, so he even pulled Akinbad from the International Federation of Wizards, and the two clowns formed a team to show their eyes .
Okay, I'll see what evidence you can come up with~
"Evidence? Isn't it obvious that you helped Hermione Granger cheat?" Aginbad looked around and found that Fudge was still determined, so he also bit the bullet and continued, "You He is the referee of this match, so he must know the procedure of the match in detail, and it is normal to disclose this information to Hermione Granger in advance!"
"Is that so?" Harry shook his head noncommittally, and turned to look at the three principals, "As far as I know, the three principals discussed the procedure of the Triwizard Tournament with the staff of the Ministry of Magic. During this period, no one let me know any news... Is it supposed to be like this?"
"Of course we won't take the initiative to disclose such information," Karkaroff was the first to express his opinion. "What's more, we don't know many of the arrangements."
"That's right." Immediately afterwards, Madam Maxim also nodded.
"Harry..."
"I don't think so. In addition to the three principals, his nephew and Ludo Bagman were also in charge of the game before." Harry ignored Old Deng who wanted to speak, but raised his finger To Fudge, "We can definitely arrest those two dereliction of duty guys now, pour some veritaserum and ask them carefully... have they leaked information to me?"
"Harry Granger, what we need now is you to take the initiative to explain your problems!" Fudge scolded coldly, "Don't just mention those irrelevant people!!"
Capture Rufus and Ludo and give him Veritaserum?
Of course, this is absolutely impossible. Wouldn't it be revealed all of a sudden?
So Fudge could only bite Harry firmly, and he was sure that he would be able to bite off a piece of flesh from this kid today, because he had already mastered a key hole card!
For Harry, Fudge was now more than simply resentful.
Since Harry's strong rise, the British Ministry of Magic has suffered a devastating blow. Not only has its reputation been discredited, but it has also lost a lot of public opinion and support.
Today, almost every now and then, radicals will come to the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, throwing stink bombs and dung bombs to vent their anger; and Fudge himself will receive all kinds of curse letters and shouting letters at every turn, through various channels. The voice that asked him to step down immediately became even more clamorous.
And a few months ago, in order to calm down the incident at the opening dinner, he had to deal with his most beloved nephew himself!
It can be said that in so many midnight dreams, Fudge even couldn't help his impulse again and again, wanting to leave the mysterious man aside for a while, and deal with this damn Harry Potter directly!
But...he can't.
Leaving aside the power that Harry has now, even Dumbledore's level, Fudge can't pass.
Although the other party gave him a hand when the Ministry of Magic building was about to fall, Fudge didn't show any gratitude for it, because it made him more deeply aware of what a terrible threat Dumbledore was!
Sure enough, as a minister, he picks out the leftovers, and he can take them away anytime he wants, and he never takes himself seriously.
So Fudge made up his mind to fight a turnaround today. For this reason, he even inquired about an important news through various channels, and at the same time contacted Babajid Akinbad at a great cost-this person who has always been with Dumbledore is the vice-president of the International Federation of Wizards who is at odds with each other.
As the vice president, Dumbledore is the president; and as the Minister of Magic, Dumbledore is also the mountain... With this connection, Aginbad will definitely be willing to help him of.
So at this moment, this is no longer the Black Lake stadium, but his home field where Cornelius Fudge counterattacked...
"Hey, why aren't you talking?"
A question full of sarcasm interrupted Fudge's imaginings. He looked up, only to find Harry looking at him expressionlessly.
"I said...why should I say it?" Recalling what happened just now, Fudge stared back, not to be outdone, "Now I want you to explain your own problems!"
"It's just an unwarranted accusation, what can I say?" Harry shook his head disdainfully, "The three principals all said no, and you don't want to go to those two guys and say that I cheated on Hermione?" Yes, can you produce substantive evidence?"
"Do you dare to say that after you got the golden egg, you didn't tell her how to unlock the secret?" Aginbad asked again at this time, "There is a mermaid's voice in the golden egg, and it can only be put under water. Only then can you hear clearly... You must have told her something like this that ordinary little wizards would not know!"
"Okay, then I'll give you a good massage." Harry cast a loud curse, covering the entire Black Lake directly, "Hogwarts students present, if anyone can testify for me, please shout, come on At the end of a game, those who left the venue with me, did anyone see me open the golden egg?"
"I haven't seen it, Harry has never opened a golden egg!", "Yes, we followed him and Hermione all the way back to the eagle courtyard lounge. If you don't accept it, you can test it with veritaserum!"
Fred and George in the auditorium immediately used loud curses to support Harry from afar.
"In the Eagle Court lounge, we were all there that day!", "We didn't hear the sound of it for the first time until Hermione opened the golden egg!"
After the Weasley brothers, Ravenclaw's students Terry Boot and Michael Corner also started to help defend, they all remembered what happened that day... Hermione was the first in front of everyone. Opening the golden egg for the first time, Luna immediately recognized the mermaid language.
And Harry had never been in contact with the golden egg before, nor had he heard the voice inside the golden egg, so there was no chance for him to cheat!
But for Akinbad, this situation is already a rare loophole.
"Hmph, how dare you say you didn't cheat?" He turned to Hermione triumphantly, as if he regained some confidence in his heart, "Even without Harry Granger's assistance, wouldn't you also rely on the help of others?" Did you just solve the riddle?!"
However, he didn't realize that after he finished saying this, almost everyone on the scene changed their eyes as if they were looking at idiots...
The same goes for Cornelius Fudge, who is in collusion with him~
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"So that's how it is. The vice president actually defines cheating like this. It seems that I cheated too."
After Akinbad uttered nonsense, Cedric, who was at the scene, was the first to stand up and choose to speak up for Harry.
"I was also reminded by others that I realized that the voice in the golden egg is mermaid language; not only that, but in the first match, someone told me in advance that I would deal with the fire dragon... If you think this is cheating, you can Just cancel my grades!"
Cedric has always been a good boy who is upright and values his friends. At this moment, in order to help Harry share the pressure, he even did not hesitate to expose his "cheating" behavior.
And his behavior will undoubtedly infect other people on the scene.
"That's right, it's the same on my side." After getting approval from her principal, Fu Rong also took the initiative to admit, "Madam Maxim helped me in both games, she told me about the fire dragon, mermaid She also helped me find out the information."
"I also didn't pass the competition by myself." Although Krum and Hahe were not familiar with each other, he also helped in a low voice.
As for what he didn't finish, Karkaroff himself added: "I was the one who saw the arrival of the fire dragon, and then told Viktor that Durmstrang's students are also here this time. What helped him was that those dumb boys took too long to figure out the answer to the golden egg."
"You...you?!" Akinbad looked at the crowd in disbelief, and he was suddenly in endless astonishment.
He finally realized that he had made a huge mistake!
Harry Granger... This kid can't be messed with at all!
Akinbad is a wizard born in Africa. He doesn't know much about England and Europe, so he will take it for granted that private cheating like the Triwizard Tournament cannot be brought up on the table, but I didn't expect this group of people to blew themselves up so happily.
And what he also didn't expect was Harry's reputation, touching this kid was like stabbing a giant hornet's nest, even the principals of the other two schools in Europe would join forces to sting him!
"Mr. Akinbad, I heard that you are a wizard who graduated from Ouagadou. Your school was also one of the members who participated in the Magic School Potions Championship?" Harry also said lightly at this time, "I am very happy." Curious, when you Waggadu students used to participate in the competition, did you have to rely on yourself to obtain all the potion formulas and all the medicinal materials, and you must not seek any help? If you dare to nod, then I admit that Hermione is It’s okay to cheat~”
"This..." Akinbad was speechless for a while, he definitely didn't dare to point his head, because Hogwarts was also one of the four schools participating in the Potions Tournament.
Since Harry Granger dared to mention this, it means that he knows everything about it!
"Look, I'm out of words~" Harry shrugged, and the expression on his face became a bit more playful, "So, whether it's the Triwizard Tournament or the Potions Tournament, there is actually this kind of cheating, And it's been like this for hundreds of years. Isn't it about who's cheating skills are better in inter-school competitions like this?"
Boom~
Harry's final summary caused a lot of laughter from all the students, especially the Weasley brothers, who felt the same way and laughed with tears.
That's right, isn't this Triwizard Tournament just about cheating to become king~
From the time the Goblet of Fire arrived at Hogwarts, it was the time when the students showed their talents. Cheating methods like theirs were not very good, and they couldn't even break through the age limit.
Although Hermione did not participate voluntarily, someone could put her name into the Goblet of Fire, which is supposed to be a kind of cheating.
So why didn't the Ministry of Magic look into that, could it...or did they just not dare?
The laughter at the scene intensified, and all the students were whispering to each other and pointing at Akinbad, as if this was not a scene of cheating and identification, but a circus pen performed by clowns.
In sharp contrast to all the laughter, it was Fudge and Akinbad, a pair of high-ranking officials, whose faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
Really, Harry thought they should stop now, if they were even remotely intelligent.
If they were willing to stop here, the current situation would be an oolong at most, and it would be over with a smile.
When waiting for the follow-up, Harry asked them to apologize sincerely, pay more damage to their reputation, and declare that it would be fine if they suffered more blows.
This was actually his original purpose, to use the opportunity of the competition to let everyone know that Fudge was obviously framing him this time, which caused the opponent's reputation to decline again until he completely lost public opinion.
It doesn't really matter if there is one more Akinbad, anyway, Harry's plan is very fault-tolerant, and at worst, he will step on the International Federation of Wizards and warn them not to be so special like an appendix, jumping out and inflaming at every turn.
Dumbledore could actually see at this moment that Harry was so confident in facing the gang, it was obvious that he had been prepared for a long time.
Maybe he did all the breaking news in "The Quibbler" on purpose, just to lure the idiot Fudge to take the bait.
So Lao Deng didn't plan to take care of these crap things this time, and he was indeed a little annoyed by Fu Ji, a pig teammate.
Cornelius Fudge really dared to bypass himself and collude with Babajid in secret!
For a moment, Old Deng even wanted to let Harry beat the Ministry of Magic to the ground, and then replace him with an obedient... er, he meant a slightly smarter minister.
So... should it be Arthur, or Kingsley, but definitely not Scrimgeour.
Of course, the reason why I didn't choose Scrimgeour was definitely not because the other party was too hot-tempered and had a political disagreement with me, but because he simply couldn't play Harry, a cunning little fox... Ugh!
Dumbledore, who was thinking secretly in his heart, suddenly woke up. He managed to gather his composure, and finally let out a long sigh.
so close!
In short, he found that he still can't think about these things too much, because if he really doesn't pay attention, he may fall into it...
"Hey, why don't you talk again?" Harry looked at the two clowns in front of him contemptuously, "If there is really no evidence, then stop holding on, okay? Just admit that you are framing me, so as not to Waste of everyone's time~"
"Who... who said I have no evidence? I'll show you right now!" Harry's attitude seemed to have finally stimulated Fudge, and he suddenly roared out of control, and at the same time waved his hand vigorously behind him.
"Give him medicine, and then bring him over to me!!"
This is an opportunity that came with great difficulty, and this bastard must be trampled down here!
Fudge was already a little dazed at the moment, and he called out to a group of dog legs around him, all of them were holding thick iron chains... Harry recognized that those were the dragon trainers who used to bind them. Hold the shackles of the dragon.
Only now, they are chained to the limbs and neck of a half-blood giant...
It's Hagrid.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Cornelius Fudge sent someone to capture Hagrid!
At this moment, the half-blood giant looked dull and staggered, and was being forcibly dragged in front of the crowd by several Aurors with chains.
There were several scars caused by the curse on his body. Obviously, he had resisted before, but in the end he was still plotted by someone.
And from what Fudge said just now, he seems to have been drugged? !
"Ruber..." Upon seeing this, Madam Maxim covered her mouth in disbelief.
After Hagrid appeared, Hermione, Luna, Dumbledore... almost everyone in Hogwarts changed their faces at the same time.
Harry's eyes were even more ferocious at this moment. On his clenched fists, the protruding veins were trembling non-stop.
"The Hogwarts gamekeeper and professor of protection of magical animals, Rubeus Hagrid, seems to have an unusually close relationship with Harry Potter on weekdays..."
After getting Hagrid here, Fudge finally showed a smug smile on his face: "He can definitely tell everyone whether Harry Potter helped Hermione Granger cheat in the previous game! At the same time, Maybe there are some other interesting secrets."
"Fudge, Hagrid has nothing to do with the Triwizard Tournament!" Dumbledore asked Fudge sullenly, "Why did you arrest him?!"
"Minister Fudge, I also think you are a bit too much. This Mr. Hagrid is a half-blood giant. You know, half-humans like him are protected by special laws..."
At this time, Aginbad had clearly seen the situation, and while vaguely reminding Fudge, he immediately found an excuse to change the direction of the wind.
However, Fudge has already ignored it.
"But if he's a criminal himself, it's not illegal for me to temporarily control him like this!" Fudge glared back at Aginbad, he no longer needed to be on the same side with this idiot.
Moreover, he was very angry with Akinbad.
If it wasn't for this pig teammate who took the money but couldn't do anything, and couldn't pry useful information from that crazy girl's mind, why would he go directly to the school to arrest another insider? !
