Hogwarts Asylum

"Report? What report?" Rufus didn't react for a moment.

"Why did you come in without a report?" Fudge was so angry that he knocked on his desk. He really hates iron. Although his nephew is very obedient and does whatever he is told, he has no political acumen. When you come to the minister's office, do you really think that others won't gossip?

"Next time, don't just come to the minister's office without a report, Rufus," Fudge said with some sincerity. "My transfer to the assistant minister's office is gold-plated. After a few years, you can go to other offices to become deputy directors." , or even the director, we have to try our best to avoid suspicion, do you understand to avoid suspicion?"

Fudge said the bastard words nonchalantly. There were no outsiders in the minister's office anyway. Rufus must be taught nothing less, otherwise his nephew would sooner or later become a breach for others to use to attack him.

Rufus reacted, patted his chest and said, "I know how to avoid suspicion, uncle... er, minister."

"Alas -" Fudge sighed deeply, doubting whether there was something wrong with his brain or whether his younger brother had cast the Imperius Curse. "So what's the matter? Don't tell me, you are here You are just chatting with me, in that case, prepare to go to the Centaur Liaison Office tomorrow."

"I didn't come here for nothing, Minister, this is it."

Rufus hurriedly took out a golden envelope from his arms and handed it to Fudge's desk with both hands.

"I saw that you were reviewing documents, and I wanted to wait until you were finished."

Fudge picked up the envelope. There was a delicate gold filigree pattern on the envelope. A quick touch revealed that this envelope alone must be worth a lot of money.It's just a little strange that there is no signature on the envelope, nor is there a recipient written on it.

Turning to the back, Fudge's expression suddenly changed when he saw the black wax seal and the seal on it.

He asked anxiously: "Who asked you to give me this letter?"

Rufus was a little shy, not like a Gryffindor wizard at all.

"Say!" Fudge slammed the table.

Seeing that his uncle looked a little angry, Rufus hurriedly said: "It's... it's a girl."

After hearing this, Fudge's mind flashed with countless candidates, all of whom were his political opponents. He quickly calmed down and thought about whether he had just randomly found a stranger to deliver the message, or who was planning to use his own daughter to bribe his nephew.

"Did you collect something?!" Fudge lowered his voice, fearing that it would be heard outside the office. All the doors in the Ministry of Magic were of average quality and the sound insulation effect was extremely poor.

"I didn't take any money! I swear! I always remember your teachings and I will never take anyone's money." Rufus shook his head in denial.

As long as the money was confiscated, Fudge was a little relieved, but the latter possibility was not ruled out. He asked: "Then why do you help her deliver the letter! Who is she? Which girl is she from?"

"It's Betty, Betty Braithwaite. She works as a reporter at the Daily Prophet. I checked and she's not from one of those pure-blood families, so I..." Rufus clasped his hands together and circled his thumbs. It was very awkward to go around.

"What's wrong with you? Speak quickly and completely! Stop whining!"

"I'm pursuing her!" Rufus said with his eyes closed. "She said she would date me as long as she sent this letter."

"Huh -" Fudge finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had one last question, "How did you and the girl named Betty meet?"

"I won a lottery before, and I met Betty when I went to redeem the prize. She was the reporter responsible for interviewing me." Rufus introduced enthusiastically. He had already begun to imagine the scene of his date with Betty. It must be very exciting. Betty So hot!

"Huh? Won the lottery?" Fudge was relieved again. Damn it, this is what those pure-blood families are good at bribing politicians!

"It was a contest held by the Daily Prophet before about the next Minister of Magic." Rufus said nonchalantly. Although his uncle always scolded him for having no political acumen, he still knew a lot of things. "I It’s ten galleons, that’s all my net worth, I have full confidence in the minister!”

Rufus' net worth at that time was actually one hundred galleons, and he had ninety percent of it on Barty Crouch, but he did not dare to tell it for fear of being beaten.

Rufus was grateful countless times that he had bet ten galleons in order to support his uncle at the Ministry of Magic. Although he did not make any money on that bet, he did not lose money either. Otherwise, he would have been heartbroken.

Fudge nodded. If it was a ministerial candidate contest, then there should be no problem. His political opponents would have no chance of tampering with it, unless they were members of the Conservative Party, but they didn't have to deliver letters in this way. Everyone would be alone. If you have time, you can say anything slowly.

Alas, the naive nephew was fascinated by the female reporter. He probably couldn't ask anything, let alone find the source of the letter. He didn't believe that the letter was written by the female reporter.

After finally confirming that no one except the female reporter and Rufus had seen the letter, Fudge waved Rufus to leave.

Before leaving, Rufus heard his uncle say: "Next time you come in and talk about business, don't worry about what I'm doing."

"Okay, Minister, I understand."

After Rufus left, Fudge picked up a knife and carefully cut along the seal without damaging the wax seal at all.

The reason why Fudge's expression suddenly changed just now was mainly because of the seal on the wax seal, which was a triangle divided into two halves by a vertical line with a circle embedded inside.

Rufus was young and knew little, so it was normal for him to not react when he saw this symbol, but no senior official like Fudge would not recognize this symbol.

This is the symbol of the famous Gellert Grindelwald!

The war started by that brutal thug was countless times larger than that of the mysterious man!

If it hadn't been for the war that swept the world and barely affected the UK, how could there be no news about Grindelwald in the British wizarding world now? Ordinary wizards can only know about Grindelwald through Dumbledore's introduction on the Chocolate Frog card. .

Taking out the parchment from the envelope, a strange fragrance hit my nose. It is difficult to describe what it smells like, but there is no doubt that anyone who smells it will think that this letter is from someone with a noble background. hand.

Fudge calmed down and unfolded the parchment.

"Hello, Mr. Kang, guess who I am?"

The first sentence at the beginning made Fudge choke up. The person who wrote this letter must have a very bad character.

"My surname is not Kang, my surname is Fudge." Fudge murmured and continued to read the letter.
