Hogwarts Asylum

77. Scamander smuggled werewolves?



In the minister's office, after flipping through several documents and reports, he left the report from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to read slowly. After putting the rest together, he pressed a button on the desktop. It was time to add some points to the assistants. It's a burden.

After a while, a young man knocked on the door and came in.

"Minister, do you have any orders?" The young man bent slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

"These," although he was confused as to why it was not his nephew who came in, Fudge still pointed to the pile of trivial things on the table and said, "You can take them for review. The only principle is - drag."

"Yes, Minister." The young man lowered his head and picked up the document, "Thank you for your hard work."

After the young man left, Fudge casually took out one of the remaining documents. When he opened the document, he found another headache for Fudge. This was an application report for a large-scale search of illegal items. The report was written by the Conservative Party in Magical Law. One of the few supporters of the Executive Department - Arthur Weasley.

Since last year, Weasley had been submitting similar application reports repeatedly, but every time Fudge came up with some random excuse and sent them back.

Can Fudge not understand what Weasley is planning? Who doesn't know that those pure-blood families are the ones with the most illegal items, but aren't they all relatives?He didn't know where Weasley came from so much resentment. He thought about having his relatives' houses confiscated every day. Why did he hate other pure-blood families so much?

And Weasley doesn't know the danger, right?Fudge even suspected that Weasley was the one who was pushed out to block the gun.

It's a pity that although Weasley is a supporter of the Conservative Party, he is not Fudge's friend. Otherwise, although Fudge still wouldn't pass the application, he would at least point out the mystery to him.

However, this matter should indeed be considered. Every time there is a search related to those pure-blood families, the Ministry of Magic can gain a lot. People from pure-blood families know how to spend money and eliminate disasters. It just so happens that the Ministry is in urgent need now. There is a lack of funds, so the choice of this leader needs to be carefully considered.

Weasley is not incompetent, but usually this kind of leader offends people the most. It really puts the pure-blood family into a panic. Not to mention that he is in danger, even his family will suffer.

Although Weasley was not one of his own, he was still an ally. Fudge didn't want anything to happen to his few comrades in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement just yet, at least until Fudge's own people were involved.

[The procedure is not qualified and will not be passed]

Fudge looked at his handwriting and nodded with satisfaction. What a good excuse. Let Weasley guess. Anyway, there is no standard procedure stipulated by the Ministry of Magic. As long as Fudge doesn't agree, Weasley will never pass.

As for taking care of the sentiments of fellow party members, forget it. There are so many conservative members in the Ministry of Magic, so there is no way they can take care of them. It would be an act of kindness to hand over relatively lucrative positions to them.

In the office of the Assistant Minister of Magic, several young people were chatting and looking through reports.

"Short nose, do you have to drag all these documents with you? We will be scolded for being a vegetarian." A young man complained.

Short Nose is the young man who just went to see Fudge. His real name is Courtney Cobot. He comes from a wizarding family. The reason why he is called Short Nose is because Courtney is of French descent, and Courtney is from a family of wizards. Short nose means short nose in French, but some people call him short nose as an endearment, while others call him a man with a mocking sense.

Courtney is 26 years old this year. After graduating from Ravenclaw, he struggled for several years before reaching the position of Assistant Minister. He likes this job very much. It can bring him an unparalleled sense of accomplishment and is far away from magic. The closest person to minister, what a wonderful position.

Courtney distributed the documents he had just brought back from the minister's office to everyone and said, "Stop complaining. If we have to trouble the minister with every trivial matter, what use are we?"

After handing out the documents, Courtney clapped his hands, looked at the people in the office who were generally younger than him and said: "Okay, boys, just a few copies per person, we can finish it in the morning. The minister's documents are bigger than ours." There are more here.”

"Alas -" There was a sigh in the office. Everyone wanted to do something more exciting, such as watching the training of Aurors and strikers.

Returning to his seat, Courtney picked up a document and opened it. It was a report on dangerous creature smugglers. While he was reading it, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked to the seat next to him: "Rufus, Why didn’t you go to the minister’s office just now?”

"Forget it, Short Nose," Rufus lay on the table without looking at the documents distributed to him, "I bet 90 Galleons on Crouch becoming minister, but Uncle... cough, Found out by Minister Fudge.”

A trace of jealousy flashed in Courtney's eyes, but he quickly restrained himself: "That's really... you'd better find a chance to apologize to the minister. After all, you are uncle and nephew."

Courtney bit the word 'uncle and nephew' very hard, but Rufus didn't seem to hear it: "Besides, the minister doesn't like me to go to him anyway. He said..."

Rufus stopped suddenly. What he said to his uncle was not suitable to be said in public.

Courtney stopped and asked, "What did the minister say?"

"No, it's nothing, hehehe." Rufus gave Courtney a "you know" look, and then his eyes stayed on the document in Courtney's hand, "Oh my God, how could anyone accuse Newt S. Scamander smuggles magical creatures? Don't they know that Mr. Scamander applies to the ministry for a protected area every two days? Mr. Scamander can hardly live in the magical creatures he raises."

Courtney quickly looked back at the document in his hand. The title clearly read [Detailed report on Newt Scamander's illegal purchase of a large number of smuggled dangerous creatures]. Below was a list of magical creatures, including fire dragons, ground-destroying bats, and sacs. Poison leopards, etc., and even werewolves, are all xxxx and xxxxx level dangerous creatures.

Courtney flicked the document and said: "Yeah, the people in the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures are really crazy. Forget about fire dragons and poisonous horned magical creatures that are not very intelligent, smuggling werewolves? How is it possible? They are not He is always in a violent werewolf state, but he is still a human being.

Unless they sell themselves to work, I heard that werewolves are very strong and have good physical strength, but who would be willing to spend money to hire dangerous werewolves? Magic is much easier to use. "

"Let me see," Rufus reached out and flipped through the documents in Courtney's hand a few times, without thinking about whether it was polite or not. "The person who wrote the report is - Cecil Lee, oh, it's him, That’s normal. I heard that guy has been biting people recently and wants to get some money from the people he bites. I’m really crazy about money.”

"Werewolf hunting unit?" Courtney asked casually, seemingly not paying attention to Rufus' actions.

"Yes, that guy is now the leader of the werewolf hunting force, but his salary as a leader is much lower than that of his subordinates, which makes him very embarrassed."

Rufus casually talked about gossip. As the nephew of the Minister of Magic, Rufus always had more sources of information than others.

"So he has been relying on a group of Aurors and strikers behind him recently to do messy things without fear of offending people. I heard that even his former colleagues suffered disaster. The one who has retired, what is his name... Yes, his name is Lyle Lupin, and I heard that Lyle Lupine was harassed many times by Cecil Lee."
