Chapter 118 Fudge Can't Lose Hogwarts

That day, he was in the car directing his men to arrest the illegal football gambling stall hidden in Temple Street. Three plainclothes men quietly approached the stall while reaching for the handcuffs on their waists.

At the same time, the vendors at the nearby stalls saw that they were police officers, but mistakenly thought they were here to arrest his DVD stall that was secretly selling drugs, and guessed that the three plainclothes officers were pulling out the pistols from their waists.

Rather than being pointed at by three guns, it would be better to get rid of the three police officers first. The vendor pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at the three plainclothes officers.

Chen Bin's angle just happened to see the moment he pulled out the gun, and he used the headset to notify the three people to be careful.

Then...

One of the plainclothes officers was the fighting champion of the police force, and he easily subdued the armed robber with his bare hands.

Well, Chen Bin admitted that this case was different from the current situation.

(づ￣3￣)づ╭～

But after this incident, Chen Bin would force himself to be calm every time he took action, and give orders as soon as possible when an accident occurred, even if the order was wrong, it was better than being dazed.

"Remus, summon Fudge's wand with all your strength!"

"Sirius, pull McGonagall and Fudge in!"

"Attention, both of you! McGonagall is not wearing headphones, I can't contact her. So, you have to say whatever I call you next."

After Chen Bin finished each order, the two of them were stunned for a moment and immediately executed it.

"Accio-wand." Lupin summoned the wand in Fudge's hand to his hand, which was considered an alternative disarming spell.

Even if Fudge really silently cast the armor spell, and there was McGonagall as a meat shield, as long as Fudge's magic power was two or three times weaker than Lupin's, it would definitely work.

Sirius then pulled McGonagall and Fudge into the room.

Lupin followed the instructions and said, "Professor McGonagall, this is the Minister's wand. Please keep this important evidence for me. It contains the record of the Minister's brave fight against the evil Death Eaters."

McGonagall took the wand in a daze, and had not yet recovered from the failure of the plan.

Sirius stepped forward to shake hands with Fudge and said enthusiastically, "Thank you very much, Minister, for clearing my name and killing the despicable person who framed me."

Then, Sirius and Lupin applauded at the same time, and signaled Harry and the other two to applaud together with their eyes.

Fudge recovered from the applause and saw clearly that the fat man who was thrown to the ground and died was the owner of the Order of Merlin, First Class - Peter Pettigrew, who had died twelve years ago.

Although Fudge's combat power was not high, his brain was not stupid at all. He quickly realized that this was a trap.

No, it was not a trap originally, but he messed it up!

He shouldn't have looked at what McGonagall called the "Hogwarts Defense Map" and believed that she saw Sirius before he had read the content clearly.

He shouldn't have listened to what McGonagall said, saying that there were already two professors with outstanding combat power around the fugitive, and three young wizards were watching over him, so there was no need to bring Dementors with him. This would only make us look too cowardly.

He shouldn't have been confused when he saw Harry's name next to Sirius, and then followed McGonagall here without thinking.

The reality is that these men of Dumbledore already knew that Black was not guilty at all, and even tied up the real murderer, seemingly intending to hand him over to the Ministry of Magic.

And what did he do? He killed the real murderer as soon as he met him!

If this is not a trap, what is it? Is he too cowardly and killed the real murderer?

Of course not.

"No need to thank me. This is what I should do." Fudge looked around the room with dignity, then patted Sirius on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Black, I have wronged you for so many years. Now it is obvious that this corpse is the murderer of that case, and you are innocent. When I return to the outside, I will immediately announce this to the entire wizarding world."

"Thank you so much." Sirius said flattering words with a fake smile, which made McGonagall and Harry stunned.

Then, under the leadership of Fudge and McGonagall, Hermione and Harry supported Ron, Sirius used the levitation spell to take Snape away, and Lupin used the same method to take the fat man's body, and the group returned to the castle along the tunnel.

However, before Hermione left, she glanced at the wall suspiciously.

Chen Bin shuddered. "Is a woman's sixth sense really that accurate?"

The hidden space where Chen Bin was hiding happened to be behind the wall that Hermione was looking at. Although the interior was soundproofed, she could blow up the wall without magic reinforcement with a shattering spell. A young professor was sitting inside, monitoring dozens of mirrors and several professional cameras.

"Remus doesn't need to drink the Polyjuice Potion to turn into a werewolf when he gets out of the cave. You can just take the group to find Dumbledore."

"Sirius, remind McGonagall to give Fudge's wand to Dumbledore for safekeeping. They should also keep an eye on Fudge and not let him escape suddenly, and send him to Dumbledore."

After Chen Bin gave the last hint, he immediately collected the video evidence in the hidden room and then communicated with Dumbledore via text message.

Chen Bin: ...That's it, Fudge killed Pettigrew. Surprised or not, how did it end?

Principal: ...

Chen Bin: Don't just type ellipsis, tell me, how did it end? It was you who decided to let Fudge in.

Principal: We must control Fudge.

Chen Bin: ...I didn't expect you to say that. I've already said that you are the thief of fate. You even tampered with my bones. Do you want to use Hermione's time-turner to save Pettigrew?

Chen Bin thought Dumbledore would think for a while and weigh the pros and cons, but he received a reply from Dumbledore in less than three seconds after sending the text message: "No."

The two of them discussed for a while and finally came up with a solution.

Chen Bin has always been on good terms with the Ministry of Magic, especially in handling the relationship between the Namar family, the pure-blood nobles and Fudge.

However, the Minister of Magic is really not important at all in peacetime, and the authority of the Minister can only be reflected in wartime. The timid Fudge is not good at fighting and military command, and only has achievements in administration and economy.

The authority of the Ministry of Magic is not very high, because most of the funds also come from taxes from pure-blood families, even if Hogwarts receives funding from the Ministry of Magic, it can ignore it.

That's right, Hogwarts does not belong to the Ministry of Magic, nor is it a public school. It is a private school belonging to the four founders.

When Hogwarts was founded, the administrative body of the magic world was still the Wizards' Council. It was not until the implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy required more organized management that the Ministry of Magic replaced the functions of the Wizards' Council in 1707, and the Wizengamot was merged into the Supreme Court under the Ministry of Magic.

In terms of history and legal responsibility, Hogwarts is the private property of the four founders, and a board of directors similar to a legal person system was established, which has personal will like natural persons - the board of directors' resolution.

The modern board of directors has the obligation to sponsor Hogwarts, but it needs to develop in the direction set by the four founders.

The school directors can interfere with the operation of Hogwarts within a reasonable range, and they can unite to represent the will of the four founders.

Hogwarts is the private property of the four founders, but their children have no right to inherit it, and its ownership belongs to the board of directors.

However, the school directors have no right to sell it, and administration and management belong to the functions of the principal.

For nearly a thousand years, British wizards have also inherited the tradition of basic magic from Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic, which was established later, has long allocated funds to subsidize Hogwarts for the development of wizard children in the whole society.

After sorting out this relationship, Chen Bin came to a conclusion that hurt Minister Fudge very much - the Ministry of Magic needs Hogwarts; Hogwarts does not need the Ministry of Magic.

If Hogwarts is threatened with funding, the board of directors can stop recruiting students from the whole society and instead recruit specific children based on the limited funding of the directors.

In this way, the Ministry of Magic has no ability to establish another public school that is no worse than Hogwarts. Residents will still be more accepting of returning to a purely private Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic cannot control what ideas private schools have instilled in young wizards.

Minister Fudge cannot turn it into a public school at all. This is like seizing Malfoy Manor or Namar Castle by force. War will break out - who gives the Ministry of Magic the courage to infringe on the property of pure-blood families?

Like the fifth grade, parachuting in an Umbridge to control the operation rights? Chen Bin can only sneer at this! If the White Devil gets serious, he can declare it a family-style teaching at any time, that is, a private school, and all those who are not appointed by the board of directors and the principal must get out of Hogwarts.

Use an administrative order to prohibit Hogwarts from operating? This is the internal teaching of the Hogwarts family. At most, it is regarded as teaching the children of neighbors together. Can the Ministry of Magic control the internal affairs of the ancient family?

In a word, Hogwarts can ignore Fudge, but Fudge cannot lose Hogwarts.

With this guarantee, Chen Bin, this bitch, can become unscrupulous. At worst, the Nama family will replace the Ministry of Magic's education funding.
