The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 142: skipping tom

"This is the latest reform of the Ministry of Magic, replacing the owls that deliver letters with this kind of paper airplane," Fudge proudly showed off his achievements to Dumbledore, "The previous group of owls made bird droppings everywhere in the Ministry of Magic , not anymore..."

He opened the paper airplane and read the message on it. After he finished reading this passage, he froze in place. The words on the paper airplane gave Fudge a feeling of being sapped.

"What's the matter?" Dumbledore saw that Fudge's condition was not right, and asked him very intimately.

"Peter Pettigrew ran away..." Fudge answered mechanically with blank eyes.

Dumbledore:  …

He patted Fudge on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, and then left silently.

Dumbledore felt guilty for Fudge. Because he is very clear about this plan, and it can even be said that he has put a lot of effort into it.

As the Minister of Magic, Fudge has made small moves in the past few years, but he has not made any major mistakes, but he is planning to overthrow him... This makes Dumbledore a little uncomfortable.

But it's just uncomfortable!

Because Dumbledore had to use a phrase he hated so much: For the greater good. Between Fudge and Voldemort, Dumbledore chose Voldemort without hesitation. In order to destroy Voldemort, Dumbledore could even sacrifice himself, so what's the point of sacrificing a Fudge?

In order to destroy Voldemort, Fudge could only be wronged.

It was Tom who cut Pettigrew Peter halfway.

He found the dementors guarding Peter in advance, and ordered them to install two stealth smoke bombs on the carriage-this is a new invention of Fred and George, after use, it will emit a large amount of thick smoke, completely blocking the surrounding vision , and the smoke is very choking, and it also has a certain dizziness effect, which can effectively interfere with the opponent's use of magic to fight back.

Fox led him, all the way behind the carriage. Tom was cautious, and did not attack until the carriage had flown out of the British Isles.

He first summoned the patron saint, and the younger brothers who had been notified already fled in all directions. His acting skills were very realistic. Then he detonated the smoke bomb in the carriage, opened the door when the carriage was in a mess, and dragged Peter out. , and then disappeared without a trace while riding Fox.

Tom's actions were very fast. It took no more than thirty seconds from summoning the Patronus to snatching Peter away. If counting from detonating the smoke bomb, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

It was so fast that Kingsley didn't even react.

After Tom left, Kingsley and Tonks in the carriage fell silent.

"What should we do, Kingsley, I feel like my head is going to explode!" Tonks felt his mind go blank, and he didn't know what to do.

Kingsley wanted to say something, but he also felt dizzy, and everything in front of him was doubled. Auror's intuition told him something was wrong, the smoke just now was poisonous! So he first cut a **** on his thigh, using the severe pain to keep himself awake, then he grabbed Tonks' hand, tried his best to concentrate, and used Apparition to leave the carriage.

With a bang, Kingsley and Tonks suddenly appeared in a small alley in Westminster, London. The two sat down leaning against the graffiti-covered wall, breathing in the fresh air, and quietly waiting for the dizziness in their heads to subside.

After they regained their senses, they struggled to stand up, walked into the Ministry of Magic, and reported on Peter's kidnapping.

Soon, the news caused an uproar. Fudge didn't try to hide the news either—there's no way to keep that kind of news away! He launched all the Aurors, strikers, and searched for Peter along the way, but found nothing.

In fact, when Fudge saw the news of Peter's escape, he knew that the probability of finding Peter was very small. If a wizard wanted to escape, he couldn't be caught immediately. He might turn into all sorts of weird disguises, he might fly on the Floo Web, he might use Apparatus. Maybe when Kingsley and the others returned to the Ministry of Magic, Peter had already landed in Normandy.

What's more deadly is that he was taken away. This plunged Fudge into a deep fear: Who would be interested in Peter? There is no doubt that the mysterious person is the rest of the party. What is the purpose of the mysterious people's remnant party? Let the man who can't even say his name make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Fudge couldn't stop shivering.

"What should I do... what should I do?" He turned around twice, and it suddenly occurred to him that he should ask Dumbledore! Why not ask the great Dumbledore?

So he went to find Dumbledore in a panic, only to learn that he had returned to Hogwarts. Hearing the news, Fudge swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Now, as if his bones had been pulled out, he completely lost his strength and fighting spirit.

All of this was seen by Amelia Bones. After the initial panic, she came back to her senses and realized that there was a high probability that Dumbledore was playing tricks—Peter should have been abducted by his people , and may have been disposed of by now.

While being shocked, she also knew that the best time for herself had come. She just needs to wait in peace, and when Fudge is sure that Peter Pettigrew can't be found, she can launch an impeachment, which will definitely remove Fudge from power, and then she will naturally become the new Minister of Magic!

Seeing Fudge sitting in a dazed state, Amelia Bones winked at her cronies and called them aside.

Fudge was oblivious to Amelia Bones' little tricks, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Where did Tom go?" Hermione sat outside the classroom with her schoolbag in her arms. Tom skipped the first class this morning. Fortunately, Professor Lu Ping did not teach a new lesson today~lightnovelpub.net~ but just summarized the knowledge points learned before.

"I hope you don't have to patronize the big dinner during the Christmas holiday, but also review what you learned in the first half of the semester." He said.

Hermione thought that Tom might not get up in the morning, so she simply skipped the first class, but she never expected that after the first class was over, Tom was still gone!

"If this guy dares to skip the whole morning's class all at once, I must give him some color!" Hermione clenched her fists and made up her mind: she must not spoil this guy anymore, and give him some punishment. Perhaps it would be a good idea to prohibit Tom from looking at the Defense Against the Dark Arts notes he had compiled today.

Where is Tom at this time? He was in the principal's office, with Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black as his companions.
