Drawing a Tiger from a Cat?

Hogwarts, Seventh Floor Headmaster's Office.

Mr. Crouch, looking haggard, found Dumbledore and said, "Headmaster, save me! Fudge is too treacherous!"

As he spoke, he unfolded the newspaper in his hand, the headline of which read: [Fudge outwits the dark wizard, eliminating 13 innocent students!]

"Fudge is truly shameless. To become a minister, he'll pull off any fake job, even going so far as to outwit the dark wizards. He's such a useless guy, he can't even beat Little Red Riding Hood, yet he dared to fight 13 dark wizards."

Mr. Crouch was very dissatisfied. He had been confident of victory, but Fudge suddenly took a populist approach, catching him completely off guard.

Dumbledore, as always, remained calm and composed, saying lightly, "Don't worry, Barty, I've already taken action. You'll see the results tomorrow!"

Dumbledore very confident. He thought, "It's just a matter of gaining public support. Fudge can do this, and so can Dumbledore."

So what if the people of Knockturn Alley support Fudge? Hogsmeade is the real wizarding village, Dumbledore's private domain.

High-end shops are everywhere in Hogsmeade; he refused to believe he couldn't beat a mere Fudge.

Hogsmeade, Saturday.

An advertisement supporting Barty Crouch quietly appeared at the entrance.

Various tales of Barty Crouch's past good deeds have been turned into slogans and displayed in Hogsmeade.

However, almost all the residents of Hogsmeade looked grim and displeased as they stared at the signs.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's idea, they would have torn those signs to shreds long ago.

Knockturn Alley was full of Muggle-born who couldn't survive. Lester gave them jobs, shelter, food, and dignity, so they were grateful for it all.

Even if political slogans suddenly appear in their neighborhood, they will not only not be disgusted, but will also feel goodwill towards Fudge and be willing to accept these slogans.

In addition, most of the residents of Knockturn Alley were factory workers. Fudge visited the factory every few days, and they were very close. He helped solve problems and offered suggestions. He even held two workers' matchmaking events in the Great Hall.

Almost all Muggle-born have accepted Fudge.

You see, many wizards have families. When they go home, they will naturally speak well of Fudge and how Fudge has helped them. Because of this, everyone in their family will become a fan of Fudge and will not be offended by the slogan.

But Hogsmeade is a village with a history of thousands of years, and almost none of its wizards are poor.

Everyone was living their lives just fine before, it had nothing to do with you, Crouch, so why are you putting up signs here now, getting in everyone's way!

At the entrance of the Hog's Head Inn, Aberforth Dumbledore, looking at the sign in front of the shop with great displeasure, spat and tore it down.

"Don't let anything that gets in my way affect my business!"

Of course, he's Dumbledore's brother, so he dares to do this. As for other ordinary merchants, they wouldn't dare.

Aside from the residents of Hogsmeade, almost all the businesses were extremely dissatisfied, as Crouch's slogan must have greatly affected their business.

As we all know, consumption is essential for economic development.

Since the completion of the Bide Superfactory, a group of wealthy workers suddenly appeared in the Wizarding World. With money, they naturally began to spend.

Hogsmeade, a famous commercial street in the Wizarding World, is always bustling with business thanks to the spending power of these workers.

However, today, many workers from the Bide factory arrived happily with their families of three, but their expressions changed upon seeing the banners supporting Crouch. They quickly left with their families, their faces darkening.

Finally, a family of three arrived at the Honeydukes, and the child kept asking for candy.

The shopkeeper merely mentioned that any advertisement supporting Crouch would receive a discount, at which point the wizard's expression immediately changed, and ignoring the child's cries, he grabbed him and left.

The child's mother was also very unhappy and glared at him. Even the little child, after understanding what it meant to support Crouch, stopped crying and even said with disdain that he was a bad person.

The shop owner was extremely frustrated. Who had he offended?
