Black Is a Dog!

Minister Fudge was determined to pin the blame on the French Ministry of Magic and even cast a Permanency Charm.

He also tried to incite William to give an interview to the Daily Prophet, accusing France of illegally persecuting him and Hermione.

William just kept making "uh-huh" and "yeah" sounds the whole time, just like a girl on the other end of the phone trying to appease him by saying "running" or "eating spicy snacks."

He had received benefits after all, so he wouldn't do something like betraying Cregan by secretly stabbing him in the back.

Besides, when Fudge asked him for a favor, all he ordered were a few cups of tea from small cans; he didn't offer anything else.

This is hardly the posture of someone asking for a favor!

William may refuse the gift, but you cannot refuse to give it!

Look how shrewd Cregan is, he just adds 10,000 Galleon to the dragon's corpse!

That's true. Getting money out of Fudge's pocket is harder than catching Black; just ask Malfoy.

So William kept dodging the question, and finally brought up Dumbledore, the scapegoat, saying he wanted to discuss it with him.

Fudge's face turned pale at the mention of Dumbledore.

"What's wrong?" William asked keenly.

"It's nothing, just that I've had some disagreements with Albus lately, about the Dementor Guardians..."

William narrowed his eyes and said, "You're not planning to let Dementor stay at Hogwarts, are you?"

"Ah, child... you're really well-informed... Albus even told you something like this?" Fudge exclaimed in surprise.

"No, the headmaster didn't say. I'm just guessing." William shook his head. "If I were the headmaster, I wouldn't let those guys into Hogwarts either!"

"William, I'm like you, I don't like them either," Fudge said helplessly. "But it's necessary to be on the safe side. There are too many young wizards there, and... well, anyway, Hogwarts needs Dementor."

"Why not send Auror?" Hermione snapped. "Dementor are floating around everywhere; they absorb happiness and it will affect the students. Not everyone knows the Patronus Charm!"

"We're short-handed," Fudge said, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Our Ministry of Magic staff are busy building Quidditch fields and expelling Muggle."

The Auror can't just focus on Black; there are many dark wizards in this country.

"I can only ask the Dementor; they're safe and won't attack..."

Fudge suddenly fell silent. The three children in front of him had been attacked by Dementor. Moreover, he said they were short-handed, as there were four Auror bodyguards standing at the door.

"Alright, I have something else to do, so I'll stop here. You guys go and buy everything the school needs."

Fudge stood up and picked up his robe. He had barely opened the door when he exclaimed, "Harry... what are you doing...?"

Harry was quickly dragged over.

Harry seemed to have gained three pounds after the summer break. He was holding two ice creams in his left hand, a chocolate sundae in his right, and a large bag of junk food in his other hand.

It's just like those stay-at-home men and women who are stuck at home during the pandemic, and when they occasionally go out to shop, they carry big bags and small bags, like refugees.

He also saw William and his group, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Mr. Minister, I only went to Diagon Alley, nothing else," Harry explained.

"That's good. Don't go anywhere else, and definitely don't go to Knockturn Alley," Fudge advised.

After Fudge left, Harry exclaimed excitedly, "You're back from France?"

"Yes." William nodded.

"Was it fun over there...?" Harry sat down in Fudge's spot. "During the summer holidays, the newspapers were full of stories about the two of you. They said you were in Paris..."

"Stop mentioning that damn newspaper, Harry," William said, speechless.

He decided to continue leaking information to Rita and let her use her imagination.

Fabrication, nonsense, blatant lies... no matter what method is used, even if it's portraying "Black as a dog," the focus will be shifted back to him!

Hermione asked in confusion, "Harry, what are you doing at the Leaky Cauldron? Did your aunt and uncle allow you to come?"

"Um... I inflated my aunt's belly and then she ran away from home," Harry recounted his ordeal.

It turns out that Harry's Aunt Marge visited his house during the summer holidays. Aunt Marge, a disciple of Snape, was a sarcastic and sarcastic person, and said some extremely unpleasant things.

In a fit of anger, Harry blew her up like a balloon, and she floated in the wind for a long time. Many Muggle even thought it was another UFO.

Harry ran away from home, was caught by Minister Fudge, and left at the Leaky Cauldron.

"Harry, you shouldn't have attacked Muggle with magic," Hermione said seriously, her lips pursed. "That person was your aunt."

"I didn't mean to do that," Harry explained. "But she's really awful."

"No matter how much I hate it, I can't..."

"I know, it was just a momentary lapse in control," Harry changed the subject. "Ron wrote to me too, he heard about it from Mr. Weasley, and he thought it was hilarious..."

"There's nothing funny about this!" Hermione said sternly. "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you got fired."

"It's nothing compared to what you guys did in France," Harry muttered.

Hermione's eyebrows lifted slightly.

Harry gave William a pleading look, asking him to keep an eye on Hermione.

William shrugged and gave a helpless smile.

Hermione has many forms, the most troublesome being "Miss Know-It-All" and "Little McGonagall".

Hermione is now undoubtedly possessed by McGonagall, her sharp and stern nature amplified by two hundred percent.

If Professor McGonagall were with Hermione, the two could trigger an interaction field, creating a powerful aura that even William feared!

That aura was so overwhelming that William didn't even have the thought of picking up his wand to fight back!

Terrifying!

"Are you staying here tonight? I've been here for almost a month." Harry had no choice but to bite the bullet and change the subject.

William shook his head and said, "We need to go home."

Rather than the Leaky Cauldron... is Hermione's family unhappy, or is Aunt Emily's cooking no longer appealing?

"Okay..." Harry, somewhat disappointed.

He was hoping William would stay, so the two could sleep side by side at night and tell each other stories of their adventures in France.

It's definitely more exciting than what's written in the newspapers.

He was also very interested in the woman named Arya Grindelwald.

Just thinking about nuclear bombs gets my blood pumping; those things are definitely better than magic wands!

It's a pity that Hermione didn't go; it would have been better if he and William had gone on the adventure instead.

It's really... good for rowing!

Harry then tentatively asked, "Did you contact any other classmates over the summer?"

"It's just a few letters, what's wrong with that?" William said.

"It's nothing. I wrote to a lot of classmates, but Cho's letter didn't arrive." Harry hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is something wrong with her...?"

William forced a smile.

Harry truly lives up to his reputation as the number two sycophant at Hogwarts, only slightly inferior to Cedric.

"Autumn went to Australia, and I wrote her a letter, but I guess it hasn't arrived yet," William said.

He then thought of Qiu's fight with the kangaroo, wondering if her panda eyes had healed yet.

"Australia..." Harry breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought Cho was deliberately refusing to accept it.

Okay, everything's going well! He still has a great chance!
