Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 197

Fudge felt that bursts of anger in his heart surged uncontrollably, but the newspaper industry was a relatively special industry, and he was not good at fighting this woman.

He stabilized his aura and explained as calmly as possible:

“Don’t judge people by their appearance, Miss Skeeter. Ulysses is an excellent student at Hogwarts, and he is trusted by Dumbledore…With him, I believe things will progress soon.”

To be honest, Fudge doesn’t think Ulysses can provide any help. After all, the most elite Aurors are helpless. If Ulysses can really find any clues, does it mean that the Ministry of Magic has a bunch of waste?

But in order to appease Rita Skeeter, he can only choose a good one, and only hope that this woman can leave quickly.

“Oh?”

Unexpectedly, Rita Skeeter rolled her eyes and showed a strange smile. She looked at Ulysses who was watching the play silently, and said with a smile, “Then Mr. Minister, can you let me watch during the investigation? What? Seeing is believing, after all, you also know that the credibility of the Ministry of Magic has been seriously shaken recently…”

‘Isn’t it all good things you did? ’

Fudge cursed in his heart, and said coldly, “Don’t even think about it. How can the most mysterious department of the Ministry of Magic let a reporter in?”

“If there is any progress, I promise I will record it faithfully and sincerely… Isn’t this a good opportunity to restore the image of the Ministry of Magic?”

Rita Skeeter blinked and began to bargain.

Fudge had such a momentary movement, but his duties as Minister of Magic quickly made him sober-in fact, he didn’t have any sense of responsibility, but felt that the Ministry must be completely in his hands, and made one famous for exaggerating facts. It is an extremely unsafe act for reporters to enter the mysterious affairs department.

Therefore, he waved his hand and said categorically:

“Okay, Miss Skeeter, this is the end of this matter. I will notify the newspaper as soon as there is progress, so you don’t have to worry about it. Please go out now, I still have a job.”

Rita Skeeter was unwilling to try again, but after seeing Fudge’s face, she understood that she might not be able to get any benefit from this minister, so she gave him an angry look and walked out to the office. The door was closed hard.

The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the ground quickly disappeared.

“Let you see the joke, Ulysses…”

Fudge smiled awkwardly, and glanced at Ulysses vaguely, for fear of seeing a trace of contempt or sarcasm from above.

But Ulysses always had a faint smile on his face, and shook his head slightly and said:

“Nothing. Now that I have seen it, I will go directly to the mysterious affairs department to start an investigation, Mr. Minister.”

He stood up, saw Fudge also left his desk and walked out, saying:

“I’ll take you there, and by the way, explain your origins to the Silent Man.”

Fudge went out first, Ulysses following him.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a miniature beetle hanging upside down on the minister’s office plaque fell lightly on his windbreaker and slipped into Ulysses’s pocket with great skill.

Ulysses didn’t realize it, but a strange smile appeared on his face.

Fudge led Ulysses into the elevator, all the way down, to the ninth underground floor, the Ministry of Magic’s top secret agency, the Department of Mysterious Affairs.

There was no movement around, only the torch closest to them swayed from side to side by the air current stirred up by the elevator.

Fudge walked through a simple corridor, opened the plain black door in front, and entered a circular room.

Everything here is black, including the floor and ceiling. There are many black doors inlaid on the surrounding black wall, all of which are exactly the same, without marks and no handles. There are some branch-shaped candles dotted between the walls. The flames are blue, and the swaying cold light casts on the marble floor, making people feel that the feet are dark water.

Ulysses squinted his eyes, quickly adjusted to the dim light, and looked around curiously. He also came to this mysterious place for the first time.

Two black shadows appeared silently beside Fudge and Ulysses, bowed slightly to Fudge, and suddenly spoke:

“Mr. Minister.”

“Oh, Bode, Crocker, have you found anything lately?”

Fudge wasn’t surprised at their appearance, he seemed to have taken it for granted, and asked casually.

It’s just that he didn’t have much hope from the looks of him.

As expected by Fudge, Bode and Kroc shook their heads dullly, and said hoarsely:

“We have searched the entire mysterious affairs department dozens of times.”

“Damn thief.”

Fudge gritted his teeth, patted Ulysses on the shoulder, and said to them.

“This is Ulysses Lestrange, who Dumbledore sent here to assist you in your investigation. For the time being, it is your colleague.”

After speaking, Fudge faced Ulysses and said:

“These two are Bode and Kroc, well-trained elite Aurors, responsible for all affairs of the Mysterious Affairs Department. Their position is called the Silent Man.”

Then he clapped his hands, turned and walked outside, saying as he walked:

“I brought people here. You will discuss the specific investigation matters. I have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with…”

His voice was getting farther and farther, and he could still hear his cursing on fugitives and thieves faintly, and as the black door closed, it disappeared completely.

There was silence in the rotunda.

Ulysses watched the two silent men silently. Bode is a middle-aged wizard with a firm face, but his face is very ugly. Crocker was slightly younger than him, frowned slightly, watching Ulysses hesitate to speak.

Ulysses knew what they were thinking. The theft of Merlin’s scepter was undoubtedly a shame to them, and Dumbledore’s sending in fully demonstrated Fudge’s distrust of their abilities.

However, they are not easy to attack. After all, it is the negligence of their work. Even if they have any opinions in their hearts, they can only endure it.

“Two seniors, when I first arrived, I still have to rely on your experience. During the investigation, the two seniors are still the main ones, and I will fight on the side.”

Ulysses saw their embarrassment and said with a smile.

Bode and Kroc’s expressions eased a little, but they were still unspeakably awkward.

In their opinion, this matter has been qualitative. After all, it has been nearly half a year since the theft. The Ministry of Magic tried its best to cover up the matter, but recently they didn’t know how the matter was leaked, which caused the magic world. focus on.

They have worked in the mysterious affairs department for more than ten years, and they know everything here. They searched for more than half a year and didn’t find any clues. What clues could this Ulysses, who looked like a student, found out?
