The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts - Vol 4 Chapter 165

The case of Crouch’s disappearance was finally stabbed a few days later.

On the cover of the Daily Prophet, there is a sensational article by Rita Skeeter with her usual headline—

“Shocked! Ministry of Magic employees have disappeared one after another, and even the director is inevitable! Does the Ministry still have the ability to protect the safety of the masses?”

Even Minister of Magic Fudge exhausted all his efforts and was unable to try to keep things down.

If the outside world knows the disappearance of a senior director-level official of the Ministry of Magic, the impact of the Quidditch World Cup riots that he managed to settle will be raised again by the masses. He mobilized a large amount of human resources in the Ministry of Magic, but he couldn’t find any clues.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, Crouch took frequent vacations on the grounds of physical discomfort, and the entire Ministry of Magic hadn’t seen him for months.

He sent letters from Owl to his personal assistant Percy Wesley for remote instructions. Percy, who was fascinated by the desire for power, didn’t have any doubts at all. Instead, he regarded it as Crouch’s high regard for him, and was giving himself a chance to hone, so Crouch’s disappearance has never been discovered.

When Dumbledore saw the news, he was also puzzled.

The story behind Crouch is extremely difficult—

He is obviously a workaholic. After dismissing the house elves in the Quidditch World Cup, his physical condition is suddenly deteriorating very obviously, working hours are getting less and less, and more and more things are handed over to young and inexperienced. Percy Wesley’s handling of this is obviously not in line with his personality in Dumbledore’s mind.

According to Harry, Crouch ran all the way to Hogwarts to find himself for important things, and he had already begun to speak incoherently and deliriously, but still remembered to tell him himself.

When he really saw him, he didn’t remember anything. He just remembered to sleep and ran to Hogwarts. No matter how you look at it, it looks weird.

Dumbledore strongly suspected that his memory had been modified, but—

With his knowledge of memory magic, he couldn’t see any clues when he made eye contact with Crouch. Crouch’s memory was coherent and seamless, and there was no abruptness or violation. Although it was a bit arrogant to say that, Dumbledore didn’t believe that someone in this world could modify a person’s memory to this point, and the clothes were so seamless that he could not see any flaws at all.

You know, “cracking and restoring memory magic” and “seeing the flaws in memory magic” are two different things.

If someone can modify the memory to the point where he can’t decipher and extract the real memory, this is not impossible. For example, Slahhorn in the original can do it. But if you want to make the modified memory so that he can’t see any problems, it’s really hard to convince him. Even the world-famous Grindelwald and Voldemort could not do it.

Originally, he planned to leave Crouch first in Hogwarts to recuperate, so that he could have more time to observe and investigate. He also specially arranged for Ms. Pomfrey to take care of him, but he did not expect it to be a few. At a young age, Crouch disappeared strangely, and Ms. Pomfrey was hit by a very powerful Forgetting Curse and remembered nothing.

He watched Crouch enter the school hospital with his own eyes, and he did not forget that all around the school hospital, including the entrance gate and every window, personally cast his most powerful defensive magic and guard magic. Even Voldemort in his heyday could not take Crouch away without disturbing him.

As a result, neither the warning magic nor the defensive magic was triggered. Crouch just disappeared from the school hospital strangely, as if the whole person turned into air and evaporated, leaving no trace.

Ms. Pomfrey couldn’t tell him any useful information, and even because of her mental impairment, she took a long vacation to recuperate, so as to save the sequelae of becoming confused and forgetful after falling.

The Hogwarts school hospital cannot sit without a licensed therapist, so Dumbledore has been running around for a while, and finally persuaded a retired therapist to temporarily replace Ms. Pomfrey. Position.

During this period, Dumbledore also tried to investigate the mystery of Crouch’s disappearance, but no matter it was the portrait, armor, statue, or ghost, he could not give any useful information.

The most amazing thing is that it is impossible to perform Apparition within the range of Hogwarts, and the use of the Floo Net in the furnace in the castle requires his authority as the principal. How Crouch disappeared from Hogwarts unconsciously, Dumbledore really had no idea.

Therefore, although Dumbledore knew that Crouch was last seen at Hogwarts, before he solved the mystery of Crouch’s disappearance, he did not intend to announce this to the media to excuse Fudge. Anyway, if you insist, Fudge is also responsible for Crouch’s affairs. On the surface, Fudge and Crouch are harmonious colleagues, but in fact, who doesn’t know that Fudge secretly excluded those nasty things that suppressed Crouch.

This time, let Fudge take the blame.

When it comes to Fudge, he is not a fool. He was very responsible at the beginning. He tried his best to send many people out of the Ministry of Magic to find Crouch’s whereabouts, but as time passed, he also began to get tired of it, so he had to ask him to take care of it. ? The Ministry of Magic is so big, does every employee have to ask him for missing him?

of course not.

Fudge used his trick-

Shake the pot.

In other words, find a bad luck.

Crouch’s personal assistant, Percy Wesley was the hapless one.

Not only was he suspended for investigation, he was also arrested as the number one suspect.

Now, the media is overwhelmingly questioning the voices of the Weasley family, suspecting that Arthur Weasley has begun a layout of fighting for power in order to fulfill his illusory ideal of peaceful coexistence with Muggles. As his most outstanding son, Percy is exactly the chess piece he set in the Ministry of Magic. uukanshu. At the moment, Crouch’s disappearance was stabbed out by com, but it was just a proof that he accidentally leaked information in his plan.

Suddenly, the reputation of the Wesley family has changed from an obscure and inferior family to a thorn in the eye of everyone. And the families that have been close to them, such as the Prewitt family, the Longbottom family, and the Diggory family, have also begun to draw a clear line with them.

Although it was Fudge’s own idea to throw the pot, he had never expected that public opinion would be so fierce. All of this is naturally fueled by someone behind the scenes.

That person is naturally the protagonist of the book, the second young master of the Malfoy family, Schelling Malfoy.

After the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Barnabas Gufe, through his former nobleman Horez Slug Club and Schelling’s slug club, the Daily Prophet also fell to Schelling’s camp. Coupled with the influence of the Medieval Wizarding Association in the media world, Schelling can make public opinion develop in the direction he wants, reverse black and white, manipulate public opinion, and incite public opinion with just one sentence.

Schelling may have owed Dumbledore’s kindness and didn’t want to tear his face directly with him, but this does not mean that the conflict between Schelling and him will disappear. The two of them, from start to finish, are not in the same camp—

There can only be one White Demon in this world.

Schelling can’t deal with Dumbledore himself, can’t he still use the members of the Order of the Phoenix under him?

This time, even with Dumbledore’s protection, the Wesley family would have been hurt, and the family’s few savings would have to be reduced by half. As for social fame and the like, ha ha.
