Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 486 Threat

Chapter 486 Threat

The principal's office suddenly fell silent. Neither Fudge nor Dumbledore expected Sirius to say that.

This is no joke. As the most famous wand maker in the wizarding world, Ollivander's presence in other countries would immediately make the British Ministry of Magic a laughing stock on the international stage.

"Garrick wouldn't do that," Fudge said curtly.

"But I will."

Seemingly oblivious to his livid expression, Siron continued, "I don't understand. Both Antonin Dolohoff and Barty Crouch are criminals wanted by the Ministry of Magic. Their appearance in Hogsmeade to kill me is a dereliction of duty on your part."

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have a powerful and kind-hearted wizard help drive away the Death Eaters. But instead of recognizing your mistakes, you people from the Ministry of Magic are interrogating me, the victim?"

"I don't like this Ministry of Magic."

"Oh, by the way, I'll be able to inherit Ollivander's Wand Shop after I graduate."

With each word Siren spoke, Fudge's breathing grew heavier. He never imagined that Ollivander, usually so mild-mannered and only interested in wands, would produce such a troublemaker.

As for Umbridge, he was furious.

He was threatening the Ministry of Magic just now, wasn't he? How dare a student threaten the Ministry of Magic!

"you----"

"Dolores!" Fudge shouted, stopping Umbridge from continuing.

For the first time, he wondered if Umbridge had forgotten his brain in his teacup. Not only did he falsely accuse a student in front of Dumbledore, but the student was Ollivander!

Has she forgotten where she got her magic wand from?

If Ollivander really left Britain, the angry public would definitely be able to oust him from office!

Fudge's facial muscles twitched a few times, as if he was trying to control his emotions.

"Don't misunderstand, child, she may not have expressed herself accurately just now—of course we don't interrogate any wizard arbitrarily."

Fudge tried to soften his tone, "I—well, the Ministry of Magic means, did you see the wizard who used the Explosion Charm?"

"I'm sorry, Minister, I didn't see who it was," Celen said. "Perhaps just a wizard passing by. You know, Hogsmeade is the only all-wizard village in England, and it's famous, attracting a lot of tourists every day."

"Of course, I think so too—I mean, we'll ask other people," Fudge said.

At this point, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he made an excuse and turned to leave the principal's office.

Umbridge quickly followed, and as she walked out of the oak door, she turned back and gave Siren a venomous look.

Things happened so fast that Harry and the others didn't recover from their shock until minutes after Fudge and Umbridge left the headmaster's office.

"Silen, what you just said, it can't be true, can it—"

"Who knows?" Siren shrugged.

Others might not know, but he knew all too well that Umbridge was a complete idiot who would do anything to maintain her so-called power—she didn't even respect Dumbledore.

Siren didn't want to be arrested and taken to the Ministry of Magic on some fabricated pretext.

While such a thing is unlikely—after all, Dumbledore wouldn't just stand by and watch them do as they please—what if it happens?

Dumbledore's biggest weakness is his willingness to follow the rules. If Fudge takes a hard line, it's hard to guarantee that he won't break ties with the Ministry of Magic.

After all, he was not the savior Trelawney had predicted, and interrogation was not a conviction. Even if he was taken away, Dumbledore could easily bring him out through normal channels.

But this is not good news for Xilun. He has too many secrets, and he doesn't want anyone else to know about either the [Soul Weapon Codex] or the [Snake Eye] ring.

Therefore, he would never allow himself to be in a situation out of his control, such as being taken to the Ministry of Magic like Percy.

Yes, even though Buddy Crouch is dead, Percy has not been released.

Fortunately, he wasn't Percy, and Ollivander wasn't Weasley.

"You're being too impulsive," Hermione frowned. "Cornely Fudge, he's the Minister for Magic—"

"It's alright, Miss Granger," came Dumbledore's voice from the side. "I don't think Cornelius would hold a grudge against a child."

Although he also thought that Xilun was making a mountain out of a molehill, it didn't matter. After all, it was just a young wizard's somewhat childish protest after being misunderstood. Although it was inappropriate, it deserved to be forgiven.

I'm sure Fudge thinks so too.

After this incident, it may be difficult for Fudge to communicate with the Ministry of Magic, although it wasn't easy before either.

Dumbledore sighed softly, but quickly composed himself and looked at the group of people in the corner with a hint of helplessness.

"I'm sorry, children," he said. "I had hoped you would describe the situation in detail for Connelly, but it seems unnecessary now."

"It's alright," Harry quickly said. "It's not far anyway."

Ron and Hermione both nodded.

"It's good that you think that way," Dumbledore said with a slight sigh of relief. "However, there's something I hope you'll keep secret everything you just heard, okay?"

The group nodded and agreed.

Dumbledore then let them leave.

Once outside the headmaster's office, Hermione immediately started talking. Even with Dumbledore's help in explaining, she still thought that Sheryl's words had been too impulsive.

"Fudge is, after all, the Minister of Magic. If he wanted to cause trouble for Ollivander, it certainly wouldn't be difficult for him."

"And that Umbridge, I don't think she's a magnanimous person."

"Sirlen, I think you'd better write a letter to your grandfather and tell him to be careful."

"

Hermione talked a lot, from the headmaster's office to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

But compared to her, Xilun, the person involved, didn't care at all.

If Fudge or Umbridge really do lose their minds and cause trouble for Ollivander's Wand Shop, he has plenty of ways to deal with it.

The simplest way is to give Umbridge a Imperishable Charm, although he doesn't know the spell yet, he can learn it.

When Professor Moody talked about the three unforgivable curses last year, he took notes on all of them. He figured he could learn them by practicing them a few times.

Xiren felt that if the opponent was Umbridge, it shouldn't be a big problem.
