I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 121 Hypocritical rulers

As expected, at the dinner the next day, Dumbledore announced Lockhart's attack on the students. For this, Orlando won a special contribution award and 200 points for Gryffindor. Gryffindor's The score suddenly surpassed the other three colleges and jumped from last place to No. 1.

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic specially awarded him 2000 Galleons in recognition of his outstanding performance and courage in fighting the dark wizards during this period.In front of all the teachers and students in the school, a pot-bellied man handed the money to Orlando with a smile. Orlando recognized this man at a glance as the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Oswald Fudge, who was the current Minister of Magic. I met him when I received the Order of Merlin.

Orlando's indifference was somewhat incompatible with the fanatical atmosphere in the auditorium. He didn't feel that he had done anything extraordinary, because it was just a transaction.

"Harry, Ron, this is for you." Orlando counted out two hundred galleons and gave each of them one hundred.

"What is this for?" Harry pushed back the Garen in front of him, while Ron looked at Orlando with a blank expression.

"You deserve this. After all, you did your part in exposing Lockhart's conspiracy."

"But we didn't do anything?"

"That's right, you deserve this money, I...can't take it." Ron mustered up all his courage to refuse.

"Take it, we are doing this together, and everyone should have a share." Hermione understood Orlando very well and followed suit.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and finally put it away.

Orlando put the remaining money and the purse into Hermione's hand, "I'll leave it to you for safekeeping."

"Well, I'll keep it safe."

After the dinner, there was a carnival going on in the Gryffindor common room. They surrounded Orlando. Everyone wanted to shake hands and hug their warriors, which made Orlando extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, at this time, Percy The crowd squeezed in, and in order for Orlando to hear what he said, he shouted loudly: "Orlando, Dumbledore wants you and Harry to go to the principal's office."

Orlando was relieved and quickly squeezed out of the carnival crowd.

At this time, Fudge was roaring loudly in the principal's office. Dumbledore actually told him that the diary in front of him was a dark magic item left by Voldemort when he was young. It was through which the Dark Lord controlled Lockhart at Hogwarts. He has created a series of attacks. How much panic will this cause if the truth is spread?How big of an impact will it have on the Ministry of Magic?Dumbledore would not be unclear, so he firmly disagreed with Dumbledore's statement, and the two had a violent conflict.

Orlando pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Harry.Orlando glanced at Cornelius Oswald Fudge, who was sitting on the sofa. At this time, his expression was extremely ugly, and the folds on his face were twisted into a ball. He seemed to be sulking. He was so concerned about Orlando and Harry who came in. Not even a glance.

Dumbledore was as calm and calm as ever, and he did not let Fudge's incident affect his mood.

"Orlando, I need you to recount the battle with Lockhart." Dumbledore winked at him and signaled.

"Okay, Professor,"

So Orlando focused on how Lockhart sneak-attacked him, how he turned defeat into victory, and in the process discovered the fact that he was controlled by Tom Riddle. It was none of his business whether Fudge believed it or not.

Sure enough, Fudge insisted that Lockhart was a dark wizard and that it was Dumbledore's mistake in choosing the right person. As for Dumbledore's blaming the Dark Lord, this was just quibbling in his opinion. How could a dead man possibly do that? Control another person with items left behind decades ago?Even if this person was the Dark Lord, it would be impossible.

The two started a new round of war of words over this, and Harry naturally sided with Dumbledore. He told the story of how he accidentally obtained the diary, and combined the information they investigated to determine that the diary was 50 years old. Left behind by the former Dark Lord.

"That is to say, this diary has its own thoughts and takes you to revisit the scene 50 years ago?" Fudge seized on the loopholes in Harry's language and continued to ask: "If he is the Dark Lord, why didn't he be there on the spot? Kill you, knowing that you are his mortal enemy?"

"That's because this was made by Voldemort when he was young, Cornelius, and he didn't know what happened later." Dumbledore sighed and explained for Harry.

"It's so ridiculous. Do you think anyone will believe this kind of lie?" Fudge roared.

"I'm not lying. Orlando, Ron and Hermione can all testify for me." Harry said loudly with a blush on his face.

"Okay, no one will believe the jokes of a few children." Fudge sneered, "I think that's the end of the matter. You don't want to lose the 2000 Galleons you just got, which is a lot of money. "

When he said this, Fudge looked at Orlando with a clear warning, seeming to tell him that the money was the hush money given by the Ministry of Magic. If he didn't want to cause trouble, he'd better take the money and shut up.

Orlando shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with him, he was just a passerby.

On the way back, Harry was filled with indignation and seemed extremely angry, "Why is he like this? Why doesn't he believe such an obvious thing?"

Orlando patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Politicians all over the world are the same. For the sake of their political achievements, white can be called black, and black can be called white. As long as they can keep their official hat, the truth will be revealed. It doesn’t matter to them, so Harry really doesn’t need to be so angry, didn’t you see that Dumbledore was calm throughout the whole process?”

"Then why should we make a trip to explain to him? Why bother?"

"Haha, it's just a formality. Why bother? Do you think the Ministry of Magic's money is so easy to get? It's our hush money so that we don't talk nonsense everywhere. Do you understand?"

Harry was so angry that he didn't speak. He had never experienced social beatings and couldn't figure it out for a while.

On the contrary, Orlando feels that this result is quite good. Both parties can take what they need without interfering with each other.The Ministry of Magic needs peace and Orlando needs to keep a low profile.Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that Voldemort would make a comeback in a few years.By that time, if Voldemort knew about the good things he had done over the years, he would not want to kill him and then hurry up.

"Harry, I have something else to do, so I won't go back to celebrate with you. Help me bring a message to Hermione." After saying that, he put an invisibility charm on himself, followed Harry into the door, and avoided the door. Everyone who was having a carnival quietly returned to the dormitory alone.

"Little master, are you back? The old master is waiting for you." Yuri hurriedly came over, and his hands and feet became more agile after rejuvenating.

"Yuri, you... how did you... become younger? Also, what happened to your ears...? Why do I feel a different pressure from you?" Capri was shocked. I was speechless.

"This..." Yuri didn't know whether to explain or not. He looked at Orlando.

"Okay, we are all our own, there is no need to hide it. This is the Mortal Transformation and Blood Coagulation Pill. Just take it and Yuri will tell you how to take it." Orlando poured out a pill and put it into Capri's hand.

The scent of the Mortal Transformation Blood Coagulation Pill in his hand made Kabri tremble. His whole body was trembling, and his blood flowed faster under the stimulation of the medicine's smell.

Kabri instinctively felt that this elixir was very important to him, because he had never wanted something as urgently as he did now.

"Master." Cabri knelt at Orlando's feet and kissed his shoes repeatedly to express his inner excitement.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly. Yuri has also taken it. If you have any questions, just ask him. I have something to do with the teacher. You wait here for me to come back." After explaining, Orlando took a step forward Go to the living room.
