Chapter 64: The First Wizarding World War
Judging by the small details, Crouch has a big problem.
As a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, he actually committed illegal imprisonment.
Well, William doesn't seem to be in a position to say such things.
In his safety table, basilisks, runi snakes, French civets, and voldemort bats are imprisoned...... and a series of dangerous and illegal magical creatures.
He also captured the Dementors, the Warden who was receiving a Azkaban allowance from the Ministry of Magic.
More than one!
He even wanted to make them into flying cloaks and train the little black robes to be spies and blend into the Dementors.
Definitely not now, the little black robe is only superficially obedient, if it can run out, it will probably set fire to William's tent.
The little black robe needs to be honed a lot, just like the Headmaster honed Harry.
Although William has done so many outrageous things, magical creatures and wizards are not equal after all.
Otherwise, Uncle Newt could be imprisoned for a thousand years to atone for his sinful life.
So William has no problem with Newt, but Crouch has a big problem. Who imprisoned the wizard?
William couldn't help but wonder if this old fellow was going to imprison a young witch.
Do something unspeakable.
Of course, according to Ying Gaylan's habits, the probability of imprisoning a wizard is a little greater.
In a sense, wasn't Grindelwald 'imprisoned' in Newmengard by Dumbledore?
It's not uncommon.
William remembered another thing.
Crouch once hinted that Bertha might have discovered Fudge's secrets before he cast a powerful amnesia.
Combined with the current situation, it is more likely that Bertha discovered Crouch's secret and was subjected to amnesia by him.
Crouch found William and Hermione to find out if the tortured Bertha had been broken out of her amnesia and told them the secret.
Deliberately climbing Fudge is just confusing the public.
If that's the case, everything can be explained, including the anomalies from Bertha to Crouch.
After all, Bertha was working in Crouch's department when her memory suddenly deteriorated.
Crouch thought it was seamless. But he clearly overestimated himself and underestimated William and Hermione.
He had made so many mistakes tonight, and the flaws he had exposed were too big for William and Hermione to turn a blind eye to.
He and Little Tom were seven Voldemorts apart!
So, the problem is back to square one.
Who did Bertha see?
What wizard would have allowed Crouch to risk ruin and be imprisoned for at least four years?
For a while, William really couldn't think of it.
Hermione couldn't have guessed, but she was a man of action.
The next day, he finds Dobby and asks him to slowly get in touch with Twilight.
William wasn't too optimistic about it.
House-elves are very loyal, and elves like Dobby, who go behind their master's back to Harry to inform, are hereticals.
The head will be cut off and hung in the kitchen to make elf head soup.
Although this strange fire is over, the impact is extremely far-reaching. It was completely unexpected by William, and even by the person concerned, Professor Babling.
Even the ensuing quarterfinals have become supporting roles, and not too many people pay attention to them.
Because under the pressure of the United States, the British Ministry of Magic finally couldn't resist the pressure and checked the death of the American wizard and reported it.
Fudge's rhetoric is very much in line with his usual style.
Find other hot spots to cover first, and if you can't cover them, you can shake the pot......
The pot has been found, and the attackers are the purge of the United States. They came to the Quidditch World Cup to sabotage.
The Cleaners also attempted to set fire to the head of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Communications.
Everyone was excited, this kind of drama of killing people in the World Cup and setting a big fire...... It's so new and eye-catching.
All kinds of conspiracy theories suddenly became popular, and some people even believed that it was the work of the Magical Congress of the United States.
At the press conference, Secretary Fudge asked the Magical Congress of the United States why it didn't crack down on the Purges.
He claimed that the United States is a typical example of inaction, and will only shirk its responsibilities and shift the blame to other countries.
If this happened in the UK, it would be an unimaginable disaster. He will resign in shame.
Fudge also announced that the vampire Bloodnis would be imprisoned in Azkaban, and told everyone in a hoarse voice:
Evil does not prevail over good!
The Magical Congress of the United States was suddenly unhappy.
Isn't that?
According to Fudge, can the British wizards who died in the United States also rely on the Death Eaters?
As a result, the two countries engaged in a war of words.
This war of words reached its peak after the quarterfinals:
The Irish national team narrowly eliminated the United States team in the game, stopping them in the quarterfinals.
In particular, Irish Seeker Aidan Linzi, for the first time in a tournament, used the 'Stark Breaking Press' feint.
In the middle of a four-man bag, he escaped in a thrilling way and caught the Golden Snitch.
Whether it is the shame of Five-Eight, or Lynch's play, or even the recent war of words, it has made American fans extremely angry.
That night, they kidnapped the Leprechaun, the mascot of the Irish Quidditch team.
It's worth it!
This time you kidnapped the little leprechaun, so won't it be Miss Meiwa next time?
For a time, fans from all over the world were furious.
Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, personally led the team and seized a large number of American wizards.
The Magical Congress of America didn't take advantage of it, and searched and searched, so it had to focus on William and Hermione.
Albania has been destroyed in the forest, and they don't dare to let out a fart, but we are not afraid of the big empire!
The Magical Congress of the United States, acting as a savior, began to stand up for Albania, demanding that Stark and Granger compensate for the precious tree species that were burned.
Involving two celebrities who have been in the limelight recently, details about Albania have been constantly leaked.
Of course, it was more of an Auror's testimony, and there was no substantial evidence.
Only then did everyone realize that Stark and Granger had left Venice and had gone on another trip to Albania.
The extensive traces of destruction were indeed eye-catching.
Before William could speak, the Italian Minister of Magic, Gawain, jumped out to accuse the United States...... Listening to the wind is rain.
France also began to take the initiative, mocking the Magical Congress of the United States, idle, and interfering in the internal affairs of other Ministries of Magic.
This is typical of not taking the International Federation of Wizards seriously.
Not to mention giving face to Dumbledore, the president of the Federation.
Kerrigan even wrote to William, asking him when he would go to the United States, destroying New York first and Washington first.
Merlin, your sister's!
I'm a city destroyer!
Several Ministries of Magic tore up in the mainstream newspapers of various countries, and you went back and forth, mocking each other, and exposing the black history.
I didn't know that I thought that the First Wizarding World War was about to break out.
And the fuse is undoubtedly that fire.
William, as one of the parties involved, was still wandering leisurely around the camp.
Idle and have nothing to do...... Lose money on the surface, and cut leeks secretly.
In front of a house-elf, William was asking how many couriers she had delivered today, and the shoulder on the left side suddenly gave someone a heavy pat.
He turned his head to see that there was no one, and when he turned to the other side, there was still no one.
William feigned surprise.
Soon, a little silver-haired girl squatting on the ground jumped up and laughed, "Are you scared?" ”
William squinted and smiled, the corners of his mouth curled, and asked in French, "Gabrielle, why are you alone, your sister Fleur?" ”
Gabrielle's eyes widened as she stared at the villain, who only asked her sister and didn't care about her.
Because she was so excited, he didn't have the slightest emotion to meet again after a long absence!
William was scratching his head.
Who messed with you, Gabrielle?
