Rita Skeeter picked up the parchment and glanced at it a few times with a puzzled expression, the expression on her face suddenly froze, and then changed to a shocked color.

"It's... Is this true? Rita Skeeter's tone was very strange, and it was impossible to tell whether it was excitement or panic, or both.

"I can assure you, it's true! We've captured Peter Pettigrew and found the Mark of the Dark Devil on his left arm. ”

Ivan nodded, then chuckled again. "I guess that's good news material, right? I'm afraid I'll need to print a few more copies of tomorrow's Daily Prophet..."

Rita Skeeter's parchment-clutching hands were shaking, and from the news editor's instinct, she could imagine what a sensation it would be if such news went viral!

However, then Rita Skeeter seemed to realize something, and her excited expression suddenly cooled.

"What's wrong?" Ivan keenly noticed the change in Rita Skeeter's expression, and asked in confusion.

"You should know, I'm just a small newspaper reporter, and I can write articles for publication in the Daily Prophet, but only if they pass the review of the editor-in-chief... They won't let me say anything bad to the Ministry of Magic...", Rita Skeeter replied disappointed, holding her eyes.

As a journalist, Rita Skeeter is interested in this kind of heavyweight news material, but she knows exactly what she can and can't write about after years in the industry.

Like the gossip news of some well-known wizards, the chaotic private life of a high-ranking official, are all content that can be reported.

And if Sirius's matter is reported this time, it will be the entire Ministry of Magic that will be attacked, and it will be easy to get into unnecessary trouble.

She didn't want to lose her job at the newspaper she loved...

Rita Skeeter's attitude surprised Ivan a little, he thought about it carefully, and soon understood the other party's concerns.

Ivan crossed his hands on the table and stared at Rita Skeeter with his blue eyes under half-moon glasses, as Dumbledore had done.

Rita Skeeter suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

She had been worried that the Ministry of Magic might liquidate herself, but now she suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not a simple character, but the strongest and most prestigious wizard in the wizarding world today.

The other party pinched himself to death like pinching a bedbug to death...

Just when Rita Skeeter was in a dilemma, Ivan suddenly spoke up. "Do you think Fudge will be able to stay in that position after this incident?"

"What?" Rita Skeeter didn't react for a while.

"I've informed some of my old friends in the Inquisition to try this case, and even if I don't have your report, I can relay it to many wizarding families through the Hogwarts students, and the news should have gotten out by now...", Ivan continued to himself.

Ivan's steady tone was transmitted to Rita Skeeter's ears, but it set off a shocking wave, her pupils constricted, and she looked at the seemingly kind centenarian in front of her in disbelief, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her heart...

She keenly felt that she was in a big maelstrom, and even regretted coming here today.

Of course, Rita Skeeter knew what the other party meant.

That was to tell himself plainly that the other party intended to use this incident to oust Minister of Magic Fudge from power, and had a very complete plan.

Whether or not the Daily Prophet is willing to help or not doesn't affect the overall situation, but if they don't satisfy the strongest white wizard this time, they will most likely be liquidated in the future...

It took Rita Skeeter several minutes to digest the information thoroughly, and she swallowed and couldn't help but ask.

"Are you really going to take on the position of Minister of Magic?"

Ivan didn't answer directly, but faintly stated that he was unhappy with the recent performance of the Ministry of Magic...

In fact, Ivan did not tell a lie either, which is exactly his attitude towards the Ministry of Magic.

Both the original plane and the current Ministry of Magic are equally corrupt and incompetent, as can be seen in the fact that the Dementors broke into the Quidditch pitch out of control.

Instead of thinking about what to do, the officials sent by the Ministry of Magic prevaricated for all sorts of inexplicable reasons, trying to deny the Dementors' out-of-control attacks on the students...

This repeated self-deception made Ivan very annoyed.

There is no need for a chaotic Ministry of Magic to exist, so he wants to see if he can take this opportunity to knock Fudge down and replace Dumbledore as the Minister of Magic.

It's not impossible!

One of the important reasons why Dumbledore was so passive in the face of the suppression of the Ministry of Magic in the original time and space was that when it was confirmed that Voldemort had been resurrected, the old headmaster did not want to engage in internal friction with the Ministry of Magic...

Coupled with the fact that he is a rule-abiding person, he will be reduced to the point of being forced to leave the school temporarily in the face of the natural weakness of the Ministry of Magic.

I don't have that many constraints now...

Although Ivan didn't say much, Rita Skeeter knew what he meant, and after a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Good! I can write about it! ”

Rita Skeeter immediately made a judgment, just a Sirius who was mistakenly imprisoned in Azkaban was certainly not enough to affect Minister Fudge's position, but if Dumbledore was behind it, it would not be necessarily.

And Rita Skeeter didn't forget that the other party was still holding her handle, so she didn't have a choice from beginning to end!

Thinking of this, Rita Skeeter hated that nasty little ghost, who had promised her not to tell anyone else about her being an illegal Animagus...

"Wise choice!" Ivan said appreciatively.

As the two reached an agreement, the atmosphere in the room was no longer so depressing, but very harmonious, and Rita Skeeter even took the initiative to ask Ying to find the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, and worked with Ivan to persuade the other party to agree to make a statement against the Ministry of Magic.

After more than an hour, Ivan looked at the two people who left the guest room and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Getting the support of the Daily Prophet was an important part of Ivan's plan, and it was not as trivial as he had previously claimed.

The threat to become Minister of Magic was not made out of his own bad taste, but simply to appease Rita Skeeter and the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, so that the other party would be willing to take his side.

And that's exactly what he's going to surprise Dumbledore, if the old professor comes back late, get ready to be the new Minister of Magic...
