Chapter 542 Former Principal (modified, sincere thanks to the leader Tengu Bailang)
A big Auror sneaked around behind Dumbledore, pointed his wand at Dumbledore, who had his back turned, and said softly: "Expelliarmus." However, his spell seemed to hit an invisible wall. The wall was an iron armor spell cast by Dumbledore, and the headmaster himself didn't even lift a finger.
"Don't be stupid, Deluxe," Dumbledore turned around and said kindly, "I'm sure you are an excellent Auror. I remember that your n.e.w.t. examination results seemed to be excellent. But if you want to arrest me with violence, I have no choice but to be rude to you."
"He will never fight alone!" Professor McGonagall shouted. She continued to hold Harry Potter with one hand, and the other hand had already reached into his robes.
"Minerva, Hogwarts needs you." Dumbledore gave McGonagall a stern look that made her give up.
Then in the blink of an eye, Dumbledore's petrifying spell hit a big wizard who was quietly approaching him. His hand kept reaching for his pocket, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Minister, I'm here to protect you." Percy Weasley stood in front of Fudge, who looked frightened, with a firm look on his face.
"Weasley, I know you are the most loyal." Fudge jumped and patted Percy on the shoulder.
Percy seemed to be trembling with excitement. He pulled out his wand and tried to attack Dumbledore, but the opponent was faster than him. Percy's eyes rolled up and he fell backwards, pressing Fudge behind him. Falling to the ground, Percy's lips touched Fudge's bark-like cheeks heavily, and then his lips slid along the muscles of Fudge's face to his neck, leaving a wet trail.
"Minister of Protection." Umbridge opened her eyes wide and shouted loudly. The Aurors around her ran towards Fudge, but Umbridge herself retreated faster than anyone else. She knew in her heart that Dumbledore was He was about to violently resist arrest. If there was anyone who was hated by Dumbledore the most in this matter, it must be him. After all, she had arranged the whole thing. If Dumbledore wanted to take revenge on her, she would definitely be unable to resist, so it was better to protect herself first.
Dumbledore waved his wand quickly. Wherever the tip of the wand pointed, someone would always fall down. However, the curses that the Aurors attacked Dumbledore were blocked by the armor curse in front of him, and the collision caused them to fall. Colorful brilliance.
Fudge's flabby cheeks twitched unconsciously. He used his sleeve to wipe away the traces of drool on his face, knocked Percy Weasley to the ground, and got up in embarrassment.
Flashes of spells swirled around the room, and the blown spells hit the wall. Several portraits were shouting, Fawkes screamed, the air was filled with dust, and the director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, brought by Fudge, was Lin Jie and the Aurors he brought were knocked away one by one and fell to the ground.
Umbridge, who had been hiding among the students, was also caught by Dumbledore from the air. She screamed and flailed her hands and feet, trying to catch something or else she would float, but in the end she was just spinning in the air. Being thrown at the feet of the Minister of Magic Fudge, "Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Dolores Jane Umbridge, I will leave the school, but I don't want you to inappropriately punish this group of students, Otherwise, I will come to you personally to correct your wrong decision."
Umbridge, who had been swallowed up by the fear created by the greatest white wizard in the world, trembled and nodded desperately. Her face turned red, as if there was a large pot of boiling water in her body. For the first time, she understood In this world, power is nothing when it competes with absolute power.
Fudge got up and stared at Dumbledore dumbfounded, as if he had been hit hard. He couldn't believe that such a thing had really happened. Faced with Dumbledore's threat, he could only run away. He let out a sob that was almost inaudible.
Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction. He raised his wand to help Marietta Exmo solve the purple pustules on her face and return her to normal. However, the more fierce regret and shame made Marietta even more afraid. Exposing her face, she just continued to bury it in her hands.
"Poor girl, I can't help you more." Dumbledore couldn't help but think that the students around him who he deliberately avoided harming when casting the spell and the TV reporters made Dumbledore unable to cast Forget on Marietta. Protect her by using a spell or modifying her memory to make her forget about snitching.
"I will not hide, and I guarantee you that Fudge will soon wish he had never tried to kick me out of the school." With a determined smile, Dumbledore waved Fawkes to circle in the corridor, Then it flew low over him.
Dumbledore raised a hand and grasped the phoenix's long golden tail. With a flash of flame, the two of them disappeared.
the next day.
"Yesterday, the Ministry of Magic discovered an illegal assembly organization called Dumbledore's Army at Hogwarts. Regarding this, the former Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Percival Wulfric, Brian Dumbledore, confessed It goes without saying that this was a rebel organization that he personally formed to plot to overthrow the British Ministry of Magic. And after Dumbledore was arrested on the order of Minister Fudge, he defeated all the Aurors and violently resisted arrest... The following is what our TV crew was saying at that time Video recorded on site.”
Following Fleur's crisp report, the edited video appeared on Wizarding TV. The video completely avoided Dumbledore's warning or benevolent actions, and only focused on how Dumbledore behaved. The scene where he admitted that he organized the army to carry out some conspiracy, resisted arrest with force, and defeated Ministry of Magic officials and Aurors one after another made him look like a hypocrite who had torn off his usual disguise and looked like A complete danger.
Public opinion was abuzz. In Hogwarts Castle, no matter where you went, you could hear people talking about Dumbledore's escape.
The young wizards who participated in D.A. knew very well that Dumbledore took the blame for them, or more specifically for Harry Potter, allowing them to avoid being expelled and instead be placed in solitary confinement and use Umri. China's infamous corporal punishment was to write a quill check as punishment.
The unknowing wizards, fueled by the abridged and deliberately guided information, firmly believed that Dumbledore was a dangerous person and a conspirator, who was definitely not as kind as he appeared, and formed an army in order to secretly develop his power.
Even some wizards who were originally neutral or even had some favorable impressions of Dumbledore began to suspect that he was the same as Fudge, Umbridge and other Ministry of Magic officials. They were all politicians with their own goals.
