Seeing Fuggy coming back, Rufus Scrimgeour immediately came forward and asked:
"Minister, what did the witch say?"
Fudge just sighed and did not answer Rufus Scrimgeour's question. Instead, he cast his gaze towards the wizards of the Ministry of Magic behind him and shouted:
"Amos, come here!"
Amos Diggory, who was originally looking at Cedric nervously, only heard Fuggy's call after being reminded by his colleague, and hurried to Fuggy's side.
Fuggy looked at Amos Diggory in front of him and said apologetically, "Amos, is the child held hostage by the Witch Party your son?"
All the wizards present had seen what Amos Diggory had done just now, so Fudge didn't have to think too much to know whose son Cedric was.
When Amos Diggory heard what Fuggy said, tears immediately flowed down his face. Amos Diggory said with tears in his eyes:
"Yes, Minister, Cedric is my son! He is an excellent young man! Last year, as a first-year student at Hogwarts, he achieved O in all subjects. He will definitely become an excellent Auror in the future!"
At this point, Amos Diggory choked up and pleaded: "Minister Foggy, you must save him!"
Hearing Amos Diggory's words, Fuggy felt relieved. He was afraid that Amos Diggory would shout out: My son died fighting for the Ministry of Magic, it was his honor.
Seeing Amos Diggory so emotional, Fuggy hugged Amos Diggory in his arms and said tremblingly: "Of course, Amos, you have worked in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, and everyone has seen what kind of person you are! No one will doubt that your son will definitely be an elite of the Ministry of Magic in the future! But..."
At this point, Fuggy stopped talking suddenly, and when Amos Diggory saw Fuggy's sad expression, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
Amos Diggory, his face covered with tears, asked timidly: "But what? Mr. Minister?"
Fudge was silent for a moment, then he forced out a sad expression and said, "But now the Wizarding Party wants to take him as a hostage to exchange for the Wizarding Party wizards arrested by our Ministry of Magic. I'm sorry, as the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, I cannot agree to their request, so your son may very well..."
Before Fuggy could finish his words, Amos Diggory felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Amid the exclamations of the surrounding wizards from the Ministry of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour fortunately helped him up, preventing Amos Diggory from fainting on the ground.
Fu Ji was also startled! He screamed in his heart: Don’t faint yet! Wait until you finish the scene with me before you faint!
This sudden change attracted the wizards from the Ministry of Magic behind him to gather around. Afterwards, Fudge told the other wizards from the Ministry of Magic about Rosier's conditions. Only then did everyone know why Amos Diggory suddenly fainted.
At the same time, many wizards from the Ministry of Magic at the scene only understood at this time the real reason for the outbreak of the war.
At this time, with the help of Rufus Scrimgeour, Amos Diggory finally recovered.
"No! Minister! You can't do this! He's still a child! He is the best student in Hogwarts! He will also be the future elite of our British Ministry of Magic! You can't watch him die here, Minister!"
Seeing Amos Diggory crying in front of them, many wizards in the Ministry of Magic had tears in their eyes. After all, they were colleagues who had been together for decades, and many of them had even watched Cedric grow up. They were not plants or trees, so who could be heartless? At this time, one of the wizards in the Ministry of Magic suddenly stood up and said to Fudge: "Minister! We can't watch a little wizard die in front of our eyes! If we can't even protect a child, how can we make the wizards believe that we can protect the British wizarding world?"
As soon as the wizard finished speaking, many of the wizards around him immediately nodded in agreement.
When Fu Ji heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but he secretly said, "Beautiful!" But on the surface, Fu Ji said with a tangled look on his face:
"You're right Arthur, but it's really hard to get that child back safely!"
Having said that, Fugui turned his head and looked at Rufus Scrimgeour beside him, and asked:
"Rufus Scrimgeour, if the Aurors take action at all costs, even if I allow you to use the Unforgivable Curses first, are you sure you can bring the child back safely?"
Rufus Scrimgeour glanced at Auston Greengrass, who was pointing his wand at Cedric behind him, then glanced at the Wiccan wizards who were eyeing them covetously, frowned, and slowly shook his head.
Seeing this, Fuggy sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Amos! It's the Ministry of Magic that's sorry for you! You've worked so hard for the Ministry for so many years, but we can't even save your son. I apologize to you!"
Hearing Fuggy's answer, Amos Diggory looked at Cedric with despair.
At this moment, Arthur Weasley stood up again and said righteously:
"Minister Fu Ji, if we sit back and watch a little wizard being killed in front of us, then everyone present will be a murderer!"
Well said! Hearing Arthur Weasley's words, Fuggy gave Arthur Weasley a thumbs up in his heart! But on the surface, he showed a hint of hesitation. Seeing this, Arthur Weasley continued:
"Minister Fu Ji, there is one more thing that you may not have figured out."
Hearing Arthur Weasley's words, Fuggy said with some confusion: "Oh? Mr. Weasley, please tell me in detail."
Arthur Weasley glanced at Rosier who was fearless on the other side, and said meaningfully: "Minister Fudge, fighting against the Wizarding Party is not just the business of our British Ministry of Magic! There is no reason for our British Ministry of Magic to bear such a huge loss alone! Even if we really go to war with the Wizarding Party, it should be a joint action of the Ministries of Magic of various countries!"
"Moreover, if we really need to pay a huge price in casualties to defeat the Witch Party today, then who will guarantee the safety of the British wizarding world from today onwards? The dark wizards in Britain are not just the Witch Party!"
