Not long after Fudge left, Connor walked into the Three Broomsticks with two bags of candy.

"So the person you are looking for this time is the Minister of Magic?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Kyle said with a smile, "Fudge came to persuade me to drop out of school. He wants me to become the next Minister of Magic now."

When Kanna heard the first half of the sentence, she panicked for a moment, but when she heard the second half, she suddenly came to her senses and threw the bag of multi-flavored beans at Kyle, saying unhappily, "Then why don't you go? Mr. Youngest Minister."

"No, I actually refused." Kyle took the Duoweiduo with a smile, "The Minister of Magic is so boring, the work is more than the fifth grade homework, and it's not interesting at all."

"As if you can really become one." Kanna bluntly exposed Kyle's words.

"Well, I can't be one," said Kell, "but Professor Dumbledore can be one."

"What?" Connor blinked in confusion, "Professor Dumbledore is running for Minister of Magic?"

"We have to make Fudge feel a little threatened, right?" Kyle picked up a multi-flavored bean and put it in his mouth, "so that he won't always try to trip us up."

Then, Kyle briefly recounted the plan he and Dumbledore had discussed previously.

"You want Fudge to think this is Professor Dumbledore's conspiracy?"

Connor frowned after hearing this. "But if this happens, he will definitely get worse. Professor Snape told me that Fudge is very power-hungry. He values ​​the position of Minister more than anything else. He will definitely not let Professor Dumbledore take it away from him."

"Don't worry, no one will compete with him for it. Remember what I just said? This is just an illusion to make him feel a sense of crisis."

Kyle explained: "Our original purpose was to deal with the mysterious man who had made a comeback, and the Ministry of Magic was the most important force that could not be ignored.

"But Fudge has been vehemently denying this fact because he is afraid... or doesn't want to get himself into trouble."

"That's true." Kanna couldn't help but nodded.

Throughout the holiday, the Daily Prophet has been emphasizing that the You-Know-Who has not been resurrected and that what Dumbledore said before was crazy.

So much so that by the second month, she was too lazy to read the newspaper anymore.

"So you lied to Fudge and told him that a wartime Minister for Magic could be re-elected?"

"No, this is true." Kyle shook his head. "For example, Minister Hector Welfare, who is about to expire, was driven out of office because Grindelwald started the war. He has been in that position for fifteen years, but he himself has always ignored the threat that Grindelwald posed to the entire wizarding world, and that is why he was driven out of office."

"Grindelwald?" Connor repeated in a low voice. She seemed to have heard of this name, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Well, the Dark Lord before the mysterious man caused unrest in the whole of Europe, including North America." Kyle said, "But in the end he was defeated by Professor Dumbledore."

"But..." Connor continued, "As far as I know, when the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters were in power, the Ministry of Magic also changed two ministers."

"It's different. They were driven down because they were too incompetent to solve the trouble caused by the mysterious man." Kyle explained: "If they did well enough, even if they were just mediocre, they could stay."

"Okay." Kanna nodded. She had never really cared about this before.

At this time, more and more people came to the Three Broomsticks. All the tables were full, and some people were standing there looking for empty seats.

Soon they noticed the spot in the corner, and a few Hufflepuff sixth years walked over.

"Let's go back," Kanna suggested.

There are too many people here now, and it is hard to guarantee that if I continue talking, others will not hear me. It will be troublesome if it gets out.

"Okay." Kyle nodded.

The two of them stood up, said hello to the classmates who came over, and then walked out of the Three Broomsticks.

Because it was not yet noon, the way back to school was very quiet, and there was no one else except them.

The two continued with their previous topic.

"What do you think the minister will do? Will he believe you?"

"I don't know." Kyle shook his head, "But what is certain is that he won't believe it immediately. During this period of time, he will probably target Professor Dumbledore first."

"Aren't you worried that he will put your words in the newspaper? Telling everyone that the so-called resurrection of the mysterious man is a conspiracy by Dumbledore to become the Minister of Magic."

"This is the only thing I'm not worried about at all." Kyle smiled and shook his head. "Since the day Fudge became the Minister, he has been worried that Professor Dumbledore would take his position. Because he knows in his heart that he is far inferior to Professor Dumbledore in terms of popularity or ability.

"So no matter what, he would never make this public. Let's put it this way, regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or not, as long as Professor Dumbledore really wants to be the Minister, countless people will immediately choose to support him.

"Fudge will not cause trouble for himself. Of course, the most important point is... if he wants to run for re-election, he will also choose to suppress this matter and only target Professor Dumbledore."

Connor nodded as if she understood. The gate of Hogwarts was in front of her, and she suddenly thought of something.

"What if Fudge doesn't want to be re-elected and really asks you to prove in the newspaper that the mysterious man has not been resurrected and Professor Dumbledore is lying?" she asked.

"Then I'll be embarrassed." Kyle spread his hands and said with a smile: "But the probability of this happening is too low. If Fudge really does this, I will look up to him."

"But what if it really happens... wouldn't you just be standing against Professor Dumbledore?"

Kanna said worriedly, "And with your joining, people will be even less likely to believe that the mysterious man has been resurrected."

"And Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout...will they misunderstand you?"

"No, that won't happen." Kyle looked up at the two winged warthogs on the gate. "If that happens, I'll just have to use the Oblivion Charm again."

"Use the Oblivion Charm again?" Kanna asked in confusion, "You used the Oblivion Charm just now?"

"Not just now, I used it once when I was put in detention by Umbridge." Kyle said, "It worked pretty well..."

The two talked as they walked through the school gates and along the grounds towards the castle.
