As Lucius expected, Forge had his own purpose when he came to Malfoy's estate - although it seemed that he was just trying to bring sad news to Lucius, and when talking about Draco, Lucius, who had been watching him performing quietly, knew very well that the minister's fundamental purpose was never to give him an obituary.

And as Fudge talked about Dumbledore's fault, Lucius also noticed the real content of this guy's words.

Fudge wants to get Dumbledore out of school.

Haha, the strong desire for power.

Lucius, who knew Foggy well, knew very well that this guy became the Minister of Magic not because of his skill or outstanding ability. If he had to say that Foggy had any advantages... he probably had luck.

After all, Voldemort's idiot came to power and killed a lot of people after he fell, and he was involved in this mess. Someone had to deal with it - so Foggy was pushed to the table as a balance object.

It is not a puppet, but a balance object. He does have power in his hands, but this power can only be used to balance the power vacuum after Voldemort's fall.

Although in theory Fudge is the highest leader in the magic world in England, his words work... he is really a younger brother who can only go a little further.

Dumbledore is a mountain that is pressing over Fudge's head. Now he finally has a chance, how could he give up?

Faced with Foggy's bewitching, Lucius only maintained the most basic politeness. While playing the role of a grieving father (which is also considered a true character), he was estimating the limit that Foggy could achieve.

After a long detour, Forge finally expressed his opinion in front of Lucius: I sympathize with your experience, but Dumbledore was in Hogwarts with one hand. I plan to uphold justice and drive Dumbledore down.

That's roughly what it means.

As for how to uphold justice...

"The Ministry of Magic will soon come up with opinions on this." Fudge obviously hasn't been able to completely solve the internal affairs of the Ministry of Magic. "But this time the matter is very serious. Even Dumbledore cannot easily shirk responsibility."

"So, Mr. Minister." Lucius looked at Foggy who was talking loudly in front of him and spoke in a low tone. "I really want to know what happened in this process-I think I should go to Hogwarts next, after all... I am also a member of the school board."

Fudge was a little stunned - he thought Lucius would be dazzled by anger and then become a sword that he stabbed Dumbledore, but unexpectedly, he actually showed his intention to bypass him!

This is not what Fudge expected to see!

But facing Lucius' request to go to Hogwarts, Fudge had no means to stop him - so he could only watch Lucius pick up his cane and disappear into his own fireplace.

………………………………………

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was waiting for Lucius' arrival.

The greatest white magician knew very well that the most difficult person to deal with in this incident was here.

"Lucius." Dumbledore gave up his previous attitude, "I am willing to bear the consequences of this matter."

"Take it?" A sneering sneer appeared on the corner of Lucius's mouth, "You mean, do you take it?"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded, "My wrong judgment has led to the tragedy to a certain extent..."

"Take off that damn 'a certain degree'." Lucius threw away his demeanor and leaned directly at Dumbledore's table. "It's you, the test of your idiot-like savior, has caused all the problems - don't try to hide it from me, Dobby has told me everything!"

“…”

Dumbledore looked at the aggressive Lucius and had an unknown premonition in his heart - could the house elf have any key information?

It’s not that Dumbledore forgot Dobby, because the house elf completely lost the ability to communicate in self-blame, so Dumbledore could only let him stay in the secret room and cry alone...

Could it be that during the time he left, he returned to Malfoy Manor and told Lucius what he had told?

It's finished!

Dumbledore thought well before, as long as he blocked Carl, Hermione and Snape's mouths, death could be pushed to Voldemort, whether it was Ron or Malfoy.

But now...

Dobby told Lucius the news, and Ron's affairs could not be hidden!

As long as Ron’s actions are made public, the Weasley family will probably suffer a catastrophe!

This is not a joke - although the Weasleys, who were excluded by the pure blood family, have improved with the adult family situation of Charlie and Bill, if Ron's incident was made public, the Weasleys would be labeled as "betrayer".

After all... I deliberately used the transformation technique to transform Muggle weapons for the sake of the Philosopher's Stone, and then took action against my professor. This matter has completely fallen below the bottom line.

"Doby will not refuse to use the squirt." Lucius narrowed his eyes, "and everything the dirty Weasleys do will appear on the headlines of the Prophet Daily tomorrow!"

"Lucius..." Dumbledore seemed to have grown ten years older, "Ron's mistake should not affect his family-"

"Then should I bear the pain of losing Draco?!" Lucius interrupted Dumbledore mercilessly. "Those sluts can give birth to mice in the gutter, but I only have a child like Draco!"

“…”

Dumbledore fell into silence again.

There was no way, Lucius successfully seized Dumbledore's weakness - no matter what, Dumbledore had to save the Weasleys, which meant that he had to use other means to calm Lucius' anger and block his mouth.

"Mr. Dumbledore." Lucius looked at Dumbledore who seemed to have accepted his defeat in front of him and snorted coldly, "The school director needs to hold a meeting to discuss the candidate for the new principal."

“…”

During the silence, Dumbledore finally nodded - he could ignore Fudge's threat and the unspoken rules of the school, but facing Lucius, who lost his son and grasped the truth at that time, Dumbledore had no room for resistance.
Chapter completed!
