Chapter 188: Persuading Fudge(2)

Still she left the office none the less and shut the door behind her as she did so. Fudge dropped the friendly appearance immediately "I have gotten some rather unappealing information from Dumbledore about something you are planning to do that makes the ministry look bad so explain yourself." he said clearly unhappy with Nick. "How would it make the ministry look bad to give the wizarding world some positive news for a change?" Nick asked with a crafty grin. Fudge looked surprised but interested none the less so Nick continued to share his plan with the man to corrupt/convince him.-

"The ministry makes shocking discovery and fixes a mistake all while setting the head of the black family free and putting away the actual criminal. Think of the positive light this sort of thing would shine on you , the minister who orchestrated the whole thing. Praise from both muggleborn and pureblood wizards and you could also run it as a more just ministry under your leadership." Nick said tempting Fudge with a beautiful picture. The man was nothing if not political however "And what do you get out of this besides the backing of the Black family name?" Fudge asked concerned.-

"Not a thing besides my best friend getting someone who actually cares about him to take care of him." Nick said honestly which wasn't a lie as he really didn't need Sirius for anything else as he has wealth , reputation and political power by his heritage alone. The only thing he truly lacked was power but he was already rapidly traveling down that road as well so he was good to go. Fudge was taken back by this response but saw that Nick didn't seem to be lying and accepted it at face value.-

The ghost in question was equally confused at Nick's presence but after he explained the efficiency of the capture and political nonsense afterward she didn't care anymore. "What do you need me for though?" she asked confused why he came to get her and Steve who was hanging out in a comfy transfigured pocket in Nicks shirt. The pockets entrance was big enough for the niffler to stick it's head through and look around but not enough for it to escape and go on a thieving spree should it get that inevitable urge.
