v3 Chapter 142： Tom skipping class

"This is the latest reform of the Ministry of Magic, replacing the owls that deliver letters with these paper airplanes," Fudge proudly showed off his achievements to Dumbledore, "The previous group of owls made the Ministry of Magic full of bird shit. , not now..."

He opened the paper plane and read the message on it. After he read this sentence, he froze in place. The text on the paper plane gave Fudge the feeling of being slapped with a sap.

"What's the matter?" Dumbledore saw that Fudge's condition was wrong, and asked him kindly.

"Peter Pettigrew ran away..." Fudge replied mechanically, blinded.

Dumbledore:  …

He patted Fudge on the shoulder in comfort, and left silently.

Dumbledore felt guilty for Fudge. Because he is very clear about this plan, it can even be said that he has contributed a lot to it.

As the Minister of Magic, Fudge has been making small moves in recent years, but he has not made any big mistakes, but he is planning to overthrow him... This makes Dumbledore a little uncomfortable.

But it's just painful!

Because Dumbledore had to use a phrase he hated so much: for the greater good. Between Fudge and Voldemort, Dumbledore chose Voldemort without hesitation. In order to destroy Voldemort, Dumbledore can even sacrifice himself, what does it mean to sacrifice a Fudge?

In order to destroy Voldemort, Fudge could only be wronged.

It was Tom who stopped Peter Pettigrew halfway.

He found the dementors guarding Peter in advance and ordered them to install two stealth smoke bombs on the carriage - this is a new invention of Fred and George, which will emit a lot of smoke after use, so that the surrounding vision is completely blocked. Covering, and the smoke is very choking, it also has a certain stun effect, which can effectively interfere with the opponent's use of magic to fight back.

Fox took him with him, all the way to the back of the carriage. Tom was cautious and did not attack until the carriage flew out of the British Isles.

He first summoned the Patronus, and the younger brothers who had already been informed fled in all directions. The acting was very realistic. Then he detonated the smoke bomb in the carriage, opened the door when the car became a mess, and dragged Peter out. , and then rode the Fox and disappeared without a trace.

Tom's movements were very fast. It took less than thirty seconds from summoning the Patronus to stealing Peter. If it was counted from the detonation of the smoke bomb, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

Even Kingsley didn't respond.

After Tom left, Kingsley and Tonks in the carriage fell silent.

"What are we going to do, Kingsley, I feel like my head is going to explode!" Tonks just felt blank and didn't know what to do.

Kingsley wanted to say something, but he also felt a whirlwind, and the things in front of him were a bit doubled. The Auror's intuition told him that something was wrong, the smoke just now was poisonous! So he first made a slit in his thigh, using the excruciating pain to keep himself awake, then he grabbed Tonks' hand, tried to concentrate, and Apparated away from the carriage.

With a bang, Kingsley and Tonks suddenly appeared in a small alley in Westminster, London. The two sat down against the graffiti-covered wall, breathing in the fresh air, and quietly waiting for the dizziness in their heads to subside.

When their heads were clear, they struggled to stand up, walked into the Ministry of Magic, and reported the abduction of Peter.

Soon, the news caused an uproar. Fudge didn't try to hide the news either -- it couldn't be hidden at all! He unleashed all the Aurors, Strikers, and searched for Peter along the way, but found nothing.

In fact, when Fudge saw the news of Peter's escape, he knew that the probability of finding Peter was very small. A wizard who wants to escape is not something that can be caught immediately. He might turn into all sorts of weird camouflages, he might ride a Floo network, he might use a shapeshifter. Maybe when Kingsley and the others returned to the Ministry of Magic, Peter had already landed in Normandy.

Even more deadly, he was taken away. This plunged Fudge into a deep fear: Who would be interested in Peter? Undoubtedly, the Mysterious Man remains. What is the purpose of the Mysterious Man Remnant? Let the man whose name can't be said make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Fudge couldn't help shivering.

"What should I do...what should I do?" He turned twice, suddenly thinking that he should ask Dumbledore! Why not ask the great Dumbledore?

So he hurriedly went to Dumbledore, only to learn that he had returned to Hogwarts. Hearing this news, Fudge shook his body and almost fell to the ground.

Now he is as if his bones have been removed, and he has completely lost his strength and fighting spirit.

All this was seen by Amelia Burns. After the initial panic, she came back to her senses and realized that it was probably Dumbledore's ghost - Peter should have been kidnapped by his men Gone, may have been dealt with by now.

She was shocked but also knew that the best time for her had come. She just needs to wait with peace of mind, and when Fudge is sure she can't find Peter Pettigrew, she can initiate an impeachment, which can oust Fudge from office with a certain degree of certainty, and then she will naturally become the new Minister of Magic!

Looking at Fudge sitting in a dazed seat, Amelia Burns gave her cronies a wink and called them aside.

Fudge was unaware of Amelia Burns' little gesture, and no one knew what he was thinking.

...

"Where is this guy Tom?" Hermione sat outside the classroom with her schoolbag in a huff. In the first class this morning, Tom skipped class. Fortunately, Professor Lupin did not teach a new class today, but just summed up the knowledge points learned before.

"I hope you don't have a big meal during the Christmas holidays, and you also want to review what you learned in the first half of the semester," he said.

Hermione thought that Tom might not get up in the morning, so she simply skipped the first class, but she never imagined that the first get out of class was over, and Tom still had no shadow!

"If this guy dares to skip the whole morning's class at once, I must give him some color!" Hermione clenched her fists and made up her mind: I must not get used to this guy anymore, and I will give him some punishment. It might be a good idea to forbid Tom to look at the Defence Against the Dark Arts notes he's compiled today.

Where is Tom at this time? He was in the principal's office, accompanied by Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black.
