v4 Chapter 112： Umbridge's funeral

"Of course, fried tail snails are extremely delicious food!" In Rita Skeeter's skeptical eyes, Tom swears that there is no reptile ingredient more delicious than fried tail snail meat.

Of course this is nonsense. Fried-tailed snails are indeed delicious when they are larvae, but these mature fried-tailed snails are not necessarily so. The bigger the animal is, the more delicious it is. For fish such as mackerel, too large size may cause the meat to not be fresh and tender.

The same goes for fried tail snails.

Seeing Rita's skeptical look, Tom added, "Look, they look like lobsters!"

Rita stared at the fried tail snails for a long time and couldn't make a connection between them and the lobster, even though both had thick carapaces.

"Well, it may be some kind of lobster-like food." Rita's eyes wandered around the students who were watching, and those students she saw stood up and proved that the fried tail snails were indeed delicious.

Rita Skeeter:  …

Hagrid: ? ? ?

He was the most confused person. How could he not know that the fried tail snails he raised were delicious?

With so many people testifying, Rita also believed Tom's nonsense.

But no matter how delicious the fried tail snails are, it means nothing to Rita Skeeter. She wants to make big news! But the trivial matter of a new ingredient being discovered certainly doesn't make the headlines, especially at this special time.

So she waved her hand and left with regret. Before she left, she asked Tom several times if she wanted to be interviewed by him, but she was all rejected by Tom.

The reason why Rita is under great pressure is that the front page of the Daily Prophet has been completely occupied by the attempted robbery at Azkaban Prison for the past two days. The fact that Voldemort almost broke Azkaban couldn't be suppressed - Dumbledore wouldn't suppress the news, not to mention the death of an official at the Ministry of Magic.

So the Ministry of Magic got the full picture shortly after the incident. It's just that the Ministry of Magic doesn't seem to want to reveal the news of the mysterious man's involvement. According to them, they need more definite evidence, even if the witness is Dumbledore, it cannot be concluded that Voldemort is resurrected just by one-sided words.

Dumbledore was a little disappointed by the negative attitude of the Ministry of Magic. He thought he could get more support from the Ministry of Magic, but now it seems that they are the greatest help if they don't cause trouble. Dumbledore was disappointed, but Tom knew it was a pretty good result. At least the Ministry of Magic didn't launch the Daily Prophet to describe Dumbledore as a senile, out-of-mouth man. Tom can also understand the difficulties of Burns. The people below do not all listen to her, and she also has a lot of constraints within the Ministry of Magic. But it is conceivable that after Tom and Dumbledore win a few more times, these constraints will be weakened a lot.

Now that Tom and Dumbledore have the upper hand, they only need to add chips to their balances a little to get the final victory.

However, although the Ministry of Magic did not want to mention the mysterious man, it made a big report on the attempted prison robbery, held a grand funeral for Umbridge, and invited politicians from the magic world of various countries to come to mourn. Not because the Ministry of Magic held Umbridge so dear, but because funerals were a good time to hammer out various agreements.

After Rita left, Hagrid looked at Tom and asked, "Did you mean what you just said delicious?"

Tom nodded. At this time, he found that a fried tail snail was dying - it struggled too hard just now, and Hagrid threw it on the ground and was literally crushed and deformed.

"Don't you know if you try it? That fried-tailed snail is injured, and I don't think it will survive..." Tom kept inducing in Hagrid's ear.

……

Meanwhile, the halls of the Ministry of Magic were filled with veil.

"We are here today to commemorate the passing of our good colleague, Senior Deputy Minister for Magic, Special Commissioner to Azkaban, Dolores Jane Umbridge. She sacrificed for the whole of British magic. As far as the world is concerned, it is worth a full day of work stoppage to remember." The director of the Ministry of Magic's Legal Enforcement Department, Sinkenis, stood on the podium with a solemn expression.

On the stage behind him, there was a black coffin, Umbridge's body was parked inside, surrounded by flowers. Her coffin was also filled with flowers presented by various forces who came to offer condolences.

"The crazy dark wizard attacked Azkaban. Fortunately, Umbridge and all the Dementors rose up to resist, and only supported the arrival of Mr. Albus Dumbledore and successfully defended the dignity and justice of magic... The fall of Umbridge in that barren land is almost unimaginable to us wizards living in the sun..."

"It's ridiculous, even I know that the woman is just an insignificant character." A director from the French Ministry of Magic curled his lips, "If she is of a high status, how could she be sent to Azkaban? "

"The biggest achievement of her life is her death. At her funeral, we reached more agreements than the previous ten years combined." His colleagues looked calm, even a little happy. He grabbed the waiter next to him and took two glasses of champagne.

"Good death!" He summed up Umbridge's departure, "If only there could be more funerals like this!"

"The departure of Dolores will not stop us, the Ministry of Magic will continue to fight the Dark Wizards thoroughly, resolutely and forcefully under the leadership of Minister Burns , Officials at all levels must learn to understand thoroughly and work hard..."

After Sinkness's condolences ended, the wizards in the audience stopped pretending, and everyone showed up and entered the working mode.

The representatives of the Ministry of Magic of various countries quickly reached cooperation one after another, from the thickness of the crucible to the list of prohibited goods, from the visit of the embassy to the naming of magical animals, everyone talked about everything.

Old Barty Crouch, as the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, was stopped by two members of the Japanese Ministry of Magic.

"Interview?" Old Crouch frowned and pulled Percy over from one side.

"That's right, Lord General hopes to lead the mission to England for an expected three-day visit." An executive officer of the Japanese Ministry of Magic said respectfully, "If possible, Lord General hopes to visit the legend together. The Triwizard Tournament."

Percy's eyes lit up and thought this was a really good suggestion, as did his boss, Mr. Crouch. So he nodded, indicating that he had no reason to refuse.

"If Secretary Burns doesn't object, we can talk about the details of the visit..." Crouch assured.

The executive officer of the Japanese Ministry of Magic also showed a bright smile: "Of course! We are very much looking forward to it!"
