He, the Minister of Magic, will definitely be in big trouble!

Even the election for the next Minister of Magic will be affected by this.

"Don't worry, John, we will catch that mouse hiding in the dark! I can promise you that!"

Fudge finally calmed down and said seriously, "The next third project will definitely be safe, because the third project will be jointly established by Aurors from the Ministry of Magic and professors from Hogwarts.

John, I know you don't trust the Ministry of Magic, but do you have to trust the professors?

They can never harm you."

John looked at Dumbledore.

The latter nodded towards him.

Seeing this, John didn't say anything, but Fudge laughed and said:

"Okay, I've finished telling you the heavy news. Now let's talk about something that will make you happy."

Fudge pointed to the old mermaid and his daughter beside him and said, "The Ministry of Magic has approved the compensation request put forward by the mermaids of the Black Lake. Starting tomorrow, the Ministry of Magic will continue to send supplies worth fifty thousand Galleons.

Enter the Black Lake to help the mermaids rebuild their homes."

The old mermaid added.

"As a price, we will assist the Minister in filming a series of promotional videos about the Ministry of Magic's compassion and humanitarian compliance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fudge started coughing violently, trying to remind the old mermaid that these words were not allowed to be said.

However, the old mermaid ignored him at all, but smiled and said to John:

"I would also like to thank Mr. John Shafik. If it weren't for him, our merfolk's casualties would probably be even greater! Therefore, Mr. Minister, don't exchange all the fifty thousand Galleons for supplies. Twenty-five thousand Galleons of it

Just give it directly to Mr. John Shafiq in cash!”

"You don't have to be like this."

John said calmly.

"Please don't refuse, John, this is our sincere thanks to you."

The old mermaid said with a smile.

John didn't say anything more after hearing this.

He had already guessed it.

The old mermaid must have used a lot of help from him and Dumbledore when negotiating with Fudge. This was a reward for sharing the spoils.

The distribution of benefits is completed.

Fudge couldn't wait to take the old mermaid and ran to the Black Lake to film the first round of interviews.

His gold galleons are not that easy to get.

At the same time, Dumbledore and Snape continued to discuss the safety of the third project.

As for John.

He returned to the magic suitcase.

After two consecutive attacks, he had lost confidence in the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, he also disapproved of Dumbledore and Snape's idea of ​​participating in a third project to create a safer competition environment.

When John thought about it, catching the man behind the scenes directly was the best way to solve the problem.

It's a pity that neither the Ministry of Magic nor Dumbledore can do anything.

John frowned and lay down in the chair, ready to review everything he encountered today, trying to find any clues.

At this moment, Dobby tiptoed to his side and said softly:

"Master, a letter from Ms. Rita Skeeter has arrived."

John opened his eyes, took the letter, and opened it impatiently.

And the moment he read the contents of the letter, John's expression became extremely solemn.

【Dear Master John Shafiq】

[Your most loyal servant Rita photographed the man who poisoned the giant squid]

【Please give your servant some time】

[Due to the insecurity of letters, your servant will come to Hogwarts to interview you in person in a few days]
