Vol 2 Chapter 484: ?Scone cake (modified)

The door of the courtroom opened, and the members of Wisengamao filed out.
Connelly Oswald Fudge and Dolores Jane Umbridge stayed at the end. Umbridge stared at Harry with a scrutinizing gaze until Harry trot out of the interrogation room.
"Dolores, take care of your own subordinates and don't trouble me anymore." Fudge and Umbridge were close together, whispering blame.
Alan, who was sitting in the corner of the auditorium, gave a light cough and stood up to remind him of his existence. Fudge paused abruptly, frowned, found that it was Alan, motioned to Umbridge to leave, and walked over to Alan quickly.
When Umbridge walked by Ellen, he gave Alen a flattering smile. The smile looked like a pink toad. Alan suppressed his desire to turn his head and nodded politely in return. Umbridge seemed to have received great encouragement, and his expression rose. One hand was holding a large roll of parchment, and the other hand was carrying a small bag. The short and fat figure quickly disappeared from the trial. outdoor.
"Allen, can you give me some time, let's talk?" Fudge invited Allen, "Trust me, it won't take you too much time."
"My honour, Minister." The reason why Allen stayed here to the end is precisely this. Of course, he will not refuse Fudge's interview.
"Come with me, I don't think this is a good place to talk." Thinking that the conversation between himself and Dolores just now might be heard by Allen, Fudge glanced around the courtroom, despite the grimness. The courtroom was empty, and he still felt uneasy.
Allen nodded and followed Fudge. The two stopped talking, and ignored the other wizards who also took the elevator and secretly looked at them, and went straight to the basement floor where the minister's office was.
Entering the minister's office, Fudge's expression relaxed a lot. He took off his magic robe and threw it aside, revealing a white shirt. He lifted the dark green suit trousers and sat down in the room with the super spacious one. Behind the desk.
He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a tray appeared on the desk with tea and pancakes on it.
"Oh, Ellen," Fudge said while pouring the tea, "tell you the truth, Harry really made us messy with this incident. It turned out that the dementor attacked him, I thought... …We can’t let this matter make a big noise and cause public opinion to be too unfavorable for the Ministry. This is the most important thing right now.

Fudge took out a plate of scones, took one and pushed the plate to Allen.
"Allen, I hope that "The Devil" will not report on what happened in the court today." Fudge looked at Allen from the side of the tea cup and smiled, like an uncle looking at his favorite nephew.
Allen lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Even if the Daily Prophet and the "Dystop" do not report, with Sirius's unwilling posture, he will definitely find other media to hype."
When Fudge heard the words, he waved his bite-in scones in a flustered manner. A few raisins on it fell on his table. He looked at them with disgust: "Those third-stream media are far less influential. As long as the two mainstream media do not report on the "Prophet Daily" and "Singing Devil", the adverse effects of this incident can be controlled within an acceptable range."
"But this is indeed due to the Ministry of Magic's ineffective supervision of the Dementors, and the Ministry of Magic must bear the corresponding responsibilities." Allen clenched his fists on the table with both hands.
"The Harris family wants control of the dementors?" Fudge thought that Harris was going to take the opportunity to get back what should belong to them, his voice rose sharply, and annoyance and worry hit his mind.
"Minister, you are misunderstood. I mean, instead of controlling the media, it is better to pass the blame to the person who managed the mistake. To completely suppress the report, you know the character of Sirius Black, he might protest even more. Use more methods. He can only be comforted if he sees that someone is punished for it and someone is responsible for it. Think about it, after all, he himself was imprisoned in Azkaban for 13 years because of a miscarriage. Now that his godson Harry has been wronged, with Sirius’s violent temper, he may bounce back even more fiercely with more pressure."
"You mean pushing it to Dolores?" The teacup kept turning in Fudge's hands, and he hesitated: "No, you can't protect your subordinates. Others in the Ministry will be chilled."
Allen raised his eyebrows, gave up the idea of ​​directly destroying Umbridge, and made another suggestion: "Perhaps you can take back the control of the Dementor and directly control it in your own hands. This is equivalent to Umbridge. Ms. Mrich was punished, but she just lost a position that she had mismanaged. To others, you did this to protect her, after all, she did not completely lose her position."
Fudge nodded and thought to himself: "In this way, the control of the dementor is still firmly in my own hands." He got up and poured a cup of Ceylon Lowland black tea for himself and Allen, and he recovered without delay. Tone: "Then what will "Singing and Singing" report?"
"It's impossible not to report at all, but the specific details can be described by reporters in neutral terms without much space." Allen blinked: "By the way, I want to ask the Minister for help. Do you know that I want to set up a TV station recently?"
"Huh? Has anyone in the ministry hindered you from going through the formalities? I should have told them not to trouble you." Fudge was taken aback, thinking that one of his staff provokes Harris. "I will tell them to let you go." Fudge had only heard the report from his subordinates before, but he had no idea about it.
Allen waved his hand to indicate that Fukujii had misunderstood: "Minister, the procedures for the TV station are going well, and we have completed the registration. After all, we are not like the wizarding television broadcasting company that used Muggle technology directly in the early 1980s. They hadn’t broadcast any programs and were banned by the Ministry of Magic for serious violation of the "International Wizarding Federation Secrecy Act." The wizard TV and Muggle TV after Harris’s transformation are completely non-interoperable in signal and energy. After all, it’s different from radio. When Muggles accidentally hear the wizard radio, they will easily feel that they have misheard or thought it was someone's prank; and when they accidentally watch the wizard TV show, it is not so easy to believe. "
"So, Ellen, what do you want to ask me for help?" Fudge was a little puzzled. Although he basically doesn't understand these things, it sounds like there should be no violations, so what is the Harris family?
"I mean, after all, there will not be only Harris family TV stations in the future. I suggest that the Ministry of Magic needs to set up a related department for unified management, but because this is a new industry, the professional candidates for this department will be our Harris family. Make a decision, after all, we are now the first family to come into contact with this thing~EbookFREE.me~ so that we can look at the problem from both the Ministry of Magic and the TV station at the same time, and constantly compromise and improve each other to finally work out the most reasonable Administrative law. Of course, the authority and scope of this new department does not affect the functions of other departments of the Ministry of Magic. It only manages the film and television industry and related content. I hope that the minister can give permission for approval." Allen asked falsely, but did not ask at all. the meaning of.
Fudge understood that this was the condition that the other party made no public reports on the dementors' attacks on the savior and Muggles.
It's just that Fudge hesitated about Harris's possibility of taking control of a new media. Although the other party's reasons were grandiose, he had no idea what influence this so-called TV station might have.
"In fact, we have already produced several prototypes, and have invited Mr. Tilden Toots, the host of the Wizarding Radio Network, and Miss Fleur Delacour from the Ministry of Magic to record a pilot program for us. We will put a large number of advertisements in "Dan Singing" and "Prophet's Daily" for publicity, and pilot broadcasts in places like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village. The limelight brought by these new things themselves will definitely put the masses on The attention of Harry’s attack was minimized, making it less visible. What do you think? Minister."
After thinking about it again and again, Fudge finally agreed to give an approval for the establishment of the relevant functional departments of the TV station. He was persuaded by Allen that he is now anxious to get rid of the influence of the Dementor incident. On the other hand, he is worried that if he doesn’t pay at all, now with the series of reports after last year’s World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, the sales volume is second only to the antagonistic reports of the Daily Prophet, which will make him very embarrassed. If it is big, it will make him very disadvantaged when facing Dumbledore recently. If Dumbledore takes the opportunity to treat him...
