So I'm re-reading GoF, and I was wondering, has anyone considered
the fact that Fudge knowingly brought the Dementor up to see Crouch
Jr., so that he could destroy the only person who could give a
believable testimony to V-Mort's return?
By the time Snape goes to summon Fudge, Fudge had already heard a
little bit about V-Mort being involved with the events of the night,
and he feared that Crouch Jr. would, in fact be able to give a
believable testimony and he was just hoping that by destroying the
only capable witness, this whole V-Mort thing would just all go
away.
"By all accounts, he's no loss!" blustered Fudge. (pg. 703, US
Paperback)
The passage following that goes like this:
"But he cannot now give testimony, Cornelius," said Dumbledore. He
was staring hard at Fudge, as though seeing him plsinly for the
first time. "He cannot give evidence about why he killed those
people."
DD is staring hard at Fudge because he realized that Fudge is bent
on ignoring this all, and that he knew the Dementor would preform
it's kiss. And, Fudge's taglines on this page are 'blustered', and
when someone blusters, they are usually searching for words to say.
So, how's the theory?
-Acire, who found Fudge for 3 dollars per 1/4 pound yesterday...and
was appalled! Fudge is worth so much less than that! (On a side
note, I bought some, and it's really good.)
