Chapter 12: Daily Prophet
Maybe because of being overworked, Amelia Bones forgot to pick up her niece from Dudley's house.
"It looks like you'll be staying here," said Dudley.
"Hmm... my aunt is probably busy because of the Dementor attack this evening," replied Susan.
"So, are you staying here?" asked Harry.
"Hmmm..." Before Susan could answer, Dudley cut in.
"That's the wrong question, Harry. We should ask, 'Will you stay here tonight?'" Dudley corrected.
"Okay, I accept your invitation," replied Susan.
"But... you don't have clothes," said Dudley, his face showing concern.
"Arghhh..." Susan shrieked. "Then I'll go back home!"
"It's just one night. I believe your aunt might come either tonight or tomorrow," Dudley reassured her."Okay," Susan agreed.
The next morning...
It took more than a night to investigate the corruption surrounding Dolores Umbridge, so when the trio read the Daily Prophet, they were shocked by the content of the newspaper.
Even Dudley, who had prepared Rita Skeeter for this, was stunned. He never thought his actions would cause such a major ripple in the plotline.
MINISTRY SENT DEMENTOR TO KILL HARRY POTTER
Yesterday, the Department of Improper Use of Magic received a signal from the Muggle world indicating the use of Patronus magic.
For readers' information, a Patronus is an advanced spell, typically learned at the NEWT level, used to repel Dementors. When they received a signal that Patronus magic had been used at Harry Potter's house, they sent an Auror to snap Mr. Potter's wand.
It was because Mr Harry Potter had been misuse a magic infront of muggle for a third time. So auror were sent to punish Mr Harry Potter because breaking the rules.
However, upon arrival, the Aurors discovered that there are Dementors who were attempting to kill Harry Potter. Even more alarming, Amelia Bones, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was present and witnessed the Dementors attempt to kill the Boy Who Lived.
Upon investigation, it was revealed that the person who sent the Dementors was Undersecretary Dolores Umbridge. She sent the Dementors to kill Harry Potter because she believed he was lying about You-Know-Who's return.
Investigators also found a list of Muggle-borns, evidence of human trafficking, torture devices, and a blood quill among Dolores Umbridge's possessions. We believe Dolores was Minister Fudge's secret weapon against his political enemies.

Dudley then passed the Daily Prophet to Harry,
"Look, your name is here. Finally, your killer would be in prison" Dudley then looked at Susan. "It looks like justice has been brought by your aunt"
Cornelius Fudge Dilemma....
For Cornelius Fudge, his political career is spiraling downhill. He continues to deny that Voldemort has returned, claiming it's a conspiracy by Albus Dumbledore to replace him, even though Dumbledore has provided evidence.
The paranoid Cornelius Fudge still denies the truth brought by the great Albus Dumbledore. Now, he cannot avoid the growing problem. Dolores Umbridge's crimes are greater than he imagined. He had trusted Dolores and found her to be very capable in her job.
But now he faces intense political pressure because of Dolores, his Undersecretary, just sent Dementors to kill Harry Potter.
Fortunately for him, Voldemort, the Dark Lord, still wants him to remain as Minister of Magic. Fudge's cowardice benefits him. If Voldemort were to replace Cornelius with Lucius Malfoy, Dumbledore would treat everyone in the Ministry as his enemy.
So, he will let Cornelius remain Minister for a year while he gathers more followers.
Confused Order Member....
"Why is Rita Skeeter suddenly on our side?" asked a confused member of the Order of the Phoenix.
No one could answer, so they decided to discuss Harry Potter instead.
"Yesterday, Amelia Bones was invited to Dudley Dursley's house. Coincidentally, the Dementors attacked their family while she was there. She then went on to capture Dolores Umbridge and found all the evidence of her torture," someone explained.
"That woman? I'm glad she was caught. No wonder she looked at me like she wanted to torture me," said Nymphadora Tonks.
"So, what will happen to Fudge?" another member asked.
"The Dark Lord wants him to remain Minister of Magic temporarily," said Snape. "He plans to gather followers first before attacking the Ministry."
"Fudge's influence may be reduced, but his power is still intact," someone concluded.
