Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Chapter 413 Fudge's Action

Perhaps it was the exaggerated report of the Daily Prophet that reactivated Mrs. Weasley's motherly love for the twins, and she actually expressed her apology to the twins for the first time.

"I yelled at you before you left!" She couldn't help but cry, "I've been thinking about this! If the mysterious person arrests you, and the last words I say to you are actually about your O.W.L. exam

Unsatisfactory results?"

The more she cried, the sadder she became, obviously she was terrified.

Mr. Weasley comforted her in a panic, and everyone returned to the Burrow.

"What did the newspaper say?" Bill asked when he saw Glenn picking up the newspaper that fell on the ground.

Glenn shrugged, handed the newspaper over, and said, "I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but you know, Rita Skeeter's report... there's definitely nothing good to say about it."

"I knew it would be like this. The Ministry of Magic is panicking...security is slack...dark wizards are at large...bringing shame to the country..." Mr. Weasley took the newspaper first, and the content above made his

His expression was not very good, "Wait a minute...there is important news here...how is this possible?!"

He suddenly raised his voice, with a look of extreme shock on his face.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Percy was interrupted midway through his words to complain about Skeeter and asked quickly.

"Barty..." Mr. Weasley said with difficulty, his face full of disbelief, "The Dementor's Kiss..."

"This is impossible!" Bill and Charlie exclaimed in unison.

Glenn frowned and took the newspaper, looking at the paragraph Mr. Weasley said——

It was confirmed by insiders at the Ministry of Magic that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement had completed the interrogation and sentencing of Barty Crouch overnight, and upon the proposal of Senior Undersecretary of Magic Dolores Umbridge, he was finally sentenced to be photographed.

The punishment of the Ghost Kiss. ​​Regarding this, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge refused to be interviewed.

In addition, after investigation, it was found that all the criminal acts of another arrested suspect, John Yaxley, were caused by Crouch's Imperius Curse, so he was acquitted.

...

"This is so strange..." Mr. Weasley said to himself, "Such a serious sentence actually skipped the Wizengamot..."

He sighed deeply: "Molly, I have to go to the office...This matter is really strange..."

"I'll go with you, Dad," Percy also jumped up from the sofa, "something happened to Crouch, and our department definitely needs someone to step up and take over the job!"

Mrs. Weasley looked a little sad: "This matter has nothing to do with your department, does it? And you are still on vacation..."

"It's not that simple, Molly." Mr. Weasley said seriously, "I need to go to the Ministry first and then find Dumbledore."

Although she was reluctant, Mrs. Weasley was a reasonable and good wife after all and did not stop her any further. Mr. Weasley and Percy apparated away one after another.

"How about we have a small Quidditch match? There are enough of us in the orchard."

Seemingly seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, Ron suddenly made a suggestion.

"Ron!" Hermione rolled her eyes, with a hint of "I think you are too ignorant" in her tone, "No one wants to play Quidditch at this time. Everyone is exhausted, we should go back to the room

Go and rest.”

But in fact, Ron's suggestion was immediately approved by everyone, and even Ginny joined them without hesitation.

After the storm of the World Cup final passed, Glenn returned to Diagon Alley to spend the last week before the start of school.

The shopping list for the new semester still reads "dress robes". It seems that the actions of the Death Eaters and the Crouch incident have not made Fudge change his attitude, and the plan for the Triwizard Tournament will still be held as scheduled.

In this short week, the Ministry of Magic has obviously strengthened its control over public opinion. Reporters like Rita Skeeter who are keen to dig up dirty information about the Ministry of Magic have been transferred from their posts and turned to write about sports and entertainment circles.

tidbits of news.

As for the daily front page... there is only praise for Fudge and the false prosperity of a peaceful and peaceful magical society.

Even though the situation has reached this point, Fudge still doesn't want to believe that Voldemort is about to return.

It was raining heavily on the day of departure, so Glenn booked a Muggle taxi in advance and took him directly from the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron to King's Cross Station.

He was alone, the box was not big, and he had one hand free to hold an umbrella.

In comparison, the people who set off from the Burrow were obviously in a much more embarrassed state. When they met at platform nine and three-quarters, they were drowned and soaked to the skin.

When they said goodbye, Bill and Charlie both looked forward to it.

"I might be able to see you all soon." Charlie hugged Ginny goodbye, then smiled and waved, "Bill might also take time off to watch part of it."

Since Glenn had told everyone about the Triwizard Tournament a long time ago, Percy also lost the opportunity to tell the truth.

The time soon came to 11 o'clock, the long whistle sounded, and the Hogwarts Express slowly drove away.

Without Master Draco looking for trouble everywhere, the journey on the train seemed much duller.

When we arrived at the Hogwarts platform, it was already dark. As usual, the first-year students were ferried over by Hagrid from the lake, while the other grades took the Thestral carriage.

"I really can't imagine having to ferry across the lake in such weather. It's really too dangerous..." Hermione said, tightening her robe and cloak while queuing up to board the carriage.

The carriage passed through the mud and stopped steadily at the gate of the castle.

There were torches lit in the deep foyer, and the marble staircase was extraordinary. Seeing some inexplicable puddles of water on the ground, Glenn immediately remembered something, took out his wand and transformed into a transparent umbrella, which he held over his and Qiu's heads.

A big red balloon filled with water dropped from the ceiling and landed precisely on Ron's head, drenching him inside and out.

The splashing water also affected Hermione and Harry, and was finally blocked by Glenn's umbrella.

Seeing that his water balloons failed to live up to expectations, Peeves did some dissatisfied somersaults in mid-air and dropped two more balloons.

This time everyone was on guard and evaded early, but their shoes and socks were inevitably soaked by the explosion of water.

"Peeves!" shouted an angry voice, "Peeves, get down right now!"

Professor McGonagall rushed out of the auditorium, but did not notice the slippery ground. She slipped and quickly grabbed Hermione's neck to prevent her from falling.

After the chaos, Peeves finally threw away all the water balloons, smiled with satisfaction, and jumped up the marble stairs with a "whoosh".
