Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Hermione lay on the dining table with her forehead in her hands and almost cried. Crookshanks didn't know when he had jumped onto the dining table, stretched out his paw and patted his owner on the head.

Harry and Ron were also looking at recent newspapers with grim faces, almost crying.

During this period of time, the "Daily Prophet" has been filled with clear seas, peaceful singing and dancing, and wizards all over the UK are living in a peaceful and prosperous world. There is no trace of the life-and-death fight between the two groups a month and a half ago.

From the first day they were imprisoned in the dungeon, all kinds of advertisements and product soft articles in newspapers swept through them like a tsunami. For a time, "Daily Prophet" can be renamed "Prophet Business Daily".

In addition to the fingernail-sized current affairs news that appeared in a corner of the newspaper one day soon, the two ministers of magic each promised that the people of the country would have a stable and peaceful Christmas. News about the business war between the North and the South filled every corner of the newspaper.

On the night of the opening of the trade fair, Lao Ma, who claimed to "put on makeup and go deep behind enemy lines to investigate the enemy's situation," called all the merchants he could find for a meeting overnight. Early the next morning, the "Christmas Shopping Carnival" also started in Diagon Alley, with the intention of competing with Hogsmeade for economic territory.

In order to inflame the shopping atmosphere in Diagon Alley, Lao Ma even temporarily allocated a portion of the Ministry of Magic's public funds as year-end bonuses for the Death Eaters, and asked them to go shopping in Diagon Alley to collect their heads.

So in the next day's newspaper, the photo of the crowded Diagon Alley was able to attract some customers.

"I didn't expect such interesting things to happen during this period of time." Harry said with a grimace, "I saw Lupine in the photo."

After learning that Mrs. Weasley was safe, Harry and the others finally felt relieved and began to think about other things.

"Why did Lupine get together with Patil and Padma?" Ron asked strangely, "There is no news about my mother in the newspapers. Things are being sold all over the world!"

"So, why are we locked up?" Harry lamented.

Seeing that they had suffered so much, but that the earth was still spinning, and that someone could still accomplish what they planned to risk their lives for, the trio fell into self-doubt and wailing.

"He must know something!" Hermione suddenly raised her head and said.

"Who?" Harry and Ron looked at her.

"Who else?" Hermione said through gritted teeth.

Harry and Ron saw Hermione's expression, and their expressions became ferocious as they remembered the torture they had suffered every day during this period.

"He said he didn't know about it," Ginny said while petting Harry's cat. "I asked him that day."

At this time, the restaurant opened and Lupin, Black and Mrs. Weasley walked in.

It's just that Lupine and Black's expressions were obviously not good, and Black was holding a piece of parchment in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

Black sat at the dining table and said: "The Wizengamot sent me a summons, saying that I was involved in a theft case many years ago, and asked me to go to the Ministry of Magic at three o'clock this afternoon for questioning."

"How could this happen?" Harry asked in surprise, "What case is that? Is there any news from Mr. Weasley?"

Lupine and Black's expressions worsened after hearing Harry's question.

"It's not the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade." Lupine explained. "Lucius Malfoy in London completed the reorganization of the Wizengamot this morning, and the first thing after the reorganization was to send Sirius a message. summons."

"What will happen if you don't go?" Hermione asked.

"Tried in absentia," Black replied, "and they don't allow me to have a defense attorney represent me in court. I have to go in person."

The faces of everyone else present turned dark. If Black went to the Ministry of Magic controlled by Voldemort at this time, it would be the same as death.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't go anyway." Blake said, throwing the parchment in his hand into the fireplace, "I have other things to do in the afternoon.

"

"What's the matter?" Harry asked curiously.

"No...it's nothing." Blake stuttered a little, "I'll talk to you when I get back tonight."

After Blake finished speaking, he ran away quickly.

The three Harrys looked at each other in the restaurant. This was the first time they saw Blake like this. Lupine, Mrs. Weasley and Ginny put on funny expressions.

"What happened to him?" Harry asked Lupin.

"Let him talk to you about this." Lupine smiled and said to Harry, "It's a good thing."

Not only Lupin, but also Mrs. Weasley and her daughter were showing off.

"How about we go to Hogsmeade in the afternoon?" Mrs. Weasley said to the three ex-convicts. "I think I need to do some shopping for Christmas this year."

The three people who were looking for clues about Mrs. Weasley's rescue in the newspaper already knew about the shopping carnival in Hogsmeade. If they hadn't been imprisoned for unauthorized actions and had just been released, they would have thought about going to watch the fun.

At first, they all thought that they would not be able to leave Blake's home during the holidays. For them, it was just a move from a small cell to a large cell where they could have food and drink.

Now Mrs. Weasley said that they were now able to go out for a walk, which really surprised them.

"Can we really go?" Harry asked.

"No problem, I just contacted Arthur, and someone will come to protect you then." Mrs. Weasley replied.

Mrs. Weasley's words made Harry feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't like being protected as a mascot, but he had to accept this kind of protection.

While he was in the dungeon, he finally figured out that the current wizard war could not be solved by individual bravery. As an accelerator that speeds up the end of the war, he sometimes cannot serve the entire war situation.

After having a full stomach just now and resting for a while, Harry and the others immediately felt full of strength when they heard the news that they could go out for air.

After emerging from the fireplace in the Hog's Head, Harry found himself surrounded.

Percy and four men surrounded Harry.

"This is the famous Harry Potter." Percy introduced to his teammates, "Our task today is to keep an eye on him and not let him slip away."

"Of course, Harry, our protection of you today is not free." Percy turned to Harry and said, "You have to buy us a drink tonight."

"Percy!" Mrs. Weasley on the side called the third child a little unhappy.

"It's okay, Mum," Percy said to his mother, "Minister Scrimgeour has agreed. We just want to talk to Harry."

Harry nodded noncommittally, it was better to deal with Percy than with an unfamiliar Auror.

The trio of Harry, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley and Percy, a team of five and ten people in total, left the Hog's Head Bar and arrived on the streets of Hogsmeade.

Originally, Ginny wanted to talk to Harry about the recent events, but Percy kept standing next to Harry like a telegraph pole, which made her lose the temper of talking.

As soon as Percy's four teammates arrived on the street, they spread out and protected Harry and his group.

The fresh air outside is so inviting, making the trio nostalgic for it.

But their attention was quickly attracted by a scene on the street.

A giant panda shouted "I want to see the queen" and was dragged out of a store by two ladies respectively, holding its paws and walking towards the coffee shop.

Behind them, a little girl with silver hair was licking a fist-sized lollipop and jumping up and down to watch the fun.

Not far from them, two people, a man and a woman, were standing, and the man among them was recording the scene with a camera.

Soon, the two people discovered Harry and his party, and walked over quickly.

"Hello, are you Mr. Harry Potter? Could you please take some of your time to conduct an exclusive interview with you?" The lady with blond hair and blue eyes asked Harry.

"Who are you?" Percy took a step across and stood between the visitor and Harry.

Before his teammates in front could react, the other two appeared in front of Harry. The two teammates were both elite Aurors from other countries. They could break through their interceptions without leaving any trace before they could react. These two were obviously not simple characters. If the other party is someone sent by Voldemort, then the consequences will be serious.

"I'm Diana, a reporter from Reuters." The person introduced himself, "Mr. Weasley, I also want to conduct an interview with you, but it must be arranged after the interview with Mr. Potter."

Percy took the certificate from the other party and found no problem. Then he noticed that the male photographer holding the camera on the other side was staring blankly behind him. When he turned around, he realized that the person he was looking at was Hermione.
