Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales
Chapter 201 Rumors of the Daily Prophet
In the next few days, Mr. Weasley was very busy with various matters in the Ministry of Magic.
Although he is not a senior member of the Ministry of Magic, the appearance of the Dark Mark at the World Cup and the destruction of many tents made people wonder if Voldemort had re-emerged. For this reason, Minister Fudge had to personally come forward to stabilize people's hearts, and all the Ministry of Magic
Everything works in an orderly and tense manner.
But this is not the end of the story. If it is just word of mouth among the wizards participating in the World Cup, it will not create any big waves.
The key point was on the third day after the World Cup, when Mr. Weasley and Percy were coming home from get off work at the Ministry of Magic, he was holding a newspaper in his hand and his face was extremely gloomy.
"What's the matter, Dad?" Bill saw something wrong with his face and asked with concern. He thrust the newspaper into his eldest son's hand, and Harry, Ron, Louis and others on the side moved forward.
"The World Cup stadium was severely damaged, black magic wizards were rampant, and the Ministry of Magic did not act, allowing the prisoners to escape and the whole UK became a shame to the world..."
"Who wrote this?" Harry asked subconsciously, and then Ron poked his shoulder and pointed to the signature under the article:
Rita Skeeter.
"This woman who loves to spread rumors," Percy said angrily, "she said that the Ministry of Magic wastes all its energy and time on the thickness of the cauldron, accusing us of being picky instead of hunting down dark wizards..."
"Okay, Percy, let's calm down for a while." Bill laughed, interrupting Percy and continued.
"I was also mentioned below." Arthur pointed to the lower part of the newspaper. "I was not mentioned by name, but everyone present in the ministry knew who it was."
Louis glanced at the place pointed by Mr. Weasley. It said that more than 100,000 wizards gathered outside the tent, anxiously waiting for news from the Ministry of Magic, hoping to get relevant statements and comfort from the Ministry of Magic, but what happened was disappointing.
, shortly after the attack, only one Ministry of Magic official appeared and claimed that no one was injured, and he refused to disclose any other information. Can this statement quash rumors that hundreds of bodies were removed from the attacked tent?
Awaiting further observation.
"I already explained it to the Ministry today." Mr. Weasley waved his hand irritably.
"I really don't understand the situation and I'm talking nonsense. People were just frightened at the time, but according to our statistics, not a single wizard was injured. If it weren't for half of the Aurors in the ministry going to Germany to perform secret missions..."
"Dad!" came Percy's dissatisfied voice, as if he felt that this was a secret of the Ministry of Magic and should not be revealed to his family.
"It's not an important matter, Percy." Mr. Weasley waved his hand.
"Okay, that's it. I've done everything I can." Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen, "Dinner will be ready in about half an hour."
After chatting for a while, several people went about their own business. Harry and Louis shuffled back to the room to lie down for a while.
At the corner of the corridor, Harry suddenly grabbed Ron and Hermione who were walking in front of him.
"What's wrong, Harry."
"There is something I haven't told you." Harry gathered them together, "Do you remember the dream I mentioned before? In that dream, Voldemort mentioned that he sent a werewolf to Germany to get something.
Something, do you think the secret mission in Germany mentioned by Mr. Weasley just now is related to this?"
"The mysterious man commanded the werewolves to go to Germany?" Ron frowned, "Dad did mention before that there are things in Germany that need Aurors to pick up."
"And Voldemort said that their operation was very successful and they deceived those from the Ministry of Magic..."
Harry suddenly stopped talking. He seemed to remember something and turned to look at Louis:
"Do you remember, Louis, Sirius said he was going to Germany?"
"Yes, I remember." Louis nodded, "But don't worry, Voldemort said this, but he didn't actually have a direct conflict with them."
That's what he said, but Louis wasn't worried at all that it was impossible.
Accompanying them to Germany was the current Director of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimgeour. His aggressive and resolute style of conduct was incompatible with Sirius's bohemian character. There would definitely be some differences between the two of them as partners.
But according to Voldemort, that thing seemed to be an extremely important item, closely related to his resurrection.
"I hope so." Harry looked out the window with a worried tone.
"Hey, why don't we go play Quidditch after dinner." Ron said, "Three on three, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George..."
"Ron, Harry is not in the mood right now." Hermione said in a "You are so irrational" tone, "He is very worried about Sirius' safety..."
"No, I want to play Quidditch." When he said Quidditch, Harry seemed excited, "Wait a minute, I'll get my nimbus, Louis, you will come too."
"Of course." Louis agreed, he would never say no to Quidditch.
Hermione shook her head and muttered "Boy."
In the next week, Mr. Weasley and Percy were even busier. They almost went out early in the morning before anyone else woke up, and it was already long after dinner when they came back.
Winky has been a little depressed since she was brought back by Dobby, but fortunately the Weasley family are very kind to him, and she often helps Mrs. Weasley with housework together with Dobby.
"Thank you, Winky." Mrs. Weasley looked very kind.
With a induction spell, the plates piled on the table were neatly placed on the other side, and Winky bowed to Mrs. Weasley. For a moment, she wanted to have a house elf to serve their family.
However, this is just a thought. Which wizard family with a house elf is not a famous family.
"It's really terrible." Percy unexpectedly returned to the Burrow early. "For a whole week, it was like putting out a fire. The Ministry of Magic was in a mess. People kept sending howler letters. If you don't open them in a short time,
It would explode and there would be scorched black marks all over my desk."
"Why do they send howler letters?" asked Ginny, who was sitting in front of the fireplace reading "A Thousand Kinds of Herbs and Fungi".
"It's not about the Quidditch World Cup." Percy roared. "They want compensation. Mongleton Franky wants twelve tents like him because he said he was injured, but I
Investigation revealed that he was not injured at all and that he spent the night under a cloak made of support sticks."
At that time, when Barty Crouch Jr. attacked the tent, it did affect several surrounding tents, but they were all lucky and were not injured in the attack.
However, these wizards didn't care. The influence of the Daily Prophet made these wizards feel that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they kept raking in the trouble. This was one of the reasons why the Ministry of Magic was so anxious these days.
