I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Rove originally thought that Saul Crocker was sent by Corvinus Gaunt to negotiate a basilisk deal with him.

He was ready to say no, but he never expected that Crocker didn't come to Rove, but to... Hermione.

Hermione left quickly, following Professor McGonagall and Saul Crocker to the Transfiguration office.

Minister Fudge stayed, he patted the boy's shoulder eagerly, and said with a smile:

"Rove, when I just came, the Wizengamot was holding a meeting of the Merlin Sir Order to discuss this year's medal winners..."

"Your name has been voted on." Fudge approached, and he said in a low voice, "The Order of Merlin, First Class...a sure thing."

Although he was basically sure that he would win the award very early on, but now that it is confirmed, Rove is still very happy. He grinned brightly and said:

"Thank you Minister for the good news."

Fudge looked at the boy and couldn't help sighing.

Even Dumbledore won the medal after defeating the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in 1945.

And Rove was only thirteen years old, and he was awarded the Order of Merlin First Class Medal... It's so terrifying!

Fudge was full of envy, and he also wanted to get a Medal of the Order of Merlin.

The reason is simple, the Order of Merlin is used to honor wizards who have made great contributions to the magical society.

Only wizards who have received medals are eligible to become members of the Wizengamot.

This is an absolutely elite group!

It is impossible for the Minister of Magic to work for a lifetime, and Fudge also wants to enter the Wizengamot to retire after retirement.

Medals used to be easy to get, like the infamous Arcturus Black, who got them for a heap of gold.

But since Dumbledore became the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, the review has become much stricter, at least the way to donate money is not easy.

It seems that if I want to enter in the future, I may have to rely on Rove.

Fudge thought about recruiting Luo Fu as his son-in-law again, but unfortunately he didn't have a daughter, but he had a niece of the same age who he could introduce to him.

But Fudge glanced at the girl with the red ponytail not far away, and immediately put out this thought.

To be honest, my niece is not ugly, but compared with this little girl named Shirley Swinton, she is really humiliating herself.

Rove didn't know what Fudge was thinking, he inquired:

"Minister, what are you doing at Hogwarts today?"

"I'm here to adjust the conflict between Hogsmeade and the dementors." Fudge sighed:

"Every day after sunset, the dementors patrol the streets of Hogsmeade, but the wizards there feel that it's affecting business.

Then, I will drop by to visit you. "

Rove pretended not to know Crocker, and deliberately asked, "Where was that wizard just now? I've never seen it before... Is he a new Auror?"

"You mean Saul Crocker?" Fudge shook his head and said:

"He is the silent man of the Department of Mysteries. You should stay away from him. This is a department with strong secrecy. Even I can't get involved in many things."

"Speaking of the Department of Mysteries, I asked Dumbledore to remind you before." Rove paused and said, "The dark wizard who rescued Pettigrew Peter... might steal the time-turner."

"Rove, you don't have to worry about this." Fudge patted the young man's shoulder and said with a smile:

"The Department of Mysteries has checked itself, and not a single Time-Turner has been lost.

Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror office, even brought a group of Aurors to guard the Department of Mysteries. If that guy appeared there, he would definitely be caught. "

Rove narrowed his eyes.

The two chatted a little longer, and when Saul Crocker returned, Fudge left with him.

Hermione was also back, looking downcast and a bit sullen.

Seeing her like this, Shirley asked softly, "What's the matter, Hermione?"

"My Time-Turner..." Hermione said dejectedly, "It was just taken away by the Department of Mysteries."

Rove raised his eyebrows, and he asked in surprise, "Why did you take it away?"

"Didn't you tell the Ministry of Magic before that a dark wizard would go to the Department of Mysteries to steal the time-turner?" Hermione sighed and said:

"Mr. Saul Crocker means that since someone wants to steal it, I will not be safe with the Time-Turner... The Department of Mysteries must take it back."

Hermione rubbed her cheeks, half relieved and half disappointed in her heart, and said:

"Forget it, anyway, I also feel that the current course is very difficult, so take it back."

Shirley took Hermione's hand and comforted her softly.

Rove is silent

It is true to say that, the Time Turner is indeed safer in the Department of Mysteries than in Hermione.

If it is based on this consideration, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the Department of Mysteries withdrawing it.

But his intuition told him that something was wrong.

"Not good!" Rove suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in a deep voice:

"The Time-Turner is about to fall to Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew!"

Both Hermione and Shirley looked up and looked at Rove in disbelief.

"Think about it... we speculate that Peter Pettigrew, the future, will go back to the past and snatch himself away from the Aurors." Rove explained:

"And the rescued Peter...he will steal a time converter, go back in time, and save himself... Only in this way can we complete the closed loop of time."

"This shows..." Rove said hurriedly: "The fact that the Time Converter was taken by Peter is an established fact.

So where did he get it? "

"Department of Mysteries?" Shirley frowned.

"Impossible." Rove shook his head and said, "Because of my reminder, there are already Aurors there, and he wants to steal from there, the difficulty is too high!"

"From Hermione?" Rove denied: "It's even more impossible, since Dumbledore is at Hogwarts, Peter dare not steal it at all!

What would you do if you were Peter? "

"Steal a time-turner that is neither at Hogwarts nor at the Department of Mysteries," Hermione said softly.

"The time-turner that Hermione just took away from Saul Crocker!" Shirley suddenly said.

"That's right." Rove nodded and said, "Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew will definitely steal that time-turner now... this is their best chance."

"But Minister Fudge is surrounded by Aurors." Hermione wondered, "It's also very difficult."

"So... that Saul Crocker has a problem." Rove said firmly:

"How did Peter know that Hermione had a Time-Turner? Surely from Saul Crocker."

"Don't forget that he was sick for a while before." Rove said softly: "What if Peter attacked him at that time, then controlled him and made him pretend to be sick?"

Shirley and Hermione were silent.

Rove took out the broomstick from the box and said:

"We're going after it now!"
