The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts
Chapter 537 Aftermath (two in one)
The person who came was an acquaintance, Mr. Amos Diggory, who came to the World Cup with Mr. Weasley as a portkey. His child, Cedric, followed him, both holding someone in their arms.
Mr. Weasley had a bad feeling in his heart. He ran in front of Amos in three steps and two steps at a time, and then he saw clearly the face of the person Amos was holding: it was his youngest son Ron. Cedric was holding a weak-looking Harry in his arms.
"Is this...?" Mr. Weasley looked at Amos, hoping to get some clues from him.
"Said and I just picked up your child on the side of the road. He was hit by a coma spell... With sharp eyes, Sed saw signs of damage to the bushes next to him, so he and I followed the traces and finally found him. Harry." Amos Diggory quickly told Mr. Weasley what he had just discovered.
"Harry said he was kidnapped?" Mr. Weasley didn't care about Ron. His mind was entirely on Harry being kidnapped by a mysterious man.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley," Harry replied weakly, his arm still throbbing with pain.
"Arthur, is it..." Amos Diggory wanted to ask something else, but Mr. Weasley gave him a look and told him to stay quiet for now. "
"Harry needs a doctor and a quiet environment to rest now." Mr. Weasley said in an unquestionable tone: "Let's go back to the camp first. I hope our tent is still intact..."
After making arrangements, he returned to camp with his children and the Grangers. But there is no airtight wall in the world, and the news of Harry Potter's attack spread quickly.
…
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
A series of sounds like firecrackers exploded in the steaming camp, and wizards from the Ministry of Magic appeared in the ruins.
"Minister!" Delis stood up immediately after seeing Bones' figure, feeling a little worried.
Bones nodded to Delis and strode to Tom.
"Good evening. You came a little late and didn't get to see the most exciting scene." Tom was very calm - the worst punishment for him in the wizarding world was to be expelled from Hogwarts and imprisoned in Az Caban. It was no different to him than a sea-view villa.
death penalty? It's impossible. With so many Death Eaters not being sentenced to death, it's certainly impossible for him. Break the wand? He could just make another one himself. Tom is now completely outlawed, and the laws of the magical world have almost no binding force on him.
The reason why he hasn't become the Demon King yet is because this string in his hand still binds him.
Bones seemed not to have heard Tom's wise words, and the surrounding atmosphere was tense to the extreme. The wizards brought by Bones were ready to capture the young wizard upon the minister's order.
The reason why the atmosphere at the scene was so tense was because what Tom had done was a big deal - the marchers burned dozens of tents, and Tom burned thousands of meters of tents...
It has a sense of comedy in which a house cat hunts a mouse and ends up breaking all the furniture in the house.
Everyone is waiting for Bones, as the Minister of Magic, to give a definition of this matter. Whether it is a good thing or a punishment, it all depends on what she says next.
Bones moved.
She put her legs together and bowed to Tom seriously.
"Tom Yoder, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the wizards surrounding Tom instantly understood what Bones meant - the minister thought Tom was a good wizard. Everyone stuffed their wands back into their pockets, and the smarter ones bowed to Tom along with the minister.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp became a little weird: the camp turned into ruins, and a bunch of wizards gathered in a circle, all bowing to one person...
It looks like Tom died heroically while fighting the Death Eaters.
Fortunately, Bones straightened up quickly. She looked back at her subordinates and said sternly that the parade of Death Eater remnants just now was intolerable to the Ministry of Magic and was a violation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy! Wizards who dare to cause trouble at events such as the World Cup Finals are no longer ordinary wizards. Must hit hard! The Ministry of Magic should set up a special investigation team from now on to get to the bottom of the investigation and bring the criminals to justice.
Tom didn't quite believe Bones's boasts. investigation? Believe it or not, there are people who participated in the march in your investigation team? If the Ministry of Magic's investigation is useful, does Tom still need to come out and perform "Firestorm" for everyone?
To be fair, if Tom had not taken action, the British Ministry of Magic would have made a huge embarrassment in the international wizarding community this time. It was so embarrassing to be ridiculed by Death Eaters in front of hundreds of thousands of wizards from all over the world, without even finding a scapegoat afterwards. After this incident, countries all over the world will put a question mark on the strength of the British Ministry of Magic. In the end, he could only increase the ambition of the Death Eaters and destroy his own prestige.
However, Tom came out and unleashed a big move, which was completely different in nature. The rising star in the British wizarding world single-handedly fought off dozens of Death Eaters, forcing the enemies to flee. Of course, for publicity, some beautification and embellishment must be done. The efforts of Delis and other Ministry of Magic personnel were magnificently ignored.
The British Ministry of Magic could have taken advantage of the funeral and used Tom's outstanding performance to cover up the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic officials.
"Can you tell me what happened just now?" Bones wanted to hear a first-hand account of the situation from Tom.
Naturally, Tom would not hide anything and truthfully told what happened.
This explanation also brought a surprise to Bones. Originally, Bones thought that the staff of the Ministry of Magic had taken advantage of this incident, but he did not expect that the Auror Lux also performed well! He bought precious "chanting" time for Tom Yoder, and single-handedly withstood the curse bombardment of more than a dozen Death Eaters.
This performance is so eye-catching!
"Well done, Deluxe! This is our role model!" Bones had a happy smile on his face. She patted Delis on the shoulder and did not hesitate to praise him.
At this time, officials from the Ministry of Magic had heard from various channels about the minister's whereabouts and the news that the turmoil had completely subsided, so they rushed to the scene as quickly as possible. At this time, the four-story tent was already surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Magic.
Interestingly, some of them were in the parade just now, adding to Mr. Delis's credit book...
"Minister, that's too much praise." Delis was a little embarrassed. He was rushing to the shelves. The atmosphere at that time was so high that if he backed down, he would really be sorry for the Auror profession.
After all, Deluxe is still very professional.
"No way! If everyone could be like you, Death Eaters and the like wouldn't be able to make big waves - you all must learn from Delis." Bones has already made a decision in her heart: she wants to Praise Delix as a hero representing the Ministry of Magic!
Tom represents the British wizarding community and Dellux represents the British Ministry of Magic. In this attack, the two contributed a highlight performance, symbolizing the bright future of the British wizarding community.
"Minister, you are absolutely right!" A sweet voice floated through the crowd. Everyone looked around for a long time before discovering the person who had just spoken - Dolores Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic's special envoy to Azkaban.
There was a deep look of tiredness on Umbridge's face. After she got the news in Azkaban, she immediately thought of a way to run over, hoping to catch the heat. However, exhaustion could not change her enthusiastic heart. She echoed loudly: "We must also have the consciousness of Mr. Delis!"
Umbridge's flattery was so explicit that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. The officials who wanted to speak kept their mouths shut, and they were so bored that they complained in their hearts that Umbridge had raised the tone too high.
Bones was also a little embarrassed and didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Tom didn't want Umbridge to monopolize the limelight, so he changed the topic and turned to look at Delis.
"Mr. Delis, your use of the Iron Armor Curse is really superb. You must have worked hard, right?"
In response to this problem, most people thought that Dellux practiced the Iron Armor Curse privately and finally mastered it. However, Scrimgeour and Naya in the Auror Office knew very well that Dellux was "cheating"!
In the true sense, krypton gold can make you stronger.
After struggling for two seconds, Delis decided to tell the truth.
"Anti-curse ring?" This familiar term brought back Bones's memories. "Is it the kind of magic prop that the ministry wanted to purchase before?"
"No, it's an upgraded version." Delis gave Bones a brief introduction to the ring that he had bought by selling iron.
"Sounds very attractive." Bones is very satisfied with the effect of the anti-spell ring. Although the price is very discouraging, today's performance of Deluxe proves the practicality of the anti-spell series of magic props - she can buy it for herself One as a family heirloom.
"If Aurors and front-line strikers could prepare anti-curse magic items, today's response to the marchers wouldn't be so disappointing." Scrimgeour interjected at the right time.
Bones frowned when he heard Scrimgeour's words.
"I remember that the Ministry had discussed cooperation with the alchemist before, but it seems that we didn't reach an agreement?" After Bones became the Minister of Magic, his workload increased a lot, so many things could not be controlled in detail. . She had only heard about the previous procurement turmoil.
"Well, Miss Monica's low price angered the alchemist, so he refused to trade with us." Scrimgeour finally caught the opportunity and gave the bad lady a black record in front of the Minister of Magic.
Monica in the crowd suddenly turned pale. Because she saw Bones just glanced at her. As an assistant who had been getting along with Bones for a while, she knew very well that Secretary Bones was angry because it was inconvenient to do so in a public place.
It's over... A trace of bitterness flashed through her heart: she shouldn't have coveted that kickback in the first place. She now feels that she is really blinded by lard! It's crazy to want to benefit from the eccentric alchemist.
Monica's counter-offer was just unreasonable making things difficult, a common method of blackmailing merchants. It stands to reason that the merchant who is being blackmailed should give a generous gift so that she will remain silent and supportive. But this time she met an alchemist with a bad temper and a tough temper! They just flipped the table over.
Monica's stupid behavior is actually quite understandable. She had a smooth life and never suffered any setbacks, so she developed an arrogant character. Changes can be made after a few failures, but unfortunately this time her capital was less than the cost of trial and error.
Bones suppressed his dissatisfaction and looked at Tom and Delis, "The Ministry of Magic will not forget your achievements, but today is not a good day to award awards... Well, I will transfer a group of tents... I hope You have a sweet dream." After making the arrangements, Bones left, leaving behind a busy staff of the Ministry of Magic.
Under Tom's fire storm, almost no tents in the entire camp survived. The flames also spread to half of Camp 2, and thousands of wizards lost their tents.
Although the blame was thrown to the remaining Death Eaters, letting these wizards sleep in the wilderness was not an option. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic urgently transferred a batch of tents. Those who do not want to live in tents can also use the door key to leave first.
Everyone unanimously decided to stay in the Ministry of Magic's tent - the teleportation point for the Portkey was located on Stoat Mountain. If they used the Portkey to go back, they would have to travel across the mountains in the middle of the night, and everyone's physical strength was really unbearable.
So everyone walked into the tent assigned to them by the Ministry of Magic. The living conditions in this tent are even better than the original one. The area inside was twice as big as the old tent, and it still had no smell.
What's interesting is that tonight's battle hero Delis has also been given a special break and no longer has to be on duty. After thinking about it, he finally got into the Weasley family tent with Mr. Weasley.
After picking up the remains of luggage from the rubble and settling in the new tent, everyone was not in a hurry to fall asleep. Everyone seemed to have a lot to say.
"The Medal of Merlin is stable!" Delis was very excited, "I just don't know what level I can get."
Delis was very aware of his contribution in his heart. He did not produce any output and acted as a human shield throughout the whole process, no different from a big stone pillar.
But as the saying goes, a person's development must of course rely on self-strength, but the process of history must also be taken into consideration. The general trend has pushed him to that position, and he has completed his task excellently. Isn't it natural for him to be rewarded?
"Congratulations." Tom poured a cup of hot cocoa for Delis, "Does the recipient of the Order of Merlin receive any bonuses?"
"Well, as far as I know, there shouldn't be any." Delis recalled it and found that the Order of Merlin seemed to be a pure honor without any financial reward.
Tom was a little disappointed, so what do I need it for?
Others present:…
"Let's change the topic!" Delis suddenly didn't want to discuss the medal issue.
