Chapter 1757 A War Without a Winner (Two Hundred and Nine)

Chapter 1759 A war without a winner (two hundred and nine)

"That was actually a farce."

Although Percy planned to change jobs, he was still Kingsley's right-hand man, so he naturally knew what was going on with the goblins of Gringotts and the employees of the Ministry of Magic near Hogsmeade.

Kingsley would not keep many things secret from Albert, his ally, so Percy didn't have any psychological burden when talking about these things with Albert.

"Which side deliberately provoked the trouble, or... both sides had this plan?" When Albert heard Percy talk about the farce, he roughly guessed the reason.

"It's on both sides. It's a tacit approach." Percy didn't deny it and confessed directly to Albert. "The purpose is naturally to maintain the hatred between the two sides and prevent the tension from decreasing."

"It seems that the Ministry of Magic is short of money?"

Percy just smiled and didn't pick up the topic.

Albert was indeed a little surprised, not because the Ministry of Magic was short of money, but because Kingsley was so determined to "kill someone with a borrowed knife".

Albert, who is "in a high position", naturally knows where the monthly salary paid to employees by the Ministry of Magic comes from. Relying on donations from others is only a small part. Otherwise, with hundreds of employees of the Ministry of Magic, a month's salary would be enough. The salary alone costs tens of thousands of galleons. It is obviously impossible to rely on donations to make up for the hole in employees' salaries.

Yes, the Ministry of Magic has other ways to make money, just like the state-owned enterprises in the previous life, and there are quite a few of them. Many of them are monopolies, so naturally they don't worry about not making money.

However, due to the last time when Voldemort ruled the Ministry of Magic, many of the money-making areas belonging to the Ministry of Magic were plundered by dark wizards and lost their original hematopoietic function. The Galleons stored by the Ministry of Magic, in addition to the salaries paid to employees, It was also quietly divided up in other ways, so much so that Kingsley had to clean up the mess as soon as he came on stage.

This hole is obviously not that easy to fill, and Kingsley has a big plan later. As long as you succeed, most problems will be solved.

Percy is the assistant to the Minister of Magic, so he naturally knows a lot of secrets, but even if he knows some things, the insider must keep it secret. So, when they were about to continue talking about something, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and they all closed their mouths.

A familiar figure hurried towards this side, and finally stopped in front of the two of them, panting.

"They are all about to get married, can't you be more steady?" Percy frowned and looked at his brother, very dissatisfied with Fred's jumping out.

"What are you doing here when you're not at work?" Fred also looked at Percy with disgust on his face, as if the man in front of him was a piece of shit.

"Ahem, what's the matter?"

Albert coughed lightly and stiffly changed the topic to avoid making the atmosphere too tense.

"Oh, yes, I have something to ask you!" Fred pulled Albert to the side, guarding Percy like a thief, obviously there were some things he didn't want others to know.

"What happened? It's so mysterious."

Albert raised his wand and cast a spell to ensure that no one would be around to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Say it!"

"Angelina is probably pregnant."

Even if Fred lowered his voice, it was difficult to conceal his excitement and anxiety.

"Isn't this a good thing? I remember you always thought..." Albert looked into Fred's eyes and understood what the other person was worried about.

"What if Angelina isn't willing to give up on her dream?"

This was Fred's biggest concern.

Between her children and her dreams, what choice will Angelina make?

"Have you talked to Angelina about this?" Albert asked directly.

"Not yet, I'm a little scared..."

To be honest, Fred already regretted asking this question to Angelina. What would he do if Angelina chose to give up the child in her belly?

Fred hasn't thought about it yet, but his intuition tells him that the relationship between the two parties will probably end like this!

"I suggest you talk to Angelina first. If the result is not very satisfactory, then talk to her family." Albert looked at the slightly uneasy Fred and solemnly reminded: " It’s important for couples to communicate with each other, otherwise problems can easily arise.”

"Okay, that's all."

After Fred accepted Albert's suggestion, he left in a hurry.

"I really don't know what he is doing?"

Looking at Fred leaving in a hurry, Percy chatted with Albert for a while, then said goodbye and left.

As for Angelina's pregnancy, it was not a secret at all, and it spread throughout Avalon in a short period of time.

Many girls sent their blessings to Angelina, but the latter was not happy because it would be difficult for her to continue her job as a chaser after becoming pregnant.

Although Fred also talked to her and pretended to support her choice, it was not difficult for Angelina to guess what Fred was thinking. That hateful guy had probably been looking forward to this day for a long time.

This made her very angry and annoyed with herself for being careless, but it was too late to say anything now.

Accept the consequences and give up on your Quidditch dream, or...

Angelina didn't know what to do for a while, and finally she took the time to find Isobel and wanted to hear her opinion.

There is no way, there are not many people who can provide her with advice, and her family will most likely not want her to give up the child.

"It's normal for couples to compromise with each other. It all depends on what kind of life you want."

After listening to Angelina's confession, Isobel gave her own advice: "If you really think that dreams are more important than anything else, I think you have probably made a decision in your heart."

"I'm just annoyed that Fred would use this method to force me to give up becoming a Quidditch player."

This is what annoyed Angelina.

"This situation is normal. Unless you are just a normal boyfriend and girlfriend, no family will tolerate that kind of situation. It is also likely that you will fall out." Isobel was surprised by Angelina's naive idea.

"In other words, I shouldn't have been engaged to Fred from the beginning?" Angelina suddenly fell silent, suspecting that she had stepped into Fred's trap.

"It should be said that female Quidditch players are not suitable for marriage at all."

"Okay, thank you, I know what to do!" Angelina was very depressed, but still gave Isobel a big hug.

As Isobel said, should she pursue her dream or want her own life?

In the end, Angelina chose the latter.

She knew that many people hoped that she would make that choice, but Angelina still couldn't get over it, so she talked to Fred about it again that night when she returned, and then... she beat Fred up to vent the resentment that had accumulated in her heart.
