Chapter 1765 A war without a winner (two hundred and fifteen)
"I feel like I'm going crazy!"
Standing next to the bathroom door, Ron glanced back at the stairs behind him, handed a piece of bread to Harry who had just come out of the bathroom, and said angrily: "I really don't understand the trouble Fred and George caused. Why should we bear it?”
Harry didn't answer Ron's words. He and his wife were currently living in the Weasley house, which made him very embarrassed. How could he be embarrassed to say anything in private?
"You may not have known it when you first woke up. Recently, my father has been unwilling to stay for breakfast. He always rushes to work early in the morning with a piece of bread in his mouth. He is probably going crazy!"
"I remember that the Ministry of Magic seemed to be planning to send someone to negotiate with the goblins today."
Seeing Ron getting increasingly irritable, Harry quickly changed the subject to avoid the other person saying anything shocking.
"I guess there won't be much to talk about. Minister Kingsley had no intention of reconciling with the goblin from the beginning." Ron handed the piece of bread in his hand to Harry. After the latter raised his hand to politely reject it, he directly He took a bite and said inarticulately, "I suspect that the goblin side also has his own plans. If we can really reach an agreement, we have already negotiated it. We have talked about it so many times since the last time, and it hasn't all been messed up. Well, not fighting is already the best result."
"Ron, where have you been? You haven't come over for breakfast. One by one..." Mrs. Weasley's dissatisfied voice came from downstairs.
"Get down right now, Mom!"
After Ron gave Harry a look, he quickly stuffed the remaining slices of bread into his mouth and swallowed it, then turned and went downstairs. When he met Mrs. Weasley at the top of the stairs, he did not forget to lower his voice and reminded: " Mom, little James is still sleeping, so don’t wake him up too.”
"Go get your breakfast!"
Mrs. Weasley glared at her youngest son who was also worried. Just as she was about to say a few words, she saw Harry who had just finished washing and came downstairs.
"Harry, I prepared your favorite breakfast. By the way, isn't Ginny up yet?" Mrs. Weasley greeted Harry warmly. Unexpectedly, she thought that this was his son. The one just now was from Picked up from the trash.
"Ginny didn't sleep well last night and is still resting now. Little James woke up several times last night!" Harry pretended to be sleepy, stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, pulled out the chair next to Ron, and sat down He seemed to have thought of something when he sat down, and asked tentatively: "I remember that the ultimate wizard level exam will be in the near future."
"In mid-June, I would definitely not be able to enter the Auror office if I had a normal exam." Ron was quite emotional when talking about this incident.
"I guess that's enough. Hermione should be fine, but she doesn't seem to be interested in becoming an Auror. I remember that she also plans to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation?"
"What department does Hermione plan to join?"
Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there was nothing strange on her son's face.
"The House Elf Resettlement Office." Harry introduced to the somewhat confused two people: "A branch of the Office of Oddities under the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the British Ministry of Magic."
"I bet she's crazy!"
Ron didn't hear Harry's words clearly, but he knew that Hermione's choice was irrational.
"Hermione just wants those house elves to find a good home!" Harry admired Hermione's ideals, but he also felt that Hermione's choice was irrational, because the Ministry of Magic is a very hierarchical place, even if Hermione If Min really wanted to do something for house elves, he should go to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the British Ministry of Magic.
In fact, the best choice is to become Kingsley's assistant. It is the best choice to decentralize the position after accumulating a certain amount of experience and qualifications.
Harry felt that he should talk to Hermione about this, although he felt that Albert had probably reminded Hermione.
"Then, introduce the house elves to Avalon? Under your own eyes, I really don't understand..." Ron didn't finish his words. He felt that Hermione was just causing trouble for Albert.
Avalon is indeed short of manpower, but if you hire a large group of house elves, it will also cost a lot of money, so it is better to spend more money to hire the residents of Avalon.
Ron also knew that Albert had been looking for suitable jobs for the residents of Avalon. Maybe he would stay in Avalon and work for Albert. The salary would not be as high as that of Aurors, but it would certainly not be as hard as them. They had also heard Ginny talk about the situation in that village. Although Ron had never experienced it personally, he always felt that it was like paradise.
"House elves like Dobby who need to be paid are just a few outliers." Harry seemed to know what Ron wanted to say, and reminded him softly: "Hermione just hopes that those house elves can live a better life in Avalon. I heard The people of Avalon now respect Dobby."
I don't know if it was intentional, but Harry and Ron kept talking about Hermione and the house elves, without giving Mrs. Weasley a chance to interrupt.
The two even made a bet on how long Hermione could stay in the house elf resettlement office. It was undoubtedly a very boring department, and she might be the only one in the entire department.
Consider Ron's father Arthur Weasley's Office for the Misuse of Muggle Articles, which had a Perkins in his office.
In fact, the House-Elf Resettlement Office is similar to the Centaur Liaison Office. Although such a department exists, most of the time it is run part-time by someone from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It is not to help house-elves resettle, but to prove that this department exists and that the Ministry of Magic has never forgotten house-elves.
Before Mrs. Weasley could react, Harry and Ron had already quickly finished their food, and hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Weasley and rushed to the Ministry of Magic.
"If you and Lavender are like Fred and George, I think Mrs. Weasley will go crazy." Harry looked at his best friend and asked tentatively, "When do you plan to get married?"
"We will definitely not get married so soon. Percy will definitely get married sooner than us!" Ron's words made Harry feel relieved. The latter seemed to see what Harry was thinking and continued, "I have let go of Hermione's matter. If it is not suitable, don't force it, otherwise you will not even be friends in the end."
Although Ron said that, he didn't let it go completely in his heart. Just like Ginny in the past, he still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that Hermione would change her mind one day like Harry, but Ron also knew that the glimmer of hope was too small, so he didn't reject Lavender again, rejecting someone who really liked him.
It is rare to meet a girl like Lavender, and even Ron now has to admit this.
