Chapter 1475

"What about Stan Thornpark?" Hermione demanded. "You're not keeping him, are you?"

"I'm afraid it's still closed. I know that Dumbledore wanted to appeal directly to Scrimgeour for Thornpike..." said Mr. Weasley. In fact, as long as anyone with a normal IQ knows that he is not, but he should not say these words at this time, I think it is necessary to teach him a little lesson, and the higher authorities also want to appear to be making progress. 'Three people were arrested by mistake' sounds much better, of course, if it really turns into 'three people were caught by mistake and released later', it would be really bad, wouldn't it? However, these are highly classified, don't you Speak out."

"Is there nothing the Ministry can do?" Hermione asked with a sigh.

Mr. Weasley seemed to be thinking, then shook his head, "To be honest, I don't think so. Scrimgeour is counting on Dumbledore now, but Dumbledore has no intention of revealing his plan to the Ministry of Magic."

That's right, neither Horcruxes nor evil gods should be something that the Ministry of Magic and ordinary wizards know about.

So what if they know? Stop Voldemort, stop making trouble, you may be frightened into despair directly.

Ivan feels that what the Ministry of Magic should do now is to try to stabilize the situation so that the situation does not continue to deteriorate.

Scrimgeour is actually pretty good at this point, far better than his predecessor Fudge.

He has taken the correct approach in maintaining law and order, dealing with the relationship with vampires, and win over giants. Although it was true that the wrong person was caught and the bragging Stan Sampak was caught in Azkaban, at least it made other idiots dare not brag about such ignorant things, which played a certain deterrent effect.

Since the news of Voldemort's return was confirmed, Britain, as the core of this upcoming war, has maintained stability. It has not experienced frequent disasters, direct collapse, social unrest or large-scale riots like other countries. This is very rare. of.

Compared to Fudge, Scrimgeour did a lot of work.

But he is not satisfied with this. As a veteran Auror and a powerful minister, he hopes to catch Voldemort;

The wizards are not satisfied with this, and they also hope that the Ministry of Magic can catch Voldemort as soon as possible.

In this way, things became awkward, because he had no ability or possibility to catch Voldemort.

Unrealistic expectations and growing disappointment with him and the Ministry's work.

If this state of affairs continues, it will only be time before Scrimgeour is ousted.

Moreover, Ivan also knew that there was actually not that much time left for Scrimgeour.

When Voldemort finished his preparations and launched a full-scale counterattack, the Ministry of Magic was the first to be dealt with, thereby declaring the official start of the war.

If something happens to Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic will be over!

The current situation is like this. It is a waste of effort to count on the Ministry of Magic or something, and you still have to rely on yourself.

While Ivan, Hermione, and Mr. Weasley were discussing the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, Harry asked Lupine another question, and he said expectantly, "Remus, you heard that there is a man named Half-Blood Prince people?"

"Mixed blood?" Lupine was a little distracted, he was thinking about what Ivan said just now, about his relationship with Tonks.

"Prince," said Harry, watching him closely for signs of remembering.

"Wizards don't have princes," said Lupine, smiling. "Do you want to use that title? I thought 'Saviour' was enough."

"It has nothing to do with me!" Harry protested, "The Half-Blood Prince is someone who used to be at Hogwarts, and I took the Potions book he used, and he wrote spells all over it, spells he invented , one is Fuchsia..."

"Oh, I have the impression that this spell was once very popular when I was in Hogwarts." Lupine said nostalgicly. In the air, unable to move."

"My dad used it," said Harry. "I saw it in the Pensieve. He used it on Snape."

There was too much understanding in Lupine's smile, and he looked at Harry tolerantly.

"Yeah!" he said, "James used that spell, in fifth year, the time you ran up to me and Sirius with the Floo last term, didn't you? But he wasn't the only one who used it, Harry, as I said, it used to be very popular at Hogwarts, you know, these spells come and go..."

"It sounds like it was invented when you were at school," Harry insisted.

"Not necessarily. Charms, like everything else, have their days and times." He looked at Harry's face, seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said calmly, "Harry, James is pure Blood, I can assure you, you can write and ask Sirius anytime you want, James never asked us to call him 'Prince,' and we never did."

Harry dropped the pretense and asked directly, "Isn't that Sirius too? Or you?"

"Certainly not," said Lupine. "Sirius was a pure-blood too. As for me, do you think I would call myself a prince?"

"Oh!" Harry stared blankly at the fire. "I thought . . . he helped me a lot with Potions, that prince."

"When was that book, Harry?" asked Lupine.

"I don't know, I never checked."

"Perhaps this will help you understand the Prince's time at Hogwarts," said Lupine.

Just then, Mrs. Weasley returned with eggnog, and she poured a tall glass for one of them.

Probably because of the weak alcohol in the eggnog, everyone was high after drinking it.

It didn't take long before Fleur decided to imitate Celina and sing "A Pot of Hot Love".

It's unbelievable, she had been talking about how ugly this song was just now, but she memorized the tune and lyrics, and she sang it very well.

Elaine sang along with her, but she was just humming and didn't remember the words.

After humming, she excitedly asked Ivan to sing...

Mrs. Weasley coughed heavily, and after seeing her expression, everyone took it as a signal to go to bed.

Lupine said goodbye and left, Ivan, Harry and Ron climbed to Ron's bedroom in the attic, Hermione, Ginny and Elaine slept in Ginny's room, Fred and George were in their own room , and Bill, Fleur was arranged in Percy's house alone.

Mrs Weasley was determined not to let Fleur sleep with Bill until they were married...

The arrangement is a bit crowded, but it's okay, everyone is used to it, and it's much more comfortable than Grimmauld Place.
