Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.
After receiving Lupine's letter, Ivan and Hermione returned to England immediately, just three days after Harry was attacked by a dementor.
Mr. Weasley and Professor Moody greeted them at the airport, and the group went straight back to 12 Grimmauld Place.
This is now the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Compared with a month ago, it is a different scene.
The Weasleys had all moved over from the Burrow, as well as many members of the Order of the Phoenix.
From Fred, George, Ron and Ginny, Ivan and Hermione knew the changes in the past month.
Compared with before they left, the situation in the wizarding world has not changed much. Harry's incident should be the biggest incident recently.
Public opinion was against them, and the Daily Prophet reported on the matter.
The Ministry of Magic is doing its best to suppress Dumbledore, using various methods, and now he has resigned from all positions except the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
In other respects, Sirius wrote a letter back from Norway every week. For the sake of safety, he didn’t say anything other than to inform Harry that he was safe and ask everyone to take care of him. Everyone didn’t know he was busy there. What.
Lupine didn't know how far the communication with the werewolf had progressed, and he only came back occasionally.
Every time, he looked particularly tired, and Ivan and Hermione haven't seen him for a few days since they came back.
In fact, because they were not allowed to join the Order of the Phoenix, the four of Ron and the others did not know too much information.
They were not allowed to attend the meeting, and Fred and George tried their best to eavesdrop, and the information they got was extremely limited.
They didn't even know when to pick Harry up or to keep him with the Dursleys.
From them, Ivan knew that the biggest change was related to Percy.
When Hermione asked where Percy was going, Ivan still remembered the reactions of the brothers and sisters of the Weasley family.
They exchanged a sad, meaningful look, and Ron said nervously, "You two, don't mention Percy in front of Mum and Dad, and tell Harry not to do it when he comes over."
"Why?" Hermione looked at him confused.
Ron had grown a lot taller this summer, making his clothes look a size too small.
"Because every time Percy was mentioned, Dad smashed everything he was holding and Mum burst into tears," Fred said.
"It's really terrible," said Ginny sadly.
"Anyway, I think we've gotten rid of him," said George, with a hard grimace on his face.
"What happened?" Hermione asked.
Ivan probably understood what was going on, Fudge must be taking the opportunity to win over Percy, and that guy fell to the Ministry of Magic without any hesitation.
"That was the first week after the semester ended, not long after the two of you left." Ron said, looking at the dusty Ivan and Hermione with complicated eyes, "We are preparing to join the Order of the Phoenix, Perry." West came home and told us he was promoted."
"How is that possible?" said Hermione in surprise. "Aren't they investigating Percy?"
In the case of Barty Crouch, Percy had committed a more serious crime of oversight.
His failure to discover that his superiors were under Voldemort's control led to his unsuccessful first job at the Ministry of Magic.
Under normal circumstances, Percy's career in the Ministry of Magic was basically over, ending in a hurry before it even started.
While in Egypt, Bill also told Ivan that Mrs. Weasley wanted him to help Percy find a job inside Gringotts.
Ivan also thought about it, if it is really not possible, it is okay to let Percy work in the "Hogwarts Wizardry News".
After coming back this time, he decided to counterattack the Magic News in public opinion.
"We were surprised too," said George, "because Percy got in a lot of trouble with the Crouch thing, and then there was an investigation or something. They said Percy should have realized that Crouch was insane. , and report it to your superiors in a timely manner. But you know Percy, and Crouch left him alone, and he couldn't wait for it."
"Then why would they promote him?"
"We wondered about that too," continued Ron. "He came home smug, more smug than usual, just imagine him telling Dad they gave him a Minister Fudge A position in the office. It's a coveted position for a man just a year out of Hogwarts: Assistant to the Minister! I think he's counting on Daddy to be happy."
"But Dad didn't," said Fred gloomily. "Fudge is furious in the Ministry and forbids anyone from having any contact with Dumbledore. As you all know, Dumbledore is notorious in the Ministry these days."
"Yeah, they all think that he deliberately caused trouble by spreading the news that the mysterious man has returned." George continued.
"Dad says Fudge made it clear that anyone who has anything to do with Dumbledore can no longer be in the Ministry," said Fred. We're on good terms, knowing we're rooting for Dumbledore, and Fudge has always thought Dad was a little weird to be so obsessed with Muggles."
Hermione nodded, probably understood what was going on, and sat beside Ai Wen in silence.
"After Percy made the announcement, Dad figured that Fudge had put Percy in his office to use him to spy on our house, and maybe even Dumbledore."
"Not surprisingly, Percy is definitely not willing to hear such words." Ivan said, knowing Percy's character very well.
"Yeah, he just went nuts when Dad said that, and he said a bunch of horrible things to Dad." Ron paused, and burst into a hollow laugh, "Well, he said that since he In the ministry, he's always had to struggle to get rid of the bad name his father and our family gave him, and he said that his father has no ambitions, so that we have been living poorly. You know, I mean us He didn't have much money all the time, in fact, what he said was quite reasonable..."
Ron stopped talking because Ginny let out an angry cat-like sound.
"Percy is too much!" said Hermione in disbelief. "How could he say such a thing!"
"It got worse after that!" went on Fred. "He said papa was stupid to be with Dumbledore, and that Dumbledore was going to be in trouble and papa would come with him." Unlucky."
"Did he not know that Voldemort was back?" Ivan asked.
"Probably knows, but he doesn't care!" said George, sarcastically. "Smart Percy, he said he knew his allegiance to the Ministry, and he said that if Mummy and Daddy insisted To betray the Ministry, he will have to let everyone know that he is no longer part of our family. He packed up and left that night, he is now living here in London..." Mobile phone users please Browsing and reading, a better reading experience.
