Chapter 70: The Late Bureaucracy
People's thoughts are spinning rapidly, and the collision of thoughts under a thousand threads is only a few minutes in reality, and just when Malfoy's thoughts are surging, the girl who was fighting side by side just now also took the package that Malfoy said and put it on the counter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Thank you. Malfoy thanked him, then proceeded to unwrap the package, revealing its contents.
The girl originally looked at him expectantly, thinking that he could come up with some precious magic items to solve the current crisis that had not completely disappeared, but she did not get what she wanted, and when she saw it clearly, the expression on her face froze, as if she couldn't laugh or cry.
"You can come too, the battle is still quite physically demanding. As he spoke, Malfoy took a piece of chocolate from it and handed it to her, then ripped open the piece himself, opened the package, and threw it into his mouth.
"What do you mean by that. The girl did not accept his kindness, but asked, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you say that you would use the expulsion spell to solve your worries?"
"But I don't know that kind of spell. Malfoy shrugged.
"Then why do you want to.." Before the girl could finish her words, she heard some noise in the crowd behind her, and she guessed that the Dementors had made a comeback, and she immediately turned around and pointed her wand at the crowd, but she didn't cast a spell, because now she only saw some people waking up slowly, with fearful and worried expressions on their faces.
"Rest assured, they didn't come back. Malfoy patted her on the back of the shoulder and said, "Actually, these things are for them." He pointed to the candies and chocolates and said, "Muggle science has shown that chocolate has a pleasant function, and if you listen to their chemistry lessons, you might know dopamine or something, these things control people's emotions a lot, and for these people, it's better to have some chocolate." ”
"You don't have to show off your knowledge!" the girl snatched one of the packages from her hand, and slapped his hand away. Angry, he walked towards the crowd and handed out chocolates to those who had woken up.
Malfoy wouldn't know how her comrades-in-arms, who had been talking happily just now, were in a mood again, and they wouldn't know that she was now hiding her shame with anger.
Just now she only thought about driving out these nasty creatures, but she didn't think of these innocent people at all, which made her very hit by the good education since she was a child, since she was a child, her parents taught her to help when she saw difficulties and weakness, and she herself felt that she usually did a good job, for example, just now in the team to stand out for others, although the result is not very good, but she herself still has a clear conscience.
But just after the battle, she didn't think about the crowd that was unconscious now, she only thought about herself, what if the Dementors came back, and what way the boy would solve the possible crisis in the future.
"When did I become so selfish?" she asked herself, and at the same time her impression of Malfoy was a little better, calm and composed in the event of an accident, capable and capable, even in times of crisis.
"He told me to go in and get something, maybe it was to protect me, but I was afraid that the Dementors would come back and I wouldn't be able to solve it. And she thought to herself,
When a person's stereotype of another person is formed, it is easy to have a wrong perception of it, and some very normal behaviors can be over-interpreted.
In fact, Malfoy himself didn't think about it so much, but he had the ability to deal with it, and if the girl in front of him used the Patronus Charm better than him, he wouldn't mind serving as a logistics "soft meal".
As the pieces of chocolate were distributed, there was a sincere thank you, which made her a little happy and a little embarrassed, after all, the owner of these foods was not her, and the advice was not given by her, she was only responsible for the distribution.
Malfoy wasn't idle, he also took the rest of the food and handed it to those who had woken up, and there were some grateful glances and words.
"Click. "Suddenly, the silver door that had been closed to chase away the Dementors actually started to shake again, and a crack opened in it.
This time, Malfoy and the girl raised their wands in unison, and several wizards who had just woken up also took out their wands, hoping to do their part.
The expected black cloak did not appear, but instead a man's head protruded, gray hair with small curls.
After making sure that the creature trying to enter was human, they all lowered their wands.
"I'm sorry. The man who pushed open the door and came in glanced at the scene. Then he bowed deeply to the crowd.
Malfoy had time to observe the man, who was wearing a dark green coat and pinstriped robes, but it didn't match his short, stout figure, and Malfoy had seen it a few times in the Daily Prophet.
Incompetent bureaucracy - Cornelius Fudge
Then there is the common set of bureaucrats in various countries, he first introduces his identity, and then shows that under his management mistakes, the Dementors, who should have been disciplined and obedient, suddenly went out and did not listen to the command, which caused the accident.
Every politician is a natural actor, and he arrived at the scene as soon as possible to express his attitude, and a seemingly sincere apology, coupled with a heavy face of self-blame, made many victims who were not embarrassed to lose their temper again.
On the contrary, I feel that he dares to take responsibility.
"Then you have to thank these two children. A middle-aged man spoke up. "If they hadn't gotten rid of those two Dementors, we'd probably be asleep on the ground by now. ”
"Yes, yes, you have to reward both of them well, and it's not uncommon for me to apologize, anyway, politicians might as well fart. These are the words of an obese middle-aged woman, crude but not unreasonable.
The other people who have woken up are also talking about what you say and I say, and they all say something like that you should reward them well.
Fudge was a little embarrassed, but he rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile, "Where are they? Are they still there? I will definitely tell Headmaster Dumbledore to give them some points for their house." ”
He didn't think that there were any other students besides Hogwarts who could deal with these Dementors, since the person said that the child, it must not be too old, and the Minister of Magic, who was a human spirit, naturally made the most normal guess.
"Then you don't have to. The girl pulled Malfoy and took a step forward, indicating the identity of the two, Malfoy didn't want to be in the limelight, but after thinking about it, he let her pull him out.
Before Fudge could praise them, the girl spoke first, and her voice was pleasant, but Fudge sounded like a curse.
"I think I complained to the Department of International Magical Cooperation in my home country when I returned to Gringotts. ”
As soon as the words fell, Fudge's dry smile immediately stopped laughing, he didn't expect that he was so lucky, and he actually implicated international friends, diplomacy is no small matter, this sentence does not only work in Muggle society.
He was already anxious because of Blake's prison escape, and he felt that his political career might really be over.
"However, I find it troublesome to complain, and I think if I am in a good mood now, maybe I will forget about it when I return to France. The girl clapped her hands, and the sudden turn of events made Fudge's heart beat uncontrollably.
Before Fudge could speak, the girl continued to speak to herself. "The resolution of this accident is all due to him, I don't need your reward if I don't have anything to contribute, if you can satisfy him, then I should also forget what I should forget. ”
Then Malfoy was shoved in front of her.
"Hello, Uncle Fudge. Malfoy smiled politely and standardly, looking at the man in front of him.
