Chapter 844: Percy who betrayed

After receiving Lupin's letter, Evan and Hermione returned to England, three days after Harry was attacked by the Dementors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They were greeted by Mr. Weasley and Professor Moody's at the airport, and the group headed straight back to 12 Grimmauld Place.

This is now the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and it is a different scene than it was a month ago.

The Weasleys had all moved from the Burrow, and there were many members of the Order of the Phoenix.

From Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny, Evan and Hermione know about the changes in the last month.

The situation in the wizarding world hadn't changed much compared to before they left, and Harry's case was probably the biggest incident in recent times.

Public opinion was unfavorable to them, and the Daily Prophet reported on it.

The Ministry of Magic is doing everything in its power to suppress Dumbledore, and by various means, he has now resigned from all positions except for the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Otherwise, Sirius wrote a letter back from Norway every week, and for security reasons, it didn't say anything other than to report his safety and ask everyone to help take care of Harry, and no one knew what he was doing there.

Lupin's communication with the werewolves didn't know how far it had progressed, and he only came back occasionally.

Each time, he looked particularly tired, and Evan and Hermione hadn't seen him for a few days when they had returned.

In fact, because they weren't allowed to join the Order of the Phoenix, Ron and the four of them didn't know much information.

They weren't allowed to attend the meeting, and Fred and George tried their best to eavesdrop on it, and the information they received was extremely limited.

They didn't even know when to pick up Harry or keep him in the Dursleys.

From them, Evan knew that the biggest change had to do with Percy.

When Hermione asked where Percy was, Evan remembered the reaction of the Weasley siblings.

They exchanged a melancholy look of meaning, and Ron said nervously, "You two must not mention Percy in front of Mom and Dad, and tell Harry not to do that when he comes." ”

"Why?" Hermione looked at him puzzled.

Ron jumped up a lot higher this summer, which made his clothes look a little smaller.

Because every time Percy was mentioned, Dad would smash what he was holding in his hand to pieces, and Mom would cry out loud. Fred said.

"It's horrible. Ginny said sadly.

"Anyway, I think we've finally gotten rid of him. George said, with a strange look on his face that was hard to see.

"What the hell is going on?" Hermione asked.

Evan probably understood what was going on, and Fudge must have taken the opportunity to woo Percy, and the guy didn't hesitate to go to the Ministry of Magic.

"It was the first week after the semester ended, shortly after the two of you left. Ron said, looking at the dusty Evan and Hermione, "We were getting ready to join the Order of the Phoenix, and Percy came home and told us he had been promoted. ”

"How is that possible?" said Hermione, surprised, "aren't they investigating Percy?"

In the case of Barty Crouch, Percy was guilty of a more serious negligence.

He did not realize that his boss was under Voldemort's control, which led to his first job at the Ministry of Magic being unsuccessful.

Under normal circumstances, Percy's career at the Ministry of Magic basically came to an end, and it ended in a hurry before it began.

While in Egypt, Bill also told Evan that Mrs. Weasley wanted him to help Percy find a job inside Gringotts.

Evan also thought that if he couldn't do it, it would be okay for Percy to work at Hogwarts Wizardry.

After returning this time, he decided to fight back against the magic newspaper in public opinion.

"We were also surprised. "Because Percy got into a lot of trouble with Crouch, and then it was an investigation or something." They said that Percy should have been aware of Crouch's insanity and reported it to his superiors in a timely manner. But you know Percy, Crouch left him alone, and he was desperate. ”

"Then how could they still promote him?"

"We're wondering about that, too. Ron continued, "He came home looking triumphant, more smug than usual, and you can imagine that he told Dad that they had given him a position in Minister Fudge's office. For a man who had just graduated from Hogwarts, it was a great job: assistant minister, I think he probably expected his father to be happy. ”

"But Dad didn't. Fred said gloomily, "Fudge is furious in the Ministry, forbidding anyone to have any contact with Dumbledore, and as you all know, Dumbledore is discredited in the Ministries these days. ”

"yes, they all thought he was deliberately causing trouble by spreading the news that the mysterious man had returned. George followed.

Dad said that Fudge had made it clear that anyone who had anything to do with Dumbledore could no longer stay in the Ministry. Fred said, "The problem is, Fudge is suspicious of Dad, he knows that Dad's relationship with Dumbledore is good, he knows that we are supporting Dumbledore, and Fudge has always thought that Dadge is a little weird and so obsessed with Muggles." ”

Hermione nodded, probably understanding what was going on, and sat silently beside Aven.

"After Percy announced the news, Dad pondered that Fudge had placed Percy in the office in order to use him to spy on our family, even Dumbledore. ”

Not surprisingly, Percy must have been very reluctant to hear such a thing. Evan said, well aware of Percy's character.

"That's right, when he heard Dad say this, he was so mad that he said a lot of horrible things to Daddy. Ron paused, and suddenly let out a hollow laugh, "Well, he said that since he joined the ministry, he has had to struggle desperately to get rid of the bad reputation that Dad and our family brought him, and he also said that Dad has no ambitions, which has caused us to have a shabby life. You know, I mean we haven't had a lot of money, and he has a point......

Ron couldn't go any further, as Ginny let out an angry cat-like cry.

"Percy is too much!" Hermione said in disbelief, "how could he say such a thing!"

"It was even worse!" Fred continued, "and he said that Daddy was stupid to be in the company of Dumbledore, and that Dumbledore was in big trouble and that Daddy would be unlucky with him." ”

"Didn't he know Voldemort was back?" asked Aven.

"I guess I know, but he doesn't care!" said George, in a mocking tone, "clever Percy, he says he knows who he ought to serve, and that he is loyal to the Ministry of Magic. He also said that if Mom and Dad insisted on betraying the Ministry of Magic, he would let everyone know that he was no longer part of our family. He packed up and left that night, and now he's living here in London......"
