After a few more words with Ryan, Professor Dumbledore left. This is because, on the one hand, in the current situation he is very busy and does not have much free time. On the other hand, at Headmaster Dumbledore's age, most of the people in the room were his students, and many of them would be embarrassed to relax if he sat here.

"What did Professor Dumbledore ask you for?" asked Hermione as she sat down next to Ryan with two glasses of cold butterbeer as she watched Mr. Headmaster leave.

"He told me that I would go with him to Azkaban tomorrow morning to pick up Malfoy's father. Ryan said after taking the butterbeer from Hermione's hand. "Lucius Malfoy is out on bail and we need to get him to safety. ”

"Bail successful?" Hermione asked, incredulous. "Can Lucius Malfoy, the core Death Eater, actually be released on bail?"

"Yes, indeed. Ryan nodded. "Before writing to Headmaster Dumbledore, I obtained the internal files of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement through Percy. I was struck by the fact that Lucius Malfoy was only involved in those attacks that were related to ordinary people on rare occasions and that there was no homicide in the attacks. That's why he was allowed bail. ”

Ryan was surprised when he first saw the files, but was soon relieved. In the original book, after the end of the Second War, no one in the Malfoy family was in prison because of their status as Death Eaters, and it can be said that they were in prison just because they helped. Especially since both Harry and Hermione are the kind of people who believe in justice from the bottom of their bones, if the Malfoy family members are really the kind of people who kill innocents indiscriminately, I think Harry will not agree to let the Malfoys go unpunished at all.

"Incredible. Hermione said in surprise when she heard what Ryan said. "It's hard for me to believe that an extreme pedigree like Malfoy doesn't have a human life on his hands. ”

"But that's just the way it is. Ryan explained to Hermione after taking a large sip of Butterbeer. "Their family is not so much a pure-blood, but more of a power and wealth. The Malfoys were even active in Muggle aristocratic circles until the Wizarding Secrecy Act was enacted in 1692, and according to notes found in my Sirius family, they had to quit Muggle society in order to comply with secrecy laws, and the Malfoys were staunch opponents of the ordinance at the time. ”

"It's really an interesting history. Hermione was quickly intrigued by the secret, and she placed the cold butterbeer on the table before asking. "What else do you know about this?"

"According to the grapevine. The first Lucius Malfoy had unsuccessfully courted Elizabeth I, and some historians of magic even claimed that the queen's subsequent opposition to marriage was due to Malfoy's curse. Ryan first broke the news, further aroused Hermione's interest, and then continued.

"For centuries, Malfoy has lived by the principle of self-preservation. Since the secrecy code came into effect, Malfoy had severed ties with the Muggle nobility. Malfoy believed that further opposition and protest would only take them away from the new center of power, the newly established Ministry of Magic. They took a 180-degree turn in their attitude and began to stand in solidarity with the Ordinance like those who had supported the bill from beginning to end, and denied that they had any dealings with Muggles. ”

"It seems that every generation of Malfoy is so cunning. Hermione commented after thinking of something.

"Yes. Ryan nodded, "They prefer to use their wealth or money to stand behind the scenes rather than go to the front, which is why I believe they have not killed innocents indiscriminately." ”

"That's right. Hermione nodded. "According to you, the Malfoys should be the kind of people who put their interests first and like to hide behind the scenes. This kind of person can't be like those street gangsters who directly and openly run to kill people just for the sake of venting or a certain idea. Because it is not in his interest to do so. ”

"That's true. Ryan said. "According to the archives I found, in the last war, the Malfoy family mainly used their own rights and money to buy secrets and personnel for the mystery people and the Death Eaters, and at the same time provided financial support to the Death Eaters, but there was no record of participating in the battle. Or, to be more precise, members of the Malfoy family had never been seen publicly on the battlefield before the last battle for the Ministry of Magic. ”

"And what was the last battle in the Ministry of Magic?" asked Hermione, curious.

After the resurrection of the mysterious man, he developed a deep sense of distrust of the Death Eaters who escaped the trial instead of entering Azkaban for him. Therefore, he demanded that Lucius Malfoy, who had been standing behind the scenes, must fight Harry openly to ensure that the Malfoys would be 100% on his side. ”

"Is it similar to what the Celestial Empire call a petition?" Hermione said in Mandarin.

"That's what it looks like. Ryan confirmed, "The Mystic must make sure that the Malfoy family is no longer duplex this time, and must be wholeheartedly loyal to him, and this public attack on the Ministry of Magic is aimed at that end." ”

"So after messing everything up, Malfoy has to fall on Dumbledore and us. Because this is the only way to save his life and his family. Hermione immediately answered, "But do you think a pure-blood like Malfoy can really blend in with us?"

"You're mistaken, we don't need him to get together with us. Ryan corrected, "Just as the Mystics have been trying to divide us, we should do the same to divide the Death Eaters." And the Malfoy is only to show them that they have other options than the mystery man. Doing so won't divide the Death Eaters, but it will create more rift and suspicion between the Mystic and his men. As for Malfoy, it doesn't really matter what they think. ”

"Not to mention that the Malfoys are purely profit-seeking animals, and I believe that they will take the initiative to get close to us after seeing the current situation. At least in public. Based on the Malfoys' previous habits, Ryan deduced. "Of course, it basically can't come from their hearts. But on the surface that's enough for us. And more complicated things don't need to be thought about until the end of the war. ”

"Then I wish you and Dumbledore all the best tomorrow. Hermione raised her glass as she listened, and Ryan immediately touched her with the glass in his hand, and then raised her glass to drink the remaining butterbeer from the glass.

Ryan has attended many weddings before, whether it is a wedding he attended in his previous life or a wedding that he went out with his parents in this life. But he had never seen a wizard's wedding.

He and Hermione walked around the wedding for some time afterward, and they saw bottles of champagne floating in the crowd, and in the center of the tent was a huge cake with two phoenix models on top, and they spread their wings when the cake was opened.

At the same time, it may be because the wedding is a rare time for everyone to get together, so this wedding lasts for a long time. As night fell, the canopy was illuminated by golden lanterns floating in mid-air, and moths began to flutter in flocks under the canopy, and the atmosphere of revelry became stronger and more unrestrained. Fred and George had long since disappeared into the darkness with a pair of Fleur's cousins. Charlie, Hagrid, and a chunky wizard in a purple pie-style hat sing "Otto the Hero" in the corner.

After a few hours of juddling, Ryan and they were also tired. So he and Hermione ran outside hand in hand to the table and chairs on the edge of the bushes. After turning a hedge, I saw Lupin and Tonks who were about to walk out with several disguised werewolf representatives, Lupin seemed to have drunk a little too much and staggered a little. Tonks, on the other hand, was amused at Lupin and babbling something.

"Are you leaving now, I think the Weasleys should have enough room for all their guests. Ryan looked at them and said.

"We won't bother them. A muscular-looking werewolf replied. Ryan remembered that his name was William, and he was a former Auror. "The British Ministry of Magic is not kind to us at all, and we are glad to be at the wedding, and we shouldn't be in trouble with the good Weasleys. ”

"And where are you going next?" Hermione asked Tonks, who should be called Lady Lupin by now, of course.

"We are planning to travel to Northern Europe for a month. "Lupin was so tired during this time that he needed a good rest." ”

"Then I wish you all the best. Ryan watched as the werewolves walked far before returning to the joyous wedding scene.
