Chapter 328: The New Semester Begins
Harry immediately ran over and smiled excitedly, "Hey! Dude, you're such a face! I can't even imagine the scene in the courtroom! ”
"What a pity!" Ron looked regretful and said, "Bruce, you should have called me up too, it's a shame to miss this good show." Do you know www.biquge.info pen "Fun"? I've heard my dad talk about that nasty woman more than once, and if I had been there, I would have taken a few pictures of her and sent them to the Daily Prophet!
The Weasley brothers even idolized Bruce, and this kind of "big-spectacle" prank was simply their dream. Of course, there are also unhappy, such as Ron's brother Percy, who in his opinion Bruce's actions are simply rebellious.
Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley had just reprimanded him for refuting his father's speech, and he had returned to his room by this time.
Listening to everyone's "schadenfreude", Bruce smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! Guys, shall we talk about this later? Mrs. Weasley, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry right now. ”
Mrs. Weasley laughed, "Wait, dear! Breakfast was good for a while. ”
The smell of food was already wafting from the kitchen, and Bruce was even hungrier when he smelled it, so he went outside.
When she arrived in the courtyard, Hermione immediately asked, "Why are you only back now?" ”
I don't know what Hermione meant by this, but to Bruce, it definitely meant "judgment", and he said calmly: "I met Fleur and chatted with her for a while." I didn't do anything. ”
As soon as the name Fleur came out, Harry and Ron hurried towards the nearby mountains to splash blood. But I didn't think that Hermione not only didn't have a seizure, but laughed: "Hmm! I don't care if you're so honest. ”
Bruce didn't expect Hermione to say that, either, and asked, "Honey, are you...... I'm with Fleur, aren't you angry? ”
Hermione gave him a blank look and said, "Do I have to be angry?" What bad things can you do in such a short time. ”
"Wow! What do I hear? ”
At this time, the voices of George and Fred "surprised" came from behind the four people. The two looked at Bruce and Hermione "obscenely" and teased, "Bruce, you ...... That's amazing! ”
"I didn't expect you guys to progress so fast!"
Hermione, who "read poetry and books" and also knew some "physiological knowledge", turned red when she heard this, and instantly turned into a lioness and roared: "You two bastards! ”
George and Fred immediately sensed the danger and laughed and fled, but Hermione was snarled and chased after by the anger of their filthy jokes. Although Harry and Ron were slow to react, they were both teenagers who still had some understanding of the "continuation" of humanity, and they took advantage of Hermione's departure to tease them unceremoniously.
The next day, the Daily Prophet landed a blast of news, one that would make 99.9% of the Ministry of Magic staff applaud: Deputy Minister of Magic Dolores Umbridge stepped down!
Although the report on the incident is only a small article, it is also said that Umbridge voluntarily resigned as deputy secretary to concentrate on other matters. But people didn't care, so 99.9% of the people in the Ministry of Magic did the same thing, going to a secluded place after reading the newspaper and shouting "The sky has eyes".
According to Mr. Weasley, there was even a party to celebrate Umbridge's ouster. In short, Umbridge's "resignation" is a great thing for everyone in the Ministry of Magic, including those who are stimulated by her "sweet voice".
But that didn't include Bruce and Harry, because of the headlines in the Daily Prophet.
Although the reporters of the Daily Prophet thoroughly carried out the instructions of the Minister for Magic, Mr. Fudge, as always, they whitewashed the peace while satirizing Dumbledore, Harry, and Bruce. But the difference is that today they have implemented it more deeply, if the previous report was just "whitewashing", then today's report is simply a living slap in the face.
The report pointed the finger at the three of them for the current "false" information without any disguise, and even said that Bruce was the last to appear because he was timid to flee the field of the Triwizard, Harry won the championship because he used despicable means, and so on.
"Bang!"
Hermione angrily slapped the newspaper on the table and said angrily, "The Ministry of Magic wants to meddle in Hogwarts!" This is simply unreasonable. ”
Ginny was also very angry, saying, "The most hateful thing is that they blamed Harry and Bruce for all the dangers that the players encountered in the Final Three. And lo and behold! According to reliable sources, Bruce Sterling and Harry Potter used illegal means to join the tournament and used various cheating methods to frame the other three players during the match...... Oh, my God! Could it be that they witnessed it all with their own eyes? ”
Bruce, who was the worst hacked, looked at it very much and said, "Hehe! It's been expected, okay! Don't get so excited. ”
"Damn, I'm really worried that I'll be quarantined by my classmates when I get to school." Harry said in frustration.
For Harry, he didn't care about danger or anything, he was afraid of being isolated, and his circumstances since he was a child made him hate and fear loneliness. Hogwarts said to him that it was like home, and those classmates and friends were like family, and it was obviously very uncomfortable to be suspicious and isolated by his family.
Bruce advised, "Don't do that, Harry! We all know that's fake! ”
Harry smiled helplessly and said, "But there will always be people who will think it's true." ”
"But a lie is a lie, you don't have to care!" Hermione said.
In fact, both Fleur and Cedric had written to the Daily Prophet to remove the false reports about Bruce and Harry in the Final Three, and Krum, who was far away in Croatia, mentioned the same in a letter to Hermione. But those letters were like mud cows entering the sea without a trace.
For Harry, the only thing he could do was not to read the daily newspaper, and he was fortunate that Bruce, Hermione, and Ron had been with him before school started, which made him feel better.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of school.
Despite Bruce's repeated claims to be safe, the adults decided to have Moody and Tonks escort the trio to the platform. It's a terrible thing for an adventurous kid like Bruce to be overprotected and watched, and the only good thing is that because Moody and Tonks use magic, they don't have to push their luggage.
Jack was thrilled that he could finally stop hiding in his suitcase, and with the help of the invisibility charm, he could swagger into the station with his master.
"Alas!" Harry lamented and said, "I know they mean well, but honestly I don't want them to do that. ”
Hermione said helplessly: "I knew that if this was the case, I should have applied for the level exam in advance last semester, and now I can go directly to the station." ”
Bruce put his arm around Hermione and smiled, "You can do that this year too!" ”
Hermione gave him a blank look and said, "But it must be tiring because there are two guys holding back." ”
"Excuse me! Granger-san, were you talking about me and Harry? Ron asked angrily.
Ginny quipped, "Ron, don't be angry. After all, Hermione was telling the truth, hehe! ”
Ron was very dissatisfied with being slapped by his sister, and said angrily, "Ginny Weasley, I want to remind you that I am your brother!" ”
"Humph!" Ginny raised her face and said smugly: "So what! Am I helping people but not helping others, and is it wrong for me to speak for my sister-in-law? ”
"Sister-in-law!?" Ron asked in surprise, "When did Hermione become your sister-in-law!" ”
Bruce laughed, "Oooh! Sorry, Ron! I forgot to tell you, Ginny is my sister now, too. ”
Ginny immediately shook the ring on her right hand and smiled, "Look, Bruce gave it to me!" ”
"Really!" Ron said angrily; "One Lord of the Rings will buy you, Harry!"
Ron immediately looked for a helper and said, "Hermione also said about you just now, aren't you angry." ”
Harry smiled wryly and said, "I'd rather talk about Hermione now than be talked about by other people at school." ”
Ron immediately said, "Harry, why are you still thinking about this. We're not talking about ......"
"I know everything, but I can't do the mentality of Bruce." Harry said.
Bruce smiled and said, "Then believe it or not, a word from me can make you like me." ”
Harry was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Bruce smiled smugly and was about to speak, when Jack, who was beside him, suddenly screamed. Bruce subconsciously looked at Jack's reassurance, and then said in surprise: "Why is he here?" ”
"Who?"
The four of them looked behind them at the same time, and saw the big black dog that had been dirty running over.
"Sirius!"
Moody also noticed Sirius coming after him, and said angrily, "Damn! Blake, are you crazy? ”
Sirius didn't stop and walked straight to an empty break room, and the five hurriedly followed. Moody and Tonks stayed outside.
When they reached the common room, Sirius had "returned to its original form", and Harry hurriedly said, "Sirius, you shouldn't come here!" It's bad if someone finds out. ”
Harry's fears were not unreasonable, as the Ministry of Magic had established diplomatic relations with the British Parliament, and Sirius was also wanted in the Muggle world.
Sirius said unconcernedly, "I don't care about that, I have to see you off, do I?" ”
Bruce walked over and said, "But it doesn't need to be done in this way, it would be bad if the Aurors saw it." ”
Sirius laughed, "I'm not worried about that, I have a lot of ways to deal with those Aurors. ”
Bruce quipped, "So, I'm going to ask you more in the future!" ”
"Haha! Always welcome. After some teasing, Sirius took a picture from his clothes and handed it to Harry, saying, "This is for you." ”
Harry took the picture and looked at it, and said, "This is the ...... Mom and Dad?! and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley...... Pettigrew! This...... It's ......"
Hearing this, the three of them also looked at the photo, and Sirius said, "A group photo of the members of the Order of the Phoenix." ”
