Chapter 20: Give Me Face
The sun had risen high, a few faint clouds were floating in the sky, and under the blue sky, the originally empty venue was already lively.
"Damn, they're going to ruin the Ministry's hard work!!" Percy Weasley said to his family in a frustrated manner.
"Come on, Percy, you can spare us. A tall boy next to him smiled at Percy, and then quipped, "Aren't you already preparing for a job in the ministry right now?"
Percy glared at him, ignoring him, and the tall boy shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly.
If Carl had been here, he would have recognized the tall boy who he was, with long hair tied up in a ponytail and an earring on his ear with a small fan-like thing hanging from it, quite hippie-like.
The eldest of the Wesleys, Bill Weasley.
"Ron, you're good friends with Harry Potter, aren't you?
As he spoke, Ginny, the youngest of the Weasleys, immediately looked at her two older brothers.
Ginny Weasley, like the rest of the Weasley family, has red hair that falls over her shoulders.
After all, she had just turned eleven, and Ginny looked a little short compared to Ron, who was only a year older than her.
The latter has entered the age of development, only one year has passed, and Ron has grown significantly taller than when he first entered school last year.
And Ginny looks like she hasn't grown at all, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the girl is definitely a beauty.
However, it is not ruled out that it may be crooked in the future.
"Ah, yes, I guess so......" Ron, dodging his brother's gaze, Ron said vaguely.
Harry was indeed Ron's best friend, but since the end of last year, and it is unknown who started first, the two have gradually become estranged, and since then, the two have rarely taken the initiative to communicate unless they meet directly, even if the two still live in the same dormitory.
During the summer vacation, Ron almost forgot about his best friend, and he finally collected a set of decks, and he spent the whole vacation concentrating on studying the style of play, and didn't care about anything else.
"Ron!"
Suddenly, a voice came into Ron's ears, and Ron immediately came to his senses, looked up, and immediately smiled.
"Here, Hermione!"
Ron waved vigorously at the brown-haired girl in the distance.
The girl had shaggard, thick brown hair and a smile on her face, but if you looked closely, she looked a little haggard.
"Hi Ron. Hermione came to Ron.
"I thought you weren't coming. Ron said excitedly.
Ron was a little happy in his heart, he had always regretted what he said to Hermione when he was in the first grade, but in the nearly a year since he entered Hogwarts, except for the first month or two, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and he didn't expect the girl to come to him on his own initiative.
"Hermione, let me introduce you, this is my brother Bill. Ron excitedly pointed to his eldest brother.
"Hi Hermione. Bill smiled at Hermione, and Hermione smiled in return, and the two shook hands, but it was obvious that Hermione was a little absent-minded.
The girl's eyes weren't on Ron's family, but instead looked around, but Ron didn't notice it.
"Hermione, who are you coming with?"
Without waiting for Hermione to reply, Ron added, "If you don't have a companion, you can join us in the game, and my mom and dad will be here in a moment, and I can introduce them to you......"
Ron's mouth seemed to open the conversation, and after opening his mouth, his mouth never stopped.
Beside her, looking at her youngest brother, Ginny seemed to have noticed something, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and Bill couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
As for Percy, he didn't know where to run by this time.
Seeing that Ron was talking more and more, Hermione's face finally showed a trace of impatience, and she hurriedly said while the former was speaking:
"Ron, can I ask you something?"
Ron was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course, as long as I know." ”
"Did you see Carl?"
The smile on Ron's face froze suddenly.
It was as if a century had passed, "No, no." ”
Seeing this, Hermione sighed.
Soon, the girl squeezed out a smile and squeezed out a smile. "Thank you, Ron. ”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave, when a voice came from a distance, and Hermione's footsteps were paused.
"See who this is?"
Draco Malfoy walked from a distance with a haughty step.
He glanced at Ron with disdain, then at Bill and Ginny standing next to him, and the disdain on their faces intensified when they noticed that both of their hair was red.
Then, Malfoy's gaze swept over Hermione, who was about to leave, and paused, as if to say something, but immediately, he swallowed back the words that had already come to his lips, glanced at Hermione with some fear, and looked back at Ron.
"Weasley ......"
As he said the last name, as if he had something dirty in his mouth, Malfoy's face looked like he was about to vomit.
Ron's face immediately swollen red, and he clenched his fists in anger, and Bill frowned behind him.
Seeing this, Malfoy smiled smugly and said sarcastically: "I really didn't expect to see you here, your parents can't buy tickets after selling the house, right?"
"Bang!" Almost no one could see what was happening, and Malfoy had fallen heavily to the ground not far away.
Bill looked at Hermione in amazement, among the three siblings, he was the only one who could see what was going on, when Malfoy said what he just said, he had already drawn his wand, ready to teach the latter a lesson, but he didn't expect Hermione to be faster than him.
"Draco, what's wrong with you?!" an exclamation was heard.
Seeing her son fall to the ground, Narcissa Malfoy ignored her usual reserve, trotted to Malfoy's side, half-knelt on the ground, and lifted her son up, so that the latter's head rested on his lap.
Immediately afterward, Lucius Malfoy arrived.
He squatted down to inspect his son's condition, and was slightly relieved to see that there was no major problem, and then he stood up from the ground and looked around with a gloomy face, at this time, there were already many people around, several of whom were Hogwarts students.
"Who did that?" he said, his eyes locked on Hermione and the Weasley siblings.
"Ahem......" Draco coughed in Narcissa's arms.
Hermione didn't hurt at all just now, but her strength was very strong, and she directly knocked Malfoy into a daze, and this time she coughed out and was immediately fine.
With his mother's support, Malfoy rose from the ground.
"Who is it!!!" glared at the four of them, Narcissa said hatefully, and even drew her wand.
This look frightened Ron and Ginny's faces a little pale, and they were not to blame, the appearance of an adult wizard being angry was not something that two junior wizards could bear.
It was Hermione, who looked as usual.
At this moment, Bill stepped forward and stood in front of the three of them, while secretly clenching his wand.
He's ready to fight it off.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had not yet arrived, and as the eldest son in the family, he should have stepped forward.
And he couldn't let a little girl like Hermione face the wrath of the Malfoys.
Fortunately, this is already the outer venue of the Hearthstone World Championships, as long as he can carry it until the officials of the Ministry of Magic arrive.
However, it backfired.
Before he could speak, Hermione's voice came from behind him.
"It's me. The girl's voice was calm, as if Ben didn't realize what was going to happen next.
Bypassing Bill, Hermione stepped to the front, facing the Malfoys alone.
Even the Malfoys were stunned for a moment.
Not only them, but in the crowd of onlookers, a boy who looked fourteen or fifteen years old and looked ordinary, saw this, and hurriedly took out a badge with three-legged eyes and whispered to it.
It was only a moment before Malfoy finally realized that they had apparently recognized Hermione's identity, and Narcissa Malfoy pointed the tip of her staff at Hermione.
"Filthy mudbloods, how dare you?!"
Rumble!
Narcissa Malfoy could never have imagined the astonishing effect of just one of her words.
"Kenrito's, assembled, someone scolded Hermione for being a mudblood!!"
With a loud roar from Jim Green, in an instant, more than a dozen young wizards and wizards emerged from the crowd, instantly surrounding the Malfoy family in the middle.
"You'll pay for what you say!" said Jim, and as he spoke, a dozen young wizards raised their wands at the Malfoys.
The scene is about to get out of hand.
At this moment, a gentle voice reached everyone's ears.
"Guys, give me a face. ”
Immediately afterwards, a tall boy who looked handsome, but did not know everyone present, appeared in the center of the field out of thin air, and immediately attracted everyone's attention to him.
The boy looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, lingering on Hermione for a moment, then turning to face the Malfoys, meeting Mr. Malfoy's eyes.
"Lucius, what do you say?"
At this time, there was a bang of "bang", and two more people appeared out of thin air.
"Carl?!"
Hermione, who did not change her face even in the face of the Malfoys alone, was surprised and happy at this time, and happily, after half a year, Carl finally appeared again, and to her surprise, Carl was in a bad state at this time.
With Harry's support, Karl barely stood up, but his face was pale and almost transparent.
At the same time, if you look closely, you will find that although Voldemort has appeared one step ahead of Karl, the latter is not in a good state, his black robe has been torn in several places, and a half-exposed arm seems to have been frozen in the refrigerator, giving off an abnormal blue-gray color.
However, the latter was much better spirited than Karl, and he didn't know if it was because of the disguise on his face or other reasons, and he was looking at his former follower with a playful expression.
Lucius Malfoy was a little puzzled at first at the gaze of the former, and then seemed to remember something, his body inexplicably swayed, and with a snap, the wand in his hand fell directly to the ground.
