396. The wizarding world has changed

In St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries, Field was nibbling on an apple while looking at the Daily Prophet in his hand, and Grandma Nice was sitting on the edge of the bed with him.

At this time, Field, from the corner of his right eye to his ear, had a long scar that was unusually striking, which was the mark left by the explosion.

It's been more than a month since that battle, and he's been in a coma all the time, having just woken up three days ago. Of course, he was in a coma for so long not because of the explosion, but because of the after-effects of using 'Dandel's Gift'.

In that explosion, Field was able to save his life because Mr. Diggory gave his life in front of him at the last moment.

In that battle with Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Voldemort finally created two uncontrollable magic convergence points when he finally withdrew, and Dumbledore could only choose to suppress it in order to protect Field and Harry, who were present and could not apparition and move, but he successfully suppressed one, but it was too late to suppress the other. had to let everyone's phantom move away.

The latter magic convergence point exploded in front of Field, and at the last critical moment, Mr. Diggory's apparition appeared in front of him.

At the time of the explosion, there were only four people on the scene, Diggory's family of three and Dumbledore, the others had already flown away with phantoms, and Harry had been taken away by Sirius.

Of the four people on the scene, the nearest Mr. Diggory was in a hurry before he could put up all the shields, and the convergence point exploded. So he was severely injured, his right arm was broken at the root, the right half of his body was covered with burn scars, and his right eye was also necrotic due to the explosion.

Cedric didn't have time to come because of the distance, so he was just blown away

Field, on the other hand, was only burned to the corner of his eye under the protection of Mr. Diggory, and although he was in a coma for a long time, he was fine.

Dumbledore was the only one who could withstand such an explosion at close range, and after the explosion, he immediately sent Diggory's family of three to St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As a result of the timely treatment, Mr. Diggory was able to save his life, although he lost an arm and an eye, which is a blessing in disguise.

In the newspapers, several articles had already shaken the wizarding world, and the accompanying photos were shocking.

"The Return of the Mysterious Man, the Shadow Covers the Wizarding World", the photo shows the Dark Mark in the sky hideously distorted.

"Little Hangleston's War, Five Deaths of the Ministry of Magic", at the memorial service, the family hid their faces and wept.

"Cornelius Fudge is deposed for weakness and incompetence, and 'hero' Amos Diggory takes over", in the photo, Fudge turns around lonely, and Mr. Diggory takes the oath of office waving his metallic alchemy arm.

The article was written by Rita Skeeter, and it was fairly unbiased. The day before yesterday, when the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione came to visit him, Hermione told him that during the last match of the Triwizard Tournament, she told Sirius Black about the speculation that Rita Skeeter might be Animagus, and relying on Sirius Black's familiarity with Animagus, they caught Rita, who had turned into a beetle (hence the graveyard battle, and Black almost didn't catch up). Then, I signed a series of contracts with her, so her articles have converged a lot recently.

Field summed up the information he got in the newspaper.

"In that battle, the Ministry of Magic lost five wizards, including Fudge's henchman Delix. Seven Death Eaters died, but the bodies were destroyed by the explosion, and only Barty Crouch Jr. and Avery Wright were identified. Peter Peddiru didn't die, he turned into a rat and fled in a duel with Harry. ”

"Dad was promoted as a hero, so he became the Minister of Magic after Fudge stepped down, but now the Ministry of Magic is in a mess, and he has a headache in the future. Thankfully, Amelia Bones, the head of the Law Enforcement Division, has been a staunch supporter. Rufus Scrimgeour of the Auror Office had been unsuccessful in his father's bid for the position of Minister of Magic, but he wasn't the kind to deliberately hold people back. Unfortunately, Mr. Barty Crouch is crazy, otherwise it would have been a help (Barty Jr. didn't kill him in order to get his hair with a polypotion). ”

Field walked down pleasantly, a smile on his lips, the wizarding world was now overshadowed by Voldemort's shadow, but he was in a very good mood.

Years of arrangement have finally paid off, although it is not perfect, but it is enough to make him overjoyed, after all, Cedric is still alive, and Mr. Diggory, although he is not lightly injured, has also become the Minister of Magic as he wished.

"Grandma Nice, I'm almost ready to be discharged. Field put down the newspaper and said to Grandma Nice, who was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book.

Grandma Nice put down the book, "How are you going to spend the next vacation? Do you want to come with me to the United States and see the branch of the Nice studio?"

Field shook his head and said, "No, Grandma Nice, I have a lot of work to do this holiday, and I think Daddy needs me a lot right now." ”

"Are we talking about me?" the door opened, and Mr. Diggory walked in with a smile on his face, behind him Percy smiled at Field and quietly closed the door, he was now Mr. Diggory's assistant.

The large scar on his face, the necrotic right eye had been replaced by a blue crystal eye, and the right arm under the robe was now an alchemical work, all of which Grandma Nice had helped make, and the workmanship was beautiful and well-made, which was not at all the same grade as those on Professor Moody's.

"Dad, what's going on with the Ministry of Magic?" asked Field with a smile.

It's been a few days since Mr. Diggory took over as Minister of Magic, and he barely returns home these days, but he still finds a little time to see Field every day.

"During the Triwizard Tournament, because Cedric's camera recorded the entire video of Voldemort and the Death Eaters making a comeback, and Magic TV broadcast it, the whole world now knows the truth of the incident, and the whole wizarding world is in chaos. The Ministry's priority right now is to calm the panic. ”

"Well, how's it going?" asked Field.

"It's not bad, now that the Ministry of Magic is fully cooperating with Magic TV, Lockhart frequently reassures everyone in the show, and the articles in the Daily Prophet are also under some control, so everyone's mood has begun to slowly stabilize. Mr. Diggory said.

Field nodded, Girald Lockhart is a star wizard packaged by Magic TV in the past few years, and under the hype of Magic TV, many people now think that Lockhart is a powerful wizard comparable to Dumbledore. In the first two days of the show, Lockhart has begun to publicly declare that as long as Voldemort dares to come forward, he will be the first to act with Dumbledore to bring him to justice. Of course, Mrs. Diggory tells Field that Magic TV has gone to great lengths to get Lohartra, who is shivering under his desk, out to make this video.
