Chapter 476: The Family Arrives

But as long as it's not an alliance, it's a hiring, it's much simpler. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Employing some magical creatures, even evil creatures, is not an unacceptable thing for wizards.

Wizards are proud on the one hand, but on the other hand, they know how to be flexible, especially when necessary. Since it's not an alliance with monsters, things aren't so hard to accept, and hiring evil creatures is also an ancient tradition of wizards.

"Then leave the matter of hiring giants to Hagrid. He can first think about what the cost of hiring a giant is, and within a reasonable range, we can accept it. ”

George turned his gaze to Dumbledore and said calmly, "Of course, if the giants' demands are too unreasonable, I don't think the Aurors would mind confronting a few more monsters. ”

Dumbledore nodded slowly, this was more acceptable than the decision against Azkaban. I only hope that the kindness passed on in advance, coupled with Hagrid's relationship, can keep the giant from falling to Voldemort in battle.

With that, George began to enjoy his breakfast. He didn't know what questions those teachers would come to him for help next, but at least he had to hurry up and fill his stomach first.

Fudge stopped talking, he had more questions for George to get an idea. Voldemort's resurrection caused an uproar, and it wasn't just the simple questions of Azkaban and the giants.

What's even more troublesome is that the public opinion of wizards, their distrust of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, will have a huge negative impact on everything that follows.

Some time ago, he tried his best to suppress the rumors of Voldemort's resurrection in the Ministry of Magic, but Voldemort was resurrected and attacked Hogwarts with great fanfare.

Voldemort almost reigned in the world, and if it weren't for George's block, the entire wizarding world would be licking Voldemort's robe by now.

His previous misguided attitude of suppressing the news of Voldemort's resurrection made him receive a lot of criticism in the Ministry of Magic. Even Arthur Weasley, the good old man, seemed to ignore him, which was not a good thing. He knew that Arthur Weasley's family had a good relationship with George.

Yesterday's Daily Owl and Prophet, in addition to being mostly accusatory, questioned Dumbledore. There are also a small number of criticisms of him, accusations against him, accusations against the Ministry of Magic.

This caused Fudge to feel a bit of a crisis, and without George's support, his position as Minister of Magic was not very secure.

Fudge pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "In addition to the two things just now, more importantly, how do we clarify to the wizards what happened the day before yesterday. ”

"The rumors that came out of the school made the outside world panic, and we tried to clarify it, but we didn't know the specific situation about many things. ”

Fudge's eyes subconsciously glanced at Dumbledore, the person who really knew everything was the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world. But it's not easy to get him to tell everything.

He continued, "We're going to need to interrogate Barty Crouch Jr., who's been hiding at Hogwarts for almost a year, and he must know a lot of information. ”

Yesterday, others kept asking Barty Jr. to interrogate him. But Fudge kept the interrogation from beginting, and he waited for George to wake up.

While he was equally eager to find out what was going on, the most important thing in this situation would always be to get George's support. A major event like the interrogation of Barty Jr. would never have started without George's involvement.

George pondered these questions as he ate his bread. For most things, he had some plans before, but the changes and development of things will affect the next decision. Next, the first thing to do is to interrogate little Barty.

"Wait, we'll start interrogating Barty Jr., and—" George's voice stopped. There was a commotion and the sound of footsteps, and many people walked in from outside the auditorium.

George glanced in the direction of the door, and was surprised to see two familiar figures.

He immediately stood up, wiped his mouth and hands with a towel, and strode up.

Fudge slammed his chair away in a panic and followed.

"I don't think it's nice to read the news of your victory over Voldemort in the Daily Prophet. A voice, speaking in a stern tone.

George touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "It came so suddenly, I had to face Voldemort head-on." After the battle, I was so tired that I had just gotten up for breakfast, and I was about to write to you. ”

If beforehand, he was afraid that his family would worry, and deliberately concealed that Voldemort might attack in a big way. Then after the battle, he was really tired and forgot everything, and now, he had just gotten up, and he hadn't had time to think about him.

"Yes, Mrs. Soros. Mr. George has just gotten up, and we are pestering him to make up his mind about Azkaban and the giants, and he hasn't been busy yet, and it's all our fault that he hasn't had time to write to you. ”

"Now, let's not bother Mr. George," said Fudge, "so let's talk." Other things can be said later. ”

Fudge immediately made a decision for the others, and at this time, Mr. George should be left to handle his own affairs first, and the rest of the things could be talked about later.

A group of teachers glared at Fudge, and before they could agree, Fudge took matters into his own hands. They don't think that small talk with their families is more important than Voldemort's affairs.

Snape's face was gloomy, and his eyes looked at Dumbledore with a complicated look, but then he showed a hint of disgust and looked away. He set his gaze on George, his face contemplative.

"George.—" Professor Flitwick had just spoken, when he saw George raise his hand and make a gesture.

George motioned for them to stay out of their mouths, and he said quietly.

"I'm sorry, I had to miss me. There's something to talk about later. Fudge and Dumbledore are here, and you're going to need to discuss things first, and prepare each other for what to do. After noon, we interrogate little Barty first, and after that, we deal with other things. ”

In an instant, George had made up his mind. Voldemort was still injured and would not have come out at all, and at this time, there was nothing more important than the conversation with his family.

With that, George took his grandmother and Anna and walked out of the castle.

Stepping on the lawn, facing the slight cool breeze of the early morning, and the faint golden glow, they chatted calmly outside the castle.
