Chapter 288: Future Minister Hermione Granger
With the arrival of the Owl in the Daily Prophet, the news of Barty Crouch's death by Rove quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.
The students were all holding newspapers in their hands, eager to know what had happened last night.
The same was true for the Gryffindor students, but when Harry and Ron arrived in the auditorium, the lion cubs all looked up and looked at them.
Harry and Ron didn't need to ask, and they knew why they looked at them as if they were looking at magical garbage.
Gryffindor House was two hundred points less last night...... They both did it!
In just one night, Harry and Ron destroyed all of Gryffindor's hopes of winning the House Cup this academic year.
Doing such a frenzied thing, not to mention eye attacks, even if they are bullied by other students and eat their leftovers, Harry and Ron feel that everyone is a high-quality group.
The two sat down at the table, and George gloated:
"I warned you a long time ago, the investigation has been very strict at night recently, and it is easy to be arrested for night tours, but you two don't listen, so let's try the law now."
"Two hundred." Fred also shook his head and said:
"I've accumulated it over the past few years, I'm afraid I haven't deducted so many points, you two do so much in one night, it's really amazing."
What the twins admired the most was that Harry and Ron had to do this kind of thing every year for the past four years, helping Gryffindor House go straight to the bottom ...... It's terrible to be self-disciplined.
It can only be said that the two of them were able to safely go up to the fourth grade, and they were not yet thrown into the Black Lake in the middle of the night by the Gryffindor students to feed the mermaids...... It's all thanks to the rule of law.
"Who knew that Professor Moody's magic eye could see through the cloak of invisibility." Harry sighed.
"Although we deducted points, we saw something terrible last night."
Like a riddler, Ron said in a mysterious tone:
"If I say it, you'll be surprised!"
Sure enough, this attracted the attention of the other students, and everyone looked at Ron, which gave him great satisfaction.
When he got back last night, Ron tossed and turned, eager to use the sensational events he had witnessed as a conversation point to brag about with the other students.
I saw that as if he knew the inside story of Tianda, he coughed his throat and said:
"In the middle of last night, Durmstrang's magic ship caught fire...... Rove is involved! ”
Surprised, surprised, shocked?!
Ron looked at the other students, only to find that everyone was looking at him with blank faces, as if they were looking at a big fool.
"That's it?" George rolled his eyes, "I thought we already knew what was going on." ”
"You already knew?" Ron exclaimed, "This can't be! ”
"Read more of the newspapers, Ron." Fred waved the Daily Prophet in his hand and said, "You really eat, you can't catch up with the heat." ”

After breakfast, the students walked in groups to their classrooms.
Rove, Shirley, and Hermione also left the auditorium and walked up a remote staircase, discussing the Death Eater report.
In the article, he describes how the Death Eaters of Azkaban escaped en masse, and how Minister Fudge found out about this and gave the Aurors a wise command to confront the Death Eaters.
Among them, Minister Fudge himself took the lead, did not avoid the curse, killed seven in and seven out of the Death Eaters, and was wounded by more than ten wounds, successfully leading the Aurors to annihilate the Death Eaters.
When Rove read it through, he felt less like news and more like magic, and Fudge wasn't Fudge, but ...... Gandalf.
For such an outrageous article, Rove could only comment: "This news was published in Luna's "Singing Contrarian" magazine. ”
"Are the corpses of those Death Eaters Aurors who have taken Polyjuice Potion?" Shirley asked.
"That's pretty much it." Rove sighed softly, "There may be some ordinary wizards or Muggles captured by the Death Eaters. ”
When a wizard dies before the effects of the Polyjuice decoction wears off, they will remain in their transformed form instead of returning to their original form...... This is also a common method of bluffing death.
It's just a pity for those innocents!
"Why doesn't Minister Fudge want to believe what you and Professor Dumbledore say?" Hermione frowned and said:
"How could you two lie to him."
"Hermione, it's not that Fudge doesn't believe it, it's that he can't believe it." Rove looked at the girl and patiently explained:
"In the past two years, there have been successive incidents of Peter Pettigrew escaping, a Quidditch World Cup attack, and Barty Crouch's escape.
One thing after another, Fudge's prestige has long been exhausted, and everyone's dissatisfaction with him has almost accumulated to a peak. ”
"At this juncture, if there is such a terrible news as the collective escape of the Death Eaters, how long do you think he can be a minister without being ousted?"
"So, not only can Fudge not trust me and Dumbledore, but he will also do the opposite, using those corpses to concoct an article about the Aurors annihilating the Death Eaters to increase his prestige."
"But sooner or later, the truth will be revealed!" Shirley said.
"So Fudge is gambling, betting that everything we say is false." Rove shrugged and said, "Even if it's true, before the truth is revealed, he can be a minister for a while longer, which is better than stepping down now." ”
"But it's the wizarding world that's suffering." Hermione's willow eyebrows were raised, and she gritted her teeth in anger: "How can Fudge be like this!" ”
"Politicians are like that, they can do anything in front of their own interests." Rove said: "Even if it is treason and collaborator. ”
Shirley was thoughtful, but Hermione pursed her lips and snorted coldly:
"If one day, I become the Minister of Magic, I will definitely not be like this, but I will think about the wizarding world wholeheartedly."
Rolf gave Hermione a thumbs up and complimented:
"That's a beautiful thing to say, so I hope you can keep your original intention in the future and be a good minister to the people, Miss Minister Granger."
"Don't scream, let others hear!" Hermione looked left and right, stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and said:
"I'll just say casually, I can't really be the Minister of Magic."
"It's possible together." Rove encouraged.
"That's right." Shirley also smiled, "Rove and I can help you." ”
"Hermione, I'll go through your back door when the time comes, you must not turn your face and deny people." Rove joked.
"No, it won't!" Hermione also smiled and waved her hand:
"When I become Minister of Magic, then I don't have to say-Shirley-Senior Adviser to the Minister and Director of the Law Enforcement Division--Rove-"
Hermione blinked and said slyly, "The box is confiscated, and the man is sent to Azkaban." ”
The girl ran away, only to be grabbed by the back of the neckline by Rove, pulled back to the place, and then scratched at her neck, and she laughed.
The three of them chased and played in the stairwell, playing happily, and when the bell rang, they suddenly remembered that there was still class in the morning, and several people were already late!
They hurried towards the classroom, and as they were about to part at the staircase, Shirley asked in a low voice, "Rov, do you need to contact Margaery?" ”
"Well, let Margaret watch Rita Skeeter write an article exposing the truth about the Death Eaters." Rove confessed:
"But don't send the article out for now, we don't have any evidence that the Death Eaters are still alive, we have to get a picture."
"Let's let Fudge bounce." The young man smiled and said, "Don't look at the joy he is dancing now, he will pull the list sooner or later in the future." ”
