After that, the Ministry of Magic began preparations for the Quidditch World Cup and Triwizard Tournament. I learned from Fudge that the preparation was very hard, working overtime day and night. Ron, was Mr. Arthur busy during that time? ”

"I didn't come home much" Ron knew best how busy his father was during that time.

"One person should be used for ten people, I remember this is his exact words." Ivy continued, "Do you think that in this case, the people from the Ministry of Magic will have time to run abroad?" ”

“... Maybe someone who arranged the doorkey happened to come across it? Harry guessed. He didn't want the clue to be interrupted, but he didn't think it would be such a coincidence.

Judging from what Voldemort said, he did learn about these two pieces of information by accident, not for a purpose. Moreover, the doorkey is arranged immediately in a certain area, and there is no ambush. If you meet by chance... I think even if he happened to meet someone who set up the door key, Peter's first instinct was to hide. Besides, it's OK to throw the doorkey on the ground, and it doesn't take much time. It's unlikely."

"I'll just say it's not from the Ministry of Magic!" Ron stiffened and glanced at Harry arrogantly.

"Misunderstanding, Ron" Ivey's eyes signaled him to be quiet, "The people in the Ministry of Magic are very suspicious, listen to me carefully to narrow down the scope." The chance of encountering a staff member is very small, and no one in the Ministry of Magic has time to do anything other than work, with some exceptions. ”

"Which ones?" Harry immediately asked

"The man on leave" Betty spoke suddenly, clearly thinking of the key.

"That's right," Ivey smiled and nodded, "People on vacation have plenty of time, and if you're out playing, there's a chance you'll meet Peter by chance." ”

"Can't get busy, and someone is on vacation?" Ron was skeptical

"Yes, I'm pretty sure," Ivey said categorically, "on the eve of the World Cup, the morning of the trip to Stoat. When Betty and I arrived at your house, only Mr. Arthur and Mrs. Molly were awake and busy. When we arrived, Lady Molly went upstairs to wake you up, leaving Mr. Arthur to talk to us. I remember very vividly that Mr. Arthur, in the process of complaining about the heavy workload, mentioned that a man was urgently recalled by the Ministry of Magic after only half of his annual leave. ”

"Didn't Mr. Arthur say who it was?" Harry hurriedly asked Ron, "You write a letter to ask Mr. Arthur"

"Say," Betty's cold voice calmed Harry, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be called Bertha Jorkins"

"That's right, that's it" Ivy was a little thirsty and took a sip of water.

"Sounds like a woman's name," Ron muttered

"Don't guess, it's a woman"

"So Bertha Jorkins is very suspicious?" Harry suddenly felt a sense of joy that had cleared the clouds

"It's not sure if she's the only one on vacation. I'll find someone to ask, just wait for my news. ”

.....

In the afternoon, the Iron Triangle went to class, and they happened to have no class, so they took Lu Wei and Best to the hunting ground on the edge of the Forbidden Forest to find Xiaojin.

"Whew-ga-" Outside the hunting ground, Xiao Jin's huge body lay on his back on the grass, allowing the two of them to go up and down.

There was a bonfire next to it, and seven or eight ferrets were skewered on the grill. Lou Wei crouched in front of the campfire, his little black eyes staring at the ferret on the grill, as if he wanted to taste it too.

Best was not interested in the ferret, and lazily lay on the turf and snoozed.

"Can't eat, it's not cooked yet" Xiao Jin, who was ravaged by the two, smelled the smell, and kept poking his eagle-like head into the campfire. After listening to Ivey's words, he was a little aggrieved, if he could speak human words, he would definitely say that he could eat it raw!

However, it didn't take long for the ferret to be roasted easily. After sprinkling all kinds of seasonings, he threw one to Lu Wei, and stuffed the rest into Xiao Jin's mouth.

When the pets finished eating, Betty magically summoned a spring for them to drink. In the end, the well-fed two and three beasts lay on the grass and leaned together to take a nap.

"What are you going to do about Joggins?" Betty closed her eyes and leaned against Kim, motionless as she asked.

"In the evening, I asked Tonks. It's no secret that annual leave is off, and it's easy to inquire. "Ivey is in the same position

"What if it's really her?"

"She's not a Death Eater, and if it's her leak, she's under the Imperius Curse. Let Tonks spy on her and arrest her. As long as there is evidence, I can get the Ministry of Magic to find a way to break the Imperius Curse and get the truth out of her mouth. ”

"The Imperius Curse can only be relied on itself, right?"

"No, I know a way"

"How?"

"There's a thief-proof waterfall beneath Gringotts, and I've heard it washes away all spells."

"I heard?"

"I haven't been there again, who knows if it's useful or not."

“....”

The chat ended quickly. Although the weather is not very good today, with dark clouds and no sunlight in sight, the temperatures in September will not feel cold. The breeze blows, and the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other doesn't make it noisy. Sleeping on the soft fur and listening to the snoring sound of the three beasts, Ivey and Betty gradually lost consciousness.

By the time they woke up again, it was nearly dinner time.

"It's more comfortable than sleeping in bed" Betty stretched and reached out to catch Best who jumped up.

"Indeed," Ivey hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time

Bringing Jin back to the enclosure, the two set off for the auditorium.

"How dare you insult my mother!"

"Then shut your fat mouth!"

As soon as he entered the foyer, two roars were heard. The voice was familiar, and Ivey and Betty had heard it no longer than how many times.

Immediately after, the sound of a fight rang out, accompanied by Hermione's screams.

Ivy was a little strange, remembering that Moody would come to teach Malfoy a lesson. Then, he was immediately relieved. After all, Real Moody doesn't pay as much attention to Harry as Barty Jr. does.

"Stop!" Still, Professor McGonagall rushed over as in the original.

"I can't believe it!" Professor McGonagall looked at Ron and Harry with a black face

"It was Malfoy who provoked first," Ron quickly argued

"Professor, I can testify," Hermione followed

"Really?" Professor McGonagall still trusted Hermione, and she turned to Malfoy, "Mr. Malfoy, is that the case?" ”

"Uh.... He insulted my mother too, "Professor McGonagall doesn't favor him like Snape, but he knows that Professor McGonagall is an impartial dean.

"Nonsense!" Professor McGonagall lashed, "Gryffindor and Slytherin deduct 20 points each." Now you go to the auditorium to eat, and whoever causes any more trouble will be punished for cleaning the showroom for a month-hmph"

The farce ended, and everyone dispersed to eat their own meals. Although both sides were unhappy, neither wanted to clean for a month.

On the dinner table

"If Professor McGonagall had come a little late, I'd have been able to tear Malfoy's foul mouth apart!" Ron gestured with his hands

"Ron" Ivy quietly walked up behind the three and patted him on the shoulder

"Who!" Ron was startled, and when he found someone coming, he shook off his arm with his shoulder, and said angrily, "It's free."

"The fight has been fought, and the anger has not subsided~" Ivey and the two sat opposite each other around them

"You asked me to choke Malfoy's neck for two minutes, and it would definitely be gone," Ron said angrily

"I have a better idea" Ivy beckoned, motioning for him to lean over, "Anyway, every time you are provoked by Malfoy, you will be upset, so next time you take the lead and beat him up." ”

"Ivey, don't encourage him" Hermione was afraid of Ron's head, and hurriedly stopped "Malfoy will go to sue"

"What does it matter? If you can beat Malfoy, even if you wash the toilet, Ron is willing."

"Bad idea," Betty's assessment was concise and to the point

I casually said, "Seeing that he didn't move, Ivey immediately changed the subject" How was the afternoon? It's very fulfilling."

"Don't mention it," Ron was even more depressed at this, "That damn old bat with the big ears—"

"Ron!" Hermione scolded coldly. She knew that Ron was talking about the Divination professor

"Humph!" Ron snorted and stopped talking.

"Looks like it's going well"

"Will you go back to the library later?" Betty asked Hermione

"Of course, there's a lot of work to do," Hermione stuffed her food in a hurry, like noon.

"Hey! You don't mean Professor Victor—" Ron just began

"It's not schoolwork," Hermione replied. Then he hurriedly ate two puddings and ran away again.

"Ivey, is there any news from this morning?" Harry didn't care about Hermione leaving, and cared about how things went.

"Not yet"

"What's not there for now?" Fred naturally sat down in Hermione's seat and asked curiously

"It has nothing to do with you," Ron glared at him, "what are you doing here?" ”

"Hey," Fred excited, "we had a Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon. Moody, he's so cool! He really understands! ”

"What do you know?"

"Fight against the dark arts," said Fred, "I've never had a class like this."

"You mean he teaches better than Professor Lupin?" Harry's face was a little ugly

"Professor Lupin is too conventional," Fred replied unceremoniously, "Moody has seen everything in the field."

Hearing Fred's admiration for this, Harry and Ron also ignited their curiosity. Ron flipped through the class schedule and said disappointedly, "We only have his class on Thursday."

Gott~ have to wait for two days

.....

At night, Ivey activates the sigil to talk to Tonks

"Senior sister, I didn't disturb your rest."

"What do you say?" Tonks looked at the clock next to the bed that showed twelve o'clock, and replied weakly.

Today, she was arranged to connect with the three schools of the Triwizard Tournament, confirmed several processes, and was busy until more than eleven o'clock. As a result, he didn't sleep long before he was woken up by this bastard.

"I'm sorry" After thanking him insincerely, Ivey got down to business, "Sister, who is on vacation at the Ministry of Magic during the preparation for the Quidditch World Cup?" ”

"Is it necessary to ask me in the middle of the night about this kind of thing?" Tonks yelled angrily

"I'm sorry" apologized again, "This matter is very important, and I have to trouble the senior sister." ”

After Tonks tasted the sweetness, he visited the hot pot restaurant more than once. She rubbed her groggy head, "It seems that only Bertha Jorkins of the Division of Magical Sports has taken a vacation"

"Do you know the reason for taking a vacation?"

"I'm not in the same division as her, but I heard from Minister Bagman that in the early days of the World Cup, she suddenly became wooden and her memory was not as good as before. You must know that Bertha was not smart in the first place, and if this happens, it is estimated that she will not even be able to complete the work. ”

"That's it?"

"It should be. Later, there was not enough manpower, so I called her back, and the effect of the vacation was good, and after coming back, not only did she have a better memory, but also her mind became smarter. ”
