Chapter Ninety-Six: A Visitor to the Ministry of Magic
As the woman mentioned what had happened last night, Gabriel sensed something was wrong almost instantly.
"Where did you hear about this?"
"You shouldn't have asked that now, Gabriel."
Not thinking of herself as an outsider at all, the woman even reached for Georgina's plate and ate the sandwich she had prepared and nibbled on.
Then, she drank Georgina's sweet milk again.
"Now you should ask, who else doesn't know this...... That's what we're here for today. ”
"Tonks! Where do you do what! ”
Just as the woman was sitting on the bench with a big grin, a gloomy voice like a lion's roar suddenly came from the side.
Following the prestige, the students saw a man who looked like an old lion.
His brown hair and thick eyebrows were interspersed with gray wisps, and although he wore gold-rimmed glasses, these elegant glasses could not hide his piercing gaze.
Sharp, tough, like an aging lion.
"Got it, Mr. Scrimthour."
But no matter how angry he was, the young girl behaved like a cheeky man who didn't eat oil.
On the surface, she said such things, but she drank Georgina's milk in one gulp.
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, I'm in such a hurry that I haven't even eaten breakfast."
The woman's lively woman just touched her belly.
"But to be honest, I really didn't expect to go back to school so soon, and I didn't come long after I graduated......"
"Tonks!!"
"Alright, it's coming!"
When the old lion Scrimgeour roared again, the quirky and enthusiastic girl just rolled her eyes.
She finally got up from her Hufflepuff seat, but winked playfully at a few acquaintances.
"Either way, it's nice to be back in Hufflepuff."
After beckoning, the girl retreated.
"So, who is she?"
Seeing her return to the team and being reprimanded, Ernie, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you hear her last name, Tonks, I remember I told you about it."
"You didn't say your full name, did you?"
The loopholes in Gabriel's words were quickly corrected, Georgina added.
"Just a little bit, she's Nymphadora Tonks, a Hufflepuff graduate who is now training at the Ministry of Magic as a trainee Auror."
Looking at the reprimanded figure, Georgina couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't look at her so jumpy, in fact, she wrote to me that she was the only one who successfully passed the first three months of training and entered the next round."
"It's kind of amazing......"
Looking at the energetic back, Ernie couldn't help but speak.
But soon, his eyes wandered around.
"But speaking of which, have any of you seen Connor? Last night he said he was going to the library to pick up two books, and in the morning I saw him again, and now it's gone. ”
His words...... You may have your own business to do. ”
Remembering something, Georgina just raised her brow.
"But you don't have to worry about anything, he's the best student in the entire first year."
'Plop'
At this moment, the closed door of the auditorium suddenly opened, and a man who looked a little short and fat walked in quickly.
He wore a top hat and looked mild but panicked, surrounded by a woman dressed in pink who looked confident and arrogant.
Compared to the restless man, the old woman seemed more unsightly.
"How can pink be dressed like this by her......"
Although the woman's name is not known yet, this does not prevent Ernie from covering her mouth and whispering.
"I think you'd better shut up, that's the Minister of Magic."
Cedric said helplessly.
"The woman beside him, no matter what her level, is a celebrity in front of the Minister of Magic after all."
"Albus! Albus! ”
While the students were discussing this kind of thing behind their backs, he walked quickly forward and walked directly to the headmaster who was standing.
And after seeing him coming, Dumbledore only slowly raised his hand.
"Don't worry, Connelly, I know why you're here."
His broad gaze swept over everyone, including Rufus Scrimgeor, and Dumbledore chuckled.
"However, there is no need for this kind of riot to affect these students, let's talk about it in another place."
The Headmaster and the Ministries visitors left, while Professor McGonagall and the other teachers remained in the auditorium to maintain basic order.
"Please eat as soon as possible, children, and when the meal is over, we will have self-study in the auditorium."
Listening to Professor McGonagall, there are two little witches too many at the same time.
Isobel and Hermione.
They at the next table glanced at each other, then at the Hufflepuffs, which were the most crowded.
But alas, they didn't see that figure.
He ...... Isn't it there? ”
Hermione couldn't help but close her eyes and sighed helplessly.
…………
On the other side, Cornelius Fudge followed Dumbledore all the way from the ground floor to the door of the headmaster's office on the eighth floor.
Unable to use magic, Fudge looked out of breath, his stocky body shuddering.
Seeing this scene, Dumbledore just shook his head helplessly:
"Connelly, as someone who has come over, I have to tell you that it's not a good thing to sit in an office all the time, you're getting weaker than ever."
"There's no way around it."
In the face of Dumbledore's persuasion and ridicule, Fudge only smiled awkwardly.
"There's a lot going on in the Ministry of Magic, and I'm more ...... Busy, yes, busy. ”
He didn't say what he was busy doing, Fudge just emphasized his workload.
Then, straightening up, he addressed Scrimgeour and his cronies:
"Wait at the door."
He was right behind Dumbledore, and that attitude seemed to show his majesty as much as possible.
The old headmaster, however, didn't like the pomp, he just glanced at the stone monster that closed the entrance.
Without asking for a password, the stone monster glanced up at Dumbledore before standing up and giving up his seat.
The two slowly walked into the room that symbolized the Hogwarts administrator.
When the door closed, Albus asked unhurriedly:
"Connelly, do you want something to drink? Refreshments at Hogwarts were still great. ”
"Oh my God, when is this happening?"
After confirming that the door was closed, the indifference on Fudge's face vanished.
"My old friend, how come you still have the heart to drink tea? You know how nervous I was last night! Suddenly, someone reported to the Ministry of Magic that something had happened to Hogwarts!! ”
