Sinkenis stood up and greeted Voldemort for instructions.

He walked to the center of the hall and faced the Death Eaters, waving enthusiastically at them, and his personality changed dramatically as a Death Eater, or perhaps as Minister of Magic.

And before that, he couldn't do such a swaggering thing.

"Dear brothers, we will inevitably face each other with wands in the future." Sinkenes waved his wand lightly, "But it's all for the great cause of the master!" ”

"Let us raise our glasses tonight and praise our great master."

The Death Eaters raised their glasses in praise of the great Dark Lord.

The new year is coming, and the snow is still falling.

This year's winter seems to be even longer than usual.

Last night's house-elf seemed a little slack and didn't get enough firewood in time for the common room, and Hermione, who got up early in the morning, was so cold that she sneezed several times, and it wasn't until after seven o'clock that a house-elf smoked her mouth and babbled to add firewood to the fireplace.

By the time Harry returned, the lounge hadn't even been steaming hot.

"It's hard to imagine that the Daily Prophet has done something serious." Hermione Otter was surprised, waving the newspaper in her hand, "I can't imagine it. ”

Harry took it.

Front-page headlines.

It's a huge, eerie, vivid black magic mark.

The Return? Great Britain Crisis! That man is back alive! 》

Harry couldn't help but be startled, and the expression on his face almost collapsed.

He walked to the window and took a look at the sky—the sun did come out of the east, and there was no strange weather in the first day of January.

Everything is normal.

Only the Daily Prophet.

Harry didn't rush to look on, waved his wand, cast a spell on himself, and pulled out a bottle of potion and swallowed it.

There is no illusion, it's true.

Hermione and Ron understood Harry's approach.

Sure there was no problem, Harry looked at the contents.

What surprised him even more was that this article was not a title party, but really had real content.

The Daily Prophet said that they had invited the Minister of Magic to learn more about what was happening at Gringotts on Christmas Eve.

The Ministry of Magic acknowledges that the content of the Contrarian is correct.

That night, there was indeed a gathering of Death Eaters, and their target was not the assets in the vault, but some item in the vault, and they had resurrected a remarkable person, most likely a mysterious person, who had a great chance of making others by sacrificing dozens of lives and performing an extremely cruel ritual.

And admitted.

The Ministry of Magic didn't do much that day, but thankfully there was Mr. Potter, who fought off the resurrected man and cut off an arm.

It's just a pity

Mr. Potter was probably too young, and if he had grown up for a few more years, he would have killed the man completely.

But the future of the wizarding world is not darkness, it's bright, and we have Potter!

Sinkenes also said that the Ministry of Magic would draw on this experience and would change the entire Auror office, and would evaluate all the Aurors, and those who did not pass would be thrown back and retrained.

The more Harry looked at it, the tighter his brow furrowed.

"Harry, is there something wrong with this report?" Hermione was a little puzzled.

In her opinion, this report can be regarded as the most fair and objective article of the Prophet Daily in recent years.

Harry nodded, "Of course, there's no mention of Dumbledore. ”

Hermione was stunned.

"They wanted to put me in the foreground and be the benchmark against Voldemort." Harry put the newspaper down.

Ron tilted his head, "Isn't it?" ”

Isn't the main force fighting against Voldemort now Harry? In his memory, since his first year, it has always been Harry who has faced Voldemort, as for Dumbledore. The greatest white wizard of the century usually just came out and said a few quips after Harry had settled everything.

Snape has contributed more to these things than he does!

Anyway, Professor Snape and Harry, in their second year, had killed a basilisk with Harry.

What did Dumbledore and Harry solve?

A can of cockroaches.

"That said, though." Harry nodded, his knuckles tapping on the newspaper and making a thudding sound, "But Professor Dumbledore is still the greatest White Wizard of the century, and against the Dark Lord, who is considered the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time, can he get around him?" ”

Ron nodded, thoughtful.

Of course, you can't get around it.

Dumbledore was the benchmark for "justice".

He was the one who fought against Voldemort in the first place, and now that Voldemort has returned, and he is not dead, maybe Harry can be another benchmark, but definitely not the only one.

"Of course, it is not excluded that the Ministry of Magic is here to cheer people." Harry tossed the newspaper up, "A rising star is better than a dying twilight star." ”

"And Dumbledore's power is already very strong, if he is further strengthened, is the Ministry of Magic still the Ministry of Magic?"

"It's a common tactic for them."

"Fudge is like that, and I think Sinkenness is no exception."

Hermione looked at Harry and nodded thoughtfully, girls were more precocious than boys, and she was already thinking about her future.

Harry didn't care about these things, but she did.

Ron frowned, scratching his face, he didn't know much about these things last year, but after a whole summer of training from Percy, he could understand the twists and turns of this now.

"I really don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic." Ron sighed, "It feels too complicated. ”

Hermione glanced at him, "No, it's not complicated for you at all. ”

Ron was stunned, and he pinched his waist: "Hermione! I still have brains, I can understand"

Hermione interrupted, "No, Ron, I'm not scolding you. ”

"It's not complicated for you, you're a friend of Harry Potter."

Ron was stunned again, he turned his head to look at Harry, and finally understood what Hermione meant: "Oh, I'm a friend of the greatest wizard of the twenty-first century, and a friend who grew up together, and Harry has no interest in these things, if I go to the Ministry of Magic, I can represent Harry?" ”

"It's part of the representation." Hermione emphasized.

Harry clapped his hands, "Alright, now is not the time to think about these things, it's time for class." ”

Monday's classes were intensive.

In the morning, the history of magic and potions class was held, and before there was much rest at noon, there was a little divination class, and after the divination class, it was the first Defence Against the Dark Arts class of the week.

Sirius prepared the entire Christmas break for this lesson.

It's just that

Before he could finish the roll call, the classroom door was pushed open.

Scrimgeour led a group of Aurors into the room, and without saying a word.
