The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 378 Self-disciplined Contributors and Dress Robes

Under Ida's tactful and kind persuasion, Hermione finally stopped making noises to promote the rights of the house-elves. Miss Beaver seemed to be hit, and sat aside sullenly, with her head drooping.

Under the explanation of the Weasley family, Harry finally knew what the Dark Mark was. This mark represented not only Voldemort, but also their bloody killings.

The Death Eaters will use their hand to summon their companions and call their master Voldemort, and they will also leave the Dark Mark after they kill themselves to show their strength and bring panic to others.

The corners of the horns were peeled off manually, and Ada really felt that the Dark Mark was not scary at all, it was simply ugly.I really don't know who designed this thing, it has no aesthetic feeling at all, if Ida wears the logo of the Dark Mark, it's better to just kill her.

It's really superficial to show one's own strength and spread terror in such a straightforward way. Voldemort and Death Eaters don't have any artistic cells in them. Horror can also be very elegant!

At three o'clock in the morning, everyone climbed back to their beds again. This time, no one disturbed their sleep, but no one could sleep peacefully.

After only a few hours of sleep, Mr. Weasley woke everyone up.He drew up the tent by magic and packed it in his knapsack, and they left the camp as fast as they could, seeing Mr. Roberts standing at the door of his little stone hut.

Mr. Roberts looked strange, and his expression was in a trance. It was the aftereffect of the Amnesia spell and memory modification. Last night they experienced the most horrible scene in their lives.

Raising the butcher's knife against innocent and weak people, I really don't know how the Death Eaters have the face to call themselves powerful.

Before the sun rose, Mr. Weasley received an old tire, and the group returned to Ferret Mountain through this old tire.In the twilight of dawn, they walked through the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, down the wet path towards the Burrow.

They turned a corner and the Burrow loomed, and there was a shout from the path.

"Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness!" It was Mrs. Weasley's voice, who had been waiting in the yard for everyone to come back.

Mrs. Weasley ran towards everyone with a limp. On her left foot was a room slipper that she hadn't changed in time, but the shoe on her right foot went somewhere.

Mrs. Weasley's face was pale and her expression was tense. She hugged everyone vigorously, and she held a piece of today's "Daily Prophet" in her hand, which reported everything that happened last night.

This report criticized the Ministry of Magic for nothing, saying that the Ministry of Magic panicked, the law and order were lax, let the black wizard go unpunished, and brought great shame to the country. Fudge should take the blame and resign, and Barty Crouch should be imprisoned in Ards. Caban and more.

The report comes from Rita Skeeter, a supposedly disciplined writer who is a contributing columnist for the Daily Prophet.

"That woman is against the Ministry of Magic!" Percy said angrily. Although Barty Crouch called him Wetherby, Percy was still loyal to his boss.

"Come on, Percy," Bill said, yawning, "Stop talking." A stop from the Weasleys.

"I think what this woman said makes sense." Charlie said, "The World Cup, an event that the whole world pays attention to, has been turned into what it is by the Ministry of Magic, allowing the dark wizard to take advantage of the loopholes. Now the whole world is watching us. Joke." Intervention from the second Weasley son.

Despite Ada's tantrum and teaching the Ministry some lessons, no one died last night, but the newspapers reported rumors of "several bodies being lifted out of the woods".

You really deserve to be a self-disciplined writer, you really deserve to be a mold reporter, just watching the excitement is not a big deal.A good career was ruined by this group of people.

"Wait," Mr. Weasley said strangely, "the only staff from the Ministry of Magic who appeared near the Dark Mark last night, how did Rita Skeeter know so many details!"

Everyone looked at the newspaper, and Mr. Weasley also pointed out the contents of the newspaper to everyone.

The newspapers had a full account of what had happened at the end of last night, the Ministry's confrontation with Sirius and Ida, and how they were beaten by a student, and the house-elf Winky.

At the end of the report, Rita Skeeter wrote: The incompetent Ministry of Magic, they failed to catch the dark wizard who cast the Dark Mark, they are not even the opponents of Hogwarts students, they can only blame everything Set it on the head of the house-elf and keep the dark wizard at large.How can we trust such a Ministry of Magic?

Mr. Weasley sighed deeply, and said, "Molly, I have to go to the office. I'm busy today." For the Ministry of Magic, catching the person who cast the Dark Mark is a top priority, and clarifying the rumors , Restoring the image is also very important.

Mr. Weasley just left, without even a bite of breakfast, and hurried back to the Ministry of Magic, although this matter was not within Arthur Weasley's purview.

Workaholic Percy also left with Mr. Weasley. For Percy, there was no option to go to work and fish.After the father and son left the Burrow, Sirius and Lupine also said goodbye, they had things to do.

Harry was left at the Burrow without knowing what Sirius and Lupine were going to do.Ada has some guesses, and Ada estimates that the two should have gone to see Dumbledore.

These two are people who have lived through the previous war, and they are more likely to smell the smell of war than others.

After the World Cup, there was still a week before Hogwarts started, and Ida, Harry, and Hermione stayed at the Burrow for the rest of the summer vacation.

During the week, Mr. Weasley and Percy were rarely at home.Every day, the father and son go out before dawn, and don't come back to rest until late at night.Sirius and Lupine hadn't been seen at the Burrow either, so I don't know what they were doing.

If the newspapers were not still complaining about the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic, everyone thought that what happened that night was just a collective hysteria.

The week passed quickly for Ada and the others, as they were either playing or on their way to play every day, but it was a long week for Mr. Weasley and Percy, who were more than the donkeys of the production team. all tired.

Soon there will be only the last day of summer vacation, and the next day they will return to Hogwarts to start a new school year.

Percy was in the living room talking about how hard he had worked, how many Howler letters he had received, how much trouble the safety of the World Cup had caused him.Mr. Weasley on the side was eating, and occasionally said a few things about work.

Suddenly, Ron's scream was heard from upstairs, and there was a sentence of "what the hell is this".

Everyone except Mr. Weasley and Percy was attracted by the cry, and everyone rushed upstairs to see what happened to Ron.

A group of people crowded at the door of Ron's bedroom and saw Ron talking to Mrs. Weasley.Ron said, "Mum, you gave me Ginny's new dress."

Ron was holding a maroon velvet dress with a musty ruffle at the neckline and matching lace at the cuffs.It looks like a dress gown, but it's not clear whether it's a man's or a woman's.

Hearing Ron's words, Ginny looked at the robe with disgust, and shrank behind Ada, she didn't want to wear such a dress!
"How could I be mistaken," said Mrs. Weasley, "this is for you. Dress robes."

"What?" said Ron, looking terrified.Behind Ron, Harry and Hermione tried hard to control their expressions and not let themselves laugh, which made the expressions of the two of them a little distorted.

"Dress robes!" Mrs. Weasley said again. "The list from your school says that you should prepare dress robes this year... just formal robes."

Ginny, who was hiding behind Ada, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up generously. She said, "You must look good in this dress!"

The venomous tongue from his own sister broke Ron's defense instantly. He blushed and said stubbornly, "I'd rather be naked than wear it."

"Don't be a fool," said Mrs. Weasley, "you must have a dress robe, it's on your list! I got one for Harry too... Show him, Harry..."

Harry, who was trying to hold back his laughter, suddenly became very panicked. He hurriedly opened his package and found his dress robe.Harry's robes were dark green and normal, without lace.

I am afraid of comparison in everything. The contrast between Harry's normal dress robe without lace and Ron's maroon lace robe is too great.

Bill, Charlie, Ida, and the twins were all laughing at the door, and Ron's robe looked more like a granny's than a 14-year-old's.

"Because... well, I'll have to buy you second-hand, so there won't be much choice!" said Mrs. Weasley, blushing.

"I would never wear this kind of clothes," Ron said stubbornly, "never!" Only this time his tone was not as firm as before.

"Okay, Mom, it's okay," Fred said. "George and I can buy Ron a robe, at least a normal-looking dress robe."

Bill on the side said: "Let me and Charlie come, we don't seem to have bought anything for our little brother yet!"

Charlie nodded and agreed: "I won't take Percy, he just started working."
