The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 553 Two Naughty Young Men
Early the next morning, except for the highly entertaining magazine "The Quibbler", other well-known newspapers and magazines published the trial of Cobain Yaxley.

Unlike the previous smearing of Dumbledore, Harry and others, this time the Ministry of Magic has solid evidence. Even if Yaxley is covered in mouths, he can't get away with it. Pleading guilty is his only way out.

The Ministry of Magic's attack on the Death Eaters gave panicked wizards a shot in the arm, allowing them to see the light in the dark and knowing that the Ministry would always protect them.

This is the ultimate purpose of the trial of Yaxley, to restore the broken image of the Ministry of Magic in people's hearts.

According to Ada's original plan, this position should have been reserved for Barty Crouch Jr.Compared with Yaxley, Barty Jr. has a higher status among the Death Eaters and is more valued by Voldemort. A trial of him can better boost morale and rebuild the reputation.

On the other hand, Yaxley can also continue to stay in the Ministry of Magic, and pass some unidentified information to Voldemort to influence the judgment of the enemy.

But there is no way, who made Ada fail to bring back Barty Crouch Jr.!The silver magic hand emptied Little Batty's strength, making him dying.Not to mention holding out until the sentence is pronounced to contribute to the Ministry of Magic, he won't even be able to return to London.

Since the rightful owner could not come, this arduous task fell on Yaxley's shoulders. The size and shape were considered suitable, and it would not be a pity to abolish this pawn.

Yaxley's undercover identity was exposed very early on. After St. Mungo's ambush and counter-ambush, Voldemort must have had a plan in mind.

An undercover agent whose identity is exposed is no longer an undercover agent. Voldemort will use him as an abandoned child, and the Ministry of Magic will use him as a tool that can be used.It's just that this tool is a little unhandy, and there is nothing to be sorry about throwing away the unhandy tool.

Who told Yaxley not to be called Bellatrix Lestrange or Barty Crouch Jr.?Who made him expose his identity in a hurry to make meritorious service!

Although Yaxley's importance among the Death Eaters is slightly insufficient, fortunately, the Ministry of Magic has suffered frequent defeats before, which makes wizards' expectations for the Ministry of Magic terribly low. Even the slightly lighter Yaxley can Fill in for Barty Crouch Jr.

Looking at the touted articles in the "Daily Prophet", Ada blushed and felt that it was a bit too much.On the way to resist Voldemort's dark rule, Ada and the Ministry of Magic have just taken the first step.

……

In the magnificent hall of the Ministry of Magic, every few seconds, with a soft pop, a wizard suddenly appeared from a fireplace on the left side of the hall.

These are all employees who came to work in the ministry early in the morning. When they meet familiar people, they will greet each other, and some will gather together to chat in a low voice.

Yaxley, Drizzt, Thicknesses, and occasionally Weasley were used in most chats.

Among the rushing office workers, there were two men who seemed out of place. They looked left and right like curious babies, and were very curious about everything in the ministry.

The looks of the two men are exactly the same, they are not tall but strong, their fiery red hair is a bit dazzling, and the smirks on their faces from time to time will not make people feel annoying.

These two are the owners of 93 Diagon Alley, Fred Weasley and George Weasley.The brothers wore a magenta robe that didn't quite match their hair, but it was better than their green dragon leather jackets.

"Don't look around, you two, hurry up and follow." It was their father Arthur Weasley who called to the two brothers.

"Okay, Dad." George pretended to be respectful.Fred, who was standing beside George, stretched out his hand and said reproachfully, "This is the Ministry of Magic, and we are also here for business. We should be called Director Weasley."

Facing the winking of the two brothers, Mr. Weasley had no choice but to let them go.

Fortunately, the twins are sensible, and instead of messing around in the ministry as the second generation of officials, they followed their father to the elevator.

Few people are willing to stay with the leader, especially when they are at work, even if the leader has a good personality, so there are only three of them in the elevator where the Weasleys and their sons are, and everyone else is in other elevators. crowded.

Through the golden grille door, Fred glanced at the crowd in the hall reluctantly, and said, "If only I could see that idiot Percy, I must give him a punch in the nose."

In the past month, the relationship between Percy and his family has eased. At least when he saw Mr. Weasley in the Ministry, he would say hello instead of walking away as before.

"Dad, what floor is the Department of International Magical Cooperation?" George asked maliciously, "Does that idiot Percy have a separate office?"

"Don't say that about your brother." Mr. Weasley reprimanded lightly, and then his tone became a little heavy, "Percy is a child with aspirations and ideals. He is just confused for a while."

Fred and George shrugged first, then glanced at the ceiling of the elevator with the whites of their eyes.

The elevator shook slightly and began to rise, and the indifferent girl rang:
"The seventh floor, the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, includes the headquarters of the British and Irish Quidditch League, the official Gobstone Club, and the Burlesque Products Patent Office."

……

"The fifth floor is the Department of International Magic Cooperation, including the International Magic Trade Standards Association, the International Magic Law Office, and the British branch of the International Federation of Wizards."

The twins are eager to try, they really want to rush out of the elevator, rush into the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and give their stupid brother a good look.

But knowing son is like father, Fred and George's characters are very clear to Mr. Weasley, he said: "If you don't want to be beaten when you grow up, just be honest."

The twins lowered their heads in unison, trying their best to control their feet as they wanted to move.

The elevator rattled up again, and soon arrived at the Department of Management and Control of Fantastic Beasts on the fourth floor, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters on the third floor, and finally stopped staggeringly at the minister's office on the first floor.

"Here we are, I'll take you two directly to the Minister." Mr. Weasley walked out of the elevator first, and the twins followed behind him.

The twins were still looking at the layout in the corridor, and they were also a little curious about the office without a nameplate.

In front of the door of the minister's office, Weasley stopped to give his naughty son a final word.

"Listen, the goods you supply are important to the Ministry, but don't talk nonsense," Mr. Weasley urged. "Tell the truth and say what you have. Do you understand?"

Seeing the twins nodding solemnly, Mr. Weasley felt relieved and turned to knock on the office door.

The door opened, and the legendary female secretary Isabel came out, and she said respectfully: "Director, the minister invites you and the two Mr. Weasleys to go in."

Isabel's appearance is not that kind of beautiful, but it makes people feel comfortable, and her frowns and smiles are even more coquettish, which is heart-warming.However, Mr. Weasley had "Molly Little Trembling" in his heart, and Fred and George had no distractions, and neither father nor son could appreciate Isabel's beauty.

"Thank you, Isabel." After speaking, Mr. Weasley walked into the office with the twins.

In the minister's office, Shinkenis, who was wearing a luxurious robe, walked out of the large desk and greeted enthusiastically. He said, "Ah, Arthur, you came just in time!"

"Pierce, allow me to introduce, these are my two sons, Fred, this is George. They are a little naughty."

In the past, every time the Weasleys introduced the twins, the two brothers would play the game of "guess who I am", but today they were very honest, and whoever was named by Mr. Weasley would stand up and not mess with each other. flower work.

"No, no, Arthur, being naughty just shows that they are energetic, and we need such energetic young people now." Thinknes said with a smile, and when he smiled, his well-groomed beard would tremble.

Thinknes turned back and picked up a document from his desk, and said, "Arthur, you need to deal with this matter yourself."

After receiving the documents, Mr. Weasley browsed and said embarrassingly: "Pierce, I would like to apply for the use of the car in the Ministry to take Harry Potter to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies."

"Of course, it's worth asking about such a trivial matter!"

Thicknesse patted Mr. Weasley's arm, and continued, "Okay, you go and deal with this matter, and I'll deal with these two naughty young men in your family."
