Regarding the girl's trust, Harry didn't know what else he could say. He could only solemnly promise that he would definitely let her father's magazine reopen one day.

And with this incident as a forerunner, the Ministry of Magic, or Lucius, a series of generous actions during this period, gradually became known to Harry and others.

The first is the press. The "Daily Prophet" issued N statements in a row, saying that the series of news released before were all fake news, and "sincerely" apologized for misleading public opinion.

As a punishment, the newspaper dismissed the notorious reporter Rita Skeeter, who had been spreading rumors, and publicly stated that no matter how the other party performed in the future, she would never be hired!

At the same time, all of Rita's written works in circulation were also jointly investigated by the Ministry of Magic and the newspaper, and she was prohibited from publishing any works of any kind in the future.

Coincidentally, "Wizard Weekly", which has been in troubled water for blog sales, also fired two editors because of this incident, and also made an apology statement for "publishing false news".

Finally, the two newspapers jointly published a preview of Lucius Malfoy's public trial.

A week before the Christmas break, the Wizengamot will be in court for Lucius Malfoy's case!

Of course, if the situation only affected one news circle, it wouldn't be considered an undercurrent at all.

The other news that Harry got at the same time is really dumbfounding~

In the past two days, all the Weasleys at Hogwarts fell into an extremely depressed mood, and Ginny even wept silently in class several times.

Harry didn't know what happened at first, but when the Weasley twins came to ask him to borrow money from their usual cheerfulness and frowns, Harry knew.

Arthur Weasley was dismissed and investigated, and there is no possibility of reinstatement in the short term.

As we all know, all the expenses of the Weasley family are mainly supported by Arthur, and now that he has an accident, this family that is not rich at all will directly make the situation worse.

But fortunately, the twins were smart enough to find Harry, the hidden benefactor, in the first place.

Harry gave them an indefinite, interest-free 1000 gold galleon IOU, and said that the money could be deducted from their monthly salary after they worked for themselves, and it was considered an advance to them. salary.

Harry's generosity directly made the Weasley brothers burst into tears of gratitude. He managed to persuade the two fifth graders not to cry face to face.

And to be honest, Harry really didn't want the Weasleys to thank him, because they were purely implicated.

According to the information obtained by Harry through many inquiries, Arthur is not the only one who has had accidents in the Ministry of Magic these days.

The first is Dolores Umbridge, who has been officially appointed by Fudge as the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, responsible for assisting the Minister in dealing with various government affairs.

After this, the head of the Department of Legal Enforcement, Amelia Burns, retired for unknown reasons and was replaced by Pierce Thicknesse.

Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Barty Crouch retired, and his successor was Rufus Fudge...By the way, this is Cornelius Fudge's nephew, and he is currently the youngest in the entire Ministry of Magic Secretary.

I won't repeat the rest of the job changes one by one. According to gossip, even the Aurors have been fired several times.

The Wizengamot also had a lot of personnel changes, including more than fifteen Wizengamot veterans, including Tiberus Ogden and Gusselda Marchban, who were selected for various reasons such as old age or illness. retired.

However, quite a few of the new veterans who came in were all from major pure-blood families without exception.

Crabbe, Goyle, Flint... He even heard Narcissa Malfoy's name in the 'unofficial list' that Tonks secretly told Harry!

Obviously, with the assistance of the pure-blood family headed by Malfoy, Fudge has completely cleaned up the power system of the Ministry of Magic, and has become the agent of the 'Pure-Blood United Front' who truly holds the right to speak.

The Ministry of Magic has also mastered the "Daily Prophet" and other important mouthpieces of the magic world, and began to force them to sing praises for themselves every day.

It is true that with such a big move, the credibility of the Ministry of Magic and Fudge's personal image will definitely fall to the bottom in the hearts of the majority of wizards... But now the magic world is in disarray, facing the overwhelming brainwashing propaganda of the media, what can be done about it? what?

And in such turmoil, Harry also received a letter from the Wizengamot, asking him to accompany the chief magician Dumbledore to attend the trial of Lucius as a youth representative.

Lucius was deliberately disgusting himself and Dumbledore, and Harry knew it well.

However, just go, anyway, this time Lao Deng felt sick in his heart.

As for Harry himself, just treat it as a visit to a dying person, and make a few jumps at the end~

(Ps Let’s put it this way, the protagonist doesn’t really care about Lao Deng’s decision-making that has always been soft and passive. Anyway, the unlucky people in the end are all members of the Order of the Phoenix in the Ministry of Magic, and this is actually a good thing for the protagonist~)

Chapter 330 Five, Harry's Teacher Will Arrive at Christmas

The week before the Christmas holidays, although it has not yet snowed, the weather is very gloomy.

The trial of Lucius Malfoy by the Wizengamot finally came to an end. Including the clerk, there were less than [-] members present in the entire trial court, which was rare, the Wizengamot The fact that not all of the fifty elders of Morocco attended the trial...

What's more, many of them are 'new' veterans.

And the result of the final vote was beyond doubt. Lucius Malfoy won nearly [-] votes to withdraw the lawsuit, and he was immediately announced to be released in court!

Listening to this guy talking in the dock, how he fished out Pettigrew by tricks, and at the same time tricked the mysterious man's wand into his hand, Harry just watched with a blank expression on his face. There are no waves.

After all, there is really nothing to compete with a dead person~

Dumbledore was very excited in court, trying to guide the Wizengamot to a guilty verdict against Lucius, but it was a pity that he had little success in the end.

To be honest, Harry understood Lao Deng's state quite well.

Because this is the same as he did after the Philosopher's Stone incident the year before, it was a normal stress response after his own psychological expectations were completely broken.

Seeing that Lucius Malfoy, who is a criminal, is about to get away with it, and almost all the nails he planted in the Ministry of Magic have been pulled out... These two incidents dealt an unprecedented blow to Dumbledore.

But no matter how excited he was, it was useless. Now both the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic were firmly in the hands of Fudge. Dumbledore would not pull the former member of the Order of the Phoenix, who had become a vagrant, on hold. Let's go together and revolt~

"Harry...Harry!"

In the hall on the eighth floor of the Ministry of Magic, when Harry was walking towards the outside without stopping, Dumbledore rushed to him from behind and anxiously clasped his shoulders.

"I just met Lucius Malfoy and only spoke a few words to him. Why did you leave first?" Dumbledore asked with a slight frown.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Principal..." Harry replied blankly, "I just didn't expect that you could still have a conversation with him."

Harry didn't even bother to listen to Lucius' bravado after the trial, but he didn't expect Old Deng's interest to be really high.

"Don't be so discouraged, Harry...you have to believe that they can't be so lucky all the time, and we will definitely have a chance in the future." Dumbledore patted Harry on the shoulder, as if he was worried that Harry would be depressed because of this, "Mal Fu and Fudge, although they are now in control of the Ministry of Magic, their crimes are absolutely indisputable. There is the entire magic world behind us, everyone has sharp eyes, and they can definitely find their flaws!"

Dumbledore's words were indeed high-sounding and full of chicken blood, but Harry couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

Come on... which eye do you have to see my depression?

I'm so fucking happy right now, I'm thinking about how to click Lucius that bastard~

"Mr. Principal, I think it's better for you to adjust your mood instead of comforting me." Sighing slightly, Harry said softly, "In my opinion, your only reasonable performance in court today, It's just that I didn't insist on telling about my father and Dobby."

In other words, this is what Harry is really worried about.

For this matter, he even quarreled fiercely with Lao Deng before the trial.

Undoubtedly, Old Deng definitely hoped that the Wizengamot would bring charges against Lucius, so he felt that he should take the initiative to raise in court that Lucius had cast a curse on Harry's adoptive father.

But this plan was rejected by Harry in the most serious manner before the trial.

Accusing Lucius Malfoy of maliciously cursing a 'Muggle'?

What are you kidding? !

Not to mention whether the testimony provided by Dobby will be rejected like Harry's fingerprint evidence, even if Dobby is indeed allowed to appear in court, can Lucius be completely sued for such a trivial matter? fall?

And once Lao Deng really said this matter in court, the Grangers, including Dobby, probably would really be close to death.

Now the two parties who are fighting openly and secretly have gradually overturned the original rules of the game, and the constraints of "the family is not as good as the family" in the past have completely disappeared!

Fortunately, after all, Lao Deng did not insist on going his own way, and reminded Lucius directly in court.

However, Harry has really been thinking seriously about the safety of his adoptive parents recently.

Even if he solves Lucius Malfoy, there will definitely be threats from others in the follow-up, and there is also Voldemort that cannot be ignored...

Perhaps, you can consider asking your parents to take time to travel?

"Indeed... I was not thinking carefully. Harry, I'm ashamed of what happened to your adoptive father."

After a long silence, Dumbledore sincerely apologized to Harry.

It's just... what Harry expected, it wasn't an apology at all.

He always wanted to see a Dumbledore who clenched his fist and punched him hard, but the other party chose to continue to bear it after all.

Therefore, Harry could only keep silent all the time, because the two had completely different ideas, even if they forced an awkward chat, it would only be nonsensical.

However, just as they were about to leave the Ministry of Magic, a strange owl made of paper suddenly flew up to Harry and circled happily above his head.

"What is this?" Harry looked puzzled at the paper bird above his head.

"This is an origami owl, an alchemy gadget that can deliver letters like an owl... Of course, it is actually a letter itself." Dumbledore is quite accomplished in alchemy, so it was easy for Harry to answer the question , "The person who can accurately find you in the ground, who made this paper owl must be quite powerful in alchemy..."

"Teacher?" Seriously reading the words written on the paper owl, Harry suddenly showed surprise, "The teacher said that we can arrive at Hogwarts on Christmas, which is really great!"

"Uh...Harry, who is the teacher you're talking about?" Harry's sudden surprise made Dumbledore very puzzled.

Outside of Hogwarts, the only one who could be called a teacher by Harry was Newt Scamander, but the other party probably didn't know how to make this kind of origami owl.

"It's Nicole Flamel," Harry happily explained to Dumbledore, "Mr. Flamel, I met when I was traveling in France during the summer vacation. He taught me to learn alchemy. This letter he gave me In the letter, it was said that the couple had already taken care of everything, and they would come to Hogwarts on Christmas, and then continue my unfinished lessons!"

"Harry, are you... sure what you said is true, aren't you joking?"

Listening to Harry's extremely excited narration of the cause and effect, Dumbledore is now so shocked that his intestines are about to be knotted~

Merlin's beard, what kind of luck is this kid?

Just went to France for a vacation, and then worshiped Nicole Flamel as a tutor, and the other party was even willing to chase him to Hogwarts in order to teach alchemy?

Come on, that's Nicole Flamel!

If it was in the field of alchemy, even Dumbledore himself would not be an exaggeration to call him a 'teacher'!

(The ps background is coming, and I still live in the school~)

Chapter 330 Depressed mood is unable to summon the patron saint

In other words, what is the most depressing thing in life?

It's just that Harry himself is not depressed at all, but everyone around him thinks he is depressed...

Lucius Malfoy was acquitted, and those around Harry who knew the inside story were all worried about him.

Even the simplest thing, that he didn't go back to school on the same day as Dumbledore, caused a lot of speculation from Hermione and others... Tonks was even worried that Harry was depressed, so he went to the Leaky Cauldron to get drunk secretly.

Come on, he's only 13 years old. Isn't that a proper crime if Old Tom dares to sell him alcohol?

The truth is that Harry didn't go with Dumbledore simply because he didn't like Floo's choking way of traveling.

As for his trip to the Leaky Cauldron, it was purely because he was going to Diagon Alley to withdraw money and do some shopping.

Promising the twins a loan of 1000 Galleons and a start-up fund of 3000 Galleons for the shop, Harry had to prepare them for them in advance, otherwise the Weasley family would really be in trouble next month.

In other words, can you expect a family that spends all their 700 Galleon bonus on travel to have something like an 'emergency deposit'?

Moreover, the Flamels were about to come to Hogwarts. Whether it was to settle them down or for the alchemy class in the future, Harry had to buy some things in advance.

You can't have people coming all the way to back you up, but Harry, a student, didn't show it at all~

He needed to prepare too many things, and he didn't want to hurry that night, so it was normal to go back to his home for the night?

However, although the reasons are good, Harry cannot blame Hermione and others for overreacting. After all, Draco Malfoy has been showing off his power in school, and it is true that he did not come back with Dumbledore. Hermione and others will It's normal to think too much.

So when Harry returned to school the next day, what he saw was the scene of the three girls, including Tonks, gritting their teeth and practicing hard in Lupin's private training class.

And after Lupine saw Harry, he actually patted Harry on the shoulder, persuading him earnestly... think about it~

"Harry, Lucius Malfoy, we've known him since we were in school. He's a very cunning guy, and he's really not that easy to deal with, so you don't have to be too depressed."

"Uncle Lupine, I beg you, okay, I'm really not depressed at all~" Harry covered his face dumbfoundingly, "Mr. Principal thinks too much, all of you think too much .I'm in a really good mood now, it's so good~"

"Uh...really?" Lupine looked at Harry's expression hesitantly, and after careful identification, he found that he really seemed to be thinking too much.

Harry now looks energetic all over his body, it has nothing to do with depression or anything~

But in this way, another problem arises.

Looking up at the three girls who were sweating profusely, Lupine pushed Harry on the back with a look of long-term responsibility: "Whatever you provoke, you should take care of it yourself."

"Hey, why leave all three of them to me? I can handle two at most, and you can do the rest by yourself~" Harry gave Lupine a funny look, but got up obediently and stopped the three girls.

"Okay, it's already late today, let's come here."

"I don't want it!" However, Hermione clearly expressed her opposition, "It's still early at all, and I can practice for a long time~"

And Tonks next to her even waved his wand directly to release a cloud of light mist, completely turning a deaf ear to it.
