Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

However, Augusta Longbottom did not come. She did not like Dumbledore. Her son and daughter-in-law joined the Order of the Phoenix because of him.

The result? The two were murdered and remained in a daze for more than ten years.

It's impossible to say that she has no resentment at all.

Dumbledore warmly entertained several people in the headmaster's office. The recovery of the Longbottoms was like timely help to him as he was already in urgent need of help.

But when he heard that the two planned to return to the Auror office immediately to continue working as Aurors, he raised objections.

"I don't recommend it."

"The Ministry of Magic is now run by Fudge. Even if you go there, you will not be able to restore your original positions."

The Longbottoms were labeled as Dumbledore's, and almost everyone knew it.

Do you think Fudge would send two powerful wizards to the Aurors at such a sensitive time?

You can tell with your toes that he won't agree. He won't refuse directly for the sake of face, but he will probably drag it out.

"You didn't announce your recovery in order to keep a low profile. But if the Ministry of Magic knew about it, it would mean that the Death Eaters would also know about it. Bellatrix and the other Death Eaters just escaped from Azkaban not long ago. If they knew that you had recovered, I think they would definitely come looking for you."

"Has the Ministry of Magic been infiltrated so thoroughly?" Neville's father, Frank Longbottom asked his teacher.

Judging from Dumbledore's tone, the Ministry of Magic is even worse now than it was a decade ago.

At least they were still considered comrades in the Order of the Phoenix, but now they have become the third force.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Moody nodded, and then with a dark face, he told what happened last year: "I was attacked by Death Eaters and locked in a box for half a year. The person who attacked me was Barty Crouch's son."

"The son of the impartial Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Barty Crouch?"

"His son is a Death Eater? What?"

Alice Longbottom said in surprise: "It's unbelievable."

It can be heard that the two men still have a good impression of Barty Crouch. After all, that was the heyday of Voldemort, and he was one of the few hardliners in the Ministry of Magic who got things done.

"Professor, even if you are elected Minister of Magic, it will be difficult for you to control the entire Ministry in a short period of time. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom have been out of touch with this society for more than ten years. They need time to slowly get familiar with everything that has happened over the years."

Dudley opened his mouth and offered his suggestion: "I suggest that the gentleman and the lady stay with you. They just need to disguise themselves so that they can carry out the subsequent operations."

Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom were willing to follow the advice of Dudley, who could be considered their savior.

(Snape was not around, the Longbottoms did not trust him, Sirius was not around, Moody thought he was too talkative and unreliable)

Moody also echoed, "Dursley is right. Dumbledore, you also need a few reliable helpers around you. You can't expect me, an old man, to help you after you take office, right?"

Dumbledore nodded, agreeing.

"Then you will live in Hogwarts from now on."

"Yes, Professor. We haven't been back for many, many years."

I originally wanted to say several years after graduation, but when I thought about how I had been stupid for more than ten years, I could only change the time silently. When I woke up, more than ten years of my youth were suddenly gone, and the familiar people and things also changed. Even my son, who was only a little bit big, has grown so big. It was only my wife who had been with me all the time. It would probably take a long time for someone else to accept it.

So there were two mysterious wizards in Hogwarts, and no one knew who they were.

Whenever the little wizards asked about their origins.

Dumbledore would always tell them with a smile: "Your future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Considering the frequency of the annual change of professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, this statement is indeed reliable.

Just when Fudge, Dumbledore and Voldemort were all sitting still, waiting for their chance, a headline in the Daily Prophet caught the attention of all wizards in Europe.

"Harry Potter, the first major movie in the history of the wizarding world, is expected to be released on March 3st"

There is a line of small words below the title, officially authorized by Mr. Porter to reveal the secret of that year to you.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the most attention, and even the popularity of the wizard card list was suppressed. Almost all wizards were discussing this matter, even the young wizards who were studying in Hogwarts were no exception.

There is a severe lack of entertainment activities in the wizarding world, and there is no such thing as TikTok. Even young wizards can only buy newspapers and magazines such as The Daily Prophet, The Quibbler, and Poisons and Antidotes to relieve boredom.

"Big Movie"

Many young wizards were muttering this unfamiliar word.

"What is a movie?"

A little wizard who was obviously born in a wizard family asked. It was the first time he heard this word.

"Quidditch-like activity?"

"Of course not." The little wizard who was born in a Muggle family next to him immediately answered him: "It is something that presents a story to us in the form of dynamic pictures. A movie is about tens of minutes long. I often watch it with my parents in the Muggle world."

"Cool! That would be fun!"

One question was answered, and many more questions followed.

"Then why is it called the Harry Potter Movie?"

"Is it a movie based on Mr. Potter's perspective?"

"You may need to ask Mr. Potter. Isn't it clearly written in the introduction? I will reveal the secret of that year to you."

"What? There are small words? You have good eyesight."

"."

Discussions like these were a constant at Hogwarts.

Of course there are also doubts.

"Mr. Potter was less than one year old when he defeated the mysterious man. How could he still remember what happened back then?"

That makes sense, but...

"Don't you know that memories can be pulled out? Isn't it enough to just pull them out and take a look?"

The doubter blinked and admired.

"Is there still such an operation?"

Chapter 389: Attackers inside the Ministry

Everyone is very enthusiastic about the movie and everyone is very curious about this thing, so this matter naturally attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic rejected, stopped and openly questioned this obviously troublesome behavior.

No matter how they plan to present what happened back then, it must have nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic. This would damage the image of the Ministry of Magic, so they don't want this movie to be released.

They used the 'misuse of Muggle objects' law to try to restrict the film.

This matter even led to a public trial at the Wizengamot.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations

The Ministry of Magic lost the case, and lost completely, without even the slightest hope of a comeback.

In the call of wizards, the official movie gave a reasonable explanation

All the filming equipment used in the movie were made by wizards and have nothing to do with Muggles, so the regulations on the misuse of Muggle items are invalid for them. How can they be misused if they are not Muggle products?

All I can say is that the Ministry of Magic’s defeat was not unfair.

With the Ministry of Magic as a stepping stone, the topic reached its peak and everyone became more curious about the content of the "Harry Potter" movie.

As a result, the level of attention has risen to a new level again.

However, it is only January now, and there is still more than a month before the movie is officially released, and many wizards are looking forward to the release day.

Ministry of Magic

Department of Magical Law Enforcement

As the director, Amelia Bones is serious and responsible. She insists that every wizard has the right to a fair trial, so she will carefully read the records of each case and find out the unreasonable parts. This attitude makes her the last person to leave work in the Ministry of Magic almost every day.

When she came out of the office, the entire Ministry of Magic was almost empty, with only a few scattered lights allowing people to vaguely see the road ahead.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of shoes tapping on the ground echoing in the long corridor, which inevitably made people feel a little scared.

But Amelia was used to it.

"Ms. Bones, why is it so late today?"

A male voice suddenly sounded behind her, making Amelia's heart tighten, and she unconsciously grasped the wand in her sleeve.

He was a man dressed as a cleaner, holding a mop in his hand, and was about fifty years old.

"Mr. Luke."

After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Amelia felt relieved and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew this man, Dioton Luke, who had been working at the Ministry of Magic for decades. He had no home of his own and lived and ate at the Ministry. He was the Ministry's janitor.

"I was a little late in reading the files. I'm sorry to bother you to close the store late today."

Amelia greeted the other person politely. She was gentle and kept the same attitude towards everyone, so she was very popular in the Ministry of Magic. If Dumbledore had not suddenly announced that he would compete for the position of Minister of Magic, she would have been the next Minister of Magic.

"You're welcome." Luke smiled and bowed, "These are what I should do."

"But you still have to take care of your body. If you stay up so late every day and don't get enough rest, you will easily get sick."

After hearing Luke's kind reminder, Amelia said, "Every case represents the future of every wizard. I don't want them to be wrongly imprisoned because of the Ministry of Magic's mistakes."

"You are very kind."

"This is my responsibility."

"."

After a brief chat, Amelia decided to leave, said goodbye to Old Luke, and set out on the road home again.

Before she could take a few steps, she heard a dull thump behind her.

I saw old Luke, who had just greeted me, lying straight on the ground.

"Luke!" Amelia called out to him tentatively.

Finding that the other party had no response, he hurried back.

Luke's breathing was steady, he must have fainted.

"What happened?"

Just at this moment, a man walked out from the next room.

"Ms. Bones?!"

Looking up, Amelia recognized the other person's identity. "Are you August Rookwood from the Department of Mysteries? I need help. I don't know what's wrong with Luke."

"I'll be right there." The man said and walked quickly in the direction of Amelia.

Luke made a sound of slight pain at this moment, attracting Amelia's attention.

Just as Amelia lowered her head, the man took out his wand from his arms.

The dark green light was emitted silently, a very skillful silent spell. However, the spell that the man thought was perfect was offset by an orange light with incredible precision.

The tip of Amelia's wand was revealed from her large wizard robe.

"As expected of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, your response is extremely quick."

The man Amelia called August Rookwood praised, not at all upset about his failed sneak attack.

Amelia pointed her wand at the other man, "Why are you attacking me?"

"Because someone wants to see you."

Another voice sounded, and a man with dark hair and a long, pale, distorted face walked out.

"Antonin Dolokhov!" Amelia shouted as she saw the other person.

She was very familiar with this face. She had tried more than ten cases involving him, almost all of which were related to murder.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a heinous crime.

Not only Antonin Dolokhov, but also several men wearing black hoods and whose faces could not be seen walked out behind him.

But it didn't matter anymore. The moment Amelia saw Antonin, she knew who these people were.

"You. Death Eaters?!"

Seeing that their identities were revealed by the other party, several Death Eaters were not in a hurry. In their opinion, the other party was only one person, while they had many, so it would be easy to catch her.
