Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 182 Order of Merlin

The next event began to move in the right direction.

The next morning, Ivan just woke up and saw Ron apologize to himself, Harry and Hermione.

He cried and wept, saying that he was an asshole, that he had told the details of his being controlled by Peter Pettigrew, that he should not have mistrusted everyone.

Although Ivan felt Ron seemed to be hiding a part of it, he eventually forgave him, just like Harry and Hermione.

After all, not everyone succeeds in breaking free from the spell of soul capture.

Ron's last act last night was enough to prove that he was different from Pettigrew Peter, a well-deserved hero.

Ron did not stay too long at the school hospital and, as suggested by Mrs. Pomfrey, he was taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for examination at 7 a.m. after breakfast, where he would probably spend the rest of his Christmas holidays.

Although everyone was concerned, Mrs. Pomfrey repeatedly assured him that he would recover without any after-effects.

Just now and Ron separately, Magic Minister Connelly Foggy walked into the ward accompanied by Dumbledore. Behind them came three adult wizards, one male and two female, all around the age of forty and fifty.

Evan's eyes swept through the three men and followed Foggy's lady in a black robe with a square chin, short grey hair and a pair of glasses.

Ivan doesn't remember a thing about this guy.

But seeing the witch next to her, Ivan snapped in his heart, he had a bad feeling that this could not be the legendary Umbridge?!

Umbridge was dressed in a peach red dress and looked like a big white toad. She was short and fat, had a broad, fleshy face, a big mouth pulled down, her eyes large, round, slightly raised outward.

Even the little black velvet bow on her short hair reminded Ivan of a big fly and she was about to stick out her sticky long tongue to capture it.

Behind Umlich is a serious wizard with a straight waistplate, stiff movement, a black undyed robe and shiny shoes. The eye-catching little mustache on his face looks like it was trimmed against a sliding scale. Evan had never seen a wizard think he was so strict, and if he wasn't wearing a wizard robe, but a suit, he could just pretend to be a Muggle Bank Manager.

This guy, he's definitely the one Percy worships.

In Ivan's impression, there was only one person who could have been the object of Percy's worship in that regard: Batty Crouch, who was finally killed by his Death Eater son, Batty Crouch Jr.

Ivan was looking at each other carefully, wondering if he had now hidden little Barty Crouch in the house?

If possible, he wants to report it or say it, but no one is going to believe him.

As the most senior member of the Ministry of Magic, Batty Crouch had a high reputation, and had it not been for his son's affairs, he would most likely now be the Minister of Magic.

As Ivan weighed the three men across the street, they also looked seriously at Ivan, Harry and Hermione, especially when they stayed with Harry the longest.

“Good morning, boys!” Fuji looked tired and in poor mental condition and seemed to have not slept last night, "he said in a low voice.“ It's incredible that Peter the dwarf did it all, and Blake is innocent. Look what we've all done. The Ministry of Magic is about to become a laughingstock. The Daily Prophet has a chance to laugh if anyone else knows about it... "

“We are now a laughingstock, Minister!” Buddy Crouch interrupted him and there was a little impatience in his voice, "we locked Sirius Black in Azkaban for twelve years, who knows how many more are innocent! ”

“Yeah, you're right!” Fuji seemed to understand what the other said, he hesitated for a moment and said with vigilance, "This is indeed our negligence, but I remember that you were the head of the Department of Magic Law Enforcement at that time, and all the accusations against the Death Eaters were under your auspices...”

“Thank you for your reminder, Minister!” It's a shame that I can never wash, personally or for Wesengamo, and thank goodness these kids gave us the opportunity to make up for that mistake, "said Batty Crouch. ”

“It is indeed a blessing.” Fudge didn't seem happy at all, pointing to the three witches beside him, briefly introducing Ivan, Harry and Hermione, "Kids, this is Batty Crouch, Director of International Magical Cooperation; the two women are Amelia Bowens, Director of Magical Law Enforcement; and Dolores Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister of Magic. ”

Crouch didn't look at them, he was staring at Dumbledore. Bowens smiled slightly at Evan, Harry and Hermione and looked kinder.

As for Umbridge, she had a fake smile on her face, greeted them in turn, and made a silver bell-like laugh, and Ivan heard the sweat standing up behind her neck.

Harry and Hermione looked just as bad, especially Hermione, whose petite body shrunk into the mattress as much as possible under Umbridge's eyes.

“Well, boys, with regard to Blake's case, Wesengamo has set up a special investigation team, and all five of us are members of the investigation team.” Fuji said briefly, "Although we've just heard Abbs say it, we'd like to hear more about what happened last night. ”

Ivan, Harry, Hermione looked at each other and finally Ivan said what happened last night again. Ivan deliberately concealed Ron, the time converter, and the horseman, merely saying that he had captured Peter the dwarf in the forbidden forest.

“Alarmingly, at your age, I cannot capture an evil dark wizard alone.” Umbridge looked at Ivan and said in a noisy, pointy, thin voice like a little girl.

“Just lucky, ma'am!” Ivan replied carefully.

“There's nothing to be modest about, Evan, you've always been good.” Fogey turned his hat around and continued, “Things are just like I imagined, and the question now is, if someone's asking about you, it's about how you grabbed Peter the dwarf, you know...”

“I understand, Minister!” Ivan nodded and he knew what Fogey was going to say, "Although I finally grabbed Peter the dwarf, the Ministry of Magic did a lot of work on this, just like last year's Snake Monster incident, and I would tell you if I had the chance. ”

“Thank you, Evan, for doing us a great favor.” Fuji relieved that for him, the biggest obstacle to the innocence of Little Wolf no longer exists, as long as it does not affect the reputation of the Ministry of Magic and does not affect its own ways.

“You did a great job this time, you three and the boy from the Weasley family you just mentioned, and the ministry is ready to apply for a Level 3 Merlin Jazz Medal for you four!” Fogey continued, "Especially you, Evan, if I had a fight, I think level two would be fine. ”
