Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 496: The Chaotic Ministry

On the last night, Percy rarely returned early to her humble abode.

He looks tired, but extraordinarily temperamental.

“What a mess.” Percy told you somehow, "I've been fighting fire all week. People keep sending yelling letters, and of course, if you don't open them right away, it will explode. There were burning marks all over my desk, and that best quill turned into a pile of charcoal scum. ”

“Why are they all sending yelling letters?” Ginny asked.

She was sitting on the carpet in front of the living room stove, patching her book One Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms with clear magic tape.

“It goes without saying that it is, of course, a complaint about the safety of the World Cup.” They wanted compensation, "Percy said," and Mundungus Fletcher filed a list of claims for 500 gold gallons of medical expenses, adding that his tent had been damaged and demanding that we compensate him for a tent with twelve bedrooms and attached jacuzzi. But I touched the bottom of him, and he wasn't hurt at all, and he was actually spending the night under an intersection cape supported by a stick. ”

Vampires attacked the stadium that night, while the campsite was attacked.

Many people have been affected, especially in tents near the Crouch family, a heavily affected area.

The vampires probably thought little Barty Crouch was hiding in a tent, so they raided the area.

Of course, they didn't find anything, but many wizards lost a lot.

You know, in order to stand out in the World Cup, the wizards have taken a lot of good things and put them in their tents.

Mrs. Weasley brought them a few drinks and glanced at the old man's clock on the corner of the wall.

It's a magic clock, and if you want to know the time, it doesn't work at all, but it gives you a lot of other information.

It has nine gold needles, each with the name of a Weasley family member engraved on it.

There are no numbers on the clock, but it says where every family member might be.

There are “home”, “school” and “work”, as well as "on the road”, “missing”, “hospital”, “prison”, etc.

At twelve o'clock on an ordinary clock, it is marked "life threatening”.

This watch has a poor appearance, but is highly crafted and is a very rare magic item.

It was inherited from the Weasley family, and no matter how depressing, the pureblooded wizard family has some treasures at the bottom of the box.

This magic clock is such a thing that you can use by putting a pointer on it that represents a family member.

Like the Live Point Map, it involves the "Magic of name learning” in its making and use.

This is a very cold, very deep branch of magic, and only powerful and learned wizards are likely to be involved in hunting.

For example, Voldemort did spells on his name. Anyone who mentioned it would be perceived in the area, and destroy the simple defensive magic around him. The Death Eaters would rush there first. That's why everyone was so scared, afraid to mention the name, instead of calling Voldemort by mystery.

It's another extreme use of the magic of name learning, and probably only a really powerful black wizard would do that.

All in all, this is too rare, and Ivan doesn't get much from the magic books.

Every time he sees this clock, he has an urge to open it and look at the interior construction.

At this moment, all eight needles on the clock point to the "home” position.

Mr. Weasley's, the longest of the nine needles, still points to "work”.

Mrs. Weasley sighed and sadly said, "Arthur hasn't had to work overtime since the day of the mysterious loss. Now they're exhausting him, and if he doesn't come back soon, his dinner will be ruined. ”

“Hey, Dad thinks he's gonna have to make up for what he did the day of the finals, right?” Percy said, "To be honest, he didn't ask the head of his department to speak in public, it was a bit unwise..."

“It's all Skeeter's nasty lady letter and pen, how dare you blame your father for that!” Mrs. Weasley got angry and said out loud.

“If Dad didn't say anything, Rita, the old man would have commented that the people in the Ministry of Magic were silent and had lost their identity.” Talking to Bill Ron about playing chess, "Rita Skeeter never writes good words. Remember, she once interviewed all the cursers in the Palace and called me the Long Ghost! ”

“Your hair is a little long, darling!” Mrs. Weasley gently said, "You just let me...”

“No, Mom. ”

The rain poured on the window of the living room, and Ivan sat in front of the furnace fire studying ancient magic.

Not far from him, Hermione focused on the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 4.

Charlie was knitting a fireproof hood, Harry was wiping his crossbow, and that Hermione gift to him on his thirteenth birthday, the Broomstick Care Manual, was now open and placed at his feet.

Fred and George sat in a corner over there with a feather pen, their heads tucked together on a parchment, talking quietly about something that was sneaky and unknown.

“What are you two doing?” Mrs. Weasley asked harshly, staring at the twins with her eyes.

“Do homework.” Fred replied vaguely.

“Don't be embarrassed. I'm on vacation.” Mrs. Weasley said.

“Yeah, we're a little dragged out.” George said.

“You're not thinking about Weasley's magic tricks, are you?” Mrs. Weasley pointed it out with a pinch of blood.

“Oops, Mom,” Fred looked at her with a painful look on his face, "If the Hogwarts Express train crashes tomorrow, me and George are dead, and you think the last thing we hear from you is baseless accusations, what's it like in your heart? ”

Everyone laughed and Mrs. Weasley couldn't help laughing.

“Oh, your dad's back!” She looked up at the clock again and suddenly said.

Mr. Weasley's needle suddenly jumped from "work” to "on the road”.

After a coin clock, it trembled and stood in the “home” position with other needles.

At that point, you heard Mr. Weasley screaming in the kitchen.

“Coming, Arthur!” Mrs. Weasley spoke out loud and hurried out of the room.

A moment later, Mr. Weasley trailed his dinner and walked into the warm living room.

He looked exhausted and his face was exhausted.

“Alas, things got worse," he sat on an armchair by the fireplace, clumsily messing with some wrinkly cauliflower on the plate, saying to Mrs. Weasley, "Rita Skeeter has been drilling around the camp all week, searching for more chaos in the Ministry of Magic to report. Now she finds out about poor old Bertha's disappearance, which seems to be the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow. I told Ludo he should have sent someone long ago. ”

The other day, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet sent a letter to Ivan.

The letter said Rita Skeeter wanted to interview him, but Ivan never gave her a chance to say no.

He doesn't want them to describe themselves as little monsters with bad tastes, or black wizards.

This woman has been making rumors and attracting the public's attention, and Ivan should stay away from her.

Of course, if Rita Skeeter messes with herself, Ivan won't be so polite. He knows what she's dealing with.
