Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 353 New Minister

Harry was back at the Burrow.

He thinks it's a nice place to live with his best friend, and Fred and George always come up with something new for them to try.

"We've saved enough money."

Fred confided in Harry once, while Ron was still lamenting about Screaming Rats, if only his bits could be as funny.

"Professor Haimer is very generous. Even after letting us leave the team, he gave us enough bonuses. I guess the professor doesn't want us to quit school early, so as not to become greedy because of the momentary honor. Although it will be a little troublesome in terms of opening a store. , but it’s not bad anyway, as long as we can also find a goblin like Wicky to be the shopkeeper, of course it doesn’t have to be a goblin—by ​​the way, have you received your bonus yet?”

bonus?

Harry's eyes were a little confused. He never knew that there would be a bonus for winning the World Cup.

Had James not told him?Or did the professor forget to give it?

Fred knew what was going on when he saw the expression on Harry's face.

"Originally, George and I wanted to take you to make money together." He said with regret: "After all, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to win the championship. Also, is there a way for you to contact Gjeon? If possible If that’s the case, we also want him to join in, so as not to spend all the hard-earned money bought by Gazeon to buy wine and drink, so that he will return to his old ways in a few days.”

Now that the Chudley Cannons have officially disbanded, the specific statement may seem absurd to outsiders, but the students have every reason to believe it—because Professor Highmore does not want to continue to delay the students' classes because of the game.

So in the eyes of Fred and George who didn't know it, Captain Gjeon was unemployed again without a doubt.

"I'll try to write to him and ask."

Harry could only say that he was still wondering where his bonus had gone.

Fred and George have left, and they still have a lot of things to do to prepare for the opening of the store. The most important thing is how to get Mrs. Weasley's consent—even if Mrs. Weasley relaxes their supervision because of the honor of the world champion, But I still hope they can go on the right track and stop thinking about jokes like pranks all day long.

Especially after Percy got his wish and became the Assistant Minister of Magic, Mrs. Weasley's trend intensified.

To put it bluntly, she also hopes that her children can work in the Ministry of Magic, such as the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, which is very suitable for Fred and George.

After the two left, the reluctant Ron withdrew his gaze and said, "I don't think they will inform mom about opening a store. They will probably do it secretly, but I don't know who they will ask to come forward."

"Did you hear that?" Harry asked in surprise, he thought Ron didn't know anything.

"I'm not deaf." Ron said angrily; "Aren't they just afraid that I will rely on them again, and keep asking them for pocket money-really, why are they so generous to Ginny and me? So stingy."

Harry suddenly became a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Hey." Ron smirked twice: "What's the matter? You want to sneak away again? Let me tell you first, I won't help this time. My mother cleaned me up badly enough the last two times."

Harry didn't want that either.

He underestimated Ginny's thoughts.

On the day she returned to the Burrow, Ginny, who heard the news of Harry's relationship, locked herself in the room and did not come out for a whole day.

Shamed and embarrassed, Harry had told the Weasleys for the first time that he intended to leave - but Mrs. Weasley strongly disagreed.

"It's time for her to calm down." She was also so angry at Ginny that all the delicacies she had finally made were completely wasted, and the dishes were clanging and rattling.

So Harry had no choice but to stay at the Burrow, but within a few days, Ginny clamored to go to Luna's house, and she also said that she had written to Luna and agreed to go to relax.

This time even Mr. Weasley objected.

"Can't I see my children after I come back from work every day?"

All in all, Harry felt he had to find a way to escape.

He first wrote a letter to James who didn't know where, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought that the Leaky Cauldron might be a good place to live.

But just when Ron finally agreed to cover up for him and planned to leave quietly in the middle of the night, he was discovered by Mr. Weasley who came to talk to him.

"Harry, are you in the bedroom? I've thought about the past few days, and I think we've all ignored your feelings, as a guest, do you have anything to say, maybe we There's going to be a way to fix this—wait a minute, what are you doing straddling the window? Come back quickly, Harry—Molly, Harry's killing himself!"

As a result, this farce completely annoyed the Weasleys. In their eyes, Harry also became a disobedient child, and Mrs. Weasley called Harry's name first at dinner every day. En was also severely taught a lesson.

"What if Harry falls? He'll break his leg!"
-
Although he was very unhappy after being reprimanded, Ron couldn't help laughing happily when he saw Harry's miserable appearance.

"It's not even started yet. How many girls will bully Cho Chang when we get back to school, she stole their dream girl away - by the way, Cho Chang knows about Ginny ?"

"I didn't say." Harry replied in a muffled voice: "But I think she should have guessed it. I really don't know how she knew about it. I didn't tell her anything, but she guessed It's very clear. Now we're quarreling, and we've started to fight since we first fell in love, and even refuse to write me a reply letter."

Ron smacked his mouth loudly twice: "I can't help you here. Who made Hermione tell you clearly to keep you away from me? Go get yourself a headache."

"You can't do this!" Harry yelled angrily.

There was a loud shout from downstairs.

"Harry! Big football player Harry Potter! Come down for dinner! Don't ask me to send you to the window?"

Harry blushed instantly, and Ron smiled even brighter than before.

They walked downstairs together, and the Weasley twins also walked out of the bedroom in disgrace, wondering what experiment they had done again.

Mrs. Weasley glanced at them, hesitated to speak.

Fortunately, Mr. Weasley, who had come back from work at this time, interrupted in time: "The Ministry is going to be very busy recently."

"Then why did you come back so early?" Mrs. Weasley took her anger out on her husband.

"This is a good thing." Arthur shrugged and said, "There are no Muggles causing trouble, and I'm not referring to Muggles, but Dumbledore. His decision-making is really decisive."

"Percy has been showing it off all day." Fred imitated Percy's serious tone and said, "Can you keep your voice down! I'm working, and it's all top secret! Secret, secret, where are there so many secrets?" , but he worked overtime again today?"

"Ahem." Mr. Weasley looked a little embarrassed.

As a father, he returned home early, but his son was still working overtime in the ministry, which seemed unreasonable.

"There are indeed a lot of things that need him to be busy." Mr. Weasley moved away so that Molly could put the big plate of stewed noodles on the dining table smoothly. He always felt that the loud bang was intentionally made for himself Listen.

"There have also been a lot of personnel changes in the Ministry." Mr. Weasley continued as if he hadn't heard: "Old Batty was sent to a new department of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement called the Department of Prisons, but he was not subject to the Department of Prisons." Frank Longbottom is in charge of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and his wife has become his assistant. That is to say, these two people who look like Dumbledore are both Transferred."

"Then what is our Minister Dumbledore going to do?" George asked rightly.

"There are some rumors." Arthur said with a sigh: "Someone heard him quarreling with Scrimgeour—"

"Scrimgeour hasn't been driven away yet?" Harry couldn't help but wondered, and after everyone looked at him, he said a little embarrassedly: "I thought they had conflicts, disagreements or something, and they would leave sooner or later." .”

"This shows that we all misunderstood Dumbledore." Mr. Weasley shook his head, and he explained patiently: "You are not the only one who thinks this way, many people think so, and Dumbledore will soon after taking office Completely get rid of the group of people who have a good relationship with Fudge-this is already a tradition. But he didn't do it, probably because of Scrimgeour's ability, who else is suitable for this kind of time? As for the director of the Auror office, at first some people thought that Frank would take the position, but no one expected—"

"Okay, where did I say that?"

Under the constant urging of the children, Mr. Weasley continued: "Oh, yes, it's a quarrel. These two seem to be arguing about the Auror manpower. Not enough, it's the same all the time, and there haven't been any qualified Aurors in years, don't know why they're fighting over something like this."

At this time, George sharply pointed out: "Dad, the rumors you heard were all told by Percy, right?"

Mr. Weasley opened his mouth, and everyone saw that his ears were red.

Thankfully, thankfully, Mr. Weasley was, for the first time, so glad that he hadn't let Ginny stay at Luna's house—she was coming down the stairs just at that moment.

"Look who's coming!" George immediately shifted his target.

"Oh! Oh!" Fred's eyes turned back and forth very obviously, almost beating drums and gongs to welcome Ginny's arrival.

Ginny stood on the stairs in a daze, her eyes turned red and her mouth puckered.

"Mum!" she cried, running to Mrs. Weasley's arms.

"Ouch!"

"pain!"

After two slashes, one of the twins rubbed the back of their heads and the other screamed.

With his head down, Harry whispered to Ron, "Now you understand why they were so generous to Ginny."

"Isn't it just to annoy people on purpose." Ron said very proactively: "If it were me, you can cry as many times as you like."

Hopeless.

Harry said silently in his heart.

Except for the twins, everyone turned a blind eye to Ginny's abnormality. Only Harry felt embarrassed. He ate very fast on purpose, and he had been doing this for the past few days, so as not to embarrass himself any longer.

After Harry finally finished his dinner, he hurried back to his bedroom, and finally found something that could make him feel better.

Hedwig returned with two reply letters in her paws.

He couldn't wait to open the first envelope, only to find that Qiu actually wrote back to him.

"What did she write?"

"Open it!"

"Didn't you say she refused to write to you?"

The three Weasley brothers were elusive, Qi Qi poked his head out behind him and asked, and could vaguely see a thin figure lurking at the door.

"Go, go." Harry waved them away.

The twins left laughing and took the sneaky Ginny away.

Ron stayed still, this was his bedroom too.

"If it doesn't work, you can just ask Hermione." He gave up the plan to read Qiu Zhang's reply, and started to come up with a bad idea: "Anyway, she is also a girl, maybe she knows what Qiu Zhang is thinking. something."

"No, I blamed her." Harry read Cho Chang's reply carefully and said, "She also received a bonus and was traveling around the world with her family, so she couldn't reply in time, and—— Wait a minute, did I read it wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Ron leaned over and asked.

"I see what she means," Harry said hesitantly. "She doesn't seem to regard Ginny as a threat, but instead thinks that my relationship with Hermione is a bit unusual-what's going on? She really thinks so of?"

"Let me see." Ron also read Qiu's reply carefully.

"Are you sure that's what you mean?" After reading it, Ron raised his head and asked, "She just asked for your opinion, and by the way, would she take up time with Hermione? What's the matter?" of."

Harry stared straight at Ron.

"What's the matter?"

"Because she didn't ask you. I don't have only one good friend. Everyone knows that the relationship between the three of us is the best."

"Thanks, I'm so impressed—wait a minute!"

Ron finally came to his senses. He cursed and said, "Why does everyone like to ignore me? No, I'm going to play Quidditch too!"

"I'd rather wish you did," said Harry, opening the second letter.

James finally wrote him back.

Harry didn't know where James was going. The letter he wrote before was also related to his plan to live in the Leaky Cauldron, and it was a long time ago.

He silently watched James' reply, this time Ron didn't bother him.

But Harry seemed to be silent for too long.

"What's the matter?" Ron couldn't help but asked, "What did Eggjeon say?"

Harry looked up, disbelief all over his face.

"He found a clue to my mother."
