Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Chapter 513: Inauguration Ceremony (4,000 words large)

The month of flaming fire, the end of June.

The Ministry of Magic, which has just experienced one turbulent catastrophe after another, exudes fiery vitality just like the weather this June.

Today is the first day of the official establishment of the British Magic League.

The first general secretary of the British Magic Federation will also announce his inauguration today.

Soon, in less than a few hours, the good gentleman Cornelius Fudge will seize the highest power in the British wizarding world.

It was 8:15 a.m. on June 28, 1996, and three hours and forty-five minutes before the official inauguration of Cornelius Fudge.

But now the halls of the Ministry of Magic have been redecorated and filled with colourful flowers.

These flowers are not neatly arranged, but appear everywhere in the hall of the Ministry of Magic as if they are savage growth——

Some grow from the corners between the ground and the wall, some grow on completely vertical and smooth glass, and some grow upside down, seeming to completely overcome the gravity or the growth law of the plant itself, generally from the ceiling, or the second floor. The underside of the platform grows downward.

These flowers seem to be enchanted, exuding an extremely strong floral fragrance, swaying in the Ministry of Magic, which should not be windy, as if they have life or have their own fresh consciousness, welcome everyone from Feifei Visitors walking out of the green flames of the road network.

When Harry came out of the Ministry of Magic's Floo network with Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and other members of the Order of the Phoenix, he was immediately caught in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic. The strong fragrance of flowers made him sneezed three times in a row.

Harry reluctantly wiped his nose, he hated the strong floral fragrance here.

He knew that Sirius, who had become a **** dog, felt the same way, because from the moment they entered the hall of the Ministry of Magic, Sirius had been flapping his tail impatiently, lying in a corner at the same time, very anthropomorphic Hua covered his nose with his two front paws.

In order to prevent people from being noticed, all the members of the Order of the Phoenix were dispatched to arrive——

The first to arrive were Shacklebolt Kingsley, Alastor Moody, and Sirius Black who turned into the Big Black Dog, a suspended Auror, and it seemed like a lot to show up with a retired ex-Auror chief. Reasonable combination.

Then Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came out of the Floo network with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and the rest of the Weasley family one by one, and everyone knew that Leigh and the Weasleys were so close, it would be strange if they didn't show up together during the summer.

Remus Lupin arrived at the Ministry of Magic as a werewolf wizard, mixed with wizards or other strange magical creatures from Knockturn Alley—

Remus Lupin can also inquire about information by the way.

It's easy--

Thanks to Gilderoy Lockhart's previous book "Harry Potter and the Godfather of Prison Break," Remus Lupin is also a celebrity among werewolf wizards and Knockturn Alley wizards.

Especially when Lupin was one of the few wizards of all werewolf wizards with a proper Hogwarts education.

As soon as Lupin came out of the green flames, he immediately joined the group of werewolf wizards in Knockturn Alley and chatted. He didn't say hello to the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, only nodded slightly when he saw Harry, even if They said hello and pretended to be unfamiliar.

Harry, who had been warned in advance, did not take the initiative to say hello to Lupin, but led him, Ron and Hermione, like three curious babies, to walk east and look west—

This is the condition Harry agreed to last night.

The rest of the Order of the Phoenix can bring Harry and the others to Cornelius Fudge's inauguration, but the only condition is that Harry must pretend to be unfamiliar or ignorant of others after entering the venue, and not interfere with the Order of the Phoenix. actions of others.

Although this made Harry feel a little inexplicable, he agreed.

"Look, my God!" Ron said, pointing to the four long dining tables in front, "They actually prepared food!"

Harry and Hermione looked in the direction of Ron's fingers—

Sure enough, right in front of them, the door frame that originally entered the security check of the Ministry of Magic was replaced by an arch made of flowers. Starting from the arch, four long and wide dining tables extended to the outside. of eating.

"It's delicious!" Ron took a few quick steps, picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, and then picked up a small piece of foie gras skewered on top of the browned bread, "This one is delicious too!"

"Delicious?" Hermione looked at Ron in disbelief. "You just had two big bowls of fresh milk porridge for breakfast, and Mrs. Weasley made you a beef sandwich! How can you eat it?"

"Try it..." Ron shrugged, picked up the plate with the foie gras bread, brought it to Harry and Hermione, and said vaguely, "It's really good. eat."

Hermione rolled her eyes, and Harry shook his head to show he had no appetite.

Ron was helpless, so he had to put the plate back on the dining table, where he had to pick up two more foie gras cakes, and followed Harry and Ron as they walked and ate.

"Tiera should be ahead," Hermione said, "It shouldn't be too far from Cornelius Fudge... To be precise... Cornelius Fudge shouldn't dare to get too far from the mention now. Yella is too far..."

Harry nodded, agreed with Hermione, and took out a gift wrapped in colored paper from the seamless extension bag hanging around his waist.

"Today is Tierra's birthday," said Harry, "I hope he likes our present."

"Well." Hermione also took out a gift from her seamless extension bag, "Every time his birthday was just in time for summer vacation... um... this time Catch up too, but luckily we're all attending Cornelius Fudge's inauguration today.

Ron wiped the oil on his hands, and took out a gift from the seamless extension bag around his waist—

It's just that the seamless extension bag on Ron's waist looks much bigger and uglier than Harry's and Hermione's.

Normally, the traceless extension spell will not be learned until the second semester of the sixth grade. At that time, underage students will be able to make their own traceless extension bags, or transform the interior of a suitcase into a mobile animal world.

But after the summer vacation, Sirius Black saw that Harry was really bored, so he taught Harry and Ron how to make a seamless extension bag in advance.

Hermione had basically mastered it after finishing Tierra's Dumbledore's Army cram school last semester, but she had been busy preparing for the O.W.Ls exam and preparing for Umbridge, so she had no time or mood to make one. .

She was furious when she learned that Harry and Ron had used magic against the rules during the summer.

Even if Sirius explained that the traces of the magic world can only detect whether there are magical fluctuations within a 500-mile radius of underage wizards, if there are other adult wizards around the underage wizards, then the traces have almost no effect, and Hermione still can't. to appease the anger—

It wasn't until she stayed at No. 12 Grimmauld Place for a few days, and not to be outdone, that she made a seamless extension bag, her anger subsided a little.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked towards the rostrum of the inauguration while observing the hall of the Ministry of Magic—

When they came before, the low-key and restrained obsidian and dark gold decoration styles were completely different in the past. Today, the whole hall of the Ministry of Magic is bright red with gold as the base. , bright red curtain.

The huge drapery was dexterously embroidered with countless bizarre and twisted texts and pictures occupying most of the drapery with golden silk threads.

These paintings are also drawn with gold wire, and each painting is different.

In the outermost layer, on the huge drapery closest to the Floo network, there are portraits of a group of house-elves, but unlike the real house-elves, the house-elves on the huge veil are neatly dressed in wizards. clothes, holding a wizard's wand, except for those big round eyes and pointy nose, they are like miniature wizards, the house-elves on the curtain talk to each other, and from time to time they look around with curious eyes Looking, but whenever someone looked at the curtain of house-elf, the house-elf outlined with golden thread on the red curtain would quickly withdraw his gaze, then smiled politely and modestly, and some would take it off. The wizard hats on their heads bowed gently—

That's a completely different way of bowing from when the house-elves were slaves. The house-elves above the curtain were polite, restrained, and proud, paying tribute to the wizards outside the screen as an independent individual.

Hermione was involuntarily attracted by the curtain, and her footsteps gradually slowed down.

"That's great..." Hermione said softly, with a hint of joy in her tone that she didn't even notice, "This is how house-elves should be...they are already No different from us—"

"It's no different!" Hermione was interrupted by a sharp, untimely voice.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked in the direction of the voice—

A tall, thin boy with light blond hair and a back hairline stood behind them, staring at them with anger and disgust.

"Sure enough, mudbloods, like house elves, are a race that should be made slaves," the boy said.

"Draco Malfoy." Hermione wasn't angry, she just said in a tone that couldn't be more plain, "I really hope to see you at school next semester."

After speaking, Hermione looked at Draco Malfoy with a pitying look.

And Draco blushed and stared at Hermione viciously, "Don't be too complacent, Mudblood! I'll make you look good!"

After speaking, Draco Malfoy turned around angrily and immediately.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other inexplicably, as if they couldn't figure out what Malfoy was up to.

They shrugged inexplicably and continued to move a little closer to the podium where Cornelius Fudge was about to deliver his inaugural speech—

Saw the second huge drapery.

Drawn on the curtain are portraits of a group of sturdy centaurs, galloping across the vast wasteland.

When Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at the people and horses in the curtain, those people and horses stopped running, raised their hands, waved enthusiastically at the three of them, and then continued to run up.

The next one is a ferocious werewolf.

When Harry and the others looked at the werewolf, the werewolf stopped its violent movements, and gradually became smaller, turning back into a normal human wizard.

On the next curtain is a group of vampires--

They look human, but pointy ears and slender fangs betray their true identities.

Each vampire on the curtain held a parasol, hiding from the sun as the picture said, sitting on the lawn and green space for a tea party.

Whenever someone looked at them, they would gently raise the black tea or small piece of cake in their hands.

After reading this curtain, Harry, Hermione and Ron looked around at the same time, as if to see if there were any vampires participating in today's inauguration ceremony, but soon, their eyes were lost in the bustling and chaotic crowd. ——

There are too many people today.

The three continued to walk forward.

The curtain in front also spent giants, orcs, mermen, and other magical animals with similar human intelligence.

And on a curtain in front of the podium, is a group of wizards——

There were men, women, old and young, standing among the countless instruments, books and magic items, and several people seemed to be discussing something fiercely. No matter how many people looked at them, they were unmoved, and they were still enthusiastic. discussing.

"Look, Tierra!" Harry said, pointing to the last curtain.

Hermione and Ron also looked carefully over--

It was discovered that the young man inside the veil was Tiera.

"And Dumbledore, Nicknamel, Wu... Wu... Mrs. Wu, Slytherin, and the other two wizards from that day." Hermione also said.

"Yeah." Harry said, and then looked at the rostrum frequently.

"Where's Tiera?" Harry said strangely, "I saw Cornelius Fudge, but what about Tiera?"

"Harry!" At this time, Harry heard someone calling him.

Harry turned around—

Saw a white-bearded old man with a benevolent brow——

That's Dumbledore~www.NovelMTL.com~ and a stern lady with a benevolent face--

That's Professor McGonagall.

And Hagrid, Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor Trelawney, Mrs. Hooch, Mrs. Pince, basically all of the Hogwarts professors except Housekeeper Fitch and Snape have come.

"Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"We have to come and see Cornelius Fudge's inauguration, don't we." Dumbledore said with a smile, and then his voice dropped suddenly, "We all know whose inauguration actually is."

"So Tiera is back?" Harry asked.

"Of course," Dumbledore replied. "He arrived a long time ago. He is making preparations in the background now. He will appear when the inauguration ceremony officially starts at half past eleven. What? You have something to do with him?"

"Oh...no...no, there is..." Harry said, "It's his birthday today and we want to give him a present and wish him a happy birthday.. …”

"He will receive it." Dumbledore said after being silent for a while, then sighed, "He will receive it."
