Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Continuing the discussion served no purpose other than to confuse and disturb Harry even more.

Hermione left the room muttering something, as if to say, "Boys!"

For the next week, Mr. Weasley and Percy were rarely home.

They both left the house early in the morning before anyone else was up, and did not return until long after supper.

As for Sirius, he never even appeared.

He sent a few letters to Ivan and Harry, briefly introducing himself and his current situation, so that they don't have to worry.

The first thing he did after he became an Auror was to track down the traces left by vampires.

This sort of thing was bad enough just to think about it, but Sirius couldn't get enough of it.

It can be seen from the letter that although they have not yet discovered the whereabouts of Keresis and Voldemort, they have already grasped many clues.

These days, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are almost turning the entire British wizarding world upside down.

In addition to the letter from Sirius, Ivan also received many strange letters.

On the second day of his stay, hundreds of owls crowded into the burrow, and letters nearly filled the place.

These were sent by wizards who heard about Aiwen's deeds, from all over the world.

Among them, some are his admirers, and some want to know the truth of the incident.

There are also some wizards who are exploring the secret of Aiwen's powerful strength.

In the end, Aiwen was so annoyed that he handed over all these letters to Dobby the house elf.

Since then, not a single strange owl has been seen.

Lupine had visited the Burrow a few times and bought many presents for everyone.

He is also very busy now, there are so many things waiting for him to do.

After the sales volume and scope of reports of "Hogwarts Wizardry" expanded, the pressure and workload of document compilation and review were much stronger than before.

Although other people were hired, and Ivan and Hermione could help, Lupine still volunteered for most of the work.

For example, the recent interview and follow-up report on Aiwen was almost done by him alone.

Another point is that Ivan gave him a good salary, but he didn't buy a new robe.

He was still wearing his shabby, patched, washed-white wizard robes, but his mental state and complexion were much better.

As a werewolf, Lupine has been adrift for more than a decade after graduating from Hogwarts, living in the shadows of the edge.

Before, such a stable and respectable job was beyond his imagination, so he cherished it very much.

Naturally, there is no need to say more words of thanks, that would seem too hypocritical.

Anyway, Ivan was very relieved to hand over the "Hogwarts Ministry of Magic" and the store to Lupine.

In his opinion, Lupine, like Percy, was overworked, spending almost all his time on work.

He urgently needs a girlfriend now, and building a happy family is the most urgent thing for him to do.

In the rare leisure time in the next few days, apart from studying ancient runes and completing the summer homework he learned from Ginny, Aiwen played wizard chess, Quidditch and other games with Harry and the others, or helped Wei Mrs. Sly cleans up the house and works with Fred and George on a new mischief product.

Aiwen proposed some new ideas, so that they should not be limited to prank products, but broaden their horizons.

In addition, Ivan also talked to Bill several times.

From the other party's description, he became more determined to take time to visit Egypt.

In addition to "Jade Record", the ancient ruins and mysterious magic left by ancient Egyptian wizards are also the main reasons that attract him.

Nick LeMay said that the "Book of Abraham" was obtained in Egypt more than 600 years ago.

That's where it all started, and Ivan had a feeling that he might get the secret about the evil god from there.

In this way, the happy time always passes quickly, and it is the last day before school starts in a blink of an eye.

The only thing that makes Ivan dissatisfied is that the relationship between him and Hermione has not made substantial progress during this period.

Although the two are together almost all day now, whenever Ivan wanted to say something or take the initiative to do something, Hermione hurriedly changed the subject or avoided it.

What happened that night is so fresh in her memory that she doesn't give Ivan a chance at all now.

Especially Hermione was a little scared. If Ai Wenqiang came, she really didn't seem to have anything to do.

Chapter 501 The Ministry of Magic in Chaos

On the last night, Percy returned to the Burrow uncommonly early.

He looked exhausted, but extravagant.

"What a mess," Percy told the group, with serious air. "I've been fighting a fire all week. People keep sending Howler letters, and of course, if you don't open the Howler letter right away, it's going to die." It would explode. My desk was covered with burnt marks and my best quill was reduced to a heap of cinders."

"Why do they have to send Howler letters?" asked Ginny.

She was sitting on the living room rug in front of the fire, patching up her copy of A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi with Scotch tape.

"It goes without saying, of course it's a complaint about the safety of the World Cup," Percy said. Someone broke the tent and asked us to pay him for a tent with twelve bedrooms and an attached jacuzzi. But I found out about him, he was not injured at all, and was actually in a tent supported by sticks Spend the night under the cross-mouth cloak."

At the same time that the vampires were attacking the stadium that night, the camping area was also attacked.

Many people were affected, especially the tent near Crouch's home, which was the hardest hit area.

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

Of course, they found nothing, and caused a lot of wizards a lot of money.

You know, in order to show off at the World Cup, the wizards took a lot of good things and put them in the tent.

Mrs. Weasley brought them drinks and glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner.

It was a magic clock, and if you wanted to know the time, it was utterly useless, but it gave you many other facts.

It has nine gold needles, each with the name of one of the Weasleys engraved on it.

There are no numbers on the face of the clock, but there are places where each family member may be.

There are "home", "school" and "work", as well as "on the way", "missing", "hospital", "prison" and so on.

At twelve o'clock on the ordinary clock, it is marked "DANGER TO LIFE".

Although the appearance of this clock is not very good, but the production level is very high, it is a very rare magic item.

It's been handed down from the Weasley family, and no matter how down-and-out, a pure-blood wizarding family has some bottom-of-the-box treasures.

This magic clock is such a thing, just put the hands representing a family member on it, and it can be used.

Like the Marauder's Map, it involves the "magic of nomenclature" in its production and use.

This is a very unpopular and profound branch of magic, and only powerful and knowledgeable wizards can dabble in it.

For example, Voldemort, he cast a spell on his name, as long as the area where the person who mentioned this name is located will be sensed, and the simple defensive magic around will be destroyed, and the Death Eaters will rush over immediately, so everyone Very afraid, afraid to mention this name, but call Voldemort by the mysterious man.

This is another extreme way to use the magic power of nomenclature, and probably only really powerful dark wizards will do this.

All in all, this aspect of content is too rare, and Ivan can not get much of this aspect from the magic book.

Every time he saw this clock, he had an urge to open it and take a look at the internal structure.

At this moment, the eight hands on the clock are all pointing to the position of "home".

Mr. Weasley's needle, the longest of the nine needles, was still pointing at "Work".

Mrs. Weasley sighed and said sadly, "Arthur hasn't had to work overtime on weekends since You-Know-Who's gone. Now they're going to wear him out, and if he doesn't come back soon, his dinner will be ruined." .”

"Hey, Dad thinks he's got to make up for what he did on final day, doesn't he?" Percy said. "Honestly, it's kind of unwise for him to speak in public without asking his department head..."

"It's all written by that annoying woman of Skeeter, how dare you blame your father for it!" Mrs. Weasley got angry all of a sudden, and said loudly.

"If Dad doesn't say anything, that old guy Rita will comment that the Ministry of Magic doesn't say a word, it's a disgrace." Bill, who was playing chess with Ron, said, "Rita Skeeter never To write nice things about people, remember, she interviewed all the spellbreakers at Gringotts once, and called me Shaggy!"

"Your hair is a little long, dear!" said Mrs. Weasley softly. "You just let me..."

"No, Mom."

The raindrops were pattering on the window of the living room, and Aiwen sat by the fire studying the ancient runes in front of him.

Not far from him, Hermione was reading "Standard Spells, Level [-]" intently.

Charlie was darning a fireproof hood, Harry was polishing his Firebolt, and the Broomstick Care Manual Hermione had given him as a gift for his thirteenth birthday lay open at his feet.

Fred and George sat in a corner over there, quills in hand, their heads pressed against a piece of parchment, talking in low tones, as if furtively not to be known.

"What are you two doing?" asked Mrs. Weasley sternly, keeping her eyes on the twins.

"Do your homework," Fred replied vaguely.

"Don't be ashamed, it's a holiday now," said Mrs Weasley.

"Yeah, we're procrastinating a bit," George said.

"You're not thinking about another Weasley trick, are you?" Mrs. Weasley pointed out sharply.

"Oh, mother," said Fred, looking up at her with a pained expression on his face, "if the Hogwarts express train were crashed tomorrow, and George and I were dead, you thought we'd start from you The last sentence heard here is a baseless accusation, how should you feel?"

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

"Oh, your father is back!" she said suddenly, looking up at the watch clock again.

Mr. Weasley's needle suddenly jumped from 'to work' to 'on the way'.

One clock later, it tremblingly stopped at the position of "home" together with other needles.

At this time, everyone heard Mr. Weasley shouting from the kitchen.

"Here we come, Arthur!" cried Mrs. Weasley, hastily leaving the room.

A moment later, Mr. Weasley walked into the warm living room with his dinner on a tray.

He looked exhausted, exhausted to the extreme.

"Well, things are getting out of hand," he said to Mrs. Weasley, sprawled out in an armchair by the fireplace, listlessly fiddling with a plate of wrinkled cauliflower. Tet has been poking around all week, searching for more confusion at the Ministry to report. Now that she's found poor old Bertha's disappearance, it looks like that's going to be the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow. I Told Ludo that he should have sent someone to find her long ago."

A few days ago, the editor-in-chief of "Daily Prophet" sent Ai Wen a letter.

The letter said that Rita Skeeter wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him, but Aiwen didn't give her a chance at all, so he directly refused.

He didn't want the other party to describe him as a little monster with bad habits, or a dark wizard.

This woman has been making rumors to attract the public's attention, it's better for Ivan to stay away from her.

Of course, if Rita Skeeter provokes him, Ivan will not be polite, he knows what the other party is doing.

Chapter 502 The Scary Shadow of the Vampire

As for the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins, it is indeed very sad. If nothing else, people may never find her.

After Sirius joined the Ministry of Magic, he was responsible for the events of the Fallen Centaurs.

But that happened in Albany after all, and the British Ministry of Magic was beyond its reach.

It has been more than a week since the special investigation team of the International Federation of Wizards has made no substantial progress.

The specific list of death wizards has not been determined, and the purpose of the vampires in doing so is also unclear.

Everything is a mystery, and vampires shadow the entire wizarding world horribly.

Kerexis and his people have become wanted all over the world, but they don't care at all.

Instead, ordinary people fell into panic, fearing that the vampires would attack again.

They didn't even dare to go to crowded places, and the things that restrained vampires were once out of stock.

Even the toy crucifixes that Fred and George made were in short supply, for God knows what else they could be used for besides changing colour.

Besides, vampires aren't afraid of crosses at all, that's just Muggle talk.

"Send for Bertha Jorkins, Mr. Crouch has been saying that for weeks," said Percy.

"Crouch was lucky that Rita didn't find out about Winky," said Mr. Weasley irritably. It could be the headline on the front page for a whole week."

"I suppose we all agree that the elf, despite his lack of responsibility, didn't conjure the Dark Mark, don't we?" Percy argued vehemently.

"If you ask me, I think Mr. Crouch is very lucky that the people of the "Daily Prophet" don't know how he mistreats elves!" Hermione said angrily. Put it on the Hogwarts Newspaper."

"Hermione, think about it!" Percy immediately turned around and counterattacked, "A senior official of the Ministry of Magic like Mr. Crouch deserves the absolute obedience of his servant..."
