Together [HP]

Hermione was in panic and fear, and Jacqueline could understand through her cold hands and slightly trembling lips.Especially, as soon as Hermione and Jacqueline walked out of Yuna's classroom, Hermione immediately hugged herself with one hand, she stopped, and turned her head to look at Jacqueline.

"Who are those people? Why are they here? Why do you want to know what happened at Hogwarts? And why do you want to know about the DA?"

Jacqueline didn't answer Hermione's question, she just massaged Hermione's hand little by little, pinching slowly and carefully from the palm to the forearm, and she didn't stop until Hermione's hand became warm again. down.

"They are the people Fudge is afraid of." Jacqueline explained softly, "They can bring Fudge to power, and they can also make him step down."

Hermione shook off Jacqueline's hand subconsciously, Jacqueline froze, and she looked at Hermione nervously.Hermione looked at Jacqueline like she'd never known Jacqueline.

Jacqueline moved her throat, she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

"Including Professor Graham?" Hermione's voice trembled.

"Including Professor Graham." Jacqueline replied carefully.

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, her neck was a little stiff, and then she hugged herself more forcefully and said in a calm voice, "Then I think you should go back now."

"Hermione." Jacqueline reached out her hand. She wanted to take Hermione's arm, but she slowly let it go. "Hermione," she cried pleadingly, "listen, maybe, maybe My family is not what you think it is. I know, I know maybe I should have explained it to you before. But, about them, I also... I've only been figuring it out for a while. "

Jacqueline stood where she was, she let out a long sigh, she didn't dare to look at Hermione, she looked at the floor, "I love you, Hermione. If, if you want to break up with me because of my family... "

"Break up?" Hermione sounded a little surprised. "Jacqueline, no, I just, I need a little time to accept that my girlfriend and her family may secretly rule the wizarding world. And maybe, she... …she'll be part of a secret society too." Hermione took a deep breath, "But, Jacqueline. I want you back because I think Professor Graham wants you to learn from this meeting Something, it must be useful for your future. But, no, I don't want to break up with you."

Jacqueline breathed a sigh of relief, and she raised her head again. Hermione's face was still a little pale, but she looked a little better than before. "That's really nice, I mean...well." Jacqueline pursed her lips, "But I wish I could send you back, you know it's not very safe for a Gryffindor to walk around campus alone now ..if... a Slytherin or Umbridge popped up..."

Hermione grinned, "It takes me less than 10 minutes to get to the Gryffindor common room from here, and I'm still a prefect. I'm sure I won't come out even if I'm not accompanied by a secret family heir." something."

Jacqueline looked at Hermione, she took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and hugged Hermione without any hesitation, "Thank you, Hermione." Jacqueline whispered next to Hermione's ear, "Just, Miss Granger, there is perhaps one more thing I should tell you. No one of our seven families can be Minister for Magic. So..."

"My girlfriend is more important than a Minister of Magic." Hermione patted Jacqueline on the back, and she kissed the corner of Jacqueline's mouth. "She is more important than anything in this world. So, never Doubt, Jacqueline. I won't part with you unless I stop loving you."

"Can you really go back safely alone?" Jacqueline tried hard to smile, "I can go to this secret party later."

"Go back, Jacqueline." Hermione touched Jacqueline's arm, "do what you should do."

Jacqueline looked at Hermione, who nodded at Hermione, "Thank you, Hermione. But at least let me watch you go."

Hermione laughed, and she waved to Jacqueline, heading up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room.

Jacqueline walked to the door of Yuna's office. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She reached out to knock on the door, but the door opened straight away.Jacqueline walked into the room, and the atmosphere in the room was much more tense than before she just came out. They all stared closely at the pile of slightly smoking ashes on Yuna's desk.

"What is this..." Just as Jacqueline opened her mouth, Yuna reached out her hand to stop her. "It looks like we'll have to make a choice soon. Or maybe, Lady Wessex, you think Fudge deserves another chance?"

"I didn't say that, Mrs. Graham." Wessex leaned back in the chair, folded her arms on her chest, frowned slightly, and looked down.

"Everyone makes mistakes," said Foley, looking from Una to Wessex, "it's just that there are some mistakes we can forgive, and others..." He didn't go on, just Nodding towards Yuna, "I believe Mrs. Graham already has a candidate in her mind."

"Otherwise what are we doing here?" Amelia asked back with a smile, she turned her wrist so that her right heart was facing up, "Let's not waste any more time, okay? I have to go to work tomorrow , and Jacqueline has class tomorrow."

The other six nodded slightly, and they turned their right wrists, palms up.They snapped their fingers at the same time, and several flames of different colors rose in their palms.The flames in the palms of Mrs. Wessex are green, the flames in the palms of Una, Amelia, Foley, Shafik, and Egbert are blue, and the flames in the palms of Ambrosius The flame is pink.

Those blue flames rose slowly into the air and changed into a name: Rufus Scrimgeour.

The pink flame of Mr. Ambrosius turned into another name: Walsh Litton.

But the flame in Mrs. Wessex's palm disappeared immediately.

"Ah, that's interesting." Mr. Ambrosius clenched his palm, then opened it again, and the flame inside had disappeared.Jacqueline just felt that she was in a fog and didn't understand what they were doing at all.

"I don't think Mr. Scrimgeour is ready, Ms. Graham." Ambrosius said still very flatly. "I heard that he hasn't recovered from his wife's death until now, and this time the Azkaban mass escape incident also greatly reduced his impression among the public."

"He'll be ready." Yuna said forcefully.

"But he's not an easy man to get along with, Mrs Graham," said Mrs Wessex. "He might be fit to run the Auror office, but as a minister I don't think he can handle the intricacies of the matter." relation."

"He understands dark wizards, and he also understands the power of You-Know-Who." Foley stood up slowly. "I think the Ministry of Magic's top priority now is to deal with the relationship between You-Know-Who and Death Eaters. As for other things..." He paused , looking at the people in the room, "As long as he can keep us alive, at least I am very willing to help him."

As he spoke, he took out the pocket watch in his pocket and took a look, "It's already past ten o'clock, my old bones must have a good rest." He walked towards the fireplace in the office as he spoke, "The remaining You don't mind leaving it to Mrs. Graham."

"I'll send it to you when everything is ready. Good night, Mr. Foley."

After this, Shafik, Ambrosius, and Wessex all got up and said goodbye.It wasn't until seeing their figures disappearing into the fireplace one by one that Amelia snorted, "An old fox, two good guys, a little fox and a rabbit who wanted to be a fox. Nominated Walsh? Why doesn't he just nominate Sugar? They're both lying in bed and needing care anyway."

"Although Walsh is old, his sanity is still very clear." Yuna glanced at Amelia, "Not to mention, he has a way of secretly arresting."

"And it's his father-in-law." Amelia said impatiently, "But in fact, this is already a big improvement. I thought this matter would not be settled even if it was discussed until tomorrow. I have already Get ready to sleep with you tonight."

"And don't you worry, won't the Minister not find you tomorrow?"

Amelia shrugged, "I'm dispensable now," she said, counting one by one with her fingers, "Look at the department below me, Weasley is a Good man, just been busy with the Order of the Phoenix lately. The Prohibition of Misuse of Magic office has been of little use except for monitoring Muggle-born wizards. Wizengamot, oh yes, speaking of which, don't forget us As for the Aurors, Rufus is in charge. He's better than before, can only drink a bottle of whiskey a week, and the resurrection of You-Know-Who has re-energized him."

"Who isn't?" Yuna looked at Jacqueline, "If you don't mind, I want to have a few words with Jacqueline before curfew."

"Then I won't interrupt your mother-daughter conversation." Amelia said with a smile as she walked towards the fireplace, "By the way, Jacqueline, please help me ask your little girlfriend if you have time. Would love to come to my place and I think she would be a great employee."

When Yuna's office regained its tranquility, Yuna waved to Jacqueline and asked her to sit down on the chair in front of her.She poured a cup of tea for Jacqueline and herself, took a sip, and asked, "Did you send Miss Granger back?"

"She asked me to come back to this meeting first." Jacqueline said truthfully.

Yuna nodded slightly, "Amelia is right, you have to be careful with Ambrosius and Foley, although I think for a long time, we don't need to get together again. I know You should be very confused now, Jacqueline, do you have anything to ask?"

"What's the matter with the flame in your hands?" Jacqueline asked impatiently, "Why are there so many colors?"

"That's just a nomination." Yuna took a small snack and put it into her mouth, "The green flame is like the one in Mrs. Wessex's hand, which means abstention. And in Mr. Shafik nominated Rufus before you came in. So, if we agree with his proposal, the color of the flame will be blue. And if not, it will be the pink that Mr. Ambrosius has color."

"And Mom," Jacqueline glanced at the small pile of ashes on Yuna's desk, "What is this?"

Yuna looked at the pair of ashes and couldn't help frowning, then she tapped lightly with her magic wand, and the pile of ashes disappeared without a trace. "This is what made Wessex make the final decision." Yuna leaned back in the chair, she rubbed her forehead, "This is the feather of Dumbledore's Fawkes, Dumbledore used it as the Order of the Phoenix a way of warning. And that means, "

Yuna looked at Jacqueline, and said word by word: "I'm afraid Dumbledore is no longer the headmaster of Hogwarts."
