[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

After Denis returned from Diagon Alley, he had been waiting in the office for news from the Ministry of Magic.As he expected, the Ministry of Magic couldn't sit still that afternoon.

The person who came to look for him was Hermione Granger, but she did not come alone. Along with her was Harry Potter, who had been famous for a long time but had never had the chance to meet.

The young Gryffindor savior looked at him with scrutiny, and looked for his flaws in a very upright manner. Deni smiled inwardly, pretending he hadn't seen it, and got up to welcome them.

"I didn't expect you to come here. I was still in Diagon Alley this morning." He said in a lazy and indifferent tone, while taking the two of them to the living room of the president's office, and asked the secretary to bring two cups of coffee.The whole process was alienated and polite, and the smile on the face was also formulaic. It seemed that they were just treating them as less important partners.

Yet he was so casual that Harry shook his doubts.Not sure if Denis really has some ulterior plan, because he doesn't seem to care about gaining a foothold in the wizarding world at all.If he really had some intention, shouldn't he be more active?

Hermione didn't know what the friends around her were thinking in silence.Harry has always liked to serve as a background board in social occasions. Today's performance is not special, so she didn't care. She smiled and said to William: "We know your itinerary today, and your speech has appeared in several newspapers. very exciting."

Denis spread his hands, with a lazy, natural complacency on the corners of his mouth, as if Hermione's praise was something he deserved, so there was no need to be happy about it.

"You mentioned the Ministry of Magic this morning," interrupted Harry, not used to official language arts, and his sudden addition seemed rather abrupt.

Deni glanced at him lightly: "Yes."

"The Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with your donation to Hogwarts," said Harry dryly.

Facing the words of the savior who revealed the attitude of the Ministry of Magic if he disagreed with him, Denis struggled to hold back his laughter, shook his head in disapproval, and said calmly: "This is wrong, any reconstruction project must rely on The Ministry of Magic came to push, you can't stay out of it, and then expect Hogwarts to get better on its own. Now there is no 12 directors who provide the school with gold Galleons unconditionally."

Harry froze for a moment, and then realized that Hogwarts used to be supported by the financial resources of 12 families.With the downfall of the entire Slytherin, the 12 families that once stood behind Hogwarts were directly reduced by half, and the remaining families could not afford the expenses of Hogwarts at all.The help that can be provided is just enough to barely open the school.

Deni glanced at his reaction, shrugged, and said casually: "Maybe without Slytherin, the Ministry of Magic is simply not good enough to do a lot of things."

Hermione frowned, disapproving of his statement very much, but thinking carefully about the predicament of the Ministry of Magic during this period, she couldn't find any rebuttals for a while.Deni raised the corner of his mouth, and pushed the Daily Prophet on the table in front of her: "Don't try to refute, just look at what your ministers are doing. Four Slytherins scare you like this, I have to Doubt that your abilities cannot compete with Slytherin at all."

"We're not in competition," Hermione said seriously.

Deni sneered and spread his hands, "Whatever you say, as long as you believe it."

He stood up suddenly, as if he didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, took out the key that he had shown in the morning from the desk drawer, and snapped it in front of Harry, startling the pensive savior.

"You can leave now." He said and turned back directly to the desk, looked down at the documents, and saw off the guests with action.

Before Hermione and Harry could react, Miss Secretary had already entered with a sweet smile on her face, standing at the door and watching them.That look seemed to be asking, are you going to stay here?

"Mr. Bartolomé..." Hermione stood up and wanted to say something, but Harry stopped her.The young savior obviously didn't want to waste time on each other like Denis. Hermione sighed, and didn't expect to correct Denis' thoughts with a few words, and left silently with Harry.

After the two Gryffindors left, Denis threw down the document he didn't know what it was, spread out in the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The wizard is really troublesome." He complained.If it was a fight between vampires, they would have chosen a more direct method. They could use one party's life to solve the problem in a very short time, so there was no need for such effort.

If William was here, he would probably laugh at his savage ideas, and despise the entire vampire world for being uncivilized.Deni curled his lips, and boldly thought that no matter how much William disliked him, the half of the blood belonging to the Michelson family in his bones would never get rid of him. He would always be a half vampire.

The bookshelf in the corner of the office slowly moved away, revealing an inconspicuous door.Rita came out from behind the door, holding a roll of parchment and her usual imaginative quill.

"Do you want to take a look?" She waved the parchment in her hand, but did not hand it to Denis.At the Daily Prophet, she had disliked being controlled by editors, and she did not like Denis' interference now.

Fortunately, Deni just glanced at her with no interest, then turned his head and said perfunctorily, "No, you are a very good reporter, so you probably don't need my help to check."

Rita smiled, quickly put the banknotes into the bag, and prepared to leave as if Deni would change her mind.

"Wait." Deni stopped her: "I hope to see your report in the newspaper as soon as possible."

Rita's heart that was mentioned just now relaxed again, and she smiled happily: "Don't worry, I still have something to do with the Daily Prophet."

Deni waved his hand and said without energy: "Waiting for your news."

Just when the Ministry of Magic was caught off guard by Denis' sudden "kindness", Draco and William apparated directly from Diagon Alley back to Malfoy Manor.

It had been a while since the two of them came here last time.The Ministry of Magic's close watch and the entire wizarding world's doubts made Draco not choose to open the manor even though he had been freed from the crime.He didn't want to put pressure on the people to return Slytherin at a critical time.

Malfoy is different from Zabini. For hundreds of years, they have always adhered to the position of Slytherin and dark wizards.This stance made them harder to accept after the Dark Lord's War.

But there may be a little change after today.I don't know how many of those questions about Malfoy will be transferred to the Ministry of Magic...

It's time to get ready to go home.
