The leader of HP arrives

The life of the Weasley family is not easy, and Peter Pedilu's testimony cannot really shake Dumbledore's position, but the Weasley family is the best scapegoat candidate, even if Dumbledore firmly believes that Weasley is innocent, The reporters couldn't wait to point their finger at Arthur Weasley.A large part of this is due to Mrs. Weasley's tough attitude. This not tall witch has used her wand to expel journalists who want to film The Burrow more than once, threatening to send ghouls to the building of the Daily Prophet. .

In retaliation, the reporter of the Daily Prophet printed a photo of Mrs. Weasley waving a wand and roaring on the front page of the newspaper. He wrote in the report: "Not long ago, when interviewed by reporters, Mr. Weasley once said that Before being arrested, the family always believed that the mouse Scabbers was just an ordinary pet mouse, and they had no knowledge of hiding and sheltering Peter Pedilou. In this regard, the author once thought that the Weasley family’s explanation was unconvincing, and most of them Even if wizards cannot tell the difference between ordinary animals and Animagus, they can clearly realize that it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary pet mouse to survive to the advanced age of teenagers without magical potions. But in After seeing and visiting the Burrow, I realized that my previous suspicion of Mr. Weasley was undoubtedly a mistake." He described in detail the goblins in the courtyard, the strangely shaped Burrow, and the rude and violent Weasley, who was obviously hysterical. Mrs. Sly, "Even standing in the courtyard, the author can feel the mess, poverty, and lack of education of this family. A Muggle car that has obviously been transformed by magic appeared in the courtyard of the staff of the Muggle Affairs Department of the Ministry of Magic. , Mr. Weasley seems to have perfectly interpreted the definition of dereliction of duty and self-stealing for us."

After being shut out, more journalists quickly found new breakthroughs.The Financial Secretary of the Ministry of Magic is happy to provide them with a list of Mr. Arthur Weasley's salary in the past ten years. Position.This list was also published in the newspaper, along with the yearly expenses of an average wizarding family.After the simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the reporters said that Mr. Weasley's financial situation would not be able to raise seven children unless additional funding was obtained.Naturally, this funding could only have come from the Order of the Phoenix grant, or rather, as Fudge suggested, from Hogwarts operating funds embezzled by Dumbledore.

The influence of public opinion also began to appear in Hogwarts. For the first time, the little wizard of the Weasley family received a cold reception in Gryffindor, which was directly reflected in the reduction in sales of the twins' prank candy.The twins originally planned to use the money to buy a new dress for the youngest sister to wear to the prom. They have inquired because there is also a prom in the Triwizard Contest, but the current sales have made them feel heavy financial pressure. .

But the little Weasley princess soon received better compensation, a gift from Draco, a gorgeous dress and exquisite accessories in a discreetly packaged gift box.

"I don't think it's a kind of pity." Draco looked at Ginny, his gray-blue eyes showed a color close to the sky in the sun, "Slander, cold reception, exclusion, in the past ten years or so, the wizarding world That’s how Slytherin wizards are treated, including the Weasley family, of course.” Ginny’s face flushed, and she almost wanted to draw out her wand, but Draco’s steady voice reassured her, “Anyway, The Weasley family has always been one of the pure-blood nobles. No matter how bumpy the road Malfoy chooses, he has to walk through it with a smile even on his knees. My father once taught me that no pure-blood wizard will be ridiculed by ridiculous rumors. Knockout, I hope you won't be the first."

"But, but, I don't know what to do—" Ginny hesitated for a long time, and finally ignored her brothers' repeated warnings and teachings, reached out and grabbed Draco's sleeve, "Help me—"

"Can you keep a secret? You'll tell your brothers, you'll tell Harry Potter, you'll tell the professor—" Draco looked into Ginny's pleading eyes, as if weighing the value of an item, "no, No, I won't help you. I can't trust you yet, Ginny Weasley."

"I'll keep it a secret. I can sign the Fidelity Charm." The little girl explained eagerly, "I've seen this spell in a book, if it wasn't for Peter Pedilou—"

"If Peter Pedillo hadn't given the address, the Death Eaters would never have been able to get the address of the Savior's family, and Dumbledore would not have been able to realize his plot." Zabini made a side-sliding step, from the shadow of the corner Stand up, "As far as I know, the Fidelity Curse still needs a witness. Do you have the honor to serve the two of you?"

"Remember, this is a secret." The signing of the spell went smoothly, and dark green patterns appeared on the wrists of the two of them. Draco handed a brown paper bag to Ginny, and left without looking back.

"Are you really not going to tell me the truth, my dear Drake?" Zabini chased up and grabbed Drake's shoulders, "Can't you really satisfy the curiosity of your best friend? For your sake as a witness, I can swear to Merlin that I have never worked so hard even on the primary wizard exam—”

The little platinum nobleman stopped in his footsteps, turned around and looked at Zabini seriously, "Forget Ginny Weasley, forget that brown paper bag, Zabini. If I were you, I would cast a forget everything null."

Drake's footsteps gradually drifted away, and the smile on Zabini's face became weaker and weaker.He has known Draco for a long time, and in his mother's failed marriages again and again, only this little nobleman with platinum-blond hair and pale skin has always stayed by his side.When he returned to England and saw Drake again at Hogwarts, he suddenly discovered that the old friendship had already fermented into another shocking emotion in his heart.

Night had already enveloped Gryffindor Tower, and no one was aware of Ginny Weasley's silent return.The dress was properly stored in the closet, the brown paper bag was opened, and an old Muggle diary appeared in front of Ginny.The little girl looked at this gift suspiciously. The scuffed cover was in the same style as the second-hand textbooks on the table. This was not the aesthetic style of a Slytherin wizard. She didn't understand how a blank diary could help herself.This may be another tease by Slytherin, or it may be the irony of Malfoy's whim. The little witch glanced at the magic pattern under her sleeve, and finally picked up the quill to write the first word in the notebook.

The ink seeped into the paper from the tip of the pen, and then disappeared quickly. A line of gorgeous characters emerged on the yellowed paper, "I am Riddle, Riddle Slytherin, heir to Hogwarts."
