After the Talisman incident, the days ahead should be uneventful for most.Even Fudge quickly put the matter of being bitten by a snake behind him and focused on the struggle for power in the Ministry of Magic, but from that day on, he would never stand within a three-meter radius of Lucius unless necessary within.

By the way, there is another unlucky person—the Snake King did not know where, because of Draco's small report, the Platinum Noble mistakenly believed that he had an affair with the Dark Lord.As a result, poor little Platinum had to go to the Potions Office the day before his final exam to complete his class service, which consisted of squeezing slug juice...

The day of the final exam also happened to be the time for the second retrial of the Lestrange couple. The reason why the trial was suspended for so long was that Barty Crouch Jr. admitted that he was the same as 12 years ago after being arrested. Death Eaters, but he also claimed that everything was done by his father.

Because the Ministry of Magic has released three Death Eaters before that, although everyone knows that the three poor people who are still receiving treatment in St. The Dead Apostles have corrupted the Ministry of Magic.The escape of the Lestrange couple shows that they absconded in fear of crime.Even old Crouch thought he had a chance to recapture the three people who were acquitted, so as to restore his reputation.

He even instructed his son to kidnap the Deputy Financial Secretary, Mr. Malfoy, and kill him as soon as possible.Fortunately, Mr. Malfoy is carrying an amulet that can sense his partner, otherwise it must be a tragedy.

Of course, the old Crouch would not admit these things. He insisted that he was innocent, and he was even willing to accept Veritaserum in order to prove himself, but Little Crouch also expressed his willingness to accept Veritaserum.And both of them got a drop of Veritaserum, and the unexpected happened, and the truth they told after Veritaserum was no different from the truth they told before Veritaserum.In other words, there are two truths...

But when these things were reported in the newspapers, most of the people believed the truth from their son.And skeptical about the truth of old Crouch.

First of all, because Crouch's reputation has been rotten to a certain extent before, everyone can't help but think, "Is the man who threw so many innocent people into prison but shielded his son really innocent?".

Secondly, most human beings have a hatred of the rich and like to sympathize with the weak.Although little Crouch had no worries about food and clothing when he was imprisoned by his father, the huge mental pressure made him pale and depressed.On the contrary, old Crouch has always been a serious and tough guy.People involuntarily turned their sympathy to little Crouch, thinking that even if such a handsome and thin young man made a mistake, he would not be the mastermind, but was coerced.

In the end, old Crouch is an important official of the Ministry of Magic, and he is also a friend of Dumbledore. Will the Ministry of Magic, which has been exposed to corruption scandals every year, be equal in the trial?Old Crouch is clean, but many officials of the Ministry of Magic are not. Before that, Old Crouch could look at those greedy colleagues with disdain and arrogance, but he didn't know that as an official, in the eyes of the public , he is actually no different from those people.

As a result, before dealing with the fugitive incident, the Ministry of Magic had to deal with old Crouch first.Two days ago, old Crouch had no choice but to retire early, but the matter was not over yet, and what awaited him was another trial.

This incident made a big fuss, apart from Lucius and Quirrell, who were obviously the parties involved but were leisurely, even the students also made a big fuss.

But the unexpected joy is that the conflicts between the departments of the students have weakened.Because even the most die-hard Gryffindor has to admit that old Crouch is a dirty hypocrite, that Headmaster Dumbledore has made friends, and that the three formerly freed are indeed innocent—whether the prisoner Innocent and old Crouch's character became two opposite things.

And since the former idol old Crouch has become like this now, what need do the Lions have to continue to debate with others?And the little snakes were very kind, and no longer held on to their previous words and deeds, but gently invited them to join the camp of criticizing Crouch, so the entire Hogwarts students , Harmonized amidst the scolding of old Crouch...

And Dumbledore turned out to be a big beneficiary of this incident.The hero who once fought against the Death Eaters, and now the embezzlement and perversion of the well-known officials of the Ministry of Magic can attract people's attention more than the pornographic news of an old principal and old hero.So there have been a lot fewer wedding gifts and wedding messages from around the world these months.But on the other hand, if old Crouch entered Azkaban, then the Ministry of Magic's white wizard forces, which had been hit hard after Fudge's defection, would almost be completely destroyed—the few remaining Azkaban Law and the Department of Muggle Affairs were almost as good as none.

Therefore, Dumbledore has not returned to Hogwarts for a long time.

Quirrell, who was proctoring the second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts written test, just thought of this when the door of the classroom opened suddenly. Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, who hadn't seen him for a long time, walked in solemnly, and nodded at Quirrell.Professor McGonagall hurried to the little fat Neville who was writing quickly, while Dumbledore walked to Quirrell.

"Mr. Longbottom had a relapse while he was testifying," Dumbledore whispered in Quirrell's ear.

"A relapse?" Quirrell asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Dumbledore sighed. "He took veritaserum, but after speaking two sentences, he passed out in court and never woke up again."

"What a tragedy..."

"Professor Quirrell, I haven't finished my paper yet." Neville followed Professor McGonagall and walked over. Apparently, Professor McGonagall hadn't told him what happened, but he had a bad premonition.

"I will judge the score according to the correct rate of this part of your answer." Quirrell patted Neville's immature shoulder, "Go with Professor McGonagall, Neville."

"Yes, goodbye, Professor Quirrell."

After leaving the examination room, until the final banquet of this semester, Neville did not come back.And although Dumbledore presided over the banquet as usual, the old headmaster, who was always in good spirits, rarely showed fatigue on his face.

There are three reasons for this:

One is the old Crouch who is facing prison. Although Dumbledore knew that he was wronged, he had no choice but to lack evidence, and it was "the voice of the public" to let Crouch enter Azkaban.

Second, the one who won the Academy Cup this year is Slytherin, who also won the Quidditch championship. Hogwarts, which is intertwined with green and silver, is not beautiful in Dumbledore's eyes.

The third is because of an unexpected incident, Dumbledore is likely to be entangled in the lawsuit himself...

Frank Longbottom's reoccupation at St. Mungo's was hardly news, and the two women of the Longbottom family did not blame Dumbledore for it.However, this does not mean that everything is calm, because Mrs. Longbottom and Mrs. Longbottom had a conflict. After the death of her son and daughter-in-law, the old lady donated most of the family's property, including Longbottom Jr. Madam's dowry.

The old lady's approach is undoubtedly respectable, but the sober daughter-in-law doesn't think so, but it's not out of selfishness for personal enjoyment, it's also for the family—even if the potion professor and the Malfoy family can't be combined The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts invited him to his home for tutoring during the holidays, but he should at least invite a few tutors for Neville, right?And what will Neville do when he grows up?

You must know that after so many years in the British magic world, various industries have been divided up by the big nobles, and the Longbottom family originally had a share of it.But now, the old lady has donated everything, and they are just commoners with noble titles.When Neville became an adult, if he hadn't entered the Ministry of Magic, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to make a living from scratch, so he could only work for someone else.

Of course, these are things that Mrs. Longbottom can bear. What she can't accept is the old lady's way of educating Neville. That simple, rude and authoritarian way has already tortured poor Neville into A trembling little poor man!

Little Mrs. Longbottom could have fought with her husband for justice in the wizarding world, but she did so so that her offspring would no longer live in darkness and terror.Her children should grow up happy and lively in a peaceful environment with no worries about food and clothing.Moreover, the head of the Longbottom family should actually be Frank Longbottom. Even if he loses his ability to judge, the old lady should take good care of the property for her grandson instead of donating them. The donation should be made by Neville himself!

For the sake of the child, after negotiating with her mother-in-law to no avail, Mrs. Longbottom found the documents donated that year.It was indeed the old Mrs. Longbottom who signed it at the time. Alice Longbottom found a lawyer. After repeatedly studying the documents, she confirmed that these donation documents were invalid. She had a chance to get back her property, even if not [-]%, but at least [-]% Forty or fifty is still possible.

The old lady who learned of this incident, of course, had a big fight with her daughter-in-law, and even drove Alice out of the house.But Alice still went to the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore with the documents. Her husband has become like that. I don't know if there is any possibility of recovery. Her son is everything to her. For Neville, she can abandon everything.

"Hurry up! Get on the train, Harry!" Hogwarts train station, when he was about to board the train, Draco found that Harry had disappeared, "You're reading that newspaper again, what's so interesting about it?"

"Draco, my godfather said, I should follow my father's wishes and be a good Auror. Headmaster Dumbledore said, I should remember my parents - of course I will remember my parents, I don't quite understand Deng What does Principal Bullido mean by these words? The principal always likes to be mysterious. Professor Quirrell said that in the future, I can live the life I like. Principal Snape said that I should live in peace and happiness."

When he heard the last sentence, Draco's expression became very strange: "Harry, the dean told you 'Harry, you should live in peace and happiness?' It's too unimaginable."

"Uh... At that time, the dean used many adjectives, but the fundamental meaning is still the same."

One corner of Draco's mouth twitched: "May I ask if there are any adjectives?"

"'Great savior Potter, if it's not slug mucus rolling in your head, you should know not to get me and yourself in trouble all the time, or I'll dip you in the pus of Barbour's tuber , and hang it in the cellar to dry.’ That’s what the dean said at the time.”

"Google." Harry's eloquent repetition made Draco swallow his saliva, "Harry, I don't realize that these two sentences have anything in common."

"The dean has a gentle and considerate heart, you should feel it carefully, Draco."

"..." Draco looked like he was about to faint.

"In short, what the dean told me is the closest to what Neville's mother did to Neville. I'm not saying that other people treated me badly, I just think..."

"The dean is most like your mother?" After saying this, Draco scared himself enough.

"That's what it means, but it's not quite right, it should be..."

"It should be to stop your wild thoughts and get in the car!" Drake, who couldn't stand Harry, dragged the savior's arm into the car.

It should be the dean's love and concern for me, which is closest to my mother's love for me--the train slowly opened, and Harry, who was looking towards Hogwarts through the window, thought silently in his heart.For some reason, he felt a little happy, but a little uncomfortable.

"Draco, will the dean come to your house this holiday?"

"Should be, because my father has a special body now." Draco's eyes lit up, his face fascinated, "I want a younger sister, Harry, the cutest kind, she will be the most beautiful princess, I will put The whole world is in front of her!"

"Then can I come to your house as a guest?"

The fascination on Draco's face disappeared immediately: "For my future sister, Harry, if your godfather doesn't step into my house, I will agree."

In Harry's mind, the little godfather and the headmaster sat at opposite ends of the scale, thinking for only a second, the godfather...

"Deal, Drake!"
