BGM of this chapter: 9Crimes-DamienRice

Compared with the depressing look of writing boring reports when he first worked in the International Cooperation Department, Percy can be said to be full of spirits, like a sharpened sword.After checking the room, Penello changed his uniform, walked out of the disguised Taotao Co., Ltd., and saw him like this.He was wearing a pure black suit, which fit him neatly, and leaned under the streetlight. When he saw Penello coming out, he immediately waved to her.

It's been a long time since I saw my lover, Penello stepped up and gave him a big hug, Percy took her hand and said, "Are you tired from work?"

"Fortunately, the current job is mainly to see my main therapist, Mr. Smethyke, and I will slowly start to treat myself. But I have learned a lot these days, which is not the same as taking theoretical classes at school. Same feeling," Penello said.

"That's good. There are quite a lot of jobs in the ministry, but it's okay. I can handle it. By the way, I heard that there is a Muggle restaurant nearby with a good reputation. Why don't we try it?"

After official work, Percy will pick her up after get off work every day—except when she is scheduled to be on duty at night, sometimes the two of them will go to the restaurant to have dinner and watch a movie together, and sometimes Percy will send her off just to chat about what happened in the day Go home, like a normal Muggle couple.The Crivatts are happy to see this, and feel that after a while Penello's work stabilizes, they can get married.

Penelope was a little uneasy. The death of Cedric and the return of Voldemort were still a stalk in her heart, but she couldn't see it in the current magical world. On the surface, everyone was still living happily and everything was normal. The Ministry of Magic was whitewashing Peaceful.

She'd asked Percy that question before, and he'd always played it lightly.

"Penelo?" a man called her from behind.

Penello was buying some special potions and medicinal materials for the department in Diagon Alley. When she heard the voice, she turned around and found that it was Elizabeth Hyde, a senior Ravenclaw who was one level older than her.She said pleasantly: "Sister, long time no see. I haven't heard from you since graduation. I didn't expect to meet you here..."

"Seeing that you're here, I'm not sure. Fortunately, it's really you." Elizabeth is more mature and temperamental than when she was in school. Her waist-length black hair was cut short to her ears. A little tanned, "Let's go, let's have a cup of coffee together?"

Penello ordered a latte, and Elizabeth ordered Royal Flame Coffee.The brandy was poured over the sugar cube, and it was burning quietly, and the air was filled with the fragrance of brandy and the burnt aroma of the sugar cube.Elizabeth said: "You must be wondering why I cut my hair short, and there has been no news for so long?"

"After graduating, Wood joined Puddlemere United. He was busy training every day and hardly saw each other. I began to wonder if it was wrong for us to be together in the first place. I haven't liked Quidditch for so long, and his enthusiasm No loss at all. The most frightening thing is that our goals are completely opposite, and it is getting harder and harder to talk about going together."

"Sister..."

"It's been a long time, and there's nothing to comfort me," Elizabeth said lightly. "Later, I couldn't accept it and broke up with him. This year, I went to many places alone, only to realize that I was confined in love before. It's so stupid, there are too many places in this world waiting for me to discover, and only when I see the real world will I realize how small I am." She did look very confident, and Penello felt that she had settled down "Okay, let's not talk about me, how are you and Percy?" Elizabeth said, looking at the ring she was wearing.

Penello said: "It's just engagement now, marriage or something...Let's talk about it when he brings it up."

"When it is confirmed, you must invite me. After all, you are the ones who have watched you along the way. Even if I am in Antarctica, I will definitely come back to participate immediately!" Elizabeth joked.

...

……

One day she suddenly received a letter from Ann.

The letter mentioned the latest Daily Prophet, and she hurried to the waiting room outside to find a new newspaper of the day, and when she opened it, she saw a woman who looked like a toad.She had a broad, flabby face with large, round eyes that bulged slightly.She is beaming and winking at her in the photo, with the caption "Ministry of Magic seeks education reforms, Dolores Umbridge appointed first Senior Inquisitor".

Penelope frowned, then looked down, "This is an exciting new move in the minister's plan to control the so-called decline in Hogwarts education..." She saw a picture of Percy A photo of him was embedded in the middle of the article, in which he was being interviewed by a reporter.

After briefly reading the Daily Prophet, Penello walked back to read Ann's letter, only to realize that Percy moved out of the house during the summer vacation because he disagreed with his parents to join the Order of the Phoenix and had a big fight with them, and he never mentioned it to her this matter.

"In short, I hope you have a good talk with Percy. Hogwarts is messed up by Umbridge now, and many professors are being evaluated by her..." Ann said at the end of the letter.

She and Percy had never argued so violently.

"When did the Ministry of Magic have the right to intervene in Hogwarts? Do you think this Hogwarts is still what it used to be?"

"Yes, Dumbledore's strange behavior over the past few years has made us all worried that he is no longer qualified for the position of headmaster." Percy said bluntly.

"So it's up to this lady investigator to vet the professors? Who gave her the criteria? Don't think I can't see it, the Ministry of Magic is targeting Professor Dumbledore! You are just because he told us that You-Know-Who is back. -"

"You-Know-Who hasn't returned! Dumbledore is old and insane, and Potter is just a liar looking for attention!"

"How can you say that about Dumbledore? And Harry... when did you start calling him Potter? You don't forget that he saved Ron and Ginny - and Cedric's death, Have you been deceived by the Ministry of Magic to look like this?" Percy's eyes made Penello feel very strange, as if... he had never known him before.

"Yes, I admit that he saved Ginny, but look at his actions in the past two years. For the sake of honor, he did something to deceive the Goblet of Fire—making up the news of the resurrection of the mysterious person," he interrupted Penny. Luo wanted to retort, "It seems like this can add a little halo to his identity as the savior! During the summer vacation, he used the Patronus Charm in front of Muggles and was interrogated by the entire Wizengamot. Think he's deranged and violent—"

"How did you become like this..." Penello didn't know what to say. The Percy she knew had always been calm and rational, but now he was very fanatical, as if he had been bewitched by the Ministry of Magic.

"Penelo," he calmed down a little, "shall we stop talking about this? These are reforms that must be experienced, and only by abandoning those old ones that should be banned can we enter a new and better one." era."

"You know what, you look like a complete, messed-up fool now." Penello was very angry, but she felt that she was unexpectedly and unreasonably calm, "I thought about it, why don't we break up. "

The author has something to say: there will be another update in a while, and I am moved by my diligence.
