BGM of this chapter: Jocelin-Leddra Chapman

"Petunia, have you really decided not to go to France with us?" Mr. and Mrs. Clearwater stood in the hallway carrying their suitcases and asked her this question again.

"It's really not necessary, the family has already put a protective spell, and I basically stay in the hospital, I will take good care of myself." Penello repeatedly assured his parents that he would take good care of himself and there would be no danger, so they agreed Reluctantly got into the taxi to the airport.

The mysterious man broke into the Ministry of Magic at the end of the semester. Harry and a group of Hogwarts students faced off with his Death Eaters. It is hard to imagine how they escaped from the hands of a group of dark wizards.All the officials of the Ministry of Magic (including Minister Fudge) who came in a hurry saw Voldemort with their own eyes, and all the slander and slander in the past year were wiped out.People started to question why the Ministry of Magic hadn't announced the news sooner, most of them forgetting that they had chosen not to believe Harry in the first place.

Even if the Death Eaters wouldn't lay their hands on the hospital's healers, considering Penelope's mother was a Muggle, it wouldn't be very safe for Mr. Clearwater to leave her home alone while St. Mungo's was at work.So they contacted Ann's father, Mr. Lawrence, and found a small town in the south of France, where they were going to escape the war.

Speaking of Ann - the twins had a big hit in their last year at Hogwarts.They used the prank products they developed to complete a miracle, leaving a strong mark in the history of Hogwarts, and at the same time, they also left a big shadow in Umbridge's heart... After leaving school They opened their own prank workshop in Diagon Alley. Ann did not leave with them, but finished her studies at Hogwarts with peace of mind. However, she still went to their trick workshop after graduation and became a competent proprietress .

She was with Fred, and after Bill and Fleur got married, the marriage arrangements were to begin.George is in a relationship with a Chaser named Sylvia Winchester of the Gryffindor team at the same level as him, and he has a good career and love.

Penello considered for a long time, but still refused to go to France with his parents for asylum.One is that her promotion of the combination of Muggle medicine and wizard medicine is at a critical juncture, and everything she has done before leaving at this time will fall short; the other is that she is a little uneasy, and always feels that if she leaves like this, she will definitely regret it in the future.She couldn't let Percy go.

Percy has not yet reconciled with his family.

Xu felt that his enthusiasm was in the wrong direction, what he insisted on turned out to be a lie, his self-esteem was troubled, and he was embarrassed to face his family.

When Mrs. Weasley learned that Penello's parents had moved to France and left her to live alone, she often warmly invited her to the Burrow as a guest. Penello refused at first, feeling too embarrassed.Later, Mrs. Weasley explained that she was also very grateful for her treatment of Mr. Weasley. In addition, her kindness was hard to resist, and the food she cooked was so delicious... So she often went to eat, and by the way, she also met Auror. Tonks.

The Weasleys weren't comfortable mentioning Percy directly, and Penelope wasn't that awkward, often asking Tonks for news about him in feigned casualness.In the end, Fudge was kicked out by the angry people. The newly appointed Minister of Magic was Rufus Scrimgeour, who used to be the head of the Auror office. Everyone was counting on him to use tough methods to protect the magic world.As an assistant to the previous minister, Percy continued to serve as the assistant minister of this term. This situation is generally rare, which is enough to show his level.

His talent and ability are undeniable, if not for that quarrel...

All the Weasley children had returned for Christmas, including the twins who had been living in the Wheezing House, with their respective girlfriends, and the Burrow was packed to the brim.On Christmas when the family should be reunited, the picture of being alone at home alone is too miserable, so Penello also went to join in the fun.

Everyone was wearing new sweaters when they sat down to Christmas lunch, and Mrs Weasley had knitted Penello this year, too, in a lovely sky blue.Mrs. Weasley was wearing a brand new witch's hat, sparkling with small star-like diamonds on a dark blue like the night sky. "Arthur!" looking out the kitchen window, "Arthur—it's Percy!"

"what?"

Mr. Weasley turned his head, everyone looked out of the window immediately, Penello stood up, it was Percy, he was striding across the snow in the courtyard, his tortoiseshell glasses twinkled in the sun of.The man walking beside him had long, thick gray hair, and the black cloak was flecked with snow.It's the new minister, Rufus Scrimgeour.

Percy came in and was a little surprised and embarrassed to see Penello, and after an awkward silence he said stiffly, "Merry Christmas, Mom."

"Oh, Percy!" cried Mrs. Weasley, throwing herself into his arms. "Penello is here too..."

"Excuse me for the interruption," said Rufus Scrimgeour, as Mrs. Weasley turned to him, wiping her eyes with a smile. "Percy and I were around - on errands, you know - and he couldn't resist coming to see you."

But Percy had no intention of saying hello to the others.He stood there upright, unnaturally, looking over the heads of the crowd.Mr. Weasley, Fred, and George all looked at him with serious faces.Penello lowered his head to avoid his gaze, expressionless.

"Come in, sit down, Minister!" said Mrs. Weasley in a panic, straightening her hat. "Have a little chicken, or a patch... I mean—"

"No, no, Molly dear. We've been here for five minutes, and I'll walk around the yard, and you'll have a little more chat with Percy. Well, if anyone would show me your lovely garden... ah, that The young man has finished eating, can you take a walk with me?" Scrimgeour looked at Harry.

The atmosphere around the table changed visibly, and everyone's eyes shifted from Scrimgeour to Harry.No one seemed to believe that Scrimgeour didn't know Harry's name, or that it seemed natural that he had been chosen to accompany the Minister for a walk in the garden, since Ginny, Fleur, and George's plates were all empty, too.

"Okay," Harry said, breaking the silence.

Harry went out first, Scrimgeour followed behind him, the sound of the back door closing broke the quiet atmosphere.Mrs. Weasley reacted and pulled Percy to sit next to Penello.With tears of excitement in her eyes, she said: "Come on, sit with Penello, you must have a lot to say... Have you eaten, do you want a dessert? Today's dessert is Penello." Nello and Ginny did it together..."

Percy said stiffly, "No, thank you, Mom."

Penello sat next to him and didn't speak.

After a long silence, Percy said softly, "Are you... how are you?"

Penello turned to look at him, and saw that he was not looking at himself, but staring at the plate, as if studying the patterns on it.
