[Comprehensive] The Wizard and the Fugitive

The lonely figure of the British savior is far away from the crowd, completely different from the image of the Gryffindor-style meditator and incompatible with the bustle of Diagon Alley.Draco was keenly aware of William's emotional fluctuations, followed his line of sight, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Potter." He said the name slowly, looking at the sneaky old acquaintance wrapped in a cloak outside, "I thought the Ministry of Magic planned to exile him."

"It's impossible," William smiled. "The little Weasleys won't agree, not to mention he has Mr. Minister as his backing."

Draco shrugged disapprovingly: "If he always brings obstacles to the plans of the Ministry of Magic, Kingsley may not be willing to be with him." Gryffindor's friendship is not unconditional, which Draco Coe had seen it from Harry Potter experience after experience.

However, what Draco understood, Harry Potter, who cherished friendship very much, did not see it clearly.In his eyes, not only Ron and Hermione, most of the wizards of the Ministry of Magic are comrades in arms who have fought side by side in the war, and they are undoubtedly iron buddies who can be handed over to the back.

He hurried away from Diagon Alley, ran all the way to the Ministry of Magic, and rushed straight into Kingsley's office.

All the ministers' offices and officials who were in the meeting turned their heads to look at him. Their disapproving gazes and expressionless faces were like a bucket of cold water being poured from the top of his head, which instantly calmed his eager and excited mood.

"Harry," Kingsley stood up with a smile, with a gentle gesture, calmly resolving the embarrassment.He walked up to Harry and patted him on the shoulder intimately: "How is this business trip? Is it going well?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, wondering what could go wrong if he went out to contact a circle of relationships on behalf of the British Ministry of Magic.But when Kingsley asked this question, he nodded cooperatively and gave an affirmative answer before talking about Diagon Alley.

Denis was too provocative. He used 10 Galleons to win people's hearts, and at the same time planted the seeds of doubt, making the Ministry of Magic's post-war actions seem superfluous.Coincidentally, not long ago, all four consecutive retrials against Slytherin were passed, which deepened the wizards' suspicions just at this time.

"Who the hell is this Deni Bartolomé?" Harry demanded.He himself didn't notice that there was anything wrong with his tone. He had questioned Professor Snape, Sirius, and even Headmaster Dumbledore in the same way.Gryffindor's traits are particularly evident in him. He is brave and honest, but also impulsive. Those who really thought about him were willing to tolerate his shortcomings, but Kingsley has no such obligation.

There's been enough going on in the Ministry of Magic lately.With Slytherin back, everything seemed to turn out wrong and pile up on him as new problems.

After the retrial, the list of playlists announced by the Ministry of Magic was questioned. Although it was impossible for Slytherin to return to its original status in a short period of time, their successful return had already made him very unacceptable.

Moriarty's plan successfully gave him a bad reputation for attacking Malfoy. Although Malfoy would not sue him at this time, it still had an impact on his political career.

Finally, there was the Merlin Group. According to Harry, this Denis Bartolomé was also causing him trouble, forcing the Ministry of Magic to respond and do something for the children.

But doesn't he care about little wizards in England?If the Ministry of Magic is still capable, how could he not think about the children first!

One trouble after another, Harry Potter, the savior of the British wizarding world, is going to the point where he would rather stand on the side of the enemy than help the heroes of the Ministry of Magic. he?

Kingsley raised his chin and sneered, "Deney is the president of the Merlin Group. He just invested in the reconstruction project of Diagon Alley and is helping us recover the economy." He waved his hand, interrupting Harry's continued questioning : "Before you raise doubts, I have to tell you some good news. Draco Malfoy has passed the retrial and is now a free man."

Harry had already heard about the matter, and when Kingsley mentioned it, he immediately frowned, not feeling the sarcasm in Kingsley's tone, and said, "He shouldn't have been sentenced to 30 years, nor should he be acquitted." .”

Kingsley shrugged. "He passed the Veritaserum test."

"It's impossible!" Harry stared wide-eyed, not daring to believe it.

"It's true." Hermione's voice came from behind, and Harry turned around suddenly, to see his two friends standing at the door, looking at him worriedly.

Ron came over, patted him on the shoulder, and pretended to be relaxed: "I know it's hard for you to believe it now, but Malfoy did it. I heard that he used the memory modification spell on himself, it's really cruel, I really hope His dark wizard fiancé can't do anything about the aftereffects of the spell, so we don't have to fight anymore, lol!"

Ron laughed dryly, and he could tell that he had no confidence in his fantasy.No one would doubt William Schiller's strength. Spells like memory modification might be a little troublesome for him, but it shouldn't be unsolvable.

Under Ron's cover, Harry didn't see Hermione standing opposite Kingsley, looking at him seriously, implying that he restrained his emotions.Whether it was out of friendship with Harry or for the sake of the image of the Minister of Magic, she didn't want to see Kingsley and Harry conflict.

"I can take the Veritaserum test, too." Harry said suddenly, "I can prove that Malfoy..."

"It's too late." Hermione sighed: "It might be useful if you confronted in court, but now that you are being tested, it looks like the Ministry of Magic is making up for it after the fact. The wrong general record, all four consecutive retrials passed , the attack on the Minister of Magic, and the testimony of the Savior of Gryffindor, these events together only give Malfoy a reason to lead the people to think that everything is a conspiracy against Slytherin."

"If you kill him, all problems will be solved." Kingsley said.

Hermione frowned: "I told you, this is impossible."

Kingsley scratched his hair irritably, and turned around in the office: "I don't understand why you always turn to Malfoy!"

"That's not the question." Hermione said seriously, "How can you, as the Minister of Magic, take the lead in breaking the law?"

"But you never..."

"I've never forgotten the rules of the British wizarding world!" Hermione interrupted Kingsley's words loudly.She glanced at Harry and Ron, relieved that neither of them showed much curiosity.

Kingsley, who was still complaining, was instantly speechless.Of course, Hermione did not break the law. When she tried to kill Malfoy, she was facing a fugitive criminal. As an official of the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Department, she had the right to arrest her and use it when the situation was critical. coercive means.In other words, even if her actions were exposed, she still had reasons to excuse herself.But Kingsley is completely different. The Malfoy he faces is a legal citizen of the British magic community.

"Stop talking about killing Malfoy." Hermione said, calmly analyzing: "What we have to do now is to contact Mr. Bartolomé. I'm afraid he doesn't know the current situation of the Ministry of Magic, so he thinks that we are still capable of doing something for Hogwarts."

Harry frowned in disapproval. He always felt that things were not that simple, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he could only keep silent.
