"Hermione, I have my own reasons too. How can I shirk away from work matters?"
"Hermione, look, this is the Russian food I brought you. I promise you, it's very delicious-"
Hermione finally raised her head, looked at Tom who was chattering away, and said angrily: "Everyone has different tastes, how can you guarantee that I like to eat the dishes you bring?"
"Try it." Tom took out the packed stainless steel lunch box as if offering a treasure.
Hermione looked at the mediocre stainless steel lunch box in Tom's hand and shook her head. She didn't think there could be anything delicious in it. But after all, it was brought back by Tom after all his hard work, and she didn't really eat much for lunch.
, so she decided to give Tom a try and give it a try.
She opened the lunch box and found that the lunch box was divided into upper and lower layers by a baffle. The upper layer was divided into two small partitions. One partition contained bread, the other partition contained barbecue cut into small pieces, and the lower layer contained a portion.
A soup that looks like leftover rice chowder.
The taste was average, but the aroma wafted out after heating it. Hermione tasted it and found that the taste was unexpectedly good. The sour taste was very appetizing, and she ate the entire box of food in one go.
.
"It tastes pretty good." Perhaps because of the delicious food, Hermione's mood improved a lot.
She put the lunch box away, took a tissue and wiped her mouth. After putting it away, she pushed a roll of parchment to Tom, "You take the time to take a look at this part of the paper I wrote and see if there is anything that can be improved.
place."
Tom smiled and took the paper Hermione had just written in his hands and started reading.
The parchment used to write the paper was slightly yellow, and it was covered with Hermione's beautiful handwriting, which seemed to have the body temperature of a girl. The soft winter sunlight shined through the window and shone on the table, casting a golden light. Hermione
Sitting opposite Tom, the afternoon time and sumptuous meal made the girl a little lazy. She lay half-ly on the seat lazily, holding a book in her hand. But her mind was obviously not on the book.
. From time to time, she would raise her head to peek at the boy opposite, then her cheeks would turn slightly red, and she would quickly look away. But after the red color on her face faded, she could not help but glance at the boy who was reading the paper seriously.
The good times passed by bit by bit, and 1994 arrived.
As the New Year approaches, several major events occur in both the magical and non-magical worlds. Not to mention the non-magical world, the election of the Prime Minister is the biggest news.
As for the wizarding world, the newly appointed Minister Bones issued the most severe arrest warrant for Peter Pettigrew. This wretched wizard was wanted by the Ministry of Magic with a reward of 30,000 gold galleons, regardless of his life or death. And she also allowed the Arrogant who hunted Peter.
Luo uses the Unforgivable Curse, and he can also directly use the Dementor's Kiss when he sees Peter's dementors.
In addition to the wanted order, the Ministry of Magic also announced two major events. The first is that preparations for the new Quidditch World Cup have officially begun, and the second is that Minister Bones will launch a mission codenamed "Tornado."
"A large-scale search operation with the intention of completely eradicating the dark magic items in Knockturn Alley - the confidentiality of this operation was quite good. Bones summoned all Aurors and strikers without any warning and directly raided Knockturn Alley.
Back in the alley, no news was leaked from the beginning to the end of the operation.
Tom also got involved in this operation. But his participation was purely coincidental.
That was the day before the "Tornado" was launched. That day, Bones personally went to Azkaban with her cronies, hoping to recruit some dementors to help her control the dark wizard in Knockturn Alley.
Bones is not the first Minister of Magic to crack down on Knockturn Alley. Before her, the Ministry of Magic had inspected Knockturn Alley several times, and the latest raid was planned by Cornelius Fudge. But these inspections were Little effect was achieved.
Bones was very clear about the reason for the limited success: Knockturn Alley has a deep collusion with some officials of the Ministry of Magic, especially those pure-blood families. Behind almost all the shops in Knockturn Alley is a company that has been passed down for hundreds of years. A pure-blood family. With such intricate connections to protect them, it’s a wonder if the search can be effective.
Bones is ambitious. She wants to really clean up a few cancers, instead of just catching a few hawkers like her predecessors. In fact, every Minister of Magic has a unique ambition buried in his heart, even Fudge This guy is no exception. The person in charge of the search he held was Arthur Weasley.
The effect of this decision was surprisingly good. Fudge successfully took advantage of the conflict between the Weasley family and the Malfoy family and gave Lucius eye drops. Under Arthur's aggressive offensive, Lucius had no choice but to run to the side of the mountain in embarrassment. Go back to the alley to deal with the dark magic items in your home.
Minister Bones has his mind set on the Dementors this time.
Introducing external forces is often a shortcut to solving problems. Pure-blood families have no connection with dark creatures like dementors. What's even better is that the positions of dementors and the Ministry of Magic are similar - the captured prisoners are to be Being thrown into Azkaban, this is good news for the Dementors.
Bones personally rushed to Azkaban to negotiate with the Dementors. Coincidentally, Tom was also in Azkaban at the time. He wanted to transfer a group of Dementors to his White Dolphin Prison.
This is something he promised before.
Hearing that the king was taking them to the Paradise, all the Dementors were excited, and they gathered around the king. They begged the king to take them to the Paradise and not leave them in the bitter cold place of Azkaban.
Whether on patrol or not, dementors came to meet their king. So when Bones entered Azkaban, she was surprised to find the dementors that had been wandering outside Azkaban Castle. They were all gone. The whole Azkaban seemed empty, as if it had become an undefended zone.
She was secretly on guard, holding her wand tightly in her hand under her robe. She tensed her nerves, walked through the main entrance of Azkaban, and walked into the castle.
Dementors were not difficult to find, and they were right to follow the direction where the temperature dropped. Bones quickly found the dementors in Azkaban. But when she got closer, she saw something that made her An unforgettable scene: a man wearing a crown of bones is surrounded by dementors.
The dementors surged like a tide, but the masked man stood there like a rock in the tide, unmoving. And those dementors had no intention of harming him, they were like humble courtiers. , surrender before the king.
