As the owl delivered the Daily Prophet, the news that Barty Crouch was killed by Rolf quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.
The students all held newspapers in their hands, eager to know what happened last night.
The same was true for the Gryffindor students, but when Harry and Ron came to the auditorium, the little lions all raised their heads and focused on them.
Harry and Ron didn't need to ask to know why everyone looked at them as if they were looking at magic trash.
Gryffindor House lost two hundred points last night... both of them did it!
In just one night, Harry and Ron destroyed all Gryffindor's hopes of winning the House Cup this school year.
After doing such a crazy thing, let alone making eye contact, even if they were bullied by other students and ate their leftovers, Harry and Ron felt that everyone was a high-quality group.
The two of them sat down at the dining table, and George gloated:
"I've warned you before that the inspections at night have been very strict recently, and it's easy to get caught wandering at night, but you two didn't listen, so now you have to try it yourself."
"Two hundred points." Fred also shook his head and said:
"I've accumulated it over the years, but I'm afraid I haven't deducted so many points. You two did so much in one night. It's really impressive."
What impressed the twins the most was that for the past four years, Harry and Ron had done something like this every year, helping Gryffindor House go straight to the bottom... It was simply terrible self-discipline.
It can only be said that the two of them were able to reach the fourth grade safely without being thrown into the Black Lake in the middle of the night by Gryffindor students to feed the mermaids... all thanks to the rule of law.
"Who knew Professor Moody's magic eye could see through the invisibility cloak?" Harry sighed.
"Although we have deducted points, we saw something incredible last night."
Ron was like the Riddler, speaking in a mysterious tone:
"If I tell you, you will definitely be surprised!"
As expected, these words attracted the attention of other students, and everyone focused on Ron, which gave him a great sense of satisfaction.
After returning home last night, Ron tossed and turned, eager to use the sensational event he witnessed as something to show off to other students.
As if he knew the inside story, he coughed and said:
"Last night in the middle of the night, Durmstrang's magic ship caught fire...Rolf was involved!"
Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you shocked?
Ron looked at the other students, only to find that everyone was looking at him expressionlessly, as if they were looking at a fool.
"That's it?" George rolled his eyes, "What did I think it was? We already knew it."
"Already known?" Ron shouted: "This is impossible!"
"Read more newspapers, Ron." Fred waved the "Daily Prophet" in his hand and said, "You really eat shit, and you can't even keep up with the hot ones."
"..."
…
…
After breakfast, the students walked towards their classrooms in small groups.
Rolf, Shirley and Hermione also left the auditorium and walked up a remote staircase while discussing the report about Death Eaters.
In the article, he described in gorgeous terms how the Death Eaters in Azkaban escaped from prison en masse, how Minister Fudge discovered this, and gave wise and powerful command to the Aurors to fight against the Death Eaters.
Among them, Minister Fudge himself took the lead and did not avoid the curse. He killed seven in and out of the Death Eaters, suffered more than ten wounds on his body, and successfully led the Aurors to annihilate all the Death Eaters.
After reading the whole article, Luo Fe felt that it was less like news and more like a fantasy novel. Fudge was not Fudge, but... Gandalf.
Regarding such an outrageous article, Rove could only comment: "This news was published in Luna's Quibbler magazine."
"Are the corpses of those Death Eaters all Aurors who took Polyjuice Potion?" Shirley asked.
"That's about it." Rolf sighed softly: "There may also be some ordinary wizards or Muggles captured by Death Eaters."
If a wizard dies before the effect of Polyjuice Potion wears off, he will remain in his transformed form and will not return to his original state... This is also a common method of cheating death.
It’s just a pity for those innocent people!
"Why doesn't Minister Fudge want to believe what you and Professor Dumbledore said?" Hermione frowned and said:
"How could you two lie to him?"
"Hermione, it's not that Fudge doesn't believe it, it's that he can't believe it." Rolf looked at the girl and patiently explained:
"In the past two years, there have been incidents such as Peter Pettigrew's escape, the Quidditch World Cup attack and Barty Crouch's prison escape.
One thing after another, Fudge's prestige has long been exhausted, and everyone's dissatisfaction with him has almost reached a peak."
"At this juncture, if terrible news like a mass escape of Death Eaters breaks out again, how long do you think he can be a minister without being kicked out?"
"So, not only can Fudge not trust Dumbledore and I, but he also wants to do the opposite and use those corpses to concoct articles about Aurors annihilating Death Eaters to enhance his own prestige."
"But sooner or later the truth will come out!" Shirley said.
"So Fudge is betting that everything we say is false." Rove shrugged: "Even if it is true, it is better for him to remain minister for a while before the truth comes out than to step down now.
"
"But it is the wizarding world that suffers." Hermione raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth in anger: "How could Fudge do this!"
"Politicians are like this. In the face of their own interests, they can do anything." Rove said: "Even if it is treason and collaboration with the enemy."
Shirley was thoughtful, while Hermione pursed her lips and snorted:
"If one day I become the Minister of Magic, I will definitely not be like this. Instead, I will wholeheartedly think about the magical world."
Rolf gave Hermione a thumbs up and praised:
"This is a beautiful statement. I hope you can maintain your original intention and be a good minister for the people in the future - Miss Minister Granger."
"Don't scream, let others hear you!" Hermione looked around, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said:
"I'm just saying casually, I can't really become the Minister of Magic."
"It's possible together." Luo Fu encouraged.
"That's right." Shirley also smiled and said, "Rolf and I can help you."
"Hermione, when I come through your back door, please don't turn your back on me." Rolf joked.
"No!" Hermione also waved her hand with a smile:
"When I become the Minister of Magic, there will be no need to say that - Shirley - Senior Advisor to the Minister and Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement - Rove -"
Hermione blinked and said slyly: "The box will be confiscated and the person will be sent to Azkaban."
The girl ran away after saying that, but was grabbed by the back of the collar, pulled back to where she was, and then scratched her neck, making her giggle.
The three of them were chasing each other in the stairwell, playing happily. When the bell rang, they suddenly remembered that there were classes in the morning and several people were already late!
They hurriedly ran towards the classroom. When they were about to separate at the stairs, Shirley asked in a low voice: "Rolf, do you need to contact Margery?"
"Well, let Margaery watch Rita Skeeter write an article exposing the truth about Death Eaters." Rolf explained:
"But don't publish the article yet. We don't have evidence to prove that those Death Eaters are still alive. We need to take photos."
"Let Fudge jump." The young man said with a slight smile: "Don't look at how happy he is now, he will make a list sooner or later in the future."
