Chapter 553 Two naughty young people

Early the next morning, in addition to the entertainment-heavy magazine "The Quibbler," other more famous newspapers and magazines published the trial of Cobain Yaxley.

Different from the previous slander against Dumbledore, Harry and others, this time the Ministry of Magic has conclusive evidence. Even if Yaxley is full of talk, he cannot get away with it. He pleads guilty and is the only way out.

The Ministry of Magic's crackdown on the Death Eaters gave the panicked wizards a shot in the arm, allowing them to see the direction of light clearly in the dark, letting them know that the Ministry of Magic would always protect them.

This is the ultimate goal of Yaxley's trial, to restore the Ministry of Magic's shattered image in people's hearts.

According to Ada's original plan, this position should have been reserved for Barty Crouch Jr. Compared to Yaxley, Barty Jr. has a higher status among the Death Eaters and is more valued by Voldemort. Putting him on trial can better boost morale and restore prestige.

On the other hand, Yaxley can also stay in the Ministry of Magic and pass some unidentified information to Voldemort to influence the enemy's judgment.

But there is no way, who made Ada fail to bring back Barty Crouch Jr.! The silver magic hand drained away Barty's power, leaving him dying. Let alone holding on until he was sentenced to contribute to the Ministry of Magic, he wouldn't even be able to come back to London.

The real owner could not come, so this arduous task fell on Yaxley's shoulders. The size and shape were suitable, and it would not be a pity to waste this chess piece.

Yaxley's undercover identity was exposed very early. After the St. Mungo's ambush and counter-ambush, Voldemort must have had a plan in mind.

An undercover agent whose identity is exposed is no longer an undercover agent. Voldemort will treat him as an abandoned son, and the Ministry of Magic will treat him as a tool that can be used. It's just that this tool is a little uncomfortable. It's nothing to regret if you throw away the tool that is not convenient.

Who told Yaxley not to be called Bellatrix Lestrange or Barty Crouch Jr.! Who made him eager to make meritorious deeds and expose his identity?

Although Yaxley is slightly less important among the Death Eaters, fortunately, the Ministry of Magic has suffered frequent defeats before, which has made wizards' expectations for the Ministry of Magic extremely low. Even the slightly lighter Yaxley can Filling the shoes of Barty Crouch Jr.

Take a look at the touting articles in the Daily Prophet. Ada blushed and felt that it was a bit excessive. Ada and the Ministry of Magic have just taken the first step in resisting Voldemort's dark rule.

…

In the splendid hall of the Ministry of Magic, every few seconds, with a soft popping sound, a wizard would suddenly appear from a fireplace on the left side of the hall.

These are all employees who come to work in the ministry early in the morning. When they meet people they know well, they will say hello to each other, and some will gather together to chat quietly.

Most of the chat was dominated by the names Yaxley, Drizzt, and Thicknesse, and occasionally Weasley could be heard.

Among this group of hurried office workers, there were two men who looked out of place. They looked left and right like curious babies, and were very curious about everything in the department.

The two men looked exactly the same, not tall but very strong, with dazzling fiery red hair, and the evil smiles on their faces from time to time were not annoying.

These two people are the shopkeepers of No. 93 Diagon Alley, Fred Weasley and George Weasley. The two brothers wore a set of magenta robes, which didn't match their hair color very well, but it was better than their green dragon leather jackets.

"You two, don't look around, hurry up and follow." It was their father, Arthur Weasley, who shouted to the two brothers.

"Okay, Dad." George pretended to be respectful. Fred, who was standing next to George, reached out and poked him, and said reproachfully: "This is the Ministry of Magic, and we are here to do business. We should call him Director Weasley."

Faced with the two brothers' winks, Mr. Weasley had no choice but to let them go.

Fortunately, the twins were sensible and did not mess around in the ministry under the name of second-generation officials. Instead, they followed their father to the elevator.

Very few people are willing to stay with their leader, especially when they are at work, even if the leader has a good personality, so there are only three of them in the elevator where the Weasleys and his son are, and the others are in other elevators. Crowded inside.

Through the golden gate, Fred glanced at the crowd in the hall reluctantly and said, "It would be great if I could see that idiot Percy. I will definitely punch his big nose."

In the past month, Percy's relationship with his family has eased. At least when he saw Mr. Weasley at the Ministry, he would say hello instead of just walking away like before.

"Dad, which floor is the Department of International Magical Cooperation on?" George asked maliciously, "Does that idiot Percy have a separate office?"

"Don't talk about your brother like that." Mr. Weasley scolded lightly, and then his tone became a little serious, "Percy is a child with pursuits and ideals. He is just confused for a moment."

Fred and George shrugged at first, then glanced at the ceiling of the elevator with the whites of their eyes.

The elevator swayed slightly and began to rise, and the indifferent girl said:

"The seventh floor, the Department of Magical Games and Sports, includes the Quidditch League Headquarters of Britain and Ireland, the Official Gobstone Club, and the Office of Patents for Funny Products."

…

"The fifth floor, the International Magical Cooperation Department, includes the International Magical Trade Standards Association, the International Magical Law Office and the British Chapter of the International Federation of Wizards."

The twins were eager to try. They wanted to rush out of the elevator and rush into the International Magic Cooperation Department to give their idiot brother a good look.

But a son is better than a father. Mr. Weasley knew the character of Fred and George very well. He said: "If you don't want to be beaten when you grow up, just be honest."

The twins lowered their heads in unison and tried their best to control their feet that they wanted to move.

The elevator rattled upward again, and soon reached the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures on the fourth floor, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters on the third floor, and finally came to a shaky stop at the Minister's Office on the first floor.

"We're here. I'll take you two directly to see the Minister." Mr. Weasley walked out of the elevator first, and the twins followed him.

The twins were still looking at the layout in the corridor, and were a little curious about the office without a nameplate.

In front of the minister's office, Weasley stopped to give his final instructions to his naughty son.

"Listen, the products you provide are important to the ministry, but don't talk nonsense." Mr. Weasley warned, "Tell the truth and say what you have to say. Do you understand?"

Seeing the twins nodding solemnly, Mr. Weasley was relieved and turned to knock on the office door.

The door opened, and the legendary female secretary Isabel came out. She said respectfully: "Director, the minister invites you and the two Mr. Weasleys to come in."

Isabel's appearance is not very beautiful, but it makes people feel comfortable, and her every frown and smile is even more charming and exciting. However, Mr. Weasley had "Molly Shiver" in his heart, and Fred and George were also distracted. Neither father nor son could appreciate Isabel's beauty.

"Thank you, Isabelle." After saying that, Mr. Weasley walked into the office with the twins.

In the minister's office, Thicknesse, who was wearing a luxurious robe, walked out of the large desk and greeted him enthusiastically. He said, "Ah, Arthur, you came just in time!"

"Pierce, please allow me to introduce, these are my two sons, Fred, and this is George. They are a little naughty."

In the past, every time Mr. and Mrs. Weasley introduced the twins, the two brothers would play a game of "Guess who I am", but today they were very honest. When Mr. Weasley mentioned the name, the one who stood up would stand up without any trouble. Flower work.

"No, no, Arthur, being naughty shows that they are energetic. We need such energetic young people now." Thicknesse said with a smile. When he smiled, his delicately groomed beard would tremble.

Thicknesse turned around and picked up a document from his desk. He said, "Arthur, you need to handle this matter personally."

Taking the file, Mr. Weasley looked through it and said awkwardly: "Piers, I would like to apply for the use of the Ministry's car to transport Harry Potter to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for school."

"Of course, this little thing is worth asking!"

Thicknesse patted Mr. Weasley's arm and continued, "Okay, you go deal with this matter, and I will deal with these two naughty young people in your family."
