Chapter 781 The stolen wand (page 12)
The next morning, while still sleeping, Kyle was woken up by a burst of noisy discussion.
He opened his eyes, listened carefully, and found that there was no panic in the voice. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room with a yawn.
The sound came from downstairs, and you knew it was Harry and Ron.
"A new minister was elected in just one night."
At the dinner table, Ron looked at the latest "Daily Prophet" delivered this morning and said: "This is probably the fastest move the Ministry of Magic has ever taken."
"How can this kind of thing be so slow?" Hermione glanced at him angrily, "Is it possible that the Ministry of Magic will hold another voting event? How much time will be wasted? What if we encounter Death Eaters again during this period? What to do about the attack.”
"I know, I'm just saying it." Ron muttered, "But do any of you know who this new minister is?
"Amelia Bones... I remember Hufflepuff also had a Bones. What was her name?"
"Susan Bones," Harry and Hermione said almost simultaneously.
"How do you know so clearly?" Ron glanced at them doubtfully.
"Because of Slughorn." Harry explained: "When school started last year, he invited Susan Bones to have lunch with him in the carriage."
"I also saw her at the dinner party after school." Hermione said, "But I only saw her twice, and she didn't go there again after that."
"I think that was the time when Ms. Bones was attacked by Death Eaters and had to be sent to St. Mungo's.
"That's how he is. He likes to make friends with students from powerful families, but once they lose their power, his attitude will immediately become cold."
Harry curled his lips, not hiding his disdain for Slughorn.
"Haha!" Ron suddenly laughed, "I guess Slughorn must be regretting it now. Not only did Ms. Bones recover, but she also became the Minister of Magic."
"Yeah, Slughorn must be extremely regretful." As if he thought of something, Harry couldn't help laughing.
"I guess he'll be eager to invite Susan to his dinner party again when school starts."
"But it doesn't matter whether Susan will go or not." Hermione also laughed, "I remember that Susan didn't like to attend those dinner parties. Coupled with what happened before, Professor Slughorn may have made a miscalculation. "
While several people were talking, Kyle happened to come down from upstairs and yawned greatly.
"Sorry." Hermione turned around and said, "Did we talk too loudly and disturb you?"
"It's okay." Kyle waved his hand and said, "It's almost noon, just in time for lunch... What are you talking about?"
"The Ministry of Magic has elected a new Minister." Ron waved the newspaper in his hand.
"Is that Amelia Bones?" Kyle asked.
"How do you know?" Ron was a little surprised...Kyle obviously hadn't read the newspaper.
"Because I saw Professor Dumbledore looking for her last night." Kyle said casually: "And in the Ministry of Magic, she is the only most suitable candidate."
"Does even Professor Dumbledore think so?" Ron smacked his lips, "No wonder she was able to take over Fudge's position so quickly. I mean, as long as Dumbledore supports it, others will definitely not object. Yes, isn’t it?”
"I think it's more because of Ms. Bones herself." Harry said: "If she is not capable, Professor Dumbledore will not support her."
He had asked Sirius countless times about the retrial that day, and naturally knew about Amelia Bones's attitude and her help to Sirius.
Because of this incident, Harry instinctively had a crush on Amelia Bones and supported her unconditionally as the new minister.
"Maybe you're right." Ron shrugged and didn't argue. "So what kind of person is this new minister? Compared with Fudge."
"I don't know about the position of minister." Kyle thought for a moment and said: "But when she served as the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, she was always known for her fairness and resoluteness. As long as she can do something today, she will never delay it. till tomorrow."
"Well, in this regard, she is much better than Fudge." Ron shrugged, "Everyone knows Fudge's indecisive character, right?"
"Who knows..." Kyle said.
Position can change a person. Take Fudge for example. When he served in the Disaster Division, he also did very well and had many outstanding achievements.
But that didn't stop him from slowly becoming the power-obsessed minister that people know today.
After chatting for a while, Kyle looked up and took a look at his surroundings.
"Are you three the only ones here? Where are the others?"
"Sirius and Mr. Weasley went to the Ministry of Magic." Harry said, "Because there were a lot of things to deal with, he was temporarily brought in to help.
"And Mrs. Weasley, she's gone to St. Mungo's."
"Is it because of Percy?" Kyle asked, and took the cup of black tea handed over by the house elf Kreacher.
"Thank you."
"Master Kyle, please take your time, lunch will be ready later." After saying that, Kreacher bowed and left.
"It's incredible." Ron couldn't help but said: "That house elf has never been so friendly to us."
"That's because you weren't nice to him," Hermione said.
"I don't think so." Ron shook his head, "Your attitude towards him is good enough, but hasn't he ever been polite to you?
I even heard him calling you mud from behind... In short, you must know what I want to say. "
Hermione opened her mouth but said nothing.
Because this is all true. Kreacher didn't just call her a Mudblood behind her back. Even if he did it in front of her sometimes, he would not care. He said all kinds of unpleasant things, unless it was when Sirius or Kyle were around. , he would be a little more restrained.
So even if Hermione wanted to refute Ron, she couldn't find a suitable reason. She could only move her eyes to Kyle, pretending that she didn't hear anything, and changed the topic at the same time:
"Not all because of Percy...mostly because of the other guy."
"Another person?" Kyle frowned and said, "Could it be that there is someone in the Order of the Phoenix..."
"No, no, you misunderstood." Hermione guessed what Kyle was thinking, and shook her head repeatedly: "It's not the Order of the Phoenix, it's someone else, but I don't know who it is, and they didn't tell them before they set off."
Kyle nodded. After knowing that he was not from the Order of the Phoenix, he didn't care.
Half an hour later, Fred and George also yawned and walked downstairs. Like Kyle, they had just woken up after being busy until dawn yesterday.
"Really, they were chattering non-stop early in the morning." Fred rubbed his eyes and said, "Now I kind of understand how my mother felt during the holidays."
