Chapter 228 The Small Circle Almost Got Wrong
Unlike the original novel, Minister Fudge, who had seen the real resurrection of the Dark Lord, was already feeling a little paranoid and he really didn't dare to say anything too confident.
With the publicity, Fudge has become the biggest winner of this event. Although Yang Tian's nine-member team has been awarded medals, it seems that they have won, but in fact they are just some empty names. Of course, it is not to say that these reputations are not important, but it also depends on the future development to see whether they can match the reputations as always.
But Fudge was different. After this battle, his reputation could be immediately converted into political capital. He even dared to say that his position as Minister of Magic was now as secure as a rock.
But everything has two sides. He gained prestige and his position was secure, but at the same time, risks also followed.
If there was any reversal in the matter of arresting Voldemort's soul, his position would be in jeopardy. In other words, if Yang Tian was in a bad mood one day and really released Voldemort, the first one to suffer would be this minister. Inadvertently, Minister Fudge had been tied to Yang Tian's chariot, although he himself did not realize it...
Seeing that everyone watching the ceremony stopped talking, Fudge finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gestured to Yang Tian with satisfaction, and Yang Tian immediately took Voldemort's soul back to the soul prison...
"We have finished discussing the heavy topic. Now, I declare," Fudge said with a brilliant smile, "the dinner after the commendation meeting has officially begun. I hope you all will enjoy your meal and have fun."
The short and powerful speech finally caused the crowd to burst into cheers again...
Buffet parties are not for eating, but for socializing. The nine-member group naturally became the object of everyone's pursuit. After dealing with waves of people, the friends finally had some time to be alone with their family.
Coincidentally, everyone in the study group brought their families into this small circle and got to know each other.
"Hi, you must be Hermione Granger, right? And you, the Patil sisters, you are the elder sister Parvati? Then you must be the younger sister Padma? And you, Zhang Qiu, right? Chinese? My husband is also Chinese!" Sophie Foley still maintained her outgoing and friendly demeanor, and almost instantly integrated into the children's table: "I often hear Yang Tian mention you little guys! Especially when he was injured and recuperating last time, he talked about it every day, saying that he was happiest when he was studying and researching magic with you all."
The friends were all moved when they heard this. Penelope, who was also outgoing, asked directly, "Auntie, you called everyone but me. I'm so sad."
"How could that be? Penelope gave a wonderful speech as the 'acting' prefect on the first day of school. My son remembered it for a long time." Sophie's devilish nature emerged and she fought back.
"Ah?" Penelope was stunned. She looked at Yang Tian in confusion, her face flushed. Is this guy so close to his mother? Why does he tell her everything? The friends burst into laughter when they recalled the scene at that time.
Yang Tian was also speechless. His mother was still like this, telling everything to others. He had just arrived at Hogwarts and was completely in the dark. As a result, Zhang Qiu and Penelope looked at him differently. Especially since he was born in a nightmare family and was sensitive, he naturally complained to his mother when writing a letter. Now, everything has been revealed...
"You must be Yang Tian, I am Penelope's father, Ken Clearwater..." Penelope's father also greeted Yang Tian in a friendly manner. Penelope had told everyone that her father was a wizard and her mother was a Muggle. Therefore, her mother was not present today.
Just when everyone was talking excitedly, old lady Longbottom, who had already comforted Neville, came over with a smile on her face: "Hi, everyone is here? Neville can make today's progress, I really want to thank everyone, especially you, Yang Tian, you have helped him a lot. I often hear Neville mention it."
Feeling the kindness of old lady Longbottom for the first time, Yang Tian was very pleased and hurried to chat with the old lady. It seemed that the negative impact brought by the killing bead was completely eliminated. However, the two of them tacitly did not mention any topics related to the previous misunderstanding, and they could laugh it off and forget their grudges.
Seeing this, Yang Tian's grandmother Rosalind finally smiled with relief. After all, one was her best friend, and the other was her good grandson; she would not be embarrassed about how to choose, but she really didn't want to lose either of them...
Next, Astoria took her father and sister's hands and joined in happily. Although she was also very happy to meet so many new brothers and sisters, Astoria's favorite thing to do was still to stick to Yang Tian. Before, after Yang Tian was seriously injured by a conspiracy, he was sent back to the Yang family in China to recuperate. The little girl also suffered for a while because no one treated her. Fortunately, Yang Tian recovered quickly after his injury and quickly resumed the treatment of Astoria, which saved the little girl from the sea of suffering. During this period, the weekly treatment in the principal's office was resumed. It would be strange if this little girl didn't stick to Yang Tian...
Pansy and her father Hector Parkinson also came. Compared with before, the head of the Parkinson family was more amiable and less aggressive. Yang Tian was not a person who favored one over the other. The conversation went very happily, especially when Grandpa Barnett joined the chat, the atmosphere became more harmonious...
The Weasley brothers also joined the chat with their parents, and Ron and Harry came with them. Faced with Arthur and Molly's usual enthusiasm, the friends were somewhat flattered, but they still had a good impression of the couple. What was particularly surprising was that Arthur seemed to get along well with Yang Tian's father Yang Wen, and they soon chatted together. Ron and Harry were still a little absent-minded, especially Harry, who was often silent, and no one knew what he was thinking...
Seeing more and more people gathered around Yang Tian, Draco also joined in with his parents and little followers. Compared with the time when he first joined the study group, Draco was obviously much more natural now; less flattering, more sincere; but Lucius and Narcissa still maintained their aristocratic etiquette, chatting and laughing; seemingly polite, but in fact, keeping people at a distance...
Perhaps the originally pure chat environment was suddenly mixed with too many inexplicable factors. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but before I knew it, the members of the Order of the Phoenix, led by Augusta Longbottom and the Weasleys, and the pure-blood conservatives, led by the Malfoys and Hector, began to be clearly divided again, and their respective topics gradually became more acute. It must be said that the old guys are still so sharp...
Yang Tian frowned when he saw this. He walked in front of the group of friends with an expressionless face, and with a few random gestures, everyone gathered around. Yang Tian started new topics from time to time, and soon, the friends who had been led astray by their parents were immersed in them and gradually regained their joy...
The people who were on the verge of a fight suddenly felt that the argument just now was a bit boring. Why did it feel like no one was going to inherit their original insistence?
Until this moment, Cedric, Angelina and Elena also came over with their families. The war without gunpowder finally ended and the scene became lively...
