Chapter 288 Harry was caught

"I heard before that Black's target is Harry. So I think it is necessary to tell you about this immediately."

Noticing Fudge looking over, Percy was even more excited and trembling slightly, trying hard to express himself.

"You mean Potter?"

Professor McGonagall heard this and looked in the direction of Percy's finger in shock.

She drew her wand and moved the table out of the way. Then, everyone clearly saw that the Harry trio were huddled together and looking over here.

However, the eyes of the three people at this moment are different.

Neville looked at Professor McGonagall in fear, he felt like he was dead! His grandma will definitely kill him!

Although strictly speaking, he seems to have done nothing...

Ron glared at Percy angrily. He really wanted to curse Percy at this moment!

How could Percy do such a heartless thing? Are we still a family after all? Why are all his brothers so cheating?

And in the end, Harry's eyes were full of pain and hatred. His eyes were glassy, ​​and the conversation he had just heard kept echoing in his mind.

His father was betrayed by his most trusted brother! ?

And that person, that bastard named Black, in order to resurrect his master Voldemort, now he wants to kill him again?

Then give it a try!

Hatred and murderous intent filled Harry's heart, leaving him with no energy left to pay attention to other things.

"Potter! Why are you here? How did you escape from Hogwarts?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry squatting on the ground in disbelief.

She knew that the other party had an invisibility cloak, which was given to him by Albus. But even the invisibility cloak should not be able to hide from the dementors guarding the gate of Hogwarts.

However, Harry did not respond to Professor McGonagall's question. He just squatted there quietly, motionless, as if he didn't hear Professor McGonagall's words.

Professor McGonagall then realized that Harry might have overheard the previous conversation and learned the cause of his parents' death.

The old professor glanced at Harry worriedly, and then turned his attention to Neville, the most timid one.

"Longbottom, tell me."

There was no way. Although Professor McGonagall was very worried about Harry's current state, she had to immediately figure out how Harry escaped from the dementors and sneaked into Hogsmeade.

This meant that there were loopholes in Hogwarts' defense system that even she didn't know about. Before, the reason why Blake was able to sneak into Hogwarts Castle without anyone noticing was probably because he took advantage of this loophole!

Faced with Professor McGonagall's stern questioning, Neville was almost frightened to tears.

He turned to his two good friends for help.

So, what is he saying? Or... what to say?

"Harry accidentally discovered a secret passage that led directly to Hogsmeade."

After finishing using his eyes to condemn Percy's behavior (Percy's attention was always focused on Fudge and never glanced at Ron), Ron bravely stood up.

As the saying goes, the lesser of two powers harm each other. Compared to an 'artifact' like the Marauder's Map, the value of a secret passage is obviously much less.

I have to say that Ron always becomes very smart when he shouldn't be.

"Secret passage!? After you discovered the secret passage, why didn't you report it as soon as possible! Do you know the seriousness of the matter? Do you know..."

Professor McGonagall's hair stood on end with anger.

How come today’s students don’t even have a sense of the overall situation?

Did they forget so quickly that Sirius Black had sneaked outside the Gryffindor common room on the night before Halloween?

"Okay, Minerva. Let's talk about anything later. The first thing now is to quickly investigate the secret passage."

Professor Flitwick interrupted Professor McGonagall's reprimand.

He could understand Professor McGonagall's mood, but now, there were more important things waiting for them to do.

"You're right, Filius, I'm a little confused."

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Now, you three, come back with me immediately!"

With that said, the old professor pulled Harry up and walked quickly outside the bar.

"Sorry, Minister Fudge, I have to go back immediately and tell Professor Dumbledore about this.

And you, Percy Weasley, you're doing great! I will add 20 points to Gryffindor when I get back. "

Professor McGonagall first said hello to Fudge, and then patted Percy's shoulder encouragingly as he passed by.

"It's okay, Professor McGonagall, go ahead."

Fudge quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

After several people filed out, Fudge didn't intend to stay here any longer.

"Rosmerta, I have to leave too. I still have a lot of things to deal with. The Blake matter has already made me very anxious. A large number of dementors died unexpectedly in the past few days. This is really a disaster."

Fudge sighed tiredly. He didn't expect that even if he went out to have a glass of wine and relax, he would encounter such a troublesome thing.

"Walk slowly, Mr. Minister, and pay attention to rest."

Until Fudge walked out of the bar, he didn't look at Percy again.

This made Percy a little disappointed.

But when he thought that he seemed familiar to Minister Fudge this time, Percy puffed up his chest proudly.

He walked back with his head held high and his head held high, taking steps that he would never recognize.

"Penello, did you see? I was just chatting and laughing with Minister Fudge from the Ministry of Magic. Do you know Minister Fudge? Minister Fudge is..."

Percy first glanced at Belle with disdain, then proudly showed off to Penello.

As for some of the content in his words, do they seem to be somewhat different from reality?

joke! Didn't you see the eye contact between him and Secretary Fudge? This is called telepathy! This is called tacit understanding!

Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand!

However, Percy's showoff was only halfway through when he was impatiently interrupted by Penelo.

"Okay, I know who Fudge is."

Under the influence of Bell, Penello didn't like Fudge very much.

"Y-yeah. That's good."

Penello's cold reaction caught Percy off guard.

The script shouldn't be like this!

Shouldn't Penello look at him with admiration, fully realize the huge gap between him and Bell, then quit that bad job, stay away from Bell, and enter the Ministry of Magic with him?

Clearly, Percy was thinking of eating peaches. Putting everything else aside, let's just say that the Ministry of Magic is not something anyone can get into if they want to. Penelo, who was born as a Muggle, did not have the same innate conditions as Percy.

At this time Belle stood up with a smile and relieved Percy.

"It's getting late, so Hermione and I will go back first. Senior sister, you drink slowly."

No matter what, Percy finally solved a problem for Hermione, and Bell still wanted to express his gratitude.
