Chapter 109 Approval of Arrest
For Avery the Mustache, being willing to teach in person is a compassionate feeling, and it is a responsibility within his ability to help a young wizard at Hogwarts mature.
So even though it was working time, he took out a piece of parchment and wrote a reply in a scrawled handwriting, seemingly solemnly.
It took half a minute to write Hermione's reply.
He spent an hour writing the letter home, and at the same time he did not forget to put Hermione's letter to the Ministry of Magic into the envelope.
There is no need to worry about the follow-up. Mustache Avery went to talk to the female official again, and the so-called "lesson" began.
As for the letter sent to the Daily Prophet newspaper office, it naturally had no effect and fell into the sea. It lost its descriptive meaning because it was processed too quickly and simply.It can only be said that if someone dug through the trash can outside the Daily Prophet office that night, they might be able to find fragments of the letter. For many people, this letter is not even worth a disappearing spell.
Hermione, who was far away in Hogwarts, didn't know everything that happened. She received a reply from the Ministry of Magic later in the day. The wording in the letter was straightforward and easy to understand. There was no signature or greeting. It read very simply:
"Do you have any evidence?"
So this is a confusing account.
Hermione had nothing to say, so she wrote another letter and sent it to the Daily Prophet. After waiting day after day, there was still no news, so she vaguely understood that her letter had probably been blocked. , the person who was supposed to receive the letter did not receive it.
There is even a worse situation, that is, the so-called "receiver" does not exist at all.
And Hermione still couldn't understand this.
After the third letter to the Daily Prophet was mailed, Hermione was waiting for officials from the Ministry of Magic.The leader was Mustache Avery, and the professors couldn't stop him.Although Professor McGonagall immediately informed Dumbledore, Dumbledore happened to be away today. The only thing they could do was to be present - but they couldn't do it because the respected Mr. Avery said kindly: "This little The girl is suspected of slandering officials of the Ministry of Magic. She tried to publish a large number of inappropriate remarks in the Daily Prophet. If we did not handle it properly, the reputations of a large number of poor and honest wizards would be greatly harmed - we will She took it to the Ministry of Magic."
One can imagine how much irritation Professor McGonagall received, and her eyes were about to burst into flames: "Don't think that I don't know the nasty things about you people! I will never allow you to bring those things to Huo Gwartz!”
"Professor McGonagall," Mr. Avery said patiently, "I respect you! But you can't violate the rules of the Ministry of Magic, right? We brought the documents approved by Minister Fudge and the seal of his wand. Poke – take a look!”
Professor McGonagall didn't even look. She just blocked the door to the Gryffindor common room and did not allow these people to enter. At the same time, more and more people were watching.
"You are a good professor who cares about his students," Mr. Avery said sincerely, "but you also have to consider the reputation of the students." He raised his voice and said, "Now that little girl named Hermione Granger She is suspected of defamation and we are going to take her away for investigation. There must be a conspiracy by a dark wizard behind this..."
These uncertain words became the introduction, and the little wizards around them came to understand. They said, "No wonder that Granger is so unpopular. It's okay to study. She must have used black magic." "This is not surprising, she likes to blame others. , then no one paid attention to her, so she changed her partner"...
"Go back!" Professor McGonagall was shaking with anger. She turned around and yelled at the young wizards who were watching: "This has nothing to do with you!"
"Don't yell at these lovely students," Mr. Avery said tactfully: "Students have the right to know something about their classmates. Of course I didn't mean to say that girl was a criminal. I meant if-if anyone The little wizard is a criminal - we will also protect our privacy, but... Professor, you seem..."
Professor McGonagall's nostrils dilated greatly, and she grew angrier and more anxious - where were the others?Where's Dumbledore?
"What are you doing here?" A greasier and smoother voice came from outside the crowd. Hearing the tone of the voice, the students immediately separated a path to let Professor Snape come over.
"Severus -" As soon as he saw Snape, Avery opened his arms affectionately and twitched his mustache: "My brother often talks about you - Potions Master, serving at Hogwarts. …”
However, Snape just stared at him with blank eyes, controlled the distance between the two, and said coldly: "I'm asking... what are you doing here."
Avery put down his arms and asked nonchalantly: "Do you mean the same thing as the respected Professor McGonagall? I'm very sorry..."
"No need to say any more." While the two professors were arguing, the door to the common room opened. Hermione's face was pale, but she walked out alone and said to Avery: "I'm going with you. , don’t embarrass the professor.”
Before Professor McGonagall could say anything, Snape became angry. He walked quickly in front of Hermione, stood between Avery and Hermione, and said sarcastically in the tone of criticizing Gryffindor in class: " Look, look - like a hero, right? Miss Granger - maybe I have to call you Professor Granger? You want to speak for us? I think you don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all," sneered , Snape continued: "Was it the courage Gryffindor gave you to come out like this? You are as reckless and reckless as ever! Now! Immediately! Go back."
Hermione tried not to look at Snape and McGonagall. She looked at Avery with unyielding eyes, meeting the Ministry of Magic official's nonchalant eyes.
"Okay, Severus," Avery said with a smile, and several Aurors who were traveling with him also gathered around: "Don't do anything irrational. Even if you are a professor at Hogwarts, you have to Respect the student’s will—Okay, I’ll take her away now.”
Some people may ask, where is DeWitt?DeWitt is hatching eggs, where are the others?Others couldn't stop Hermione, and the twins who could stop her weren't in the lounge. Harry and Ron had nothing to do except talk and try to persuade her, and the others seemed to be just having fun.So just like that, Hermione was taken away.
After a brief conversation between the two professors at the door of the lounge, they stopped for a moment to settle the students who had not dispersed. They reached a worried agreement to contact Dumbledore as soon as possible, and at the same time find someone familiar to follow them to the Ministry of Magic to take care of them. Come on Hermione, who doesn't have a few friends who work at the Ministry of Magic?
But from another perspective, a trip to the Ministry of Magic can be considered a good thing to gain a lot of experience.
