Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

505. Chapter 502 The Ministry of Magic

    On the last night, Percy returned to The Burrow early.

    He looks tired, but extraordinarily sultry.

    “It’s really a mess.”Percy told everyone, "I have been fighting fire for a whole week. People keep sending howler, of course, if you don't open the howler right away, it will explode. The burnt marks were everywhere on my desk, and the best quill became a pile of charcoal. ”

    "Why do they have to send a howler?"Ginny asked.

    She was sitting on the carpet in front of the fire in the living room and mending her "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" with transparent magic tape.

    "This is also used to say, of course, to complain about the safety of the World Cup."Percy said, “They wanted compensation. Mundungus Fletcher made a list of five hundred gold Galleon medical claims, and said that her tent was broken and asked us to compensate him for a tent with twelve bedrooms and a jacuzzi. But I found out the details of his bottom. He was not injured at all, and it was actually a night under the cloak with a stick. ”

    That night, Vampire was attacked in the stadium and the camping area was attacked.

    Many people have been embarrassed, especially the tents near the Crouch home, which is the hardest hit.

    Vampires probably thought Barty Jr.
· Crouch was hidden in a tent, so the area was raided.

    Of course, they didn't find anything, but they made a lot of wizard lose a lot.

    You know, in order to show up at the World Cup, the wizards took a lot of good things in the tent.

    Mrs. Weasley gave them a few drinks and glanced at the old clock on the corner.

    It's a magic clock. If you want to know the time, it's completely useless, but it can provide you with many other situations.

    It has nine slender clock hands, and each needle is engraved with the name of the Weasley family.

    There are no numbers on the clock face, but there is a place where every family member may be.

    There are "home", "school" and "work", as well as "road", "missing", "hospital", "prison" and so on.

    At 12 o'clock on the ordinary clock, it is marked "life is dangerous".

    Although the appearance of this watch is not very good, but the production level is very high, it is a very rare magic item.

    It is the ancestors of the entire Weasley family. No matter how lonely, the pure blood wizard family has some baby at the bottom of the box.

    This magic clock is such a thing, as long as the pointer representing a family member is put up.

    Like The Marauder's Map, it involves "the Magic of name learning" during production and use.

    This is a very cold, very deep branch of magic, only a powerful, knowledgeable wizard can be involved.

    For example, Voldemort, he cast a spell on his name, as long as the area where the name is mentioned is perceived, and destroys the simple defensive magic around, the Death Eaters will rush to the first time, so everyone is very Fear, afraid to mention the name, but use you know who to call Voldemort.

    This is another extreme use of the Magic of name learning, and probably only the really powerful dark wizard will do this.

    All in all, this is too rare, and Ivan hasn't got much from this in the magic book.

    Every time he saw this clock, he had an impulse to open it and look at the internal structure.

    At this moment, the eight needles on the clock point to the position of the "home".

    Mr. Weasley's root is the longest of the nine needles, still pointing to "go to work."

    Mrs. Weasley sighed and said sadly, "Arthur has never needed to work overtime since the day you know who lost. Now they have to ruin him. If he doesn't come back soon, his dinner will be ruined. ”

    "Hey, Dad thinks he has to make up for the mistake he made on the final day, right?"Percy said, "To be honest, he did not ask his department head to speak in public, it is not wise enough…"

    "It's all Skeeter's nasty woman writing a letter, how dare you blame your father!"Mrs. Weasley got angry at once and said loudly.

    "If Dad doesn't say anything, Rita's old guy will comment that the Ministry of Magic's people don't say a word and lose points."Bill, who is playing chess with Ron, said, "Rita Skeeter never writes someone else's good words, remember, she interviewed all of Gringotts' Curse-Breaker and then called me a long-haired ghost!"

    "Your hair is a bit long, dear!"Mrs. Weasley said softly, "You just let me…"

    "No, Mom."

    The rain hit the window of the living room, and Ivan sat on the fire of the hearth to study the ancient magic language in front of him.

    Not far from him, Hermione read "The Standard Book of Spells."

    Charlie is tying a fire-resistant hooded hood, Harry is wiping his Firebolt, the gift that Hermione gave him on his thirteenth birthday, "Handbook of do-it-yourself Broomcare", now open on his feet. side.

    Fred and George sat in a corner over there, holding a quill, his head on a piece of parchment, whispering something, a sneaky sneaky way to let others know.

    "What are you two doing?"Mrs. Weasley asked sternly, staring at the twins with his eyes.

    I did my homework.Fred replied vaguely.

    "Don't be a shame, now it's a holiday."Mrs. Weasley said.

    "Yeah, we are a little dragged."George said.

    "You shouldn't think about what Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is doing?"Mrs. Weasley pointed out sharply.

    "Oh, Mom," Fred looked up at her, his face showing a painful expression. "If the Hogwarts train crashes and crashes tomorrow, both George and I will die. You think of the last we heard from you." One sentence is an unfounded accusation. What is your taste?"

    Everyone laughed, Mrs. Weasley can't help but laugh.

    "Oh, your dad is back!"She looked up at the clock again and suddenly said.

    Mr. Weasley's needle suddenly jumped from "going to work" to "on the road."

    After a clock, it trembled with other needles and stopped at the "home" position.

    At this time, everyone heard Mr. from the kitchen. Weasley's shouts.

    "Come, Arthur!"Mrs. Weasley shouted out, hurried out of the room.

    After a while, Mr. Weasley took his dinner with a tray and walked into the warm living room.

    He was exhausted and looked exhausted to the extreme.

    "Hey, things get more and more out of hand," he said, sitting in an armchair by the fireplace, slouchingly smacking some crumpled broccoli on the plate, while facing Mrs. Weasley said, “Rita Skeeter has been working around the entire week to find out if there is more confusion about the Ministry of Magic. Now she found the missing old Bertha missing, it seems that this is the "Daily Prophet" tomorrow's headline. I told Ludo that he should have sent someone to find her. ”

    A few days ago, the editor of Daily Prophet sent a letter to Ivan.

    The letter said that Rita Skeeter wanted to interview him, but Ivan didn't give her a chance and refused.

    He doesn't want the other person to describe himself as a little monster with bad habits, or a dark wizard.

    This woman has been making rumors to attract the public's attention, and Ivan is still a little farther away from her.

    Of course, if Rita Skeeter provokes himself, Ivan will not be polite, but he knows the other person's handle.
