People showed unimaginable attention to this matter, and the Ministry of Magic was under a lot of pressure.
After the latest issue of the Hogwarts Wizarding Newsletter, they repeatedly explained that no dementors were out of control at all.
But they couldn't explain why two dementors came to the Muggle community?
Although they said that Harry was spreading rumors, Rita had already changed the focus of her attack and turned this matter into a conspiracy theory angle.
This is almost the same as the actual situation. The executives of the Ministry of Magic control the dementors to attack the little wizard, which is more terrible than the loss of control of the dementors themselves.
She kept putting forward new ideas and conjectures, and the Ministry of Magic had to explain passively, but was still reluctant to start self-examination.
Therefore, no one is willing to believe them at all, and everyone has demanded that the management of the dementors in Azkaban be strengthened. Only results.
This is the first time that subscriptions to the Hogwarts Journal of Magic have increased since Ivan and the others were suppressed by Fudge.
Rita lived up to expectations, resumed her activities, and started a series of reports centered on this incident.In just one week, she had unearthed many scandals in the Ministry of Magic. These were all the materials she had collected before, and voices gradually appeared in the magic world to let the incompetent Fudge step down.
Annoyed and furious, Fudge asked the Legal Enforcement Department to send a letter to the "Hogwarts Magic News", asking them to stop spreading these rumors against the Ministry of Magic and himself. After reading the letter brought to him by Lupine , Ivan threw it directly into the trash can.
If Voldemort is involved, Fudge may be able to rely on the relevant provisions of the War Powers Act and the powers of the Minister of Magic to control public opinion and restrict the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" from disseminating news about Voldemort.
But they didn't mention Voldemort at all now, and Fudge had no right to stop them from talking about other things.
The right to free speech cannot be violated, especially if they are talking about the darkness of the Ministry of Magic and the incompetence of Fudge himself, there are many people who love to watch this.
Rita seized on this point, and they accepted everything, whether it was true or not.
Everyone will think these things are true, if you say it is false, then show proof.
But Fudge couldn't prove it at all, and there was no way to prove it.
In this way, two days before Harry's trial, Ivan received another letter from the Ministry of Magic.
In the letter, the Ministry of Magic accused him of spreading rumors that were unfavorable to the stability of the magic world, and asked him to go to the Wizengamot for questioning as the head of the "Hogwarts Wizardry News". The trial time happened to be the same day as Harry. .
If the allegations are true, they will take action to seal the "Hogwarts Wizardry".
This is expected, and Ivan is not worried at all.
He and Hermione have carefully reviewed every report and checked strictly. Whether it is Harry being attacked by a dementor or what Rita reported later, they are all things that actually happened.
After being retouched by Rita and achieving the desired effect, Fudge couldn't say anything...
Aiwen has prepared a thick stack of materials, and if necessary, he can debate with the other party item by item.
Harry felt somewhat relieved that Ivan could accompany him to the Ministry of Magic for trial.
He's been so busy with his broomstick these days that he's forgotten about it.
But once he was free, terrible memories emerged little by little.
He started to have nightmares again, in which he saw a long corridor and locked doors, causing the scars to sting...
He didn't dare tell anyone about it, he didn't want it to be known that there was a new connection between himself and Voldemort.
Although Ivan explained to him, it still made Harry feel like a terrible monster.
While plagued by nightmares, he kept wondering what would he do if he was fired?
Fear pierced his heart like countless sharp needles, and the thought was so terrible that he didn't even dare to say it out loud.
Sometimes, he couldn't help imagining: a faceless Ministry of Magic official appeared in front of him, snapped his wand in two, and ordered him to go back to the Dursleys' house, which he would never do Yes, he had made up his mind on that point, and he was going to live with Sirius here in Grimmauld Place.
Chapter 879
Compared to Harry's worries, Ivan was very at ease.
Because of the recent publicity of "Hogwarts Ministry of Magic", Harry's upcoming trial has attracted the attention of the entire wizarding world. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Fudge to convict Harry indiscriminately, let alone Dumbledore is here.
"We're leaving at six o'clock tomorrow morning!" said Mrs. Weasley at dinner on Wednesday night. "Irwin, Harry, I've ironed your best clothes, and you can put them on tomorrow morning. Especially It's you, Harry, and I hope you wash your hair again tonight, a good first impression does wonders."
Ivan's interrogation and Harry's interrogation will be tomorrow. Originally, Mrs. Weasley would not let them go, but after this incident was spread and even Ivan received a letter from the Ministry of Magic asking for an inquiry, everyone can Go with them.
Aiwen even asked Rita to go with him and conduct a full interview on the trial process. I don't know if Fudge will agree.
"How do we get there?" Harry asked, putting down the ribs he was eating.
"Arthur takes you with him when he goes to work," said Mrs Weasley, turning her voice sternly, "Fred, George, this is not a joke, you two don't mess with your father tomorrow, let alone don't want……"
"We know, Mom!" said Fred. "We won't do anything tomorrow."
"Don't worry, we have been to Dad's office many times and know the rules of the Ministry of Magic." George said.
The guarantee of the two of them is very worrying, and Aiwen knows that the two of them plan to visit Percy's office...
They had been suffocating about Percy's falling out with the family, hoping that there would be no big trouble.
"You can stay in my office tomorrow. I'm not sure if the Ministry will allow you to watch the trial of Ivan and Harry. Normally, it should be fine..." Mr. Weasley said, "but the rumors are very tight now , I didn’t get any news.”
Since Fudge and Dumbledore broke up, he was almost pushed out to the margins in the ministry, and life was very difficult.
But it made no difference, Mr. Weasley was not taken seriously in the department.
As long as he does his job well, Fudge can't do anything to him, and he can't drive him home.
Even if it was a job switch, the entire Ministry of Magic couldn't find a worse position than Mr. Weasley's.
At five o'clock the next morning, Ivan got out of bed.
He found Harry awake, sitting there motionless, as if worrying about his impending trial.
"Good morning, Harry!" Ivan whispered, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine," said Harry, his voice low.
"Don't worry, we have solid evidence, and in a few hours, you'll be fine!"
"I know!" Harry nodded numbly again, as if he had just realized, "Good morning, Ivan!"
He jumped out of bed and put on his glasses.
Mrs. Weasley had left the freshly laundered jeans and T-shirt at the foot of his bed, and he fumbled into them.
Ivan also got up to get dressed, and he saw Ron lying on his back with his limbs stretched out, his mouth wide open, and he was sleeping soundly.
After Harry got dressed, he went over and shook him to wake him up.
"Is it time already?" said Ron, turning over again and getting up with difficulty, staggering.
"It's five o'clock now, and there is still one hour before departure." Ai Wen said, looking at his watch.
"Then I'll lie down for a while, and I'll have time to get up at 05:30, so I don't have to go so early." Ron fell heavily again.
Ivan and Harry looked at each other and left the room. When they came to the kitchen, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Lupine and Tonks were all sitting there. They were all dressed neatly. Mrs. Weasley was putting The freshly prepared breakfast was brought out.
"You two woke up so early, come here and have breakfast!" she said as she drew her wand and hurried to the stove.
"Morning, morning, good morning, Ivan, Harry!" Tonks yawned and said, this morning her hair was blond and curly, "how, did you sleep well?"
"Fine," said Harry, who actually stayed up all night thinking about it.
"You don't seem to be asleep?" Ivan asked, sitting next to Lupine.
"Yeah, I haven't slept all night," she said, and yawned again, trembling all over. "Come and sit down, Harry."
She pulled out a chair, only to topple the one next to it.
"What would you like to eat?" asked Mrs. Weasley loudly. "Porridge? Muffins? Smoked fish? Ham and eggs? Bread?"
"I'll just have some bread, thanks," said Harry.
"I want ham and eggs, and some bread by the way." Alvin's appetite was not affected at all.
Lupine glanced at them, then said to Tonks, "What did you say about Scrimgeour?"
"Oh, yes, that's right, we need to be more careful, he started asking me and Kingsley some weird questions yesterday!" Tonks said, "Kingsley thinks he found something, Scrimgeour A very powerful Auror."
In the past war years when the Ministry of Magic fought against Voldemort in an all-round way, Scrimgeour was the Auror second only to Moody, and his strength was very strong.
He is now the director of the Auror office, and Ivan met him at the Quidditch World Cup before.
"It does need to be noted that he and Fudge are not on the same side, but he will not agree with us." Lupine continued.
They didn't ask Ivan and Harry to join the conversation, and the two ate their breakfast in silence.
As for the matter of going to the Ministry of Magic for trial, Lupine was not going to accompany them.
His identity as a werewolf is very sensitive, and he will not be trusted by wizards, which will have a negative effect.
Mrs. Weasley brought up the bread and marmalade, and then examined Ivan and Harry with critical eyes.
"Honey, your clothes need to be sorted out, and you must make a good impression."
She began to pay particular attention to their T-shirts, mainly Harry's, now tucking in the labels and smoothing out the seams on the shoulders.
Harry felt awkward and wished she hadn't.
"I have to tell Dumbledore that I won't be on the night shift tomorrow, I'm too, too, too tired." Tonks said, and yawned again.
"Let me do it for you!" said Mr. Weasley. "I'm fine. I have a report tomorrow anyway..."
"Okay, you two, can you go up and wake up those slobs, how long do they want to sleep!" Mrs. Weasley said, and gave Tonks a dissatisfied look. She didn't want Harry and Ivan to know anything related to this.
In this way, Ivan and Harry climbed the stairs again.
"I'll go up and call Ron, Fred and George," said Harry, walking up to the third floor. "You go call Hermione and Ginny."
Ai Wen nodded, walked to the door of their two rooms and knocked lightly, but no one responded.
It seems that the two of them slept deeply...
Chapter 880 Magic and Science
This is not to blame for Hermione and Ginny, the two of them have been helping Ivan research and design the flying broom recently.
Aiwen is mainly responsible for the core components, and the main body of the broom is handed over to the two of them.
They are currently studying the broomstick part, comparing it with the real thing, and drawing a lot of sketches. Hermione has almost turned over all the books. Ginny is also very talented in drawing. They are planning to design a very thick, big and black Broom out, the work is exhausting.
Last night, they studied until very late, and it is reasonable that they are not up now.
The door didn't seem to be locked, and anyway, no one else would go in at night.
If Ivan came to look for Hermione at night, he usually wouldn't leave the door...
He was wondering whether to go in and call the two of them up. He had never seen her sleep in bed.
If Hermione doesn't wake up, he can still tickle her. Ivan knows which part of Hermione's body is the most sensitive.
Before he could make a move, there was a rush of footsteps inside.
The snake-shaped doorknob turned, and the door swung open. Hermione stood there in pink pajamas with sleepy eyes.
She came running barefoot, with disheveled hair, half asleep.
The loose pajamas were only fastened with two buttons in the middle, covering important parts, and the pajama pants slipped down slightly, revealing the white underwear...
This look is so cute and alluring that people can't help but kiss it.
"Good morning, Ivan!" She rubbed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Because she was so sleepy, her body shook slightly.
"Good morning, Hermione, we are leaving!" Ivan said, stepping forward to help her.
"Come on, Ginny is watching!" Hermione hurriedly pushed him away, and said softly, "We'll be out right away."
The moment the door closed, Ivan saw Hermione, who was blushing, and Ginny, who was peeping at the two of them not far away.
She curled up into a small ball, most of her head was buried under the quilt, only her bright eyes were exposed.
There were voices in the room, Ginny seemed to be asking something, and Hermione was explaining.
Ivan returned to the kitchen and discussed the newspaper office with Lupine for a while.
Five minutes later, Harry came down with Ron, Fred, and George, and the three of them had already changed.
Mrs. Weasley brought over the food and urged them to hurry up.
"Where will they judge Alvin and Harry?" Fred said, stuffing the bread into his mouth.
"I've heard that the Ministry of Magic has a secret courtroom underground, and they guard it with dementors," said George.
"Fred, George, don't scare them!" said Mrs. Weasley sullenly. "There's no such thing as a secret courtroom."
