Chapter 845: Set Out
Evan had expected this to happen, and he had warned Percy to pay attention to Mr. Crouchs abnormal situation.
If Percy had reacted quickly and reported the situation, he would have been hailed as a hero.
But it was of no use. As George said, Percy wished Crouch would leave him in charge of everything in the Department.
Percy didnt care about Evans warning, nor did he care about Mr. Crouchs actual state, he just wanted to prove himself at work.
Hermione was also upset about what Percy said to Mr. Weasley. Of all his children, Percy was closest to Mr. Weasley.
They were arguing so loudly, and Mum has been in a right state, said Ginny quietly.
You know crying and stuff, Ron added. She came up to London to try and talk to Percy but he slammed the door in her face. I dont know what he does if he meets Dad at work ignores him, I suppose.
Like Harry, he was annoyed by recent events.
There were a lot of unpleasant things at home, and everyone was upset because of Percy.
Evan and Hermione were on vacation in Egypt, and he was stuck in this old house all summer vacation, unable to go anywhere.
Obviously close to the Order of the Phoenix, but he knew nothing and couldnt do anything. Everyone treated him as a child and prevented him from participating in the Order of the Phoenixs affairs.
What had happened last term also made Ron feel frustrated. Although the Triwizard Tournament was a conspiracy, he was one of the champions, but he didnt get the glory he deserved.
In fact, the entire Triwizard Tournament turned into a joke in the end.
Krum was controlled by the Imperius Curse. Ron was attacked by him and fell into the grass full of Grindylows. He was scared when he saw the lake. But he was not the worst one. Cedric was said to have become a vampire. He dropped out of Hogwarts and was still missing.
With Evans help, Fleur had come out of it without much harm, but there was nothing remarkable about her performance.
Eventually, Harry and Evan were pushed to the forefront again. The two of them witnessed the resurrection of Voldemort and became true champions.
All eyes were focused on them, and no one paid attention to the poor original champions.
Ron didnt know who to blame. If he could have become a little stronger, that wouldnt have happened.
In short, Percy takes the Daily Prophet seriously and doesnt believe what we tell him, said Fred.
Hes a complete idiot. He doesnt trust his family but believes those messy reports. George said.
This situation wont last long said Evan, ready to talk with Lupin to keep abreast of the current situation of the newspaper.
He had made up his mind to fight a public opinion war and take the opportunity to expand the scale of Hogwarts Magic.
As he said before, this was a challenge, but it was also an opportunity for Hogwarts Magic to surpass the established media.
By the way, what did the Daily Prophet say about Harry being attacked by the Dementors? Hermione asked.
Nothing. They didnt report a word about the Dementors attacking Harry.
Take a look at this; these are the Daily Prophets from the past month, said Ron, pulling out a pile of newspapers. Its still the same old nonsense, describing Dumbledore as a mad old man, you as an inexperienced young wizard dabbling in dangerous magic. As for Harry, he is a deluded, attention-seeking person who thinks hes a great tragic hero or something.
Evan picked up a copy, which reported an unfounded report about the Pewter Cauldron.
The second half of the article was about the kind of lies that only Evan Mason and Harry Potter could make up. They seemed to have made up their minds to mention them no matter what the report was, and treat Evan and Harry as a standing joke.
Evan quickly tossed the newspaper aside, but Hermione was looking at it carefully.
As I imagined, they are afraid to report that Harry was attacked. Hermione said quickly, browsing through the newspaper at hand. Think about it, the Dementors out of control. Its something they dont want to see. They havent even reported that Harry broke the International Statute of Secrecy. I think theyre biding their time until Harrys expelled, and then they can act unscrupulously
Hermione stopped and realized that what she was saying was very bad.
I mean, if Harry is expelled, obviously she went on hastily, he really shouldnt be, not if the Ministry abides by their own laws, theres no case against him.
Then, the topic returned to Harrys hearing.
When are we going to pick up Harry? Evan asked, We cant let him stay at Dursleys house.
I dont know, they didnt tell us, said Ron discontentedly.
Its time for our new invention, the Extendable Ear, to come on stage! said Fred. Theyre going to have a meeting in the kitchen.
We just put this thing in and hear what they say George held up something like a string.
Dont let Mum find out! Ginny warned worriedly.
Dont worry, well be cautious, said Fred, with a smirk. We have exclusive information. Tonight, Snape is going to read a report here, top secret, as long as
He stopped suddenly. There was a sound of walking in the corridor, and they heard Mrs. Weasley talking to Moody.
There was another loud crack, and both Fred and George vanished. They had just learned to Apparate.
Wherever they went now, they just Apparated, suddenly vanishing and appearing in the house, without walking at all.
A few seconds later, Mrs. Weasley appeared in the bedroom doorway.
Im sorry to disturb you, dears! she said, her eyes falling on Evan, We just decided to pick up Harry tonight. Evan, can you come along? We need a guide, only you have been to his uncle and aunts house
No problem! Evan hurriedly stood up, taking the wand.
You and Hermione have just returned from Egypt and need a rest, Mrs. Weasley continued. But Remus has something to do tonight and cant pick up Harry. Moody says they are short of one person and must have enough guards.
This is an extraordinary period, and we must be vigilant at all times, said Moody gruffly as he walked in.
He looked as scary as ever, with long grizzled gray hair and a large chunk missing from his nose.
When he was at the airport just now, he had to check Evan and Hermione to make sure they were not Death Eaters.
Youre going to pick up Harry; I want to go too, said Ron hastily. Ive been to that Muggle house before.
Ron, this is not a joke. You cant go with them to add more trouble, said Mrs. Weasley seriously, stopping him. They may encounter dangerous Death Eaters at any time during the process of picking up Harry. Evan has the ability to take care of himself
