Until an hour later, fierce fighting continued to be heard in the old house.

This is Sirius fighting Moody's hand-to-hand.

Or to be more precise, it was Moody's unilateral beating of Sirius. After all, even though Moody was disabled, his alchemy prosthesis still gave him great power.

This scene made Harry and the others anxious. They wanted to step forward, but they were thrown away by Sirius and Moody. They cursed and used words to persuade them.

Hermione was smarter, and she turned her attention to Link for help.

It's a pity that Link didn't want to stop this fight.

In his opinion, Sirius's action on Moody is more like a continuation of self-punishment. After all, because of Regulus, the pain in Sirius's heart has almost overflowed.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Link. He can tell Sirius the truth already very well, otherwise Sirius would not understand how good his brother is to his death.

Shaking his head, Link was about to return to Foley Castle.

But at this moment, Sirius, who had been beaten into a pig by Moody, suddenly rushed over, completely ignoring Arkham's threat, and hugged Link's arm.

"What do you want to do?"

Link said coldly, a twisted black light was shining on the tip of the ebony wand.

Link hates physical contact with Sirius in any sense, and he promises that if Sirius can't give a reasonable reason, he will definitely replace Moody and satisfy Sirius' desire to punish himself.

When it comes to torture, the power of cursing can be said to be the most appropriate.

"Link! Don't!"

Moody rushed forward to prevent Link, a dangerous man, from actually doing anything to Sirius.

But Sirius turned a blind eye to all of this. He grabbed Link's arm hard and said with a trembling body:

"Regulus can't just carry the notoriety of Death Eaters all the time! He is a true hero! This matter needs to be known to more people! I need...I need you to prove his name! Please...please..."

"no!"

Moody yelled again, but Link, like Sirius, ignored him at all.

Link just quietly stared at Sirius. After fully feeling the firmness and pleading in Sirius's eyes, Link sighed and said:

"Can."

"What are you thinking Link!? You can't do that!" Moody gritted his teeth, "This will expose us! Once the Death Eaters react, all our previous efforts may be in vain!"

"But Regulus Black is a real hero! I think he is worthy of a Merlin First Class Medal!" Link said in a loud voice, "Of course, it needs some operation and will produce some cost."

"I will bear all the costs! As long as you can help Regulus prove that, even if you let me pay everything, I will not hesitate!"

Sirius said decisively, and while speaking, he took out a simple key from his arms.

This is the key to the Black family vault in Gringotts.

Link coldly glanced at him and said:

"I'm not blackmailing you. When I say cost, I mean time cost. As Professor Moody said, now is not the right time."

"When will you wait?!"

boom-

As soon as Sirius' voice fell, Sirius was thrown off by an invisible force as soon as Link's wand was raised, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You don't have the power to bargain with me, and I don't owe you anything."

Link said coldly.

Under his cold gaze, Sirius seemed to be awake finally.

He struggled to get up, endured the pain and nodded at Link:

"This is my fault, thank you for ignoring our past grievances and helping me again."

Hearing that Link didn't speak, he just nodded silently.

He is not interested in staying here anymore.

"Apparition!"

Waved his magic wand, Link read the address silently in his heart, and with a familiar feeling of dizziness, the scene in front of Link had become the foyer of Foley Castle.

"Master! You are back! Madam and Miss are having dinner."

The little button of the house elf greeted him graciously and said.

By the way, I was going to take Link to the restaurant, but the two were walking halfway, and Mrs. Foley and Emily had already walked out.

"Link, are you having fun with your friends?"

Mrs. Foley said with a smile, and while speaking, she helped Link to suppress the restless dull hair on his head.

Just as Link wanted to say something, he saw that Emily had actually posted it, and started to sniff while pulling Link by the neckline.

Arkham, who was sitting on Link's shoulder, almost instinctively opened his mouth to intimidate, but was slapped away by Emily. In the end, he could only be wronged and plucked on Link's head—he couldn't match Amy. Korea.

"you've been drinking!"

Emily raised her volume and said categorically.

"It's just a little bit, and I used the sober medicine in advance, it won't cause any harm to the body."

Link explained with a smile, but the smile seemed stiff.

This is Link's first marriage in two lifetimes, and he has no experience dealing with his wife after drinking.

Fortunately, Emily is not a critical woman either.

In fact, what she was looking for was not evidence that Link drank or not, but wanted to see if Link smelled of Hermione.

From the results alone, Link clearly passed the test.

Hearing that Emily gave Link a white look, and did not continue on this topic, but reached out and smoothed Link's wrinkled collar and said:

"Forget it, it's okay to have a drink. Let's take a rest before eating something. By the way, we will go to Paris to visit the fashion show in a while. Do you want to follow us?"

"Me? I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you." Link said with a wry smile, "My training has not been completed yet."

"poor child."

Mrs. Foley touched Link's cheek when she heard the words, her expression was the same as Emily, and she was a little distressed.

It's a pity that this distressed mood did not last long for them.

Because they know very well that Link will definitely handle everything. This is something that has been proven countless times in the past.

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Foley and Emily who are about to travel, Link reluctantly brings Arkham and Yo-Yo back to the spell training room to continue training on Apparition Mantra.

boom-

The door closed heavily, and the expression on Link's face gradually became serious.

The time left for him is actually running out.

You must know that the entire range of Hogwarts is covered by the Anti-Phantom Manifestation Curse.

This meant that once the school started, Link would almost have no way to continue practicing the Apparition Mantra.

However, in the current situation of the collapse of the plot, Voldemort and the Death Eaters may formally fight Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic at any time, and Link must also master the high-level Apparition Curse as soon as possible to increase their combat power. .

Then in the last period of the summer vacation, practicing crazy, at least upgrading the Apparition Mantra to lv4 has become the best choice.

Of course, the difficulty of doing so can be imagined.

But Link thinks he can give it a try, if it's great, then don't sleep!

Thinking about this, Link's eyes became more determined.

He arranged the full 32 bottles of the awakening potion neatly in the protective box in the corner, and then took out his wand and began to chant.

Immediately, a series of firecrackers blasted with insignificant spatial fluctuations rippling in the curse training room.

The retreat practice for the Apparition Mantra has begun!

…

At the same time, in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was covering his head and slowly moving towards his office against the wall.

His gaze was alert and his movements were slight. This gesture made him look like a thief.

He also read about reports in newspapers such as the Daily Prophet this morning.

The articles attacking him above made him furious.

As Minister of Magic, Fudge is also very good at manipulating public opinion, so he is also more aware that these articles with a lot of false content will inevitably cause great damage to his popular support.

This is no way. The people just like the news about big people's shit. They only believe in the things they are willing to believe. As for the truth of the matter, it is not in their consideration at all.

At present, Fudge still has no good way to deal with this situation. His performance in the Wiesengamo court was really bad.

Judging by Fudge's years of work experience in politics, the best way to deal with it now is to make a plea of ​​innocence.

That is to say, the testimony provided by Dumbledore is not legally valid and is false perjury.

This is not because he came out of nowhere, but Dumbledore himself had loopholes in the procedures for submitting witnesses. Strictly speaking, the old woman's testimony should not have been taken.

Once this is confirmed, not only will the current accusations against him disappear, but Harry Potter will be tried again, and even because of perjury, Harry Potter will be given a heavier punishment.

But this is simple to say, but it is more difficult to implement it.

Because this requires the cooperation of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, and the current director-general Bones treats him very strangely. He neither supports nor opposes it, but seems to want to enforce the law impartially.

Of course, in Fudge's view, this kind of action is completely waiting for the price, in an attempt to get more benefits from him.

On the other hand, Fudge also needs to face the attacks of the old Batty and others.

He felt that if he didn't produce more blood this time, he might not be able to settle the matter.

If this is only far-sighted, then Fudge is still facing many more serious immediate worries.

For example, the paparazzi reporters who surrounded his door and the Ministry of Magic today.

The reason why Fudge is now acting like a thief is largely because of the chasing and intercepting of the paparazzi.

This greatly affected his daily life, and the scene of being surrounded by paparazzi and questioning made him lose face in the Ministry of Magic.

"That **** group of reporters! I gave them so much Jin Jialong in the past! As a result, they actually bite me in turn. What a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!

And those strikers in the Ministry of Magic who are responsible for security! They let the reporters in! Sooner or later I will expel them all! "

Fudge whispered, but fixed his eyes on the wooden door not far away.

That is the door of his office. As long as he enters there, his painful experience this morning can be said to be over temporarily.

Thinking about this, Fudge quickened his pace.

But just as he stretched out his hand to open the door, a familiar voice rang from behind him.

"Ah! Isn't this Mr. Minister? Why did you look like this after not seeing you all night? Could it be that this is your new hobby? Transvestism?"

The person who spoke was Old Batty.

Fudge turned his head back through gritted teeth, and saw the old Batty and three other young Senator Wiesengamo looking at him with a faint smile.

Judging from their position, they should have been watching Fudge as a thief for some time.

It was at the end that Fudge was about to go out of sight before speaking.

This made Fudge's face flushed even more.

He didn't want to talk and went straight into the office. After all, it would be embarrassing to say that he was besieged by paparazzi at this time, but at this moment, the door of the office opened by himself.

Umbridge and Percy walked out of the office one after another. Seeing their appearance, it seemed that Percy was asking Umbridge about administrative work.

The two of them almost collided with the head-covered Fudge, which made the atmosphere of the scene even more embarrassing.

"Ahem!"

Fudge cleared his throat, and now he was under his hand, naturally he couldn't be softened to Old Barty.

He just straightened his body and said to Old Batty:

"Everyone has their own unknown hobbies, which is not surprising, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Just like you, Mr. Crouch, do you also train yourself as a Death Eater, and then throw it into Aziz Is Caban killed by a hobby?"

Fudge's counterattack was not unrelenting. His words were like a sharp sword, inserted into Old Barty's chest fiercely, causing the smile that had originally rippled on his face to disappear instantly and become extremely serious.

Affected by this momentum, the three young congressmen around the old Barty also reduced their smiles and stepped back silently.

Obviously, they are also very clear about the things about Batty.

In fact, this is no longer a secret in the entire Ministry of Magic. Fudge tells this story every time he brags to others about his victory in the election that year, but it is done without the knowledge of Old Barty.

"There is no need for Mr. Minister to remind me about my son's past deeds. At the same time, it is really not strange to have your own special hobbies."

Old Barty said blankly, "But since Mr. Minister calls my son's deeds as my special hobby, it also means that even my own hobbies, when it is related to the Ministry of Magic, and even the entire wizarding world of the country. You also need to be punished when there is a conflict!

For now, I have paid the price for cultivating my son's hobbies. So Mr. Minister, are you ready to pay the price? "

"Pay the price? I don't think I need to pay any price." Fudge said loudly. Old Barty's tactics can't scare him. In fact, Fudge will only lose his stance when Dumbledore is present. As for Old Barty, then In his opinion, it is just a defeated player, "Could it be said that if I cover my head, it conflicts with the interests of the Ministry of Magic and the people?"

After that, Fudge laughed and looked at Umbridge and Percy.

Seeing this, Umbridge and Percy could only reluctantly agreed and smiled, but the smiles looked very stiff, which was obviously not funny.

"I mean," Old Barty suddenly raised the volume, drawing everyone's attention back, "you use the power of the Ministry of Magic to avenge your personal revenge and direct the dementors to attack Harry Potter's hobby.

It's your hobby that you embezzle the Ministry of Magic's public funds for your own enjoyment.

It's your hobby of bribing reporters to let them build momentum for you and control public opinion! "

"You fart!"

Fudge shouted, UU reading www.uukanshu. The accusation of the com old Barty made his smile no longer hold up, "You are spreading rumors! I have never done these things at all!"

"Are I spreading rumors? You know in your heart. But what I have to remind you is that many people have already started reporting you by real names. This time, you are dead!"

Old Batty sneered and dropped such a sentence, and then led a group of young congressmen towards the direction of the Magic Law Enforcement Department.

Fudge's eyes twitched when he saw this scene, because he knew that the other party was here for real this time.

He must prepare early.

Otherwise, Crouch, together with those young councillors, and Link's support, is likely to make him completely ruined!

"Damn... Crouch!"

Fudge gritted his teeth and murmured, then stopped going to the office and walked directly to the Department of Mysteries.

Behind him, Umbridge and Percy's expressions became strange and inexplicable.
