Chapter 221 Letter From Brother Percy
Then, after reading the prophecy on Christmas Eve in the fourth grade, in order to prove that she was a useful woman and worthy of the identity of the executor of Chen Bin's top-secret plan, her special training for actual combat could be described as self-abuse.
Therefore, now compared with the self in the prophecy, she felt how naive and weak she was, and she actually planned to liberate the house elves by weaving clothes. This is simply not feasible. If you want to liberate them, you must climb up in the Ministry of Magic.
She is sure that the original destiny self lacks a goal to catch up with, and has held too many boring activities, which makes her become a nerd who only knows how to read books and guess blindly.
In addition, the classmates of the original destiny are too green, and they can't even use the basic disarming spell.
Since joining the evening club in the second grade, even the first graders can perform this magic, but its magic power cannot break through any defensive magic. There was also the escape room in the third grade, which trained everyone's escape skills to perfection. In last year's simulated battle, counterattack methods, mobile attack and defense spells, tactics and strategies were trained to a professional level.
Hermione listened and analyzed, and suddenly heard Ron exclaimed: "What? You and Qiu Zhang are in love and kissed?"
"It's the original destiny! I didn't do it in reality." Harry said with a red face.
"Oh my God! This is already great, isn't it?" Ron held Harry's arm tightly and said excitedly: "Doesn't this mean that you can also pick her up in reality? And what does it feel like to kiss?"
"How should I know? I haven't tried it yet." Harry said embarrassedly: "The book says that I feel very wet."
Hermione couldn't help laughing, and when she was about to tease Harry, she saw a beautiful long-eared owl standing on the windowsill of the window closest to them, staring at Ron with wide eyes.
"Hey, Percy's annoying letter is here." Hermione pointed at the owl and smiled at Ron.
"The prophecy has said that it is full of disgusting content, so I won't read it." Ron didn't plan to go to the window.
"It won't hurt to take a look, right?" Hermione suggested.
"Yes, let's see if fate will change again."
Ron couldn't stand his friend's instigation, and while opening the window, he kept muttering: "Bin didn't have any connection with Percy."
However, after they finished reading the letter, they didn't say anything for a long time. Awkward, super embarrassing, the three of them have broken through the late stage of embarrassing cancer, and they are about to die of embarrassment!
"Dear Ron:
I have just heard (from the Financial Secretary himself, who heard it from Dumbledore) that you have become a prefect at Hogwarts.
I am very pleased and surprised to hear this news, and I would like to congratulate you in advance.
I must admit that I have been worried that you would follow the path of what we call "Fred and George" instead of following my footsteps, so you can imagine how relieved I was when I heard that you have finally stopped defying authority and decided to take on some real responsibilities.
But, Ron, I want to give you more than just congratulations. I also want to give you some advice, so I am sending this letter at night, rather than through the usual morning post. I hope you can avoid the provocations of others. Read this letter to avoid embarrassing questions.
The director told me that you let slip something when you were chosen as the prefect, and I heard that you still hang out with Harry Potter. I must tell you, Ron, you must maintain a friendly relationship with Potter. He is a shortcut for you to climb up quickly. Yes, I believe you will be surprised to hear this - you will undoubtedly say that Potter is just Dumbledore's favorite student - but I think I need to tell you that the current Ministry of Magic is no longer the Minister's decision. The real decision-makers have been replaced by Director Dumbledore and his loyal partner Director Malfoy, and they also value Potter very much and plan to let him join the Ministry of Magic in an important position after he graduates. Therefore, you must not get close to Umbridge, even if you read tomorrow's Daily Prophet, don't believe those wind directions - that only represents the position held by the Fudge faction who has lost power!
Seriously, Ron, you have to think carefully about whether you should pursue Hermione Granger. Bill told me that you still miss her and plan to lend a hand to her when she hits a wall after graduation. I know that you plan to pursue her after you become mature and rich, and you don't mind that she has been with more than one man by then, and even lived with other men. However, you have to know that she is a wizard born in a Muggle family. If you choose her, it will definitely leave a negative impression in the hearts of the pure-blood family headed by Malfoy, and it will also greatly affect your future.
Listen to me, Granger is ambitious and studious, and she will definitely become a magician in the future. One of the strong candidates for the Minister of the Ministry. Together with her, you will become the weaker party in the family, and will also be excluded by the pure-blood group.
You should know that pure-bloods do not necessarily exclude Muggle-born wizards, but most of them still maintain traditional aristocratic thinking - if they marry commoners, they will become commoners; no matter how poor the pure-blood nobles are, they are still nobles.
Maybe you dare not alienate them, because this will affect your good friendship with Potter - I know that this kind of friendship is the most effective shortcut for you to climb up - if you really have concerns in this regard, I can consult Director Malfoy for a solution. He is a very noble and generous real noble. I have learned a lot of life truths from working under him. I know he will be happy to give you some advice as a pure-blood.
Having said that, I might as well give you a little more warning. As I mentioned before, in addition to controlling Hogwarts, Dumbledore also controlled the armed forces of the entire British wizarding community and even led the European Defense Alliance. Ron, you must be loyal to him, which means being loyal to the Ministry of Magic in advance. Moreover, I heard that he has established a very good friendship with the distant ancient countries in the East, and now all European defense equipment and systems are imported from them.
Therefore, in this international environment, his status is unshakable at all - you may not know that the Chinese magic world is conservatively estimated to have more than 120,000 magicians, which is likely to exceed the total number of magicians in the entire West, and it is said that individuals have The average strength is also much higher than ours - even if you may think that Dumbledore borrowed the power of the East, I can tell you that borrowing power is also a kind of strength. I just want to make one point - if a student offers unconditional loyalty to Dumbledore now, he will definitely become the Head Boy in two years' time!
It's a pity that I didn't see you often during the summer vacation. I hate to criticize our father, but if he continues to antagonize Director Malfoy, I'm afraid I won't be able to live under the same roof with him again.
Also, please express my gratitude to Mr. Aaron Naama and Ms. Isabelle Naama. Director Malfoy told me that they recommended me for my current position. I also hope that you and Harry can establish a good relationship with the Naama family, and it is even better to stay with them during the long vacation. Their strength is many times stronger than you expected.
Finally, I have to reiterate: Ron, don't let temporary love blind your eyes, and you can't see clearly that you and Granger are people in two different worlds. Beliefs, behaviors and births also have wrong natures. I sincerely hope that Granger will stop haunting you and realize his true nature. Of course, when that day comes, I will be happy to have her as my rival for the Minister, she is really powerful, but a Muggle, but everyone knows what happens to Muggles - Nobby Ridge is the most Good example.
Please consider my words very carefully, especially those about Potter and Granger, and congratulations again on your election as Prefect.
your brother
Percy"
Harry looked up at Ron.
"I have never taken advantage of you." Ron tried his best to make his voice sound ridiculous: "You also know that Percy is an official fan, right?"
"I believe you." Harry said, suppressing a smile, "But what does Granger mean by pestering you?"
Hermione's face became even redder. What about the one who promised not to have a crush anymore?
"Haha..." Ron smiled dryly and pretended to be stupid: "Maybe Bill misunderstood what I meant, or maybe he distorted my words when talking to Percy?"
Hermione grabbed the letter, glared at Ron and said, "You're bragging to Bill at home, right? Don't grab it, I know you want to tear it into eight pieces and throw it into the fire."
Ron's embarrassing cancer broke out! He really had this plan just now, but this behavior had already been mentioned in the prophecy from Harry's mouth, but the actual letter had different contents!
"What did you keep this letter for?" Harry asked confused.
Hermione tucked the letter into her textbook and placed it in a seamless stretch bag.
"To remind Ron, bragging will leave evidence." She shook her curly hair and strode towards the stairs of the women's dormitory.
Harry and Ron waited until midnight. The common room was empty, but Sirius' head was still missing from the fire.
"Go back to sleep." Ron stretched and said, "He didn't become a wanted criminal, so he didn't need to chat by the fire. Last year he acted according to the fourth volume, but this year Dumbledore directly played it. I’ve given you the whole set of books, so of course you don’t need Sirius to perform this unnecessary drama.”
Harry yawned and followed him upstairs.
The next morning, the "Daily Prophet" featured a large photo of Dolores Umbridge in a prominent position as predicted. She was indeed smiling and winking at the camera.
The Ministry of Magic appointed her as the first Senior Investigator in the name of educational reform. The new decree gave her an unprecedented degree of control over Hogwarts.
Percy was originally supposed to be the minister's assistant, but now he is a middle-aged wizard unknown to the trio. He mentioned in the newspaper that people were increasingly uneasy about the current situation at Hogwarts, especially since it was the starting point of the mysterious man's transformation into a demon. In order to prevent their children from following the path of the mysterious man, parents hope that the Ministry of Magic can take some positive actions so that the school can develop in a direction they agree with.
To put it simply, Fudge sent people to write nonsense in the newspapers again. On August 30, the Ministry of Magic passed a power-cutting order: "Education Order No. 22" stipulates that if the principal fails to provide candidates for a certain teaching position, the right to recommend will fall to the Ministry of Magic.
