Chapter 278 Harry and Hermione

"What's wrong? Do you think there's something in my words?" Kate saw her expression turned ugly and immediately guessed what she was worried about.

"I'm not harassing him anymore..." Hermione lowered her head and pinched the sleeves of her robe with both hands.

"Hermione." Kate called softly, looking at Hermione softly. "You are my only female friend in the magical world. I know what you are thinking, planning to do, and suppressing. Even the best sisters cannot share their husbands, but we don't want to affect our relationship because of him. friendship.”

"What do you want?" Hermione's eyes glowed with hope, as if she was waiting for Kate to talk about China's "traditional virtues".

"Think too much. Husbands can't share." Kate rolled her eyes at her friend, shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"I should have guessed it..." Hermione also shook her head and smiled bitterly, and asked helplessly: "So, what did you want to say when you came out to me?"

A gust of breeze blew across their faces. Kate coughed awkwardly and said calmly: "It's nothing. I heard what you said to persuade Ron, so I planned to tell you your true fate. You should also guess, The ending and part of the prophecy have been modified.”

Later, Hermione did not participate in the class that morning and sat quietly on the lawn listening to Kate's story.

After the two separated, Kate's words were still lingering in Hermione's mind. "You and Harry were originally such a pair of star-crossed lovers. Bin and I just didn't want you to fall into grief forever, so we changed this ending. But even Bin didn't expect that this change would make you fall in love with him. Love is an illusory thing. If you always close your perception, even if the right person is always around you, you will always only envy the happiness of others. I have given the decision-making power back to you, and you can continue as you were. , or let go and experience life again. Maybe in two years, you will have a new experience.”

From beginning to end, Kate did not ask her to follow the prophecy, nor did she ask her to avoid Chen Bin. She believed that Chen Bin would not waver. Chen Bin and Kate only had each other in their hearts and could not tolerate the existence of anyone else.

Hermione understood that Kate was just turning a corner to tell her not to waste her time, and to persuade her not to deliberately change herself for other boys.

"But...I'm not willing to give in..." Hermione hugged her legs and cried, as if all her efforts over the years were in vain.

"Hermione, don't cry, what happened?" A familiar male voice came into her ears. Hermione looked up and saw Harry, who had fully recovered from his injuries, squatting in front of her.

"It's great to have you back!" Hermione swooped down and hugged Harry tightly, and the two of them rolled down the grassy slope. "I'm worried to death!"

Looking from another angle, Harry looked in the direction under the tree and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Isha, Kate."

Looking from another angle, Hermione looked towards the sky and smiled bitterly in her heart: "But I really don't have any feelings for this reckless guy!"

Looking from another angle, Isha squatted under a tree and set up a telescope to record, drooling: "The hero and heroine are the perfect match..."

Looking from another angle, Kate stood behind Isha, her face full of worry, and said to herself: "Why do I think Hermione in this time and space will not fall in love with Harry?"

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz..."

"Eh? Kate, did you set your SMS to Morse mode?" Isha couldn't help but feel strange when he heard this weak vibration.

(ω): "Oh, we usually play around and set the text messages to this mode. Let's translate the love words in our heads. The one that talks about important things will of course have normal ringtones and vibrations."

Isha: "(_)... It smells so good~ Who called me a prodigal bitch before? Binbin must be beaten when he comes back."

This morning, Harry woke up in the staff dormitory of the new teaching building, and his first words were: "Hermione, I like you."

However, there were only Yisha and Chen Weiguo in the dormitory, uh... and the photo stone in her hand that recorded a close-up of Harry's face.

Even the video was taken, and Harry finally couldn't deny it this time and took the initiative to admit that he fell in love with Hermione.

The moment before he was burned to black coals, he only had Hermione's smile left in his mind, and he regretted not confessing to her again before he died.

Then, when he woke up again, there was a scene where he confessed his love to Chen and his wife.

Since this was Harry's wish, Isha went next door to find Kate and let them know the prophecy that Maharat had seen.

Even without the scene of Lavender getting angry, Kate would have told Hermione another version of the prophecy at this time, and then Kate and Isha would have created a place to be alone, allowing the man and woman to meet for the first time after knowing their fate.

"Kai is very scared. Bin won't like other girls." Isha saw the worry on her face and comforted her.

"Why?" Kate hopes that Isha has the ability to predict, but the mother and son are also parallel prophets.

ヾ(^ω^): "Because he is a strict wife-controller~La~La~La~"

Σ(°△°|||): "..."

Kate finally understood why Chen Bin only called her Isabel. He obviously shouldn't ask her anything...

She will use her rich experience to bring your intelligence to the same level, and then defeat you head-on with dumber theories.

This week, the Daily Prophet dubbed the siege of Gringotts a "sit-down war."

Fudge wrote in the newspapers to criticize the "greenhorn" acting head of the Department of Defense for not knowing how to command at all, and for setting up a "stupid plan" to bomb all the goblin banks in Europe, wasting a huge amount of military funds in vain, and causing varying degrees of Auror casualties in the six magical communities, and still unable to capture any wizard bank.

In addition to Chen Bin's deliberate waste of shells, these accusations are of course false, especially the newspapers implying that the Department of Defense is covering up the real number of casualties of British Aurors, and also implying that the Aurors who are not fighting outside Gringotts are just sit-in substitutes, and the real Aurors are all seriously injured and transferred to the secret hospital of the Department of Defense.

Chen Bin is really tired of meeting such a boss who only cares about smearing and power struggles.

He knows that Fudge will never accept Voldemort's rule, but he is dissatisfied with the many restrictions on him by the Department of Defense and the Department of Finance, so he is playing tricks in the newspapers to provoke Chen Bin's bottom line.

If the Department of Defence really surrendered to Voldemort, this Chihuahua Minister would definitely be the first to flee the UK, and then continue to hide in the safe house and continue to rant in the newspapers.

The Hogwarts Evening Post is not a pushover either. Although Charlie has not yet become a qualified editor-in-chief, Rita Skeeter is really not afraid of anyone when it comes to verbal battles.

The headlines of the Evening Post for a week also quoted Fudge's remarks in the Daily Prophet interview from 1992, all of which were full of malicious content against goblins, and only short of declaring goblins to be evil creatures.

The most fatal thing is that it also reprinted the cover of a certain issue of The Quibbler in the summer of 1995 - "The title is How far is Fudge from taking Gringotts?" The illustration is Fudge holding a bag of money with Gringotts printed on it in his right hand, but the back view is Fudge holding a dead goblin.

There was no report that scolded Fudge for the whole week, but every news also hinted that this goblin rebellion was all forced by Fudge, and now that something happened, Fudge blamed the Department of Defence for the end.

The duty of the Department of Defense is to maintain social peace, but this war is a conflict between the Goblin Crusher and the goblins, and in the end the Department of Defense was forced to clean up Gringotts.

Goblin Crusher is the nickname given to Fudge by The Quibbler, and now after a week of publicity in the Evening Post, everyone knows that this is a reference to Fudge.

No matter how the Daily Prophet reports, the Evening Post insists on one point: if goblins destroy customers' deposits and collections, all the consequences will be borne by the Goblin Crusher!

Following this direction of reporting, the attention of the magical residents has shifted from examining the combat power of the Department of Defense to questioning Fudge's ability.

Rita Skeeter, the peerless troublemaker, has done everything she can to repay the compensation, and finally fooled the people into believing that the Aurors surrounded but did not attack after the war, mainly because they were concerned about the property hidden in the vault by the residents.

If Fudge can't think of a way to protect the vault, all the property losses caused by the Aurors in this war will also be paid by Fudge!

This is Rita Skeeter's special ability. She subdivided the legal provisions and duties, and finally came to a conclusion - Aurors only need to fight, or not let Aurors participate in the battle. The source of the conflict is that Fudge pushed the goblins too hard, and Aurors cannot pay for Fudge's mistakes.

In fact, the major ancient families also have private treasure rooms. Gringotts usually puts large and relatively cheap things, as well as mountains of gold galleons. Unless the heir is in prison, underage or missing, no big family will put most of its property in the bank.

Now the most hurt are ordinary magical residents. There is no treasure room at home, and the deposits cannot be withdrawn. It may also be destroyed in the next battle.

Soon, the Minister's office was covered by howlers, and there were wizards blocking the Ministry of Magic every day to demand compensation from Fudge.

After a week of public opinion war, Fudge's faction was defeated again.

Fudge once hinted in the Daily Prophet that he was considering applying for compensation funds from the Financial Secretary.

However, the headline of the Hogwarts Evening News that night was: Director Malfoy welcomes the establishment of a compensation fund, but the premise is to set up an independent trial committee.

This committee will try the culprit who caused the goblin rebellion, first confiscate his family assets, and then strip his subordinates layer by layer to see if there is evidence of abuse of power.

When the person in charge is imprisoned, the part of his assets that cannot compensate the people will be fully subsidized by the Finance Department.

Director Malfoy clearly pointed out that the Ministry of Magic is established by taxpayers, so it cannot pay for the mistakes of the perpetrators without trial.

This nonsense is just to fool ordinary residents. Chen Bin has heard another version of Lucius Malfoy in the meeting of the Defense Department.

Now no pure-blood family is making trouble, all because Malfoy made a promise to them privately-after the end of the bank war, the Finance Department will compensate for all losses on the vault list; if the list in the family’s hands does not match the list searched from Gringotts after the war, 30% of the value of the family’s treasure vault will be used as the value of the property stored in Gringotts.
