They came out of the training room, and when they passed the room where the members of the Order of the Phoenix were meeting, Fred took out the telescopic ears and tried it, "No, they are smarter."
Back in the living room, Penello made tea for them.
"Don't you need to call Percy down?" Hermione asked.
"He is upstairs to report." Penello said.
"That sounds familiar," Ron said, scratching his chin.
"Isn't it easier to change to'He is catching up the paper upstairs"? We listened to it for seven years." Fred said sadly, "I said that I always felt shortcomings this month, and now I finally make up for it. NS."
Neville chuckled and laughed, "I'm sorry, I can't help it."
At this time, Penello used his magic wand to direct the teapot and cup to fly to the table.
"You don't know, the director of his department has not been decided yet, and he is holding back his energy."
"He is so confident? Is this possible?" Harry asked in surprise. Percy's department was the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department. The previous director was Barty Crouch, who was imprisoned in Arz in Crouch. After Kaban, this position has been vacant, and the former Minister Fudge has also taken up the post.
"It's almost as likely as he suddenly got the Merlin Medal." Penello made a joke, "but he has always been hopeful."
"It's not that difficult, is it?" Ron said half-truth. "As long as you have a heart-piercing charm from a mysterious person."
Penello looked at him reproachfully.
"What do you think you got the medal because of? It's just because of the Heart Drilling Curse?"
"Uh"
"It should be to set a few examples at critical moments." Harry remembered what Ms. Bones had said to them.
"The Merlin Medal is not that cheap." Penello said.
Harry was a little unconvinced. If someone like Lockhart can get the Merlin Medal, what can't happen?
"Is it because we are still alive?"
"Just being alive is enough," Penello said pertinently. Harry looked at her puzzledly, and she said rationally: "You have disrupted the mysterious man's plan. He probably didn't plan to find three witnesses for himself. Sorry, it is four."
She placed her magic wand on the teapot, and the teapot immediately gasped with a puff of white steam, and then a small stream of water flowed out of the teapot, forming a small vortex at the bottom of the cup, "It's not bad, isn't it? I learned from my mother during the holidays. ."
"What? Uh, yeah," Harry said, still struggling with the topic. "But why?"
"At first glance, you didn't listen carefully to what Ms. Burns said." Hermione pointed out the truth uncomfortably.
"Did she make any great speeches besides dragging the time for the reporter to take pictures?" Ron asked.
"Of course." Hermione straightened up and cleared her throat, which almost indicated that she was going to be a long talk next. Sure enough, she began to imitate Ms. Bones's way of speaking.
"In the past month, this is for all wizards. I continue to have no sad news. No one has died strangely, and there is no dark mark hanging over your neighbor. In fact, , All the anxiety is brought about by the new measures of the Ministry of Magic. I heard some complaints, the Ministry of Magic must separate a group of people to deal with all kinds of harsh questions and yelling letters, but what is more worthy of vigilance than these The reason behind this phenomenon: There are still many people who choose to be suspicious of the bad news about the return of the mysterious man..."
"... With this opportunity today, the Ministry of Magic, together with Wissengamer and the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance, solemnly announced: The mysterious man has really come back, hiding in the dark, lurking in the crowd, in a place where we can't see it. Gather the Death Eaters and gather the minions who once attached to him. If we are still ignorant and ignorant, the contributions of the four people sitting on the stage waiting to receive the award will be greatly reduced, and the time they have bought for us will be wasted, and at the same time It is also a huge blow to the staff of the Ministry of Magic, Aurors, hitters, and pioneers of all walks of life who took immediate action..."
"...We must build up confidence and courage before the enemy shows up, because the harder days have not yet come. Fortunately, we already have an example. They showed their tenacious will when they fell into the dark and told us that there is no need to fear. With fear, he successfully walked out with a wound and issued a warning of war."
"I hope we can remain positive and optimistic. Although the road ahead is full of mists, I am still willing to imagine the joy of victory. Looking back at this period of history, people will find that the seeds of victory have long been planted..."
Hermione finished, "The following is an introduction to the Ministry of Magic's current wartime policies."
The people present looked at her without blinking.
"Have you memorized all the Minister's speech?" Ron asked with staring eyes, as if looking at some strange creature, such as a fried snail that suddenly broke into the kitchen.
"There is a complete statement in the newspaper. I have read it several times, and if you get up early enough and are willing to help out in the kitchen, you will find the speech repeated on the magic radio." Hermione said to them.
"So you still memorized it." Ron said persistently.
Penello looked at Hermione with bright eyes: "I should have known you sooner. We must have a lot of common languages. What about the "Future World" company after graduation?" She couldn't help but recruit talents.
"Hey, we have been staring at Hermione for a long time, and we are going to invite her to join the Weasley's Witchcraft and Wizardry." Fred pretended to complain.
Harry took a sip of water, and he couldn't imagine the scene linking Hermione to the mischievous object.
"Are you thinking about robbing people so early?" Ron asked scratchingly.
Fred and George sighed together.
"Start first, do it better, don't you think Penello does the same?"
"It doesn't need to be so early, you haven't graduated yourself," Harry said, but seeing the twins tacitly stare at each other, and a bold idea came to his mind, he said silently: "You are not going to quit school, are you?"
"how come?"
"You think too much"
The two said in unison.
"You can't even lie to Varen, don't you, Varen?" Ron said. Varen raised his head from the sofa when he heard someone calling him. He was holding a small fishing rod and hook in his hand. There is a ball of yarn tied to it, and he is playing a game with Crookshanks lying on the carpet.
"You have become smarter, my dear brother" Fred said gloomily.
"But not smart enough." George followed.
"So you really plan to drop out?" Harry said, there was a voice in his heart shouting, Mrs. Weasley would never agree, even if they were taped up and stuck on the Hogwarts Express. On her luggage rack, she didn't have the slightest hesitation.
"Shhh, keep it quiet," Fred said hurriedly. "Let's put it this way, we are not planning to drop out of school, but we are planning to play our own sign in advance."
"In fact, there is a better choice, relying on the store of the "Future World" company." George said gloomily, "but Remus refused."
"But why"
"The concept is different," Fred spread his hands, making an ‘old antique’ shape in his mouth, "We think people’s mood will continue to be depressed in the future. At this time, it will definitely be more necessary to have some fun. Prank items will be very marketable."
George nodded his head, "Now it's our turn to show off."
"We are going to open a store, not in Diagon Alley, but in Hogsmeade." Fred said his plan.
"We didn't think about dropping out. Mother would hang us up and beat us." George muttered, "Or stuffed into the sink and drowned, pretending that we never showed up."
"Awesome," Ron said. "What product do you have prepared?"
"A lot." Fred and George grinned, "But not counting the sound transmission mirror and the anti-cursive series, those two will stay in the "Future World" and will be returned to us after the war is over."
"Safely"
"We chose to be neighbors with the future world." George blinked at Neville who asked the question.
"Where is the clerk?"
"Hire someone first. We will inspect Hogsmeade when it's open. We usually use owls to contact us. It's a pity that all the secret passages in the school are blocked." Fred smacked and said: "But Since we only have one year left... it can still be tolerated."
"I may enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation." Hermione said, "but I don't want to give up the study of ancient magic texts." She said with a headache.
"Do you want to be an Auror too?" Fred asked in surprise looking at Harry and Ron.
"Hermione wants to be Minister of Magic." Harry said without thinking.
Hermione glared at him, but did not refute.
"I just think some things must be done." She said calmly.
Fred and George gave thumbs up.
At this moment, there was movement in the hall, and Fred glanced downstairs. "The meeting is over." He turned around and said.
So when Felix and Sirius came to the living room, they saw a group of people quietly drinking tea. "I thought you would eavesdrop. The doors were opened several times." Tonks smiled and sat among them.
"I will talk to Emilia tomorrow." Sirius said to Felix, referring to the matter of Bod.
"Help me bring him this amulet." Felix took out a pendant that looked like a snail shell from the ring and handed it to Sirius.
