Chapter 78 News

After Mu Yu emerged from the secret passage of the Whomping Willow, he quietly blended into the bustling auditorium in the early morning. It was the time for owls to send letters. Hundreds of owls were screaming and flying overhead. In the chaos, no one noticed that she took the opportunity to sit at the long table with the people who had just come out for breakfast.

A letter and the Daily Prophet were thrown directly in front of her, but she didn't bother to open them. The hooting of hundreds of owls could not cover up the quarrel at the teachers' desk.

"I will never allow you to remove the Dementors, Dumbledore!" Cornelius Fudge looked like he had not slept all night, and his eyes were black and blue. He shouted to Dumbledore for the first time but he was very angry, "This It's for the safety of the students. Don't forget that Peter is still at large!"

"Hundreds of dementors failed to stop Peter from escaping last night and almost killed the students," Dumbledore said calmly to Fudge, "Cornelly , they are not completely reliable, what happened in the past has proven this to us countless times."

Connery Fudge's face turned the color of pig liver, and he saw that Dumbledore had sat in the middle of the teacher's chair, obviously extremely concerned about this matter. Determined. He clenched his fists and said firmly: "There is still something to do at the ministry, so I'll leave first. You are the principal of Hogwarts, and of course your opinion will be the main one on this matter."

He strode across the auditorium, Behind him, two Ministry of Magic officials quickly jogged to keep up with him. One of them was Albert Greengrass.

Albert glanced at Mu Yu when passing by the Slytherin table, and when he saw her pouring himself a glass of milk without changing her expression, and whispering to Daphne, he wanted to rush over and pull them apart.

Absolute reason controlled him. Now is not the time. He didn't care how they controlled the Ministry of Magic. He had nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic's destruction. However, they should never touch his daughter.

Mu Yu didn't pay too much attention to him. The lowest threats and the least safe, especially to someone like Albert Greengrass. But threats were never her ultimate goal.

"It's strange, Fudge always listens to Dumbledore," Daphne was still talking to her in a low voice, "so strong this time."

She looked sympathetically at the direction her father left: "The ministry must be very busy recently. "

Maybe this is the first time he has made his own decision," Mu Yu said meaningfully while sipping the porridge.

At the end of breakfast, Dumbledore once again announced the decision to withdraw the dementors from the school. He omitted the incident where hundreds of dementors attacked the students during the dispute with Fudge. But he didn't say that the news had spread throughout the school.

Harry Potter has become the focus of conversation again. For some reason, the news that he summoned his Patronus to fight off hundreds of dementors last night quickly spread and became more and more outrageous.

There are no secrets at Hogwarts.

After breakfast, Mu Yu opened the first letter, which read Xiao Yu's personal signature. Her movements were half a beat slower, and there were three pages of letter paper inside. One of them was actually written by Ning Yue. In the summer, he will take Shen Qitong to England to watch the Quidditch World Cup and invite her to go with him.

He didn't say how long they would stay, but it was very likely...Kunlun had agreed to participate in the tournament.

If Ning Yue's letter was just a vague hint, then Shen Xitong's letter bluntly confirmed the news. The two pages were almost entirely filled with her yearning for the magical world on the other side of the world, and her complaints about why Mu Yu never wrote to her.

This was not the first time that Mu Yu had done something like this. She could easily reply to dozens of identical letters to Shen Qitong, ensuring that each one was filled with concern for her. She doesn't mind satisfying others in such small things.

Things are going in the direction she expected.

Thinking of this, Mu Yu was in a good mood and opened the Daily Prophet to read. Today's Daily Prophet was a bit thicker than usual. The article by Rita Skeeter, the reporter Arvides mentioned, took up a full four pages. The entire article is an analysis of the house-elf rebellion in Norway. It's more of a guess than an analysis.

"The Norwegian Minister of Magic, Mr. Swanstadt, announced that the house elf rebellion has been completely quelled. However, Mr. Swanstadt refused to disclose how he dealt with the rebellious house elves. The author had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Swanstadt . 'They are so powerful that wizards are afraid of them.' Mr. Swanstadt said tremblingly while sitting at the former site of the temporary Ministry of Magic in Alesund. The author has reasons for this. It is believed that Mr. Swanstadt is naturally good at giving in to anyone, including house elves. It is very possible that the Norwegian Ministry of Magic is secretly controlled by house elves. The Norwegian Ministry of Magic actually governs the entire Nordic wizarding world, and such a person serves as the Minister of Magic. It has to be worrying..."

Mu Yu didn't believe a word of it, at least he could use his brain to know that this was complete nonsense. After all, Arvids comes from a pure-blood family. With the usual character of a pure-blood family, he would openly admit that house elves are so strong that wizards are afraid that

she would put down the Daily Prophet. Such a report does not matter to her. of any value.

Daphne came closer. She glanced at the Daily Prophet that Mu Yu had put aside: "I saw it. Rita Skeeter started talking nonsense again."

"You hate her very much."

"She interviewed Dad. That One issue of Wizarding Weekly was unbearable. This lunatic described my father as an unscrupulous businessman who resold private goods to France, which led to the Ministry of Magic coming to my house to investigate. Many people liked reading her article, but I didn't like it at all. I don’t understand.”

Daphne didn’t want to mention Rita Skeeter at all: “I heard the news about the competition,” Daphne knew more about the inside story than she did, “Kyushu agreed that Ilvermorny from the United States would also apply to join. , If it weren’t for the pressure of the International Federation of Wizards, and if the Magic Institute and some other magic schools were reluctant to compete head-on with Kunlun, it would really have turned into a world championship. "

Ilvermorny's participation is very important to Mu. It was a complete surprise for Yu.

Apparently she wasn't the only one who thought this was a surprise.

"You can take care of these things as you see fit."

They always have a pile of homework before the Easter holidays, and homework is never something Mu Yu has to worry about. She was carefully studying the parchment in her hand, on which an extremely complex formation was depicted.

She was simulating Kunlun College's famous Five Elements Rotating Mountain Protection Formation. She had too many things to do, and deducing formations while discussing with Shen Xu was just one of them. Also mixed in the stack of books next to him was the letter that kept him in secret contact with Ivan. Ivan emerged as a candidate only recently.

He was careful and practical. Whether it was public opinions or secret information, he sorted it out and posted it one by one for her. Even so, she would now be halfway through it.

"They will be the first batch of people to get that spell, which means..."

"The first batch of the most devout believers. Use the sharing sessions of charity organizations to select suitable seedlings, and slowly implant the concept of gods and gods intentionally or unintentionally during the sharing sessions. Empathize with everyone's suffering, and the gods will lead people out of suffering. This is your specialty." Mu Yu seemed to be annoyed by what he said and reluctantly looked at the information about the four people he sent, "On the run. There are gangsters, down-and-out technicians, knowledgeable know-it-alls, and political losers who are desperate and are being hunted. There are really a lot of talents in the left-behind area."

Her last words always sounded a little unclear.

Shen Xu did not care about her suspicion: "You young people are always like this, but you are wrong about one thing. This is actually not my expertise. Most of the credit goes to Xiaoyi. Without him, the Shen family would not be able to achieve the goal secretly. to this scale."

His words seemed to be filled with pride, or at least trust, in his cousin. Mu Yu really found it hard to believe in the family ties within the clan, and they did not need to rely on family ties to keep them together. Sharing the same surname is the best restraint for them.

No matter how many conflicts there are between Shen Xu and Shen Yi in private, their attitude towards her must always be the same, just because she is a foreigner to them. This is the bottom line of the clan, a rule that no matter how powerful the contract is, is difficult to change.

However, Shen Yi seems to be not far away from betraying this rule...

She thought with some wickedness.

"With the help of the formation, I passed on each of their performances to you. I think we have shown enough sincerity," the second half of his sentence was very clear. Mu Yu put down what he was thinking about and looked at him intently. . Sure enough, the next second he said, "I need dementors."

He had hinted at Christmas, but now he made a direct request.

No matter how prepared the Shen family was over the years, there was still one spark missing that would ignite the left-behind area.

"Dementors are not cabbages. You can have them if you want them." She did not agree. "I am just an ordinary student going to school."

"Oh, you are not ordinary. I am not like some people in Kunlun who are deaf to the outside world. "There has been quite a commotion in the UK," Shen Xu said calmly, with a condescending smile that made her extremely disgusted, "For the first time in history, the Five Powers Tournament, the principals of the five parties brought the most elite students together. "Gather, I can even say that it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I were you, I would do something no matter what..."

He finished very skillfully: "Actually, there are other ways if there are no dementors. , I don’t care what deals you have reached in private, let alone, I am not a nosy old stubborn, young people always have to live their own lives, but if you can’t even provide this as an ally..." He laughed. She must be more and more cheerful, "I will doubt your ability."

When he first mentioned you two, Mu Yu almost crumpled the parchment into a ball, but his subsequent words slowly made her relax.

"Then I have nothing else to do. It seems you are about to celebrate Easter, have a happy holiday."

It was he who took the initiative to cut off the formation.

After the silver light of the formation dissipated, she put down the paper and pen in her hand, and the materials Shen Xu handed her appeared out of thin air in front of her. She waved her wand, and several lines of words on the materials were automatically re-edited and modified.

She sneered, this was Shen Xu's sincerity. He underestimated her control over the formation.

The last class before the holidays is the hardest, especially if it's Potions. The rest of the teachers at least let their students relax a little. And Snape seemed to be born with a lack of relaxation genes.

Mu Yu casually stirred the sobering potion, but his mind was not on it at all. There were too few people available, and many things she didn't need to worry about personally.

She didn't know why but she missed that desolate old house and wanted to go back immediately and sit in the armchair on the second floor and touch Nagini's cold body.

Daphne suddenly pushed her and she realized that she had almost overstirred the sobering potion.

Just at this time, Snape passed their table. His hooked nose came to the cauldron to look at it. His tone was terrifyingly low. Snape had been in a bad mood since Sirius Black was exonerated.

"Miss Mu, you don't have Easter eggs in your head like some fools." He got closer to the potion and smelled it again. "It's a qualified sobering agent, but it's not one-third of your usual level. It's not." , I would say less than one fifth."

Mu Yu didn't pay attention to his reproach and said meekly: "I will do it again, sir."

Snape looked at her deeply again: "That's true. No need." His black robes rolled in the direction of Neville Longbottom, and poor Neville was probably going to be in trouble again.

Since that time in the Screaming Shack, she had become more and more curious about his story.

After Potions class, she was eager to pack her things and go back to Riddle's old house. Harry suddenly caught up with her from behind: "Yu, thank you."

She said in confusion: "I don't understand, Harry."

Ha . Only then did Leigh realize that his behavior was very stupid. He was at the door of the Potions classroom, and even the Slytherin students had not completely dispersed. He hesitated in a low voice: "Yes, it's about the Dementors. You told me to use the strongest emotions to summon the deepest happiness. That, that night, I suddenly thought of your words, and then summoned the guardian God."

"I know. Your patron saint expelled hundreds of dementors," Mu Yu said with her usual gentle smile. "You don't have to thank me. I didn't do anything to summon you. Professor Lu Ping also taught me the Patronus well.

"That Patronus saved my life and that of my godfather," Harry said sincerely, looking directly into Mu Yu's eyes.

"Yours, godfather"

"Sirius Black is my godfather." Harry's whole body exuded joy at the mention of Sirius, "He has been wronged for twelve years, and he has finally been proven innocent. He You will go to the World Cup with me during the summer vacation. Yu, do you want to go with me?"

After Harry finished speaking, he realized that the last sentence was too rude, and he was embarrassed to find that he and Mu Yu were not that familiar.

However, Mu Yu never makes people feel embarrassed: "Thank you for the invitation, Harry. But I have already promised an elder. But we can always meet when the time comes."

If Harry knew that she was only a little short of the What would he think about killing his godfather? What did it matter about the temporary happiness? This was most likely the last summer vacation he would spend.

"Well, goodbye, Yu, happy Easter."

"You too." Mu Yu nodded to Ron and Hermione as they passed each other, and they both smiled back at her. The relationship between them got much better after the incident with the dementors on the train and the divination class.

It's all just illusions, and she will never miss them because of illusions. She quickened her pace back to the common room.

"She didn't choose to stay in school." Dumbledore stood in front of the pensieve again in the principal's office. He stared for a long time at the surface of the pensieve, deep in thought.

"No. She may very well choose to return to the Mu family's house in the UK, or she may travel around the UK. If you want to completely control her whereabouts, you must use the dark..." When he saw Dumbledore's eyes, he wisely chose not to say anything. Go down, "You went to Xianghai. Her hometown."

"Yu once encountered extremely terrible things in Xianghai," Dumbledore's voice sounded a little older, "Mu may have hidden more from me. . I went to the place where she once studied, and it was obvious that something had been covered up. If it weren’t for the Flower of the Other Side, I wouldn’t want to..."

He refused to continue.

Snape said slowly: "You never treat people easily with Legilimency, whether it is Muggles or wizards."

Dumbledore was no longer as kind as before. He solemnly said to Snape: "Severus , What's the difference between us and Voldemort?"

His hand slowly covered the pensieve: "No one can hide in the dark forever, as long as he wants something and takes action, then we will definitely be able to capture something about him. shadow."
