Harry and the others were quick to react.
However, when they rushed back down from the fourth floor, the square hall at the entrance of St. Mungo's was already crowded with the families of the victims, the slightly injured and St. Mungo's nurses. .
They only left a small space for Minister Bones, who was dressed in solemn black clothes, his head was covered with a bloody bandage, and Mad-Eye.
There was no room on the first floor, so they had to stand on the stairs and watch Minister Bones shaking hands with the wounded one by one. The noise made it difficult for them to hear what Minister Bones was saying. say something.
"Why did Professor Moody follow Minister Bones?"
Harry muttered.
During this month at Grimmauld Place, whenever they called Professor Mad-Eye, he would angrily yell at them, reminding them that he did not actually teach at Hogwarts. Spend a day reading.
But people like Harry still used to call him professor.
"My situation is that I can only take leave for the time being-"
Sirius's voice suddenly appeared behind them,
"But the minister's safety is the most important thing So I asked Alastor to cover my shift for a few days."
"Why is Minister Bones here, Sirius?"
Hermione raised her eyebrows. jaw.
"Of course it's condolences."
Xiao,
"We have suffered a heavy loss, haven't we?"
Many people are sending their condolences to Minister Bones waved, but Harry just watched the scene calmly.
If Cornelius Fudge was doing this, Harry would definitely think he was just showing off.
Minister Bones, who was surrounded by a crowd below, with determination in her brows and eyes. When she faced the wounded and their families, the sadness and anger in her eyes could not be hidden from the eyes of many people.
"She looks much older than she did during the Triwizard Tournament——"
Ron's sudden emotion also reminded Harry.
Indeed, compared to a month ago.
The wrinkles on Minister Bones’ forehead and corners of her eyes have become much more obvious, and her hair has turned a lot grayer. It looks like she has aged ten years in this month.
"After all, we are in a war era, and a tough Minister of Magic needs to withstand a lot of pressure and criticism-"
Sirius sighed.
"She shouldn't have appeared here -"
Harry's abrupt words made Neville look stunned,
"Why?"
"There may be Voldemort's minions here, and they may take the opportunity to attack her."
Harry thought of the Death Eater he saw here yesterday who was recognized by Mrs. Weasley. .
This is not groundless conjecture. Harry's reminder does have a certain possibility. Sirius frowned upon hearing this, and his wary eyes scanned the crowd below.
And right nowAt this time, a woman holding a child suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed towards Minister Bones desperately!
Mad-Eye was indeed an experienced Auror. Even in this chaotic environment, he still reacted immediately, took a step across, and pointed the wand between the eyebrows of the witch who rushed up. !
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the noisy people quickly quieted down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
"Come on, Alastor--"
Minister Bones's voice finally reached their ears.
"I believe this lady is not trying to harm me, right?"
Looking at the sad witch, and the tense atmosphere in her arms, I was so frightened that I forgot to cry. As a child, Minister Bones’ resolute eyebrows softened a little.
Flicking Alastor's arm away, under the gaze of the people, Minister Bones gently held the tearful witch's arm holding the child, and asked gently,
"You want to say something to me, right, ma'am?"
The witch was obviously an ordinary person. The pressure mixed with the attention of everyone and the sadness in her heart, facing the Minister of Magic's When asked, she could not utter a word, just sobbed sadly.
"I - my husband is - is, Cush Tucker, Minister"
Under the constant comfort and encouragement of Minister Bones, the tearful The witch finally spoke.
Kush Tucker.
Harry had no recollection of this name at all, and he was sure that Minister Bones had never heard of it either.
Minister Bones did not ask who Cush Tucker was, and there was no need to ask what happened to this unknown wizard now. Everything was obvious.
"Your husband must love you and the children very much-"
Minister Bones just took a deep breath and said,
"I believe he is I went to the battlefield for you and the child, right?"
The witch burst into tears, and Harry tried hard to open his ears and could barely hear what she was saying intermittently.
"Kush, we are all very happy. He has become a hitter in the ministry. We have been living in a difficult situation before, woo woo -
Oh, I advised him not to go, But Dan Kush said to me that he should go and join the resistance, such as--if the mysterious man wins, wizards like us will become slaves."
Harry was immediately surprised by the man named Kush Tower The wizard of Ke stood in awe!
"What should I call you, ma'am?"
Minister Bones listened to all her words, and after a moment of silence, she asked.
"Nami Nami Rose, Minister--"
"Nami--"
Minister Bones made his voice louder,
"First of all, please allow me to pay tribute to your husband, Mr. Cush Tucker, who is without a doubt a warrior and aA hero, even if he may not be an outstanding wizard, his courage to fight against evil is admirable. The Ministry of Magic is proud to have an employee like Mr. Cush Tucker! "
This Ms. Nami Rose can't even stand up. Alastor and Rufus can only help support her arms.
"Secondly, I want to Let me tell you, Nami. Don't worry about your future life.
The Ministry of Magic will reward Mr. Cush Tucker for his bravery, and you will receive a considerable amount of gold, enough to ensure your future life
Your children , regardless of whether she is allowed to study at Hogwarts in the future, the Ministry of Magic will arrange a well-paid job for her when she becomes an adult. "
Minister Bones raised his head and suppressed his surging emotions,
"Not only Mr. Cush Tucker, but also all the wizards who died on the battlefield yesterday. will receive such compensation.
For wizards who participated in the war or were injured or disabled in the war, you are all brave fighters. The Ministry of Magic will award you medals of courage and generous bonuses! ”
“Bellatrix will be furious knowing that the gold she inherited was used by the Ministry of Magic to reward wizards who resisted Voldemort. "
Sirius hummed twice with pleasure.
"Everyone, Mr. Cush Tucker's words told the magic world why we want to start a war. "
Minister Bones straightened her posture, her eyes were burning, and she looked around everyone,
"The evil forces will not feel mercy because of our surrender, nor will they show mercy because of our surrender. Our concessions will stop pushing the envelope.
The true goal of those wizards who have been dormant in the darkness is to dominate our world with hegemony and turn us all into slaves! "
Harry stared blankly at the impassioned Minister Bones, feeling that the blood in his body was rushing!
"Everyone, no one wants to see their loved ones and friends die. During the war, no one saw that our prosperous magical world was wailing in the flames of war! "
Minister Bones's eyes were filled with anger and his voice was deafening.
"But for ourselves and for our descendants to be respected, not in a world dominated by privilege. Treated as slaves, we must fight to the end and the Ministry of Magic will never surrender to Voldemort! ”
