Because we got on the train just before departure, there were basically no empty compartments at this time...but there was no need.
After walking forward for a while, they met Cedric, who had just come out of a box next to him and was about to walk towards the front of the car.
"Oh, Mr. Cedric." Fred trotted and stopped in front of him, bowed and saluted, "It's an honor to meet you here."
"It's such an honor." George followed closely.
Cedric took a half step back cautiously.
"You two are up to something bad again."
After spending several years together, he knows the brothers' personalities very well.
It can be said that from the subconscious smile that Fred showed when he saw him just now, Cedric could tell whether it was the joy of reunion after a long separation, or a disguise with ulterior motives.
And the answer is obviously the latter.
Being so polite, I can tell at first glance that there is something wrong.
"It's faded, the feelings have faded."
Fred sighed and said, "You used to run over to hug us, but just now you took a step back."
"We've become estranged." George looked distressed. "You weren't like this before you became a prefect."
"Of course, George," said Fred. "Cedric Prefect would be more interested in being friends with Percy now."
"Be friends with Percy?" Fred stared in horror. "Then you will have to hold that book 'How Prefects Gain Power' all the time."
"I'm afraid that's right," George nodded seriously.
"Kyle, you must never be a prefect in the future."
"Because it would make your life very boring."
Kyle, who was happily watching the show, suddenly couldn't laugh anymore... He didn't say a word, so how could he be innocently implicated?
He is only in the fourth grade, and Fred and George are already thinking about next year for him? How much hatred do these two brothers have for the "prefects"! "What are you talking about?"
At this time, Cedric frowned and looked at them with disdain and said, "Also, how did you know that I became a prefect? I don't think I told you."
As I said, after spending so much time together, Cedric knew the personalities of his two friends very well.
And this is not the first or second time they have mocked Percy.
So he had no intention of telling them about this from the beginning, thinking that he could delay it for as long as possible. Even when he came out just now, he didn't wear his prefect badge.
"Do I need to tell you that?" Fred rolled his eyes. "You have been the top student in the grade for four consecutive years. Who else can be the prefect except you?"
"I guess you have never been to the Ministry of Magic before." George suddenly couldn't help laughing. "There are two most frequently mentioned pieces of news in the Ministry of Magic right now."
"Sirius Black, who escaped from prison..."
"And you became the new prefect..."
"Mr. Diggory is amazing," said Fred. "His publicity power alone is comparable to that of the Daily Prophet."
Cedric's face turned red immediately. "He clearly promised me before that he wouldn't tell anyone."
Kyle shook his head.
Cedric was still too naive, it was just like not letting Percy show off his Head Boy badge... it was impossible!
"So, you're going to the prefects' box now?" Kyle asked.
"I didn't want to go," Cedric said, "but Percy reminded me three times in five minutes and told me to go."
"Then go ahead." George patted his shoulder. "Oh, by the way, remember to ask him whether the previous male student union president also told others that he had an extremely large head."
"And wearing it on your chest... I personally think that's a little funny."
"What are you doing here?"
At this moment, Percy suddenly appeared behind them.
"What are you talking about just now is ridiculous..."
Percy frowned, his instinct telling him that there was something wrong with Fred and George, but he couldn't put his finger on what.
"I warn you, you'd better behave yourself, otherwise..."
"Deduction of points?"
"Or detention?"
"We just talked for a while in the hallway," Fred said. "It shouldn't be against school rules."
"I'll be watching you..."
Percy looked unhappy. He ignored the two and looked at Cedric. "Come quickly. I have to announce something for the professor. I'm waiting for you."
Cedric spread his hands and followed him towards the front of the car.
Afterwards, Kyle and his friends found the box he came out of.
Connor and Cho were already inside, as were Ginny and Luna.
Four girls were sitting together, watching The Quibbler, but except for Luna, the other three were obviously not very interested.
When Kyle and the others came in, Qiu even yawned.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
"Some...very interesting conjectures."
Connor whispered, "This magazine says that Sirius Black was actually released by Fudge on purpose in order to secretly eliminate those who did not support him."
"Perhaps this is the truth." Luna raised her head and said, "Otherwise why did the Ministry of Magic look for him for a month and find nothing?"
"What about this..." Ginny craned her neck and read: "There may be some unknown relationship between Sirius Black and Fudge.
After Fudge took office, he was restricted in every way and was unpopular, so Black voluntarily gave up his free life and entered Azkaban at the risk of death, in order to help Fudge to win over those heinous criminals.
After more than ten years, he may have formed a secret army to clear obstacles for Fudge, and all those who opposed him were controlled by poison.
But Fudge couldn't bear to let Black stay in that dark place any longer, so he secretly released him...Their feelings were much deeper than we thought."
Kyle smacked his lips.
What is this, the story that Blake and Fudge had to tell? Whoever wrote this is amazing.
Blake's expression would be quite interesting if he saw this.
It's a pity that The Quibbler didn't sell very well; it would have been better if it had been published in the Daily Prophet.
"But everyone knows that Sirius Black is a Death Eater." Ginny asked in confusion, "How could he be Fudge's man?"
"That's just the surface identity." Luna said, "The sender mentioned that Black was the only Death Eater who had not been tried. This is probably because Fudge used his privilege to manipulate the case behind the scenes."
"But he wasn't a minister at that time."
"It happened later," Luna said, "and there was no competition."
The carriage was silent.
Why does it feel like... At first glance, it seems to make sense. If they hadn't known about Blake's deeds for a long time, they might have believed it.
Kyle couldn't help but shake his head, and he thought of an episode of "The Quibbler" a few years ago.
At that time, there was an article saying that Fudge asked the Department of Mysteries to develop a poison for him specifically to control those who opposed him.
Diana was so angry at the time that she almost took her wand to Mr. Lovegood for a talk.
I didn't expect that after a few years, this content would still be connected... It turns out that the poison used by Black was developed by the Department of Mysteries.
No wonder Chris said before that foreign wizards might like this magazine. This kind of love, hate, and gossip about the Minister of Magic is really interesting to read as entertainment. And if this person is a minister from other countries, the fun will be doubled.
After all, they don’t know much about other countries, so they don’t need to use their brains when reading, they just enjoy it.
