Chapter 1020: Rumors and refutations!!

Because of Dumbledore's help in writing a letter of explanation, plus Filch's interception (mainly this one).

A rumor takes a mouth, refuting it takes running your legs off.

Anyway, Hermione never received those letters insulting her again.

But because of Darren's attention to this matter.

Hermione began to think very seriously about what form Rita Skeeter's Animagus was.

When she discussed it with Darren, she analyzed seriously: "She was able to know that Hagrid's mother was a giant, it's very clear she was in the garden at the time.

Actually, the garden isn't that big, if you look over it at a glance and don't find anyone, then there is no one.

Hagrid and the others are too tall, they might not necessarily notice students or other people, but we are all of normal height, so if there is someone, we should be able to discover them."

Hermione's analysis was correct.

However, there was no clue.

Because Rita Skeeter could very likely be any kind of animal in the garden.

And Animagus was also just their guess, this hadn't been confirmed, which made them even more tangled.

And besides this, what made Harry and the others helpless was that Darren started to think Snape was a good person again.

Because at the time, Snape clearly allowed Darren to leave the school, which made Darren very grateful.

Although Harry was also surprised why Snape would agree, he still believed that Snape must have a conspiracy.

Even if there was no conspiracy.

Then it could only be that Snape didn't want to manage this matter.

So he agreed to Darren leaving the castle.

But no matter what, Darren believed this was proof of Snape being a good person.

Harry and the others wanted so much to bring out proof of Snape's wrongdoing to let Darren properly recognize this venomous professor.

But they couldn't produce evidence, this was truly a very sad story.

Fortunately, Percy's letter diverted his attention.

Percy's reply was placed together with the Easter egg.

Harry, Darren, and Ron all received an especially large egg.

Their eggs were dragons and lions.

And they were filled with toffee made by Mrs. Weasley.

Only Hermione received an especially small egg.

It might have been smaller than a chicken egg.

She looked at this egg sadly.

She said with tears in her eyes: "Mrs. Weasley doesn't read the Daily Prophet too, does she?"

This was a matter of course.

Otherwise, Mrs. Weasley couldn't have known that Harry was jealous of Darren and was crying under his covers at night.

However, these things were not important to Hermione.

Although she valued Mrs. Weasley's opinion, it wasn't as important as in the original book.

After all, in the original book, she liked Ron, so she would value his mother's opinion very much.

Now she didn't like Ron, so her opinion of Ron's mother was just average.

So she was just a little sad for a while, and then thought of another thing.

"Quick, open Percy's letter and let me see!"

Ron hurriedly opened Percy's letter. He read it once, and then handed it to Darren.

Darren lowered his head to look.

Percy's letter had no honorifics.

As I have always told the Daily Prophet, I really don't have news about Mr. Crouch.

He hasn't had any news since you started school at Christmas, but I believe I wouldn't recognize my superior's handwriting incorrectly.

He is sick, yet he is still planning work like this; I think the Ministry of Magic should rate Mr. Crouch as a model worker.

Also, tell Darren that I am very fond of his performance in the second task.

I think, if one wants to become a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, one should do as Darren did, whether it is buying people's hearts or being truly kind.

Without a doubt, he did the best.

At the time, I wanted to praise him, but I thought saying such things in that situation would be unfavorable to his reputation.

But privately, I must praise him.

I think, Ron, you should learn from Darren, otherwise I wouldn't mind Darren becoming the eighth child in our family!

The letter ended here.

Harry and the others looked at each other.

Regarding the news about Crouch, they thought it was enough to tell Black directly.

But Percy's evaluation of Darren made them really go crazy.

"Why does everything taste different when it comes out of Percy's mouth? Darren is clearly kind, but when it's said in his mouth, it becomes suitable for entering the Ministry of Magic.

I can't imagine Darren becoming like Percy, then I would really go crazy!"

Ron said speechlessly.

Harry shivered fiercely.

Because he had already started imagining a Percy-version of Darren.

No way.

He almost thought Darren had been swapped!

"Darren, don't listen to Percy, do whatever you want to do.

If possible, I really want all the people in the wizarding world to be honest and obedient, so that everyone won't bully you!"

Hermione said angrily.

Darren indicated that he was very strong and wouldn't be bullied by anyone, but they just didn't believe it.

Hermione was already considering the possibility of her becoming the Minister for Magic.

Darren felt there should be no problem.

After all, as long as she participated in the final battle, she would have the qualifications to be an Auror.

Plus, he considered his own conditions not bad, so he believed Hermione had the qualifications to be Minister for Magic.

And Hermione's strength was outstanding; as long as she wanted to do it, it would definitely be no problem.

However, after he finished thinking, he felt speechless.

Good guy, they were already discussing things for the future.

But his calmness didn't mean it was Harry and the others' calmness.

They had already started discussing what should be done if Hermione wanted to become Minister for Magic.

It wasn't until they argued their way to Hagrid's hut that they stopped.

Mainly because Hagrid saw them coming to class and took out a large insulated box. ===== CHAPTER 1022 =====
