People's thoughts are spinning rapidly, and it only takes a few minutes for the collision of thoughts under the myriad of thoughts in the reality. When Malfoy's thoughts were surging, the girl who fought side by side just now also took the package that Malfoy said Come over and put it on the counter.
"Thank you." Malfoy thanked him, and then started to unwrap the package, revealing its contents.
The girl originally looked at him expectantly, thinking that he could come up with some precious magic items to solve the current crisis that had not completely disappeared, but she didn't get what she wanted, and when she saw it clearly, the expression on her face His expression froze suddenly, as if he couldn't laugh or cry.
"You have a piece, too. Fighting is exhausting." Malfoy took a piece of chocolate from the middle and handed it to her, then he tore a piece of chocolate, opened the package, and threw it into himself. mouth.
"What do you mean?" The girl did not accept his kindness, but asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you say that you will use the expulsion spell to solve your worries?"
"But I don't know that kind of spell either." Malfoy shrugged.
"Then why do you still..." Before the girl finished speaking, she heard some noises from the crowd behind her. She guessed that the dementors had made a comeback again. With a quick reaction, she immediately turned around and pointed her wand at the crowd , but she didn't cast a spell, because now she only saw some people starting to wake up slowly, with fear and worry still on their faces.
"Don't worry, they didn't come back." Malfoy patted her on the back lightly, and then said, "Actually, these things are for them." He pointed to the candies and chocolates and said, "Muggle science Studies have shown that chocolate has the function of making people feel happy. If you have listened to their chemistry class, you may know something like dopamine. These things largely control people’s emotions. For these people in front of them Say, it would be nice to have some chocolate."
"You don't need to show off your knowledge!" The girl snatched one of the packages and took it in her hand, then patted his hand off. Feeling angry, he walked towards the crowd and distributed chocolates to those who had woken up.
Malfoy wouldn't know why the comrade-in-arms who had a good chat just now got angry again, and he wouldn't know that now she was using anger to cover up her shame.
Just now, she only wanted to drive these nasty creatures out, but she didn't think of these innocent people at all. This shocked her who had received a good education since she was a child. Her parents taught her to see difficulties when she was a child. The weak should lend a helping hand, and she herself feels that she has done a good job in normal times, for example, she took the lead in the team just now, although the result was not very good, but she still has a clear conscience.
But just after the battle just now, she didn't think about the comatose crowd at all, she just thought about herself, thinking about what to do if those dementors came back again, thinking about how the boy would solve it possible subsequent crisis.
"When did I become so selfish?" She asked herself, and at the same time, she had a better impression of Malfoy. He was calm and composed when accidents happened, and while capable, he never forgot to help others even in times of crisis.
"Just now he asked me to go in to get things, maybe it was to protect me, lest the dementors come back and I can't solve it." She thought to herself again,
When a person's inherent impression of another person is formed, it is easy to have a bias in his perception, and some normal behaviors will also be over-interpreted.
In fact, Malfoy himself didn't think so much, but he must be able to deal with it himself. If the girl in front of him used the Patronus Charm better than him, he wouldn't mind serving as a back-up for a "soft meal".
As pieces of chocolate were handed out, there was a sincere thank you, which made her a little happy, but also a little embarrassed. After all, the owner of these foods is not her, and the advice is not given by her. She is only responsible for the food. distribution.
Malfoy was not idle either, he also took the leftover food and handed it around to those who had woken up, and there were also some grateful eyes and words.
"Ka Ka Ka." Suddenly, the silver door that was closed just now to drive away the dementors began to shake again and a crack opened.
This time, Malfoy and the girl raised their wands at the same time, and several wizards who had just woken up also took out their wands, hoping to do their part.
The expected black cloak did not appear, but a human head protruded, with some curly gray hair.
After confirming that the creature trying to come in was human, they all put down their wands.
"I'm sorry." The man who opened the door and entered glanced at the scene. Then he bowed deeply to everyone.
Only now did Malfoy have time to observe this man. He was wearing a dark green coat and a pinstriped robe, but it didn't match his short and stocky figure. As for this face, Malfoy had seen it several times in the Daily Prophet. time.
Incompetent Bureaucrats - Cornelius Fudge
Then it was the same routine used by bureaucrats in various countries. He first introduced his identity, and then showed that due to his management mistakes, the dementors who should have been disciplined and obeyed suddenly ran away, and did not obey orders. caused this accident.
Every politician is a born actor. He arrived at the scene immediately to express his attitude. A seemingly sincere apology, coupled with a painful face of self-blame, made many victims feel embarrassed even if they were full of anger. loose the temper.
Instead, he felt that he dared to take responsibility.
"Then you have to thank these two children." A middle-aged man said. "If they hadn't chased away those two dementors, we might still be lying on the ground and sleeping."
"Yes, yes, you have to reward them both well. I don't mind apologizing. Anyway, what a politician says is better than farting." These were the words of a fat middle-aged woman, although they were vulgar but not unreasonable.
The other people who have woken up also started talking with each other, probably saying something like rewarding them well.
Fudge was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Where are they? Are they still on the scene? I will definitely tell Principal Dumbledore to ask him to add some points to their house."
He didn't think there were any other students besides Hogwarts who could deal with these dementors. Since the person mentioned the child, he must not be too old. As a human being, the Minister of Magic naturally made the most normal guess.
"Then there's no need." The girl pulled Malfoy and took a step forward, showing their identities. Malfoy didn't want to show off, but after thinking about it, he let her pull him out.
Before Fudge had time to praise them, the girl spoke first, her voice was sweet and moving, but it was a pity that Fudge sounded like a curse.
"This time I encountered such a thing at the Gringotts branch in the UK. I think I complained to the Department of International Magical Cooperation in my country after returning home."
As soon as the words fell, Fudge's dry smile immediately stopped smiling. He wanted to calm things down, but he didn't expect that he was so lucky that he even involved international friends. The saying that diplomacy is no small matter is not only in the Muggle society Worked.
He, who was already devastated by Black's escape from prison, felt that his political career might really be coming to an end.
"However, I think it's troublesome to complain. I think if I'm in a good mood now, maybe I'll forget about it when I return to France." The girl clapped her hands, and the sudden turning point made Fudge feel disappointed jump up.
Before Fudge could speak again, the girl continued speaking on her own. "The solution to this accident is all due to him. I don't need your reward if I don't have any contribution. If you can satisfy him, then I should also forget what I should forget."
Then Malfoy was pushed in front of her.
"Uncle Fudge, hello." Malfoy showed a polite and standard smile, and looked at the man in front of him.
