Chapter 217: The First Battle with Father-in-law is a Success
Fortunately, in the dim firelight, Draco's lonely wait did not last too long.
Mr. Weasley was obviously not in the mood to work, and he ran down again after leaving for more than ten minutes.
The hearing ended much faster than expected. In less than half an hour, the iron door opened again and Dumbledore walked out cheerfully.
"Dun no—"
"Arthur? It's a nice day, isn't it?"
Dumbledore smiled, strode up the stairs, and said nothing more.
But when his eyes met Draco's, Draco could incredibly see through his thoughts.
It was as if he was deliberately showing me an idea.
---
"Harry would want to tell you himself."
For this reason alone, Dumbledore chose not to explain the results to Mr. Weasley.
Draco used all his strength to prevent the corners of his mouth from rising, knowing that Dumbledore would be able to see through his excitement under the invisibility cloak.
But even so, he couldn't help but feel excited. On the one hand, he was grateful for Dumbledore's kindness, and on the other hand, he smiled at the old headmaster's playfulness.
This way, she still knew what the outcome would be, didn't she?
Not long after Dumbledore hurried away, the iron door opened again, and Harry appeared with a look of surprise on his face.
"Harry! What's going on? Dumbledore didn't say." Mr. Weasley stepped forward nervously and shook Harry's shoulders.
"Removed, of all charges," Harry announced.
He spoke with unreal joy in his heart.
His eyes passed over Mr. Weasley, as if tracking Draco's direction.
Draco was hiding by the door.
He was afraid that the door of the courtroom would open again and the Wizengamot judges would bump into him when they walked out.
Her mind was also busy.
While sharing Harry's joy, she also wanted to secretly remember Harry's eager look for her.
Wizards and witches from the Wizengamot filed out.
Perhaps it was because he saw the Wizengamot assembled for trial, just for a case of underage wizards abusing magic, that Mr. Weasley seemed too shocked and could only repeatedly shout "Merlin's beard..."
Fudge and Umbridge looked very grim.
He walked straight upstairs without looking back, accompanied by the arrogant Percy.
It was then that Draco realized that the pretentious idiot from the Weasley family had betrayed his family for his own fame and fortune.
She felt a little contemptuous in her heart, and suddenly she realized that Mr. Weasley was already leading Harry upstairs. She looked around in a panic and hurried to catch up.
Perhaps because the trial result was not as good as the Minister of Magic expected, not many wizards chose to leave immediately.
This made Draco's secret tracking process much easier.
At least, I don't have to worry about bumping into someone and arousing suspicion. I just climbed to the ninth floor and before I even reached the elevator, I saw my father and Fudge.
"Ah... Potter..." Lucius' tone was lazy and cold.
"The Minister just told me that you have once again narrowly escaped death."
Listening to his father's malicious sarcasm, Draco frowned slightly, somewhat worried that Harry would say something impulsive in response.
Mr. Weasley pressed his hands tightly on Harry's shoulders and tapped him lightly with his fingertips, as if warning Harry not to act rashly.
"Yeah, yeah," said Harry.
"I'm pretty good at running away."
Harry's tone was unexpectedly calm, which surprised Draco. He guessed that perhaps the joy after being acquitted diluted his possible anger.
"And you, Arthur Weasley, what are you doing here?"
Lucius seemed to no longer be paying attention to Harry, and instead looked at Mr. Weasley.
"I work here," said Mr. Weasley.
"Not this floor?" Lucius chuckled.
"I remember your office is supposed to be somewhere... where you handle more trivial matters?"
Listening to his father's almost rude speech, Draco couldn't help rolling his eyes under the invisibility cloak.
Although he knew that he just wanted to end this unpleasant encounter as soon as possible, Draco still didn't understand why his father always acted so arrogantly.
"So what are you doing here?"
Harry's blunt temper could no longer be contained, and he asked loudly.
"I don't think it's your place to ask about the private affairs between me and the Minister, Potter."
Lucius said softly, his eyes darkening.
"Minister, perhaps we should head to your office."
Lucius said, unbuttoned his robe sleeves and turned away.
To Draco's surprise, his father did not continue to ridicule Harry.
Fudge ignored Harry and Mr. Weasley and walked towards the side of the corridor.
Draco quickly moved closer to Harry, stood on tiptoes, and boldly pecked him lightly on the cheek.
"I'm going to go find Dad. I look forward to seeing you at school."
Even though she was wearing a cloak, her face still blushed with embarrassment.
When Draco heard his father's cold mockery of Harry, he remembered the guilt he felt for secretly following Harry, which made him feel even hotter all over.
He ran into the elevator without looking back, trying to catch up with his father.
She didn't dare to imagine what kind of smug expression Harry would have after being kissed by her.
I came to the first basement floor, walked past the Minister of Magic's office, and came to my father's special office.
After closing the door, I took off my cloak and saw my mother sitting elegantly in front of the window.
The emotions of shame and embarrassment finally emerged, and he threw himself into his mother's arms as if he had returned to his childhood.

"Is he alright?"
Narcissa smiled and hugged her daughter in her arms. She felt her daughter blushing and nodding.
"Okay, get up now. No matter what you do, I won't tell your dad."
She patted her daughter's shoulder, regaining her dignity as the hostess of a noble family, and spoke softly.
"But Fudge may come in with your father at any moment. Be good, understand?"
After hearing his mother's instructions, Draco sat up and focused on adjusting his mood.
At the same time, she straightened her appearance while breathing. When Lucius and Fudge walked in, the mother and daughter were sitting in front of the window with elegant temperament.
The sunlight from the magical sky streamed down the window sill, reflecting the golden and white hair of Narcissa and Draco.
"Come in, Minister."
Seeing Fudge's dumbfounded look, Lucius smiled and asked Fudge to sit next to the mother and daughter.
"A bunch of wimps who are afraid of Dumbledore."
Before Lucius sat down, Fudge complained impatiently.
On the way upstairs, Fudge had already conveyed all his indignation to Lucius.
In his eyes, the failure of the trial meant that Dumbledore's authority in the wizarding world was ultimately higher than his own.
Dumbledore has already been removed from his position as Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, but this group of rigid people are still indifferent.
What's worse is that this matter has become the focus of gossip in the Ministry of Magic. The whispers in the Ministry now are that the Minister has definitely made every possible effort, but still lost shamefully to Dumbledore.
A new book is out, "HP: I Became Harry's Villainous Cousin", which unfolds from the perspectives of Harry and Dudley, with occasional mentions of Draco (Draco). It's not a minotaur, but still Harry x Draco, and Dudley's CP is someone else. There are hints in the text, plenty of fighting scenes, and a light novel with a rant! If you're interested, click on my avatar to read it!
Data: I feel sad after talking so much, I hope things will be better in the next two days, it’s Friday
I am still asking for gifts (recently, there are very few people who have sent me power for love. I have sent dozens of requests for updates but few have sent me power for love. Of course, there are also very few people who have sent me power for love). I am asking for various free and paid gifts!!! Please send some power for love! (You can send three!) I really beg you. Paid gifts are useless, but free gifts are fine! Comparing the thank you posts from the past two weeks, you can see that the free gifts have dropped by a lot! Thank you all for your support!
The plan for additional chapters is still the same (it is still for the love of electricity. If the amount reaches 100 yuan within a week, the additional chapter will be given, and each love of electricity author can get 1)
