But Mrs. Weasley loved the necklace.
"It must cost a lot of money, right?"
“No need. I had Patchi find large gemstones and then made them one by one. I think you, Madam, would like this style of necklace.”
Mrs. Weasley blushed and looked at Mr. Weasley.
Mr. Weasley blushed as well.
Darren suspected they had discovered an indescribable use for the large gemstone, but he dared not think about it further.
Just as he was about to say something about the Father, he saw Mrs. Weasley's face turn pale and panicked.
"Arthur, Arthur, is it West? West is back?"
Yes, Percy is back.
He came with Minister Rufus Scrinzer.
After an awkward silence.
Percy awkwardly called out, "Merry Christmas, Mom."
Mrs. Weasley burst into tears.
Fred and George watched him warily.
"What are you doing back?"
Percy remained silent.
Rufus laughed, leaning on his cane.
“We’re on business around here, and Percy wants to come back to see you… You should spend some time with him, so I won’t bother you any longer.”
There is no problem with Rufus's words at present.
Mrs. Weasley became excited.
However, Rufus's next words immediately created tension.
He looked at Harry and Darren and said, "I need someone to accompany me for a walk in the garden. Would you two lads like to keep me company?"
It is certainly inappropriate to refuse a sitting minister.
Harry and Darren both agreed.
But it's obvious to everyone that Rufus's words were just an excuse.
The whole "Percy wants to come back" thing is just Rufus wanting to find Harry and Darren.
Lupin was trying to stand up.
But Darren pressed down on his shoulder.
"fine."
He and Harry went outside.
Rufus followed him out.
He seemed completely unaware that everyone here, including all the goblins in the house, did not welcome him.
Rufus stood in the garden.
There was silence.
Then he looked at Darren and Harry.
“I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time, but Dumbledore stopped me… There was a rumor at the time that Harry was the ‘savior’.”
At that time, I was thinking, "If Harry were to publicly declare that the Ministry of Magic is trustworthy, you would definitely lead everyone to victory in this competition, and the situation in the wizarding world would be much better."
Harry remained silent.
Rufus didn't care.
He then looked at Darren.
“I know you, Darren. You are almost the strongest man after Dumbledore and Mystic.”
No need to deny it, I checked your strength crystal ball, and in the second year, you far surpassed us.
I've heard your dream is to become an Auror, and I think you could come to the Ministry of Magic right now. What do you think?
Darren opened his mouth, as if he was about to object.
Harry suddenly said angrily, "I know what you're thinking. You just want Darren to work for you. You know he's naive and easy to fool."
In reality, you'd only send him to face the mysterious man, wouldn't you?
You want him to die, and then you say it was his own choice, not because of you!
Rufus frowned.
“Harry, I’m not that extreme…”
"No? What do you think is the difference between you and Fudge? He gave me a scar, and he told me not to lie."
And you? You captured Stansang Parker, you knew perfectly well that he wasn't a Death Eater and that he wasn't under the Imperius Curse, but you didn't care, you just wanted your political achievements!
I would never let Darren risk his life for you, even if he agreed!
If he agrees, I'll threaten him with myself..."
Rufus was amused by his childishness.
"sound……"
Darren interrupted him.
He raised Harry's hand.
Show Rufus the line of text on the back of Harry's hand.
I will never lie again.
"If you are a righteous person, then why didn't you speak out last year?"
Yes, I've told others that I want to be an Auror, but I don't want to be an Auror of the Ministry of Magic; I only want to be an Auror of justice!

[bite……]
Rufus's smile froze.
He looked at Darren.
They gradually became serious.
"It seems you're determined not to work for me?"
"Yes, just as my brother said, we won't help you unless I see changes in the Ministry of Magic!"

"Looks like Dumbledore did a good job brainwashing you!"
Rufus scoffed.
As Harry hesitated, Darren sneered, "That's right, very well brainwashed. We are Dumbledore's men through and through!"

Chapter 652 You've Brainwashed Us!!
A few days after Christmas, Harry and his friends lined up, ready to use Floo Powder to return to school.
To ensure the safety of students, Hogwarts specifically enabled this ability.
Mrs. Weasley kept crying.
Because of Percy's coming and going that day, she was in a bad mood.
Now we face separation from Darren and the others.
She hugged Harry and the others, and finally arrived at Darren.
