The Most Important Speech In Life; Minister Fudge's Request!

"Is Mr. Grindelwald here?"

Mr. Granger's voice can be heard inside the house.

"Yes dad!" Hermione responded and led Lucas into the living room.

The Grangers sat upright as they looked at the two teens with very serious expressions.

Although he has experienced a lot of things in his life, it was the first time for Lucas to experience such a thing with his girlfriend's parents, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

"Sit down, Mr. Grindelwald."

"Oh, you can just call me Lucas"

When Lucas was about to take his seat, he suddenly remembered that he was still carrying gifts.

"Uncle, Aunt, here are some gifts for you."

The Grangers smiled at each other, they were young once too.

They are too familiar with the way their daughter and Lucas are acting, but even if the two of them understand, being a parent, they still worry about their daughter.

What's more, she is still so young.

"Well, thank you Lucas."

Mr. Granger thanked, and his wife took the gift and went to another room.

"Hermione, go help your mother."

Looking at her father's serious expression, Hermione stole a look at Lucas.

Until he saw him giving her a reassuring look, she then left with her mother.

In the huge living room, there were only two men left.

Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, first of all I want to apologize to you."

"No, it should be us thanking you, thank you for taking care of us in Paris, and my daughter, thank you for befriending and taking care of her at school.

Mr. Granger had just finished speaking when his wife came over.

But the figure of Hermione was still missing.

Lucas knew that Mrs. Granger must have told Hermione to stay away for now.

"Uncle, Aunt, I came to England from Austria two years ago and met Hermione at King's Cross Station."

"Our first meeting is something difficult to forget, her innocence and intelligence deeply attracted me, and I understand the worries of both of you."

"We are still young, and we will face many uncertainties in the future, but please believe me, I am serious about Hermione."

"So please rest assured, because of family reasons, I understood what responsibility is earlier than others."

The Grangers listened quietly to Lucas' story.

The two looked at each other again, exchanging opinions with each other using their eyes.

Seeing this, Lucas continued: "I know you two are reluctant to part with Hermione, especially in the future, because of our identities, we may not be able to see each other often."

"But I can assure you both that everything will be done according to Hermione's wishes. Even if she wants to leave the magic world, I am willing to live a normal life with her."

"So I hope that you two can give me a chance, and I hope that you can hand Hermione to me, and let me take good care of her for the rest of my life."

Whether the Grangers were impressed is unclear.

But Miss Hermione Granger, who was hiding on the second floor and eavesdropping, was very moved.

She knew Lucas always kept his word, but she also knows how much responsibility he has to bear.

The huge Saints Group needs him to lead them, and many elderly in the group need his care.

But Lucas made that promise to her parents.

"Fool, how could I be willing to take you away from your life."

Hermione muttered to herself, and quietly went downstairs.

When she showed up in the living room, Lucas was drinking tea with her parents.

"Father, mother, what are you doing?"

"You invited Lucas for lunch, you and your mother go and arrange it."

Seeing her father wink at her, Hermione smiled sweetly. She nodded excitedly, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at the happy appearance of their daughter, the Grangers shook their heads helplessly.

Waiting until the two leave, Mr. Granger said in a low voice: "From the day we learned that Hermione was a witch, I knew that she would belong to that world in the future."

"In the past two years, I have always followed her to visit the world of wizards, just wanting to know more about the place where she will live in the future."

"Last year, I saw your store opening, and the unprecedented grandeur is still vivid in my memory."

"Lucas, I will leave my daughter to you. Please take care of her in that dangerous world. This is a father's request to you."

After lunch, Hermione and Lucas walked around the neighborhood holding hands.

She was very curious about the conversation between Lucas and her father.

Lucas doesn't even know how many times she asked along the way.

"You really want to know?"

Hermione nodded repeatedly, the curiosity in her eyes seemed to overflow.

Lucas approached slowly and whispered in her ear: "Mr. Granger asked me to promise that we will not mess around until you come of age."

boom!

Hermione's face turned red all of a sudden.

Just when she was planning to teach the nasty guy in front of her a good lesson, her mouth was suddenly sealed by soft lips.

Lucas felt very good when he returned to his home.

Unfortunately he didn't have the chance to stay happy for long, because someone from the Ministry of Magic came to invite him.

"Minister Fudge is looking for me?"

Lucas and Vinda looked at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

In order to learn what's going on, he took Vinda to the Ministry of Magic.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Magic atrium, members of the Saints Group also sent messages.

[Harry Potter used magic in a muggle house, causing a Muggle to fly into the sky after he inflated her like a balloon.]

Lucas tore up the note with even more doubts in his eyes.

Such a thing, what are they asking him to do?

"Minister Fudge, are you looking for me?"

Lucas opened the door to the minister's office, and Dumbledore who sat on the sofa froze for a moment.

The old bee obviously didn't expect to meet Lucas, and his action of tasting dessert also stopped.

"Headmaster Dumbledore? It's nice to meet you outside the school."

"Lucas, what are you here for?"

Lucas looked at Minister Fudge, he was also very curious about why he was calling him so late.

"Dumbledore, Harry Potter has violated the regulations and used magic outside school."

"And he also broke the statute of secrecy by inflating a Muggle like a balloon, causing her to fly south of Sheffield, which caused the Ministry of Magic a lot of trouble."

Dumbledore put down the cake in his hand and said.

"But you should know that Harry didn't do it on purpose. The magic power of underage wizards is already easily affected by emotions."

"As far as I know, the Muggle lady was speaking ill of Harry's parents. Any child would be offended, am I right, Lucas?."

Lucas, who was tasting the new black tea from the Ministry of Magic, was involved for no reason.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke. "Minister Fudge, I think the Headmaster is right."

"If my father was being humiliated, I wouldn't just turn that muggle into a balloon."

Fudge had wanted to contradict Dumbledore at first.

During the recent public opinion war, both he and Dumbledore were victims. But Dumbledore's reputation was clearly still much better than his.

And in the end it didn't work how he wanted, which made Fudge very unhappy.

But he didn't dare to blatantly trouble Dumbledore that much, so he could only use these small tricks to cause some trouble for him.

And Harry Potter just gave him such a very good opportunity, but Lucas spoke up so he had no choice but to leave it be.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "Since this is his 117th...how many times? Oh, it's really bad."

"Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic can not pursue Harry Potter this time, but please educate him properly after you go back."

"Of course, I will also find time to go to the Leaky Cauldron to talk to Harry, you know his reputation is not very good right now."

"If people know that he used magic recklessly, it will have an even worse impact on him."

Even knowing that the previous newspapers were Fudge's doings, Dumbledore didn't express any displeasure at the moment either.

He nodded with a smile, thanked Fudge, then got up and left the office.

Until the Headmaster left for a long time, Fudge sighed: "I just made a fool of myself, Mr. Grindelwald."

"It's okay Minister, after all, Headmaster Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of this century. What's the matter with you coming to me so late?"

"Yes, I would like to ask you to help find Sirius Black. What happened before has already reduced my prestige among the people a lot."

"Now the jailbreak of Black made me look even worse. If I can't catch him quickly, my approval rating will hit a new low."

Lucas looked stunned.

"No problem, I will let people pay attention to Black's traces later, you can rest assured that as long as he shows up, my people will definitely find out."

"The premise is that he has to change back to human form!" Lucas thought silently.

Sirius Black is an illegal Animagus and very few people know his black dog form.

At least no one at the Ministry of Magic knew.

These guys might still be wondering how Sirius escaped from the Dementors and escaped from Azkaban.

After the conversation with Fudge, Lucas directly fell asleep when he got home.

The next day he still needs to go to Cho's house to meet her parents.

After seeing her parents, he planned to go to the horcrux cave immediately.

Time to fetch Regulus' locket, too.
