Compared to Harry's worries, Elwyn was very relieved.
Because of the recent publicity from the Hogwarts Ministry of Magic, Harry's upcoming trial had attracted the attention of the entire magic world. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Foggy to casually convict Harry, not to mention that Dumbledore was there.
"We'll leave at six tomorrow morning!" Lady Weasley said at dinner on Wednesday night. "Elwyn, Harry, I've ironed your best clothes for you to wear tomorrow morning. Especially you, Harry. I hope you wash your hair again tonight. A good first impression can create miracles. "
Elwyn's interrogation and Harry's trial were both scheduled for the next day. Originally, Lady Weasley didn't want them to go, but after the news spread and even Elwyn received a letter of inquiry from the Ministry of Magic, everyone could accompany them.
Elwyn even asked Rita to go with them and interview the whole trial. He didn't know if Foggy would agree.
"How are we going?" Harry asked, putting down the ribs he was eating.
"Arthur will take you with him when he goes to work," Lady Weasley said. She turned to them and said in a stern tone, "Fred, George, this isn't a joke. Don't make trouble for your father tomorrow, and don't …"
"We know, Mom!" Fred said. "We won't do anything tomorrow."
"Don't worry, we've been to Dad's office many times. We know the rules of the Ministry of Magic," George said.
Their reassurances were very worrying. Elwyn knew that they planned to visit Percy's office …
They had been suppressing their anger over the falling out between Percy and his family, hoping that it wouldn't cause a big mess.
"You can stay in my office tomorrow. I'm not sure if the department will allow you to watch Elwyn and Harry's trial. Normally, there should be no problem …" Mr. Weasley said. "But it's very tight now, and I haven't heard anything."
Ever since Foggy and Dumbledore had fallen out, he had been pushed to the margins of the department and had a hard time.
However, this did not make any difference. Mr. Weasley was not valued in the department to begin with.
As long as he did his job, Foggy couldn't do anything to him or send him home.
Even if Mr. Weasley changed his job, there was no worse position in the entire Ministry of Magic than the one Mr. Weasley was in.
At five o 'clock the next morning, Elwyn climbed out of bed.
He saw that Harry had woken up, and was sitting motionless, as if he were worrying about his impending trial.
"Good morning, Harry!" Elwyn whispered. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Harry said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, we have solid evidence. You'll be fine in a few hours!"
"I know!" Harry nodded blankly again, as if he had just come back to his senses. "Good morning, Elwyn!"
He jumped out of bed and put on his glasses.
Lady Weasley had already placed a pair of freshly washed jeans and a T-shirt at the foot of his bed, and he fumbled to put them on.
Elwyn got up and put on his clothes as well. He saw Ron lying on the bed with his limbs stretched out, his mouth wide open, sleeping soundly.
After putting on his clothes, Harry went over and shook him to wake him up.
"Is it time already?" said Ron, turning over again and getting up with difficulty, tottering.
"It's five o 'clock, an hour to go," said Elwyn, looking at his watch.
"Then I'll lie down a little longer. I'll get up at five-thirty, so there's no need to go so early." Ron fell back heavily.
Elwyn and Harry looked at each other and left the room. When they reached the kitchen, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Lupin, and Tonks were sitting there, all neatly dressed. Lady Weasley was bringing out the breakfast she had just made.
"You're up early, you two. Come on, breakfast!" she said, pulling out her wand and hurrying over to the fire.
"Good, good, good morning, Elwyn, Harry!" Said Tonks, yawning. Her hair was fair and curled that morning. "Well, did you sleep well?"
"Pretty well," said Harry, who had not slept all night, tossing and turning over the matter.
"You don't seem to have slept?" asked Elwyn, sitting beside Lupin.
"Yes, I didn't, didn't sleep all night," she said, yawning again with a big shudder. "Come and sit down, Harry."
She pulled out a chair, toppling the one next to it.
"What would you like?" cried Lady Weasley. "Porridge? Muffins? Smoked fish? Ham and eggs? Bread? "
"I'll just have some bread, thank you," said Harry.
"I'll have ham and eggs, and some bread, too." Elwyn's appetite was not affected at all.
Lupin glanced at them, then said to Tonks, "What did you say about Scrimgeour?"
"Oh, yes, it's like this. We need to be more careful. He started asking Kingsley and me strange questions yesterday!" Said Tonks. "Kingsley thinks he's discovered something. Scrimgeour is a very powerful Auror."
During the war years when the Ministry of Magic was fighting against the Lord Voldemort, Scrimgeour was a powerful Auror second only to Moody.
He was now the director of the Auror office, and Elwyn had met him at the Quidditch World Cup.
"We do need to be careful. He's not with Foggy, but he won't agree with us either," continued Lupin.
They did not ask Elwyn and Harry to join the conversation, and the two ate their breakfast in silence.
Lupin did not intend to accompany them to the Ministry of Magic trial.
His identity as a werewolf was very sensitive, and it would have a negative effect if he did not gain the trust of the wizards.
Lady Weasley served the bread and marmalade, then scrutinized Elwyn and Harry with a critical gaze.
"Dear, you need to tidy up your clothes a little. You have to leave a good impression."
She began to pay extra attention to their T-shirts, mainly Harry's. She would put the label in, and then smooth the seam on the shoulder.
Harry felt a little uncomfortable, and really hoped that she would not do that.
"I have to tell Dumbledore that I can't work the night shift tomorrow. I'm too, too, too tired," said Tonks, yawning again.
"I'll do it for you!" said Mr. Weasley. "I'm fine. I have a report to rush out tomorrow anyway …"
"Alright, you two, can you go up and wake up those lazy bums? How long do they want to sleep!" She did not want Harry and Evan to know anything about it. "Mrs. Weasley said, giving Tonks a disgruntled look." She did not want Harry and Evan to know anything about it.
Just like that, Elwyn and Harry climbed up the stairs again.
"I'll go up and wake Ron, Fred, and George," said Harry, walking to the third floor. "You go get Hermione and Ginny."
Elwyn nodded, walked up to their door, and knocked lightly. No one responded.
