Minister Bones was deeply moved by the selfless dedication and fearless spirit of death shown by Jane Yu's research team!
While Jane was moved by Minister Bones's broad vision, generous heart, and swift payment!
This minister not only directly provided official authoritative certification and issued an accident report citing Death Eater attack as the cause, but also dispatched Aurors and Obliviators to help them clean up the aftermath and clear the ruins.
She even promised to share the losses and help rebuild the laboratory.
Where else in the world could you find such a generous benefactor... Minister for Magic?
The two simultaneously extended their hands, clasping them together, gazing at each other with tearful eyes, speechless with emotion...
This scene of heroes recognizing kindred spirits brought the atmosphere to another climax!
Witnessing everything, the Aurors couldn't help but tear up, their arms trembling slightly as they cleared debris with their wands.
The Obliviators casting Memory Charms on the unconscious Muggles were so moved they lost control, casting their Obliviate spells with even greater determination.
And Jane's researchers—especially Augustus and Croaker, the two main culprits of the explosion—hugged each other tightly!
While excitedly kissing each other's cheeks in greeting, both shed sincere, bittersweet tears like wide noodles.
They felt their emotions and lives were like riding a roller coaster.
In just ten minutes, they had first plunged to the depths of despair, then experienced a miraculous turnaround from danger to safety.
Only they knew that moments ago, they had one foot over the cliff's edge—one more step would have meant eternal damnation.
In their daze, darkness filled their vision—the appearance of Azkaban, deep and terrifying without any light...
They would never again see blue skies, white clouds, never again witness the beautiful world outside...
Only Azkaban's stone walls soaked with pain and resentment, endless black seawater, and cold iron bars remained.
But at the moment of despair, Jane broke through the darkness and opened their prison doors—
With just a slight smile, a small stratagem, a gentle wave of her wand casting a minor spell, employing the ancient art of redirecting disaster...
She could instantly reverse a desperate situation and rescue them from fire and water!
She pulled them out of Azkaban, standing before them like a towering mountain, shielding them from wind and rain!
Both simultaneously cast admiring gazes toward Jane, feeling they could prostrate themselves in complete respect.
"I thought my beautiful life was ending!" Croaker's face was full of post-disaster emotion. "But Yu led us out of Azka... darkness, into the light!"
"It's all Yu's leadership!" Augustus spoke from the heart. "Her guidance showed us the future—she's our life's role model!"
Honestly, what could be more thrilling than thinking you'd violated the Statute of Secrecy and would spend your remaining years in Azkaban prison...
Only to suddenly transform into heroic wizards who sacrificed themselves for country and people?
Unfortunately, Bones didn't understand their deeper meaning—she only felt their words contained infinite praise and admiration for Jane.
"This is exactly the spirit young wizards should have!" Minister Bones looked even more gratified. "With young wizards like this who dare take responsibility and lead others in progress and growth, why worry about lacking successors!"
Hearing these researchers' evaluation of Jane, she found her even more to her liking.
Everyone knows: those who can't lead teams work themselves to death—
But Jane was different. She not only led teams, but led them extremely well!
Knowing people and utilizing their talents, bringing out everyone's strengths and gifts, caring for their research interests while uniting hearts...
She saw in her rare leadership and cohesion—she drove subordinates to progress and develop together!
This was precisely the character an excellent leader must possess, like a stabilizing pillar calming people's hearts!
"So rare, Yu, to drive others' growth and command everyone in battle—how remarkable."
Bones sighed admiringly, leading the applause while praising the 'self-sacrificing' Augustus:
"You followed the right person. Yu has helped you grow tremendously. I think Hippocrates, working diligently at St. Mungo's, would be happy for you too."
Augustus's eyes lit up, his whole being seeming to radiate new life and hope as he asked with infinite anticipation and disbelief:
"Wait... you mean—Hippocrates... he's all right?"
Minister Bones nodded slightly, smiling as she brought him this good news:
"Yes, the Death Eaters were after Umbridge in his ward. He fought hard to prevent them from taking her, so he was injured. He's also someone who fulfills his duties conscientiously... Fortunately, with your Spell-Shielding Robes, though he needs rest, he's not seriously harmed."
"Moreover, Headmaster Dumbledore and our Aurors arrived quickly, so those Death Eaters who snuck into the hospital didn't completely succeed."
Augustus felt he'd returned to heaven. His mouth pressed together, but his eyes brimmed with tears:
"Merlin—these Spell-Shielding Robes and Spell-Shielding Hats—are the most correct research I've done in my lifetime!"
He took a great stride forward to Jane, feeling his posture had never been so agile, choking up as he said:
"Yu, I must thank you—if not for your guidance in researching Spell-Shielding garments, perhaps... perhaps Hippocrates..."
He couldn't continue speaking, only a 90-degree bow that nearly knocked his head into Jane's stomach said everything.
"Coming to my laboratory, everyone's family. What thanks are needed between family?" Jane helped him up, building corporate culture. "The Spell-Shielding garments are successful fruits of our daily collaboration and joint research. Everyone's efforts saved Hippocrates."
Feeling family warmth, Augustus frantically wiped tears while thanking Croaker and other researchers, the group hugging tightly together.
This scene was perfectly harmonious and beautiful, displaying people-centered employee care and corporate culture in full.
If the group had a name, Augustus would probably have changed it to "Loving Family" long ago.
Only in this family reunion atmosphere—
The nearly forgotten Snape and Dumbledore stood alone in the summer breeze like two solitary ancient trees.
As informed and semi-informed parties, the two faced each other with their own thoughts, maintaining harmonious silence by mutual agreement.
Their silence was deafening.
