第309章 斯內普的债主
“魔法部部长，高级副部长，两位部长。”
“法律执行司，国际事务司，两位司长。”
节礼日的早晨，弗立维教授端著一杯牛奶，站在礼堂门口嘖嘖感嘆。
整个魔法部还未休假的职员都被突如其来的消息惊动，留下小半巫师值班，匆匆赶来，身穿黑袍制服的傲罗在门厅和走廊列队，不时有经过的幽灵窃窃私语，若无其事的从面前飘过。
“唉，这下没办法安静享用早餐了。”
“你就坐在位置上用餐，不搭话交给校长他们应付就行了唄。”
梅尔文望著主宾席上紧凑的座位，福吉和乌姆里奇不用商量就达成了默契，落座前不动声色的调整了位置。
原本主宾席正中是邓布利多的位置，经过调整，看起来是福吉和乌姆里奇坐在主位，邓布利多成了陪衬，麦格教授更是被排挤在外。
不知道的以为那两个傢伙是校长呢。
在场的教授和职员都不是傻子，两人的小心思尽收眼底，教授们並不在意这点伎俩，只觉得好笑，博恩斯女士和克劳奇则是麵皮有些发热，十分嫌弃。
“算了，我们做旁边吧。”
弗立维教授放下热牛奶，把高脚凳挪到外侧，手脚並用的爬上高脚凳，他一转头，就看见斯普劳特和梅尔文戏謔的目光，瞪了两人一眼。
“你们两个看什么？”
“邓布利多的座位都没了，你怎么还有专座啊？”
“……”
在混血妖精教授收走所有果酱，企图让他们干吃麵包前，梅尔文提前留下了蔓越莓酱，挪到他够不著的另一边，笑著说道：“快吃吧，待会儿还要去地牢呢。”
梅尔文和波莫娜两个傢伙，越来越討厌了。
弗立维教授吹了吹鬍子。
一顿早餐，主要是麦格教授在介绍情况，隱没了时间转换器的部分，邓布利多总是在笑，很少说话。
魔法部职员应该是提前用过餐的，心思不在食物上，全神贯注听小天狼星和彼得间的纠葛。
教授们默默用餐，梅尔文和弗立维教授没討论魔法也没说冷笑话，但麵包吃到最后几口时，还是免不了被提及。
克劳奇坐在另一侧，转过头来：“莱温特教授，好久不见，听说是你和斯內普教授一起，抓住了他们两个？”
梅尔文一眼就认出来，这是巴蒂·克劳奇，国际事务合作司司长，曾经的执行司官员，部长的候选人，被他的儿子食死徒小巴蒂牵连，前途夭折。
但他也不是无辜的，利用复方汤剂，將病重的妻子替换服刑的儿子，现在就关在克劳奇家里呢。长期用夺魂咒和药物控制，脑袋都要搞坏了。
节礼日不肯待在家里准备宴会，跟来霍格沃茨处理和他不相干的事务，估计是无法变面对那个假装痴傻的小巴蒂。
另外一边，克劳奇和博恩斯女士也在打量几位教授，准確来说，是年轻教授梅尔文·莱温特。
黑髮黑瞳，脸上有淡淡笑意，整体带著几分年轻，沉默的坐在那里，一只手端著牛奶，一只手举著麵包，进食的姿態不怎么讲究礼仪。

除了相貌英俊，似乎没有什么特別。
可几人注目等待回答，谁也无法忽视隱藏在他身后的影响：魔镜俱乐部创始人，考试管理局顾问，一枚梅林勋章，一枚英勇勋章，势力遍布不列顛，蔓延到新大陆、法国、匈牙利和罗马尼亚……
几次见面都很匆忙，要么是在审判庭，要么是在各种宴会上，仓促间来不及了解，回过神来，已经是比肩传奇巫师的人物了。
乌姆里奇嘴角掛著甜腻的笑容，可看梅尔文的眼神充满怨毒。
就是这傢伙，明明没有考取幻影移形许可证，违规使用魔法，还死不悔改的钻法律漏洞，狡辩声称她没有证据。
害得她在魔法界丟脸，许多巫师把她这位高级副部长当成笑话，马尔福甚至不给她寄节礼日晚宴的邀请函。
梅尔文咽下麵包，顺了口牛奶：“主要是斯內普教授的功劳，他留意到了我们忽略的线索，充分发挥了自己的智慧。”
“麦格教授你们也提供了很多帮助。”博恩斯女士笑著说，“苏珊总跟我提到你，莱温特先生，麻瓜研究是门很有意义的课程，我们以前都忽略了它的价值。”
“苏珊是个善良正直的女孩，没有受到长久以来纯血观念的影响。”
“……”
双方互相寒暄，你来我往，像极了教授和学生家长的交流。
斯內普听著他们没营养的废话，没有什么表情，眼神都没有波澜。
梅尔文是个很尽责的教授，聊完学生，这才转回案件：“事情的具体经过，麦格教授都已经讲过了，抓捕逃犯，破获案件，完全是斯內普教授的功劳，我没有任何异议。”
“……”斯內普觉得他在讽刺。
“我只想知道，魔法部什么时候重审布莱克和彼得的案件，预言家报社的古费主编和我有合作，或许可以通过报纸和影镜全程跟踪报导，可以让巫师们更快了解真相。”
梅尔文这番话是说给那位部长听的。
福吉果然眼前一亮，他不在意真相，只想减少麻烦，並藉此赚取好名声。
什么布莱克的冤屈，什么彼得的被迫，哪有名利和权力重要？
前任部长在职时犯下的过错，由现任部长纠正弥补，揭开诈骗犯彼得的食死徒真面目，还可怜的小天狼星清白，再让记者著重介绍他的功绩，说不定还能把彼得那枚勋章收回，颁给自己。
“我尊敬的部长，他在愚弄您……”
乌姆里奇是个合格的副部长，完全是福吉肚子里的蛔虫，只用余光瞟了一眼他的表情，就领会到他的想法。
如果是別的事件，她或许会推波助澜，帮福吉达成目的顺便从中牟利，可这事涉及到霍格沃茨，涉及到梅尔文……
她凑到福吉耳边低声说：“部长，別忘了，布莱克和彼得都是他们抓住的，真相也是霍格沃茨调查出来的，如果公开报导……您还记得前两年那些巫师对您的污衊吗？”
邓布利多的传声筒？
不中用的草包部长？
福吉面色一怔，他是在邓布利多的举荐下上位的，刚开始权力不稳固，遇到事情只能求助，偶尔到罗斯默塔女士的酒馆里喝两杯，听到的议论都很刺耳。
经过自己漫长且艰难的努力，前两年才彻底摆脱邓布利多的影响，摘掉这些难听的名头。

发觉在场巫师都盯著主位，等待部长亲口给出回答，福吉顿时板起脸，清了清嗓子：
“阿不思，各位教授，我真的很感谢霍格沃茨，替我解决了这个大麻烦，这半年我被它折腾得焦头烂额，现在总算解脱了。相信我，我比谁都更愿意开庭审判，解决好所有问题。”
“是的，部长为了布莱克的案子废寢忘食……”乌姆里奇捂著嘴，假模假样的娇笑两声。
“不过这件案子影响太大，牵涉范围也很大，我得先处理好其他方面的麻烦，你知道的，需要通知麻瓜首相，翻找档案，確定当年负责抓捕布莱克的职员，通知梅林爵士团，商量彼得那枚梅林勋章的处理方案，还需要和阿兹卡班沟通，確认布莱克这次逃狱是否需要追究责任，儘管他是有苦衷的……”
福吉的语速不快不慢，斟酌著措辞：“现在还是圣诞假期，魔法部多数职员还在度假，所以得等上一段时间。”
主宾席一时沉默起来。
不仅霍格沃茨的教授们抬头盯著他，连魔法部两位司长也是一脸莫名其妙，克劳奇和博恩斯忍不住扭过头，看向福吉和乌姆里奇两人。
继续冤枉好人，替食死徒拖延时间，你是嫌自己在魔法界的名声太好吗？
乌姆里奇低著脑袋，笑得眼睛眯起。
梅林在上，这都是部长先生自己的想法，她只是帮忙分析，可没提什么具体建议。
这不能给她带来什么收益，但只要看到霍格沃茨这帮不服管辖的傢伙吃瘪，莱温特无法达成目的，她就身心舒畅，金加隆也买不来的舒畅。
而邓布利多眼底的笑意也淡了，皱著眉问道：“康奈利，审判需要等到假期结束，是魔法部內部的事务安排，霍格沃茨不会插手，但外面巡逻的摄魂怪，可以撤回去了吧？”
“这个嘛……我希望你明白，阿不思，我是愿意撤掉这些傢伙的。”
福吉顿了顿，很不自然的说：“可那些傢伙非常麻烦，听不懂人话，只有阿兹卡班的职员能指挥，可现在是圣诞假期，半数职员休假，剩下的需要看守监狱，毕竟那里还有几十位食死徒呢。”
邓布利多点点头：“所以……也需要等到假期结束？”
“是的，我想你保证，假期结束的第一时间，我就让人来撤掉那群烦人的傢伙。”
“……”
梅尔文都气笑了。
看样子福吉和乌姆里奇相处久了，也染上了癩蛤蟆的毛病，没爪没毛，趴在脚上不痛不痒，纯噁心人。
“好吧，孩子们也需要假期结束才回学校。”
邓布利多湛蓝色的眼睛微微眯起：“不过康奈利，我必须要提醒你，我们的教授们正在教孩子们守护神咒，初学者是把握不好分寸，而摄魂怪是听不懂人话的怪物，如果发生衝突，守护神把摄魂怪衝散到別的地方，可能会引发更糟糕的影响。”
“让未成年学生掌握守护神咒？”
福吉像是听到了什么笑话，浑不在意的挥了挥手：“放心吧阿不思，我肯定按时撤掉摄魂怪，不会让孩子们受到惊嚇的。”
他说这话也不算在敷衍，摄魂怪只是游荡在校外，封锁监视邓布利多，没想为难普通学生。
“总之先让我们把布莱克和彼得带走吧，其他事情等假期结束再说。”福吉用一种清脆快速的语调说，“感谢霍格沃茨做出的贡献。”

……
裹铁车轮碾过冷硬的雪地，夜騏拖著马车缓缓启程，向伦敦魔法部驶去。
前后六辆夜騏马车，中间两辆是囚车，靠后那辆的车厢里关押著小矮星·彼得，博恩斯女士和克劳奇跟在这辆车后面。
背叛嫁祸好友，逃脱审判十二年的食死徒奸细，在任何时候都是傲罗关注的重点。
而坐在前面那辆车厢里的是小天狼星，哈利这时候已经起床，站在路边观望，时不时吸吸冻红的鼻子，在小天狼星撩开车帘探出头来的时候，他又抹了把脸，挤出笑容朝车厢挥手。
“福吉不知道在想些什么，早点翻案公开真相多好，他就一定得拖延到假期结束，可怜的小天狼星，还要在魔法部的审判室里关一个星期。”
斯普劳特嘀嘀咕咕的抱怨，偶尔还会蹦出粗鄙的俚语，可见是真的气急了。
站在门厅台阶上的梅尔文表情平静，目送他们远去，好奇问道：“说起来，为什么押运囚犯一定要用马车，而不是门钥匙和飞路网，这不是方便別人袭击吗？”
歷史上，那位声名显赫的格林德沃很早就在美国被捕，中途也是用囚车押运，然后有巫粹党信徒中途袭击，格林德沃脱逃，后来差点一把火烧了巴黎。
“不知道……可能是某种古老规定吧。”弗立维教授也觉得奇怪。
“感兴趣可以去问问宾斯教授。”斯內普转身往回走。
“西弗勒斯……”梅尔文叫住了他：“麻烦傍晚时在禁林入口等我，今天节礼日，海格办了个简单的篝火晚会，我再次正式邀请你参加。”
“无聊。”斯內普头也不回，懒得搭理。
“別忘了，你还欠我一份命债。”梅尔文慢悠悠的说。
斯內普转过身来直直的盯著他，眉头忍不住皱在一起，瞳孔里闪动著很不礼貌的眼神。
斯普劳特原本还想问为什么篝火晚会不邀请她，听见这话，忽然想起温室里还有事，扯了一把旁边的弗立维。
弗立维清了清嗓子，忽然对囚车的事情感兴趣：“我去找宾斯教授。”
两人转身往外走，脚步却很慢，竖著耳朵留意后面的动静。
斯內普气得嘴唇哆嗦，仔细想想，把几人从时空间隙找回来，確实算得上救命之恩，他作为被拯救的一员，也確实欠了命债。
“你要用这个让我赴约？”
“不要迟到哦。”
