Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1207: Sense of crisis
Chapter 1209 A sense of crisis
Since the International Federation of Wizards sent an Auror squad into the British magic world, the chaos caused by the dark wizards has been quickly alleviated, but the employees of the British Ministry of Magic still cannot avoid the fate of working overtime from 9 to 5 all day long. Even Christmas Day is no exception.
Minister Scrimgeour thinks that the enemy will not give you time to rest, especially after the situation has eased, their ministers have become more cautious and worried that the enemy is planning some big conspiracy.
The door of the minister's office was opened from the inside, and Kingsley and Arthur came out of the office together, talking in low voices about why Scrimgeour was looking for them. Minister Scrimgeour wanted to do an interview with Harry, and through Harry to keep everyone on their toes.
With the help of the International Federation of Wizards, the British wizarding world has regained its previous peace, but the brief peace seems to make the tired people forget the cruel fact that Voldemort is still alive. The Dark Lord is still threatening the peace of the entire wizarding world at all times, but this incident has been deliberately forgotten by everyone.
"Scrimpie is worried that the mysterious man is brewing some big conspiracy." Kingsley felt that Minister Scrimgeour's worries were right. No matter what, Voldemort would not let it go. If the Ministry of Magic relaxes its vigilance, it is very likely that It will usher in the heaviest fatal blow, but there is no way to keep everyone's nerves tensed.
"How is the conservation plan going?"
Arthur suddenly asked about the news he had heard recently. It is said that the Ministry is quietly building a secret apartment, preparing to provide it to Ministry of Magic employees to temporarily settle down, so as to prevent their families from being disturbed and threatened by dark wizards, which would threaten their lives. .
As long as the internal staff of the Ministry of Magic are stabilized and the top management is not controlled by the Imperius Curse, the British magic world will not be easily infiltrated by Death Eaters and collapse, and Scrimgeour's life as a minister can be guaranteed.
"It's not finished yet, I guess we'll have to wait a while before we can move in."
Kingsley didn't dare to disclose too much information here to avoid the plan being targeted by dark wizards, and this apartment can't accommodate too many families, and the people who are allowed to live in obviously need to be screened.
"It seems that the minister is not optimistic about the current situation." Arthur took out his pocket watch, looked at the time on it, and asked Kingsley, "Is it because of Mr. Anderson's prophecy?"
"Very likely." Kingsley also felt that Scrimgeour would be so wary of Albert's warning. Scrimgeour trusted Albert very much. Recently, he has been trying to get help from the other party. When entering the UK to maintain order, it is undoubtedly the best time to exterminate the Death Eaters.
Unfortunately, the effect is not great.
The smarter Death Eaters have all gone into hiding, and they no longer show their faces outside, let alone daring to act outrageously like before.
As for the idiots who don't listen to persuasion, they are probably dead.
It is a good thing for Scrimgeour that the two sides are safe and sound. According to Albert's prediction, the longer the time drags on, the worse the situation will be.
"Are you coming to the party at noon?" Arthur changed the topic, "Fred and George will also come, and you can also..."
"I will. I just happened to talk to Harry about being interviewed." Kingsley did not forget the task assigned to him by Minister Scrimgeour. "Do you think Harry would be willing to be interviewed?"
"I don't know, let's ask questions later." Arthur shook his head and said, "I support his decision."
The two went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place together, where they saw Harry who was helping to peel potatoes. He looked a little tired, as if he hadn't slept well last night.
Kingsley told Harry directly about the interview.
"If you don't want to accept an interview with the "Daily Prophet", we will help you reject it?" Kingsley directly gave Harry the right to choose.
Harry fell into a brief silence after listening. He was still somewhat disgusted by the interview with the "Daily Prophet". It might continue to happen in the future.
"What purpose do you think Scrimgeour has?"
Harry did not directly refuse, but asked Arthur and Kingsley.
"Scremgeour believes that everyone should be vigilant. After all, Voldemort is just hiding himself, rather than being completely wiped out by us. This false peace will not last long." Kingsley helped Harry analyze, "We think that Voldemort What conspiracy is brewing."
"Scrimgeour wants to use your reputation." Arthur glanced at Kingsley, and it was not difficult to see from the other party's words that he still hoped that Harry could be interviewed.
"He wants everyone to believe that you agree with his policy, so that his policy can be better implemented."
In fact, it is not difficult for them to guess Scrimgeour's purpose, which is nothing more than using Harry's reputation to strengthen themselves.
"It seems that my so-called savior is quite popular." Harry laughed at himself.
"Yes, Scrimgeour does want to use you, as politicians do." Mr. Weasley looked at Harry and said seriously, "Of course, we all agree that it is not time to relax, but many People... are tired. Harry, we support your choice."
"Actually, I think it would be more effective for Scrimgeour to go to Albert to support him." Harry didn't pay attention to Mr. Weasley's words, but changed the subject.
"Mr. Anderson has always been helpful, and most of Scrimgeour's current achievements are due to Albert." The attitude has changed, but Albert has clearly seen through Scrimgeour's essence, and has been ignoring him, and Scrimgeour has nothing to do about it."
"It's really like what Albert would do." Harry chuckled, "Okay. I agreed to be interviewed, but I want to see the content of the interview in advance. You know that newspapers always like to exaggerate."
"Great, I think Scrimgeour will be very happy." Kingsley couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, their mission was considered completed.
"Isn't it mean!"
George stood outside the door with a glass of warmed butterbeer, smiled and raised his glass to Harry and said, "My lords are like this, but you can actually refuse. I think Kingsley's expression must be very exciting."
"Yeah, they're vile and nasty, but I'm not a kid anymore, I have my own judgment, and I won't do those boring things." Harry knew exactly what he was doing.
"Actually, I don't think it's useless even if you stand up." Fred handed the butter beer to Harry and explained with a smile: "Albert often said, never try to persuade others, when people don't When you want to believe it, even if you tell them the truth loudly in his ear, he will pretend not to hear it.”
Harry took a sip of butter beer and asked curiously, "What should we do in this situation?"
"Do your own thing and ignore him." George shrugged.
"Harry, the mead you asked me to buy, I've brought it back for you, the best oak-aged mead." Sirius put the small oak barrel in front of Harry and asked: "What do you want mead for?"
"Give it away. Dumbledore gave me a task, asking me to get some information from Professor Slughorn. I plan to get Professor Slughorn drunk first." Harry didn't hide this One thing, as long as you don't let everyone know what the content is, it is not easy to cause problems.
"Need help?" Lupine asked.
"No, this thing is enough. Slughorn likes to collect and give him things. I plan to wait for his birthday to give him this barrel of mead." Harry actually didn't have much confidence in this plan, But his confidence comes from Felicia and his backup plan.
Seeing that Harry was very confident about this, Sirius didn't say anything more. Of course he knew where Harry had the Felician, and if he was lucky, he would definitely succeed, so Sirius was not worried that Harry's plan would fail.
Originally, the big meal should be held in the evening, but everyone has something to do tonight, so we can only advance the big meal.
While enjoying the delicious food, Kingsley talked to Arthur about Scrimgeour's protection plan?
"I know about it. It is said that Albert will be the secret keeper of that building." Fred put down the turkey leg and interjected.
"Why not Dumbledore?"
Mrs. Weasley was a little puzzled. The secret keeper of the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix was Dumbledore. There was no doubt that no one was more suitable to be the secret keeper than the headmaster of Hogwarts. After all, even Voldemort was afraid of him.
If he doesn't want to, who can get the secret from him?
"We suspect that the mysterious man may be secretly carrying out a conspiracy against Dumbledore and Scrimgeour." Mad-Eye Moody said without hesitation, "So they chose Albert, that guy is also very powerful, and No one knows where he is hiding."
"This sounds absurd." Ginny muttered, "The Death Eaters dare to target Dumbledore, are their brains collectively broken?"
"Don't forget that a while ago, Voldemort tried to kill Albert through Hermione, and the other two time points obviously corresponded to Dumbledore and Scrimgeour." Harry felt that others probably guessed Deng Bad situation for Bullido.
If unfortunately he dies, then the so-called secrecy plan will really be over.
"Actually, if we build more buildings and everyone hides, the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters will probably just stare blankly." George changed the topic so that the topic wouldn't go to some unpleasant things.
"Voldemort's reign of terror stems more from his threat to other wizard families. Once he can't threaten them, everyone will no longer be so afraid of him, at least not worrying that his family will be killed because of it." Threat." Tonks also agrees with Scrimgeour's protection plan, at least they don't have to worry about getting hurt by their family members.
"Sounds like Albert's idea, and only he would do such a thing." Harry muttered, he would subconsciously think that Albert made up any weird things he heard now, according to As far as he knows, the Defense Association has set up many so-called "safe houses".
"It's true that Albert hinted that Scrimgeour did it." Fred nodded and explained, "This will help prevent the Ministry of Magic from being completely controlled by You-Know-Who and Death Eaters, and will allow more people to dare to go to the Ministry of Magic. Resist the mysterious man."
"It really has everything to do with him." Harry couldn't help complaining.
If possible, he actually hopes that Albert can help him destroy Voldemort, but this is just a good wish.
Voldemort was ultimately up to him to deal with.
"Harry..."
Hermione kicked Harry lightly under the chair.
"Oh, who kicked me just now."
Ron suddenly looked up and looked around, trying to find the culprit who kicked him.
"Oh, by the way, I hope to be able to learn Apparation during the Christmas holidays, I mean I hope someone can teach us in advance." Harry said to Kingsley sideways.
"I remember that you should be able to sign up for Apparition training in the sixth grade." Kingsley raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Harry in puzzlement and asked, "After the Christmas holiday is over, you should start practicing Apparation. .”
"I know, but I still hope that this semester, Hermione and Ron can make sure to master Apparation." Harry said seriously, "This is very important."
"Harry, you can..."
"I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley." Harry shook his head and interrupted, "This is not for the sake of being handsome, this matter is very important, and we must prepare in advance for future changes in the situation."
Everyone looked at each other and understood what Harry meant, and finally Kingsley nodded in agreement.
"Remus, it's up to you to teach Harry, Hermione, and Ron!" Kingsley looked at Lupine and asked, "You have teaching experience, and Sirius. By the way, Moody, I I remember that nothing happened in the past few days, and by the way, teach Harry some defense against the dark arts skills, and receiving some Auror training will not hurt."
"You..." Molly was a little angry.
"Molly, Harry will have to face it sooner or later," Arthur interrupted, putting his hand on his wife's shoulder, shaking his head.
"But Harry is just a child." Molly looked at her husband dissatisfied.
"It won't be soon." Sirius said calmly, "Harry is a man, and we all know what Harry will face in the future. He needs to grow up, and you will only harm him."
"Sirius." Lupine frowned ~IndoMTL.com~ feeling that Sirius' words were too heavy.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley, I don't want to spend my whole life running and hiding." Harry said calmly, "Besides, sometimes it doesn't make sense to run away, after all, the opponent is Voldemort, he will definitely try his best Kill me."
"Ahem, there are many advantages to being able to master Apparation in advance, at least you don't have to worry about not being able to learn it later." George quickly changed the topic to avoid making the atmosphere too tense: "At the beginning we were also in Albert With the help of the students, I was familiar with the apparition site in advance, and the progress was much faster than other students."
"Albert took you to apparate?" Kingsley raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems that the man never takes the Ministry of Magic laws seriously."
"As long as you don't know, it's not illegal." George said with a smile.
For some reason, Mr. Weasley suddenly became a little embarrassed, because the words reminded him of the flying Ford car from before.
"Really?" Hermione asked curiously.
"There are always some loopholes in the law." Kingsley explained awkwardly.
