Chapter 276 Scrimgeour
·
Yi Yang Shi Ming Yue
The ring Horcrux has been destroyed, I don't know what it feels like on Voldemort's side.
Dumbledore put the ring into his drawer, which also contained a black diary that was pierced from front to back.
In the office, Dumbledore and Eli chatted for a while. Eli thought he could leave after a while, but seeing that Dumbledore had no intention of letting him go.
Just when Eli was puzzled, Dumbledore waved his hand, and the sound of the statue moving came from outside, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.
Eli also turned his head to see who it was.
The wooden door opened, and there was only a man in Zhou Zheng's black suit at the door. At first glance, Eli thought it was a lion.
"Come in, Rufus." Dumbledore greeted.
Eli also recognized the person, who was the current Acting Minister of Magic—Rufus Scrimgeour.
When Fudge was around, he was the head of the Auror office, and he had a reputation for being sharp and tough, and he was even more decisive in his actions.
Just looking at his appearance, it's no wonder that some people say behind his back that he is a grumpy old lion.
Scrimgeour looked around the office with his eyes rolling, his eyes fixed, and he walked in steadily.
He went straight to the table and stood there. Eli got a chair for him, but he didn't sit down, just looked at Dumbledore.
"Dumbledore, you know I'm not here to chat." He said, and he glanced at Eli who was looking this way with his head stretched out.
Dumbledore smiled slightly: "Of course, I don't intend to waste your time."
Scrimgeour glanced at Eli from time to time, but seeing that Dumbledore didn't seem to take any action at all, he stared and said, "I think our conversation should have some privacy."
"Oh, of course, but I don't think your Excellency needs to take this Mr. Hall into consideration. He is not only the board member of Hogwarts, but also a shareholder of Shafik, which has a great influence on what we are going to talk about."
Dumbledore said flatly.
Scrimgeour blew his breath unwillingly: "It is the duty of the Ministry of Magic to fight against the You-Know-Who and his subordinates. As the Acting Minister, I will naturally do my duty, but." He paused and raised his voice, "You'd better Don't try to control me like you control Fudge!"
Eli could see the Minister Scrimgeour's cheeks bulging from the effort.
Dumbledore spread his hands helplessly: "I think you've seen it too. If it's true as you said, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't be in such trouble."
Scrimgeour took a deep breath: "You don't have to think about fooling me, I know that Fudge was raised by you back then, and the owls from the Ministry of Magic would come to Hogwarts ten times a day!"
Dumbledore pursed his lips: "I think if Your Excellency is only here to ask questions, then we may not be able to proceed with what we are going to talk about today."
Scrimgeour's eyes widened, and Eli could still hear his heavy breathing. At this moment, he really looked like a lion about to get angry.
"I want you to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. If we want to fight against that person, we must concentrate all our strength!"
After being stunned for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said this sentence.
"Of course!" Dumbledore responded immediately, "Voldemort's power cannot tolerate our carelessness, all we can do is fight with all our strength."
Scrimgeour didn't make a sound for a long time, as if he was a little surprised by Dumbledore's answer.
In fact, he really didn't have much affection for Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, and he was completely loyal to the Ministry of Magic.
In his view, the Ministry of Magic is the only legitimate magic government, and Dumbledore's act of gathering armed forces privately is arrogance.
He knew all about Fudge. If Barty Crouch's son hadn't been found out to be a Death Eater, the Minister of Magic wouldn't have had his turn.
Later, Fudge ascended to the position of minister, and Dumbledore also supported him vigorously behind him.
When Fudge first took office, his foundation was not stable, and he wanted to tell everyone that his relationship with Dumbledore was extraordinary.
Owls can fly several times a day.
Therefore, in the eyes of Scrimgeour, Dumbledore is more like an ambitious man who put his hand into the Ministry of Magic.
But whether you like it or not, Voldemort's return has become a fact. Looking at the entire British wizarding world, only Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix can fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
At this juncture, he became the Acting Minister of the Ministry of Magic, and his conversion was a certainty. When he was ordered to be in danger, the burden of fighting Voldemort fell on him, and he had to come to Dumbledore.
"However, I also hope that the Ministry of Magic can accept some of our suggestions, and we need to cooperate."
Dumbledore had no real intention of accommodating Scrimgeour.
Voldemort is powerful, no matter how tough this Scrimgeour is, he can't kill Voldemort.
He couldn't have left the task of dealing with Voldemort entirely to Scrimgeour.
Sure enough, upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Scrimgeour's plank-like face twitched violently.
"This is impossible!"
"I have no intention of controlling the Ministry of Magic, although the outside world thinks I am an ambitious old madman."
"The Ministry of Magic is the only authority." Scrimgeour glared at Dumbledore.
"Of course, I think so too. But, do you really think that the Ministry of Magic is monolithic?" Dumbledore's words were more persuasive. To deal with this irritable old lion, the quarrel would only make the atmosphere more tense.
When Dumbledore said this, Scrimgeour's lips twitched a few times, and the words were choked in his mouth.
He has also worked in the Ministry of Magic for so many years, how can he not understand the situation in the Ministry?
Not to mention those officials, just those pure-blood families don't know how many backers have been planted in the Ministry of Magic.
Much of this can be attributed to his predecessor, Fudge.
Back then, in order to get the pure-blood family to support him, Fudge did not hesitate to court the pure-blood family.
This is also to get rid of Dumbledore.
Just like the previous trial against Eli because of the Phoenix potion shop, he almost wrote "I'm working for a pure-blood family" on his face.
And Scrimgeour has just been promoted, how can there be time to clean up those pure blood families?
"I will make the Ministry of Magic united!" Scrimgeour said very forcefully, but no matter how he heard it, there was a feeling of unwillingness.
"I believe in your determination and ability, but we can't afford to wait, and neither can the wizarding world. Voldemort is accumulating strength. We caused him some trouble before, but this is far from shaking his foundation. He must be planning next move."
Dumbledore's words were not trying to deceive Scrimgeour. With Voldemort's irritable and brainless temper, even if he lost a lot in the last battle of the Ministry of Magic, he only thought of revenge as soon as possible.
Dumbledore put the ring into his drawer, which also contained a black diary that was pierced from front to back.
