Chapter 168

Harry raised his hand to hold his chin and looked at Scrimgeour, a slight smile on his lips:”Since coming here for protection is just a face-saving project, just send two Aurors here. There is no need to trouble you, the director, to come in person.”

Without waiting for Scrimgeour to answer, Harry continued:”Are there reporters following up for an interview tomorrow?”

Scrimgeour nodded.

“”I see.” Harry looked at the head of the Auror Department with interest. Scrimgeour looked at him fearlessly, with ambition clearly hidden in his eyes.

This was the first time he had revealed his ambition in front of an outsider.

“I can promise to cooperate with you and praise you strongly in front of the reporters, but in return, you owe me a favor.”Harry waved his hand, and an earplug was released on the Auror who had lost his vision.

“No problem, it’s my honor to owe Mr. Potter a favor.” Scrimgeour did not stop Harry from casting the spell. When he heard Harry’s words, he immediately said

“”And, I, Rufus Scrimgeour, will be Mr. Potter’s most loyal friend.” Scrimgeour said solemnly, and then bowed slightly to Harry.

Harry nodded, accepted his bow, waved his hand, and used the exorcism to remove all the magic of those Aurors.

The Aurors regained their sight and hearing, and they were relieved to see that Harry and Scrimgeour were talking peacefully.

Just now they were like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others, without sight, without hearing, tied up all over, and completely controlled.

Fortunately, they were all Aurors with strong psychological qualities, and because Scrimgeour did not make a move, they also refrained from making a move, otherwise, they would probably be killed in an instant.

“Come and pick me up tomorrow morning.” Harry said to Scrimgeour

“OK, we will be waiting for you at the door at 8 o’clock tomorrow.” Scrimgeour nodded to Harry and left with his Aurors.

Harry glanced at his back. This man was very smart. If he were to take the position of Minister of Magic, he would not be so stupid as to do something that disgusted him. He did not have to personally control the Ministry of Magic.

Harry returned home and closed the door.

Vernon did not ask about those people. He still did not want to know too much about that world. He just needed to know that Harry was safe.

The next day, September 1st.

Under the nervous expressions of the Aurors, they drove very well-trained, and Scrimgeour personally drove Harry to the King’s Cross platform.

“The Ministry of Magic has Muggle vehicles, and you can drive?” Harry said curiously, sitting in the back of the car, lying comfortably on the soft seat.

“The Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government are working together. For some tasks that require the cooperation of the Muggle world or mysterious problems that the Muggle world cannot handle, both sides will help. For example, the Muggle world is also looking for Black. If they find any trace of him, they will tell us immediately.”Scrimgeour said while driving.

“These vehicles are provided by the Muggle government for our daily activities in the Muggle world. As Aurors, we must master this mode of transportation.”

Harry nodded and stopped talking.

Arriving at the entrance and exit of King’s Cross Station and entering the wall, the reporter of the Prophet was already waiting there. A woman with fine, stiff, and weird big curls in her hair looked particularly awkward with her big chin. She wore a pair of jeweled glasses and her nails were two inches long and painted red. The reporter saw Harry and Scrimgeour coming together.

Her eyes lit up and she quickly went to greet them with the cameraman.

“My God, Mr. Potter, I have wanted to interview you for a long time. I am Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet.”Rita said to Harry with a warm smile, speaking very fast, like a hen crowing.

“Hello.” Harry nodded expressionlessly.

“”Oh, it’s so handsome, take a picture quickly!” Rita excitedly hugged the camera with both hands, and then said angrily to the cameraman behind her.

When the cameraman heard Rita’s words, he quickly started working.

“Ahem, Mr. Potter, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic recently awarded you the medal of the best international cooperation ambassador, saying that because of you, the people of Egypt were saved. What do you think?”Rita asked the hottest topic as soon as she opened her mouth.

“Oh, this is not just my work. There was also Arthur Weasley from the Ministry of Magic and a staff member from the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. The three of us dealt with Immorton together.”Harry said.

Rita’s eyes lit up, and she threw the automatic recording pen aside and wrote something on the paper quickly.

“What do you think of the Ministry of Magic’s emphasis on your safety because of Black’s escape?”Rita continued

“I am very grateful for the concern of the Ministry of Magic, especially Director Scrimgeour who is beside me. I feel very safe with him protecting me all the time. Harry praised Scrimgeour without hesitation.

The photographer took a photo of Scrimgeour.

Scrimgeour showed a serious expression, looking very reliable.

“Oh? Mr. Scrimgeour, what do you think of the Ministry of Magic’s efforts to protect Mr. Potter?”Rita asked Scrimgeour

“This is definitely not a big deal. Everyone knows who Black’s target is. Mr. Potter’s safety is very important. If I really encounter danger, I will sacrifice my life to protect Mr. Potter’s safety!” Scrimgeour said seriously.

“Thank you for your support and protection, Mr. Scrimgeour!”Harry stretched out his hand and shook Scrimgeour’s hand. The photographer took this picture.

“”Okay, let’s stop here for the interview. I should go in now.” Harry nodded to Rita, and ignoring her questioning mouth, he pulled himself onto the train.

Rita sighed in disappointment. She ignored Scrimgeour and checked the photos taken by the photographer. She had just taken two rolls of film and handed them in. This was too little. It was difficult to put together a complete set of photo albums. How could she deal with the loyal readers of Witch Weekly? Many witches sent her letters. They heard that Harry was not only a savior, but also an ascetic handsome man. They strongly demanded to see photos of the savior.

Rita sighed again. It seemed that she could only post these photos first to barely meet the fans’ requests.

She waved her hand and asked the cameraman to go back to work. She had to write the report as soon as possible.

News is all about timeliness.

“It’s too much, they’re blocking the door for interviews.” Ron said as he helped Harry carry his luggage on the train, with a hint of envy in his tone.
