Chapter 71
The old man was very happy.
Argus frowned for a moment, then relaxed.
This action was somewhat impulsive.
Fortunately, the result was good!
His words tonight will soon spread throughout Britain.
As long as he gets the support of British wizards, even if Dumbledore wants to deal with him, he can't do it openly.
Compared with Voldemort, Dumbledore's bottom line is still too high.
He noticed the four deans behind Dumbledore.
The expressions of the several people were different.
Snape was still expressionless, and even a hint of sarcasm hung on the corner of his mouth.
Professor Flitwick was somewhat entangled with Argus' words because he had some goblin blood, and he lowered his head helplessly.
Professor McGonagall's green eyes revealed an emotion that could not be described in words.
She had experienced the Grindelwald era. As a good friend of Dumbledore, she knew how much effort Dumbledore had spent to defeat him.
But now, a more outstanding Grindelwald is about to rise!
He is still her most outstanding and proudest student!
This made her feel very complicated about Argus.
Compared with Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout was not so thoughtful.
With a smile on her face.
She had no prejudice against Grindelwald, but was simply proud of her student!
"Everyone!" Argus turned to the many wizards in the Ministry of Magic.
"We are not here for violence, we just want fairness and justice."
As he said that, he gave Fudge a look, suggesting that he express his position.
Fudge was still a little guilty, and subconsciously wanted to look back to see what Dumbledore meant.
Hearing Argus's two light coughs, he recovered.
He spoke to the wizards in the hall.
"In view of the abuse of power, abuse of banned potions, and unauthorized imprisonment of Mr. Grindelwald by Mr. Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Command."
"The Ministry of Magic will temporarily remove Mr. Scrimgeour from all his duties and await trial!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd cheered.
"Well done!"
"That's what you should do!"
"The Ministry of Magic has finally done something human!"
Hearing the voices of the crowd, Fudge smiled a little.
This is the first time he has received support and cheers from a large number of wizards since he became the Minister of Magic.
While secretly happy in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh.
What Argus said was indeed right!
In this way, he can smoothly take charge of the Auror Command.
By then, the control over the Ministry of Magic will soar!
As long as he completely controls the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore will want to control him like before?
Dream on!
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have already seen Mr. Grindelwald, please go back first."
"It won't be long before Mr. Grindelwald can go back to school to continue his classes."
Fudge didn't forget the business, and hurriedly advised everyone.
The wizards looked at Argus, hesitant.
"Minister Fudge is right, the people in the Ministry of Magic also have to work."
"For me alone, so much manpower and material resources are spent, and the losses are still ordinary wizards like us who need the help of the Ministry of Magic."
"Thank you for your help today. I will tell you the follow-up news through the Saints' store in Diagon Alley and newspapers."
"Everyone, please go back!"
With Argus's guarantee, everyone finally ended the action.
Use various methods to leave the hall.
Many people also came forward to ask Argus about the specific situation, or left their names, hoping to leave a good impression on Argus.
Saints are now in their heyday in the UK, and many people who are trying their best to join the Saints' store can't get in.
Now they finally have a chance to talk to the leader of the Saints, how could they let it go!
Argus knew what these people were thinking, and was willing to win their hearts with a few words.
He nodded and smiled at the people who came to greet him.
On the contrary, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, stood aside and no one cared about him, looking a little embarrassed.
He was relieved until everyone left.
A group of wizards led by Dumbledore slowly came to Argus.
Madam Molly came to Argus and checked him carefully.
"Good boy, you have worked hard!"
"It was Scrimgeour who locked you up, but in the end he wanted you to clean up for him."
"I will accompany you to St. Mungo's Hospital first, and we will talk about other things when we come back!"
Realizing that Fudge wanted to say something else, he directly blocked it.
Argus felt a little helpless.
But he couldn't resist Mrs. Molly's insistence.
He nodded and agreed.
After thanking everyone who came forward one by one, he followed Mrs. Molly and left.
...
After Argus left, everyone who had achieved their goal also came to the Ministry of Magic.
Only Dumbledore stayed and came to his office with Fudge, preparing to discuss the trial of Scrimgeour with Minister of Magic Fudge in advance.
Now he is still the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and the Ministry of Magic must come forward to judge Scrimgeour.
He didn't have a very good impression of Scrimgeour, but he also knew that Scrimgeour hated evil.
In the future, when fighting Voldemort, this kind of person will surely become a pioneer.
But the crime committed by the other party really has no room for rebuttal, so he had to discuss it with Fudge.
See if the sentence can be reduced.
At least, before Voldemort is resurrected, he can get out of Azkaban.
"Cornelly, what do you think about Scrimgeour?"
Dumbledore sat in a chair, his old eyes showing a hint of fatigue.
"What he did was seen by too many people, and all the wizards in the Ministry of Magic just now also knew about it. I can't control it."
Fudge thought Dumbledore was going to find an excuse to let Scrimgeour escape punishment and directly make things clear.
"I know, but you are also aware of the extent to which Scrimgeour has hit dark wizards over the years."
"Perhaps, we should give him a chance."
Dumbledore also felt a headache about this.
If only a few of them knew about it, he would still be qualified to negotiate with Argus.
It is not impossible to offer some conditions so that the other party will not pursue it.
But now, Scrimgeour's affairs are no different from being public!
There is no need for newspapers. Tomorrow morning, all British wizards will know that he wants to use truth serum on an eleven-year-old wizard.
To defend him at this time is tantamount to fighting against all British wizards.
Even so, Dumbledore still has room for maneuver, after all, Scrimgeour's arrests of dark wizards in recent years are obvious to all.
With Dumbledore's own guarantee, even if he cannot be exempted from punishment, he can reduce it to the greatest extent.
The most important thing is the pure-blood families in Britain!
Many of them are on good terms with Argus and occupy important positions in the Wizengamot.
Scrimgeour's behavior has crossed their red line again!
Now there is a chance to kill him, how can they let it go!
Therefore, his only hope is Fudge!
If Fudge can reduce the severity of the accusation and make some omissions in the evidence.
Scrimgeour may be able to get out early!
But Fudge's next words surprised him.
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm sorry that I can't do anything about this matter."
