Chapter 8

After buying the cauldron, textbooks, owls and other items, Argus sent Draco to the fireplace and took the Floo powder back to Malfoy Manor.

Then he came to the entrance of Diagon Alley and saw Vita Rosier waiting.

"Have you bought everything?"

Argus raised his hand to indicate the suitcase in his pocket that had been cast with the traceless stretch spell.

"I've bought everything and sent Draco back."

"Who sent those Aurors?"

"Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic."

Argus narrowed his eyes slightly, and the information about the other party slowly emerged in his mind.

Rufus Scrimgeour, a hardliner in the British Ministry of Magic, has devoted his life to catching dark wizards.

In the original book, he disagreed with Dumbledore and became the Minister of Magic after Fudge retired. He was later captured by Voldemort and tortured to death because he did not reveal the whereabouts of Harry and others.

He can be regarded as a hero in the magic world.

"It seems that our director regards us as a group of dark wizards!"

"Being targeted by him is somewhat disadvantageous for our next actions." Agus frowned and whispered.

"Should we send someone to kill him?"

"No!" Agus shook his head: "We just came to the UK and killed the high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic, which will definitely cause panic in the Ministry of Magic."

"By then, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a few Aurors monitoring."

"But if he really keeps his eyes on us, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the implementation of our subsequent plans." Vita Rosier said cautiously.

Argus pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "We may not need to take action to deal with Scrimgeour!"

"The British Ministry of Magic only received the news of our transfer today. With their speed, it is impossible for them to make a decision immediately."

"So, Scrimgeour acted on his own?" Vita Rosier is not a dull person. On the contrary, she is much smarter than most people.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay with Grindelwald for so long.

"Spread the news to Fudge, and hint that Scrimgeour has already received the news of our coming to Britain. Naturally, someone will go to trouble him!" Argus looked playful.

"Who doesn't like to see dogs fight dogs!"

"I asked you to investigate the shops in Diagon Alley, what was the result?"

Vita shook her head: "The situation is not good. The shops in Diagon Alley are very popular, and few people are willing to buy."

"Most of these shops are controlled by pure-blood families, especially potions and flying brooms, which are in high demand and have been divided up by them early on. Even if we can buy a shop, the location will not be very good."

Agus couldn't help but smile: "Who told you I want to buy a shop?"

"Not buying? Then why do we investigate these shops?"

"The purpose of investigating the shops is to let you understand the trading situation in Diagon Alley. How can only one or two shops supply the future resources of the saints?"

"My goal is... to replace Diagon Alley!"

"Replace Diagon Alley?"

Now it was Vita's turn to be dumbfounded.

Even for her, the initial idea was just to trade with the pure-blood families. At most, she would be more powerful and directly squeeze out a few families.

Replace Diagon Alley? This is not about taking profits from the pure-blood families, it's about cutting off one of their arms!

"Argus, calm down. I know you want the Saints to develop, but we have just entered the UK and haven't even established a firm foothold. If we rashly go to war with the pure-blood families..."

"I'm calm, Aunt Vita." Argus patted her hands helplessly, indicating that she didn't need to be so shocked.

"Replacing Diagon Alley is a long-term plan. Let's not talk about the funding issue. The resources controlled by the pure-blood families alone are not comparable to ours."

"But there's no harm in taking one step and looking ten steps ahead. In my mind, replacing Diagon Alley is just a short-term plan. If you want to completely control the wizarding world, the funds of ten Diagon Alleys are not enough."

"In the future, our business territory will cover the entire world!"

...

The next day, the British Ministry of Magic.

Scrimgeour stood at the door of the Minister's office with a gloomy face.

Inside the house, Fudge's eyes were red and he was panting heavily.

"It's a rebellion, it's a rebellion!"

"He mobilized more than a dozen Aurors at once, and I, the Minister, didn't even receive any news!"

"Scrimgeour, what on earth do you want to do!"

Scrimgeour showed no weakness: "They are saints! They are a group of dark wizards! More than a dozen Aurors from the Austrian Ministry of Magic disappeared under his hands!"

"An eleven-year-old child killed more than a dozen Aurors in one breath. You believe this nonsense! I order you now to withdraw the people immediately!"

Fudge has a strong desire to control power. In his opinion, Scrimgeour's behavior is not against the saints.

It is a provocation to his authority as a minister!

It is a hint to him that he has secretly colluded with the Austrian and German Ministries of Magic!

This is something he can never tolerate!

"No! Even if he didn't do it, he is definitely related to it!"

"Scrimgeour!" Fudge slapped the table and roared angrily.

"I am the Minister of Magic!"

With one sentence, Scrimgeour was completely crushed to death!

He had no choice but to compromise and angrily threw a sentence to Fudge.

"Fudge, you will regret it!"

...

Time flies, and it soon came to the end of August.

During this period, Argus continued to concentrate on his research, coupled with his full talent.

He had finished the Hogwarts textbooks up to the fourth grade, and was now reading the fifth grade Standard Spells Collection.

In the manor, Argus sat on a chair and read quietly.

Draco next to him seemed to be bitten by fleas, scratching his ears and cheeks constantly, and obviously couldn't sit still.

Lucius, who came from the door, saw this scene more than once, but he couldn't help but sigh every time.

The gap between people is indeed greater than that between people and dogs!

This seemingly gentle blue-eyed boy has become a guest of honor in many pure-blood families from an outsider with no foundation in just one or two months.

Tracing the source, it turned out to be just a party invited by his son!

Through Draco's party, he gained the favor of a large number of peers of pure-blood families, and was later regarded as an idol by these peers and was invited to participate in various parties one after another.

With the help of the gatherings of peers, he opened up the relationship with various families.

The important thing is that these idiots of pure-blood families are still unaware!

I can only say that he is worthy of being the blood of Grindelwald. This method of playing with people's hearts is not comparable to that of ordinary people!

If possible, he really doesn't want Draco to have too much contact.

With his son's mind, he would have to smile and help count money even if he was sold!

"Draco, your father is here."

Agus saw Lucius coming, closed the book and reminded softly.

Draco showed joy, threw the book in his hand, and planned to leave immediately.

"Ahem!"

"Agus, I've been reading it all afternoon..."

"I know, remember to finish the homework I assigned to you, I will check it when school starts."
