Chapter 65: Tonks appears, Scrimgeour is furious!
With Vita's help, the news spread quickly.
Many old men and women of the Saints have deep connections in the UK. After receiving the news, they immediately began to contact some of their old friends.
These people may not be powerful, but at least they are industry elites.
Their joint questioning requires even the British Ministry of Magic to respond seriously.
...
The Weasley family in Romania also heard about this.
Mrs. Molly, who was once an elite Auror, was so angry that she almost cursed.
"How could they do such a thing!"
"Argus is such a good child, we must not let him suffer any grievances!"
"Then we will go to see Charlie..."
"What are you still looking at! Go back to the UK immediately! I want to ask Scrimgeour what the hell he is doing!"
Although Ginny on the side did not know the composition of the Ministry of Magic, she kept nodding.
"That's right! Ask them carefully!"
...
British Ministry of Magic.
In the Auror's office.
Argus sat upright in a chair, his expression did not change at all, no different from at home.
Several Aurors looked at him warily, fearing that he would do something unexpected.
A pink-haired woman in a leather jacket pushed the door open and barged in.
"Tonks, what are you doing here!"
"I warn you, this person is very dangerous. The director said that no one is allowed to get close!"
Tonks seemed to have heard a big joke.
"Dangerous? Tell me, how dangerous can an eleven-year-old child who has just entered school be?"
"What unforgivable thing has he done that you have to treat him like this!"
Tonks completely ignored the warnings of several colleagues and came to Argus on her own.
She took out a few pieces of bread and put them on the table.
"Are you hungry? Eat something quickly!"
Sensing Argus's puzzled look, Tonks smiled.
"Don't worry, there is no magic potion in these breads."
As he said that, he picked up a piece of each and put it in his mouth.
Argus then remembered who the woman in front of him was.
Member of the Order of the Phoenix, Magus the Disguised, Lupin's wife!
Her mother was a member of the Black family and gave birth to her after marrying a Muggle.
According to seniority, Bella and Narcissa should be called aunt!
In the original book, she is a very rebellious witch with justice in her heart. In the end, she died in the final battle with Lupin.
I didn't expect to see her here.
But considering her rebellious mentality and strong sense of justice, it is reasonable for her to be willing to help me.
"Eat quickly." Seeing that Argus didn't move, Tonks urged again.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
Scrimgeour walked in and was furious when he saw the bread on the table.
"Who brought it to him! Who allowed you to bring anything in casually!"
"When did the Ministry of Magic stipulate that bread cannot be brought to children!"
Tonks was not afraid at all, and rushed up to confront Scrimgeour.
"Is he a child? He is a criminal!"
"What crime did he commit? Saving people? Or didn't he give candy to our Auror chief?"
"Nymphadora!"
"What did you call me?"
When Tonks heard the name, she got angry at the time.
The word Nifa is pronounced very similarly to a less elegant word in English.
This made her extremely sensitive about her name, and almost everyone who had come into contact with her knew about it.
Scrimgeour now called out directly, with a hint of picking on him.
"Director, Director, calm down!"
Several Aurors winked at the people next to them, and a female Auror tactfully pulled Tonks out of the door.
One of them whispered something in Scrimgeour's ear.
The specific content was not clear, but Argus faintly heard a few words: "Minister... There's a big commotion outside..."
A confident smile appeared on his face.
You can ignore public opinion, but you must not ignore it.
Otherwise, once it backfires, the consequences will definitely not be something that ordinary people can bear.
Scrimgeour showed dissatisfaction: "The matter has been done. If we let him go now, where will the face of our Ministry of Magic be!"
"I have my own arrangements for this matter, and you don't need to worry about it!"
Pulled a chair from the side and placed it opposite Argus.
"I advise you to be honest and cooperate with me, otherwise you will suffer!"
"Tell me, why did you go to Gringotts at noon today!"
"To save people." Argus replied indifferently.
From the moment he was brought into the Ministry of Magic, he knew that the other party had not found any evidence at all.
Otherwise, he would have been sent to the Tribunal long ago.
Can you still eat and drink here?
"Still not honest! Do you really think I dare not touch you!"
Scrimgeour slapped the table, and his already gloomy face became even more terrifying.
If it were an ordinary little wizard, he would probably be scared by him.
But Argus had experienced countless assassinations in his childhood, and this kind of intimidation was just child's play.
"If I'm not mistaken, the fact that I was slandered and arrested by the Ministry of Magic should have spread."
"If I walk out of the door of the Ministry of Magic with injuries all over my body, what do you think the reaction of the wizards outside will be?"
Argus's smile was still so gentle, but Scrimgeour felt a chill.
It seemed that everything about him was seen through by the boy in front of him.
"Do you really think I can't deal with you!"
Scrimgeour's eyes were red: "Bring me the truth serum, I don't believe that the saints are clean and have no problems at all!"
"Director!"
Several Aurors were shocked.
Veritaserum is a potion that is only allowed to be used in certain specific circumstances.
In most cases, it is strictly prohibited.
Even if it is used, its confession cannot be used as evidence.
In addition, if the outside world knows that they abuse the truth serum, ordinary wizards will be in trouble, but the pure-blood families in Britain will be in danger!
Few of them are clean!
The abuse of truth serum is tantamount to touching their bottom line!
"Director, think twice!"
"Yes, Director, if the wizards outside know that we use truth serum on an eleven-year-old child, they will overturn the Ministry of Magic!"
"Shut up! Whatever happens, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Scrimgeour panted heavily, obviously he was already in a rage.
He is a person who hates evil and has an extremely stubborn temper.
His natural prejudice against saints made him want to uproot them.
…
Another floor of the Ministry of Magic.
Fudge's office.
A large number of well-known wizards suddenly poured into the floor that was originally so quiet that few people were there.
The staff of the Ministry of Magic wanted to stop them, but they were not enough, and any of these people were well-known figures.
They were just doing their jobs for a salary, so there was no need to offend anyone to death.
Bang!
The door of the office of the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom was pushed open heavily, and Fudge frowned and looked up.
But the next sentence made Fudge completely confused.
"Minister Fudge, I think you need to give an explanation to all British wizards."
"When did the British Ministry of Magic become a puppet department that only obeys the orders of the goblins of Gringotts!"
