Chapter 90 Who will win?
"Argus, are you okay?"
At the door of the courtroom, Vita was waiting anxiously.
Seeing Argus come out, he immediately approached and asked.
Argus took out the parchment and handed it to Vita.
"All of Scrimgeour's connections in the Auror Department are in it, use them well!"
"And..."
Argus glanced at the courtroom.
"Don't let him walk out of Azkaban alive."
He never underestimated the Auror Director who could become the Minister of Magic in the future.
Even if he knew the opponent's weaknesses, who knew if he would have a way to counterattack after he came out?
Instead of betting on the opponent's trump card, it is better to control everything in your own hands.
Vita understood and turned around and left the Ministry of Magic with Argus.
Two days later, in Saint Manor.
Argus sat at the table, picked up a stack of documents, and exclaimed in admiration.
"I didn't expect Scrimgeour to be so popular among the Aurors."
"He can control about 60% of the Aurors. I thought it would be good if half of them could be used."
"Now we can control more than two-thirds!"
"With the people the Saints have planted in the Auror Department, they can already account for more than half of the Aurors."
"It seems that it won't be long before the Saints can really gain a foothold in the Ministry of Magic."
...
The next day, the Ministry of Magic.
Amelia Susan Bones had a solemn expression.
Ever since Scrimgeour's accident, she has been eyeing the position of Director of Aurors, wanting to plant her own people.
But Fudge was the same. The two of them fought openly and secretly for this position countless times.
She is a serious and upright person. To be precise, the Bones family is extremely upright.
Her brother and grandmother died because of fighting Voldemort. In the original book, she also stood up when Harry was arrested and was later killed by Voldemort.
But integrity does not mean that she has no desire to control power.
As one of the 28 pure-blood families, she has shouldered the mission of her family since she was born.
Especially now, Voldemort has not yet resurrected and the British wizarding world seems to be safe.
She is fighting with Barty Crouch and Fudge in full swing.
In this case, how could she let go of a great power in the Ministry of Magic.
What's more, this power is still under her name!
Fudge's mentality is similar to hers, but one is for the glory of his family, and the other is for his own power as the Minister of Magic.
"Minister Fudge, the Auror Department is originally under the management of the Law Enforcement Department. Now that the position of the Auror Director is vacant, it should naturally be selected from the Law Enforcement Department."
Fudge smiled proudly, and couldn't help but sigh that Argus was so predictable.
"Director Bones also knows that Aurors belong to the Department of Law Enforcement?"
"Scrimgeour did such a thing, as the director, don't you have the responsibility for not disciplining them strictly?"
"If the Department of Law Enforcement is like Scrimgeour, even if I believe the members of your department, will British wizards believe it?"
"But this is not a reason for you to interfere in various departments!" Amelia did not give in.
"Interfere? As the Minister of Magic, which part of the Ministry of Magic can't I manage?"
"When you say interfere, do you think that the Department of Law Enforcement is your personal property?"
"Director Bones!"
Amelia didn't expect that the timid Fudge would become so sharp-tongued at this time, and she couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.
But she has been the director of the Department of Law Enforcement for so many years, and immediately thought of a place to fight back,
"The Auror Command is not something that can be controlled by just anyone."
"You must be extremely familiar with wizard laws, and have sufficient strength and reputation."
"Except for the Department of Law Enforcement, I'm afraid no one dares to say that they are familiar with wizard laws?"
"That's not necessarily true!" Fudge snorted coldly.
"There are quite a few people who have been transferred from the Department of Law Enforcement to other departments. How does Director Bones know that there is no suitable person among these people?"
Amelia adjusted her monocle, with a smile of success in her eyes.
"Minister Fudge said it himself, they were transferred from the Department of Law Enforcement."
"Why were these people transferred? What kind of achievements have they made within the Department of Law Enforcement?"
"Are there people who will take over the positions in other departments?"
"All these need to be considered one by one. Instead of entangled in these things, it is more appropriate to select from within the Department of Law Enforcement."
Fudge stared at Amelia, his hands unconsciously clenched.
He was more and more eager to completely control the Ministry of Magic.
If he could really control the Ministry of Magic, there would not be these few days!
To make someone take the position, just one word is enough!
And now, as the Minister of Magic, he doesn't even have the right to appoint a director!
"Minister..."
Just then, a sweet voice sounded.
Umbridge appeared in front of the Minister's office in a pink skirt with a fake smile.
"What's going on!"
Fudge asked, suppressing his anger.
"Minister, the werewolves in Knockturn Alley seem to have made some moves recently."
"Should we send Aurors to take a look?"
"We can't let those beasts really cause any trouble, right?"
"Then let..." Fudge and Amelia looked at each other.
Neither side gave in at all!
Finally, Amelia took a deep breath and said, "Minister Fudge, I think that no matter what happens, we must put the overall situation first."
"Right now, dealing with the werewolves in Knockturn Alley is the most important thing."
"Since the two of us can't argue over the position of Minister of Auror, why not let them make their own choice?"
"What do you think?"
It's true that Amelia wants to deal with Knockturn Alley, and it's also true that she doesn't want to give up the position of Chief Auror.
She dared to make this suggestion because she was sure that Fudge's people didn't have the ability to control the Auror Command.
Fudge could become the Minister of Magic, so he naturally had his own people.
If it was a competition of power in the Department of Justice or other things, he might not be willing to do it.
But in his eyes, with his reputation as the Minister of Magic, how could Amelia compare to this kind of thing.
There must be many more Aurors willing to join him than Amelia!
Immediately decided!
"Okay, let the Auror Department choose for themselves!"
"But we have an agreement in advance, no matter what choice they make, you and I can no longer interfere!"
"We must let them start the mission!"
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Amelia smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay! I promise."
"Then Minister Fudge, please?"
"Do you want to ask Minister Crouch to come and be a witness?"
"Him?" Fudge sneered at this and strode towards the Auror Command Center.
The best lackey Umbridge hurriedly followed.
