Chapter 519: Angry Hermione
In fact, the conversation Scrimgeour wanted did not come true in the end. Sirius left too fast and did not give Scrimgeour any chance at all.
Moreover, when Scrimgeour stated that he wanted to explore the source of Fan Lin's magic power, this still made Fan Lin wary.
The Philosopher's Stone was so important that he only told Hermione, not even Harry.
However, he had to figure out how to explain this problem.
Blame it all on Dumbledore, say you discovered some powerful magic item, and use the power left by Dumbledore?
This was a good idea, at least it could divert Harry's attention.
"Don't worry, Scrimgeour is like that. He never lets go of any doubts about the incident he wants to investigate, although he is still quite annoying."
"Fortunately, it's just his way..." Fan Lin looked at Sirius strangely. It was quite strange that a person like Scrimgeour had not been killed or retired in the Ministry of Magic.
"Scrimgeour has always been like this. He is already a rare asset to the Ministry of Magic!" Sirius sighed.
"A veteran Auror." Fan Lin was slightly startled. He naturally knew what Sirius wanted to say.
"Yes, he is a veteran Auror." Sirius said, "After Alastor Moody retired, Scrimgeour was the only remaining wizard from the previous era. You also know how many wizards there were at that time. Darkness, fighting that man, the Ministry of Magic at that time..."
"Where are the other Aurors?" Harry asked curiously.
"Either you quit midway, or you die or go crazy. These are common things." Sirius said nonchalantly.
Harry gasped.
"How...how could it be like this? I mean, aren't these Aurors..."
Harry wanted to say that in his impression, the Aurors were all powerful, but the Aurors described by Sirius in the sky...
"Auror is a very dangerous job," Sirius said. "Few wizards can persist to the end. Many people join because of yearning, but the job of Auror is to deal with those dark wizards. This But it’s very deadly. You never know what kind of evil magic these dark wizards will prepare for you, so only the top Aurors can survive.”
"Dark wizard, but... there is still..."
"It's everywhere in the alley, but it's just not that dangerous." Fan Lin said. He originally wanted to say Albania, but it seemed that this kind of thing should not be told to Harry.
"Into the alley?" Harry exclaimed, suddenly remembering Hagrid's warning that he had been there before.
"Aurors like Scrimgeour are already very rare, and each one is very prestigious in the Ministry of Magic." Sirius paused, he did not want to discuss much with Harry on matters such as dark wizards.
"Yes!" Mr. Weasley nodded, "This has also developed their suspicious character. Anyone who wants to survive in that position will be like this. This is an instinct of self-protection."
"They have seen too many conspiracies," Sirius frowned, "but I still don't like his style. However, he knows who can be trusted and who is worthy of suspicion. There is no problem with that."
"I don't deny that," Fanlin said, "It would be better if he could know what to touch and what not to touch. However, it is not wise for him to want to bring down Barty and Crouch. Decide."
"He is a cunning guy, but also very decisive. He can make a choice at any time and give up what should be given up, so as to preserve himself and his reputation."
"But that's not the reason why he can treat Winky like that," Hermione said angrily, "Winky was not wrong, she just stayed there as she was told, Scrimgeour and Barty, damn, they shouldn't be like this It’s not fair to treat Twinkle.”
It seemed that Hermione was really angry, and Fanlin was not surprised by this. If she didn't insist on what Hermione believed, she wouldn't be Hermione.
However, it was quite difficult to get Hermione to behave like this. For a while, Fanlin couldn't find a good way to comfort Hermione.
"Calm down, calm down, Hermione..." Sirius said, "Winky did nothing wrong. This is something everyone knows. Scrimgeour will not do anything to Winky. But being abandoned by Crouch..."
"As you saw, it almost killed her," Hermione said loudly. "This is not fair at all. Shining has always taken care of him, but even a cat or dog has feelings..."
"But she's a house elf," said Ron.
"House Elf!" Hermione became even more angry. Although her body was still a little weak, the large amount of magic power expanded the magic lines in Hermione's body several times. Apart from the pain and coldness, Hermione's condition was... Better than ever.
"House elves! What's the reason? They are his family. They have lived together for so long, but now they are abandoned so easily and used as goods? House elves also have lives... they still have feelings, you see. Here we go, how sad she is crying, Ron!"
Hermione's chest rose and fell violently. Ginny seemed to be frightened by Hermione. She had never seen Hermione look so angry.
"Okay... okay... Hermione." Vanlin said quickly, "We can ask Dobby to bring Winky back. Now is not the time to discuss the rights of house elves. Your body..."
Hermione's face was a little pale. Being in good spirits did not mean that there was nothing wrong with her body.
"Okay, if we don't want to be watched, we'd better go back to the tent honestly. There are too many things happening here, especially the magic. Muggles will definitely notice it. Tonight's work is very busy, and Vanlin, your body..."
"I have some potions. Dumbledore thought of this..." Vanlin said quickly.
In fact, this was prepared by Nicolas Flamel and Dumbledore respectively.
It seems that the two legendary wizards had long anticipated that Vanlin would use the Philosopher's Stone at all costs. These are potions for repairing the body, extracted from the blood of various creatures, but in terms of taste...
This is really too hard to drink. He is not a vampire. No one would have any excessive thoughts about drinking a mixture of blood and herbs.
Unless you are a giant, those things eat prey raw. (To be continued)
