Chapter 902 Who Will Take the Blame
"So, I want to ask the Muggles for help, see if there is a way to intercept that 'rock'..."
In the minister's office, Maca had already stood up from his chair, gesticulating with his hands, trying to add some persuasion to his idea.
Unfortunately, no matter what he said, Scrimgeour always looked embarrassed.
But to be honest, asking the Minister of Magic to discuss cooperation with Muggles... It's okay if it's just a little cooperation, but it's quite difficult for Scrimgeour to cooperate in some aspects.
For now, the wizarding and Muggle worlds remain almost completely separate. Except for the Muggle Prime Minister, in principle, even members of the royal family would not take the initiative to inform.
Of course, since wizards and Muggles lived together in ancient times, the special nature of magic will always have various direct or indirect connections with the royal family.
It is said that today's wizarding families still have dark ties to the royal family.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible to completely hide the fact from the group of Muggles who are already deeply rooted.
It's just that, because the stable development of the European magic world is almost entirely maintained by the "International Statute of Secrecy", anyone who wants to take the initiative to contact Muggles must take the risk of violating wizarding laws.
If he, Rufus Scrimgeour, dares to cooperate with Muggles, let alone whether he will erase his memory afterwards, just a premise will definitely attract a lot of doubts.
And once that time comes, seeing him as a rival who is unhappy to be the minister, wouldn't he be ashamed to say that he is a strategist if he doesn't make him worse?
As a result, Scrimgeour would naturally refuse to agree.
then,
Maca's side is more of a headache.
If he had to do it, Maca could of course choose to skip Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, and go find Muggles on his own.
In fact, if he really does this, the efficiency will be improved a lot.
However, due to various obvious reasons, once the time comes, this matter will definitely not be concealed in the magic world. Once both he and Hogwarts were involved in some pro-Muggle and anti-Muggle public opinion turmoil, plus the matter of the meteorite, wouldn't that just be a convenience for Hai Erbo?
So to put it bluntly, he has to find someone who can take the blame. At most, he will help Scrimgeour relieve some of the pressure in the power struggle.
As far as blame is concerned, Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic, still has an "official" status, and some problems are much easier to deal with than him.
"...Mr. Scrimgeour, I know what you are worried about. I promise, if someone raises objections at that time, I can help you suppress those objecting voices. Besides, the actual cooperation has not been confirmed yet, that is It’s something that can only be decided after an exchange.”
Maca saw that this guy was reluctant to say anything, so he had no choice but to take the next step and try to play step by step by taking the first step.
After all, it was not that he could not understand Scrimgeour's thoughts. It's just that this time the problem is really big, and he really can't bypass Scrimgeour to do it alone.
As for Scrimgeour's side... To be honest, if someone else came to talk to him about these things, even the president of the Federation would only get a straightforward rejection.
But now Maca is here, which makes it difficult for him to say "no" with righteous words.
Since he took office until now, Maca has helped him several times, not to mention, and brought him a lot of political achievements. If he doesn't kill himself next time, he will most likely be able to win re-election in the next election.
If you don't give Maca any face at all, in case you get angry... It's a trivial matter if you take him off the stage, then there will be no place to cry!
"Mr. McLean, this matter...I really dare not help you! That...you really can't solve it in other ways? Otherwise, I'll ask the silent people from the Department of Mysteries to think about it together Method?"
Upon hearing this, Maca shook her head helplessly.
"You can try it, but it's best not to have too much hope... Actually, as I said just now, even if I want to cooperate with Muggles, I have to communicate with them before I can reach a conclusion. Otherwise, I will go to Ask clearly, after I have the result, I will come to discuss with you whether to cooperate or not!"
After he finished speaking, he gave Scrimgeour another reassuring look.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't skip the Ministry of Magic on this matter, I understand the pros and cons of it."
Scrimgeour watched the back of Maca leaving, and he smiled helplessly until the latter left his office.
"Of course you're not skipping the Ministry of Magic."
...
After coming out of the Ministry of Magic, Maca didn't go directly to the Muggle world to find someone.
As far as he is concerned, although he definitely understands science and technology better than other wizards, but as a "former Muggle", he is nothing more than an ordinary person in the final analysis.
So before going to communicate, he must at least make full preparations in terms of magic that he is good at.
To be honest, he actually didn't feel that with the current level of the Muggle world, he could intercept a meteorite that was rushing towards the earth.
In the end, the greatest possibility is that he and the Muggles will "cooperate" in the true sense, and cooperate with each other to get rid of the stone that is about to be said to be too big or too small.
As for how much you can do with only three months left, it depends on your luck...
When Maca returned to Hogwarts, the campus was already lively again.
Today is the last day of Christmas activities, and there are obviously fewer people than the previous two days—especially the wizards from outside the school have decreased a lot.
But in terms of the atmosphere, it hasn't changed at all, and the wizards and wizards staying at Hogwarts are still in high spirits.
Just talking about Maca's secret departure and hasty return last night, naturally few people know about it, let alone the appalling crisis of "a meteorite will fall to the ground in three months' time".
In this regard, whether it is Maca, McGonagall or Scrimgeour, of course they all know the troubles after the panic spreads. Therefore, it is a matter of course that no one knows when the three current only insiders keep silent.
It's a pity...if only the three of them knew about it!
Maca is now worried that Haierbo will take advantage of this incident to make a big fuss secretly. After all, even if the words are unfounded, there is no guarantee that the mean guy will come up with some sinister ways to make trouble.
Maca understood now that the guy's usual behavior was to paralyze himself, all he wanted was to seize this most critical point and give him a heavy blow.
If Haierbo won't chase after this, he definitely doesn't believe it.
Fortunately, he still destroyed the old Youn's body last night, and it would take some time for the other party to find a replacement.
After today, Hogwarts will officially enter the three-week Christmas holiday.
All the way through the school vestibule, Maca did not attract too many people's attention. However, because he hadn't eaten anything this morning, before returning to the office, he still ran to the kitchen first, made some breakfast, and then went upstairs again.
"Hermione? Luna?"
As soon as he reached the corridor in front of the office, he immediately saw two girls guarding the door.
"Well... what's the matter? What can I do for you?"
After a short pause, he decided not to mention what happened last night for now. Just out of some guilt towards the two of them, he simply skipped the other things without saying anything.
Leaving aside Luna, judging by Hermione's performance outside his door last night, maybe it's the best choice for him to pretend that nothing happened now.
Sure enough, Hermione seemed to cooperate with Maca as if nothing had happened.
"It's nothing," she said with a smile, "Luna came to me this morning and said that she wanted to ask me a question... But who knows, what she asked was about Muggle science. How could I know that? ! So we discussed and came to find you..."
"But you weren't in the office this morning."
Luna then added something, but the words hadn't finished yet, but she heard her stomach gurgling softly.
She then touched her belly again, and said with a matter of course:
"Maka, I'm hungry."
However, Luna's face was not red at all, and Hermione looked away in embarrassment.
In fact, the two of them got together by coincidence when they got up in the morning, and while talking to each other, they came to Maca's office together logically.
From the beginning to the end, not only Luna didn't eat breakfast, but even Hermione was still hungry!
Maca couldn't help laughing immediately after hearing Luna's words.
"Are you smelling it?" He lifted the breakfast in his hand and shook it, then opened the door and said, "Eat when you're hungry! Come in... Hermione, you too!"
No matter how difficult the meteorite incident was, it would take three months before it happened, and no matter how bad it was, all the teachers and students could be transferred away in advance.
And during this period, you have to live your life as you want, and worrying all day is definitely not very meaningful.
Putting the basket containing the meals on the small table in front of the fireplace, he lifted the cloth covering his head, and immediately the air was filled with the smell of food.
Luna and Hermione twitched their noses slightly, and couldn't help swallowing—the smell made them even hungrier.
"You eat first, don't keep it for me, I can go to the kitchen again later."
After saying this, Maca turned around and lit the fireplace, and started to make tea.
Behind him, of course, Luna still didn't know what politeness was, she grabbed the bread and stuffed it into her mouth, but Hermione was really a little embarrassed.
But after hesitating for a while, she was still defeated by the aroma of food and the emptiness in her stomach.
"Well... I'll come to the kitchen to get it for you in a while."
