Chapter 1252 ? Delay
The armed Aurors were taken aback by his words for a moment, but they were well-trained and continued to operate according to the previous order, but began to send people back to the ministry to report the situation on the spot.
But the other ordinary wizards seemed much flustered, they couldn't imagine what would happen to law and order if there were no patrolling Aurors on the street.
Especially those immigrants who have already endured one ordeal, also kept quiet and no longer applauded and cheered for the arrest of armed Aurors like before. The atmosphere of silence was depressing. The local Ministry of Magic in their hometown could not control social security. That would have given the Death Eaters an opportunity to cause them to suffer so much, and moving to the UK was because of his safety.

Algie Longbottom raised the camera in his hand, especially the bleeding witch, and even zoomed in to take a lot of close-ups. "Are you crazy? What use is this kind of public opinion to Harris now? They even killed people..." Hector was terrified, and he looked outside vigilantly for fear of being discovered by those Aurors. What else can you bring?"
"Scrimgeour has done a good job, it will attract Harris' attention." Algie Longbottom patted the camera in his hand lightly, "Of course I don't want to let the media publish this, but to show it to Dumbledore Yes, tell him all these things, and then let him come forward to persuade Harris to calm down, I don't think it's a big problem..."
"Longbottom, don't be stupid! Even if Dumbledore wanted to, he might not be able to solve the problem. Harris didn't care too much about his face before." Foley clenched his hands under the sleeves of his magic robe, "It's best not to be tough, we should...Sirius...yes! We should contact Sirius. He has an unusual relationship with Harris. Although he has a bad temper and is very resistant to pure blood, but from the perspective of affection Triggered ones are easier to convince...Don't forget our original intention, just make sure Harris isn't trying to catch us all!"
"I still have to say, maybe Owen will have this idea, but I don't think Alan Harris will agree with his father to do this." Amelia shook her head and emphasized, "The problem this time is that those people went too far. Yes, first he supported the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters, and then assassinated Malfoy and Owen successively. It is normal for Harris to have this reaction... It is just that the method has lost some control. Harris doesn’t care if we say it, but we are not Berk. The kind of family that does dirty work." Her tone was a little proud, "So as long as we make sure we don't commit crimes, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of. What we are doing now is actually just hoping to find a way to calm Harris down. It's just peace in the wizarding world."
Alger didn't speak but nodded with difficulty.
"There is also self-protection..." Foley reminded weakly, "Scremgeour may aggravate Harris' anger... Maybe we should take the initiative to make friends with the Ministry of Magic? Ask our people to help maintain law and order temporarily?"
"Instead of us sending people to maintain law and order, it's better to take the lead in asking Harris to ask the umbrella people to help, and giving them a reason is much better than sending people yourself." Amelia Bones helped her wear it Monocle, "I also disagree with Scrimgeour's approach. It will cause more harm to innocent people. He did something wrong this time because of anger, but he deserves more consideration for him...so much The fact that the patrolling Aurors are willing to protest with him is a testament to his character, and we should try to keep him."
At the desk of the Minister of Magic, Owen leaned his whole body on the leather swivel chair, stroking his forehead with his hand, while Lun sat opposite him straight, holding a roster in his hand.
"Father, Mafalda Hopkirk of the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office has formally submitted her resignation, and I have approved it." Lun pulled the personnel information form belonging to the witch from the roster and put it in Owen. On the desktop in front of her, "According to your previous instructions, in order not to let the staff feel that we are going to arrest us internally, so as to avoid causing turmoil in the ministry and causing bad influence, we gave her a decent,
She was allowed to resign on her own initiative and was not arrested. "
"It's just an ordinary assistant, mainly responsible for paperwork...it's of no value." Owen picked it up and glanced at it, then threw it back on the table uninterestedly, "Where's that Runcorn who has the same name as Albert?"
"Father, the Ministry of Magic's warning letter and trial letter were all issued by Hopkirk. She leaked part of the list prepared internally, and was caught by armed Aurors..." Lun said in this gray-haired little man There was a dot on the witch's head, "As for that Albert Runcorn... Father, you know that he is usually domineering and fierce. Many people in the ministry are afraid of him...Of course we are not, but he will soon If I haven’t accepted it yet, I will continue to put pressure on him.”
"Once we get the handle this time, we will definitely not allow them to stay in the Ministry of Magic. If they don't want to resign voluntarily, give them a warning. If they still don't want to..." Owen stood up, his voice was cold and serious, and he squeezed his palms together , "Don't worry about it, arrest it directly, after this time, it will not be so justifiable to do it again."
"Yes, father, we are gentle enough to them, and we can only blame them if we can't seize the opportunity." Lun immediately stood up straight, and handed another part of the roster in his hand to his father, "Father, these It is a new batch of names related to those pure-bloods and Death Eaters that came out of the interrogation... Do you want to continue to arrest? Our recent actions are not very popular with the British Aboriginal wizards..."
"Of course we will continue to catch! We can do some shows after cleaning up the reputation and then we can get it back. The results of the interrogation came out, who did the bombing?" Owen flipped through the lists casually, and then put them aside, a little Gritting his teeth, he asked, "The interrogation result is out, but who did the bombing? Why haven't I seen it yet? Which family wants to assassinate me?"
"Still no one admits that Veritaserum is useless...Even the masters of the Ministry's instigmatism didn't get any useful information from them." Seeing his father's angry expression, Lun quickly said, "But Figured out who sent a potted plant to assassinate Malfoy, which was done by the Burst family. I guess the bombing was a private action of some pureblood, because many purebloods who were interrogated were very angry about this, they It feels like the bombing triggered our mass arrests and thus killed them."
"Let's focus on the bombing first. The evidence of collusion with the Death Eaters is conclusive." Owen frowned and emphasized that the attack against him made him very annoyed. It would be better if he was injured, but the result was not It hurt him, but he was infected with a strange smell. For this reason, Morgan Le Fay made him unable to go home to sleep for several days. If he took time to go home to take a shower and get a change of clothes, his daughters would hate him .
"In fact, father, many purebloods thought..." Lun paused, and continued, "Boggin Burke broke down emotionally during the interrogation, and he even believed that we Harris did it himself. He taunted us, saying that we deliberately created chaos, just to trigger arrests and suppress dissidents."
"Continue the trial!" Owen casually slapped a thick publication with a human face on the spine on the table in front of him, and the human face groaned in pain, "I still need it now." To smear shit on myself for this kind of purpose?!!!"
"Cough..." Lun hurriedly lowered his head to hide his expression of being teased by his father, and barely suppressed the smile in his heart. He raised his head and adjusted his glasses, his cheeks were a little red from holding back his laughter, " Father, the person who did this either hid too deep and didn't get caught by us, or he practiced taking Veritaserum in his free time to exercise his resistance, and he must also be a wizard who is good at Occlumency …If father asks Alan to come over and make a divination, then he will have no way to hide his tracks." Lun said with a bit of embarrassment, "Actually, this attack is indeed a bit strange and seems too amateurish. I think this kind of rumor has a lot of market..."
"No, don't bother Allen, this will delay his being blamed by Mr. Lovegood! This kid is already lawless and we can't control him, so he should be taught a lesson." Thinking of the situation that his youngest son might face, Owen momentarily I feel that recently he said generously, "Actually, it doesn't really matter who did it... I'm just angry..."
Then, there were many chaotic footsteps and some yelling voices outside, and Owen was a little annoyed, "When did the Ministry of Magic become as noisy as the vegetable market? What about their upbringing?"
