Chapter 1256 ? Need This Fire
"Penello, have you adjusted to life at home now? The magic world is not peaceful recently, so we need to make the guards pay more attention." Owen gathered a few wrinkles on his raised forehead, "Luna and Allen are too ...They are also weird in Ravenclaw College?" He shook his head and sighed, "Morgan Le Fay told me that you are very careful and take good care of others, I remember when you were in the college The president of the female student council must be good at educating future generations...It will definitely make people feel more at ease if you become a mother."
Penello, who was suddenly asked an irrelevant topic, was stunned for a while, and then said confidently: "I also believe that I can take good care of my children...Little Patricia has learned well recently."
"Things can't be finished. I see it this way. Since you have finished the tasks here and there is nothing to do in a short time, let Alan take you to relax for a few days? Don't put all your energy on work. Family It's the most important thing." Owen asked with increasing concern.
Penelock suppressed her constant joy and excitement. She felt that the other party's words actually had a hint of meaning: she is the daughter-in-law most recognized by Harris's parents-this made the corners of her lips curl up, feeling It was as refreshing as taking Felicia, and even thought of the child's name.
"Minister..." Mother Wolf leaned over, and her slightly hoarse magnetic voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between Owen and Penello, "Amelia Bones from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has come and said she wants something Discuss."
"Hmm..." Owen patted his feet on the ground lightly, and pondered for a while, "These neutrals... It seems that they also understand that after the fire, Scrimgeour's position will become precarious..." Owen's tone was somewhat Annoyed, "The position of Scrimgeour puts Albert and us in the throat. Since Ms. Burns wants to come to me... it depends on their sincerity."
Hearing Scrimgeour, thinking of the conflict a few days ago, Penello's face was covered with a layer of gloom, and he coldly turned the wand in his hand and retreated without saying a word.
In the daytime after the Ministry of Magic suffered a fire, in front of the temple of Ravenclaw in the floating city of Hogwarts, armed Aurors replaced the umbrella red department to maintain order here.
Due to the temporary maintenance of the Ministry of Magic, the meetings will be arranged in the chapel temporarily arranged as a conference room in the Ravenclaw Temple.
The arson incident of the Ministry of Magic building has become a turmoil overnight, and the media flocked to get first-hand information, gathering in large numbers outside the interception line set up by the Aurors, trying to interview every high-level Ministry of Magic who entered—— Until the arrival of Minister of Magic Owen.
The reporters immediately gave up on the object in front of them and squeezed in front of Owen with long guns and short cannons. They straightened their arms and stretched the microphone forward to the interception line, and asked questions loudly, trying to get a response from Owen.
"Minister Harris, are there any suspects?"
"What action will Secretary Harris take?"
"Have you heard that this is a conspiracy by the Death Eaters?"
...
Owen stopped in his tracks and turned to face the media. Unlike the usual gentle and gentle feeling, his face was full of anger at this time. He raised his right hand with five fingers together and pointed in the direction of the temple: "This Fire is the signal from Merlin and Ravenclaw! We have been revenged by the Death Eaters! And we will take revenge back!"
Hearing Owen's angry reprimand and confirming the rumor that the murderer was a Death Eater, the reporters all winked at their cameras and asked them to capture the scene in front of them, but they didn't make too much noise to avoid affecting Owen's speech.
"In the previous stage, the Ministry of Magic obtained conclusive evidence that some pure-blood families supported Voldemort and the Death Eaters, so they carried out effective arrests and interrogations, further hitting the Death Eaters' power...but now the arm has the Dark Mark Death Eaters disguised as Italian protesters blatantly set fire to the Ministry of Magic, which is their revenge and provocation against the previous actions of the Ministry of Magic! We have reason to suspect that this is a not-so-subtle jailbreak!" Owen seemed to be Suppressing his anger, "Although the Mysterious Man and his Death Eaters seem to be insane and the action failed,
But nothing particularly precious and irreparable was burned on the upper two floors of the main hall, but the "Magic Brothers Fountain" belonging to us in England has been swallowed up by Fiendfire and inevitably destroyed... This is a shameful crime! It is a provocation and insult to the British magic community! This is a shameful crime, and I believe there must be more criminals behind the scenes! "
"Minister Harris, does this mean that the previous arrests will continue?"
"Minister Harris, does the Ministry of Magic have any plans for maintaining law and order in the magic world?"
"Minister Harris, does the Ministry of Magic under attack need to let the armed Aurors sent out to maintain law and order return to the Ministry of Protection?"
"The Ministry of Magic will not be intimidated by threats from anyone or forces. Aurors will not give up protecting the people and come back to protect the safety of us Ministry of Magic officials. The Ministry of Magic will continue to strengthen security prevention and control, and give priority to protecting ordinary wizards. Do your best to protect their personal and property safety... As for the arrest issue, yes, the arrest will not end, and the Ministry of Magic will not adopt the previous style of making big things into small things. As long as you commit a crime, as long as you collude with Death Eaters, you will be I will definitely not be able to escape the sanctions of the Ministry of Magic!" Owen said with his head raised, and he waved his hand, "As for the staff of the Ministry of Magic, we are prepared to endure hardships. Since the defense force is not enough, then we can completely protect them in the Ravenclaw Temple in the floating city. The office is temporarily arranged to handle affairs. In the face of any provocation by any force, we will not be afraid of any difficulties we will encounter, and we will never waste Auror resources, and concentrate all our efforts to protect the lives and properties of our ordinary wizards."
Just to add a word, the chasing book app I am using recently, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \\ ] caches books and reads offline!
Rita Skeeter and Owen in the reporter group looked at each other, and she asked loudly: "Minister Harris, in view of the fact that the head of the Auror Office, Rufus Scrimgeour, led the patrolling Auror strike, there is a serious shortage of manpower to maintain law and order. , May I ask what solution the Ministry of Magic has for this? Who should be responsible for the turbulent situation? The Bones, Longbottom, Foley and other families proposed to use the armed forces of the umbrella to assist the armed Aurors in maintaining law and order. The Ministry of Magic How do you think about it?"
"We will discuss the issue of the umbrella at the meeting." Irving faced the camera, "but let the umbrella participate in national-level work such as maintaining law and order...I hope Rufus can return to work sooner." Owen seemed very sincere, "Now that the iconic monument-like fountain in the British wizarding world has been destroyed, our civilization is under attack. I think even if there are differences in law enforcement, it should be discussed at a meeting like today ...As for the occurrence of this arson case, as long as Director Scrimgeour is still a member of the Ministry of Magic...I, the Minister of Magic, must be responsible for my subordinates."
The group of reporters, represented by Rita and others, took the lead in expressing some consolation and praise. Owen took out his pocket watch, checked the time and stopped accepting interviews from reporters. He walked towards the Ravenclaw Temple. Those reporters still wanted to follow closely. He chased after him and asked, but was immediately stopped by the Aurors protecting Owen.
Algie Longbottom, who was walking into the temple, clasped his hands in front of him, and tilted his head slightly to Hector Foley, who was beside him, and said sarcastically: "It seems that Owen needs this severe situation more than Herbert in prison. fire…"
Foley kept his mouth tightly shut and resolutely refrained from making any comments on Harris in public, but he knew in his heart that the other party used his own people to mention Scrimgeour, which was a warning and pressure on neutral pure-blood families like them. , to ensure that they will wait for their actions at the meeting-proposing that the umbrella intervene in security inspections is just a trivial matter, and Scrimgeour, who was stimulated before, is still stubbornly not persuaded by them to stop the strike.
In essence, since Burns invited Owen to discuss with them in the early morning, the problem of Scrimgeour itself is no longer a big problem. Today's meeting itself is the key to determine the future direction of the British magic world.
