Chapter 1366 ?

"Amelia, you look very rosy, which makes me very happy. Hi, Augusta, long time no see..." Dumbledore brought Lupine and the others over, and warmly greeted Mrs. Longbottom and the others. Say hello.

After a short greeting, McMillan quickly made way for the pregnant Tonks, and Amelia Bones prepared snacks and black tea for the pregnant woman before Mrs. Longbottom could speak.

The smiling Dumbledore rejected the sugar bag Algie handed over. He lowered the tip of his staff, and then pulled out a long, somewhat curved brown pipe from the tip.

Then Dumbledore gently stirred the stem of the pipe in the teacup that hadn't added sugar, but he didn't take it back, but raised the staff with his prosthetic limb, and rubbed the tip of the staff directly. The bowl of the pipe was rubbed, and then the rainbow-colored smoke burst out-each segment was interwoven with different colors, and the pipe was easily lit.

"Albus, when did you get into the habit of smoking? Smoking is not good for your health." Mrs. Longbottom raised her pointed nose, and the corners of her mouth curled down disapprovingly, "It will make your lungs The whole part turns black and makes you cough so much that you have to drink cough drops..."

Dumbledore waited patiently for the old lady to finish talking, and then lifted the stem of the cigarette and put it in his mouth, taking a sip comfortably. Immediately, colorful and constantly changing smoke rings appeared from the pipe, wobbled around in the air for a few times and then disappeared: "Augusta, it seems that you don't like shopping very much? The new store in the pipe commercial square New from the candy store...those puffs are sweet, the smoke doesn't go to my lungs, it just goes to my stomach...the condensed sweetness is very palatable..."

"But Dumbledore..." Lupine said helplessly beside him, "the therapist asked you to eat less sugar...you can bear it, but Mr. Grindelwald seems to have gained weight recently..."

"That's why I didn't use sugar packets." Dumbledore explained with a smile - in fact, the few times he stirred with pipe sugar just now, made his cup of tea sweeter than everyone in the room.

"So...Albus..." Amelia Bones adjusted her monocle. "We want to talk about the goblin and Harris thing lately..."

"They're very smart." Tonks pondered for a moment, and organized his words, "After two rebellion failures, they have a correct understanding of the power of wizards...Although I'm on vacation, my colleagues Tell me, this time the goblins are very cooperative and obedient to the Ministry of Magic's judgment, and there is no change in Gringotts."

"Actually, I don't think Amelia and the others are Gringotts in England." Dumbledore adjusted his crescent-shaped glasses.

"That's right, that's exactly what we're worried about." The vulture hat on Mrs. Longbottom's head nodded slightly, "I heard that some countries have seen the benefits of the British magic community taking control of the economy. Blinded by their own interests, they did not seriously consider the situation in their own country,

It seems to have the meaning of wanting to follow suit. "

Mr. McMillan nodded rhythmically on the ground with his feet: "The powerful magic world like the United States and France can still give it a try. Those Ministry of Magic whose own strength and economy are very weak... If you only care about the benefits of envy, it is completely If you blindly imitate Britain without considering your own strength, I am afraid it will bring turmoil to the country."

"Albus, although we have become members of the review committee..." Amelia tilted her head and rubbed her wrinkled forehead, "but the current world makes me more and more incomprehensible..."

"Let's just get straight to the point." Mrs. Augusta Longbottom looked at Dumbledore for a moment, "Albus, now the Dark Lord himself and even the British wizarding world can no longer make trouble... We have been fighting for justice and justice. The peace of the magic world is supporting you and your Order of the Phoenix, now can you give us some guidance... Should we support Harris' actions against goblins and other countries? How far do they want to go..."

A plate of Lupine and Tonks looked at each other, and he wanted to understand the purpose of these pure bloods.

Since Dumbledore had to leave Hogwarts and experienced the incident of transferring Harry, there has been no conflict between him and Harris recently, and he is now basically in a relaxed state of semi-retirement... Now because of Grindelwald’s relationship, Harris has become closer again. These pure bloods lack intelligence because they are not regarded as real allies by Harris—and although they are traditional pure bloods, they have always been more righteous. And tradition, so I want to determine some of Harris' plans to prevent their family from getting involved in too much things, and this does not prevent them from wanting to make profits for their family in a reasonable direction.

"To be honest, I have always been against some ideas of Harris...mainly Alan Harris, but after retiring, I have observed and determined that there is not only one correct path." Dumbledore Holding the staff in his skinny hand, he leaned it on the ground and took another puff of the smoked sugar in the pipe, "I'm too conservative, and I don't have the confidence to reach the level of Alan, that's because I'm old... His style and I'm different, I used to think he was wrong, but now it seems that he has not been wrong...so maybe it's me who is wrong, he is young, this is something that I don't have anymore...maybe that's why... Anyway, now UK The situation in the wizarding world... is something I have never dreamed of even in the best of my imagination." He put down his pipe and said seriously, "So if you want to ask me for my own opinion, of course I support Harris and support them. Let the wizards control their own economic lifeline... As long as this process prevents the magic world from having such a big turmoil, and it doesn't involve the sacrifice of many people, I will definitely support it... This is what we wizards need, isn't it?"

"I think you've heard... there are some other countries now..." Amelia became more serious when she saw Dumbledore expressing her attitude, "The Bones family has indeed benefited from the cooperation with the Muggle government with the help of the Ministry of Magic." , but Albus, you know our concerns..."

Mrs. Longbottom pursed her lips and stared at Dumbledore. She somewhat understood Dumbledore's thoughts. He saw an opportunity in the transaction cooperation between Harris' Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government to achieve his long-cherished wish—except In addition to getting rid of the Dark Lord, Dumbledore's biggest wish is probably to get more fair treatment for wizards in the wizarding world.

"To be honest, the Ministry of Magic handed those precious and rare magics to little wizards of half-blood and Muggle origins, but now it turns Muggles into wizards..." Algie Longbottom scratched his head, and said gruffly Grossly complaining, "It's like magic is worth nothing..."

"Algie!" Mrs. Longbottom immediately reprimanded him severely.

"Stay near the temple and you can feel it, right?" Tonks shook his gorgeous purple hair, turned his head to the right and looked confused, "So everyone should focus on supporting Ravenc How about their fight against Reaper? I mean, if you don't do anything, at least you shouldn't trouble them, right?"

"Actually, the number of Muggles who are transformed every year won't be too many, right?... I heard that this kind of ritual consumes a lot of power... After all, it changes the reality..." Lupine looked at himself knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he was a little submissive, "Economy and I think everyone has feelings about the problems in life, so I don’t need to say more. Let me talk about my own feelings... Now many werewolves are willing to go to the registration office to register. The Ministry of Magic is really helping us live in the magic world. Coupled with those new drugs... the number of people infected every year is almost negligible now, and I think it may disappear completely after our group of people are no longer in this world, and the Ministry of Magic controlled by Harris has indeed benefited the magic world."

"This is what makes me really happy. Compared with what I originally imagined, the Harris family is actually much more selfless than everyone thought." Dumbledore stroked his long beard and said lightly, "They do have selfish intentions, but who among us here can really do it? Harris does plan to help other countries establish their own wizarding banks... It's not that they plan to open their own Harris Wizarding Banks to other countries to become A new kind of monopoly, but intends to help the Ministry of Magic of other countries set up their own banks...."

"In terms of business with Muggles, I didn't take advantage of magic to squeeze and be harsh on those Muggles, but wanted to achieve a win-win situation." The mixed-race Tonks echoed, "Magic those Muggle things After transformation, our quality of life is much better than a few years ago, isn't it?"

The pure-bloods are a little silent. Because they conflict with traditional ideas, their conservative attitude towards these things makes them always feel awkward and uneasy even if they are Harris' allies in the eyes of outsiders.

"In addition, I do have another piece of news that I can tell you..." Dumbledore smiled slightly: "Mr. Babajid Akinbad, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, plans to resign as president recently. .”
