Chapter 678 Planning

Chapter 678

After the dinner, the lobby on the first floor of the tower building.

"The handover of positions has been successfully completed. We have more control over the Ministry of Magic than any of the previous thirty-two ministers. However, Cornelius Fudge, who has always been more cooperative, what do you think is more appropriate to arrange him? "After taking a sip of his wine, Mr. Owen Harris looked at everyone with a pleasant face.

Lun tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, "As the former minister, although he made a serious mistake because of the mysterious man's incident, he fully cooperated in the subsequent actions. We appeased the subordinate and let him do it After all this, stepping down naked will make us look too ugly, do you want to give him a division? At least let others know that our Harris family is not a family that crosses rivers and destroys bridges."

"Just let Connelly be a deputy minister." Owen Harris narrowed his eyes and said to his second son, "The director's actual authority is greater, and it doesn't sound as good as a deputy minister. Anyway, Connelly is not too old. When I grow up, I will retire after a few years, so let him stay by my side. I think he will be satisfied with this position, and this is for the outside world, at least for ordinary wizards who don't know the secrets of the Ministry of Magic. Saying it makes us appear less threatening."

Lun nodded, holding the quill pen, and quickly wrote some drafts of new arrangements on the parchment.

While Lun was writing furiously, Mr. Owen Harris was concerned about his youngest son's personal follow-up arrangements: "Alan, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to continue teaching at Hogwarts? Continue Studying at Hogwarts doesn't mean much to you, why don't you just come to the Ministry of Magic? Hogwarts asks for a long vacation under the name of Hogwarts and then directly takes the N.E.W.T exam? Lavin...Luna you Do you want to do this with Hermione?"

"That's right, Ellen, you can be the director of the Auror Office, and you who chased Voldemort away, you can go to the Auror Office. I don't think there is any reason for that annoying Scrimgeour to rely on his position." Pene Luo's eyes lit up, and he used his quick wit as a student of Ravenclaw College to make a suggestion full of selfish desires that was quite high-sounding.

"Sorry Penelope, Father. But I have to keep going back to Hogwarts, I promised Helga and, well, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, would bring the school back on track, I will carry out a teaching reform at Hogwarts. And directly working in the Ministry of Magic will not help us Harris much, we have already controlled the Ministry of Magic." Allen put the teacup in his hand on the table , with his arms resting on the arm of the chair, and his hands folded on his chest, "and college life is an indispensable and precious part of our wizarding life. I think there are a lot of wizards who are willing to pay a lot of money to return to Hogwarts." When I was a student, I set foot on that little train to the country of dreams at the beginning of school.”

Hermione was a little worried when she heard Owen's proposal just now. Although she also thought that she would learn nothing in school, with the rise of the grade and the control of the training class, it was different from the situation of the lower grades. She actually doesn't want to end her school career just like this without a lot of friends. She prefers to follow the steps she planned before instead of suddenly changing the plan due to sudden inspiration. She also plans to finish her studies at Hogwarts as usual first. .

"But this may conflict with Dumbledore in advance." Lun, who was writing, looked up a little worried: "Dumbledore has contacted us in the past few days, trying to talk to you or father, but at that time father was busy with the Ministry of Magic. Hand over, Alan, you stayed in the detection room every day at that time, and my father pushed back the time of the conversation, and the question that Dumbledore wanted to talk to you seemed to be based on the teaching issue as the headmaster."

"Alan's previous course was offered with the permission of the Ministry of Magic and the consent of the school directors. Although Dumbledore has resumed his status as the principal, he cannot directly cancel this course." Owen patted Lun on the shoulder to comfort him. He turned his head to Allen and said, "I didn't see him before, except because of the Ministry of Magic, because I didn't know what you meant.

However, given our current attitude towards other native families, if they get in touch with Dumbledore and rely on the shares of the school trustees and the power of the headmaster to take the legal route, even if Lun holds the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, it will be delayed by more than half at most. Semester, Alan, what do you think? "

"Don't worry, Father, Len. I told you before that Godric Gryffindor handed over his authority as founder to me. If Headmaster Dumbledore really tried to insist on his I think it is the correct way of education to control Hogwarts. At worst, I will just remove his authority. The law and the so-called shares of those school directors cannot help Dumbledore. Hostile to him, if those school managers don't know what to do, their descendants can only go to the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France..." Allen didn't pay much attention to the news. Before he fell into the veil, he and Dumbledore During the conversation, the other party proposed this conversation, and Allen had no intention of compromising at that time, let alone now.

Albert, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help worrying about his younger brother and wanted to say something, but was pulled by his fiancée Fu Rong to signal him not to talk too much, but Albert just shook Fu Rong's hand and shook his head softly to comfort him. Said: "Don't worry dear, our family doesn't have so many rules like other families, don't you understand after you've been here for so long?" After finishing speaking, Albert turned to face his youngest brother: "Alan , but if the conflict between you and Dumbledore escalates... You know, he is the greatest White Wizard in the world after all, defeated Mr. Grindelwald in a duel, and protected Harry in the Goblet of Fire in the fourth year While facing You-Know-Who and his men alone..."

"Albert is right, Ellen, we'd better not take such a risk, or mom will be more worried about you..." Daisy turned her head and glanced at the kitchen, after making sure that the mother inside hadn't heard their conversation , She continued: "Tonks told me that when Moody recently preached in the bar that you did not drive Voldemort away by yourself during the Ministry of Magic war, although Dumbledore later asked other members of the Order of the Phoenix Everyone saw that he didn't allow him to talk nonsense and made people panic, but it is estimated that some Aurors with other families standing behind them and those Death Eaters who hide their faces are also rumored... and Luna's real identity is also being rumored By the way, many people heard Hermione's conversation with her in the arch, but now there are too many rumors, and basically everyone thinks it's nonsense when they hear the news..."

Hermione felt that the relationship between Harris and Dumbledore shouldn't be so hostile all at once, and she couldn't help worrying about Alan because of Albert and Daisy's words: "Alan, Hogwarts teaching is useful. Question, but don't we have legitimate reasons? We can try to convince Dumbledore that he should take responsibility in this matter, but we don't have to be so drastic... You don't want to take risks yourself anymore, we can find more Safer way..."

"You're still so naive, Dumbledore obviously won't listen to it." Penello, who knew it wasn't just a conflict of educational ideas behind it, obviously sneered at Hermione's, "If he doesn't do it, we have nothing to do. If we contact the school manager, the law will be on Dumbledore's side, but if we do...we will make Dumbledore a criminal again, do we need to talk to him one-on-one to deal with a criminal?"

Allen waited quietly for everyone to finish speaking, then he took another sip of black tea, waved his hands and said to his family with a relaxed face: "I don't think you understand how much I have grown up in ancient times when I tell you, In short, Voldemort and Dumbledore are no match for me - in fact, Luna can do this sort of thing even without me."

"What?! Alan, are you sure... that's Dumbledore... oh..." Xenophilius, who had just joined the tower, hadn't spoken until after hearing Alan say that he had always supported and trusted Dumbledore. When Lido was not his opponent, he reflexively wanted to refute and disbelieve him, but then he remembered his daughter Luna and her identity, which made him realize that he was on the wrong side of the sentence just now, and it seemed that he couldn't beat him because it was a little abnormal ...

Xenophilius stared at Hermione and Penelope with dissatisfaction. He never thought that Allen would attack his daughter so quickly, and his relationship with them was not as good as it is today. I understand that the change of identity has changed his attitude. If his precious daughter hadn't emphasized to him several times to tell him not to talk about this matter, he would definitely have to find Harris to make a fuss about it. Make a fuss—and now, Xenophilius plans to have a good talk with his daughter in private to persuade her to change her mind. Even though he now knows that his daughter is so much older than himself, the sense of responsibility as a father But it didn't disappear. He couldn't let Alan mess around with his daughter's temper.

"If this is the case, Alan, you should return to Hogwarts! But Alan, don't drive Dumbledore out immediately, just let those school managers form an alliance with him!" Owen Harris was silent After a short while, then his eyes lit up: "Don't worry, let go of your reforms... By the way, the Ministry of Magic has won another first-class Merlin Medal for you, Hermione and Penello, because of your Arnie Magus played a role in the previous War of the Ministry of Magic after being transformed, and you each won a second-level medal. In this way, the medals of you and Penello, Alan, will be issued to you by me in the Ministry of Magic. , Hermione’s at that time, it was arranged at Hogwarts, and you, the Hogwarts professor, will announce it to Hermione.”

"When the Ministry of Magic awards, arrange for a few reporters to ask a few questions, and we will resolve those rumors along the way." Allen nodded and understood what his father meant, and then he turned to Xenophilius: "Since Enough business, Mr. Lovegood, about the TV station... eh? Mr. Lovegood..."

"Alan, what do you need the TV station to do? Just tell me and I'll come down to make arrangements..." Seeing that the crazy Xenophilius was still lost in his own thoughts, Fu Rong replaced the seemingly unreliable Xenophilius The head of the TV station responded to Allen.

"Oh, it's like this. I think the TV station can play some Muggle movies in prime time these days. The constant broadcast of news and Quidditch and other content has made the audience lose their freshness. We should broadcast some pure entertainment. The program allows the audience to get some relaxation in this stressful and tense atmosphere..." Allen pretended to be unintentional and suggested, and added after taking another sip of tea: "I have taught in Muggle schools before. , some things that Muggles call sci-fi movies are quite interesting, but remember to declare that the content is fictionalized by Muggles when playing it, and special effects are added by Muggles... It should be said that they are illusions of Muggles, Otherwise, it is easy to cause misunderstanding…”

"Okay, no problem, I will write an application to your mother's management department to ask for permission to go through the formality, then I will postpone the broadcast of the Quidditch match at 8 o'clock in the evening, so that our TV program will broadcast The duration can also be extended..." Although I don't know why my brother-in-law suddenly became interested in TV programs, this small request is not difficult to fulfill, and Fu Rong immediately agreed.

Seeing that the conversation was over, Hermione also chit-chatted: "Speaking of Quidditch, do you know that the new Seeker for the Montrose Magpies is Cedric Diggory, who graduated from Hufflepuff. And McGonagall The professor is an avid supporter of the Montrose Magpies, and I overheard her asking Cho Chang when he would get the starting job."

"Tonks is also his supporter, just because Cedric graduated from Hufflepuff, she often brags about Cedric in front of me during this time, saying that he learned to use Woolongong in the starfish upside-down state" "Shape flight..." Daisy herself has joined the Quidditch team before and has always been very interested in the game, but unlike her best friend Tonks, she is a supporter of the Appleby Arrows.

Emily, who had been deliberately not participating in the adults' topic before, couldn't help but add: "But Cedric is really handsome..."

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Owen asked Lun to write it down in a notepad, and then looked at Luna apologetically: "I'm sorry, Luna, Xenophilius, because I didn't know what you meant before, I didn't I asked Fu Rong to broadcast your part, but I failed to win a medal for you... I don’t know if you have any other requests, Luna? In fact, if you are not in a hurry, I can give it to you in a while Run another one, you know, Cornelius Fudge used means to forcibly award himself a first-class Medal of Merlin..."

"Oh, don't worry that I don't need this." Luna turned her head to look at Owen who was asking herself, and then said suddenly: "Let me and Alan go to the Department of Mysteries to work part-time and become the silent people."
