Chapter 1366? Resignation as President
"Amelia, you look very rosy, which is really nice. Hi, Augusta, long time no see..." Dumbledore came over with Lupin and the others, and greeted Mrs. Longbottom and the others enthusiastically. Say hello.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Macmillan quickly made room for the pregnant Tonks. Amelia Bones started preparing snacks and black tea for the pregnant woman before Mrs. Longbottom opened her mouth.
The smiling Dumbledore rejected the sugar packet handed over by Algie. He lowered the head of his staff, and then pulled out a long, somewhat curved brown pipe from the head of the staff.
Then Dumbledore used the stem of the pipe to gently stir the tea cup without adding any extra sugar, but he did not take it back. Instead, he raised the staff with his prosthetic limb and rubbed it directly with the tip of the staff. Rubbing the bowl of the pipe, rainbow-colored smoke came out - each section was made up of different colors, and the pipe was lit easily.
"Albus, when did you get into the habit of smoking? Smoking is not good for your health." Mrs. Longbottom raised her pointed nose and lowered the corners of her mouth in disapproval, "It will damage your lungs." The head turns black and makes you cough so much that you have to drink cough drops..."
Dumbledore waited patiently for the old lady to finish counting, then raised the cigarette rod and put it into his mouth and took a pleasant sip. Immediately, colorful and ever-changing smoke rings appeared from the pipe, wandering precariously in the air for a few times before disappearing: "Augusta, it seems that you don't like shopping very much? That new store in the Pipe Commercial Plaza? A new product from the candy store...the smoke that comes out is sweet, the smoke will not enter my lungs, only my stomach...the concentrated sweetness is very palatable..."
"But Dumbledore..." Lupine said helplessly, "The therapist asked you to eat less sugar... You can bear it, but Mr. Grindelwald seems to have gained weight recently..."
"So I didn't use a sugar packet." Dumbledore explained with a smile - in fact, the few times he stirred it with pipe sugar just now made his cup of tea sweeter than everyone else here.
"So... Albus..." Amelia Bones adjusted her monocle, "We want to talk about the recent incident with the Goblin and Harris..."
"They are very smart." Tonks pondered for a moment and sorted out her words. "After two failed rebellions, they have a correct understanding of the power of wizards... Although I am on vacation, my colleagues Tell me, this time the goblins were very cooperative and obeyed the Ministry of Magic's decision, and there was no abnormality in Gringotts."
"Actually, I think Amelia and the others are not the British Gringotts." Dumbledore adjusted his crescent-shaped glasses.
"Yes, this is what we are worried about." Mrs. Longbottom nodded the vulture hat on her head. "I heard that some countries have seen the benefits of the British wizarding community taking control of the economy, and have been overwhelmed by the huge power of the British. Blinded by their own interests, they did not seriously consider the situation in their own country, and seemed to want to follow suit."
Mr. Macmillan tapped the soles of his feet rhythmically on the ground: "Powerful magical communities like the United States and France can still give it a try. Those Ministry of Magic whose own strength and economy are weak... If you only care about the benefits of jealousy, it will be completely Without considering one's own strength, blindly following the British example may 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 world now makes it increasingly difficult for me to understand..."
"Let's be direct." Mrs. Augusta Longbottom looked at Dumbledore for a moment, "Albus, now the Dark Lord himself and even the British wizarding community can no longer make trouble... We have been fighting for justice and The peace of the wizarding world is supporting you and your Order of the Phoenix. Now can you give us some guidance... Should we support Harris's actions against the goblins and other nations? What exactly do they want to achieve..."
Lupine and Tonks looked at each other and he understood the purpose of these purebloods.
Since Dumbledore had to leave Hogwarts and experienced the incident of transferring Harry, he has no conflicts with Harris recently and is now basically in a leisurely state of semi-retirement... Now because of Grindelwald's relationship, they have become closer to Harris. These purebloods lack intelligence because they are not regarded as true allies by Harris - and although they are traditional purebloods, they have always been more righteous. and tradition, so I want to confirm some of Harris's plans to prevent their family from getting involved in excessive 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 dissatisfied with some of the ideas of Harris...mainly Alan Harris. However, after retirement, I observed and determined that the right path is not just one." Dumbledore Holding the staff in his skinny hand, he leaned it on the ground and took another puff of smoke candy from his pipe. "I'm too conservative and don't have the confidence to do what Allen does. That's because I'm old...his style and I'm different, I used to think he was wrong, but now it seems he hasn't been wrong...so maybe that's why I was wrong, he's young and it's something I don't have anymore...maybe that's why...Anyway, now in the UK The situation in the wizarding world...is something I never expected in my best assumptions." He put down his pipe and said seriously, "So if you want to ask my personal opinion, of course I support Harris and them. Let wizards control their own economic lifeline... As long as this process prevents such big turmoil in the magic world and is not bought at the expense of many people, I will definitely support it... This is what we wizards need, isn't it?"
"I think you heard... Now there are some other countries..." Amelia's expression became more solemn when she saw Dumbledore's attitude. "The Bones family has indeed made profits by cooperating with the Muggle government with the help of the Ministry of Magic." , but Albus, you know our worries..."
Mrs. Longbottom pursed her lips and stared at Dumbledore. She somewhat understood Dumbledore's thoughts. He saw an opportunity to achieve his long-cherished wish in the cooperation between Harris's Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government - except Apart from getting rid of the Dark Lord, Dumbledore's greatest wish is probably to give wizards in the magical world more fair treatment.
"To be honest, the Ministry of Magic only handed over those precious and rare magics to young wizards of mixed blood and Muggle origin, but now they are turning Muggles into wizards..." Algie Longbottom scratched his head and said harshly. Complained gruffly, "It's like magic is worth nothing..."
"Algie!" Mrs. Longbottom immediately scolded him sternly.
"You can all feel it when you stay near the temple, right?" Tonks shook her gorgeous purple hair, tilting her head to the right and looking confused, "So should everyone focus on supporting Ravenc Are you asking them to fight against the God of Death? I mean, even if you don’t do anything, at least you shouldn’t cause trouble for them, right?”
"In fact, the number of Muggles who are transformed every year will not be too many, right?... I heard that this kind of ritual consumes a lot of divine power... After all, it changes reality..." Lupine looked at Algi who knew he had made a mistake and was a little submissive, "Economic 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... Nowadays, many werewolves are willing to go to the registration office to register. The Ministry of Magic is really helping us live in the magical world. Coupled with those new drugs...the number of infections every year is now almost negligible. I think lycanthropy may completely disappear after our group of people are no longer in this world. The Ministry of Magic controlled by Harris has indeed benefited the wizarding world."
"This is what makes me really happy. Compared to what I originally imagined, the Harris family is actually much more selfless than everyone originally thought. UU看书www.uukanshu.net" Dumbledore touched his own Long Beard said relaxedly, "They do have selfish motives, but who of us here can really do it? The Harrises do intend to help other countries build their own wizard banks... They are not planning to turn their own Harris Wizard Bank It will become a new monopoly by opening it to other countries, but intends to help the Ministry of Magic in other countries establish their own banks..."
"When it comes to business with Muggles, we don't use the advantages of magic to squeeze and be harsh on those Muggles, but want to achieve a win-win situation." The mixed-blood Tonks echoed, "Magic those Muggle things After the transformation, our quality of life is much better than it was a few years ago, isn’t it?”
The purebloods are somewhat silent. Due to the conflict with traditional ideas, their conservative attitude towards these things makes them always feel awkward and uneasy even if they are considered allies of Harris by outsiders.
"In addition, I do have news that I can tell you..." Dumbledore smiled slightly: "Mr. Babajide Akinbad, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, recently plans to resign as president. .”
