Chapter 1479 Minister's Intention
"Ewen, can you walk around the yard with me? Talk about the medal, don't pay attention to me, Arthur, Molly, I don't want to disturb you, after all, I heard Percy said that he hasn't come back for a long time, how much are you Chat for a while." Scrimgeour continued, "By the way, if possible, I would also like to know about the current situation at Hogwarts. As you know, my predecessor made many muddled decisions last year, Gewarts sent a high-level investigator to mess up the school. The Ministry of Magic and I are very concerned about this matter. The quality of Hogwarts education is related to the future of the wizarding world... Ah, I noticed that boy We're done eating too, don't you mind going for a walk in the garden with us and talk about it?"
Following his gaze, everyone turned to Harry.
No one seemed to believe that Scrimgeour didn't know Harry's name, and no one felt that it was natural for him to be chosen to accompany the Minister and Irwin for a walk in the garden, because Hermione, Ginny, and Elaine's plates were all empty, obviously, Scrimgeour's real purpose is to talk to Ivan and Harry, which is why he came to the Burrow.
He said a lot before, what happens to be working nearby, Percy wants to come back to see his family, plans to award Ivan the Order of Merlin First Class, and the current teaching situation at Hogwarts, all are excuses.
"Okay!" Harry said bluntly, breaking the silence.
"I'm fine, Mr. Minister." Ivan said, seeing Mr. Weasley stand up from his chair, and was about to say something to Scrimgeour, he added, "Don't worry, it's all right!"
"That's great!" Scrimgeour stepped back, letting Ivan and Harry go out the door first, and he said to the hesitant Weasleys, "The three of us just walked around the garden, about five to ten Minutes or so, and then Percy and I are off. Go on, folks!"
The moment he used the Burrow door to cover his view, Harry lowered his voice and asked Ivan, "What is he going to do?"
"It's probably asking us to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic." Ivan said.
He felt that Scrimgeour actually wanted to do something, but it was a pity that Voldemort was too powerful.
As for cooperation, Ai Wen also wanted to cooperate, but he couldn't see anything to cooperate with.
In the upcoming war, the dominance and decision-making power is no longer in the Ministry of Magic.
Ivan and Harry walked across the yard towards the overgrown and snow-covered Weasley garden, and Scrimgeour limped beside them, continuing to talk about the Medal of Merlin and discussing Ivan The possibility of obtaining this medal, while looking at the surrounding snow-covered lawn and unrecognizable plants from time to time.
Harry was also surreptitiously eyeing Scrimgeour, watching the Minister warily. He didn't know as much as Aiwen, but he also knew that the war-wounded, solid-looking wizard in front of him was once the director of the Auror's office, and he was very different from Fudge, who was wearing a bowler hat and had a big belly.
"It's beautiful, this garden is well organized." Scrimgeour said, stopping in front of the garden fence, "Okay, Irwin, I think I should fully understand, and I will try my best to help you get a Merlin Order A first-class medal, after all, with the participation of the wizards in Egypt this time, you are very likely to get the medal, and those old stubborn people can’t say anything more.”
"Thank you, Mr. Minister." Ivan said.
"This is what you deserve. As long as you work hard for the peace of the wizarding world, you should be rewarded." Scrimgeour said, patted Ivan on the shoulder affectionately, and then looked at Harry, who was somewhat restrained, "Don't Nervous, Harry, take it easy, you can treat me as an elder like Ivan, not the high-ranking Minister of Magic. Strictly speaking, this is the first time the two of us have met, but in fact, I have already treated you I understand very well, I know a lot about you from Sirius."
Harry said nothing, he could feel Scrimgeour watching him too.
"Oh, if I remember correctly, Sirius was your godfather?" Scrimgeour continued.
"Hmm!" Harry nodded, a little confused, not understanding what Scrimgeour meant.
Ivan didn't interrupt either, he looked at the little goblin footprints around the flower bed, and the overturned land, where Fred caught the little goblin who was now wearing a tutu and standing on top of the Christmas tree. A little goblin poked its head out from under the rhododendron bushes, and walked out swaggeringly. It didn't notice the three people not far away at all. Goblins are really stupid creatures, and they haven't improved after learning so many lessons.
"I have a very good relationship with Sirius. He used to be my most powerful man." Scrimgeour said, "You all know that I used to be the head of the Auror office and worked with him for a while. I always believed in Sirius. Sirius is innocent."
"I've heard Sirius talk about you, too," said Harry.
After Sirius proved himself innocent, Fudge invited him back to the Ministry of Magic to become an Auror.
It didn't take long, and he was quickly pushed out because of Voldemort's return.
However, he has a high opinion of Scrimgeour, and considers him, like Mad-Eye Moody, a true Auror.
Of course, it is also a tragic character, and the ending will be very tragic.
Thinking of this, Aiwen felt that it was appropriate to tell the truth.
"Ah, that's great, don't treat me as an outsider, you two can talk to me at any time if you have any troubles." Scrimgeour said, "In fact, Ivan, Harry, I have long wanted to talk to you." You have met, but Dumbledore seems to be very protective of you. Of course, I can understand, it is very natural, very natural, after all, so many things have happened, especially what happened in the Ministry..."
He paused for a while, as if he wanted to wait for Ivan or Harry to take the initiative to say something.
Ivan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Minister, I think we can be more honest. After all, our purpose is the same, to defeat Voldemort. Let's just say it, what do you want to know from us?"
"Oh, yes, be more frank, this is exactly the attitude we need." Scrimgeour seemed a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal, "I have many things to tell you, such as the legendary prophecy, About the savior."
Sure enough, it was that prophecy again. The first sign of Voldemort's return this time was his presence at the Ministry of Magic.
And the reason he was there was for that prophecy, which had both his and Harry's names on it.
Although Dumbledore took away the prophecy ball, the previous records still revealed some news.
The topic was now close to what Scrimgeour had come to mean, and Harry hesitated, unsure whether to lie or not.
He didn't want to say that only one of him and Voldemort could live, that he was destined to be Voldemort's opponent.
