Chapter 351 Candidate for Minister

"There's nothing wrong with them wanting to set you up as the banner for this fight against Voldemort."

"Even if the Ministry of Magic does not recommend you to the public, Voldemort's primary goal is to find ways to kill you. Your performance last night can calm the panic of the people as soon as possible, which is also beneficial to you."

Dumbledore looked at Sherlock and said.

"Of course, I didn't express my opinion to them. Even if it looks good, you need your own consent. If you don't want to make such a show, I can negotiate with the Ministry of Magic and let them suppress the recent public opinion."

Sherlock rubbed his temples with a headache.

"To be honest, I really don't want to be in the limelight. But if the magic world needs my name to build up the confidence of the public, then that's fine. After all, as you said, not only is it not a loss to me, There are benefits."

"However, don't keep promoting me as a famous brand. I just want to live a low-key life, and I don't want to become a celebrity."

Dumbledore said softly.

"This involves the second matter, regarding the discussion at the Ministry of Magic, about reabsorbing you into the Auror Command."

"If you have this idea, the Ministry of Magic will definitely promote you again, but if you don't plan to work in the Ministry of Magic, then after they stabilize the current situation in the magic world, they will definitely stand up again. New characters to attract people's attention."

For such a thing, Sherlock can basically guess the general reason just by listening to Dumbledore's simple dial.

If he is not going to join the Ministry of Magic, then he has been building momentum for him and building the confidence of the people on him. After a long time, what will the British wizards think?
It can only be said that Auror is incompetent, not as good as a professor at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore has always been the headmaster of Hogwarts.

To put it bluntly, is the orthodoxy in the wizarding world in the Ministry of Magic or in Hogwarts?
So this time the Ministry of Magic gave Sherlock an olive branch, not just because of his ability.

Sherlock waved his hand and said.

"That's just right. I didn't intend to go to the Ministry of Magic to be the director of the Auror Office. It's good to be a professor at Hogwarts."

For Sherlock's choice, Dumbledore obviously had expected it.

They have been together for so long, and he knows what kind of character Sherlock is now.

And from Dumbledore's heart, he actually didn't expect Sherlock to enter the Ministry of Magic at this time.

"Although I won't interfere with your choice, I really don't want you to enter the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore didn't hide it.

"It's like every time there is a change of ministers, I will be invited to stand for election to succeed the next minister, but I have not agreed."

"The political atmosphere there is too strong. If it's just a general situation, it's okay, but they can't handle a high-pressure event like Voldemort that threatens the entire magic world."

he shook his head.

"This is also my original intention for founding the Order of the Phoenix after I discovered this. The magic world needs an organization that wholeheartedly deals with Voldemort."

Sherlock touched his chin, and he then asked a very crucial question.

"After what happened this time, what's the situation on Fudge's side?"

Dumbledore looked calm.

"Connelly's situation is very bad. There are loud voices in the ministry to let him step down. He is also struggling with this matter now, but there is a high probability that he will lose his position as minister. From the beginning of the World Cup to the present, his decision-making It's all really bad."

"Then who is the most likely to take over as Minister? Crouch?" Sherlock asked.

"If there is no news about Barty Jr., then Barty will be the one to take over." Dumbledore's glasses reflected white light, "He is also the most suitable candidate, but because he helped Barty Jr. escape from prison and hid him The matter has already been exposed, so there is no such possibility.”

"This is a huge stain. Neither the Ministry of Magic nor the people outside will accept a Minister of Magic with such a dark history."

"Who is that?"

Dumbledore said with a serious face.

"Rufus Scrimgeour."

When Dumbledore and Scrimgeour arrived last night, Sherlock had already lost his strength and passed out, so he didn't know that the person who led the Auror was the Auror director, but he still had a similar personality and appearance to this Auror. Some impression of the old lion-like man.

Because of the events that went back in time with Snape, the wizard was already the head of the Auror office at that time.

In other words, he has been in this position for nearly 20 years, and he is indeed a veteran.

Through Sherlock's understanding of this person, he can indeed be said to be jealous, and his stance against Voldemort has never wavered, and he is not weak in his actions.

Just judging from Dumbledore's expression, he doesn't seem to be very optimistic about Scrimgeour's success.

Before Sherlock could speak, Dumbledore had already explained the reason.

"No one needs to doubt Rufus' position. Like Batty, he will always choose to stand on the opposite side of Voldemort, but his character is a bit too reckless."

Sherlock frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Like this time, he actually proposed the invitation to join the Ministry of Magic. Without my persuasion, he planned to recruit you forcibly at the beginning."

Dumbledore crossed his fingers, which was a subconscious movement he made when he was thinking about things.

"Whether you agree or not, the Ministry of Magic directly declares that you belong to them. Even if you don't actually hold a position, you still have some job titles, so that they don't have to bother to launch new pillars to stabilize the reputation of the Ministry of Magic. , but directly use your reputation to accomplish their goals."

Sherlock couldn't help but smacked his lips.

"It sounds very uncomfortable. Is he treating me as a tool?"

"Such an analogy can be considered appropriate." Dumbledore laughed dumbly, "I stopped him from doing this, because he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with me, saying that I was too weak in certain things."

"It seems that this Scrimgeour will also become a minister in the future, and he is not an easy character to get along with."

Sherlock rubbed his face, sure enough, politicians don't have a single fault.

Dumbledore stood up, and it seemed that he had almost talked with Sherlock this trip, and was finally ready to leave.

"In any case, his position will never change, which is a good thing after all."
