Professor, please pay the debt

Fudge was hit in the head, he was a little angry but didn't dare to explode, his fat face was flushed, and his yellow-green bowler hat was pinched and deformed.

Fortunately, Dumbledore came out to make a rescue, "Rufus, come sit down, we can't stand and talk. Besides, I think it's better to talk about some things, and it won't hurt to listen to Connelly's opinion."

Scrimgeour realized that the two people in front of him seemed to have reached a consensus, he was a little annoyed, but sat down anyway.

Dumbledore tapped twice on the table, and hot honey tea appeared in front of the guests.

Scrimgeour just touched the teacup symbolically after sitting down, then sat up straight and looked at Dumbledore face to face, as if saying, I want to see what reason you can convince me.

Dumbledore winked at Fudge with a smile.

Fudge felt a little dry mouth, he took a sip of tea, but was almost sweetened to death, and quickly put it down again.

Clearing his throat, he said, "I... I'm not a stubborn person. We can discuss Dolores' position."

"You are talking about the position of Umbridge, not the position of Senior Assistant to the Minister. From this, can I judge that you care about people rather than positions." Scrimgeour keenly found the point of the conversation .

Before Fudge could say something stupid, Dumbledore interjected at the right time, "This is a very good start, at least you have begun to understand each other. I think what Connelly meant is that he doesn't want to cause too much trouble to the Ministry because of his departure. Loss, personnel stability is very important, especially when the two ministers are handing over work, I believe you are not willing to see troubles at work..."

Fudge has been Dumbledore's answering agent for more than ten years, and he is already very proficient.

So, as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, he immediately said, "Oh, no, of course I don't want to. I hope the Ministry will be the same after I leave."

Scrimgeour had known for a long time that Fudge was an idiot, so he didn't look at him at all, only at Dumbledore, "I don't think Umbridge will have any influence on the work of the Ministry. In fact, she was sent to Huobi last year. Gwartz was just a clerk before, and she had never been in charge of any important work. It was Minister Fudge who promoted her exceptionally. As for her working ability, Albus, you must know better than me."

Dumbledore already knew that the new minister would be difficult to deal with, so he wanted to keep Umbridge even more.

"Rufus, I'm not concerned with any one person, but with the entire staff of the Ministry of Magic, who have been disturbed by the sudden change of Minister.

If another person is laid off, everyone will be in danger. They will wonder whether the next person to be laid off will be themselves. The fear of unemployment will envelope the Ministry of Magic. At that time, no one will be able to work with peace of mind. Very bad for you.

Because both the Wizengamot and the Order of Merlin are desperate to see your achievements, and a disengaged Ministry of Magic will only hold you back. "

Scrimgeour came to seek support, not to set up enemies, and Dumbledore spoke so nicely, thinking about Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic everywhere, what else could he say.

What's more, for a powerful villain like Umbridge, as long as she doesn't have the support of those in power, she can't make any waves.

Therefore, an agreement was quickly reached on this matter, the position of Senior Assistant to the Minister was abolished, and Ms. Umbridge was replaced as Assistant to the Minister.

Fudge had achieved his goal, so he bid farewell and left in a sensible manner.

There are only two people left in the office, one is a newly appointed powerful figure, and the other is an old-school spiritual leader whose ideas can have an impact on the entire wizarding world.

Moreover, this is the first meeting with the greatest white wizard since the new minister took office. Everyone is aware of the importance of this meeting. The portraits are all quietly pretending to be asleep, afraid to disturb the two, but they are all squinting Eyes prick up ears, and someone squeezes a hearing aid tightly.

Scrimgeour spoke first: "Albus, I am a straightforward person. The purpose of my coming to see you this time is to meet Harry Potter. His deeds of stopping the mysterious man in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic have spread widely. Now, the people call him the savior of the world, and people are eager to know what he thinks, but he hasn't said a word, which is really a pity."

"Harry is a kid, he's not good at these things, I don't think it would be a good thing to have him out in the public eye..."

"Do you really think so, Albus, then, who leaked to the press what happened in the Department of Mysteries, and who leaked that vague prophecy, as far as I know, There are no more than three people who predicted the content."

Dumbledore was not quite used to the new minister's aggressive way of speaking, he quickly changed the subject, "The public is calling for the savior in their minds, but the real savior may not meet their imagination. Once the public is disappointed, it will be difficult to come back." Build up the confidence to fight against the dark forces, so we have to be cautious."

"Then I would like to see the Savior myself, and that must be all right."

"Of course, as long as Harry himself agrees, but it will not be until after school starts. Harry is currently living with his Muggle relatives. For security reasons, I cannot disclose his address..."

"For security reasons, I can also understand your behavior, that is, to hide the savior tightly and prevent him from seeing any dignitaries except you.

No... Albus, there is no need to deny it, you are a political figure in the wizarding world, and you are a leader, we all know this in our hearts. said Scrimgeour.

"Although you said that you don't need to explain, I still don't think I'm a political figure, let alone a leader. I'm just a school principal. I have no interest in politics. My greatest joy is being with children." Dumbledore His face was not good, obviously angry.

"Okay, Albus, there are no reporters here..." Scrimgeour waved his hand casually, as if what Dumbledore said was a puff of foul-smelling gas, "We don't need to argue about this issue, I'm here today to Tell you about the savior, or the new name people have given to him recently - the savior. Although you insist that you are just a headmaster, you are the de facto guardian of Harry Potter..."

"I have to interrupt you..." Dumbledore was equally eager to deny this, "Harry's guardians are his Muggle relatives, we all know that."

"Then can I see them?"

"I can't reveal..."

"Yes, you can't disclose their addresses, for safety reasons." Anger appeared on Scrinkle's already ferocious face, like an angry lion, he glared at Dumbledore unceremoniously, "You Not Harry Potter's Guardian, but any of us would have to ask your permission to see him."

The atmosphere in the headmaster's office dropped to freezing point. Dumbledore didn't expect the new minister to give him such a slap in the face as soon as he took office. Since he became famous, no one dared to speak to him like this. The greatest white wizard was naturally angry.Mr. Minister came here to meet the savior, and if he failed to achieve his goal, he would be very angry.

Neither of them spoke, and even the portraits were silent. In the end, the old wizard was more tolerant, and he explained patiently:

"I think there was a misunderstanding. I didn't stop Harry from seeing anyone. If you want to see him, I think it should be appropriate after school starts."

Dumbledore decided to compromise with the high-spirited new minister, see you when you see him, and what can you do if you see him.Based on Harry's impression of the Ministry of Magic, Scrimgeour never got what he wanted.

"Very well..." Scrimgeour wanted to finalize the matter, "then let's set it on September 9st..."

"You are too impatient and don't think about Harry at all..." Dumbledore acted like an old headmaster who really cared about the students, "Our students are usually very busy in the first few weeks of school, even if Harry is the savior Star, he is still a student, so that period of time is inappropriate, I think it would be better if it was set before Halloween."

Scrimgeour knew this was the best answer he could get, so he accepted the suggestion, and the atmosphere in the office warmed up.

After Dumbledore recommended the pile of cockroaches to him, Scrimgeour asked another question, "There is one thing that I have always wondered, why the savior of the wizarding world would be handed over to Muggles for upbringing, I remember that we have the rights to protect orphans series of laws.

Moreover, the Potter family is a pure-blooded nobleman, and there are many families related to their family. Could it be that no one is willing to adopt him? "

"It's because Harry's mum has cast a blood spell on him and he has to stay in someone's home with her mum's blood relationship to be protected."

"Blood magic? Forgive my shallowness, I've never heard of such magic. And, unfortunately, I heard that his Muggle relatives abused him. If his father cast this magical magic in the first place, ha There are so many families to choose from.”

Scrimgeour was a straightforward person, he said his goodbyes and left after finishing what he wanted to say.

Dumbledore didn't delay for a second, and when the flames of the fireplace calmed down again, he sprinkled a handful of Floo powder into it, leaned halfway in and said, "Severus, come to my office."
