Chapter 531： Not optimistic

In the bright meeting hall of the Freemasonry, a daily prophet was lying quietly on the huge meeting table in the middle of the hall.

On the cover of this newspaper, Chris in a suit and leather shoes is standing in front of the podium surrounded by several senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, announcing his series of reforms to the Ministry and his upcoming actions against the criminal McTorry. public trial.

And unlike Chris in the newspaper, Franklin, Penello, and others sitting around the conference table at the moment all looked melancholy.

The fact that Chris became Minister of Magic came too suddenly, and everyone in the Freemason had the illusion that they were dreaming until now.

But the more exaggerated things are still to come. They originally thought that even if Chris became Minister of Magic, it would take a long time to completely master the Ministry. After all, let an underage child become Minister of Magic. No one can accept it.

Judging from the current situation, although other officials of the Ministry of Magic have expressed their dissatisfaction with Chris, this dissatisfaction has only lasted for a day and then disappeared!

In other words, it only took Chris one day to completely grasp the giant Ministry of Magic!

Everyone doesn't know what happened in this, but it is undeniable that this incident reflects the huge power of Chris, otherwise the attitude of the officials will not change suddenly.

On the other hand, although the development of the matter was almost the same as Franklin expected, the Ministry of Magic really couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, so it chose to try Mike in a rare way like a public trial.

But Chris' superiority gave the trial more variables.

You know the relationship between Chris and McHogwarts was not very good.

Oh no.

It should be said to be terrible, Mike was bullying Chris at the time.

In addition, Mike originally regarded Chris as a serious concern, and he has been looking for a blow to Chris after leaving school. This resulted in the conflict between the two of them almost without the possibility of reconciliation. In this case, it is not guaranteed Chris will hurt his hand during the trial.

Thinking of this, Franklin, Penello, and others were very upset.

"We have all been sitting here all night! So...what should we do now? Does anyone have any suggestions?"

Penello in the first seat finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and said weakly.

You must know that she had been busy running around because of Mike's affairs during this period, and now she sat in the meeting room all night. If she hadn't been drinking magic drink to refresh herself, she might have fallen down now.

It was just that in the face of her questioning, everyone present remained silent, which made her even more angry.

"Why don't you just fight in? Anyway, the situation is at its worst, isn't it?"

Franklin said coldly, and Penello was irritated and shook his head.

She is really annoying now. This Franklin has been advocating his aggressive theory all night, but in fact he can't come up with any feasible plans at all!

To know about the current Chris, they have almost zero intelligence!

In this case, going in recklessly will not have any good results at all.

But at this moment, Benjamin on the other side said:

"Actually, Franklin still has some truth in what he said. The situation is indeed very bad, and storming is a viable means."

As soon as this remark came out, Benjamin attracted everyone's attention, and Franklin shouted out loudly, but the others didn't say anything, just watching Benjamin quietly.

They knew very well that since Benjamin could say this, he must have a follow-up plan.

Sure enough, Benjamin ignored Franklin and continued after a pause:

"But we still have a lot of work to do before the storm. The first is intelligence. The intelligence we currently have is too little. In addition, many wizards of the Los Santos Wizarding Group are also healing their wounds and want to complete these early stages. Work still needs time. So I suggest that we still wait for the end of the public trial. If we can’t accept the outcome of the trial, then it’s not too late for us to attack.”

"Excuse me, how long does it take for the preliminary work you mentioned to be completed? You know that we have no channels to obtain information from the Ministry of Magic. Are you sure you can collect so much information in just a few days? "Franklin gritted his teeth and said, "And how can you guarantee that Mike will not be sentenced to death in court? You know that Chris is a lunatic at all, he can do anything!"

"I don't think this will happen."

"Why do you think so?"

"I just know it."

"fart!"

...

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Penello reluctantly sat back in his seat.

She has seen such a scene many times today, and every time the two people started to discuss it, they would quarrel with guns. This is why this meeting will last so long.

At the beginning, Penello was able to recover the situation with her own identity and loud voice, but now, she has no physical strength and energy to do so.

Without Penello's prevention, the conflict between Franklin and Benjamin escalated.

Even Franklin had rolled up his sleeves and started walking towards Benjamin.

The opposite Benjamin drew out his wand unwillingly.

Seeing that an internal conflict was about to start, Zhou Hong, who had been sitting in the corner silently, stood up and said weakly:

"That... Actually, the intelligence problem can be solved quite easily."

"Huh?"*2

Benjamin and Franklin both looked at Zhou Hong, and when they saw Zhou Hong, they quickly hid behind Penello, and then continued:

"Professor Flitwick contacted me when I was at Hogwarts yesterday morning. He said that Dumbledore has the resources we want and can provide us free of charge."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier."

Benjamin stood up suddenly and said.

On the other side, Franklin smashed the table fiercely and roared:

"That old **** Dumbledore! It's all because of him that things will become like this! We absolutely can't cooperate with him! If I say we should kill him first! He is the culprit in everything!"

While talking, Franklin was still trying to catch Zhou Hong. Fortunately, Zhou Hong had already hid behind Penello and escaped this time.

And Zhou Hong, who was safe, spread out his hands silently and made a helpless gesture. Kaiyin

‘Look at it, I knew it would be like this. ’

Although he did not speak, the meaning was clearly conveyed to the hearts of everyone.

"Why is Dumbledore helping us?"

Benjamin frowned and asked.

But Zhou Hong shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

After thinking for a moment, Benjamin finally said:

"Well, I'll go to Dumbledore to test it first. If... if they are really sincere, then it's actually not impossible to cooperate. After all, rescuing Mike is our priority now!"

Hearing that everyone in the conference room nodded in agreement, even Franklin, who had been irritable, didn't speak anymore.

Upon seeing this, Benjamin did not hesitate anymore, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he walked out of the meeting room and headed to Hogwarts.

...

Entering Hogwarts is a very troublesome thing for others. After all, Hogwarts is under the cover of anti-phantom shift and anti-phantom manifestation, and you can only enter slowly and leisurely. Enter by other vehicles.

But for the members of the Freemasonry, this is very simple, because the Freemasonry Secret Realm was originally reconstructed from the Ravenclaw Secret Realm, and it has its own teleportation array leading to Hogwarts.

So Benjamin quickly entered Hogwarts.

It was when the students were having breakfast in the early morning. Benjamin, who was passing by the auditorium, looked at the students clamoring at the dinner table, and he was deeply moved.

People only know how to cherish if they lose. Benjamin is just like this. He left the campus full of nostalgia for Hogwarts, the school where he stayed for seven or eight years, and this nostalgia is in him. It peaked when I returned to school again!

He climbed the stairs and started to walk towards the principal's office on the eighth floor.

Along the way, he was full of interest in everything in Hogwarts. Just like when he first came to Hogwarts, he touched the walls for a while, and the knight armor standing on the corner. What seemed to him ordinary in the past is full of interest at the moment.

Such a strange behavior naturally attracted the attention of many students. Everyone looked at him with an idiot look, but Benjamin didn't care, and he came to the principal's office door after sightseeing.

Looking at the familiar stone statue of a monster at the door, Benjamin just wanted to speak out his intentions, when a very familiar voice came from the side.

"Unexpectedly, the person they sent would be you, Benjamin."

Benjamin turned his head in surprise and saw Professor McGonagall, who was obviously much older, looking at him expressionlessly in the shadow on the side.

"Come with me."

McGeyan turned around and walked away, but Benjamin almost couldn't follow.

The two came to McGonagall's office unimpeded all the way, Benjamin's face was amazed, because there was no one in this office, Professor McGonagall obviously wanted to talk to him alone.

"Where is Dumbledore?"

He asked instinctively.

"It's a pity," McGonagall said, "his current state is not suitable for meeting people."

Hearing this, the corners of Benjamin's mouth rose, and it was a smile with a strong gloat.

He fully understood what Professor McGonagall meant. He was there when he was fighting, so he knew very well that Dumbledore was at the end of the battle, and now Dumbledore who has exhausted the last trace of power may only be Lying on the bed and waiting quietly for decay, right?

Benjamin's expression fell into McGonagall's eyes without any error, and her lips were firmly pressed almost instantly.

Benjamin was shocked when he saw it, and instinctively stood up straight and condensed the expression on his face.

Strictly speaking, he doesn't need to do this at all. After all, he is no longer a student, and his relationship with Professor McGonagall is equal, but the habit he has cultivated for a long time still makes him instinctively in his heart when he sees Professor McGonagall pursing his lips Tremble.

Perhaps this is why Dumbledore chose to let Professor McGonagall come to see him.

Benjamin's expression was bitter. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to go around with McGonagall anymore, and said directly:

"What kind of help can Dumbledore give us?"

Hearing that McGonagall first looked at Benjamin from start to finish, then sighed:

"Everything about the Order of the Phoenix. Although the Order of the Phoenix has almost fallen apart, the power it left behind should not be underestimated. Kingsley, Lupin, Tonks... these people will do their best to help you, even Dumbledore has already collected a lot of the information you need most now."

Benjamin nodded in satisfaction, what Dumbledore gave was indeed very heartwarming, but he was not blinded by the benefits in front of him, but became more vigilant.

"So what price do we have to pay?"

Benjamin said blankly.

But after hearing this, Professor McGonagall shook his head, glanced out the window with some sadness and said:

"He doesn't want anything, these are provided to you free of charge."

"This is impossible!"

"However, this is the truth." Professor McGonagall put a thick paper bag on the table. "Dumbledore...he always cared about peace in this world, and everything he did It's all for the continuation of the peace in this world. So, Benjamin, I hope you don't blame him, he is just... just too pure, so pure that it doesn't look like humans."

A sarcasm smile hung on Benjamin's face again. He didn't want to listen to Professor McGonagall's explanation for Dumbledore. He picked up the paper bag on the desk and quickly left the office.

Perhaps in the eyes of McGonagall and others, Dumbledore is a great man who dedicated his life for world peace But in the eyes of Benjamin, Dumbledore is just a vile man who stabbed his students back !

Benjamin knew that his thoughts were wrong, and he knew that Dumbledore's merits were almost completely ignored.

But he still thinks so firmly, because the person who was backstabbed is named McTowny, his best friend and boss of Benjamin!

If you help your relatives or not, if this kind of thing can be done so easily, it won't be widely praised. Helping your relatives or not helping your relatives is the most common in reality!

After gritting his teeth, Benjamin walked quickly toward the top of the stairs. At this moment, the nostalgia that came in Benjamin's heart has long since disappeared. Instead, he was angry with Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore!

He didn't want to stay at Hogwarts for almost a moment!

But just when he found a concealed position and was ready to leave through the door key, the familiar trio unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
