v3 Chapter 527： Director of the Legal Enforcement Department

Rufus Scrimgeour has faced great pressure recently.

Eleven months ago, after the fall of Cornelius Fudge’s regime, Scrimgeour, who was then the head of the Auror’s office, was successfully promoted and became the Director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic... Director of the Law Enforcement Department. This position is almost second only to the Minister of Magic, and is the No. 2 figure in the entire British magic circle.

In the beginning, many people felt that Scrimgeour had a promising future, and even hoped to become the next minister; but from the subsequent results, this did not seem to be a good thing.

In the eyes of others, Scrimgeour has always been a keen and tough wizard, and many people commented that he looked like an old lion. In fact, only his appearance—his dark brown hair, thick eyebrows mixed with strands of gray, and sharp eyes with gold-rimmed glasses left a very profound influence on many dark wizards.

Scrimgeour is also a vigorous and resolute person. Most of his energy after joining the work has been devoted to dealing with the dark wizard, and he has also achieved a lot of results for the Ministry of Magic.

However, these "achievements" have not received much praise, but have received incredible criticism.

The wizarding world will transfer its dissatisfaction with the Fudge regime more than a year ago to the current Ministry of Magic... Many people are complaining that the response of the Ministry of Magic to the Dark Lord and his minions is too slow... but nothing. There is no doubt that this is not Scrimgeour and the current Ministry of Magic's fault, although many people blame it on him.

More importantly, it was a series of actions after Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix.

Even Scrimgeour himself had to admit that Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix had made a great contribution to the fight against the Dark Lord and his minions. Even their leader, Albus Dumbledore, died unfortunately.

But these contributions seem to further highlight the "incompetence" of the Ministry of Magic.

Most of the Death Eaters were captured by members of the Order of the Phoenix; the major crises encountered in the wizarding world in the past two years were all resolved by Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix; even the Dark Lord himself, It was also defeated by Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix twice in two consecutive years.

Of course this is not a good thing... After all, it is about the dignity of the Ministry of Magic!

As the most authoritative institution in the entire British magical world, if the Ministry of Magic is sweeping the ground, then the entire British magical world will be messed up.

Therefore, after the funeral of Albus Dumbledore (after the complete fall of the Dark Lord and his minions), Scrimgeour has been working to suppress the prestige of the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts...

However, he undoubtedly failed!

Its roots are the new headmaster of Hogwarts... Albus Dumbledore is amazing. Before his death, he appointed a Hogwarts undergraduate who is now under seventeen as the new headmaster. ; And even more surprising is that this appointment did not encounter any opposition among the many professors at Hogwarts.

The young new principal has quite some tricks in conspiracy...

In the past two months, he was extremely skillful in conducting a series of propaganda on the entire Order of the Phoenix; this also completely failed Scrimgeour's original plan.

Now the entire magical world is talking about the hard work and sacrifices made by the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts against the dark forces; they did not realize that their Ministry of Magic was when they were fighting against the Dark Lord. , The real main force!

Even the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", Mr. Barnabas-Gufe, seems to be eyeing through his former dean Horace Slughorn and the principal of Hogwarts; even this The mouthpiece and newspapers of the past can't be kept, showing how much the Ministry of Magic has been defeated.

Especially one day ago, when the interview with "My Godfather Sirius" was published in the "Daily Prophet"...

The Ministry of Magic suffered an unprecedented yelling letter bombardment, and even Scrimgeour himself was inevitably encountered two yelling letter attacks in one day.

As a result, he had to repeatedly explain to the public that the culprit who put Sirius Black into Azkaban without a trial was the former Director of Law Enforcement Barty Crouch. He has been dead for more than two years. Time...

Although Scrimgeour admitted that the Ministry of Magic was a bit sloppy in the trial of Sirius Black; but this is not a reason for wantonly attacking the Ministry, right?

There might indeed be a conspiracy against the Ministry of Magic hidden in this; but Scrimgeour was already a little powerless.

...

While thinking like this, Scrimgeour sighed deeply, and at the same time took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped it lightly.

Perhaps because of a bad mood, he even felt that his glasses had begun to blur in the past few days...

"Rufus Scrimgeour." Suddenly, someone whispered Scrimgeour's name.

The sound came from the wall, Scrimgeour quickly put on his glasses again, and after searching the wall, he found the person who had just called him.

"Mr. Evra, what's the matter?" He said with a serious face.

There are also many portraits of wizards and wizards hanging on the walls of the Ministry of Magic. These wizards are basically sages who have made significant contributions to the Ministry of Magic in the past few hundred years... and Rufus Scrimgeour The biggest wish in this life is to be able to hang his portrait on the wall after death and become one of them.

"I brought a message from the principal of Hogwarts, Jon Hart." The wizard in the portrait replied sternly: "He hopes to find an opportunity to talk to you."

"Principal Hart wants to talk to me?" Scrimgeour's face changed slightly.

In fact, he did want to talk to the young headmaster at Hogwarts...ask him about what he did with the Ministry of Magic in the past two months...

However, Scrimgeour still made himself as serious as possible: "I have no opinion on this, but I will not go to Hogwarts... I think I will definitely not be welcome there!"

After all, Scrimgeour, as the director of the Law Enforcement Department and the number two figure in the Ministry of Magic, also needs a little dignity and confidencePrincipal Hart guessed what you would say. "Mr. Evra in the portrait said calmly: "So, he hopes to invite you to a bar in Hogsmeade and have a glass of butter beer together. "

Scrimgeour thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, please tell Principal Hart, I have no opinion on this."

...

The wizard in the portrait has left, seeming to have gone to send a letter.

And Scrimgeour also calmed down at this moment.

Since I have to face the principal Hart and negotiate with him--

If I remember correctly, during the previous interrogation, the principal seemed to have exposed his unusual relationship with the Greengrass family...

This seems to be a breakthrough point in negotiations!
