The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Rufus Scrimgeour has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Eleven months ago, following the fall of Cornelius Fudge's regime, Scrimgeour, then Head of the Auror Office, had been promoted successfully to the Ministry of Magic's Chief of Law Enforcement... Chief of Law Enforcement This position is almost second only to the Minister of Magic, and is the number two figure in the entire British magical world.

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

In the eyes of others, Scrimgeour has always been a sharp and tough wizard, and many people commented that he looks like an old lion. In fact, appearance alone - his tawny hair, bushy eyebrows streaked with gray, and piercing eyes with gold-rimmed spectacles - has left a very strong impression on many Dark wizards.

Scrimgeour is also a vigorous and decisive person. After he joined the work, he devoted most of his energy to dealing with dark wizards, and he also achieved a lot for the Ministry of Magic.

However, these "achievements" did not receive much praise, but an incredible amount of criticism.

The wizarding world has transferred its dissatisfaction with Fudge's regime more than a year ago to the current Ministry of Magic... Many people are complaining that the Ministry of Magic reacted too slowly when facing the Dark Lord and his minions... But nothing There is no doubt that this is not the fault of Scrimgeour and the current Ministry of Magic, 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 has to admit that Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix have made great contributions to the fight against the Dark Lord and his minions. Even their leader, Albus Dumbledore, died as a result.

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; several major crises in the wizarding world in the past two years were 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 years.

This is of course not a good thing... After all, it concerns the dignity of the Ministry of Magic!

As the most authoritative institution in the entire British magical world, if the Ministry of Magic's majesty is swept away, then the entire British magical world will be in chaos.

So, after Albus Dumbledore's funeral (after the 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 lie in the new headmaster of Hogwarts... Albus Dumbledore is amazing, and before his death, he appointed a Hogwarts dropout who is now under the age of seventeen as the new headmaster ; and what is even more surprising is that the appointment met with little opposition among the many professors at Hogwarts.

The young new headmaster is quite a bit tricky in terms of conspiracy...

In the past two months, he has carried out a series of propaganda to the entire Order of the Phoenix extremely skillfully; this also completely defeated Scrimgeour's original plan.

Now the entire magic world is talking about the efforts and sacrifices made by the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts in fighting against the forces of darkness; they are completely unaware that their Ministry of Magic was the one who confronted the Dark Lord in the first place. , the real main force!

Even Mr. Barnabas Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", seems to be flirting with the headmaster of Hogwarts through his former dean Horace Slughorn; The mouthpiece newspapers of the past can't be kept, which shows the extent to which the Ministry of Magic has suffered a complete defeat.

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

The Ministry of Magic encountered an unprecedented bombardment of Howler letters, and even Scrimgeour himself was inevitably attacked by Howler letters twice in one day.

So much so that he had to explain to the public again and again that the culprit who threw Sirius Black into Azkaban without a trial was the former Director of Law Enforcement, Barty Crouch, who had been dead for more than two years. it's time...

Although Scrimgeour admitted that the Ministry of Magic was indeed somewhat sloppy in the trial of Sirius Black; but this is not a reason to wantonly attack the Ministry of Magic, right?

There might indeed be some conspiracy against the Ministry hidden in all this; but Scrimgeour was somewhat helpless.

...

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

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

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

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

"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 the sages who have made great contributions to the Ministry of Magic in the past few hundred years... and Rufus Scrimgeour The greatest wish in this life is to hang my own portrait on the wall after death and become one of them.

"I brought a message from Hogwarts principal Jon Hart." The wizard on the portrait replied seriously: "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 really wanted to talk to the young headmaster of Hogwarts... to question what he had done to the Ministry of Magic in the past two months...

However, Scrimgeour tried to act as serious as possible: "I have no problem with that, but I won't go to Hogwarts... I don't think I'd be welcome there!"

After all, Scrimgeour, as the head of the Department of Law Enforcement and the number two in the Ministry of Magic, also needs a little dignity and confidence.

"Principal Hart guessed that you would say that." Mr. Evra on the portrait said calmly: "So, he hopes to invite you to a pub in Hogsmeade Village and have a glass of butterbeer together."

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

...

The wizard in the portrait has left, apparently to deliver a message.

Scrimgeour also calmed down at this moment.

Since we want to face that Headmaster Hart directly and negotiate with him——

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

This seems to be a breakthrough point for negotiations!
