Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"Ugh!"

In front of the office of the Minister of Magic, Kingsley, who was holding a document, let out a long sigh.

The fact that there has been so much trouble lately is that he really wants to quit now if he can.

It's a pity that, as the current director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, he has no right to choose to resign.

Especially in this situation, this time it was entirely because of his incompetence.

Sighing again, he finally gave up those meaningless fantasies and knocked on the door of the minister's office.

With a hoarse and dull 'please come in', Kingsley cautiously opened the door and walked in.

The office was filled with smoke, and Scrimgeour was smoking a cigar with a frown, and judging from the long embers on the cigar, he seemed to have been in this absent state for a long time.

There are still many acquaintances of Kingsley sitting in the corner of the office. They are all boss-level figures in various departments. The reason why they are here now is that they are planning to discuss countermeasures.

It just seems that the result of the discussion should not be very good, because their expressions at the moment are very ugly.

After nodding to the crowd, Kingsley solemnly placed the document in his hand in front of Scrimgeour and said:

"Mr. Minister, please take a look at these, this is a summary of the newspapers of various newspapers this morning and the situation across the country."

Hearing this, Scrimgeour's body trembled slightly, and the long section of smoke finally fell down and smashed into a mass on the desk.

Scrimgeour didn't care about this, he slowly picked up the document and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked, the more angry the expression on his face, until he finally threw the document out.

"It's so deceiving!"

Scrimgeour roared, while Kingsley's expression in front of him was a little weird. Just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and he seemed to have said the same thing in the same place not long ago.

Shaking his head again and throwing out the messy thoughts in his mind, Kingsley said slowly:

"Mr. Minister, the situation is already very bad. I think we should hand over those three Aurors, so that they have no reason to continue to exercise.

"

As soon as these words came out, all the bigwigs who were still silent in the office nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, this was indeed a good idea. Selling the three Aurors in exchange for the quelling of the situation could not be more cost-effective.

As for the revenge of the families behind the three, they didn't care at all.

After all, it was Kingsley who suggested it, and Scrimgeour who adopted it, and those families couldn't get revenge on them.

What's more, Scrimgeour had an entire Auror troop in his hands, and whether those families with this level of force would dare to retaliate against him was another matter.

From these people's point of view, Scrimgeour would definitely agree to the proposal, because it would be really impossible to let things go.

This is the standard politician's thinking. As long as there is interest in the thinking of these people, anything like face and bottom line can be discarded.

But what they didn't expect was that Scrimgeour was not a politician in the true sense, but an iron-blooded soldier from the military.

"What do you mean... want me to show weakness to those guys?"

Scrimgeour looked at Kingsley blankly and said.

But although Scrimgeour was extremely calm, no matter who was present at the scene, she could feel the surging anger that was about to erupt from her.

Sure enough, the next second, before Kingsley could reply, he saw Scrimgeour punch directly on the desk and roared:

"I really doubt what's going on in your head that you want me to bow down to that mob? Satisfy their conditions? Do you know what that means? It means we've made a bad start! In the future! They'll understand that as soon as they start making trouble with the Ministry of Magic their conditions will be met, this time they want the lives of those three Aurors, but next time? If they want yours and mine, you'll be satisfied Are they?"

Scrimgeour's fierce roar echoed in the office, and everyone present was silent, not even daring to let out the air.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is some truth to what Scrimgeour said, but if there is no compromise, how will this incident end?

"How about... let's ask the International Magic Federation for help? France and the United States should be happy to help."

A white-bearded official asked tentatively.

"Ah, yes, of course they're happy to do it, after all, they'll be able to cut a huge chunk of meat off us once they do, and they'll ask us to sign some betrayal agreements," Scrimgeour sneered, "and once their Aurors do it If you enter the country, you won't obey our orders, and you might do something outrageous at that time, do you think it doesn't matter even if that's the case?"

As soon as these words came out, the office fell into silence again, and the wizard who asked for help from the International Federation of Wizards lowered his head in shame.

If he could, he really wanted to yell at Scrimgeour now: "Then you should pay attention!"

It's a pity that he can't do this. After all, Scrimgeour is in a fit of rage now, and if he says some nonsense, the other party may attack him.

At this moment, the knock on the door came again, and with Scrimgeour's answer, the young assistant minister with a pockmarked face ran in, panting and smashed a copy of "The Quibbler" in front of Scrimgeour .

The eyelids of everyone in the room jumped, and suddenly there was an ominous premonition.

"Mr. Minister, Luo... The boss of the Lolo Los Santos Group just issued a statement, publicly expressing his support for the Muggle movement!"

Hearing that, everyone present did not have much reaction. Although this was the first business organization to publicly support Muggle wizards, they had long expected this situation.

After all, businessmen are always looking for profit, and publicly announcing the Muggle wizard is bound to win the favor of those mud-legged wizards, thereby greatly increasing the company's profits.

If you really want to say that the Los Santos group will stand on the side of Muggle wizards, they don't believe it. Although the main body of the other group is entirely composed of Muggle wizards, they are now in the same class as all pure blood!

Seeing the disapproving reactions of the big guys, the pock-faced assistant thought they didn't understand what he said, and anxiously repeated what he just said, and also opened "The Quibbler" and turned to the one in the statement. Page.

Scrimgeour shook his head helplessly, but just as he was about to let the assistant go out, he suddenly caught sight of the statement above "The Quibbler".

Scrimgeour's entire body froze, and the next moment, he quickly snatched the "The Quibbler" with lightning speed.

As he continued reading, Scrimgeour's bloodshot red eyes narrowed into slits, and a word of Sichuan was squeezed out between his eyebrows.

At this moment, others in the office also sensed that something was wrong, and Scrimgeour's appearance at this time was really scary.

But just when everyone was hesitating to ask Scrimgeour, they saw Scrimgeour put the copy of "The Quibbler" together, and then said solemnly:

"The situation is out of control, contact the International Wizarding Federation immediately, we need external support! Also! Send a letter to Dumbledore! Let him teach that student named Mike Townley a good lesson!"

The expressions of the people in the entire office suddenly became very bright, especially the official who suggested Scrimgeour to look for foreign aid. At this moment, his expression was the same as if he had been constipated for ten days and a half months.

At the same time, a grand speech was being held at the entrance of the Los Santos Group headquarters on the Thames River in South London, and the speaker was Emily.

It can be seen that Emily is really very popular, and this is the first speech that has been announced and has attracted hundreds of Muggle wizards.

Watching the beautiful girl choked on the stage while narrating her experience during this time and her gratitude for helping her mother and daughter to support everyone, many people in the audience were moved to tears.

In the backstage, Mike and Franklin watched all this with a cold eye.

In fact, in today's speech, Mike should have gone down and said a few words, but for the sake of safety, Mike finally chose to let Emily be his microphone.

Unlike Benjamin and Soraka and others, Mike and Franklin have never been touched by Emily in their hearts. To say something unpleasant, in their eyes, both Emily and Loya are just tools. .

If he could, Mike even wanted to arrange for Emily to die on the podium at the right time before throwing the blame at the Ministry of Magic.

As a result, tens of thousands of Muggle wizards throughout the country would lose their minds.

This is undoubtedly an extremely cold-blooded plan, but it can bring extraordinary benefits.

But the helpless thing is that Benjamin and others seem to have some unnecessary feelings for Emily because of guilt, which forces Mike to stop related arrangements only in consideration of their feelings.

But that doesn't matter, Mike's real killer was the statement he made earlier this morning via the preview of "The Quibbler" and Emily's speech.

Not only did he make it clear that he would try his best to support his fellow Muggle wizards, but he also expressed his determination to fight for power for other disadvantaged groups as well.

Among them, there are 15 kinds of vulnerable groups mentioned by him, such as witches who are discriminated against by wizards, centaurs who are wantonly killed and raised in captivity, goblins who are almost exterminated, and those who have been enslaved for thousands of years. house elf...

All of these are within the scope of Mike's support. In the following period, as long as all the above intelligent beings participating in this operation can obtain free emergency treatment, food and temporary shelter from the Los Santos Group.

Mike can imagine that this life will spread quickly in a very short period of time. Most people who see this statement will think that Mike is a lunatic, because even this level of assistance requires a huge amount of money. The Golden Galleon.

But only a very small number of people, including Mike, will understand that once Mike's move is implemented, it will gain the favor of all vulnerable groups in the country, and even under his instigation, these vulnerable groups are very likely to merge together. An unprecedented force was formed.

The Ministry of Magic is not afraid of a single Muggle movement. After all, although there are a large number of Muggle wizards, their personal strength is generally weak, and the number is not large enough to make the Ministry of Magic despair. Sooner or later, this group of poor turtles will collapse.

But it would be different if Muggle wizards found more allies, the combined strength of multiple groups was simply unmatched by the Ministry of Magic alone.

Scrimgeour had seen such a dramatic change in his attitude.

However, asking the International Magic Federation for help is far from being settled in a day or two.

And while the officials of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China were still arguing with the envoys of other countries at the temporary office of the International Magic Federation in Paris, France, the situation that Scrimgeour was most worried about had already occurred.

The first is the fairies.

As the most nourishing non-human intelligent life in the wizarding world, after Mike negotiated with them for two whole days and promised a bunch of empty cheques, they have now completely turned away from the Ministry of Magic of the country and turned to Mike. aside.

And as a way of showing their attitude, they also put up speech magic posters about Emily's speech and affirmative action in various corners of Gringotts.

This undoubtedly made many pure-blood wizards very dissatisfied, and many wizards of pure-blood families even threatened to take away all the gold coins in Gringotts.

I have to say that this is indeed a huge threat to the goblins who regard wealth as their life, but the goblins were obviously dizzy by the beautiful future depicted by Mike, and finally they resisted the pressure and saved the those posters.

This move has improved the bad image of goblins in the eyes of wizards, especially Muggle wizards, and has also shown the determination of goblins to others.

With the goblin's early bird, other groups quickly expressed their opinions.

Centaurs, Mermaids and other non-human intelligent races all sent friendly signals to Mike and joined the Los Santos group.

But these are nothing.

What really changed the combat effectiveness of the Los Santos group camp was the participation of the witch group!

You must know that no matter how firm the beliefs of other groups are, it will not change the fact that they are at the bottom of society, and being at the bottom of society means that they are not only limited in strength, but also have very little right to speak.

The witch group is different. The overall quality of this group of people is much stronger than that of other groups, not to mention that there are some well-educated and extremely high-quality social elites among the witch group, as well as the elites who are at the top of the class pyramid. , it can be said that their addition directly increased the speed of Mike's plan by several gears!

But in contrast, the witch community wants much more.
