Chapter 137 You must be able to be the Minister of Magic.
Normally, when a normal person receives such an email, they will treat it as spam/fraud text message/prank, but Amelia Bones, a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, actually believed it!
The reason is simple: there is no signature at the signature of the letter, but there is a paw print. The well-informed Amelia Bones recognized at a glance that this footprint was that of a phoenix.
The phoenix is the symbol of that man in today's wizarding world.
The meaning of this paw print is self-evident, Dumbledore supports himself to become Minister of Magic!
Amelia Bones was moved. She knew very well what role Fudge played in the Sirius case. If this was an independent incident, it would not do anything to Fudge. He would be very embarrassed, but as a
A mature politician, Fudge will definitely be able to find a suitable solution.
But the problem is that Fudge is obviously overly ambitious! Amelia Bones can clearly see his little moves. It is obvious that he is trying to eliminate Dumbledore's influence on the wizarding world.
influence.
Bones thought that he could detect this kind of thing, and there was no reason why Dumbledore couldn't. Dumbledore had never responded because he was too lazy to argue with Fudge. More importantly, Dumbledore himself was a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth.
In addition to his old age, it is normal for him not to want to get involved in political affairs.
The reaction was so big this time, it was obvious that Fudge's incompetence had violated his bottom line.
Fudge is not suitable to be the Minister of Magic, so looking at the entire Ministry of Magic, who else is more suitable than himself? Barty Crouch? If he had no son, he would definitely be a strong enemy. Unfortunately, he has a Death Eater son, Rufus.
Scrimgeour is a reckless man. He wants to be the Minister of Magic unless a mysterious man jumps out of the coffin. As for the remaining senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, none of them can beat him. He can do Ludo Bagman or something like that.
Minister of Magic? No, I don't have that ability.
He controls the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, his brother is the founder of the Order of the Phoenix, and he has a good relationship with Dumbledore in private. It seems that it is his turn to be the Minister of Magic!
As the saying goes, officials who don't want to be the Minister of Magic are not good wizards. Bones is a good and motivated witch. She feels that she can better serve British wizards, so she is very moved.
At the same time, the fat old man became an eyesore in her eyes.
"If you want, why don't you come to the Pig's Head Bar for a chat at noon today?"
Looking at the sentence at the end of the letter, Bones made a quick decision, tidied his desk a little, and then left his office.
After a while, a man wrapped in robes appeared on the streets of Hogsmeade.
The person wrapped in the robe was Amelia Bones.
She put on an extremely thorough disguise and then came to Hogsmeade. She did not go to the Three Broomsticks, Zuko's Joke Shop and other tourist attractions like other tourists, but walked through a path next to the post office and came to a run-down,
Outside the deserted bar.
The sign of the bar showed a severed pig's head, with blood soaking through the white cloth wrapping it.
Bones pushed open the door of the bar, and the smell of mutton hit her face. Bones frowned under her burqa. It had been a long time since she had been to such an unseemly place. But she also admitted that this
A bar that accommodates people from all walks of life is a good place to plan secret affairs.
There were not many customers in the bar. When they heard the sound of the door being opened, all the customers turned their heads and looked at Bones. However, they only glanced at him and looked away.
Nothing special. You can meet at least ten of these guys who cover themselves tightly in a bar in a day.
Bones was hesitant. She didn't know who to contact! There was no joint plan on the secret letter! So she could only sit down at a table and ordered herself a glass of butterbeer.
But when she saw the dirty beer glass and the rag that was even dirtier than the glass, she immediately gave up the idea of taking a few sips of beer.
Her wait did not last long. A man wearing a strange crown and his face covered by a white mask also came to the bar.
"Two glasses of Fire Phoenix, thank you." The masked man walked to the counter and ordered two cocktails. The voice under the mask was very young.
Upon hearing the words "Fire Phoenix", Bones immediately raised her head. She understood that the person who was meeting her on Dumbledore's behalf was most likely him.
This masked man was Tom. He noticed something unusual about Mrs. Bones, but did not act rashly. Instead, he watched the bartender mix vodka, grapefruit juice, and pomegranate syrup, and finally added a flaming phoenix decorated on top.
Apple slices.
Two small cocktails paid for Tom's ten bottles of butterbeer.
Tom came to Bones with a cocktail. Bones understood and followed him to the corner of the bar.
After arriving at the corner, she noticed that it seemed to be a blind spot and no one could see her, so she took off her hood.
"Please." Tom pushed a cocktail towards Amelia Bones. When Bones took off his hood, Tom observed the senior official of the Ministry of Magic. Her face had a very special contour, her chin was very square, and she had
He has short gray hair and wears a pair of monocles.
When Tom looked at Bones, Bones also looked at Tom, but unfortunately Tom's mask completely covered her face, so she couldn't see Tom's appearance.
Neither of them spoke, and drank the cocktails in their glasses bit by bit.
In the end, it was Tom who started the conversation.
"From your looks, you must be the Minister of Magic."
Hearing this, Bones couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You'd better take a look again, you are still the first person to praise my appearance."
"No need, you can indeed be the Minister of Magic, as long as you complete a few trivial things."
Bones knew the drama was coming.
"What little thing can actually make me the Minister of Magic?" She asked trying to suppress her inner excitement, but her fingers that kept tapping on the table revealed her mood.
"After a while, Minister Fudge will probably make another mistake. At that time, you will have to stand up and initiate an impeachment against him. When he steps down, you will be able to become the new Minister of Magic."
Bones felt that the guy in front of him was talking nonsense. As long as his impeachment could be of some use, it would not be of no use at all! Her impeachment would not be able to oust Fudge from office - unless there were other external forces.
While Bones was talking to Tom, Fudge also met Dumbledore.
