Albert didn't lie. He did have an appointment with Kingsley at noon. The other party's appointment with him was probably related to the Umbridge incident.
Although Kingsley used the Umbridge incident to teach a group of "pure bloods" who couldn't deal with him and were still unwilling to settle down, the consequences of doing so were equally serious, because Kingsley also used the Umbridge incident to
All the wizards who had been harmed by Umbridge were offended.
Since the Minister of Magic cannot help everyone take revenge, let alone bring justice to everyone, naturally he can no longer be welcomed by people.
Therefore, Kingsley took the initiative to find Albert, hoping that Albert would be the middleman between the two parties and reach an ulterior secret deal, so as to gain the understanding of his former supporters.
This kind of thing does sound quite ridiculous, but their new minister really hopes that the two sides can reach an agreement privately and coexist peacefully.
"Why do you think Nelson Tobin did this?"
Eating the unappetizing steak on the dinner plate, Albert raised his head and asked, "Just because he has a deep grudge against Umbridge."
"Yes, I really can't find a reason why Nelson Tobin didn't do that, but he must not be alone in the whole thing." Kingsley almost had his doubts written directly on his face.
In fact, Kingsley not only suspected the group of wizards who had a grudge against Umbridge, but also suspected Albert of intervening in this matter, but he could not find any reason or evidence for Albert to do so.
Of course, Kingsley would never be stupid enough to mention this in front of Albert.
"So, you asked Harry to try to negotiate with them?"
Albert raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that Kingsley didn't really expect Harry to persuade him to cooperate with him.
As expected, Albert soon heard Kingsley say: "If Harry fails in this negotiation, I hope you can help him. There is really no need to make things too tense. They just want to kill him."
Damn Umbridge, but I also have my own difficulties here, and it is difficult to help them through conventional means. You should be very aware of this."
"I don't think Harry will fail. Anyway, for those Avengers, as long as they can achieve their goals, it's enough."
Of course Albert could understand what Kingsley meant. After finishing the last piece of steak, he picked up the red wine at the table and drank it all, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get so many supporters again."
Already."
"That's a double-edged sword. Sometimes you have to make a choice." Kingsley was clearly mentally prepared.
"You are becoming more and more like a qualified politician." Albert softly lamented the changes in Kingsley.
"Forced by the situation." Faced with Albert's ridicule, Kingsley's expression did not change at all. He told the truth, "If you were sitting in my position, you would definitely be able to understand why I did what I did."
To be honest, although Kingsley became the interim minister and had locked in the minister's position in advance, he had already taken away the biggest piece of the cake, so he naturally needed to share the remaining benefits with others.
This is politics!
It doesn't matter whether it's Muggles or wizards.
According to usual cases, after the end of the Second Wizarding War, Kingsley is unlikely to kill all the wizarding families who have taken refuge with Voldemort.
The most he can do is to kill the chief culprit. It is impossible to liquidate the entire pure-blood family, and the British wizarding world does not allow him to do that.
But unlike the last Wizarding War, the Second Wizarding War caused the "pure bloods" who surrendered to Voldemort to lose so miserably. So much so that some jealous guys were unwilling to leave the game with dignity and still occupied the "Pure Bloods" in various departments of the Ministry of Magic.
"Good" position made Kingsley particularly annoyed and wanted to find a thug to give the opponent some color.
Therefore, Kingsley focused on Nelson Tobin, who hated some of the pure-blood families who had defected to Voldemort, and he also wanted to use this to suppress those guys. There was a basis for cooperation between the two parties.
Actually, there is another reason.
Kingsley wanted to kick those guys out, because those guys would affect his next reforms, and any reforms required bloodshed and sacrifice, so the smart Kingsley prepared himself in advance.
Let the "pure blood" doctrine that opposes him bleed, and let Nelson Tobin, who is obsessed with revenge and unable to extricate himself, die.
He believed that Nelson Tobin would not object, but the only problem at the moment was that after the Umbridge incident, Kingsley obviously could not convince Nelson Tobin, so they needed Albert as an intermediary guarantor.
However, Albert obviously had no interest in being involved in the turmoil again, so he suggested that Harry solve the problem. After all, who would become the head of the Auror office in the future, how could he not understand something deeper?
While Albert and Kingsley were chatting about this matter, Harry and Ron also took the initiative to approach Nelson Tobin.
Although Nelson Tobin refused to admit that the incident had anything to do with him, the two parties still vaguely reached a certain tacit understanding.
It doesn't matter if Nelson Tobin doesn't admit it, because Harry only needs to convey the original words to Nelson Tobin, but as Albert expected, Kingsley's credibility has been reduced since the Umbridge incident.
He has been completely bankrupt in the hearts of many people. No one dares to believe his character or his absurd and absurd guarantees.
Therefore, people headed by Nelson asked Albert for help, or it would be more appropriate to seek answers to questions.
"This is just mutual use, including what I said to you, which is actually what Kingsley wants you to hear."
Albert looked at the young boy in front of him and calmly told him the pros and cons of cooperating with Kingsley.
"Kingsley will definitely be the ultimate winner of this cooperation, and the best outcome for you is that after completing your revenge, you can go away to a foreign country and live the rest of your life anonymously. The worst case scenario is that you are shot dead by an Auror in a certain operation.
Completely infamy."
"The results don't seem too bad."
Nelson Tobin nodded and said that he could accept it. If he wanted to complete his revenge, he would have to pay some price.
"Life is not just about revenge!" Albert reminded kindly.
"If it were you, you would definitely not give up revenge so easily."
Nelson Tobin knew that Albert had more good intentions, but he still shook his head and said, "I will definitely not give up easily. Those damn beasts must pay the price for this."
"Well, I don't know anything."
Albert had already guessed that this would be the case, and if he could give him some advice, he would be worthy of their friendship in fighting Voldemort together.
"I hope to get your help."
Nelson Tobin pursed his lips and looked at Albert, begging him for help, because he knew very well that with Albert's help, his revenge would be much easier.
"If you just want to listen to my advice, then I suggest you agree to Kingsley, or at least pretend to agree to him. Maybe Kingsley will win a big victory in the end, but at least you won't lose too badly. After all, you have already
