After coming out of the Weasley Joke Shop, Ryan and Hermione met Percy who was rushing over. After seeing Ryan, Percy's eyes lit up and he said to Ryan: "Ryan, can I talk to you about something alone?"
"Okay." Ryan glanced at him and nodded, asking Hermione to go to Florin's Cold Drink Shop to wait for him, and then she and Percy went to a less noticeable place next to the joke shop.
"Okay, what do you need my help with?" Ryan asked looking at Percy. Looking at his anxious expression, Ryan could roughly guess what Percy wanted to do with him.
Sure enough, after checking that no one was eavesdropping, Percy revealed the trouble he had encountered recently. "For the past two days, Fudge and his cronies have been preaching that everything is normal in the Ministry of Magic, but my father told me that now the darkness will
Now, that person may even be back. I don’t know who to listen to now.”
"It's very simple." After listening to Percy's narration, Ryan felt that he was much better now than in the same period in the original book where he had to disown all his relatives for his own ambition, so he didn't mind pushing things in the right direction. "Your
What are you thinking in your heart?"
"Well, I think what my father said is a bit exaggerated. The situation may not be that bad. But Fudge's statement that everything is safe is pure nonsense. When I was out in the field recently, I found that dark wizards are less active than in the past.
Not to mention having to worry about those ten notorious Death Eaters suddenly jumping out and attacking me." Percy said his choice after a few seconds of silence.
"So you know in your heart that the situation is getting worse, but you don't want to admit this fact because you are worried that not being able to be consistent with Fudge and the others will affect your work in the Ministry of Magic." Seeing that Percy was about to open his mouth to argue, Ryan interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"I can only say that it is not smart for you to do this. It is not a good thing to fall out with your family over a job, especially when you insist on a lie."
"I'm sorry, I really am." Percy covered his head with his hands and squatted down in pain. It seemed that this matter had been tormenting him for a long time. Fortunately, everyone around him was attracted by the items in the joke shop, and no one
Notice them.
"Here." Ryan handed over a bottle of fine ale, and then said: "I understand you. This week I read the Daily Prophet and found that the Ministry of Magic fired several mucks and mixed-bloods who insisted on claiming that the situation was not good.
Wizard. If your father hadn't been the patriarch of one of the 28 Holy Families and his position was relatively marginal, he would probably have been expelled, but Fred and George said that he is now somewhat ostracized by the Ministry of Magic. In this case, you want to keep your job.
It’s understandable that you’re confused about your position, because I know you’ve always wanted to get ahead in the Ministry of Magic.”
"Yeah, so I'm very conflicted now. I really can't quarrel with Fudge directly like my father did. But I really can't accept what Fudge is doing recently. Last week, the Irishman on my team...
We were attacked and are still in St. Mungo's. This is because Fudge insists that everything is fine and allows us to enter some more dangerous places to perform tasks with insufficient manpower and insufficient equipment as usual. I submitted the report and hope that
To improve the current problem, the old woman named Umbridge called her to the office and approved it for more than an hour." Under the influence of alcohol, Percy spoke his mind.
"Well, let me analyze it for you." Looking at Percy's expectant eyes, Ryan analyzed: "What you are worried about now is that if you insist on the idea that the situation in the wizarding world is getting worse, then you may be sidelined or directly
Fired, right?”
"That's it," Percy said, taking a sip of ale.
"I would like to ask your immediate supervisor, Mrs. Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, what she said about the current situation?"
"Of course she objected. Most of the people injured recently are people from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Because sometimes we have to be on the front line facing dark forces, but we don't have enough training like Aurors or strikers.
Training. But she didn’t have any good solutions to this phenomenon. I saw her go to the Minister of Magic’s office several times and had a lot of quarrels. Unfortunately, not only did the problem not be solved, but Fudge also reduced the funding for our department.
." Percy said helplessly.
"If that's the case, I suggest you be consistent with your immediate boss in this regard." Ryan said, "As long as you don't take the initiative to speak out your views publicly, Fudge won't be able to fire you even if he is the Minister of Magic.
"
"As for marginalization." Ryan paused. "There will definitely be marginalization, but Fudge's lies cannot last long. After a full ten Death Eaters are freed, I think there is a great chance that they will go around wreaking havoc.
In this case, Fudge's stay at the Ministry of Magic won't be very long."
"So, what if they don't destroy it?" Percy asked an important question.
"If they don't destroy it, the situation will be even more serious. Think about it, who can make ten crazy and cruel Death Eaters give up their destruction and lurk quietly?" Ryan pointed out the key points. "If it really comes to that.
In this case, Fudge is likely to become the most unpopular Minister of Magic in the past century. You can imagine what will happen to his followers." Ryan shrugged after saying this.
"Okay, I get it." Percy took another sip of wine. "Do you have any other advice you can give me?"
"You can remain silent on this issue during these days, but you'd better tell the truth to your subordinates. Because you are on the front line, unlike Fudge, who can stay in a safe office. Once you believe Fudge's lies,
You are probably the first batch of victims. So my personal suggestion during this period is that you try to maintain a good relationship with your colleagues and subordinates, and provide some help within your ability. This way, being together can make it easier for you to get through this difficult period smoothly.
At the same time, it can accumulate valuable connections for you. You must know that in this kind of crisis-filled environment, it is generally easier for people to establish friendship and trust." Ryan gave some suggestions based on Percy's character, hoping that he would
You can avoid taking the wrong path like the original article.
"I know, you told me a great way, thank you!" Percy raised his head and drank the last sip of wine from the bottle. "Now I will gather my three subordinates to go to St. Mungo's to visit the injured.
Irish people, and then I will try to train them well recently so that they will not live in St. Mungo's like the Irish."
After finishing speaking, Percy said goodbye to Ryan and was about to leave, but Ryan stopped him. "By the way, you take this card. With this card, you can buy a product related to Defense Against the Dark Arts at a 50% discount every month, and other products."
All goods are 20% off.”
After speaking, Ryan handed over a gold card, which is the highest-level VIP card in the Weasley Joke Shop. Only ten cards can be issued each year, and Ryan has the right to send five of them.
"Thank you." Percy was a little embarrassed at first, but after thinking of his subordinate who was lying on the bed due to official injuries, he still reached out and took the card. Then he shook hands with Ryan vigorously before leaving.
"Five o'clock offset point, change Percy's attitude." The system made a sound at the right time, and a smile appeared on Ryan's face. He felt very happy that he could help the Weasley family, after all, their family is
