The scene became a little awkward at one point.

Because after Rufus-Scrimgeour sighed and made that speech, Jon Hart didn't echo him as before, but picked up the glass of butterbeer on the table and began to drink "ton", "ton" and "ton".

So, Scrimgeour sat there very uncomfortably, waiting for the other man to finish his drink, and then put down his glass.

"What did you just say, Mr. Scrimthourge," Jon Hart asked, curious, "I'm sorry I didn't pay attention." ”

Scrimgeour's face sank suddenly, and he patiently repeated his previous words in a rough voice.

"Director, I don't quite understand what you mean. Jon seemed stunned, and then said with a look of disbelief:

"The witches and wizards interviewed by the Daily Prophet are all people who have made significant contributions and sacrifices in the battle against the Dark Lord...... You don't think wizards like Albus Dumbledore or Edgar Bones shouldn't be publicizing their deeds. In my opinion, that kind of behavior is a betrayal of history. ”

As soon as Scrimgeour heard the names of Edgar Bones now, he suddenly felt a little bigger.

He replied patiently, "Of course not, you misunderstood me, Mr. Hart...... Of course I don't mean to belittle them, but I have to say that those interviews have seriously disrupted the order of the Ministry of Magic, you know what I mean......"

"...... the readers of the Daily Prophet, when they see those interviews, they will have a one-sided view that the Ministry of Magic is not doing its part...... But the truth is the opposite, the Ministry of Magic did everything we could, you should know what I mean......"

The further back he went, the more confused Scrimgeur's logic became.

He wasn't a man of words, otherwise he wouldn't have been working in the Auror office for decades...... In order to explain his thoughts to the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he almost racked his brains to express it.

"Oh oh oh, I see. Jon made a look of abruptness, "You mean, those interviews gave the Ministry of Magic a very negative impression, and even affected the prestige of the Ministry, right?"

"Yes. Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief, and he nodded.

"I'm sorry about that. Jon smiled a little awkwardly, "I'm sorry for the trouble." ”

......

The other party's somewhat yin and yang attitude has already made Rufus-Scrimgeour a little angry.

If it weren't for his status as an official of the Ministry of Magic, he would have wanted to draw his wand and teach this young man in front of him what kind of respect he had.

But thinking about it that way, now he can only be patient and continue to communicate-

"Then Headmaster Hart ......," Scrimgeour continued, "what do you ......mean?"

"I swear it won't happen again. Jon said with a righteous face, "Director, when this interview is over, there will probably be six or seven more issues......

“...... After all, the preparations are ready, the interview script is ready, and I can't find Miss Rita Skeeter to blatantly cut down the rest of the interview, which would have been too bad. ”

Jon's voice was unhurried, and Rufus-Scrimgeur on the other side was about to explode.

Sensing that the other party's emotions were on the verge of collapse, Jon suddenly continued:

"Of course, you can also intersperse some information about the contribution of the Ministry of Magic and its staff in the fight against the mysterious people......

"Huh?" Hearing this, Scrimgeour suddenly calmed down and let out a strange scream.

"After all, in the past two years, in the fight against the Mystic and his minions, there are also a group of brave Aurors, as well as officials from the Ministry of Magic, who are on the front line of the fight against them. Jon continued to explain unhurriedly, "You are a striking example of you, for example, the Director, and you have captured many Death Eaters in the past two years, and have come close to death many times......

"The reason why I contacted Mr. Barnabas-Guffey to open that column in the Daily Prophet is to make the entire wizarding world remember the wizards who made great sacrifices in the war against the dark forces...... Including the Aurors, of course, and some of the staff of the Ministry of Magic......"

I have to say that compared to the previous ones who deliberately played the ball, this is a very sincere proposal.

Scrimgeour was also impressed, if it was really as the other party said, "popularizing" one or two Aurors or the like, and making the wizarding world realize that the Ministry of Magic had been working hard to protect them, there was no doubt that they would face much less pressure from public opinion.

This is probably also a concession made by the other side?

Scrimgeour pondered patiently for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "I have to say that you have some truth in what you said, Mr. Hart; ”

"Of course, the number of Aurors and members of the Ministry of Magic in the column is no less than that of the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts. Scrimgeour seemed to remember something, and quickly added.

"Director. Jon said suddenly, "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding about the Order of the Phoenix within the Ministry of Magic, the Order of the Phoenix is not an illegal armed organization, in fact, it exists to fight against the Dark Lord...... From the first generation of the Dark Lord fifty years ago, to the second generation of the Dark Lord twenty years ago, and then to the return of the mysterious man two years ago......"

"This is not a profit organization, in fact, don't say it's me, even if Albus Dumbledore is still alive, except to fight against the Dark Lord's forces, I can't control this power at will...... If you have anything else to worry about, you don't have to. ”

"And what I did was just to keep the wizards and sacrifices who made great contributions from being forgotten by this world. ”

I have to say that this is a heartfelt statement, and Scrimgeour seems to be able to feel the sincerity in the other party's tone.

"That's right, Headmaster Hart. He nodded, "You're right. ”

"So ...... Director," Jon said suddenly, "you seem to have mentioned something about Lady Diana Greengrass......"

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. Scrimgeour smiled suddenly and patted Jon on the shoulder, "Then I'll take my leave, Mr. Hart, the butterbeer in this bar is pretty good." ”
