All the armed forces lined up in front of the temple gate, and Albert, the leader, gave the order, and all the armed forces, including the tall giants, took a step to the right with their right legs in unison, and put their hands behind their backs. When the Minister of Magic, Owen, and his son Alan walked out and sat down on the seats set up at the press conference, the originally noisy venue immediately fell silent.

Owen cast a loud spell with a silent and wandless technique, and after a brief gesture of welcome, Owen's next steps caused an uproar: " The Ministry of Magic has been committed to maintaining the peace and stability of the British magical community, and trying its best to provide protection for the people, in the entire European magical community after the return of the mysterious man, we Aurors have ensured that our Britain is the safest place, but in order to better maintain law and order in this attack, make up for the lack of Aurors, the armed forces of the Umbrella Company will assist the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to maintain law and order, and jointly escort the safety of the magical community. ”

"Minister Harris, the Aurors have gone through rigorous examinations and training, and they can only take up their posts after passing the examinations, is it not rigorous enough for the armed forces of the umbrella company to assist the Aurors in handling affairs?"

"After all, the umbrella company is a private enterprise, and mixing it with official forces is suspected of violating public rights?"

"If the Umbrella Company enjoys the authority of an Auror, this is considered a public and private use, right? And as far as I know, many of the members of the Umbrella Company are from abroad... Will this create more serious security problems?"

"There is a mix of public and private, and there is no distinction between public and private, where will the next Minister of Magic be in the long run?"

......

"This is just a necessary measure to better protect everyone's safety in times of emergency, but don't worry, the security personnel provided by the umbrella to the Ministry of Magic do not have administrative enforcement powers, but only assist the Aurors in maintaining law and order, and must carry out all work under the leadership of at least one professional armed Auror. In addition, the Umbrella security personnel do not wear the Auror logo, and their uniforms are still the Umbrella Company logo, which is easy to distinguish..."Owen Harris was not annoyed by the reporters' increasingly acute questions, and patiently explained the status and authority of the Umbrella Company's armed forces when assisting the Aurors.

The discussion in the audience was not as sharp as those reporters, and a well-mannered wizard puffed out his chest and analyzed reasonably: "Although the questions of those reporters sound reasonable, in fact, since Secretary Harris took office, our law and order has obviously improved." There are frequent terrorist attacks in other countries, but we don't have them here, after all, because of the Ministry of Magic, these patrolling Aurors, those Death Eaters dare not show their heads. ”

"I think ha, the number of patrols has increased, and the frequency of patrols will definitely increase, which makes me feel safe, since the Aurors reformed, now there are even fewer thefts and disputes..."A middle-aged witch hugged her child and chimed in, "If you want me to say, the umbrella company provides so many armed forces to maintain law and order, I'm afraid the cost is not small... The Harris family isn't paying out of their own pockets to protect the wizarding world, I don't know what they are not satisfied with? Why do these people keep grasping at the small problems of the Ministry of Magic? Do they have a grudge against the Ministry of Magic? This is too harsh..."

"Remember last year's major blood change in the Ministry of Magic, I guess it was the dirty political struggle of these pure-blood families, maybe behind them are the pure-blood families who were kicked out of the Ministry of Magic... Deliberately to retaliate..."?? Seeing the scene fall into chaos, the polite wizard before watched others show a sudden expression with his words, he was quite complacent, shook his coat, and stood more straight, "I don't care how they want to fight, but this measure can make my life safer is a good measure..."

A few ordinary wizards who were holding and eating an out-of-season watermelon that had been ripened with magic nodded their heads in agreement, and they didn't feel much about the struggle at the top, but they liked this measure, which resonated with many civilian wizards, after all, the more forces that surrounded the security, the safer they would be in theory.

In fact, like the pure-blood families, Owen also installed some of himself offstage to guide public opinion, but the difference is that this time he didn't use professionals like Rita Skeeter, who is entangled with other purebloods, to confront those reporters head-on, as long as he is entangled, it will appear that the Ministry of Magic is incompetent no matter what, so Owen only asked Harris's people to say something at a critical moment to make the incident more controversial- After all, these high-level battles have nothing to do with those melon-eating wizards, as long as they are allowed to see the benefits they can get from these measures, they will naturally not be in trouble.

Then Owen announced the casualties caused by the devil's attack on Hogsmeade and the specific rescue measures to the media present.

"Minister Harris, does this attack prove that the Ministry of Magic is still negligent in maintaining security, and what will the Ministry of Magic do next?"

"Has the Ministry of Magic investigated the masterminds?

"Is it a major information omission, how can the Ministry of Magic make up for its own mistakes? Is it related to the rumored rumored omission of Mr. Rufus Scrimgeur, the head of the Auror Office, who was not given sufficient command?"

"Safeguarding and maintaining the safety of the wizarding world is the primary responsibility of the Ministry of Magic and related functional departments. The Ministry of Magic cannot blame the other party for its strength and cunning, is the government suspected of evading its responsibilities and prevaricating such a report?

......

The cameramen focused their lenses on Owen, the flashes of the vintage cameras began to explode and smoke, and they did not miss the slightest change in the expressions on each other's faces.

Owen Harris remained silent in response to these sharp questions, his voice calm: "Thank you for your question, about the mastermind behind the scenes, who exactly is still under investigation, but according to the on-site surveillance Ribayer's own confession and the testimony of passers-by present... I'm sorry that according to the information I have so far, although the exact person is still being investigated and confirmed, it is indeed some of our own pure-blood families in the British wizarding community who are behind the scenes and have been connected to the devil and even mysterious people and participated in this attack... I consider this to be a grave betrayal, and we at the Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate this matter very closely, and we will not wronged any innocent people, and certainly will not spare any of the participants in the attack. ”

As well-informed pure-blood families, after hearing that Owen · Harris knew that the devil's attack was done by the mysterious man and the Death Eaters, but he used the devil's words to pour this basin of sewage on their heads, very angry, they really wanted to pull the Harris family down, but this matter really had nothing to do with them, in fact, if it wasn't for the return of the mysterious man, if it weren't for the fact that they were more afraid of the more crazy Dark Lord, if it weren't for Dumbledore's years of more open and secret fighting with them and his old age made these purebloods think that the current situation needed Allen's existence, they would have launched a stronger counterattack, instead of expecting to compromise with each other as they are now。

"Slander! This is slander!" a young wizard waved his arms angrily, "Minister Harris, you and I both know that the real pure-blood family doesn't bother to do such a thing! Not to mention that killing two little witches doesn't do any good to the British pure-bloods?

"I'm sorry, sir, I just told the truth what we had investigated, and in fact, I regret it as well, knowing that my family, my wife's family is also a pure-blood member of England, and I am deeply saddened that this happened... As a father, I am also very angry, I think that the man behind this devil is trying to make my son irritated and depraved... If they succeed..."Owen's expression was very sad, and he looked aggrieved, he turned his head and beckoned to the audience, "The reason why the Ministry of Magic didn't release this video before is because we can't be sure who the devil is depicting yet, but I didn't expect that many of the family's media will respond faster than the Daily Prophet..."

Soon, the TV at the makeshift press conference showed surveillance footage of Bayer's speech at that time: "... You know, the pure-blood families from your native Britain have offered me a tribute that I can't refuse..."

???? Hearing what Bayer said, seeing the situation at the time, thinking that although the devil's words were not credible, but they never told lies, coupled with the recent involvement of the interests of the pure-blood family and the Harris family, and the performance of these pure-blood families, so even if they knew that it was their nature to deliberately provoke the devils, many people believed that they might not be able to get rid of this attack.

"Minister Harris, would you rather believe what a devil says, than trust our family that has been rooted in England for many years?" the young wizard roared loudly, and his forehead was bruised when he heard the whispers coming from around him, and saw the suspicious expressions of some people.

Under his leadership, many troublemakers chimed in, calling out the Ministry of Magic for its incompetence and preferring to believe the Devil's one-sided word - but they weren't enough for the half-bloods and Muggles, and they didn't spoil the argument that had just been created on the video, which caused chaos for a while.

"May I ask Minister Harris, what would we, as ordinary wizards, do if there is such an adversary that the Aurors alone can't solve quickly?" a gray-bearded reporter put his glasses on his pen hand, and skillfully diverted the topic of debate, focusing on the weakness of the Ministry of Magic in this incident, "As far as I know, even the Aurors were unable to contact the headquarters during this attack, so if we as ordinary people encounter such a situation, who should we count on to help us?" I don't think that even with the selfless dedication of the Harris family, it will not solve the problems highlighted by the Ministry of Magic in the Hogsmeade attack, and Mr. Alan Harris must not be allowed to participate in patrols everywhere? I don't think even if he was on patrol, it wouldn't solve the problem. ”

The journalist was Dempster Wiggleswald, who originally worked in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic and worked as a consulting columnist for the Daily Prophet, answering questions related to the law, before Harris lost his original position after Allen's showdown with Mysterio, and it wasn't until the recent Purebloods and Harris Struggle that heated up that he was allowed to play to his specialties by those who accepted him.

"Wigswald, you have a good question, and the other thing that will be announced next is precisely related to this, and now my heir, Alan Harris, will announce that it is his decision. Owen gestured to his youngest son with his hand.
