"Minister, what are you looking for me for?" Silver looked around, "You're about to turn the Minister's office into the Headmaster's Office of Hogwarts, is it okay for Scrimgeour to do that?" he gestured to the photos of the previous Headmasters of Hogwarts hanging on the wall.

Indeed, if Silver hadn't been convinced that he had come to the Ministry of Magic in person, he would have thought that this was the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. The fine silverware stood on the slender table, quietly puffing smoke and spinning. Portraits of old principals and boys are snoozing in the photograph, some lazily leaning their heads on chairs with armrests, others leaning against the frame of the portraits. A small, ugly, featherless bird stood on a fine ash plate beneath a gilded perch, and it chirped merrily at Silver.

"Oh, poor Fawkes, you're ugly again. Silver stretched out his right hand and let the phoenix, which had not long since attained nirvana, peck at his hand. "Minister Dumbledore must have taken you to something dangerous again. ”

"Scrimgeour was probably glad I had a picture of the previous principals here, and he told me that it was uncomfortable for him to have so many principals staring at him. Dumbledore said.

"I'm uncomfortable with him, Dumbledore!" a clever wizard with a goatee opened his eyes, "You should have a Slytherin as Headmaster." ”

"Alright, Phineas, I'll think about it. Dumbledore said, "Scrimgeour sent me a couple of socks at Christmas, and told me he couldn't stay at Hogwarts anymore. ”

"Then pick a Slytherin to be the headmaster of Hogwarts. Phineas shouted, "I think that Severus Snape is good." ”

Silver recognized the clever wizard with a goatee, the ancestor of the little wolf, Phineas Nigelus Black, the most unpopular Hogwarts headmaster in history, who knew a series of tortures against his students, including the shackles and instruments of torture in Filch's office.

"Shut up, Phineas. In a frame next to Phineas, a shrewd-eyed witch held up an extremely thick wand, "If you still want to interfere with the selection of the Headmaster of Hogwarts, then try this." ”

"Oh, okay. Phineas glanced at the wand with some trepidation, "I'm just proposing a small suggestion, don't be so sensitive, I think there are too many Gryffindors and Ravenclaw headmasters in Hogwarts." ”

The shrewd-eyed witch was a well-known former Headmaster of Hogwarts, also from Gryffindor House, Maria Theresa, a hard-nosed witch who had knocked out three adult trolls with her stick-thick oak wand. Phineas didn't dare mess with her.

"Thank you, Maria. Dumbledore said, "But Hogwarts does need a Headmaster to disintegrate, Jack, what do you think of Horace?"

"Of course, Professor Slughorn has the qualifications to be the president, whether it is qualifications, popularity, or teaching standards, Professor Slughorn is outstanding, but it is not easy to convince him to become the president. Silver shook his head, "You also said that Professor Slughorn doesn't like to be in charge. ”

"The problem is that I don't have a better candidate. Dumbledore said.

"Professor McGonagall, for example?"

"And who's going to be the head of Gryffindor?"

"Then consider Mr. Black's offer to have Severus take over as Headmaster of Hogwarts and Professor Slughorn as Head of Slytherin. ”

"It's really worth considering. Dumbledore nodded.

Phineaston came to his senses, "Hey, Dumbledore, Hogwarts does need a Slytherin Headmaster, you need to know ......"

Maria impatiently used her wand in her hand to tell him to shut up.

"Minister, you didn't come to me to ask me for my opinion on the headmaster, I thought you'd tell me something else, like the Skuma deal that my parents were concerned about?" Silver asked tentatively.

"Things are very complicated with Scuma, I wrote to your parents. Dumbledore said, "They told me that the Skumar were not from Alaska. ”

"What?"

Dumbledore was pleased to see Silver's unexpected expression, "Your parents probably haven't had time to tell you that Skuma, who is now being secretly sold in England or most of Europe, is from South America. ”

"It can't be, the tiger people of South America are extinct. ”

"I thought so at first, until your parents sent me this today. Dumbledore handed Silver a photograph.

"Look at it, the information in this picture is amazing. Dumbledore said, "Fawkes and I went on a trip to Alaska to confirm some of these things, and it was a dangerous and troublesome journey. ”

Dumbledore touched the hairless Fawkes, who let out a clear chirp......
