"Lencoun, do you have anything to do with me?" Scrimgeour looked at the Daily Observer in his hand, and just glanced up at Ron, "If you're trying to deal with someone, don't try to ask me for help, my Aurors are used to deal with criminals, not to waste time on internal rebellion." β
"I'm not here for this." Ron said.
"And what are you here for, Lencowne?" Scrimgeour put down the newspaper and looked at Harry, "You're not going to sue me that you're in love with Cattermole, are you?" You don't need to report this to me. His tone was a little disgusted and detached.
"That's it, we've gotten some about Harry. Potter's clue. Harry said, "Lencaun thinks you need to be informed about this. β
"Harry. Porter? Scrimgeour said in a strange tone, and he suddenly stood up, "What clue?" β
"We learned that Harry. Potter may have been plotting against the Ministry of Magic with his friends. Ron said, "The Weasleys' youngest son went missing with him. β
"I've known about this for a long time, is there anything new?" Scrimgeour walked up to the two of them.
"And there'sβ"
"Also, the two of them knocked out two Ministry of Magic employees and took Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be like them and swaggered into the Ministry of Magic." Scrimgeour stomped his foot.
Harry and Ron glanced at each other and reached for their wands. β
"Put away your wands, these little tricks of yours can be seen through by an Auror." "If you want to use force, I don't mind taking the time to show you how stupid this idea is." β
Seeing that Scrimgeour was not hostile, Harry lowered his guard a little, "Mr. Scrimgour, we're hereβ"
"Who of you is who? Who impersonated Len Cowan? β
"I'm Ron. Weasley. Ron said.
"Then Reggie. Cattermole, of course, is Harry. Potter faked it. β
Scrimgeour waved his hand, "I'd say you guys came by coincidence. The dogs in the ministry were all taken out by Alex, otherwise you would never have been able to get here. Now you have come to me, do you mean the savior Harry. Potter had figured it out that saving the wizarding world wasn't just his and Dumbledore's responsibility? β
Harry felt his face burn hot, "I'm sorry, Mr. Scrimthour, I had a really bad attitude towards you before. β
"I've always been more tolerant of young people, so tell me about something. You have also seen the situation in the ministry, and everything has become different from before. The identities of the two people you're impersonating now are very sensitive. Albert. Lencoun, a ruthless wizard who will do anything for his position. Reggie. Cattermole, a cowardly logistics employee of the Magical Maintenance Service. It was impossible for the two men to move together, especially since Lencohen's strange sexual orientation was well known to the Ministry. By the time Alex returns, you'll be caught. β
"Who is Alex?"
"A guy you wouldn't want to meet, Minister Lucius's right-hand man, and he doesn't seem to have much reverence for Lucius. Long story short, what do you guys come to me for? Scrimgeour said.
"I wanted to ask. Did Dumbledore give me all the relics he gave you? Harry said.
Scrimgeour raised an eyebrow, "Of course it's all for you, do I look like someone who would withhold someone else's things?" β
"Of course not, but the portion I got wasn't complete. I wonder if he left the rest for someone else? For example, Jack. Silver? Harry said.
"Dumbledore did give Jack. Silver and Hermione. Miss Granger had left things, but I'm sure they weren't part of the parchment. Scrimgeour said, "I shouldn't have sued you for this kind of thing, but I can make an exception to answer your doubts."
Scrimgeour sat back in his seat. "Dumbledore left the Gryffindor sword to Jack. Silver, and additionally gave it to Hermione. Miss Granger has a key. β
"Gryffindor's sword?" Harry and Ron looked at each other, "But Jack. . . Silver is a Ravenclaw. Gryffindor's Sword ......"
"Gryffindor's sword has its own legacy, and Dumbledore only owns it temporarily, and I think Dumbledore is just trying to find a reliable guy for the sword to hold for the time being."
"Why didn't he give the sword to Professor McGonagall? She is the Dean of Gryffindor. Ron said.
"Then you'll have to ask Dumbledore, I'll just do what I will." Scrimgeour said.
Harry was a little frustrated, he took such a big risk and thought to go to the Ministry of Magic to find Scrimgeur, in exchange for this kind of answer, he also began to complain a little about Dumbledore, what can't he say to him directly?
Suddenly, a cat's-eye stone on Scrimgeur's desk chirped sharply, of varying lengths.
Scrimgeour looked at the stone, and a slight smile appeared on Yan's face. "Great, it looks like that Alex guy is in some trouble, he won't be back yet, I think we still have some time, you guys hid Lencawan and Cattermole, right?"
After Harry's affirmative answer, Scrimgeour tapped the cat's-eye stone with his wand to silence it again.
"You know what? You are now wanted by the Ministry of Magic. β
Scrimgeour surprised Harry and Ron as soon as he spoke.
"The wanted warrant will be posted on every corner starting tomorrow, and the wanted person is Harry. Porter, Ron. Weasley, Jack. Silver and Hermione. Granger, one of four newly grown wizards who received a bequest from Dumbledore. β
"Why are you wanted? Is the Ministry of Magic completely charged? β
Scrimgeour didn't go straight back to the question.
"The crime is suspected of colluding with dark wizards to murder the former minister Dumbledore, and Alex, the director of the Special Operations Department of the Ministry of Magic, believes that you are the culprit in the murder of Dumbledore."
"It's simply a reversal of black and white! Bloody mouth! Harry said angrily, waving his fist. What evidence do they have? β
"They have witnesses." Scrimgeour said in a strange tone, "Two witnesses, Professor Slughorn and Professor Snape, testified against you. β
"Wait, wait." Ron looked a little unsettled about his sudden desire to become a wanted man, "I wasn't there when Dumbledore died, Hermione. It's the same with Granger, why is he wanted too? β
"Professors Slughorn and Snape did testify only to Harry. Potter and Jack. Silver but Alex who signed the wanted warrant put you and Hermione. Granger's name was added. β
"Why?"
"I don't know, I personally think it's the same as when he was Rita at the time of the Triwizard Tournament. Skeeter is a loyal reader. (To be continued......)
