Chapter 57: The Next Minister of Magic?
"However, this is only the result of preliminary verification, and if one or more Potions masters are willing to help, they may be able to use potions to neutralize these side effects." Mellen Watts' words soothed Nott's face a little.
"What month is it today?" Tang Bai raised his head and looked at Mellen-Watts and Noether and asked out loud.
"August 20th." Mellen Watts looked at Tang Bai with some confusion, not understanding what the purpose of his sudden inquiry was.
"It's coming." Tang Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and while recalling the memories of the Harry Potter world in his mind, he gently spat out a sentence that made Mellen Watts and Nott feel even more inexplicable.
"What's coming soon? Don, are you trying to make us guess the riddle? Nott frowned.
"It's just the time of prophecy."
"Prophecy? What did you say before, prophecy about that man? Before Tang Bai's words could land, Mellen Watts immediately thought of the prophecy that Tang Bai had told him.
"Yes, it was a prophecy made to Dumbledore by Sybil Trelawney, the great-great-grandson of the famous soothsayer Kassandra Trelawney, and the current Hogwarts professor of divination. A major prophecy made in 1980 about the safety of the wizarding world! Dumbledore was convinced. Tang Bai effortlessly uttered Sybil Trelawney's message, and added a sentence at the end.
"Hell! I never knew of this prophecy from anyone. Mellen Watts scolded in a low voice. He didn't doubt what Tang Bai said, because Tang Bai didn't have the need and reason to deceive them with a lie that would be exposed sooner or later.
There is no need to wonder if Trelawney's predictions are accurate. Although Mellen Watts doesn't know much about Sybil Trelawney, he believes in Albus Dumbledore.
Because of this prophecy, before today, only four people in the British wizarding world knew about it. Two of them knew the full prophecy, while the other two knew only a part of the prophecy. Tang Bai said neatly.
"Those who know the full prophecy should be Sybil Trelawney, who made the prophecy, and Albus Dumbledore, who heard the prophecy. Who are the other two? Knott immediately deduced the identities of the two men.
"The other two, one is Severus Snape, whom we need to woo in the future, and the other is the current ruler of darkness, His Majesty the Dark Lord." For Voldemort, Tang Bai didn't have much fear, this is like an ordinary person who knows that lions and tigers are terrible, and when they have not faced him face to face and experienced that kind of horror, his perception of "terrible" is extremely shallow.
But Tang Bai did not directly say Voldemort's name as unceremoniously as the protagonist Harry Potter. Voldemort placed a spell on his title, and anyone who dared to say his name would be perceived and perceived by him. Tang Bai didn't want to cause some unnecessary trouble at such a critical moment.
Neither Voldemort nor Dumbledore had any desire to contact him.
"I've heard some rumors that Severus Snape is a Death Eater." Mellen Watts's face turned pale in an instant, as if he realized something terrible, he turned his head stiffly, glared at Tang Bai with a somewhat flustered expression, and said categorically: "Don, it seems that we have to give up on winning over Severus Snape!" Thankfully, we haven't had time to contact each other yet. Otherwise, we're in big trouble. ”
Mellen Watts' words also instantly made Nott nervous, and he also followed with a postscript: "I think what Mellen said makes a lot of sense. Although it is said that it has the protection of the Brave Loyalty Curse, no one can tell the secret of the Clover Grass unless you have your permission. But the Loyalty Mantra is not without its flaws. If that man, and his vicious followers, had learned the secret of the Shamrock from Severus, they would have gone out of their way to rob it. We can't afford to take that risk! ”
Out of concern, some of the words that Knott had to say were a little vague. The Loyalty Spell is indeed perfect for protecting a secret in the heart, but only if the person who keeps it safe and alive is still alive. If there is any accident in the secret, all the people who know the secret will automatically become the secretkeeper of the secret. As we all know, without strong constraints, this secret naturally does not matter to secrets.
"There's nothing to worry about. The existence and function of the clover is no secret as long as we want to use it for profit. What's more, we just provided Severus with the clover of life and death grass for research, as for the cultivation method of the clover life and death grass, and the cultivation base, he didn't need to know. I don't think he cares about that either. More importantly, Severus's identity is not as simple as you think. Tang Bai waved his hand.
Mellen-Watts and Noether glanced at each other helplessly, although their expressions were still mixed with worry, but what Tang Bai said did make sense.
"I'm curious, Don, Mellen said that you don't have any power in the wizarding world in England, but where did you get this information?" Knott blurted out a little uncontrollably.
"I once told Mellen Watts a little bit about where I came from." Tang Bai glanced at Mellen Watts on the side.
"Descendants of the family of the Prophet." Looking at Noether's gaze, Mellen Watts spread her hands. Although he was very skeptical about Tang Bai's self-introduction.
Noether was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that Tang Bai would be a descendant of the same prophetic family as Sybil Trelawney. However, he quickly returned to his normal state, and said to Tang Bai with a smile: "Then if Tang can predict who the next Minister of Magic will be, wouldn't we be able to gain great benefits and power from it?" ”
"Do you really want to know?" The corners of Tang Bai's lips unconsciously outlined a smile.
"Don! Don, can you really predict? Looking at Tang Bai calmly, Mellen Watts and Knott couldn't help but have a complex emotion of absurdity and surprise in their hearts.
"Two candidates, one is Cornelius Fudge and the other is an alternate, Rufus Scrimgeur. You can build some good relationships with these two people and push them up at critical moments. Tang Bai said frankly, and then said, "In addition, it is best for you to have close contact with Severus Snape after the fall of the mysterious man. As long as you reveal the role of the clover to him, he will never refuse your wooing. ”
