Chapter 6 The High Ground of Public Opinion
Reluctantly, William ended up sitting down between Snape and Sirius.
Sure enough, he immediately smelled a smell from Professor Snape.
How to describe it, it's like a person with a fox smell, who eats a hundred garlic, snorts next to you, and forces you to swallow the coriander.
Oh, what a god of food in the world!
Professor, how did you manage to marinate yourself so well?
William held his breath, stinking to death and suffocating, he would rather choose the latter.
It's not so painful to die that way.
Before he could say anything, Professor Snape began to live, only listening to his yin and yang strange words:
"Big, you're on some difficult classified mission, aren't you?
Otherwise, why are you three minutes and fifteen seconds late, and let everyone wait for you alone?
Gee...... It can't be to ambush the Death Eaters, right? Yours is the real thing! ”
"Maybe it's going to take a shower." Sirius stabbed Snape painlessly.
"Not everyone likes to smell weird.
William, do you smell it?
Did someone go to the toilet and eat that thing? Why else does it stink so much? ”
Sirius is now sarcastic about others, and likes to say that others have eaten Ollie.
There's a reason for that, of course. On the night of Voldemort's resurrection, he followed William's instructions and went to Hogwarts to help.
After that, he secretly attended a celebratory banquet for Hermione by Gryffindor and got drunk.
When he got home drunk, he lay on his bed and slept unconscious all night.
The next day, he woke up with the stench, and when he pulled back the quilt, he saw that the quilt was full of ......
Mouth area!
He still thinks that he accidentally lost control after falling asleep!
A little bit of a breakdown in my heart.
Snape and Sirius, looking at each other hatefully, seemed to want to kill each other with their eyes.
William didn't speak, quiet as a little daughter-in-law.
It has nothing to do with him, you have to go out and do it.
However, under Dumbledore's stern gaze, the two were limited to eye contact, and did not go any further, making physical contact.
This made William quite regretful.
Now that William has arrived, the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix has officially begun.
William was the first to speak...... This is certainly impossible!
Although he is famous, strong, handsome, rich and billion, there is no one at this table who can fight, but ...... He was too young.
Most of the wizards sitting here are old members of the Order of the Phoenix from the last wizarding war.
William had fought against Voldemort, and had done a lot of things that no wizard had ever done.
But at least at the Order of the Phoenix, he's still a newcomer...... Lack of seniority and prestige.
Human society is like this, everywhere you have to rank according to seniority!
It's not with Voldemort, it's just personal ability.
Messed up?
The day before you were still the Dark Lord's favorite, the kind of night sleeper...... The next day, Arvada may evaporate from the world like a big melon.
Tsk, it seems that only the Death Eaters team are based on ability, and there is not so much stale bureaucracy.
But the Death Eaters need a threshold, and not everyone can enter.
The threshold is pure-blood, which can tolerate mixed blood, but cannot be Muggle-born.
Pure-bloods are equivalent to the world's greatest, and mixed-race ones are also double-first-class, last-class 985, 211.
Muggle-born wizards...... It is equivalent to the four non-and the big person, not only do people not want it, but they also want to kill you.
Therefore, it is impossible to change jobs.
William sat like a minion...... Waiting for the surprise, brushing up on prestige and seniority, so as to pry the corner of the principal.
He wants to turn Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix into Stark's Akali, the Order of the Phoenix.
The first to speak was Professor McGonagall.
She took the thick paper and began to report on her recent work.
Professor McGonagall's report was lengthy and dry, mostly revolving around the wizards she had come into contact with recently.
Dumbledore needed to spread the news of Voldemort's resurrection, and more people needed to join the Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort.
However, in order to avoid exposure and ensure reliability, the Order of the Phoenix is still adopting the old method of contact on the one belt and one side.
In other words, the Order of the Phoenix does not want to join, it must be vouched for by reliable members.
It's a secret underground organization that exists only to fight the Dark Lord.
But the effect is not too good.
People don't want to believe it...... Voldemort is resurrected.
Even if there was Dumbledore's speech, even if Stark admitted it, everyone was waiting.
Dumbledore looked at Kingsley and asked, "What did Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, say?"
Can you fight for it? ”
"I tried this with the director, and he didn't seem to believe it, and more evidence was needed." Kingsley shook his head.
"Evidence...... Didn't Umbridge already take the Aurors and inspect the cemetery? There are so obvious traces of battle. ”
Sirius frowned.
"In fact, those two Aurors are from Umbridge.
They faked the scene, saying it was a landslide. Tonks explained.
"Yes, the ministry has also issued a clear document to characterize this matter." Mr. Weasley sighed.
"I have an acquaintance in the Muggle Liaison Office, and he has told me that Umbridge has sent amnestics to modify the memories of nearby Muggles."
Emilen Vance Fasttrack:
"She also ordered the Misinformation Office to contact the Muggle Prime Minister and ask them to declare that it was a landslide."
“…… Perhaps we should take a step back. Mundungus, who had been silent, spoke.
"Our target is the Mystic and the Death Eaters. But if this continues, it may come into conflict with the Ministry of Magic. ”
Mundungus was echoed by a number of people.
Many members of the Order of the Phoenix are officials of the Ministry of Magic. They didn't want to fall out with the Ministry of Magic just yet.
"We gave up propaganda on the surface, tried not to provoke Fudge, and reached out to those who believed behind our backs." Stoic Podmore said.
William shook his head disappreciatively.
Dumbledore crossed his hands, looked at William, and asked, "William, what is your opinion?" ”
Everyone looked at him.
William's eyebrows raised, this is the beginning of paving the way for him, brushing his prestige?
"Say whatever you want, whatever you want." Dumbledore encouraged.
William thought for a moment, stood up, looked around and said:
"I don't think the same way as everybody else.
Of course, we have to deal with Fudge, and we have to use the most drastic means. ”
"I know...... Everyone thinks that Voldemort is back, and thinks that the main contradiction at the moment is the conflict between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.
But we also need to see the reality clearly.
Before us lie three mountains – Public Opinion, Minister Fudge, and Lord Voldemort. ”
"We have to defeat them all, and this order cannot be wrong."
William propped his hands on the table, his eyes twinkled:
"If we do not occupy the high ground of public opinion, we will be occupied by the enemy.
Look, the next thing the newspapers are going to stigmatize us, they're going to stigmatize Dumbledore.
They will say that Dumbledore is old and has been working for a long time with high self-requirements and pressure.
There is obvious physical and mental exhaustion, and there is a large gap between their social roles, self-expectations and psychological feelings.
Over a long period of time, his anxiety has become increasingly aggravated, and he has gradually formed a mindset and adopted extreme behaviors cognitively. ”
"How dare they do that?!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.
"Actually, it's already already been done, Professor." William said softly:
"I have a piece of information here, which I just obtained.
That's you, Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid you won't be able to attend this International Conference of Wizards. ”
"Why? Sirius shouted.
"Fudge has removed Professor Dumbledore's British representative."
Everyone was silent.
William said loudly:
"Everyone, give up all illusions, the battle begins the moment we announce Voldemort's return.
That's right, a battle with Minister Fudge.
Voldemort is the tallest mountain we will eventually defeat, but the first two must also be crossed. ”
"Politics is not a dinner party, but a life-and-death struggle!"
