Chapter 1467: Resignation in Critical Condition
The new Ministry of Magic building in Spiral Town has a similar arrangement of office areas that originally lay underground in London.
Although because during the previous attack, many former employees of the Ministry of Magic secretly left and ran for refuge, so that many departments are currently temporarily suspended. However, after temporarily assigning several members of the department that were not very important during the war to other offices to make up for it, the work of the Ministry of Magic was barely restored.
Of course, the situation is definitely not good.
Maca followed Jayden, who had hurried around the town until he finally found his back-office clerk, and walked up the spiraling staircase as he walked through the somewhat empty building.
It can be seen that since the magic elevator has not yet opened, a small number of members of the Ministry of Magic who go up and down the stairs basically rely on brooms to fly in the middle for convenience.
Because the main body of this building is a "Hui" sub-shaped building, the offices are all around, and the middle is completely empty from the hall to the top. Therefore, in the case that the magic elevator cannot be used, it is indeed extremely convenient to fly.
"Jayden, don't we use broomsticks?"
After Maca's question, Jayden, who was walking in front, immediately turned around and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Mr. McLean! I'm really sorry...... Actually, I don't seem to have been born with flying magic tools like broomsticks. When I was still at Hogwarts, I tried five times in flying lessons, and all five of them ended up breaking bones...... So, since then I have been adamant not to ride a broomstick. ”
"Oh, so miserable?"
When Maca heard this, she shook her head with a smile and a smile.
"I thought there was some special reason why you asked me to follow you up the stairs...... Well, but then again, your reason seems to be special enough! ”
Saying this, Maca suddenly waved her hand and flew directly down the spiral staircase with the other party.
Then, in the "whoop" howl of Jayden, who was completely unaccustomed to flying, he rushed towards the top of the building like a firebolt.
In the blink of an eye, Maca landed down the corridor on the top floor, and then casually put Jayden, whose legs had become spaghetti, back on the ground.
"Rest here for a while! I'll just go to the minister's room myself. ”
With that, Maca stopped paying attention to Jayden, who was talking about the ordinary fear of heights in an extremely subtle way, and walked straight to the office of the Minister of Magic, which was not far away.
"Knock knock."
"Who!"
Hearing Scrimgeoiard's voice shouted out immediately after the knock on the door, Maca nodded in obsession.
Originally, he was already a little suspicious of the reason why the other party was in such a hurry to call him, but now that he heard the other party shouting like this, he could roughly determine why Scrimgeour was looking for him.
So, Maca didn't answer again, but opened the office door with a wave of her backhand.
"Ahh Who"
In Scrimjei's inexplicably frightened whisper, Maca stepped through the door, and then closed the door again.
"Didn't you call me yourself? Who else could there be? Helbo? ”
"Oh, McLean...... No, don't, don't mention that name here...... Isn't it said that ancient wizards were very good at name magic? Saying his name here will bring him in? ”
Looking at Scrimgeour's restless appearance, Maca couldn't help but say expressionlessly:
"Yes, I guess it's coming soon."
"What then? What to do...... Hide...... No, it's useless to hide......"
Hearing what Maca said, Scrimgeour immediately became a mess, standing up and doing it again. At first, he wanted to find a place to hide, but he quickly gave up again, just clenched the wand in his hand tightly, and looked in the direction of the door with a grim face.
Angry and amused, Maca simply sat down on his desk, then reached out and snatched his wand and threw it on the table.
"Alright, don't toss...... Even if Helbo comes, do you still think that he will honestly come in through the door? ”
After a moment's pause, he sat down on the table, sighed, and said:
"Mr. Scrimgeour, say it! You came to me out of the blue this time...... Is it planning to step down and resign, not the Minister of Magic? ”
"Huh?" Scrimther, who had just come back to his senses, was surprised, "How do you know? ”
To be honest, Maca originally thought that Scrimgeour was a more stable type, because he didn't usually talk much, and he usually didn't like.
But now it seems that too much pressure can also make people change their personalities.
Scrimthair, who is already ordinary in overall planning, can be said to be savoring his powerlessness all the time in such a catastrophe and chaos.
But he was the Minister of Magic after all, and even when it came to operations and refuge, Lupin and Kingsley had already helped him with most of the work. However, there were still a lot of things within the Ministry of Magic that he and the staff in the Minister's Back Office had to deal with.
The recent turmoil and the mass exodus from London have caused him a great deal of physical exhaustion and mental stress.
Today, Scrimgeur, who looks tough on the surface, but is not strong on the inside, is honestly close to collapse.
As far as Scrimgeour was concerned, Maca could see it from the commotion just now.
"Let's talk about it first!" I'm sure I'm not going to take on the position of Minister of Magic. As Maca was talking, she was about to say something when she saw the other party, and immediately stopped him with a wave of her hand, "But, if you really don't have anything to do with it, it's not impossible...... I'll let Kingsley take over your ......"
"But you have to remember that once you step down voluntarily, you will never be able to sit in this position again!"
"No, no, I don't want it, I don't want any honor, I don't want any power...... I have come to realize very well that this chair, with my small abilities, will never sit steadily. ”
"Okay!"
When Maca heard this, she had to shrug her shoulders and say:
"Go and call Kingsley too! Although I don't think there should be any problem for him to take over, I still have to listen to his own opinion. After all, no matter what, this can be regarded as taking office in a critical situation, and he should also have his own right to choose. ”
Hearing what Marca said, Scrimgeour had any opinions, so he immediately ran out of the back office next door and asked people to go to Kingsley.
"Hmm......" Maca sat on the minister's desk, but couldn't help but look at the open door and shook her head, "But if you have to say it, at this time, it seems that it doesn't matter if you change people or not......"
