Chapter 1128: Scheduled Headline Interview

Outside the window of the minister's office, it looked like the sun was shining.

Of course, I mean, the bright sunlight may be limited to the window of the Ministry of Magic.

Due to the fact that the Ministry of Magic is located deep underground, it is apparently impossible to open a regular window. However, if the members of the department work in an environment where they do not see the light of day all day, at least it will not be good for their physical and mental health.

As a result, almost every window in the underground building of the Ministry of Magic is magical, and the weather of each day is basically determined by the Ministry's Magic Maintenance Office.

According to Arthur Weasley, there was a time last year when a hurricane blew outside the windows of the Ministry of Magic for two months, and this was only because the maintenance staff wanted to raise their salaries.

However, even if their wages have not risen so far, they have not dared to change the weather outside the window easily lately.

After all, some departments in the Ministry have been under a lot of pressure these days, especially our Minister of Magic, Mr. Scrimgeur.

"Oh, the weather in your window is so nice today, I want to cast a spell on my room too. As I think you know, the air is a little slimy outside, and it's probably going to rain again! ”

Maca sat on the couch, calmly sipping a cup of coffee that Scrimgour's secretary had just brought her, and as she sipped, she looked at him and didn't seem to want to get to business so quickly.

When Kingsley heard this, he smiled a little angrily:

"Mr. McLean, you probably don't know - the ministry has been strained all day now, and if there is another haze outside the window, everyone will have a hard time this day!"

Although many people have actually learned by now that Kingsley and Maca are obviously secretly related, on the surface, they still have to pretend to be with each other.

Otherwise, from Scrimthour's position as Minister of Magic, he would be a little too embarrassed.

"Really?" Maca was very cooperative and gossiped with Kingsley, "Mr. Scrimgeur...... If you need help, just tell me that doing your part for the work of the Ministry of Magic is what all of us wizards in the British wizarding community should do! ”

"Uh...... Well, it would be great if you could have such an awareness! ”

Scrimgeour listened to Maca's high-sounding rhetoric and almost took it seriously.

Fortunately, he soon realized that the other party was just saying something beautiful in front of the female reporter of the "Daily Prophet", so he didn't make a joke at the beginning.

Obviously, while Maca doesn't seem to get down to business at all, the interview has already begun.

In fact, given that journalists are also human beings, it is impossible for all of them to strictly abide by industry norms and maintain eternal objectivity. Therefore, before the interview, ordinary small talk is a good opportunity to leave a specific impression on the other party.

"Miss Braithwaite," said Marca, who suddenly turned to the tall female reporter and smiled lightly, "and I have to trouble you with one thing, and I would like to tell you, Mr. Gufe, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, that I am glad to see the latest reports from your newspaper every morning!" Well, I'll remember to pay from next year! ”

"Oh, that's nothing...... With your net worth, if you want to, it's just a trivial matter to pay for 100 years! ”

To be worthy of being a journalist, Betty reacted quickly to Maca's little joke.

Moreover, it can be heard from her tone that the Daily Prophet still has a lot of respect for Maca, the youngest outstanding wizard of the British generation.

Yes, Betty's response was noticeably more cautious than the previous conversation with Scrimgeour.

It's just that from the other party's echo, Maca can also detect that this female reporter mentioned his worth intentionally or unintentionally, which is obviously not an accident.

"Well, do you want to show me how investigative their newspaper reporters are?"

After a moment's thought, Maca nodded secretly with some understanding.

If it is said that the Potions products he did were almost always done in the black market in the past, only now because of the turmoil in the black market, some of them have turned to the surface.

Although the degree of secrecy will inevitably be reduced accordingly, this matter is not something that can be found by anyone.

"Then borrow your auspicious words, I hope I can live for a hundred and ten years!"

Maca shrugged her shoulders not very concerned, and replied meaningfully. And his words are actually alluding to his own struggle with Helmao, and it is still unknown who will die and who will live.

After all, judging from the normal lifespan of wizards, it is not a problem to live beyond the age of ninety, and those at the level of Maca and Dumbledore will even live longer because of the activity of magic.

But the premise is that there are no surprises.

Regarding the temptation before Maca's interview, Betty seems to have tasted it. Hearing Maca's meaningful words, she couldn't help but smile slightly, politely and reservedly kept her sitting posture and bowed slightly:

"Mr. McLean laughed, but a hundred years is probably nothing to a wizard like you. If it weren't for Mr. Albus Dumbledore, if it weren't for ......"

Betty didn't finish her sentence, but the attitude she wanted to express was already clear. It seems that the Daily Prophet also seems to be more optimistic about Maca's final victory, even if they are not expected to take sides easily.

"Maybe!"

After figuring out the attitude of the female reporter and the newspaper behind her, Maca finally raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned her head and smiled at Scrimgeur.

"Mr. Minister, I think this interview should start here! I have to say that none of these people here are not busy, hurry up and finish what needs to be done, and then continue to work on their own business! ”

When Scrimgeour heard this, he couldn't help but mutter:

"It's not like you're dragging your feet."

But he naturally didn't dare to say this, so he immediately straightened the tie on his front again, and then straightened his waist and stretched out his hand to the female reporter and said:

"So, according to McLean, let's get started!"

The content of this interview is bound to make the front page of the Daily Prophet. For newspapers, this is a good time to attract attention and increase subscription rates; For the Ministry of Magic, this is another opportunity to guide public opinion and reduce the pressure on the Ministry's work.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem to be of much benefit to Maca's side that can make him show his face more and improve his already high popularity?

However, not only Kingsley knew it, but even the female reporter Betty had already guessed that Maca must have other plans, and there might be some big news in this interview.

Only Scrimgeur, who now wants to be imprisoned in this position, is still unaware of this.

"Okay, no problem!"

When Betty heard this, she put down the cup in her hand and took out her interview shorthand book and self-inking quill from the satchel next to her.

The photographer who was sitting on the side was also busy standing up with his magic camera at the moment, ready to take a few more photos and go back to the editor-in-chief to choose them personally.

"Bang!"

Before Betty could ask, she heard the old-fashioned magnesium powder flash explode, and everyone was forced to blink with a puff of smoke and a light that almost blinded the eyes of a dog.

"Oh, Fu Zuo, you can shoot again later—I think some of the generous men here will definitely give you time to take pictures!"

The photographer saw Betty waving her hand to disperse the smoke and stop herself from taking pictures, so she honestly sat back on the couch next to her.

"I'm sorry," Betty said when she saw him sit down, then turned her head again, "Well, first of all I have a few small questions here that I need you to ...... Oh, and Mr. Scrimgeour to answer for our readers—"

Most of her "small questions" were already prepared at the newspaper, and maybe even the editor-in-chief specially asked her to bring them over to ask Maca, so she was a little anxious for a while.

So much so that when she spoke, she almost forgot about Scrimgeur.

"Excuse me!"

Maca didn't say much, just nodded.

"Well, the first little question—" Betty asked after a slight pause, "about the recent chaos in the wizarding world in England...... For example, the underground gathering of dark wizards, and the disappearance of suspects in the Ministry of Magic dungeon, Mr. McLean, do you think personally...... What should I do? ”

To be honest, this first "little problem" is very tricky.

Of course, the tricky part of this question is not the question itself, but the object of the female reporter's question.

If you ask Scrimgeour directly, the Minister of Magic, it would be a regular official question. But Betty didn't mean to ask Scrimgeur, but instead asked Maca's personal opinion, which is obviously a bit intriguing.

Fortunately, Maca was not embarrassed by this, because as early as the wizarding revolution set off by Greenwald, Dumbledore, as an outsider, was asked similar questions by the media at the time.

"There is no compulsory obligation on the general public to assist the Aurors in dealing with the Dark Wizards, and the danger of the Dark Wizards is well known." Maca smiled calmly, "So I personally think that everyone should not get involved in these incidents lightly, and if you find anything, it is enough to inform the Auror office of the news as soon as possible!" You know, I think we can trust the Ministry of Magic to purge evil. ”

This is naturally said in one go, but Maca knows that this is not the answer that the female reporter Betty wants. At the end, he suddenly added:

"As for myself! As a member of the British wizarding community, I'm probably going to do my part - well, of course, on the premise of keeping myself safe, haha! ”
