Chapter 168: The Silver Hand Visits and the Enraged Temporary Minister
"Thirty minutes before Dumbledore locks up, we're going to hurry!"
Hermione and Harry quickened their pace, but the time was too rushed.
At the gate of the castle, they saw that the executioner was on his way to inform the Dementors, and it was too late.
Buckbeak was flying down with a ferret caught out of nowhere in his mouth, and Harry's eyes lit up and he hurriedly beckoned Hermione to sit down.
They flew to the eighth floor in Buckbeak and saw Sirius at the window.
Harry was pleasantly surprised, and then his eyes changed, and there was another person, and his and Hermione's expressions changed.
Hermione exclaimed, "It's the Minister of Magic!" ”
Rufus Scrimgeour stood in Sirius' doorway, and said with a smug look on his face, "We've been looking for you for a long time, you should know. ”
Sirius stared at him, not saying a word.
Scrimgeour didn't care, as long as he caught someone, it would be his victory.
He will become the new Minister of Magic.
When the time comes, even Johnny's silver hand should be restrained.
People are fickle.
When he was still the head of the Auror Office, Scrimgeour felt that Johnny Silverhand was a good partner.
When he was promoted to the position of minister, he suddenly felt that Johnny's silver hand was a bit of an eyesore.
In particular, the opponent pulled down Fudge, which made Scrimgeour even more threatening.
"If you're willing to name someone who helped you escape Azkaban, I'm willing to give you a better ending." Scrimgeour looked deeply at Sirius.
His meaning was clear, as long as Sirius was willing to pull Johnny's silver hand, he could choose not to let the Dementors suck the soul.
But Sirius was not moved at all, and sneered.
Harry and Hermione were in a hurry, Rufus Scrimgeour didn't leave, they didn't have a chance at all.
Seeing that the time was about to pass, the departing executioner hurried back and whispered something in Scrimgeur's ear.
Scrimgeur's face changed dramatically, and he hurried out of the place.
Harry and Hermione waited no longer and flew down on Buckbeak.
In a hurry, Hermione didn't even use the lock opening spell, and directly blew up the door lock with an explosion spell.
Even Sirius was shocked by her fierceness, and the two rescued Sirius.
Without even saying a word of goodbye, they told Sirius to hurry away on Buckbeak.
Then the two of them ran as fast as they could in their lives, running wildly through the castle.
With less than five minutes left, the two men were passing the spiral staircase when Scrimgeour heard his voice.
"Johnny Silverhand is coming to Hogwarts?"
"Without warning."
Scrimgeour walked away, and the two men quickened their pace.
When passing through a place, I just missed it with Peeves, saving unnecessary trouble.
At the last second, Dumbledore had just closed the door to the Colonel's hospital when the two men ran back.
Dumbledore turned his head unsurprisingly, a big smile appeared behind his silver-white beard, and asked softly, "How's it going?" ”
"It's done!" Harry and Hermione, one leaning against the wall and the other with his hands on his shoulders, both panting and pale.
Harry felt his stomach churn and his entrails roll into a ball.
"You look tired," Dumbledore listened carefully to see if there was any sound in the school hospital, "yes, you guys have escaped too, go inside, I'm going to lock you inside." ”
People are old and fine, and Dumbledore is creating alibi evidence for the three little ones.
As she was about to enter, Hermione tugged at Dumbledore's sleeve and whispered, "Professor, something happened to John. ”
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then said kindly: "I know, you go in first." ”
When the door was locked, Dumbledore turned to leave, his steps a little quicker.
After a few minutes, a roar could be heard in the distance.
The Iron Auror's temporary Minister of Magic was surprisingly furious, and Harry and Hermione looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is it because of Sirius?" Harry asked.
They listened carefully, and found that it was not only Sirius, but also the words of the silver hand.
...
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Johnny Silverhand."
Dumbledore saw Johnny's silver hand, his eyes with wisdom behind the half-moon lenses.
In front of him, the silver mask and the green robe, the voice of Lord Silverhand was low and hoarse, shaking hands with Dumbledore.
Before Dumbledore entered the room, there was already a man here.
Rufus Scrimgeour had a bad expression, as if Johnny had just said something to him.
"I'm sorry, I need to be sidelined, that damn Sirius needs to face sanctions."
Scrimgeour glanced gloomily at Johnny Silverhand, leading the executioner and Snape along.
There were two people left in the room, and Johnny Silver let out a light sigh and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I heard that your school is willing to restart the Triwizard Tournament, and I am willing to sponsor a sum of money as a reward. ”
"Oh?" There was no expression on Dumbledore's face.
He was even more curious about where Johnny Silverhand had learned about this, it was just a plan, and no more than four people knew about it.
"Sponsorship? Don't know how Johnny Silver Hand can sponsor? Dumbledore remained silent.
Johnny Silver tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I have always been committed to training underage wizards, and this is a good opportunity to spread the word, if Headmaster Dumbledore is willing to agree, we will provide 5,000 Galleons as a reward." ”
This amount directly multiplied the original reward of 1,000 Galleons several times, and Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about it.
Seeing Dumbledore's thoughts, Johnny Silverhand spoke again: "In addition, Johnny Silverhand's store will give away a set of 'Zhi' series products, and is willing to undertake follow-up maintenance work. ”
'of' series.
Dumbledore was a little tempted, and the 'Zhi' series at Johnny Silverhand's store was hot, even if the Aurors were very rare.
This set of equipment is already about the same price as the Galleon reward.
The most important thing is the follow-up maintenance, some of the 'Zhi' series need to be refilled with magic, and maintenance can greatly eliminate these.
It was undoubtedly a shortcut for students who were able to get this set of equipment.
After thinking for a moment, Dumbledore agreed.
Then, he saw Scrimgeour running back with a black face, and roared at Johnny's silver hand, "It's you, it must be you, right!" ”
"What's going on?"
Dumbledore pretended not to know, and Scrimgeour roared like an angry lion, his eyes fixed on Johnny's silver hand.
Johnny said lightly, "I don't know what Mr. 'Temporary' Minister is talking about. ”
Scrimgeour was stimulated by the two temporary words, and he stared at Johnny Silverhand with bloodshot eyes, and said, "You saved Sirius, Johnny Silverhand, I know it's you." ”
Johnny Silver sneered, "I've never left this room since I entered Hogwarts, and you're a serious slander, 'temporary' Mr. Minister." ”
Scrimgeour turned red with rage, and Snape came back with a gloomy face, saying, "Maybe it's Potter, it's not the first time he's done that little tricks." ”
Immediately, Scrimgeour led someone to break into the school hospital.
It's a pity that Dumbledore, the old bee, was ready for anything.
Harry skillfully said he didn't know, and Scrimgeour was angry.
In the end, he could only leave in anger and search the neighborhood with the Aurors.
Johnny Silverhand and Dumbledore were both indifferent.
To add insult to injury, the Daily Prophet came over and said it was going to be interviewed, but Scrimgeour didn't have the face to stay and left angrily.
Johnny also took his leave, and before leaving, he looked at Harry and asked, "This is the Savior Harry Potter?" ”
Harry nervously was about to say something when Johnny Silver shook his head away, muttering, "It looks like that." ”
Johnny Silverhand came in a horse-drawn carriage drawn by three flying horses.
Entering the carriage, he took off his silver mask, revealing the face of a mature man.
He complained to the boy opposite: "My lord, can you not let me come to this kind of thing in the future." ”
John smiled and said, "How was it to face Dumbledore?" ”
Tang Mi grimaced, "It's terrible, my instincts once told me that this man was quite dangerous, and I didn't seem to have any secrets in front of him. ”
"I think so, too." John laughed, and when the carriage left Hogwarts range, he got out of the car.
"Barty Crouch is a guy to be close to, he takes the initiative to show kindness, and we will reciprocate it."
"The sponsorship of the Triwizard Tournament is in hand, so that Rita can promote it well, and our interim minister ......"
John paused as he spoke, his eyes fell on the rat that had died in the cage, and said meaningfully, "I hope he likes the gift." ”
Tang Mi understood, nodded, closed the car door and drove Pegasus away.
John returns to the castle from the screaming shack.
