Hogwarts Reading Days

"Rufus, I really don't understand..."

Gadvin Robards stared down at the teacup he held in his hand. He seemed to be struggling, but he still asked his own doubts: "Why don't you succeed Cornelius Fudge as the new Minister of Magic immediately?"

"Now, not yet."

Scrimgeour looked up at Caldwin, and sighed softly in his heart, he was a little disappointed with his old friend's talent.

Scrimgeour would never let Caldwin take his place if he wasn't his trusted old buddy.

Well, even though the previous self was probably not very smart, but... after dealing with the smart Anderson, Scrimgeour felt that his mind was better than before.

Gadwin looked at his old buddy, did not continue to ask, but fell into a brief silence.

"Gardwin, do you have a way to solve the current troubles of the Ministry of Magic?" Scrimgeour put down his glass and asked suddenly.

"How is that possible." Gadwin shook his head vigorously: "Right now, the entire British wizarding world is simply a mess."

"Yeah, it's a mess, especially after the death of Amelia Bones." Scrimgeour was rather helpless, "Originally, I expected Amelia Bones to handle the current chaotic situation well. "

"So, you want me to send an Auror to protect her?"

"Well, it's a pity that after Burns died, no one came to clean up the mess left by Fudge." Scrimgeour did have some regrets. If Amelia Bones hadn't died, his choice would have been different. More, not like being completely cornered now.

"I simply don't know how to clean up the mess left by Fudge. If I take Fudge's place now, and I can't come up with a solution that satisfies everyone, then all the pressure will fall on me."

"That's why you're delaying on purpose now, not taking over the position of Minister of Magic immediately?" Gadwin suddenly realized, but quickly frowned again, "But, if the mysterious man..."

"Don't worry." Scrimgeour shook his head and said, "That kind of thing happens once, and it won't happen again in a short time."

"But……"

"If I really died like Amelia Burns, no one would dare to take over the position of minister." When Scrimgeour said this, his tone was very calm, "At that time, this mess will probably be over Dumbledore can only take over. I believe neither the Mysterious Man nor the Death Eaters want Dumbledore to be the new Minister of Magic."

Everyone hopes that Dumbledore can become the new minister and lead everyone through the current difficulties, but he can't solve the current problems by himself.

"The key is actually to defeat the mysterious man." Scrimgeour laughed at himself, "but we have no idea about this, and we have nothing to do, so we can only pin our hopes on that one."

Gadwin opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.

"Actually, if we can catch the mysterious man, we can try to throw him through the stone door in the Department of Mysteries." Scrimgeour said suddenly, "Maybe we can completely eliminate the mysterious man."

This is actually a proposal given by Albert, the most likely way for the Ministry of Magic to kill the mysterious man.

As for the existence of the broken stone door, Scrimgeour actually confirmed it. It is a very strange place, just below the courtroom.

"Is it really possible?"

"I threw the rat in there, and it did disappear, and I thought the rat was dead," Scrimgeour recalled.

"Catching the mysterious man is easier said than done." Gadwin said with a wry smile.

"At least there is hope." Scrimgeour reminded, "Don't forget, even Avada Kedavra cannot completely kill the mysterious man."

However, this incident is indeed like a dream.

"Next, what's your plan?"

"Naturally, hurry up and get ready to take over the position of Minister of Magic." Scrimgeour looked at his old friend, "You also need to hurry up and get ready."

Gadwin understood what the old friend meant. Even if Rufus became the minister and appointed him as the new head of the Auror office, he might not be able to secure the position of head of the Auror office. Then the Ministry of Magic will fight against the leader of the mysterious man. In the battle of the Death Eaters, the power of the Auror will be crucial and must be firmly in hand.

"Have you made any big moves recently?" Gadwin asked suddenly.

In fact, as long as you have a little brain, you can guess that the Auror office will have a big move next.Although it was claimed to be in response to Voldemort's possible massacre of Muggles, Gadwin felt that it might be just an excuse.

His old friend apparently has other plans and is planning a big operation.

"I have already suggested to Fudge to use tough measures against the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters." Scrimgeour's voice was a little cold, "Allow the Aurors to use black magic to deal with the enemy, and when there are Death Eaters who refuse to surrender, they will Kill him on the spot."

"you……"

"You think it's too ruthless too? Dear Caldwin, I have no way out." Scrimgeour drank the tea in his cup and sneered, "Unless I admit that I am a coward and give up my current position voluntarily, Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before you confront the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters. Since we are enemies, then don’t show mercy. Can I still expect them to let me go? One example of Amelia Bones is enough."

Gadwin was silent for a moment, and reminded, "They are not as reliable as you imagined."

"I know, but I have no choice, and they have no choice, unless they give up being Aurors." Scrimgeour said grimly. Solve the You-Know-Who and Death Eater problems."

Gadwin stared at his old friend dumbfounded, never expecting Scrimgeour to say such words.The change of his old friend made him feel strange. This is the posture of going all out to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters!

Perhaps, Scrimgeour had already awakened.

And what about himself?

Caldwin was ashamed of himself. He had only thought about being promoted to Chief of the Auror Office, and hadn't given it much thought.

"After I become the Minister of Magic, I will announce a protection treaty for the Auror family to prevent those despicable Death Eaters from threatening us with the family." Scrimgeour continued to talk about his follow-up arrangements, "The Auror office is very Important, once we lose it, it's over, so you have to keep him under control."

If he didn't know Albert, Scrimgeour would never have thought of being so extreme, but Albert told him that he would probably die in office.

Nobody wants to die.

Scrimgeour is no exception, as far as Albert is lying.

Before getting to know Albert, Scrimgeour would definitely have thought that way, even if the other party was a well-known master prophecy, he would not believe that kind of nonsense, and would dismiss the so-called master prophecy.

However, witnessing it with your own eyes and understanding it for yourself makes the experience different.

Scrimgeour was well aware of Anderson's true ability, and no longer doubted the accuracy of his predictions, because he saw his own death.

Scrimgeour simply gave up all delusions.

He didn't want to be Burns.

Either give up all his positions and hide under the reputation of a coward, or fight directly with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Even if he dies, he will not die too uselessly. He feels that if Burns really becomes the Minister of Magic, Eighty percent would do the same.

After all, the hatred between the two sides is very deep.

As for Fudge, he suppressed Dumbledore at the beginning, probably out of consideration for his own safety, and it was really possible to do that with the integrity of the other party.

Don't look at Fudge being scolded miserably by everyone now, but he retreated unscathed and threw a lot of mess to his successors.

And his successor, Burns, died tragically at home as soon as he showed signs of taking office.

This directly led to the fact that after Scrimgeour became the Minister of Magic, the first thing he did was not to fight the Death Eaters, but to wipe Fudge's ass. He needed to restore the credibility of the Ministry of Magic and let everyone believe that he could lead everyone to defeat the darkness.

Scrimgeour had nothing to do about it.

He used to be very confident in himself, but after being reminded by Albert, he realized what he was about to take over.

Scrimgeour even regretted not strengthening the protection of Burns. If Burns hadn't died, he might not have been cornered.

However, Burns' death seemed to be doomed.

"When she didn't choose to hide, she was dead."

These are the exact words of Albert.

Burns died shortly after.

"When you become a minister, you will inevitably become an obstacle for the mysterious person to control the Ministry of Magic, and become the target of his power."

Later, Albert used the prophecy ball to let him see himself die under the Avada Kedavra Curse, and Scrimgeour knew he had no choice but to be tough to the end.

Therefore, he accepted the method provided by Albert, because it was the best way to break the situation at present, using Death Eaters to stand out.

As long as he can use the wedding to capture or kill a group of Death Eaters, and then take advantage of this incident to rise to power, he will be recognized by everyone in a short period of time and gain a firm position in the Ministry of Magic.

As for the consequences, it seems that even if he didn't do that, his results would not be much better.

Since he doesn't want to be a puppet, and he doesn't want to die, then he can only fight for that chance of survival for himself.

As for Fudge's proposal, to hell with it!
