Vol 2 Chapter 393: Dumbledore's advice

"Principal, I think Mr. Hart should stay in the school hospital for a few more days!" Madam Pomfrey made a little fuss, she insisted: "Although I can be sure that his body has no major problems, but then Observation for three to five days should be the safest choice, otherwise in case something unexpected happens..."
　　
"I think your opinion is very constructive, Poppy!" Professor Albus Dumbledore said with a gentle expression: "But Mr. Hart has some other things to deal with... You know, it's a very time. ."
　　
　　 "Well..." Madam Pomfrey muttered: "The body should still be the most important..."
　　
　　 But she didn't insist on her opinion, but let Dumbledore take Jon Hart out of the school hospital.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 "Thank you, professor!" Jon said gratefully as he walked in the hallway of Hogwarts.
　　
　　 The past few days when I was "closed" in the school hospital, it was honestly very boring...In a different sense, Mrs. Poppy Pomfrey, the school doctor at Hogwarts, was a little too conscientious.
　　
　　 But she also let Jon's previous injuries swept away, and he became alive again.
　　
　　 "Nothing, come with me!"
　　
　　 Since it was early in the morning and there were no people in the hallway, Dumbledore took Jon into an empty classroom.
　　
　　 "Look at this!" Dumbledore said sternly after sitting down.
　　
　　 At the same time, he handed a newspaper to Jon. It is today's "Daily Prophet"... The ink on the newspaper is still very new, and it should have not been long since it was printed.
　　
　　 Jon lowered his head, his face became serious involuntarily. Because the headline of the front page is
　　
　　 "The Death Eater asked the Ministry of Magic to exchange hostages!"
　　
"A Death Eater who did not want to be named, a devoted obedient and follower of the mysterious man, warned this newspaper last night... They claimed to belong to the eleven employees of the Department of Fantastic Animal Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic, Now in their hands; the eleven employees are Dirk Cresway, Amos Diggory, Cuthbert Motrich..."
　　
　　 There are more than ten portraits attached to the bottom of the newspaper...The wizards in the portraits are all fastened by ropes, and the expressions on their faces are full of despair and helplessness. Jon recognized Cedric's father, Mr. Diggory, and Mr. Motrich in a dress...
　　
"The Death Eaters hope that the Ministry of Magic will not disappoint their employees. They have decided to use these eleven Ministry employees and exchange with the Ministry of Magic for the 11 Death Eaters held by them, including Bellatrix-Less. Tranch, Lucius Malfoy, Antonin Dolohov...
　　
　　 At 8 o'clock this morning, the Death Eaters will release one of the employees and return him to the Ministry of Magic. At the same time, they asked Azkaban to release one of the Death Eaters on the above list within half an hour and return his wand to him. If the Ministry of Magic achieves this, the Death Eaters will release another employee within half an hour; if the Ministry fails to achieve this, the Death Eaters will kill one of them and throw his body away. On a Muggle street..."
　　
　　 Wait... Eight o'clock this morning!
　　
　　 Jon's expression was shocked, he quickly looked down at his watch...The time is now 7:15, that is to say, it is only forty-five minutes before the so-called "hostage exchange" time.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 "How is this possible!" Jon murmured: "How could the Daily Prophet publish such content?"
　　
　　 In Jon’s impression, the Daily Prophet has not always been the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic; now that the Death Eaters have not controlled the Ministry, how could they help the Death Eaters publish such a news?
　　
"The original headline was not like this, Barnabas-Gufee (Editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet) told me personally!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "But the newspaper was attacked this morning. Be cautious and didn't cause much alarm; they just revised the content of the front page of the newspaper, and then sent all the newspapers out..."
　　
　　 "By the time they reacted, the owl had already flown around the UK with the newspaper?" Jon asked in a low voice.
　　
　　 "That's right!" Dumbledore nodded: "Now all the wizards in the UK who have the habit of reading the morning paper should already know this!"
　　
　　 "So... what opinion does the Ministry of Magic have on this?" Jon asked tentatively.
　　
"Scrimgeour advocates strictly rejecting Death Eaters' request..." Albus Dumbledore said slowly: "But Amelia disagrees... She thinks the lives of members of the Ministry of Magic should be taken more seriously. Important... Most of the top officials in the Ministry of Magic are inclined to Amelia's view."
　　
　　 Joan nodded silently!
　　
　　In fact, it’s not difficult to understand...If this matter is not made public, the Ministry of Magic can reject the Death Eaters’ request, even if it abandons those innocent employees...
　　
　　 But now, things have been made public... If more than a dozen employees are allowed to be executed by Death Eaters, it will be a great harm to the Ministry's reputation, and may even put everyone in the Ministry at risk.
　　
　　 And with such a short reaction time, it is difficult for the Ministry of Magic to come up with an effective solution.
　　
　　 frowned and thought for a long time... Jon still didn't think of any useful way. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com
　　
　　 He could only look at Dumbledore for help: "What do we need to do, Professor?"
　　
"To be honest, I didn't think of a good way." Dumbledore shook his head: "But Amelia and I promised that she has sent someone to negotiate with Tom, and she will release as few deaths as possible. only……"
　　
　　 "Well..." Jon sighed helplessly.
　　
　　 After the victory of the battle of the Department of Mysteries, the advantages obtained by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix seemed to be ruined a little bit... and the power of the Death Eaters was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
　　
　　 The situation seems to be a little less optimistic?
　　
　　……
　　
"Of course, this is only one of the things... and you don't need to worry about this. Amelia and I will deal with it as much as possible..." After a pause, Dumbledore continued to speak, "There is one more thing. ..."
　　
　　 "Huh?" Jon gave Dumbledore a suspicious look.
　　
　　 "I told you before that Diana was taken away by Scrimgeour and the Aurors..." Dumbledore said slowly, "Now, Miss Greengrass is alone in the old house..."
　　
　　 "...So I suggest that you should go to see her now, comfort her..." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Of course, this is just a little suggestion of mine!"
