All the armed forces lined up neatly in front of the temple gate, and Albert, headed by an order, all the armed forces, including the tall giants, took a step to the right with their right legs neatly and backed their hands to the back. When the Minister of Magic Owen walked out with his son Allen and sat on the seats arranged at the press conference, the noisy venue was immediately silent.
Irving used silent and wandless techniques to cast a loud voice curse. After a brief welcome, Irving’s next measures caused a tumult: "The Ministry of Magic has always been committed to maintaining the peace and stability of the British magical world, and doing its best for the people. Provide protection. In the entire European magic world after the return of the mysterious man, we Aurors have ensured that our UK is the safest place. However, in order to better maintain law and order and make up for the shortage of Aurors, we protect the umbrella. The company’s armed forces will assist the Auror of the Ministry of Magic to maintain law and order and jointly the safety of the magical world."
"Minister Harris! Aurors have gone through various rigorous examinations and trainings before they can take up their posts. Is this umbrella company's armed forces assisting Aurors in handling affairs not rigorous enough?"
"Umbrella company is a private enterprise after all. If it is mixed with official power, is it suspected of infringing public rights?"
"If the umbrella company enjoys Auror's authority, this is considered a private use of public power? And as far as I know, many members of the umbrella company are from abroad... Will this cause more serious security problems?"
"Public and private are mixed, public and private are not separated, if things go on like this, where will the next Minister of Magic be placed?"
...
"This is just a necessary measure to better protect everyone's safety in an extraordinary period, but don't worry, the security personnel provided by the umbrella to the Ministry of Magic do not have administrative law enforcement powers, but only assist Aurors in maintaining public order, and All tasks must be carried out under the leadership of at least one professional armed Auror. In addition, umbrella security personnel do not wear the Auror logo, and their uniforms are still the umbrella company logo. It is easy for everyone to distinguish..." Owen Harris He did not get angry because of these reporters’ increasingly acute questions, and patiently explained the status and authority of the Umbrella Company’s armed forces in assisting the Auror.
The discussion in the audience was not as sharp as the reporters. A gentle wizard raised his chest and analyzed with reason: "Although the reporters’ questions sound reasonable, in fact, since Minister Harris came to power, our The law and order has obviously improved. There are frequent terrorist attacks in other countries. We do not have them here. After all, it is because of the Ministry of Magic and the presence of these patrolling Aurors. Those Death Eaters are afraid to show up."
"I think ha, the number of patrols has increased, and the frequency of patrols will definitely increase. This makes me feel safe. Since the Auror reforms, there are even fewer thefts and disputes..." a middle-aged The witch hugged her child and echoed, "Let me say that the umbrella company provides such a large amount of armed forces to maintain law and order, and the cost is probably not small... The Harris family is not paying for their own pockets to protect the magic world, I don’t know them. What else is unsatisfactory? Why do these people keep holding on to the small problems of the Ministry of Magic? Do they have any enemies with the Ministry? This is too harsh..."
"I still remember the Ministry of Magic's big exchange of blood last year, I guess it was the dirty political struggle of these pure-blood families, maybe behind them were those pure-blood families who were expelled from the Ministry... deliberately retaliated..."? The scene fell into chaos. The gentle wizard looked at others with a dazed expression following his words. He was quite content, shaking his coat and standing straighter, "I can't control how they want to fight. But it’s a good measure to make my life safer..."
A few ordinary wizards who ate the off-season watermelon ripened by magic unconsciously nodded and agreed. They had no feelings for the upper struggling, but they liked this measure, which aroused the resonance of many civilian wizards. After all, The more security forces there are, the safer they are in theory.
In fact, like the pure-blood family, Owen also planted some of his own people in the audience to guide public opinion, but the difference is that this time he did not use Rita Ski, who was entangled with other pure-bloods. Professionals such as special confronted those reporters head-on. As long as they are entangled, the Ministry will appear incompetent no matter what, so Owen only asked Harris’s people in the audience to say something at a critical moment to make the incident more controversial. It's fine-these upper-level battles have nothing to do with the melon-eating wizards after all. As long as they can see the benefits they can get from these measures, they will naturally not be troublesome.
Then, Owen took the opportunity to announce the casualties and specific rescue measures caused by the devil's attack on Hogsmeade to the media present. As soon as his voice fell, reporters raised their hands for a rare opportunity to ask questions.
"Minister Harris, does this attack prove that the Ministry of Magic still has omissions in maintaining security? What measures will the Ministry of Magic take in the future?"
"Has the Ministry of Magic investigated the mastermind behind the scenes? Can it be announced to the wizards?"
"Does the Ministry of Magic have not heard anything about the devil's attack? This should be a major information omission. How does the Ministry of Magic make up for its own fault? Is this the rumor that Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, was excluded and not Is it related to getting enough command?"
"Guaranteeing and maintaining the safety of the magical world is the first responsibility of the Ministry of Magic and relevant functional departments. The Ministry of Magic cannot attribute the cause to the strength and cunning of the other party. Is the government suspected of evading responsibility and prevarication by such a notification? What does Secretary Harris think?"
...
The cameramen pointed their lenses at Irving, and the flashes of the old cameras continued to explode and smoke, and they did not let the slightest change in expression on each other's faces.
Regarding these sharp questions, Owen Harris remained calm and his voice calmly said: "Thank you for your question. Regarding the behind-the-scenes ambassador, who is still under investigation, but according to the on-site monitoring Riber's own confession and presence The testimony of passers-by... I regret that, according to the information currently available, although the specifics are still being investigated and confirmed, it is indeed some of our own pure-blood families in the British magical world who are behind the scenes and have connections with demons and even mysterious people. , Participated in this attack... I think this is a serious betrayal. Our Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate this matter. We will not wrong any innocent person, and of course we will not spare any participants in the attack."
As well-informed pure-blood families, they were very angry when they heard that Owen Harris knew that the devil’s attack was caused by mysterious people and Death Eaters, but they used the devil’s words to spill the sewage on their heads. They really want to take the Harris family down, but this matter really has nothing to do with them. In fact, if it is not for the return of the mysterious man, if it is not for the return of the mysterious man, they are more afraid of this crazier dark lord, if it is not for Dumbledore and They have been fighting more openly for many years and his old age made these purebloods think that the current situation requires Alan's existence, they would have launched a stronger counterattack, instead of expecting to compromise with each other as they are now.
"Slander! This is slander!" A young wizard waved his arms angrily: "Minister Harris, you and I know that the true pure-blood family simply disdains to do such a thing! What's more, killing two little witches is pure for Britain. There is no benefit to the blood? Does the Ministry of Magic have no ability to find out the truth?"
"Sorry, this gentleman, I just told the truth about the situation we investigated. In fact, I am also very sorry about this. You must know that my family, my wife's family is also a member of the British pure blood. This kind of thing is deeply sad...As a father, I am also very angry. I think the people behind this devil want my son to be stimulated and degenerate... If they succeed..." Owen looked very sad, and felt Feeling aggrieved, he turned his head and beckoned to the audience.
The reason why the Ministry of Magic has not released this video before is because we have not yet been able to determine the specific description of the devil. However, we did not expect that many family media responded faster than the prophecy. "Home Daily" even faster..."
Soon, the surveillance footage of Bayer's words at the time was released on the TV at the temporary press conference: "...you know that your pure-blood families from the UK have provided me with something that I can't refuse. Tribute..."
?? Hearing what Bayer said, seeing the situation at the time, thinking that although the devil’s words are not credible, but they never tell lies, coupled with the recent interest of the pure-blood family and the Harris family, and The performance of these pure-blood families, so even if they know that the demons deliberately instigate it is their nature, but many people already believe that this attack may really have nothing to do with them.
"Minister Harris, would you rather believe what a devil said? You don't want to believe our families that have been rooted in the UK for many years?" The young wizard roared loudly. He heard whispering whispers around him and saw some people. A look of suspicion ~EbookFREE.me~The veins on the forehead are exposed.
Under his leadership, many troublemakers have echoed, clamoring that the Ministry of Magic is incompetent, preferring to believe in the one-sided words of the devil-but compared with the mixed-race and Muggle populations, their numbers are not large enough, and these words did not destroy them. The controversy brought about by the video just now brought the scene into chaos for a while.
"Excuse me, Secretary Harris, if there is such an opponent that the Aurors can't solve quickly, what should we do as ordinary wizards?" A reporter with a gray face and a beard supported a pen with his hand. Glasses, veteranly changed the topic of the argument, and pointed the target directly at the weakness of the Ministry of Magic in the incident. "As far as I know, even the Aurors were unable to contact the headquarters during this attack. As ordinary people, if we encounter this situation, who should we expect to help us? I think even with the selfless dedication of the Harris family, this will not solve the problem of the Ministry of Magic in the Hogsmeade attack. I can’t allow Mr. Allen Harris to participate in patrols everywhere, please forgive me for being rude... I don’t think he can solve this problem even if he participates in patrols."
This reporter is Dempster Wiggswald, who originally worked in the Magic Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, and also served as a consulting columnist for the "Daily Prophet", answering questions related to the law. After the duel, Harris officially went to the stage and lost his original position. It was not until the recent struggle between pure blood and Harris that he was allowed to use his expertise by those who accepted him.
"Wiggswald, you raised this question very well, and the next thing to be announced is related to this. Next, my heir, Alan Harris, will announce that this is his decision." Pointed to his little son imaginarily.
