After the dinner, the lobby on the first floor of the tower.
"The handover of the position has been successfully completed. Our control over the Ministry of Magic exceeds that of any previous minister in the thirty-second term. However, Cornelius Fudge has always been more cooperative. What do you think is a more appropriate arrangement for him?" After taking a sip of wine, Mr. Owen Harris looked at everyone with a pleasant look.
Lunn tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "As a former minister, although he made serious mistakes regarding the mysterious man incident, he fully cooperated in subsequent actions. We appeased his subordinates and asked him to do what he did. It would be too ugly for us to step down naked after all this. How about giving him a lawsuit? At least we can let others know that our Harris family is not a family that burns bridges."
"Just let Connelly be a deputy minister." Owen Harris narrowed his eyes and said to his second son, "The actual authority of the director is greater, and it doesn't sound as good as the deputy minister. Anyway, Connelly is older. I will retire in just a few years, so just let him stay with me. I think he will be satisfied with this position, and it will be useful to the outside world, at least to ordinary wizards who don’t know the secrets of the Ministry of Magic. It would make us appear less threatening."
Lunn nodded, held the quill, and quickly wrote some new drafts of personnel arrangements on the parchment.
While Len was busy writing, Mr. Owen Harris became concerned about his youngest son's personal follow-up arrangements: "Alan, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to continue to teach at Hogwarts? Continue to teach at Hogwarts." Studying in Gwarts doesn't mean much to you anymore, right? Why don't you just come to the Ministry of Magic directly? Take a long leave from Hogwarts and then directly take the n.e.w.t exam? Raven...Luna, you and Does Hermione want this?"
"That's right. Alan, you can be the director of the Auror Office. If you drive away Voldemort, you can go to the Auror Office. I think there is no reason why that annoying Scrimgeour can't stay in his position." Penny Luo's eyes lit up, and he used his quick wit as a student of Ravenclaw College to express the suggestion full of selfish desires in a high-sounding way.
"Sorry Penelope, father. But I have to go back to Hogwarts. I promised Helga and, well, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, to bring the school back to normal. I will carry out a teaching reform at Hogwarts. And directly entering politics in the Ministry of Magic will not be of much help to us Harris, we already control the Ministry of Magic." Alan put the teacup in his hand on the table He put his arms on the armrests of the chair and crossed his hands on his chest, "And college life is an indispensable and precious part of our wizards' lives. I think there are a lot of wizards who are willing to spend a lot of money to return to Hogwarts." When I was a student, I boarded that little train at the beginning of school and headed for this dream country."
Hermione was a little worried when she heard Owen's proposal just now. Although she also thought that she wouldn't learn anything in school, as she got higher grades and took control of the training class, she had already learned a lot from the situation in the lower grades. She actually doesn't want to end her school career just like this without many friends. She prefers to follow the steps she has planned before rather than suddenly changing her plans due to sudden changes. She also plans to complete her studies as usual at Hogwarts first. .
"But this may cause conflict with Dumbledore in advance." Lun, who was writing, raised his head and said with some worry: "Dumbledore has contacted us in the past few days and tried to talk to you or father, but at that time father was busy with the Ministry of Magic. Hand over, Alan, you were staying in the detection room every day, so my father pushed the conversation to a later date, and the issue Dumbledore wanted to talk to you about seemed to be related to teaching issues as the headmaster."
"Ellen's previous courses were set up with the permission of the Ministry of Magic and the consent of the school directors. Even though Dumbledore has resumed his status as principal, he cannot directly cancel this course." Owen patted Lun on the shoulder to comfort him. He turned to Allen and said: "I haven't seen him before except because of the Ministry of Magic matters and because I don't know what you mean. However, given our current attitude towards other local families, if they contact Dumbledore If we resort to legal means by relying on the shares of the school directors and the power of the principal, even if Lunn controls the Magical Law Enforcement Department, it will be delayed for most of half a semester at most. Alan, what do you think?"
"Don't worry, Father, Len. I told you before, before Godric Gryffindor transferred his authority as founder to me, if Headmaster Dumbledore really tries to insist on his own If he believes that the correct education method is used to control Hogwarts, the worst case scenario is that I will directly remove his authority. The law and the so-called shares of the school directors cannot help Dumbledore. This makes Hogwarts fundamentally repulsive and even hostile. He, if those school directors are ignorant, their descendants will have no choice but to go to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France..." Allen didn't care too much about this news. He had a conversation with Dumbledore before he fell through the curtain. , the other party proposed this conversation, and Allen had no intention of compromising at that time, let alone now.
Albert, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but wanted to say something because he was worried about his brother. Then his fiancée Fleur pulled him to stop talking, but Albert just shook Fleur's hand, shook his head and comforted her softly. He said: "Don't worry, dear, our family doesn't have as many rules as other families. Don't you still understand after being here for so long?" After saying that, Albert turned to face his youngest brother: "Alan , but if your conflict with Dumbledore escalates... you know, after all, he is the greatest white wizard in the world. He once defeated Mr. Grindelwald in a duel, and he also protected Harry during the Goblet of Fire in the fourth grade. While facing the mysterious man and his men alone..."
"Albert is right, Alan, we'd better not take such risks, otherwise mother will have to worry about you..." Daisy turned her head and glanced at the kitchen after hearing this, making sure that her mother inside did not hear their conversation. , she continued: "Tonks told me that Moody was preaching in the bar recently that you did not drive Voldemort away alone during the Ministry of Magic war, although Dumbledore later asked other Order members to They all saw that he did not allow him to talk nonsense, and people were panicking, but it is estimated that some Aurors from other families and those Death Eaters who hide their faces behind the scenes are also spreading... and Luna's true identity is also being spread. I mentioned it, many people heard Hermione's conversation with her in the arch, but now there are too many rumors, and basically everyone thinks it is nonsense when they hear the news..."
Hermione felt that the relationship between Harris and Dumbledore should not have turned so hostile all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but worry about Allen because of what Albert and Daisy said: "Alan, the teaching at Hogwarts is bad. Question, but don’t we have legitimate reasons? We can first try to convince Dumbledore that he should bear responsibility for this matter, but we don’t need to be so drastic... You should also stop taking risks yourself, we can find more A safer way…”
"You are still so naive, Dumbledore obviously can't listen." Penello, who knew that this was not just a conflict of educational concepts, obviously sneered at Hermione, "If he doesn't do it, we won't be able to do anything. If it's true, If we contact the school director, the law will be on Dumbledore's side, but if we take action... we will make Dumbledore a criminal again. Do we need to deal with a criminal one-on-one?"
Allen waited quietly for everyone to finish speaking. He took another sip of black tea, then waved his hands and said to his family with a relaxed look: "I don't think you can understand how much I have grown up in ancient times when I tell you. To put it simply, neither Voldemort nor Dumbledore is my opponent. In fact, even without me, Luna can do this kind of thing."
"What?! Alan, are you sure...that's Dumbledore..." Xenophilius, who had just joined the tower, had not spoken before. After hearing Alan say that Dumbledore had always supported and trusted him, When Lido was not his opponent, he reflexively wanted to refute and disbelieve, but then he remembered his daughter Luna and her identity, which made him realize that he was on the wrong side of what he just said, and it seemed abnormal to be unable to defeat him. ...
Xenophilius stared at Hermione and Penello with dissatisfaction. He had never expected that Allen would take action against his daughter so quickly, nor would the relationship between them be as bad as it is today. I understand that the change in his identity has also changed his attitude. If his baby daughter hadn't emphasized to him several times and told him not to talk too much about this matter, he would definitely have to find Harris to make a fuss about this matter. Now, Xenophilius plans to have a good talk with his daughter in private and persuade her to change her mind. Even though he now knows that his daughter is much older than him, he has no sense of responsibility as a father. Disappeared, he couldn't let Allen do whatever he wanted according to his daughter's temper.
"If this is the case, Alan, you should return to Hogwarts! But Alan, don't kick Dumbledore out immediately, just let the school directors form an alliance with him!" Owen Harris was silent for a while. After a small meeting, his eyes suddenly shone: "Don't worry, just let go and carry out your reforms... By the way, the Ministry of Magic has won another first-class Merlin Medal for you. Hermione and Penelo are because of your anima." The role that Gus played in the previous war at the Ministry of Magic after his transformation also won you a second-level medal each. In this way, Alan, you and Penello's medals will be issued to you by me in the Ministry of Magic. At that time, Hermione's arrangement will be at Hogwarts, and you, as the professor of Hogwarts, will issue it to Hermione."
"When the Ministry of Magic awards awards, arrange for a few reporters to ask a few questions, and we will also resolve those rumors." Allen nodded and understood what his father meant, and then he turned to Xenophilius: "Since Enough talking, Mr. Lovegood, about the TV station...eh? Mr. Lovegood..."
"Ellen, do you need anything from the TV station? Just tell me and I'll come down and arrange it..." Seeing that the crazy Xenophilius was still lost in his own thoughts, Fleur took the place of this seemingly unreliable Xenophilius. The TV station director responded to Allen.
"Oh, that's it. I think the TV station can show some Muggle movies during prime time these days. The constant broadcast of news and Quidditch content has made the audience lose some of the freshness. We should show some pure entertainment. The program allows the audience to relax in this stressful and tense atmosphere..." Alan pretended to make the suggestion casually, and after taking another sip of tea, he added: "I have taken classes in a Muggle school before. , some things that are called science fiction movies by Muggles are quite interesting, but remember to state before playing them that the content is made up by Muggles, and the special effects are added by Muggles... It should be said that they are illusions created by Muggles. Otherwise, it will easily cause misunderstandings..."
"Okay, no problem. I will write an application to your mother's management department later to ask for permission. This will make it formal. Then I will postpone the broadcast of the Quidditch match video at 8pm so that our TV program can broadcast it. The duration can also be extended..." Although she didn't know why her brother-in-law suddenly became interested in TV programs, this small request was not difficult to fulfill, and Furong immediately agreed.
Seeing that the conversation was officially over, Hermione also joined in the chat: "Speaking of Quidditch, did you know? The new Seeker of the Montrose Magpies is Cedric Diggory, who graduated from Hufflepuff. And McGonagall The professor is an avid supporter of the Montrose Magpies and I heard her asking Cho Chang when he would get a starting spot."
"Tonks is also his supporter, because Cedric is a Hufflepuff graduate. She often boasted about Cedric in front of me during this period, saying that he learned to use Wollongong when the starfish was upside down." "Shape flying..." Daisy herself has also joined the Quidditch team before and has always been interested in the game. However, unlike her best friend Tonks, she is a supporter of the Appleby Arrows.
Emily, who had deliberately not participated in adult conversations before, couldn't help but add: "But Cedric is so handsome..."
Seeing that business was over, Owen asked Lunn to write down the matter on a notepad, and then looked at Luna apologetically: "I'm sorry, Luna, Xenophilius, because I didn't know what you meant before, I didn't I asked Fleur to play your part, but I couldn't win a medal for you... I wonder, Luna, if you have any other requests? In fact, if you're not in a hurry, I can give it to you after a while. If you run another one, you know, Cornelius Fudge has used means to force himself to receive a first-class Merlin Medal..."
"Oh, don't worry I won't need this." Luna turned her head and looked at Owen who was asking her, and then suddenly said: "Let Allen and I go part-time in the Department of Mysteries and become silent people."
