Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1579 A war without a winner (twenty-nine)

All I can say is that this kind of thing is normal.

People are like this, and there is no point in getting too entangled in these things.

Shanna suddenly mentioned this matter because she wanted to find someone to complain about "work".

Albert was a good listener. After Shanna finished complaining, he brought the topic back, "Is there anything else that deserves special attention?"

"Others seem to have heard about things here and hope to settle here." Shanna took out a notebook from the seamless stretch bag, turned to a certain page and handed it to Albert. On it was a list of names. .

"Arrange apartments for them. They didn't come to help build the village anyway." Albert had already guessed that this would happen, and he wasn't too surprised by it.

"I'll tell Joseph about this later and ask him to add a few more apartments." Shanna also guessed that Albert would do that, and she had expected it as early as when he said he was going to build apartments.

After all, direct rejection would not have a good impact. After all, they all played their part in defeating the mysterious man.

As for treating them differently, isn’t that normal?

"How's it going at the Ministry of Magic?"

Albert has been paying attention to changes in the British wizarding world.

"Many foreign dark wizards have fled the UK." Shanna quickly recalled the recent news in newspapers: "However, those are all news from the Daily Prophet. You know, the accuracy of the Daily Prophet is not Gao, it's more like the Ministry of Magic is trying to reassure people. On the contrary, Percy Weasley has often asked me about you recently. Mr. Minister seems to have something to ask you, but they didn't reveal much information to me. They just left a message saying Let them know when you come back."

"It seems something happened."

From Albert's point of view, it would be surprising if nothing happened to the Ministry of Magic.

"Although I haven't contacted Mr. Percy yet, I estimate that he is probably on the way." Zanna said suddenly, "I suspect that Joseph Croix is ​​also the minister's spy, although he may not have much malicious intent. "

"No need to doubt it, Percy is already here."

Albert suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction, where a familiar figure was trotting towards this direction.

"it is as expected."

"After all, it was Kingsley who asked for help. He can also come in handy when Cedric is away." Albert asked with a smile, "What would be the first thing you said to Percy?"

"You're finally back." Shanna said without hesitation, "I guess Mr. Minister is looking for you in a hurry. He probably wants your help with something."

"problem occurs!"

Percy panted and stopped in front of Albert and said, "There are Death Eaters threatening the Ministry of Magic, saying that they will release all the Inferi and let those dark creatures attack Muggles indiscriminately."

"Oh, it seems that the Ministry of Magic is in a hurry!" Albert nodded to show that he understood.

"Can't you give me more feedback?" Percy was very depressed: "The minister hopes to get something from you..."

"I'm not a wishing machine." Albert interrupted directly, "Wasn't this something he had expected?"

"Although the Ministry of Magic has been prepared for a long time, the newly joined Aurors have not yet completed their training. Now they need someone to help them to prevent the situation from deteriorating."

"Since they signed up to be an Auror, they must have been mentally prepared for it. Moreover, they will have to face the enemy sooner or later. It is not good to stay in the ivory tower all the time." Albert guessed Kingsley's plan. I want to prostitute myself for free!

Sure enough, after he became the Minister of Magic, his way of thinking quickly changed.

However, if he wanted to quietly use moral kidnapping to push himself to help solve the problem, he still couldn't hide it from Albert's eyes.

If it were before defeating the mysterious man, Albert would naturally not hesitate to give him a hand, but let it go now.

If this kind of thing sets a precedent, otherwise the troubles will continue, because humans are such creatures, greedy and not satisfied.

"Mr. Minister, I hope you can go over and help watch to avoid too many accidents." Percy was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice. Fortunately, he had made many backup plans before coming and had some friendship with Albert, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing. .

"Okay, as long as the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay an extra salary. After all, I am not an Auror. The senior advisor is just to help with some ideas, but it is not enough for me to roll up my sleeves and do it myself."

Albert's words were not tactful at all, and he never intended to be tactful. "Of course, if the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to pay the money, it can be considered as a personal favor that he owes me."

Favors must be repaid, and it also depends on whom the favor is owed.

Percy had expected it, but he still said bravely, "I'll definitely satisfy you."

Looking at Percy hurriedly leaving, Zannah asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"I'm just giving Kingsley a heads up." Albert looked in a certain direction and said to himself as if explaining to others, "Of course I wouldn't have done it before, but Kingsley is a politician now. Any politician deserves to be wary, and it is enough to talk about interests when dealing with them.”

"What an incisive answer."

Joseph, who was leading Percy, suddenly appeared in the sight of the two of them, and shrugged at Albert, "However, you are right, politicians are indeed something to be wary of."

"You guy..."

Zannah looked at Joseph Croix with a careful look. He suspected that this guy was also from the Ministry of Magic, and might even be an Auror.

"Don't look at me like that." The middle-aged wizard explained, "Kingsley helped me a little some time ago, so I agreed to come here to help him."

"This should be considered a pretty good job," Albert suddenly said.

"Yes, the only drawback is that the salary is too low." Joseph couldn't help but complain, "Helping to rebuild Hogsmeade Village can earn more than coming here."

"The Ministry of Magic plans to rebuild Hogsmeade Village?"

Sanna was very surprised. She had been to the ruins of Hogsmeade, which was even more miserable than this place. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being razed to the ground.

"Yes, that village has its value, and..."

"I said, can you stop standing here and chatting, come and help if you have time." A guy who just passed by couldn't help but complain to the three people who were chatting together.

"Ahem, I'll be there soon." Joseph smiled and walked away.

"The Ministry of Magic wants to use your power to solve the problem of the Inferi once and for all?" After the troublemaker left, Shanna asked in a low voice.

"They probably have this idea. Instead of letting an unknown number of Inferi become a time bomb, it is better to find a suitable opportunity to detonate it."

Anyway, if it were Albert himself, he would definitely try to do that.

It's a pity that Albert is not interested in becoming a worker. At least in his opinion, the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to pay the right price.
