Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1580 A war without a winner (30)

"It seems that Albert really doesn't like politicians!"

After listening to Percy's detailed report, Kingsley did not feel angry because of being rejected by Albert. Instead, he felt that he was starting to become the annoying person he used to be.

This was not the first time he had dealt with Albert. Naturally, he knew very well that the man did not have a good impression of the Ministry of Magic or even most of the employees of the Ministry of Magic. It was not difficult to tell from the fact that the other party reluctantly agreed to serve as a nominal senior adviser to support him. this point.

"Now how to do?"

Percy carefully observed the expression on Kingsley's face, and after making sure that Mr. Minister was not angry about this matter, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Percy didn't want to see Kingsley have any unpleasant conflicts with Albert. It would not only make the situation very bad, but also put him in an embarrassing situation.

"Don't push those guys too hard. Find an opportunity to quietly open a gap and let those foreign dark wizards get out of the UK. There is no need to waste extra time and energy on them."

Kingsley is very aware of the current situation of the Ministry of Magic and is not interested in encircling Voldemort's remnants at all. After all, guys who can become dark wizards are not easy to mess with. Even if they were able to suppress them and fight before, it was all thanks to Albert. Even Kingsley had to admit that this was because he desperately wanted to win over them. Albert's main reason.

It was so worry-free. With Albert helping to share the pressure, I could clean up the current mess faster and more easily.

It's a pity that I was still severely rejected.

Although he had expected this, it still made Kingsley a little disappointed.

"I'm afraid those dark wizards won't appreciate it." Percy reminded in a low voice, "Besides, this kind of thing must be done secretly enough, otherwise it will easily cause trouble."

Although the people from the International Confederation of Wizards slapped their butts and went away after building up their reputation, in today's British wizarding world, there are by no means a few victims who hate dark wizards. Once they know The temporary minister he elected actually planned to compromise with the dark wizard who had harmed him. God knows what terrible things would happen.

Being kicked out directly is the inevitable result.

But no one will care about your good intentions. They will only think that you have betrayed them, and such betrayal is sometimes unforgivable.

If it were Kingsley who had not yet taken on the important task of being the "Minister of Magic", he would probably have similar thoughts.

But after serving as the interim Minister of Magic, he needed to find ways to turn the tide, and his way of thinking also quietly changed.

Being the Minister of Magic is not that easy, and many things are not as easy as he thought. If you want to do certain things well, you must compromise and make concessions in many places.

And Albert has seen all this clearly, so he will not hesitate to put forward conditions to himself to avoid becoming the one who needs to compromise.

As for the so-called favor, Kingsley would not be stupid enough to think that it was a step left by Albert for himself.

That thing is essentially a transaction, a more straightforward transaction, just like Albert holds the title of senior consultant here.

Therefore, Kingsley will not consider this matter. He would rather let the Ministry of Magic give Albert a high bonus as a reward for helping the Ministry of Magic solve the problem, rather than let himself owe a debt that is difficult to pay off. favor.

That's not worth it, because favors have to be repaid, and those that are difficult to repay should just stay away from them.

"There is no need to be anxious. At present, stability should be the priority."

"As for other people's demands, just ignore them for the time being. After all, we have just taken over this hot thing. We need to spend time sorting out the Ministry of Magic. No one can complain about it." Kingsley made a decision directly, but he also It is clear that it will still take a lot of effort to implement it.

"Remember to let the Daily Prophet reveal some news to divert everyone's attention." He ordered again. This is undoubtedly the best solution at present.

As for the numerous problems that still exist, they can only be solved slowly over time.

Kingsley believed that even if Dumbledore was reborn, there would probably be no good solution, unless he took the ruthless move that Albert had used at Hogwarts to cut through the mess quickly, but Kingsley didn't want to do that because it would make things worse. He will take countless scapegoats and make things more confusing. He is really not that noble.

So take your time.

"How about Umbridge? That guy is really bad. I suggest you use her as a target and let reporters conduct an exclusive interview with her. It will definitely divert everyone's attention." Percy has served as an assistant to the minister for several terms. He is still very capable and thinks of solutions immediately.

"Then let's do this. If that doesn't work, pull Umbridge out for trial." Kingsley did not deal with the locked up dark wizards for the time being, because he wanted to keep them as targets and instead become temporary Before becoming a minister, he would never have had similar thoughts.

It can only be said that the position and angle of standing are different, and even the views and practices have become different.

He suddenly understood why Dumbledore refused to serve as Minister of Magic many times during his lifetime, and also understood that Albert would hate politicians so much.

The behavior of many politicians is indeed unflattering. It would be hard to imagine myself becoming what I am now if I were my old self.

Unfortunately, I have no choice now.

Kingsley is not arrogant, he is the only one suitable for this position at present, and only he can barely ensure that the fruits of victory that everyone strives for are not stolen by others.

He had had enough and wanted to take this rare opportunity to bring about some new changes in the lifeless Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, there will be no chance after the situation stabilizes.

Well, even if Kingsley gave himself a bunch of excuses, he couldn't refute his unwillingness to let go.

But even Albert has admitted it and actively pushed him to sit in this position.

In this regard, Kingsley's mood was extremely complicated, which was very similar to when Fudge faced Dumbledore.

He is obviously so powerful. As long as he is willing to help a little, a lot of troubles will be solved. As long as he is willing, one person can stand up to the Aurors of the entire Ministry of Magic. At least Albert has that kind of power. When dealing with This is especially true when it comes to the Inferi.

This was definitely the simplest and most efficient solution, and there was no need to worry about subsequent problems. However, the other party decisively refused, and he had no other solution. This made him feel quite helpless, and this helplessness was likely to eventually Evolved into irritation, just like Fudge once was.

Unlike Fudge, Kingsley is still rational and has not been completely overwhelmed by power and desire to make Albert uncomfortable.
