The armed Aura was shocked by his words for a moment, but they continued to act according to the previous orders. They just began to send people back to the department to report the situation.
However, the other ordinary wizards were much more flustered. They couldn't imagine what would happen if there were no patrolling Aura on the streets.
Especially those immigrants who had already experienced the ordeal, they kept quiet and no longer cheered for the armed Aura's capture. The silent atmosphere was depressing. The local Ministry of Magic in their hometown couldn't control the social order, which gave the Death Eaters an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, causing them to suffer so much. The reason they moved to England was because of his safety.

Alji Longbottom raised the camera in his hand, especially the bleeding witch. He zoomed in and took a lot of close-ups. "Are you crazy? What's the use of this kind of public opinion to Harris? They even killed people … "Hector was frightened. He looked outside vigilantly, afraid of being discovered by the Aura." Other than angering them, what else can it bring? "
"Scrimgeour did a good job. This will attract Harris' attention." Alji Longbottom gently patted the camera in his hand. "Of course, I'm not going to let the media publish this. This is for Dumbledore to see. I'll tell him all these things and let him come forward to persuade Harris to stop. I think it's not a big problem …"
"Longbottom, don't be stupid! Even if Dumbledore is willing, he may not be able to solve the problem. Harris didn't care too much about his reputation. " Foley's hands were clenched tightly under the sleeves of his magic robe. "It's best not to use force. We should … Sirius … Yes! We should contact Sirius. He has a special relationship with Harris. Although he has a bad temper and is very resistant to the idea of pure blood, it's easier to persuade him … Don't forget our original intention. We just have to make sure that Harris doesn't want to catch all of us in one fell swoop! "
"I still have to say that maybe Owen will have this idea, but I don't think Allen Harris will agree with his father." Amelia shook her head and emphasized. "The problem this time is that those people have gone overboard. First, they supported the Unknowns and the Death Eaters, and then they targeted Malfoy and Owen. It's normal for Harris to react this way... it's just that he lost control of his methods. If it's us, Harris wouldn't care, but we're not a family like Bork who does dirty work." "So, as long as we don't commit any crimes, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. Now, we just hope to find a way to calm Harris down and restore peace to the magic world."
Alji did not say anything and only nodded with difficulty.
"And self-preservation..." Fri reminded him weakly. "Scrimgeour may aggravate Harris's anger... Perhaps we should take the initiative to express our goodwill to the Ministry of Magic? Let our people temporarily help maintain law and order? "
"Instead of us sending people to maintain law and order, why don't we take the lead and ask Harris to let the people from Umbrella help? Giving them a reason is much more effective than sending people yourself." Amelia Burns adjusted her monocle with her hand. "I don't agree with Scrimgeour's approach. This will cause more harm to innocent people. He did wrong this time out of anger, but he deserves more consideration... So many patrolling Aura are willing to follow him in protest. It's enough to prove his character. We should try our best to protect him."
At the desk of the Minister of Ministry of Magic, Owen leaned against the leather swivel chair with his hand on his forehead. Lunn sat across from him with a list of names in her hand.
"Father, Mafalda Hopkirk from the Office of Prohibition of Abuse of Magic has officially submitted her resignation. I have approved it." Lunn pulled out the staff information sheet that belonged to the witch from the roster and put it on the table in front of Owen. "According to your previous instructions, in order not to let the staff think that we were going to arrest her internally, and to avoid causing unrest in the department, which would have a negative impact, we gave her a chance and allowed her to resign on her own. We didn't arrest her."
"She's just an ordinary assistant, mainly in charge of paperwork... She has no value." Owen picked it up and glanced at it. Then he threw it back on the desk with disinterest. "What about Luncowan, who has the same name as Albert?"
"Father, the warning letter and the letter of arrest from the Ministry of Magic were issued by Hopkirk. She leaked part of the list prepared by the outside department and was caught by the armed Aura as evidence..." Lunn tapped on the portrait of the little witch with gray hair. "As for that Albert Luncowan... Father, you know that he's usually domineering and fierce. Many people in the department are afraid of him... Of course, we're not afraid of him, but he hasn't accepted it yet. I'll continue to put pressure on him."
"Once we get something on them this time, we must not allow them to continue to stay in the Ministry of Magic. If they don't want to resign, give them a warning. If they still don't want to …" Owen stood up and said in a cold and serious voice. He clenched his hands. "Don't worry, arrest them directly. After this, it won't be so justifiable anymore."
"Yes, father. We've been gentle enough to them. If they don't seize the opportunity, they can only blame themselves." Lunn immediately straightened his body and flipped through the list in his hand and handed it to his father. "Father, these are the names of the new batch of pure-blooded and Death Eaters that were related to the Death Eaters … Do you want to continue capturing them? Our recent actions have not been welcomed by the native British sorcerers … "
"Of course, we should continue to arrest them! After we clean up our reputation, we can do some shows and we can get it back. The interrogation results are out. Who did the bombing? " Owen casually flipped through the list and then put it aside. He gritted his teeth and asked, "The interrogation results are out, but who did the bombing? Why haven't I seen it yet? Which family wants to assassinate me? "
"No one admitted it. The truth-telling serum is useless... Even the soul and mind master in the department did not get any useful information from them." Lunn saw her father's angry expression and quickly said, "But we found out who sent the potted plant to assassinate Malfoy. This was done by the Bostel family. I guess the bombing was a private action of a pure-blooded because many of the pure-bloods who were interrogated were very angry about it. They felt that the bombing triggered our mass arrests and therefore harmed them. "
"Focus on the bombing first. The evidence of collusion with the Death Eaters is conclusive." Owen frowned and emphasized. This attack on him made him very angry. If he was injured, it would be better. But in the end, although he was not injured, he was infected with a strange smell. For this reason, Morgan-le-Feil made him unable to go home to sleep for several days. When he took the time to go home to take a shower or get a change of clothes, he was despised by his daughters.
"In fact, father, many of the pure-bloods thought..." Lunn paused and continued, "Borkin Bork had an emotional breakdown during the interrogation. He even believed that it was our Harris who did it. For this reason, he ridiculed us and said that we deliberately created chaos just to trigger the arrest and suppress dissidents."
"Continue the interrogation!" Owen casually slammed a thick journal with a human face on the spine of the book on the table in front of him. The human face let out a painful groan. "Do I still need to smear feces on myself for such a purpose?!!!"
"Cough..." Lunn quickly lowered his head to hide his expression that was amused by his father. He forced himself to suppress the laughter in his heart. He raised his head and adjusted his glasses. His cheeks were a little red because he was trying to hold back his laughter. "Father, the person who did this either hid too well and was not caught by us, or he practiced the truth-telling serum when he had nothing to do to train his resistance. At the same time, he must also be a wizard who is good at brain sealing magic... Father, why don't you let Allen come over and make a prophecy? That way, he won't be able to hide his tracks anymore." Lunn seemed to be in a difficult position. "Actually, this attack is a little strange and too amateurish. I think there is a market for this kind of rumor..."
"No need. Don't bother Allen. This will delay him and make Mr. Lovgood complain! This kid is already out of control. We can't control him anymore. He should be taught a lesson. " Thinking of the situation that his youngest son might face, Owen suddenly felt that it was better to be magnanimous. He said, "Actually, it's not that important who did it... I'm just angry..."
Then, there were a lot of messy footsteps and some shouting outside. Owen was a little annoyed. "When did the Ministry of Magic become as noisy as a market? Where are their manners?"
