Scrimgeour was stunned by the question. Before, he was angry and simply objected to Harris' atrocities, but he didn't think deeply about his own goals and demands.
"The Ministry of Magic shouldn't … And Harris … Hmm …" Scrimgeour's thick eyebrows twisted, unwilling to give up. Then he realized that it was impossible to expel Harris from the Ministry of Magic. "All actions should abide by the law. Using excessive violence to achieve one's goal is illegal. No matter what the goal is, Harris' power should not be above the law."
"Mr. Scrimgeour, I understand that you are unwilling to accept this." Allen straightened his face. "Harris's hatred for Black Wizards and Death Eaters is no less than yours. Maybe you don't agree with our methods, but we are also attacking these bad guys who are spreading terror everywhere."
"I don't see much difference between Harris's methods and those of Black Wizards," Scrimgeour stubbornly said. Scrimgeour shouted stubbornly. "And you're not just attacking the dark sorcerers. Am I a dark sorcerer?"
Fri's finger kept rubbing the gem ring on his finger. This Scrimgeour was going all out. Did he want to completely offend Harris? He actually dared to accuse Harris and the others of being Black Wizards. This was too reckless. Algie Longbottom didn't expect Scrimgeour to be so direct. This kind of behavior was close to "Warriors" in his eyes. Longbottom felt that it might be difficult to achieve the purpose of gathering today. Scrimgeour had further offended Harris.
"Being loud doesn't mean it's reasonable." Hermione immediately said. "Mr. Scrimgeour, you instigated a strike. This is not in accordance with the Ministry of Magic's laws."
Scrimgeour ignored Hermione and just looked at Allen.
Allen raised the corner of his mouth, raised his glass to Scrimgeour, and then drank the rest of the honey wine in the glass in one gulp.
Scrimgeour shook his head, unwilling to admit defeat. "That's also because you took the initiative to make me a mere figurehead and didn't pay attention to the ordinary Aura. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people following me."
"Mr. Scrimgeour, I have a few questions that I would like you to answer." Allen looked serious as if he really had a question to ask. "Although the questions are very similar, I think it's best to ask them one by one."
Scrimgeour looked at Allen with a cold and scrutinizing gaze. He was considering whether it was worth it to shed all pretenses of cordiality and spill out the words in his heart. He shrugged and cleared his throat. "Principal Harris, please speak..."
He spat out every syllable clearly and firmly. "Are those Death Eaters considered Black Wizards?"
"Of course." Scrimgeour did not hesitate, but he raised his guard. "This should be the consensus of the world of magic."
"Is Tom Liddell considered a dark Magus?" Allen's tone was still calm, and there was even a slight smile on his face.
Scrimgeour pursed his lips and nodded, then he said sarcastically, "I think there are only two Black Wizards in the world who are comparable to him that are still alive."
Scrimgeour's words aroused the anger and fear of many people present. Bowens looked at Dumbledore worriedly, glad that Dumbledore was not angry at Scrimgeour's mention of the first The Dark Lord.
Allen, who was holding Hermione, fixed his eyes on Scrimgeour. "Very well, in that case, are those families who have connections with the Death Eaters and used funds and resources to support their terrorist activities considered Black Wizards?"
"I don't think they are not Black Wizards. It's just that the Ministry of Magic's methods of arresting these suspects are too violent." Scrimgeour felt that he understood where Harris was going to attack him. He retorted forcefully, "If they use this on ordinary people..."
"Mr. Scrimgeour, what you said is also an 'if'. When can speculation be used as evidence? This is just your personal opinion... "Allen leaned back in his chair and interrupted Scrimgeour with a relaxed expression." Just like when you opposed the Ministry of Magic entering Gringotte to search for Lord Voldemort's soul vessel, you were worried that these sprites would rebel like before. But you see, even if we, Harris, established the Wizards' own bank, they didn't do anything that was actually a threat, so in fact, they didn't have the guts to rebel. Next, Harris will further squeeze Gringotte's living space, forcing them to agree to the Ministry of Magic entering to retrieve the soul vessel... I know, you have privately tried to contact the sprites to do this, but I think my method is more useful, right? Now the sprites in other countries are starting to fear, fearing that the Ministry of Magic in other countries will follow our example... "
"In order to achieve their goals, they use illegal means to solve the problem, ignoring the legal system set by the Ministry of Magic? Today, the Ministry of Magic can deal with the Dark Wizards by any means necessary, so in the future, they may also cross the line to deal with wizards who don't agree with the authorities. " Scrimgeour scratched his unshaven cheek and said with some irritation, "In fact, among so many arrested people, there are many whose actual crimes are not at the level of being investigated and detained, but they were arrested with such violence."
"I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings about the law and Harris' style of work?" Allen shrugged.
Allen's understatement angered Scrimgeour. He shouted as if he was going to throw caution to the wind, "Am I wrong? That Penello Crivart, I've seen her work style with my own eyes. Her enjoyment of blood is completely worthy of her reputation as a demoness. Headmaster Harris, who can guarantee that she won't abuse violence to satisfy her own selfish desires? I don't believe it anyway! If you ask me, if she wasn't a 'green woman on the right' of your left vertical heart, 'she would've been in Azkaban long ago! "
"Rufus!"
"Scrimgeour!"
Dumbledore raised his voice and was interrupted by Allen, who noticed that his face had turned ugly when he heard the words' green woman on the right 'of his left vertical heart.' Everyone present was shocked, thinking that the stubborn donkey Scrimgeour had completely angered the headmaster of Hogwarts.
"Scrimgeour! I asked you about Harris' style because as the director of Aura's office, it seems like you don't know anything about the law! " Allen also raised his voice. He was finally annoyed, "You've been accusing us of breaking the law, then what law did we break? Is it because we fought back when we were being arrested? You have to be clear about one thing, none of our actions are 'illegal.' Maybe you think it's unnecessary, but it's all in line with the law. You can say that we overthrew you, but overthrowing you is in line with the law because your superior is also the Law Enforcement Division. This is not illegal … And I don't think there's anything wrong with this kind of exclusion, because this is excluding a person who keeps saying that he wants to fight against the Dark Wizards, but he doesn't actually do anything. He's even the director of Aura's office who's under the protection of the Dark Wizards! "
Scrimgeour did not flinch in the face of the angry Allen. He immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I become the protection of the Dark Wizards? Is it because I'm stopping you from using violence against fairies and purebloods? "
"Do you think those who are stopping you are not? That's simple. Let me ask you a few more questions … to help you clarify your relationship. Let us see what you've been doing since the first war! "
