"When I first went to study in Hogwarts, which was my first year, because of the Sorcerer's Stone incident, I fought against the soul of a mysterious person. Although it may not be known by everyone, Principal Dumbledore can testify for me. I want to ask, that was around 91-92. During that time, as the director of Aura's Office, what did you do in this regard?"
Scrimgeour was a little startled and did not speak, but Allen did not stop. He raised his fist as if he was not good at math and extended two fingers.
"When I was in my second year, during the secret room incident, I used the Basilisk's teeth to get rid of Tom's Soul Artifact Diary. As the director of Aura's Office, what did you do that year?"
"When I was in my third year, I personally caught the Death Eater Peter Pettigrew and collected enough evidence to prove Sirius Blake's innocence. I also exposed the corruption of the Ministry of Magic at that time and made Mr. Crouch pay for his mistakes. So maybe it's just like what you said, this also helped my family fight for power and profit, but this all happened within the limits of the law, didn't it? Also, as the director of Aura's Office, what did you do that year? "
When Allen extended three fingers, like Scrimgeour, except for Dumbledore and Hermione who knew the inside story, everyone present was a little stunned. Although they had heard about it before, now that Allen brought it up, they were surprised to realize what this boy in front of them had done when he was young.
"During the fourth year of the Sorcerer Tournament, Dumbledore and I cooperated to try to eliminate Tom's resurrection state. Although I didn't achieve this goal because I had to save Muggle who was deliberately attacked by the Death Eaters to delay time, in the end, I also personally caught many Death Eaters. As the director of Aura's Office, what did you do that year? Oh, you did do something this year. You cooperated with my father, Owen, in the Goblet of Fire and let the Aura obtain the right to fire that they now have … "
"After that, in the fifth year, Lord Voldemort tried to use illusions and lies to lure Harry Potter to the Ministry of Magic. It was me, Harris and I who took advantage of this in turn. I set up an ambush in my Department of Mysteries and fought with the resurrected Mystery to drive him away … And because of this, I was caught behind the curtain by the Grim Reaper's sneak attack and almost lost my life because of it. Fortunately, I went back to the past and met Royna Ravenclaw. It was also in this year that the Ministry of Magic did a lot of wrong things to monopolize power in Fudge and Umrich. We did seize power, but you can ask yourself, before and after my father took power, was the Ministry of Magic a better time to use lies and deceit, or was it better now?"
"After that, in the sixth year, and theoretically, I should be a seventh year student now, I publicly defeated Lord Voldemort in a duel again and drove him to Europe. After that, I went to look for trouble with Lord Voldemort who was wreaking havoc in Europe many times in private. I returned the wealth that he robbed to the ordinary wizards and rescued the wizard hostages that he kidnapped …"
Allen, who raised his other fist and extended seven fingers, narrated each sentence perfectly. However, it was like a slap to Scrimgeour's face. Veins popped out on Scrimgeour's face and palm. He felt humiliated, but there was no way he could refute. Other than being active during the first war, although he had captured many dark wizards after that, compared to Allen's achievements, there was no doubt that it was insignificant.
The other pure-bloods and Dumbledore could not help but make a comparison in their hearts. They realized that no matter what they were dissatisfied with in the Magic World, it was indeed much better than before.
"Mr. Scrimgeour, I've heard many people say that you're a man of great vigor. After you started working, you devoted most of your energy to dealing with dark wizards. In fact, I used to think of you as an eagle like me, and not a dove like Abusi." Allen nodded slightly at Dumbledore, as if to express his apology. He then looked into Scrimgeour's eyes. "So, for all these years, before my father became the head of the Ministry of Magic, and after he became the head of the Ministry of Magic, I used my own methods to do so many things without actually doing anything illegal. May I ask, what have you done with your own methods? Have you captured any famous dark wizards or fought against the Unknowns? What right do you have to use your delusional 'groundless' conjectures to criticize me, a person who is actually doing things?! "
After recalling Scrimgeour's achievements for so many years, he increasingly felt that it was a mistake to protect Scrimgeour at the expense of the family's interests. Longbottom was also speechless, but in his heart, he could not help but admire this little wizard who had just become an adult. Bowens felt pity for Scrimgeour. This kind of great achievement was not something an ordinary wizard like them could achieve. However, for such a young child to be able to fight against the Dark Lord for so many years, it was enough to prove that Harris had no problem with the major issues. In fact, fighting for power was something that almost every pure-blood family except the Weasley family would do. This was not something that could be easily criticized. Realizing that she had been blinded by the other party's success and pressure, the fair witch's gaze towards Allen softened a little.
"I respect rules and laws very much, and I've always tried to use the law to solve problems. For this reason, I've always been fighting against the Dark Wizards. Although I've never overly publicized my … resume, I've indeed been doing things in this regard, including the greater evil that many of you don't believe in — the God of Death. Yes, you don't know this, but when I last rescued the hostage that Lord Voldemort had captured, he briefly appeared to save The Dark Lord … What I've done for the Magic World is something that a mortal like you can't understand …" Allen ignored the things that his father had done that would be illegal once exposed and only used the word 'I' instead. You're trying to confuse them together. We've always been fighting against other evils, and the political struggle has already existed since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic. It's just that Harris has won, and it's hard for many people to accept the fact that he's won too much. However, this is only within the scope of a political struggle … Scrimgeour, in order to protect your own position, you've even become a shield for those who support the Unknowns in a sense. The strike you instigated has exceeded the scope of a political struggle and violated the law. This is only because you're unwilling to lose the political struggle, not because of the selfless reason that you've hypnotized yourself into thinking that you're doing it for the sake of the Magic World! "
Scrimgeour had been telling himself that he didn't do anything wrong and that it was Harris who didn't follow the rules. However, at this moment, he breathed out heavily. It was as if Harris was violently enforcing the law. His authority in the Ministry of Magic had been taken away, and Harris had ostracized those who didn't join them. That was why he always felt that he had a clear conscience. But now, looking at it from this angle, he had indeed become radical under the influence of anger. He subconsciously regarded Harris as a dark wizard, so he felt that everything they did was wrong.
Scrimgeour sat in his seat and remained silent. Even though he felt that what Harris said was reasonable, Scrimgeour couldn't agree with the values of using unscrupulous means to achieve one's goal. However, he didn't know how to deal with it. At least his anger and hostility had been reduced by a lot.
Their argument finally affected the people in the kitchen. Noticing that the atmosphere outside had become stiff, Grindelwald activated his prophetic eye in the kitchen. He smiled as he grasped the information. Then, he put some of the dishes he had prepared on a tray and walked out with it.
