The door to the courtroom opened, and the members of Wesengamer filed out.
Connelly and Umrich were the last to leave. Umrich stared at Harry with a scrutinizing gaze until Harry jogged out of the interrogation room.
"Dolores, take care of your subordinates. Don't give me any more trouble," Foggy scolded in a low voice as he leaned close to Umrich.
Allen, who was sitting in the corner of the auditorium, coughed lightly and stood up, reminding Foggy of his presence. Foggy suddenly paused and frowned. When he saw that it was Allen, he signaled for Umrich to leave and quickly walked toward Allen.
When Umrich walked past Allen, she gave him a fawning smile. That smile was like a pink toad. Allen restrained his desire to turn around and politely nodded in return. Umrich seemed to have received great encouragement. She was in high spirits. Holding a large scroll of parchment in one hand and a small bag in the other, her short and fat figure quickly disappeared outside the courtroom.
"Allen, can you give me some time to talk?" Foggy invited Allen. "Trust me, it won't take too much of your time."
"It would be my pleasure, Director." This was the reason why Allen had stayed until the end. Of course, he wouldn't refuse Foggy's invitation to talk.
"Please come with me. I don't think this is a good place to talk." Thinking that Allen might have heard his conversation with Dolores just now, Foggy glanced around the courtroom. Even though the gloomy courtroom was empty, he still felt uneasy.
Allen nodded and followed behind Foggy. The two stopped talking and ignored the other wizards who were also taking the elevator and secretly observing them. They went straight to the first basement where the director's office was located.
After entering the director's office, Foggy's expression relaxed a lot. He took off his magic robe and threw it aside, revealing his white shirt. He pulled up his dark green suit pants and sat behind the super wide desk in the room.
He snapped his fingers, and a tray suddenly appeared on the desk. On it was tea and baked bread.
"Sigh, Allen," Foggy said as he poured the tea, "To tell you the truth, Harry's incident has really thrown us into a mess. It was the Dementors who attacked him. I thought … we couldn't let this matter blow up and cause a commotion. It's too bad for the Ministry of Magic. That's the most important thing right now. "
Foggy took out a plate of scone, took one for himself, and pushed the plate to Allen.
"Allen, I hope you won't report on what happened today. of the court today." Foggy smiled at Allen from the side of the teacup, like an uncle looking at his favorite nephew.
Ellen lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Even if the prophet's daily newspaper doesn't report it, with Sirius' unwillingness to give up, he will definitely find other media outlets to publicize it."
Foggy waved the scone that he had taken a bite out of impatiently. A few raisins fell on his desk. He looked at them with disgust and said, "Those third-rate media outlets are far less influential than the Prophet Daily and the Prophet Daily. As long as these two mainstream media outlets don't report it, the negative impact of this incident can be contained within an acceptable range."
"But this is indeed the fault of the Ministry of Magic's failure to supervise the Dementors. The Ministry of Magic has to bear the corresponding responsibility." Allen clenched his fists and put them on the table.
"Family Harris wants to take control of the Dementors?" Foggy thought that Harris wanted to take the opportunity to take back what was rightfully theirs. He couldn't help but raise his voice as frustration and worry rose in his heart.
"Minister, you misunderstand. What I mean is that instead of controlling the media's public opinion, it's better to push the blame to the person who made the mistake in management. If we completely suppress the report, Sirius will probably protest even more and use more means. Only when he sees someone being punished and someone taking the blame can he be appeased. Think about it. After all, he was once imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years because of a misjudgment. Now, with Harry and Sirius's violent temper, the more they suppress it, the fiercer the backlash will be. "
"You mean push it to Dolores?" Foggy kept turning the teacup in his hand. He hesitated and said, "No, if we can't protect our subordinates, the other people in the Ministry of Magic will be bitterly disappointed."
Allen raised his eyebrows and gave up on the idea of directly destroying Umrich. He made another suggestion. "Perhaps you can take back control of the Dementors and directly control them in your own hands. This is equivalent to punishing Ms. Umrich. She'll just lose an authority that she mismanaged. To other people, this is equivalent to protecting her. After all, she won't completely lose her position. "
Foggy nodded and thought to himself, This way, the control of the Dementors will still be firmly in my hands. He got up and poured himself and Allen a cup of Ceylon lowland black tea. He resumed his unhurried tone. "Then what will be reported on the contrary?"
"It's impossible not to report anything at all, but the specific details can be described in more neutral terms by the reporters. There won't be a lot of space." Allen blinked. "Right, I have something that I want to ask the minister for help with. Do you know that I've been thinking of setting up a TV station recently?"
"Huh? Did anyone in the ministry stop you from going through the procedures? I should've told them not to trouble you. "Foggy was stunned. He thought that one of his subordinates had taken the initiative to provoke Harris. "I'll tell them to let you go." Foggy had only heard about it from his subordinates, but he had no idea what it was.
Allen waved his hand to indicate that Foggy had misunderstood. "Minister, the procedures for the TV station are very smooth. We've already completed the registration. After all, we're not like the short-lived Wizard TV broadcasting company in the early eighties who directly used Muggle technology. They were banned by the Ministry of Magic for seriously violating the International Union of Wizards and Wizards' confidentiality laws before they even broadcast any programs. The Wizard TV that Harris modified and the Muggle TV are completely uninterconnected in terms of signal and energy. After all, TV is different from radio. When a Muggle accidentally hears a Wizard TV station, it's easy for them to think that they've misheard or that it's a prank. But when they accidentally see a Wizard TV program, it's not so easy for them to believe it. "
"Then, Allen, what do you want me to help you with?" Foggy was a little confused. Although he didn't know much about these things, it didn't sound like there was any violation. Then what was Harris doing?
"What I mean is, after all, Family Harris' TV station won't be the only one in the future. I suggest that the Ministry of Magic set up a related department for unified management. But since this is a new industry, the personnel for this department will be decided by Harris. After all, we're the first family to come into contact with this matter. This way, we can look at the problem from both the Ministry of Magic and the TV station's point of view. We can constantly compromise and improve on each other, and finally come up with the most reasonable management laws. Of course, the scope and authority of this new department won't affect the functions of the other departments in the Ministry of Magic. It will only manage the film industry and related content. I hope that you can give me permission, Minister. "Allen pretended to ask, but he didn't have any intention of begging.
Foggy understood that this was a condition of not reporting the Soul Dementors' attack on the Savior and Muggle.
It was just that Foggy was a little hesitant about Harris possibly controlling a new media. Although the other party's reason was grand, he had no idea what kind of impact this so-called TV station might bring.
"In fact, we've already made a few prototypes and invited Mr. Tilden Toots, the host of the Wizard Radio Network, and Miss Hibiscus Chinensis Dracul from the Ministry of Magic to record a temporary pilot for us. Then, we'll place a lot of advertisements in the Daily Herald and promote it, and we'll do the pilot in places like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village. The limelight brought by these new things will definitely reduce the public's attention to Harry's attack to the lowest, making it less conspicuous. What do you think? Minister. "
Foggy thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to give the approval for the establishment of the TV station's relevant functional department. He was convinced by Allen, and now he was eager to get rid of the influence of the Soul Dementors. On the other hand, he was worried that if he didn't do anything, the Daily Herald's Daily Herald, whose sales were now second only to the Daily Herald, would embarrass him. If it blew up, it would put him at a disadvantage when facing Dumbledore. If Dumbledore took the opportunity to do something to him …
