All legendary magical items were managed by the Ministry of Magic, and Gryffindor's sword was naturally one of them. However, Hermione clearly did not agree with this.
Before Scrimgeour could finish speaking, she interrupted him agitatedly.
"It belongs to Harry. It chose Harry. It was Harry who found it. It came out of the Sorting Hat to find Harry …"
She was talking about the incident in the secret chamber when Elwyn first entered the academy. Elwyn and Harry had a decisive battle with Tom Liddell's diary and the snake monster in the secret chamber.
Elwyn was still an ordinary little Wizard at that time. He might be slightly stronger than the other first-year students, but not by much. That battle had been exceptionally difficult. Fortunately, Harry had pulled out Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat at the critical moment and used it to defeat Tom Liddell and the snake monster.
Before Harry pulled out Gryffindor's sword, the sword had been missing. There was no evidence that it was in Hogwarts.
Obviously, as a special legendary magical item, the sword itself not only had a special sharpness, but it also had some special spatial magic characteristics.
However, it was a bit far-fetched to say that Gryffindor's sword belonged to Harry because of this.
"According to reliable historical information, the sword will appear in front of every outstanding Gryffindor student," Scrimgeour said. "Mr. Potter found it, but that doesn't make it his personal property. No matter what Dumbledore decides, Gryffindor's sword …"
"There's also the scabbard. It's the scabbard that Elwyn found in the giant tribe. Without Elwyn, there would be no scabbard."
"The scabbard and the sword are one!" "If the sword appears, the scabbard will naturally appear as well. If the Ministry of Magic knows where the scabbard is, they will also send people to retrieve it. We are very grateful to Mr. Mason for helping us find the scabbard that has been lost for thousands of years. We can even award him a special contribution award. In fact, we have already done so, but this does not mean that the sword or the scabbard belongs to either Mr. Mason or Mr. Potter. No one, not even Dumbledore, could give it to anyone else. Compared to that, I'm more interested in knowing why Dumbledore left Gryffindor's treasured sword with him … "
As he spoke, he turned his aggressive gaze towards Harry.
"You want to know why Dumbledore wants to give me the sword?" Harry said, sounding as if Scrimgeour had asked a ridiculous question.
"That's right. I want to know why he did it. I want you to tell me all your secrets."
"Humph, secrets!" Harry struggled to control his anger. "He probably thought that the sword would look good on my wall."
"This is not a joke, Potter!" Scrimgeour roared. "Why do you think I'm asking you these questions?! Why do you think I'm here?! I'm not joking with you. We have to figure this out. Does Dumbledore believe that only Godric Gryffindor's sword can defeat the heir of Slytherin? Does he want to give the sword to you because, like many people, he believes that you are destined to destroy the devil whose name cannot be mentioned? "
"Interesting theory!" Harry said sarcastically. "If you want to know this, has anyone tried to stab Lord Voldemort with a sword? Maybe the Ministry of Magic should arrange for someone to do this instead of wasting their time on removing lights out, studying fairy tales, wooden statues, and blocking the news of the Azkaban prison break. "
"You don't understand at all."
"I know everything. Sirius has already told me. You've been locking yourself in your office recently and haven't done anything … Ah, I understand now. So that's what you've been doing. Minister, locking yourself in your office and racking your brains to figure out a way to open a burglar? People are dying everywhere. I almost died too, but the Ministry of Magic doesn't say a word about this, does it? Do you still expect us to cooperate with you? "
"Enough, Potter. You've gone too far!" Scrimgeour shouted. "You, and the three of you, you don't understand the current situation at all. You …"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister. I think we know very well!" Elwyn said. "It's you who doesn't understand the current situation. I think the Ministry of Magic is now …"
"Are you trying to order me around, Mason? You think you're so smart. Like those ridiculous newspapers say, Dumbledore's heir, you're smart enough to guide me? No, in my opinion, you're as ignorant as Potter. The four of you have been secretive and haven't told the Ministry of Magic anything for sure. It's as if the few of you can defeat that demon. I know you have such thoughts. You want to become famous because of this. Ridiculous and arrogant. You're joking with the future of the magic world. Now that Dumbledore is dead, only I and the Ministry of Magic can defeat the Lord Voldemort. You have to tell me all the secrets. "
"I'm not ordering you, Mr. Minister. I'm just giving you some reasonable suggestions that can help the Ministry of Magic, if that's what you're looking for."
"I'm not here to listen to suggestions!" Scrimgeour said word by word, as if he was using a lot of strength. "What I need are the secrets that Dumbledore left for you."
"In your dreams. We won't tell you. Don't even think about knowing anything." Harry shouted and jumped up.
"Potter!" Scrimgeour shouted angrily and stood up. He was so angry that his whole face turned purple. He limped over to Harry and poked Harry's chest with the tip of his wand. The wand burned a hole in Harry's T-shirt like a lit cigarette.
"Hey!" Ron shouted, jumping up and raising his wand.
"Don't, Ron. Do you want him to have an excuse to arrest us?"
"Aha, now you remember that you're not in school, do you?" Scrimgeour said, breathing heavily. "Now you remember that I'm not Dumbledore and won't forgive your rudeness and presumptuousness, do you? Do you think I won't arrest you? Potter, you can think of that scar as a crown! And you, Mason, you can think of yourself as the future star of the magic world, but you're nothing now. I'm the Minister of the Ministry of Magic. I know how to fight against the Dark Demon. It's not up to two seventeen-year-old kids to tell me how to do my job! You should learn to respect others! "
"You ought to learn to win people's respect!" said Harry, glaring at Scrimgeour immovable.
"Put down your wand, Mr. Minister!" said Elwyn. "This isn't the Hogwarts, but it's not the Ministry of Magic either. You're too impulsive!"
