Amelia easily handled the accident that caused Hagrid and Hermione headaches, and also vividly demonstrated her abilities and the convenience of rights in front of Amosta.
To be honest, for a short moment, Amosta really considered whether to come to the Ministry of Magic to take a dip in the muddy waters, but he immediately woke up. Yes, in a stable social order, rights do exist. It is a very useful thing, but when the social order moves towards chaos, his own power has more say.
Moreover, once you step into the vortex of power, it is not so easy to stay alone, just like Amelia in front of him.
Amelia Bones has always had a good reputation in the wizarding world and is regarded as an upright wizard. However, even a person like her, in an environment of power struggle, has to think about it if she does not want to be kicked out. Do your best to increase your leverage.
"Oh, ho ho, look who this is!"
One minute before eight o'clock, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the office door. Cornelius Fudge, the leader, opened the door to his office and immediately showed joy when he saw Amosta on the sofa. , striding forward with open arms.
"Good morning, Secretary Fudge, you look good—"
Amosta stood up, gave Fudge a light hug, and said with a smile.
"Yes, because there is an outstanding young hero who helped the Ministry of Magic solve a big problem!"
Connelly winked at Amosta, his expression extremely cordial. Then, he pretended to suddenly remember, patted his forehead, turned sideways, and introduced the few people who followed him into the office. Amosta,
"Rufus and Dolores, you met that night, Amosta, these two are Amelia and my right-hand assistants. Without them, we can't deal with the complicated situation!"
Fudge said with a smile.
Amosta noticed a flash of displeasure in Amelia's eyes, and then he realized the problem. I'm afraid, what Fudge said was just a polite word.
Not to mention Dolores Umbridge, the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, whose attitude suddenly changed when they met again, and who was looking at him with a sweet smile.
Rufus Scrimgeour may not necessarily be in the same trench as Amelia. He is the director of the Auror Office, a subordinate department of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. However, when Amelia received him, she did not bring him... Rufus is a subordinate who is responsible for the most critical department in this department, but Rufus is following Fudge. This should be regarded as an excuse.
Amosta met Rufus three times. The first time he was sent to St. Mungo's, the second time a few nights ago, Rufus yelled at him to kill him, and the third time It's now.
Amosta understood the reason for the cold attitude towards him from the head of the Auror office.
Judging from Rufus's behavior after seeing him use the Fire Curse that night, this man was a master who could not get rid of the dirt in his eyes. Moreover, the Aurors had been tracking Greyback for so many years to no avail, but they were inexplicably caught in the trap. In his own hands, this is almost telling everyone that Aurors are a bunch of trash.
"Ahem, and this one -"
Fudge's smile was a bit unnatural, and he looked towards the last wizard who walked into the office.
"The director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the famous Barty Crouch. Everyone in the British wizarding world knows him, including you of course, right, Amosta?"
Full of malice.
Whether it was the order of introduction or the tone, Amosta felt Fudge's malice towards Barty Crouch from his attitude.
Barty Crouch is a man in his fifties. Unlike Fudge, who is chubby, always dresses in mismatched styles, and wears a genial smile most of the time, Crouch has a straight back, stiff movements, and spotless and loose clothes. Suit and tie without any wrinkles. The short black hair is also not messy at all. The middle seam of the middle-parted hairstyle is as straight as if it were drawn with a ruler, and his narrow toothbrush-like mustache seems to have been trimmed with a sliding ruler.
Amosta read the indifference in Crouch's eyes, rather than hostility or disgust.
This is very interesting.
At this point, it is impossible for Barty Crouch not to know that the Ministry is already preparing to push him to take the blame for Sirius, and this almost means that his plans to further his position have completely failed. Normally, Barty Crouch Crouch will definitely resent himself very much. The expression on his face now can only mean one thing, that is, Fudge did not say that this idea was his own.
While Amosta's mind was spinning, Barty Crouch stared at Amosta, his brows furrowed slightly.
As a long-established senior official of the Ministry of Magic, Crouch has met countless outstanding young wizards from all walks of life over the years, but each of them has become more or less vulnerable under his oppressive gaze. He was at a loss and seemed nervous.
Only the director of the Hogwarts Student Safety Office, Amosta Brain, who looked to be in his early twenties, couldn't help but stir up a wave of fear after his gaze plunged into those lavender eyes. On the contrary, I felt a palpitation in my heart at the fierceness that inadvertently flashed through the pair of heterochromatic eyes.
Originally, when Connelly told himself that it was just a young wizard who killed Greyback and a large group of werewolves under him, he didn't quite believe it, but now, he already believed it 70% to 80%.
The person in the worst mood in this room right now must be Barty Crouch.
Twelve years ago, his Death Eater son ruined his hope of becoming the Minister of Magic. After twelve years of hard work, people in the wizarding world have gradually forgotten the scandal that happened to him. However, Unexpectedly, a political achievement that year would drag him into the abyss again today.
If it were in the past, Barty Crouch would definitely not mind chatting with this young wizard who suddenly emerged. But now, he is not in the mood at all, so he just looks at Amo with a tigerish face. Star nodded.
At present, several people in the office are strong contenders for the next Minister of Magic, and since he has chosen to support Amelia Bones, it is naturally inconvenient for him to be too affectionate with others, so Amo Star just smiled and nodded at Old Badipi.
The atmosphere in the room was a little cold, and Fudge looked a little embarrassed. Amelia stood up at the right time, smiled and said to Fudge,
"Amosta and I just talked about the situation at school. Connelly, I think the most important thing should be conveyed by you."
"Oh, thank you for giving me this honor, Amelia—"
Fudge immediately said with a smile. He asked everyone to find a seat and then looked at Amosta affectionately.
"Medal of Merlin, First Class - We urgently contacted the Medal Assessment Office under the International Federation of Wizards. It was very difficult, but it was done. This is what I said last summer."
"thanks very much!"
The calm Amosta still pretended to be a little surprised.
"In addition, after deliberation and decision by the ministry, the ministry will invite you to serve as the wizard of the Wizengamot Tribunal and the senior advisor to the Ministry of Magic. Of course, the bounty on Greyback and his werewolves plus the original plan to give to Sirius The reward, a total of 70,000 gold galleons, will be given to you!"
This was considered a practical benefit, and the smile on Amosta's face became more sincere.
"We also got you some extra credit, Amosta,"
Fudge said happily,
"Dumbledore, the honorary vice-president of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, is the honorary chairman. Also, we have contacted the famous magazine in the wizarding world - "Wizard Weekly". This year's 'Most Charming Smile Award' must be yours, Amos. Tower, I bet your picture on the cover of a magazine is more eye-catching than Gilderoy Lockhart's. After all, that annoying charlatan just stole the story of a wizard who helped save a small village from werewolves. You actually killed such a werewolf!"
Bah, what a bad luck!
The smile on Amosta's face froze.
