Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 547 Visiting the Ministry of Magic

Ministry of Magic, the Minister's Office on the ground floor.

The corridor outside the Minister's Office on weekdays has long been crowded with Ministry of Magic employees who need to report matters and sign signatures. This situation was especially exaggerated in the days after the attack at the Quidditch match. People who made reports could They were sent from the door of Fudge's office to the elevator hall.

The same situation happened today. Early in the morning, the door of the minister's office, which was supposed to be open to 'welcome guests', was closed. Even Senior Minister Dolores Umbridge failed to knock on the door of the minister's office.

The employees queuing up outside were talking a lot and asking around. What major case did the group from the Auror office rush in for?
In the luxurious minister's office, the atmosphere was equally anxious.

Sirius had been arguing with Delis all morning about Remus, completely ignoring his boss. Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror office, kept looking at him with cold eyes. Kings, who was also here Lai's several attempts to lighten the atmosphere failed.

"That scumbag!"

In excitement, Delis' straight gray hair seemed to be stiffened like an electric shock. The wizard's robe he was wearing was held tightly by his taut strong body. He glared at Sirius and shouted in an almost roaring voice. ,
"I have seen through it a long time ago. He wants to use conspiracy to fight against the department's investigation, right? And you, Black, you have been covering him up. You want to delay time!"

"Watch your words, you idiot!"

Sirius' gray eyes flashed coldly, and his tone was as cold as his eyes.
"There is no evidence to prove that Remus is guilty. Maybe he just appeared there accidentally. In addition, I must emphasize that even if Remus really has a problem, he has the right to receive it before consulting the ministry." Treatment at St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies!”

"absurd!"

If he hadn't been in the minister's office, Delis might have taken out his wand and slapped the guy in front of him who was also guilty of the same heinous crime and who just narrowly escaped trial. In his opinion, Sirius Black and Remus Lu Ping is like a bird of a feather.

One of them has been squatting in Azkaban for more than ten years, and the other...
"The law is to protect wizards!" Delis said through gritted teeth, "not for those dirty and despicable werewolves!"

If the atmosphere in the office just now was like a pot of scalding hot oil, now Delis's unbridled speech was like pouring a basin of cold water into the pot of hot oil, which suddenly exploded.

Without saying a word, Sirius whipped out his wand from his sleeve and pointed it at Delis's eyes.

"Apologise!" Sirius gasped, "or I'll let you go to St. Mungo's for a few days, Delis!"

"Compared to St. Mungo's -" Delis took out his wand without showing any signs of weakness, "I would rather send you to Azkaban again!"

Seeing that the quarrel between the two people was about to turn into a duel, Rufus Scrimgeour, who was the immediate boss of Delis and Sirius, suddenly stopped. His lion-like orange light shot out with a frightening light, and his voice also sounded like a lion. Roaring like a demonstration before attacking,

"What do you want to do!"

Rufus Scrimgeour stepped between the two confronting men.
"For a criminal, do you want to blow up the minister's office?"

As soon as these words came out, Sirius immediately directed his angry eyes at Scrimgeour, while Delis's rough eyes showed a trace of imperceptible pride, while Kingsley on the other side also narrowed his eyes, not being able to express it openly. From his position, he looked calmly at Fudge, who was sitting behind his office, frowning, and his eyes even a little wandering.

This morning, Cornelius Fudge was generally in this state. He listened to the opinions of the two parties for a while, and then he stopped paying attention to what they were arguing about. Instead, he fell into his own contemplation.

This is not normal, isn't it? This conflict is taking place in his own office, but the minister seems to be indifferent. What on earth is he planning?
"Put your wand down first, Sirius—"

Unable to guess what the minister was thinking, Kingsley had to focus on resolving the conflict.
"No one wants to see you and your colleagues fighting in the Minister's office, Sirius!"

Kingsley emphasized the word 'no one'. He thought that Sirius should understand his hint. However, the angry Sirius did not pay attention to what Kingsley was saying. He wanted to do something for him. His friend defended, but Rufus noticed Kingsley's little trick in tone, and he cast a sharp glance at Kingsley.

"minister!"

At this moment, the door of the office, which had been quiet for a while, was knocked again. The person calling outside was almost destroying the door of the minister's office by hammering the door, and his voice was also full of excitement.

"Are you there, Minister!" After nearly two months, Sirius had become very familiar with the people in the Ministry, and he immediately recognized that this was the young new director of the Goblin Liaison Office - Dirk Clay. Sway.

This person has a pretty good relationship with Sirius. This relationship is not developed by Sirius on his own initiative, but by Dirk himself. He admires Amosta, who is also a Slytherin, so, On days when Sirius was not on the field, Dirk Cresswell went to Sirius to talk to him about Amosta.

Hearing Dirk's excited voice, Sirius' eyebrows moved slightly, and he finally slowly lowered his wand.

"There's someone you need to meet, Minister!"

Dirk, who received no response, still stared at the door.

"I'm taking care of things, Dirk!"

Through the door, Fudge shouted angrily, "If it's convenient, you can ask the visitors to go to Dolores to get a number, and then queue up outside!"

The doorbell outside only stopped for a second and then started ringing again. Dirk shouted at the top of his lungs,
"Are you sure, Minister? It's Mr. Brain—Amosta Brain is outside the door!"

Sirius's eyes suddenly widened, and the anger on his face disappeared along with the pressure he had endured in his heart for the past two days. He was about to go to open the door, but he gave him a stern look and cleverly crossed his eyes. He moved a step, blocking his path.

"Amosta?"

Fudge also looked relieved, but this expression only appeared on his face for a few seconds, and then his expression became tense again,
"Ahem--"

Fudge raised his butt halfway and then lowered it back down. He pretended to cough a few times.

"Okay, Dirk, you can bring him in!"

Rufus Scrimgeour and Delis exchanged glances, and both of their faces darkened.

"what's wrong?"

As soon as Amosta walked into the office, he saw Rufus Scrimgeour and his unfortunate Auror staring at him gloomily, and Sirius looked at him with relief in his eyes. Len gave himself a friendly smile.

It didn't take much for Amosta to feel the tension in the office. At the same time, he probably guessed what happened in the office just now - Sirius and Delis were still holding wands in their hands!
As for the reason for the conflict, it goes without saying.

However, Amosta still had a stunned expression. He looked at Cornelius Fudge at the desk and asked in a stunned tone,

"Did I come at the wrong time, Minister?"

"of course not--"

Fudge showed an ugly smile,
"We were just talking about normal work, Amosta--"
