Chapter 474: Karkaroff
German Ministry of Magic,
Wizard Square.
Rove came back here after a few days, only to find that this place didn't seem to have changed much compared to the previous few days.
On the wide square, a large number of reporters still gathered, as if they had been staying here and never left.
There is no way, this is the International Federation of Wizards conference that is attracting worldwide attention. Reporters from various countries are on site 24 hours a day, lest they miss important news.
The appearance of Dumbledore and Rove immediately attracted the attention of this group of reporters. Their voices became noisy, and the harsh light of the spotlight shone in this direction.
Although the staff of the Ministry of Magic were trying their best to maintain order, the group of reporters still broke through the cordon, handed over the microphones one after another, and began to ask questions in a hurry.
"Mr. Dumbledore, how do you feel now that you have been elected president of the International Federation of Wizards for the third time?"
"South Africa recently published a report saying that... London will use some channels to influence, interfere and manipulate the elections of the Federation. How do you respond to this view?"
"Mr. Dumbledore, as early as half a year ago, the ministers of the Ministry of Magic of six countries claimed that you must be the president of the Federation.
So long ago, I said that I support you, will it give people the feeling that it is a default decision and a hand-picked meaning? "
"How many more years will you have to be the president of Lianzhan before stepping down?"
All kinds of sharp questions came to Dumbledore like raindrops, which made Rove tremble with fear. Is this also a topic that can be brought up?
Fortunately, Dumbledore was used to this kind of big scene, so he didn't angrily scold the reporters, listening to the wind is raining or always wanting to make big news.
Seeing that Dumbledore was silent, the group of reporters shifted their target to Rove again.
Although the federation has not made a final decision on the attack on the floating dragon boat, it would not be said that it caused the entire magic world to stir up an uproar, but the level of secrecy is not high for this group of reporters.
In other words, this kind of major event involving terrorist attacks cannot be hidden from the reporters' intelligence network at all.
They already knew that the boy in front of him was the hero who saved the floating dragon boat.
If Rove Scamander was only famous in England before, then the entire wizarding world would know his name soon.
"Mr. Scamander heard that you saved the floating dragon boat. Is this true?"
"How did you do it? Really, as rumored, using a fire dragon?"
"A staff member of the Magical Animals Protection Association said that you illegally kept dragons. What do you want to say about this?"
Rove's question is also very sharp, but in a
Under the intense spotlight, he still behaved calmly.
Under Auror protection, Rove and Dumbledore walked past rowdy photographers and reporters and entered the German Ministry of Magic.
Guided by the staff, they walked through the corridor and entered the conference hall.
This is a wide circular room, the walls are made of black stone, the light blue glass roof shimmers, and the various geometric figures projected make the hall look more magnificent.
The mottled shadows are sprinkled on the walls decorated with tiles and the marble floor. The air smells crisp and clean.
In the center of the hall was a huge circular table carved from giant wooden boards, surrounded by representatives from various countries.
When a small group of wizards saw Rove, they all stood up and came over to shake hands with him excitedly. These people were all representatives of various countries who were rescued by Rove on the floating dragon boat.
There are still more than half of the wizards left, and they haven't had time to ride the floating dragon boat, but they have heard about Rove's deeds.
After they saw Rove, the silent crowd first looked at each other in dismay, and then became commotion. He was really young and unbelievably young.
After exchanging pleasantries, Rove sat down beside the German Minister of Magic Klein, with a wizard on his right.
He was as thin as a knife, with white hair and a goatee with little curls at the end.
The man was looking at a document with an ugly face. Rove glanced at it and noticed that it was the latest evaluation report of the magic school issued by the Federation.
Ilvermorny ranked first among the eleven magic schools, and Hogwarts finally broke away from the position of the seventh in ten thousand years, and the ranking took a big step forward...
Become the sixth child.
Rove guessed that this might have something to do with the fact that there were no dead people in Hogwarts this school year.
The man also lifted up at the right time and looked at the boy. When the two eyes met, Rove smiled politely and said:
"Professor Karkaroff, hello."
Karkaroff stared at Rove with the gray eyeballs hidden under his eyebrows, and asked doubtfully, "You know me?"
"Of course I know the headmaster of Durmstrang." Rove said with a smile, "I have a friend named Karin Grigovich, and she thinks of you... very highly."
Karkaroff twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't believe that Grigovich would say good things about him.
When he fired the other guy, the guy sent him yelling letters, scolding him in front of all the students.
"Rolf Scamander, right?" Karkaroff examined the boy with cold gray eyes, and asked:
"You go to Hogwarts, right?"
"That's right."
"Severus Snape...is he alright?" Karkaroff asked.
"Professor Snape is very nice, you know him well?"
"Yes." Karkaroff looked a little dazed for a while, "We worked together for a while and had some friendship."
"A colleague?" Rove laughed. "I heard that Professor Snape and Peter Pettigrew were also colleagues. Did the three of you work together before?"
Karkaroff's face was a little stiff, and he quickly smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater, how could I be a colleague of this kind of person."
"Indeed, Death Eaters deserve to die... You are the headmaster of Durmstrang, how could you be a Death Eater?" Rove suddenly changed the subject and asked again:
"I heard Karin mention Durmstrang, saying that it teaches black magic there. I want to transfer to your school. What do you think?"
Karkaroff was shocked.
Although he didn't take the floating dragon boat, he also heard that Rolf Scamander saved the boat by relying on the fire dragon.
How could a teenager own a fire dragon? !
Considering that the grandfather of the boy in front of him is the famous magizoologist Newt Scamander, it seems that it is not surprising to have any strange creatures.
The thought of Rolf Scamander raising dragons in Durmstrang made Karkaroff's little heart stop.
Karkaroff quickly refused: "Forget it, our school is ranked tenth, far inferior to Hogwarts, which is ranked sixth, and I'm afraid it will delay your studies."
Rove: "..."
