Chapter 382
The three people stopped at the private passage for guests entering the Ministry of Magic, next to a telephone booth that was common in the Muggle world in the 20th century.
Arthur Weasley talked but stopped.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Mr. Cole Walker, are you sure you want to go with Harry? Although you used to serve as an Auror at the Ministry of Magic,...you know.
You are very unwelcome in that place now."
While speaking, Weasley smiled awkwardly and politely, approaching Cole, jokingly said, "There are many About your rumors.
After the death of the Black Demon King, notorious Death Eater hunters may return to their old business and turn their guns to deal with other wizards.
To be honest, there is At the time, you were the same as the dark Demon King, which made the wizards feel terrified."
I heard Arthur Weasley joking, but he was extremely truthful.
Harry became more curious.
A Muggle, why do wizards fear him?
At the dinner table yesterday, Cole pointed a pistol to Professor Lupin’s face, the teacher who had served as a defense against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts and had very rich combat experience.
There are many ways to make the gun misfire, or turn it into something strange and lose its lethality.
But.
The entire Phoenix club members all watched, no one tried to stop them.
Buried the question deeply in my heart.
Harry looked up at Cole. The smell of cigarettes made him cough.
The Death Eater hunter who is as famous as the Black Demon King in Weasley’s mouth, browses slightly wrinkle and squeezes out the cigarette butt, indifferently said, "How about the people of the Ministry of Magic? Thinking, I’m not interested.
But when a dementor appears in the ordinary person’s world, I think someone will be willing to explain this to me."
So naked threat.
Weasley raised an eyebrow at Harry helplessly.
He knew very well who Cole was suggesting.
Lucius Malfoy of cunning, the pureblood wizard who is suspected to be a Death Eater.
Because of some political issues, the two parties have reached some agreements. The Ministry of Magic strictly controls the number of black wizards and magical creatures that appear in the Muggle world.
In return, Cole agreed to leave the Auror office and never step into the magical world unless approved by the Ministry of Magic.
However.
The evil and dangerous magical creature, the dementor, was hit by the opponent.
If the Ministry of Magic cannot give a reasonable explanation, the fragile agreement may have to fail.
The internal space of public telephone booths is very small.
Three people ride at the same time, it will inevitably be a little crowded.
Like an old-fashioned elevator, the phone booth landed at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic through a magic rope.
The morning of the working day.
Even in the magic world, the roads are still crowded.
The wizards always walk out of the fireplace through the guest passages disguised as telephone booths, or use Floo nets, bathed in green flames.
Before leaving the phone booth.
Arthur grabbed the doorknob, turned his head to look at Cole, smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking.
Originally, he wanted to admonish the opponent, after entering the Ministry of Magic, maybe he could keep a low profile to avoid confusion.
But after thinking about it, he swallowed it back.
Get out of the phone booth.
Harry, who came to the Ministry of Magic for the first time, was shocked by the magnificent pure gold statues and the huge magical portrait of Cornelius Fudge.
Magic paper airplanes used as inter-departmental memos, like a flock of birds flying over their heads.
In the fast-paced Ministry of Magic.
The appearance of Harry and Arthur is unremarkable.
Wrapped by the crowd, walked towards the elevator shaft.
Until a choking smell of smoke floated at the entrance to the non-smoking Ministry of Magic, a lot of wizards were frowned and looked all around, trying to find the unruly guy.
Afterwards.
A particularly abrupt exclaim, attracting the attention of many wizards.
"God...Cole Walker! How could he be at the Ministry of Magic?!"
"Cole Walker? The wizard hunter is back again?!"
"My Heavens!"
Suddenly.
Originally, the pace of work was fast, and the entrance of the Ministry of Magic where the wizard was hurried, fell into a weird silence.
one after another, either in horror, or fear, or a hostile look.
Projected on that man who shouldn't have appeared on the Ministry of Magic.
Harry stood beside Cole.
Look around all around.
The reaction of the crowd made him somewhat difficult to understand.
Is it like Mrs. Feige said...?
As the person who brought Death Eater hunters to the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained to everyone, "Uh... everybody! Because of some things, Cole · Mr. Walker needs to interview Minister Cornelius Fudge.
He is not here to find the black wizard and Death Eaters!
I can assure you!"
Cole ignored the gaze of the wizards, took the cigarette, and walked to the elevator shaft.
That one is for the wizards.
The windbreaker is like a nightmare, the bottom of which swings gently with Cole's steps.
Arthur pushed Harry who was still in a daze, smiled apologetically to his colleagues at the Ministry of Magic, and hurried after him.
After a while.
A shocked Ministry of Magic returned to the previous rhythm of work.
It's just that.
Everyone is discussing in a low voice why Cole Walker, a Death Eater hunter, will deliberately tear up the agreement unilaterally and set foot on the wizard world at this point.
But it is certain.
Mostly it has something to do with the mysterious person who can’t talk aloud.
Cole walked into the elevator.
The wizard, who was already waiting inside, ran out like avoiding a plague when seeing him.
I would rather be late than take the same elevator with him.
After Harry and Arthur walk in.
As the door closes, Kingsley, who is still an Auror, squeezes into the elevator and whispers in Arthur's ear.
The latter's eyes widened in shock.
"My God..."
With his years of working at the Ministry of Magic, he clearly understands Cornelius Fudge, what that stupid politician wants to play Trick.
Give a glance with Cole.
It seems to be saying: Fortunately you are here.
Otherwise.
How could Harry Potter, such a fifteen-year-old boy, have beaten Fudge's cunning Old Guy in court.
Then lowered his head and said to Harry, "Harry, your hearing time has changed."
Harry turned around and said, "What time did it change?"
Arthur Weasley said solemnly, "In five minutes."
After the elevator stopped.
A mechanical female voice rang out, the'mysterious affairs department'.
Arthur and Kingsley looked at each other, took a deep breath, and walked inside with Harry and Cole.
However.
Not a few steps.
There was a whisper in the mysterious affairs department, which has always been quiet.
When crossing a corridor.
Exactly.
The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, is whispering something with Lucius Malfoy.
"Your Excellency, you have to make the right choice."
"I know, we have to..."
Perhaps it is the detection of Harry 's arrival
The two stopped talking.
looked towards the corridor.
For a noble wizard like them, the poor Mr. Weasley and the young and ignorant Harry Potter are the poor creatures that can be handled at will.
The gazes of the two are like examining prisoners and untouchables.
Until...
A familiar silhouette in a trench coat appeared in their field of vision.
