Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 465: Minister of Magic is not easy to be Scrimgeour tells the truth

"Oh, then please come over here," Sainz pointed to the corner next to him, "It's quiet over there."

"Percy, wait here for me." Scrimgeour asked his assistant to stay and followed.

"What do you want to ask, Mr. Minister?"

"Why was Dumbledore poisoned?" Scrimgeour was anxious to know the truth.

"Didn't anyone else tell you?"

Scrimgeour stared at Sainz's face closely. "Yes, but I want to hear your judgment. After all, you sent him here."

"This really stumps me," Sainz spread his hands, "I don't know the specific situation, he was unconscious when I saw him.

Don't be impatient. If you want to hear my judgment, I will make a bold guess. I guess it is very likely a conspiracy of Voldemort. He deliberately lured him there and did something there beforehand."

"You mean that person set up an ambush there in advance, lured Dumbledore there and then poisoned him personally."

"It's normal, isn't it?" Sainz said. "Everyone knows that Dumbledore is the only person Voldemort is afraid of. If I were him, I would also try every means to weaken Dumbledore."

"Then do you know why Dumbledore was fooled?" Scrimgeour asked. "Or what do you think?"

"Mr. Minister, what do you think?"

Scrimgeour looked at Sainz meaningfully. "That's exactly what I want to know, because my opinion is not important. Dumbledore seems to have his own ideas. He may have some clues, but he doesn't want others to know."

"You also said that he didn't want people to know," Sainz said helplessly, "Of course I don't know either.

I understand that the Minister thought I might know something, since I was the first one to arrive at the scene.”

"Is not it?"

"I think you misunderstood. I was able to get there not because of Dumbledore, but because of Harry Potter."

"Harry Potter?"

"Yes, Harry Potter," Sainz said, "I wonder if you still remember the Triwizard Tournament?"

"What does this have to do with the Triwizard Tournament?"

"It doesn't matter at first," Sainz said with an expression that I didn't know would turn out like this. "Back then, there were two warriors at Hogwarts. I happened to be patrolling the stadium during the third game. In order to be able to show up in time when the two warriors of our school were in danger, I made two amulets for them."

"So that's how it is..." Scrimgeour suddenly thought of something. "Harry Potter insisted that he had met that person the summer before last... So you knew that person had returned the summer before last? How did you do that?"

"Why don't you stand up and support Harry Potter?" Sainz asked with a playful look on his face.

Scrimgeour's face froze. "You saved Harry Potter and Dumbledore. You drove him away?"

Sainz said lightly, "I think he probably wanted to leave on his own. He probably felt that the ambush plan had been exposed and was worried about being besieged. Anyway, Dumbledore is already unconscious, isn't he?"

Scrimgeour nodded when he heard this. The Minister of Magic was obviously more willing to believe this statement rather than the fact that Sainz defeated the dreaded Voldemort alone.

He still didn't give up, "Professor Autumn, do you really have no idea about what Dumbledore is doing?

If... I mean if we," he said in a negotiating tone, "if we knew something, maybe we could help a little instead of letting Dumbledore take it all on himself."

"Mr. Minister," Sainz spread his hands and said, "I think you know Dumbledore. If he doesn't want to say it, probably no one can know what he is doing."

Scrimgeour sighed in frustration. "He... is exactly as you said," he said gloomily, "at this very moment, at this very moment!

I don’t know what the reporters will say now. They just hope something big happens in the world every day so that they can have food to eat.”

Although Scrimgeour also has some bureaucratic ideas, he is much stronger than his predecessor in fighting against Voldemort. In the original trajectory, he would rather die than betray Harry, which is worthy of recognition.

Sainz had an idea and decided to help him a little. Instead of letting him use his energy to deal with reporters, it would be better to let him use his energy to fight the Death Eaters.

"I suppose what the journalists say depends on what the minister says?"

Scrimgeour was stunned. "What does Professor Autumn mean?"

"Mr. Minister," Sainz said, "I think what the reporters want to know is probably the same as what we want to know. Why did Dumbledore live in St. Mungo's, why was he unconscious, why was he poisoned, and how was he poisoned?"

Scrimgeour said irritably, "I want to know these questions too. If I don't give them an answer, they will just make up rumors."

The new Minister of Magic is apparently not as good at dealing with reporters as his predecessor, Sainz said: "Dumbledore's poisoning was obviously a conspiracy by Voldemort?"

"Didn't you say that was just your guess?"

"The reporter didn't know that it was just the minister's speculation."

"What?" Scrimgeour said in surprise. "You said that was my guess? Oh? Oh, thank you, Professor Autumn."

Scrimgeour was able to become a senior executive of the Ministry of Magic, so he was certainly not a real political idiot. He immediately realized that Sainz allowed him to use his own inferences and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"So, any ideas as to why he poisoned Professor Autumn?"

"Let us try to speculate why Voldemort was so convinced that Dumbledore would go there. He must have placed a bait there that Dumbledore could not refuse.

So what does Dumbledore want to achieve most?"

"Defeat the mysterious man?"

"Yes, Mr. Minister, if you suddenly heard that there was a weapon that could defeat Voldemort hidden somewhere, would you be tempted to go and take a look?"

"Of course!" Scrimgeour said excitedly, "Professor Autumn, I think you have found the truth!"

He became excited. "That must be it. Dumbledore has probably been looking for this weapon this year! He was afraid that others would leak the news, so he kept it a secret from everyone."

Sainz said noncommittally, "Who knows, after all, there is no evidence"

Scrimgeour believed this more than he did. He said firmly, "Sometimes, an unintentional guess may be the truth. You have been a great help, Professor Autumn, you have been a great help!"

"Mr. Minister," Sainz warned, "Perhaps what I said is a bit disappointing. If, I mean, if we are unlucky enough to guess correctly, the reporters will know that this lie may ruin Dumbledore's plan. What do you think?"

"You are right, Professor Autumn. I will be careful not to expose Dumbledore's plan."

Scrimgeour went there happily after receiving the news.

That morning, the Daily Prophet published an interview with the Minister of Magic.

"We found out from our investigation that the man set up a conspiracy and hid it from Dumbledore, causing him to be poisoned accidentally..."

When asked why Dumbledore was there, the Minister of Magic hinted cryptically that Dumbledore was on a secret mission involving a victory over You-Know-Who.

The mysterious man may have noticed this, so he used false information to lure Dumbledore there.

Sainz sucked his teeth after reading it, "Hiss~ Don't say it, although what he said has nothing to do with the actual situation, it is strangely all the truth. Now it's time for Lao Fu to take the blame!"
