Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 1128: Scheduled Headline Interview

? Outside the window of the minister's office, it looks bright and sunny.

Of course, I mean, this bright sun may also be limited to the window of the Ministry of Magic.

Since the magic part is deep underground, it is impossible to open a regular window to see it.But if the staff work in a blinding environment all day, at least it is certainly not good for physical and mental health.

Therefore, almost every window of this underground building of the Ministry of Magic has been enchanted, and the weather of each day is basically determined by the Ministry’s Magic Maintenance Department.

According to an informed source, Arthur Weasley, there was a hurricane that blew outside the windows of the Ministry of Magic for a period of two months last year, and this was only because the maintenance staff wanted to raise their wages.

However, even if their wages have not yet risen, they dare not easily change the weather outside the window recently anyway.

After all, the work pressure in certain departments of the Ministry during this period is really not small, especially our Minister of Magic, Mr. Scrimgeour.

"Oh, the weather on your windows is really good today. I even want to put a spell on my room. I think you all know that even the air outside is a bit sticky at the moment. It's raining!"

Maca sat on the sofa, calmly sipping a cup of coffee that Scrimgeour's secretary had just brought him, while drinking it while looking at him, it seemed that he didn't want to turn to the topic so quickly.

And Kingsley on the side listened and said with a bit of humility:

"Mr. McLean, you probably don't know-the ministry has been living tight all day, and if there is a haze outside the window, it will be even harder for everyone!"

Although many people have actually realized that Kingsley and Maca are secretly related, but on the surface, they still have to pretend to each other.

Otherwise, from the standpoint of Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic, he would be a bit too embarrassed.

"Really?" Maca chatted with Kingsley very cooperatively. "Mr. Scrimgeour... If there is any need for help, even if you tell me, it is also our British magical community to do our best for the Ministry of Magic. What all wizards should do!"

"Uh... well, it would be great if you could have such an awareness!"

Scrimgeour almost took it seriously after hearing Maca's high-sounding rhetoric.

Fortunately, he soon realized that the other party was just saying some pretty things in front of the female reporter of the "Prophet Daily", so that he didn't make a joke at the beginning.

Obviously, although Maca does not seem to have brought the topic to today's business at all, the interview has actually begun.

In fact, given that reporters are also human, it is impossible to strictly observe industry standards and maintain eternal objectivity.Therefore, before the interview, ordinary small talk is a good opportunity to leave a specific impression on the other party.

"Miss Braithwaite," as he was speaking, Maca suddenly turned to the tall female reporter again, smiling relaxedly, "I have to trouble you with one thing, please tell you Mr. Gufei, the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Prophet", said that I am very happy to see the latest report from your newspaper every morning! Well, I will remember to pay from next year!"

"Oh, it's nothing...For your wealth, if you want to, paying for hundreds of years is just a trivial matter!"

To be worthy of being a reporter, Betty reacted quickly to this little joke by Maca.

Moreover, from her tone, it can be heard that the "Daily Prophet" still respects Maca, the youngest outstanding wizard in contemporary Britain.

Yes, at least Betty's response was obviously more cautious than the previous conversation with Scrimgeour.

It's just that Maca can also perceive from the other party's agreement that this female reporter mentioned his worth consciously or unconsciously, obviously not by accident.

"Well, do you want to show me the investigative ability of their newspaper reporters?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Maca nodded quietly, rather clearly.

If it is said that the sales of potions products he did were almost all done on the black market in the past, only now because of the turmoil of the black market, part of them turned to the bright side.

Although the level of confidentiality will inevitably be reduced accordingly, this matter is not something that anyone can find out.

"Then borrow your auspicious words, I hope I can live for a hundred years!"

Maca shrugged not very much, and replied meaningfully.But his words actually alluded to his fight with Haierbo. It is still unknown who died and who lived.

After all, judging from the normal lifespan of a wizard, it is usually not a problem to live past ninety years old. People at the level like Maca and Dumbledore will even live longer because of the active magic.

But the premise must be nothing unexpected.

Betty seemed to have tasted the probing before Maca's interview.When she heard Maca's meaningful words, she couldn't help but smile, politely and without failing to maintain a sitting posture, and leaned slightly:

"Mr. McLean joked, but a hundred years is probably nothing to a wizard like you. Think about Mr. Albus Dumbledore, if it weren't for..."

Betty did not finish her sentence, but the attitude she wanted to express was already very clear.It seems that the "Daily Prophet" seems to be more optimistic about Maca's final victory, even if they don't expect to stand in the team easily.

"Maybe!"

After figuring out the attitude of the female reporter and the newspaper behind her, Maca finally raised her eyebrows, then turned her head and smiled at Scrimgeour.

"Mr. Minister, I think this interview should begin now! It must be said that none of the people present here are really not busy. If we hurry up and finish what we should do, we can continue to work on ourselves. It's up!"

Scrimgeour heard this and couldn't help but muttered to himself:

"It's not that you are dragging time."

But naturally he didn't dare to say this. He immediately straightened the front tie, and then straightened his waist and gestured to the female reporter:

"Then, in McLean's words, let's get started!"

The content of this interview is bound to make headlines on the front page of the Daily Prophet.For newspapers, this is a good time to attract eyeballs and increase subscription rates; for the Ministry of Magic, this is another opportunity to guide public opinion and relieve the pressure of work in the Ministry.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is not much benefit to Maca who can show him more face and raise his already high reputation?

However, not only did Kingsley know, even the female reporter Betty had already guessed that Maca must have something else, and there might be some big news in this interview.

Only Scrimgeour, who was thinking of going to the seat under him, still didn't know anything about it.

"Ok, no problem!"

When Betty heard that, she put down the cup in her hand, and took out her shorthand notebook for interviews and the automatic ink quill from the bag next to her.

The photographer sitting beside him was busy holding the magic camera and stood up, ready to take a few more photos and let the editor choose himself.

"Boom!"

Before Betty began to ask, he heard the old-fashioned powder flash suddenly explode, and a cloud of smoke and the light that almost flashed blind people's eyes made everyone blink.

"Oh, Fu Zuo, you can take pictures later-I think some of the generous men here will give you time to take pictures!"

The photographer saw Betty waved to disperse the smoke and stopped himself from taking pictures, so he sat down on the sofa next to him honestly.

"Sorry," Betty saw him sitting down, then turned her head again, "Well, first of all, I have a few small questions here. I need you, Mr. McLean... Oh, and Mr. Scrimgeour for us. Readers answer—"

Most of her "little questions" were already prepared in the newspaper, and maybe even the editor-in-chief specifically asked her to bring them to ask Maca, so she was a little eager for a while.

So that when she spoke, she almost forgot Scrimgeour.

"Excuse me!"

Maca didn't say much, just nodded.

"Then, the first little question--" Betty looked forward to the question before asking after a short pause, "About the recent chaos in the British magical world... such as the underground rally of the dark wizard and the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic. The disappearance of the suspect, etc., Mr. McLean, in your personal opinion...how should we deal with it?"

To be honest, this first "small problem" was tricky.

Of course, the tricky part of this question is not the question itself, but the object of the female reporter's question.

If you directly ask Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic, then this is undoubtedly a regular official question and answer.But Betty didn't mean to ask Scrimgeour. Instead, she asked Maca's personal opinion, which was obviously somewhat intriguing.

Fortunately, Maca is not embarrassed about this, because Dumbledore, who was an outsider, was asked similar questions by the media at the time during the wizarding revolution set off by Greenward.

"Ordinary people have no compulsory obligation to assist Aurors in dealing with dark wizards, and the danger of dark wizards is well known." Maca smiled calmly, "So I personally think, please don't get involved easily. If there is any discovery in these incidents, it is enough to inform the Auror office the first time! You know, I think we can trust the Ministry of Magic to eliminate evil."

Such a remark naturally made it in one go, but Maca knew that this was not the answer that the female reporter Betty wanted.So at the end, he suddenly added:

"As for myself! As a member of the British magical world, I will probably do my part-well, of course I have to guarantee my own safety, haha!"
