Chapter 1034 Burnt Offering

 Chapter 1035 Eagle over London

The Department of Mysteries is upstairs above the trial room. To leave by elevator, everyone must go to this floor.

Calvin Robards had no intention of squeezing into the elevator with others. He came to the curtain of the Death Hall alone, as if listening to the whispers inside.

Harry felt extremely uncomfortable when he came here.

The last time he witnessed Sirius' death here, even to this day, the traces of the battle at that time are still preserved, as if the past ten years have had no impact on this place.

"Oh, you're here, Harry." The head of the Auror Office turned around and looked at him with a smile. His attitude was completely different from the one he had in the parliament before.

"I can explain."

"You don't need to explain anything to me, Mr. Director, you just made it very clear at the table." Calvin calmly turned his gaze to the curtain. "I actually don't agree with treating werewolves as pests."

"Then why did you say that just now?"

"People's bottom line is always declining, and people in the Wizengamot like compromises. Muggle Prime Minister Churchill once said, 'When the eagle is silent, the parrot begins to chirp.' You have many opportunities in life.

You can keep your mouth shut, but it was not the time to shut up just now. I gave a bottom line, they discussed it, and then we got the result we wanted."

"We?" Harry asked confused.

"Don't you support war with werewolves, Harry? Do you also think you should listen to Robert and meet their conditions?"

"No……"

"Are you scared?" Calvin looked at Harry with gray eyes. "I understand that the last time the Death Eaters attacked Hogwarts, even if they were bitten by a werewolf, they would not turn into a werewolf. This time it is different..."

"I'm not afraid of this!" Harry said impatiently, "You know I am the godfather of Remus Lupin's son!"

"Do you want to be a good godfather?"

"Remus Lupine sacrificed a lot for the Second Wizarding War, including his own life, and he was awarded a medal."

"You mean, you don't want his sacrifice to become meaningless because of our hostile relationship with werewolves?"

"Professor Snape's Order of Merlin has been revoked. He is more qualified to be awarded the Order than anyone else."

"Even you, right? Mr. Harry Potter, you have been refusing the award, and so are your two friends."

"I don't need it." Harry said every word. "There are many people who are more qualified to receive the medal than me."

"For example, Minerva McGonagall, I heard that she is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, so is she a member of Dumbledore's Army?"

"No, she's not," Harry said. "Fudge's suggestion that Principal Dumbledore was planning to commit rebellion is nonsense."

"Why do you care so much about Snape's award?" Calvin narrowed his eyes. "Because he has always loved your mother?"

"I just think he's been treated unfairly because of his status as a Death Eater," Harry gasped. "Just like I'm worried you'll treat Remus unfairly because of his status as a werewolf."

"Justice?" Calvin curled his lips, "Let me tell you what justice means. Aurors have always been engaged in the most dangerous work, but their treatment is far inferior to those who sit next to big people and write paperwork in the office. You

I have met Moody, what do you think he looks like? The job of Auror is not something that a pampered young man can accomplish, but some people's starting point is higher than the end point of our life's struggle. We are not afraid, but they are worried about the war.

Scared, can you tell me why?"

Harry was confused.

"The Werewolf Office is also on the fourth floor." Calvin was so agile that he jumped down from the stone. "I remember that McLaggen was one year older than you. He repeated the grade for a year before graduating. Now he is the director of the Goblin Liaison Office, and

Your friend, the famous Hermione Granger, is still staying in a cramped office in the Logistics Department with a group of house elves."

"Hermione is fulfilling her dream."

"The liberation of house elves." Calvin walked slowly in front of Harry. "Perhaps for those of you who have returned from the Muggle world, today's wizards are very bully, but in the Middle Ages we were in

In a besieged situation, the wizard's enemies were not only dark wizards, but also goblins, centaurs, giants and elves. In that war, the elves lost to the wizards. They signed an armistice and became vassals of the wizards. Now even the goblins

You dare to go around with a magic wand to cause trouble. You just went out, what did she say to you?"

"Nothing." Harry said defensively.

Calvin was stunned for a moment, then sighed tiredly.

"I'm sorry, Harry. I just think it's unfair. There are so many upright and brave people who have paid so much for this world and the Ministry of Magic, but they don't get the rewards they deserve."

"Because they are 'human beings', right, and they don't have a criminal record?"

"I'm exhausted physically and mentally just from working with these people. I can't be like you." Calvin looked at Harry bitterly. "You may think that I am too partial to my subordinates, but if I don't even think about them,

, who cares about them? They are not the death toll in the battle report. I remember their names and family members, just like I am familiar with your family situation."

"Since you understand this injustice, why do you still support them in taking away Professor Snape's medal?"

"He cannot receive the Order of Merlin, First Class." Calvin said expressionlessly.

"Why?"

"Because many people were dissatisfied, he betrayed his own people to gain the trust of the mysterious man, just like Peter Pedillo."

"That's different!"

"You can't always have your wishes come true, Harry, even if you are the savior of the wizarding world."

"I'm not the savior!" Harry said excitedly.

"This is not your decision." Calvin said softly, "This is the will of the people. You even almost replaced Kingsley as the Minister of Magic. Even the Director of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic could not shirk the responsibility. People believe that

You can handle the problem 'fairly', I think they did not see the wrong person, you are fighting for honor for a sinner and a werewolf."

"That's what they deserve." Harry clenched his fists and looked at Calvin without blinking.

"I know you are an eagle that will never be silent." Calvin said with a smile, "But you should know that shouting loudly like just now in the judgment seat will not make those 'parrots' stay quiet. You have to use some methods and methods.

.”

Harry was stunned.

"Forget about Severus Snape's Order of Merlin, First Class, but you can apply for him to receive the Order of Merlin, Second Class, in the name of his contribution to potions. As for Remus Lupin

We need to plan carefully for the medal, I have a lot of boys who are as qualified as him to be awarded the medal."

"Oh..." Harry didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You are the Director of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic and an Auror. Harry, if you really want to integrate into us." Calvin pressed Harry's shoulder and looked into Harry's eyes. "Now, I

As the director, I ask you, what did Hermione Granger say to you in the corridor just now?"

"She talked to me about Remus," Harry said shakily. "She also said that Albus Dumbledore made a mistake because he tried to turn a werewolf into a human."

"Then what do you think?"

"Remus shouldn't deny his werewolf identity." Harry said with some vulnerability, "It's like Voldemort denying his half-blood identity."

"Don't say that name," Calvin said immediately.

"If Remus acted like a real werewolf, he wouldn't have to feel the pain of hurting others!" Harry seemed to be caught in some emotion and said excitedly, "He can't bear to hurt others. Not every werewolf can."

Like Fenrir Greyback, who enjoys hurting people, Director!"

"Is there anything else?" Calvin said tiredly and disgustedly.

Harry shook his head repeatedly, "That's all, she also reminded me of those Aurors who were injured in the battle."

Calvin breathed a sigh of relief, "Good boy, you did a great job, everyone will be grateful to you."

"I don't need their gratitude."

Calvin laughed.

"It's already very late. Go back and rest early, Harry."

"What about you? Director?"

"I still want to stay and prepare a battle plan."

"Then I..."

"Go back and wait for the notice." Calvin interrupted Harry, "You have a family now, Harry Potter. You know the Auror rules. The most dangerous tasks should be given to those who are not burdened by a family."

Harry's eyes flickered for a moment and he turned around and walked away.

"By the way, Director." Harry didn't take more than two steps when he suddenly stopped and said to Calvin, "My scar is starting to hurt again."

"When the weather changes, the scars will itch or hurt." Calvin said nonchalantly, "Everyone who has been injured knows this."

"You mean..."

"This is completely normal. Don't scare yourself. The mysterious man has left and he will not come back." Calvin said while looking at the curtain.

Harry looked at the back of the Director of the Auror Office, who had been appointed by Stringer and had not been replaced under the control of the pure-bloods, and had been re-elected, without making a sound, and left the Death Hall with a cold face.

And Calvin's expression became even more grim after Harry left. With his vulture-like eyes, he looked like a gargoyle squatting on the eaves.

In addition to being decorative, the grotesque gargoyles also serve as warnings to warn people to stay away from hell, although some gargoyles themselves are devil-shaped.
