"Amelia, you look very rosy, which is really delightful. Hi, Augusta, long time no see..." Dumbledore came over with Lupin and the others, greeting Mrs. Longbottom and the others enthusiastically.

After a brief greeting, McMillan quickly gave up the spot for Tonks, who was wearing a belly, and Amelia Bones began preparing snacks and black tea for the pregnant woman before Mrs. Longbottom spoke.

Dumbledore, smiling, refused the candy bag handed over by Algi, and lowered his staff head and pulled out a long, somewhat curved brown pipe from the staff head.

Then Dumbledore gently stirred the pipe with the stem of the pipe without any extra sugar, but he did not retract it. Instead, he raised the staff with his prosthesis, rubbed the bucket of the pipe directly at the tip of the staff, and then rubbed the rainbow-colored smoke from the ground. Each section was interwoven by different colors, and the pipe was easily lit.

"Albus, when did you get used to smoking? Smoking is not good for your health." Mrs. Longbottom's pointed nose raised, and the corners of her mouth on both sides turned down in disagreement, "It will turn your lungs into black, making you cough so much that you have to drink cough water..."

Dumbledore patiently waited for the old lady to finish her sentence, then raised the cigarette pole and put it in her mouth to suck it comfortably. Then, colorful and changing smoke rings appeared from the pipe, and swayed in the air for a few times before floating away: "Augusta, it seems that you don't like shopping? The new products of this new candy store in the pipe commercial square... The smoke that comes out is sweet, and these smoke will not enter my lungs, but will only enter my stomach... The concentrated sweetness is very palatable..."

"But Dumbledore..." Lupin said helplessly, "The therapist asked you to eat less candy... You can tolerate it, but Mr. Grindelwald looks a little fat again recently..."

"So I didn't use sugar bags." Dumbledore explained with a smile - in fact, the few times he stirred with pipe sugar just now made his cup of tea sweeter than everyone here.

"Then... Albus..." Amelia Bones adjusted her monocle, "We want to talk about the goblins and Harris recently..."

"They are very smart." Tonks pondered for a moment and sorted out his own language. "After two failures of rebellion, they have already had a correct understanding of the power of the wizards... Although I am on vacation, my colleagues told me that the goblins cooperated very well and obeyed the verdict of the Ministry of Magic, and there was no abnormal movement in the Guling Pavilion."

"Actually, I think Amelia and the others are not the Gringotts of England." Dumbledore helped his crescent-shaped glasses.

"Yes, that's exactly what we're worried about." The vulture hat on Mrs. Longbottom's head pointed downwards. "I heard that some countries saw the benefits of British magic circles after controlling the economy, were blinded by the huge interests of Britain, and did not seriously consider the situation of their own country, and seemed to have the intention to imitate it."

Mr. McMillan's feet were lit rhythmically on the ground: "A powerful magic world like the United States and France can still try it. Those Ministry of Magic, whose strength and economy are weak and weak... If you only care about these benefits, never consider your own strength at all, and just follow the United Kingdom, it may bring national turmoil."

"Albus, although we have become members of the review committee..." Amelia turned her head and rubbed her frowning forehead, "but the world now makes me increasingly unable to understand..."

"Let's just point it out." Mrs. Augusta Longbottom looked at Dumbledore without a moment, "Albus, now the Dark Lord himself and even the British magic world can no longer make a fuss... We have been supporting you and your Order for justice and peace in the magic world. Can you give us some guidance now... Should we support Harris' actions towards the goblins and other countries? What exactly do they want to do..."

Yipeng and Tonks looked at each other, and he realized the purpose of these pure blood.

Since Dumbledore had to leave Hogwarts and experienced the Harry transfer incident, he has no conflict with Harris recently, and now he is basically in a leisurely state of semi-retirement... Now because of Grindelwald's relationship, he has become closer to Harris. These pure bloods are not regarded as real ally by Harris and lack intelligence - although they are traditional pure blood, they have always been more righteous and traditional, so they want to make some Harris' plans to prevent their family from participating in too much, and this does not prevent them from wanting to make profits for their family in a reasonable way.

"To be honest, I have always been dissatisfied with some of Harris's...mainly Alan Harris's ideas, but after retirement, I observed and determined that the right path was not just one." Dumbledore held the staff with a skinny hand, leaned it on the ground and took a sip of the smoke sugar in his pipe. "I'm too conservative and have no confidence to do it as Alan, that's because I'm old... His style is different from mine. I used to think he was wrong, but now it seems that he has not made any mistakes... so this may be my fault.

He is very young, this is something I don't have... Maybe that's the reason... In short, the situation in the British magic world now... is something I have never expected in my best idea before." He put down his pipe and said seriously, "So if you want to ask me about my opinion, I certainly support Harris and support them to let the wizards control their own economic lifeline... As long as this process does not cause such great turmoil in the magic world, it is not exchanged for many sacrifices, I will definitely support... This is what we wizards need, right?"

"I think you heard... there are some other countries now..." Amelia saw Dumbledore expressing her attitude and expression more solemnly. "The Bones family did make a profit with the help of the Ministry of Magic, but Albus, you know our worries..."

Mrs. Longbottom stared at Dumbledore with her lips pursed. She understood Dumbledore's thoughts. He saw an opportunity to achieve his long-cherished wish in the transaction cooperation between Harris' Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government. In addition to solving the Dark Lord, Dumbledore's greatest wish is probably to give more fair treatment to the wizards in the magic world.

"To be honest, it's fine to hand over those precious and rare magic to the little wizards of mixed-blood and Muggle-born, but now they have turned Muggle into wizards..." Algi Longbotton grabbed his head and complained in a rough voice, "It's like magic is worth nothing..."

"Argi!" Mrs. Longbaton immediately scolded him sternly.

"You can feel it when you stay near the temple, right?" Tonks shook his gorgeous purple hair, his head turned to the right and looked confused, "So should everyone focus on supporting Ravenclaw and the others in fighting the God of Death? I mean, at least you shouldn't cause trouble for them even if you don't do anything, right?"

"In fact, there will not be too many people who are transformed every year, right?... This kind of ritual is very consuming... After all, it has changed the reality..." Lupin looked at himself and knew that he was wrong and a little timid. "I think everyone has feelings about economic and life issues. I don't need to say more. Let me tell you my own feelings... Now many arewolves are willing to go to the registration office to register. The Ministry of Magic is really helping us live in the magic world, plus those new drugs... The number of infections every year is almost ignored. After our people are not in this world, I think it may completely disappear if we don't do it well. The Ministry of Magic controlled by Harris has indeed benefited the magic world."

"This is exactly what makes me really happy. Compared to what I originally thought, the Harris family is actually much more selfless than everyone thought." Dumbledore touched his long beard and said easily, "They are indeed selfish, but who can really do it? The Harris and others really intend to help other countries establish their own wizard banks... not to open their own Harris wizard banks to other countries to become a new monopoly, but to help other countries establish their own banks..."

"In the business with Muggles, we did not use the advantages of magic to squeeze and harsh those Muggles, but wanted to achieve a win-win situation." Mixed-blooded Tonks echoed, "Magicizing those Muggles makes our quality of life much better than a few years ago, right?"

The pure bloods are a little silent. Because of their conflicts with traditional concepts, their conservative attitude towards these things makes them a little awkward and uneasy even if they seem to be Harris' ally.
