Chapter 830 Questions and Answers

All the armed forces were arranged neatly in front of the temple gate. At the command of Albert, the leader, all the armed forces, including those tall giants, took a neat step to the right leg with their right legs and put their hands behind them. When the Minister of Magic Irving took his son Alan and the others out and sat in the seat arranged at the press conference, the originally noisy venue immediately became silent.

Irving used silent and staffless techniques to cast a loud spell. After briefly expressing his welcome, Irving's next measures triggered a clamor: "The Ministry of Magic has been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the British magic world and strives to provide protection for the people. In the entire European magic world after the return of the mysterious man, we Aurors ensured that our UK is the safest place. However, in order to better maintain public order and make up for the insufficient number of Aurors, the armed forces of the Umbrella Company will assist the Ministry of Magic in maintaining public order and jointly protect the security of the magic world."

"Minister Harris! Aurors have undergone various rigorous examinations, trainings, and only after passing the assessment can they take up their posts. Is the armed forces of this protective umbrella company assisting Aurors in handling affairs, is it not rigorous enough?"

"A umbrella company is a private enterprise after all. Is it suspected of infringing on public rights by mixing it with official forces?"

"If the umbrella company enjoys the power of Auror, this is considered to be a private use of public power? And as far as I know, many of the members of the umbrella company are from abroad... Will this cause more serious security problems?"

"Public and private are mixed together, and there is no distinction between public and private. If this continues, where will the next Minister of Magic be placed?"

...

"This is just a necessary measure to better protect everyone's safety in extraordinary times. However, there is no need to worry. The security personnel provided by the Ministry of Magic do not have administrative enforcement powers. They only assist Aurors in conducting public security maintenance work. They must carry out various tasks under the leadership of at least one professional armed Auror. In addition, the security personnel of the Umbrella do not wear the Auror logo. Their uniforms are still the logo of the Umbrella Company, which is easy for everyone to distinguish..." Irving Harris was not angry because of the increasingly sharp questions of these reporters, and patiently explained the status and authority of the armed forces of the Umbrella Company when assisting Aurors.

The discussions in the audience were not as sharp as those reporters. A gentleman witch stood up with a reasonable and well-founded analysis: "Although the problems of those reporters sounded reasonable, in fact, since Minister Harris came to power, our security has obviously improved. Other countries often have terrorist attacks, and we don't have them here. After all, it is because of the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors who inspected, and the Death Eaters dare not show up."

"I think, the number of patrols increases, and the frequency of patrols will definitely increase. This makes me feel safe. Since the Auror reform, even stealing and disputes have been reduced..." A middle-aged witch agreed with her child in her arms, "I want me to say that the Umbrella Protection Company provides so many armed forces to maintain public order, and the expenses are probably not small... The Harris family is paying their own pockets to protect the magic world. I wonder what else are they dissatisfied with? Why do these people keep holding on to the Ministry of Magic? Do they have a grudge against the Ministry of Magic? This is too harsh..."

"I still remember that the Ministry of Magic changed blood last year. I guess it was the dirty political struggle of these pure blood families. Maybe behind them are the pure blood families who were driven out of the Ministry of Magic... who deliberately took revenge..."? Seeing the scene in chaos, the gentle and gentle witch looked at others with a sudden expression as he said. He was quite content and shook his coat and stood straighter. "I can't control what they want, but this measure can make me live safer is a good measure..."

Several ordinary wizards holding off-season watermelons that were ripened with magic, nodding unconsciously. They originally felt that they had no feelings about the struggles of the upper class and were happy with this measure, which resonated with many civilian wizards. After all, the more forces surrounding security, the safer they were theoretically safer.

In fact, like the pure-blooded family, Irving also placed some of his own in the audience to guide public opinion, but the difference is that this time he did not use professionals like Rita Skit, who are entangled with other pure-blooded, to confront journalists head-on. As long as they get entangled, they will seem incompetent, no matter what, Irving just let Harris’s people say something in the audience at critical moments to make the incident more controversial - these upper-level fights have nothing to do with those melon-eating wizards. As long as they see the benefits they can get from these measures, they will naturally not be in trouble.

Then Irving took the opportunity and announced the casualties caused by the devil's attack on Hogsmeade to the media present. As soon as his voice fell, the reporters raised their hands to fight for a rare opportunity to ask questions.

"Secretary Harris, does this attack prove that the Ministry of Magic still has omissions in maintaining security? What measures will the Ministry of Magic take in the future?"

"Have the Ministry of Magic investigated the mastermind behind the scenes? Can it be announced to the wizards?"

"Did the Ministry of Magic not receive any news about the devil's attack? This should be a major intelligence omission. How should the Ministry of Magic make up for its own faults? Is this a rumor that Mr. Rufus Sclinger, director of the Auror office, was excluded and did not gain enough command?"

"It is the first responsibility of the Ministry of Magic and relevant functional departments to ensure and maintain the security of the magic world. The Ministry of Magic cannot blame the other party for its strength and cunning. Is the government suspected of evading responsibility and making excuses for such a notice? What does Minister Harris think about this?"

...

The cameramen pointed the lens at Irving, and the flash of the old-fashioned cameras kept exploding and smoking, and they did not let go of the slightest change in each other's face.

Regarding these sharp questions, Owen Harris remained calm and his voice was calm: "Thank you for your question. Regarding the host behind the scenes, who is still under investigation, but based on the on-site surveillance Ribaier's own confession and the testimony of the passers-by... I am very sorry, the information currently available, although the specific person is still under investigation and confirmation, it is indeed some of our own pure blood families in the British magic circle who are in contact with the devil and even mysterious people behind the scenes and participated in this attack... I think this is a serious betrayal. Our Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate this matter strictly. We will not wrongly accuse any innocent people, and of course we will not let any participants in the attack."

As well-informed pure blood families, I was very angry when I heard that Irving Harris knew that the devil's attack was caused by the mysterious man and the Death Eater, but he used the devil's words to pour the basin of sewage on their heads. They really wanted to pull the Harris family down, but this matter did have nothing to do with them. In fact, if it weren't for the mysterious man's return, if it weren't for the crazier Dark King, if Dumbledore hadn't fought with them for many years and his aging, they would have launched a stronger counterattack, rather than looking forward to compromising with each other like now.

"Slander! This is slander!" A young wizard waved his arms angrily: "Minister Harris, you and I know that the real pure blood family is disdainful of doing such things! What's more, killing two little witches is not of any benefit to the British pure blood? Does the Ministry of Magic have no ability to find out the truth?"

"Sorry, sir, I just told the situation we investigated. In fact, I am very sorry about this. You should know that my family, my wife's family is also a member of the pure blood of the United Kingdom. I am deeply saddened by this happening... As a father, I am also very angry. I think the person behind this devil wants my son to be stimulated and degenerate... If they succeed..." Owen looked very sad, and he looked wronged. He turned his head and waved to the audience. "The reason why the Ministry of Magic did not publish this video before is because we cannot determine the specific description of the devil, but I didn't expect that many media under the family responded faster than the "Prophet Daily"..."

Soon, a surveillance clip of Baier's speech was released on the TV of the temporary press conference: "...You should know that the pure blood families from your native UK have provided me with tributes that I cannot refuse..."

??I heard what Baier said with my own ears. Seeing the situation at that time, I thought that although the devil's words were unreliable, they never told lies. In addition, the recent involvement of the interests of the Pure Blood Family and the Harris Family, and the performance of these Pure Blood families, so even if I know that the Devils deliberately provoked them, many people have believed that this attack may really be inseparable from anything.

"Minister Harris, would you rather believe what a devil says than believe us families who have been rooted in England for many years?" the young wizard shouted loudly. He heard the whispers of sluts coming from his side, saw some people's doubts, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.

Under his leadership, many troublemakers agreed, clamoring that the Ministry of Magic is incompetent and would rather believe the devil's one-sided words - but compared with the mixed-race and Muggle population, their number is not enough. These remarks did not destroy the debate brought by the video just now, which made the scene fall into chaos for a while.

"Minister Harris, what should we do as ordinary wizards if such opponents are not solved quickly by the Aurors alone?" A gray-bearded reporter held his glasses with his pen holding his glasses, and skillfully disconnected the debate topic, pointing directly to the weaknesses revealed by the Ministry of Magic in this incident. "As far as I know, even the Aurors could not contact the headquarters in this attack. So who should we, as ordinary people, rely on to help us if we encounter this situation? I think even with the selfless dedication of the Harris family, this will not solve the problem highlighted by the Ministry of Magic in the Hogsmeade attack. Can you let Mr. Alan Harris participate in patrols everywhere? Please forgive my rudeness... I don't think even if he participates in patrols, it will not solve this problem."

The reporter is Dempster Wiggswald, who originally worked in the Magic Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic and was also a consulting columnist for the Prophet Daily, answering questions related to law. Later, after the showdown between Allen and the Mysterious Man, Harris lost his original position after he officially came to the stage. It was not until recently that the struggle between Pure Blood and Harris became fierce and he was allowed to use his strengths by those who accepted his pure blood.
