All things are three at Hogwarts

All the armed forces lined up neatly in front of the temple door. At the order of the leader Albert, all the armed forces, including the tall giants, uniformly took a step to the right with their right legs and put their hands behind their backs. When the Minister of Magic Owen walked out with his son Alan and the others and sat on the seats arranged at the press conference, the originally noisy venue fell silent.

Owen cast a loud voice spell using silent and wandless skills. After briefly expressing his welcome, Owen's next steps caused a commotion: "The Ministry of Magic has always been committed to maintaining the peace and stability of the British wizarding community and doing its best to serve the people. Provide protection. In the entire European wizarding world after the return of the mysterious man, we Aurors have ensured that Britain is the safest place. However, in order to better maintain law and order and make up for the shortage of Aurors in this attack, the protective umbrella The company's armed forces will assist the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to maintain law and order and jointly protect the safety of the magical world."

"Minister Harris! Aurors have gone through various rigorous examinations and trainings. They can only take up their posts after passing the examination. Isn't it rigorous enough for the armed forces of the Umbrella Company to assist Aurors in handling affairs?"

"Umbrella companies are private companies after all. If we mix them with official forces, is this suspected of infringing on public rights?"

"If the Umbrella Company enjoys the power of Aurors, is it considered a private use of public power? And as far as I know, many members of the Umbrella Company are from abroad... Will this cause a more serious security problem?"

"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 during extraordinary times. But don't worry, the security personnel provided by the protective umbrella to the Ministry of Magic do not have administrative law enforcement powers. They only assist Aurors in maintaining security. And All work must be carried out under the leadership of at least one professional armed Auror. In addition, Umbrella security personnel will not wear the Auror logo. Their uniforms still have the Umbrella company logo, which is easy for everyone to distinguish..." Owen Harris also Without getting offended by the reporters' increasingly pointed questions, he patiently explained the status and authority of the Umbrella Corporation's armed forces in assisting the Aurors.

The discussion in the audience was not as sharp as those of the reporters. A gentle wizard puffed up his chest and analyzed with reason: "Although those reporters' questions sound reasonable, in fact, since Minister Harris came to power, our Public security has obviously improved. Terrorist attacks often occur in other countries, but we do not have them here. Ultimately, it is because of the Ministry of Magic and these patrolling Aurors, and those Death Eaters dare not show their faces."

"I think since the number of patrols has increased, the frequency of patrols will definitely increase. This makes me feel safe. Since the Auror reform, there have been a lot less thefts, disputes and quarrels..." A middle-aged man The witch hugged her child and echoed, "Let me tell you, the Umbrella Company has provided so many armed forces to maintain law and order, and the cost is probably not small... Isn't the Harris family using their own money to protect the magical world? I don't know what they are doing. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Why do these people always seize on the minor problems of the Ministry of Magic? Do they have any grudge against the Ministry of Magic? This is too harsh..."

"Do you still remember the big change in the Ministry of Magic last year? I guess it is another dirty political struggle between these pure-blood families. Maybe behind them are the pure-blood families who were kicked out of the Ministry of Magic... and they are deliberately seeking revenge..." Looking at the scene Falling into chaos, the gentle wizard from before looked at the others' expressions of enlightenment following his words. He was quite pleased with himself, shook his coat, and stood up straighter, "I can't control how they fight, but This is a good measure to make my life safer..."

A few ordinary wizards who were eating off-season watermelon that had been ripened by magic unconsciously nodded in agreement. They originally thought they had no feelings about the struggle among the upper class, but they were happy to hear about this measure. This resonated with many civilian wizards. After all, The more forces surrounding security, the theoretically safer they are.

In fact, like the pure-blood families, Owen also placed some of himself in the audience to guide public opinion, but the difference is that this time he did not use someone like Rita Skeeter, who was entangled with other pure-bloods. Professionals such as these confront reporters head-on. As long as they get entangled, it will appear that the Ministry of Magic is incompetent no matter what. Therefore, Irving just asked Harris's people to say something at the critical moment to make the incident more controversial. After all, these upper-level battles have nothing to do with the melon-eating wizards. As long as they see the benefits they can get from these measures, they will naturally not be a problem.

Then taking the opportunity, Owen announced the casualties caused by the devil's attack on Hogsmeade and the specific rescue measures to the media present. As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters raised their hands for a rare opportunity to ask questions.

"Minister Harris, does this attack prove that the Ministry of Magic still has lapses in maintaining security? What subsequent measures will the Ministry of Magic take?"

"Has the Ministry of Magic investigated the person behind this? Can it be announced to the wizards?"

"Did the Ministry of Magic not get any information about the devil's attack? This should be considered a major intelligence omission. How can the Ministry of Magic make up for its own mistakes? Is this the rumor that Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, was excluded and did not receive any information? Is it related to sufficient command authority?”

"Ensuring and maintaining the security of the magical world is the first responsibility of the Ministry of Magic and relevant functional departments. The Ministry of Magic cannot blame the other party's strength and cunning. With such a report, is the government suspected of evading responsibility and prevarication? In this regard, , what does Secretary Harris think?”

……

The cameramen focused their lenses on Irving, and the flashlights worn by the old-fashioned cameras continued to explode and smoke. They did not miss the slightest change in the expression on the other person's face.

In response to these sharp questions, Owen Harris remained calm and calm: "Thank you for your questions. As for the person behind the scenes, who is still under investigation, but according to the on-site surveillance, Beyer's own confession and the road at the scene People's testimonies... I'm sorry to say that according to the information we have so far, although the specific identity is still under investigation and confirmation, it is indeed some pure-blood families in our British magical world who have connections with the devil and even mysterious people behind the scenes. Being involved in this attack... I think this is a serious act of betrayal, and our Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate this matter rigorously. We will not unjustly accuse any innocent person, and of course we will not let go of any participant in the attack."

As well-informed pure-blood families, they were very angry when they heard that Owen Harris clearly knew that the devil's attack was caused by the mysterious man and the Death Eaters, but used the devil's words to pour this basin of sewage on their heads. I really want to bring down the Harris family, but this matter really has nothing to do with them. In fact, if it weren't for the return of the mysterious man, if it weren't for them being more afraid of this even crazier Dark Lord, if it weren't for Dumbledore and them Years of more open and covert fighting and his old age have made these purebloods think that if the current situation required Allen's existence, they would have launched a stronger counterattack, instead of still expecting to compromise with each other like they are now.

"Slander! This is slander!" A young wizard waved his arms angrily: "Minister Harris, you and I both know that a real pure-blood family would not even bother to do such a thing! What's more, killing two little witches is a huge blow to the pure blood of Britain. There is no benefit to the blood? Doesn’t the Ministry of Magic even have the ability to find out the truth?”

"Sorry, sir, I just told the truth about what we investigated. In fact, I am also very sorry about this. You must know that my family, my wife's family, is also a member of the British pure blood. I am not responsible for what happened." This kind of thing is deeply saddening... As a father, I am also very angry. I think the person behind this devil wants my son to be stimulated and corrupted... If they succeed..." Owen looked very sad and looked hurt. Looking aggrieved, he turned around and waved to the audience, "The reason why the Ministry of Magic has not released this video before is because we are not yet sure of the specific description of the devil, but we did not expect that many family-owned media responded faster than the Prophet. The daily newspaper is even faster..."

Soon, the TV at the makeshift press conference showed a surveillance video of Bayer speaking at that time: "...you must know that your pure-blood families from the UK have offered me something that I can't refuse. Tribute…”

I heard what Bayer said with my own ears and saw the situation at that time. I thought that although the devil's words were untrustworthy, they never tell lies. In addition, coupled with the recent interests of the pure-blood family and the Harris family, and these pure-blood families, The performance of the Blood Family, so even though they know that it is their nature for the devils to deliberately provoke others, many people already believe that they may not have anything to do with this attack.

"Minister Harris, would you rather believe what a devil says than believe in our families who have been rooted in the UK for many years?" The young wizard shouted loudly. He heard the whispers coming from around him and saw some people There was a suspicious look on his face, and the veins on his forehead were clearly visible.

Under his leadership, many troublemakers echoed, clamoring that the Ministry of Magic was incompetent and would rather believe the devil's one-sided words. But compared to the population of mixed-blood and Muggles, their numbers were not large enough after all. These remarks did not undermine the discussion just now. The controversy brought about by Duan Zifing temporarily plunged the scene into chaos.

"I would like to ask Minister Harris, if there is such an opponent that cannot be quickly solved by Aurors alone, what should we as ordinary wizards do?" A reporter with a gray beard used the hand holding a pen to help him. Glasses, expertly changed the subject of the argument and pointed the target at the Ministry of Magic's weaknesses exposed in this incident, "As far as I know, even the Aurors were unable to contact the headquarters during this attack. Then As ordinary people, if we encounter this kind of situation, who should we expect to help us? I think even with the selfless dedication of the Harris family, this cannot solve the problem that the Ministry of Magic highlighted in the Hogsmeade attack. Regarding the problem, can’t Mr. Alan Harris also participate in patrols everywhere? Please forgive me for being rude... I think even if he participates in patrols, it will not solve this problem.”

This reporter is Dempster Wigswader. He originally worked in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. He was also an advisory columnist for the Daily Prophet, answering questions related to the law. Later, after the duel between Alan and the mysterious man, Harry Before and after Si officially came to the stage, he lost his original status. It was not until recently that the battle between the purebloods and Harris heated up that he was allowed to use his talents by the purebloods who accepted him.

"Wiggleswader, you raised this question very well. Another thing to be announced next is related to this. Now my heir, Alan Harris, will announce that this is his decision." Irving used He pointed at his youngest son.
