The day of the duel at Hogwarts

It seems that Scrimgeour really often comes to the Golden Arches to eat, because he is so skilled at ordering and paying. Originally, Scrimgeour wanted to take care of Sean and help him order food, but When he saw Sean ordering food more skillfully than he did, Scrimgeour finally realized something.

"I remember, your parents were Squibs, right? So you actually lived in a Muggle society since you were a child. You have been to this restaurant, right?"

"I can't say that I come here often, but the number of times I come here is definitely not that few. In fact, this restaurant is a chain. There are many not only in the UK, but also in other countries. The food inside is similar. Maybe There are some differences between countries.”

"Then did I invite the wrong restaurant..."

Scrimgeour originally wanted to find a good restaurant, and he did think that the Golden Arches tasted very good. It was a good taste that he had never tasted in the wizarding world, but he ignored Sean's origin.

"It doesn't matter. I haven't eaten in a long time. It's not bad to eat after a long time."

Sitting on an empty seat with a dinner plate, Sean picked up a fries and ate it.

Seeing Sean start eating, Scrimgeour also picked up what he ordered and started eating. It could be seen that he was quite satisfied with the taste of the food at Golden Arches, especially the taste of iced Coke.

No one can resist the temptation of iced Coke!

nobody!

Halfway through the meal, Sean picked up a paper towel and wiped the corners of his mouth and fingers, and asked Scrimgeour, who was sipping ice coke, "Mr. Scrimgeour, I think we can talk about business now."

Before coming to eat, Sean had already changed into ordinary people's clothes, a T-shirt and jeans, while Scrimgeour continued to wear a double-breasted suit and coat. Although it was a bit out of season, there were many people who dressed like this. So Scrimgeour is not too noticeable.

After hearing Sean's words, Scrimgeour wiped the corners of his mouth and fingers, nodded, and said: "Okay, it's really time to talk about business, but before we talk about business, I want to ask you a question."

"Excuse me, Mr. Scrimgeour."

"Sean, is the mysterious man really back? You saw it with your own eyes, right?"

Sean nodded seriously and confirmed: "I saw with my own eyes that the mysterious man came back, and I even fought with the mysterious man. He is really very powerful."

Scrimgeour looked at Sean and couldn't help exhaling a breath that smelled of Coke and Coca-Cola. He said with a complicated expression: "You can survive fighting the mysterious man, even with Beauxbatons and Durmstrang." The help of two warriors, at your age, is enough to prove your ability."

After listening to Scrimgeour's words, Sean had a strange expression.

It seems that people in the wizarding world, even if they think that the mysterious man has returned, do not believe that they are fighting Voldemort alone, but this is good, otherwise the tree will attract trouble.

"So, Mr. Scrimgeour, did you come to me just to ask this question?"

Shaking his head, Scrimgeour said: "Of course not. In fact, I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation... could you please elaborate on this?"

"I know that before Gavin Bursted died... I'm sorry, I know that before he died, he had handed over his network and family's armed forces to you. In fact, the power you have now is already very powerful. .

For example, this time, I can use my influence and network to help you and Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix resolve the Stooges matter, but at the same time you also need to help me connect Dumbledore's network with the Order of the Phoenix. Support me in investigating the Death Eaters within the Ministry of Magic and the specific situation of the mysterious man! "

Sean nodded slowly, looked at Scrimgeour, and said, "Mr. Scrimgeour, why don't you go find Dumbledore?"

"Dumbledore underestimated the role of power. If I cooperated with him, I would definitely not be able to get what I wanted. In fact, even if Dumbledore had faced up to the role of power, he would not be in such an embarrassment today. In a situation where someone in my own organization was framed, I still need to go out to establish relations myself, so I will not cooperate in depth with Dumbledore."

Although Scrimgeour's words were a bit biased and extreme, Sean had to admit that Scrimgeour was basically right. If Dumbledore had faced up to his power and became Minister of Magic, then all the messy things happening now would not be the case. will appear again, and once Voldemort appears, Dumbledore can lead the forces of the Ministry of Magic to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

At that time, with the number and quality of Aurors in the Ministry of Magic, they could directly crush the Death Eaters. Dumbledore could also fight Voldemort with the assistance of a group of Aurors. As for finding Horcruxes, there were also a large number of Aurors who could Help, it's hard to lose in this kind of multi-person tailwind game.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't say anything more. Since Dumbledore didn't want to take this path, he would just let himself take it.

"Of course cooperation is possible, but in order to protect our respective interests, I think the two of us can sign a contract, what do you think?"

At this point, Sean pulled out his wand and cast magic around him, blocking the attention of ordinary people around him. As long as Sean didn't use magic to blow up the store, no one would notice what they were doing or saying. .

After applying the shielding magic, Sean took out a new roll of parchment from the seamless stretch bag. He pointed the wand in his hand at the parchment, and lines of text and terms appeared on the parchment. When the terms were written, Sean He handed the parchment to Scrimgeour.

Looking at the terms on the parchment, Scrimgeour confirmed that the terms were acceptable and the content was very strict. For example, without violating the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, Scrimgeour was not allowed to embarrass Sean's subordinates, etc. After reading it twice, After confirming that there was no problem, Scrimgeour used magic to write his real name on the contract.

Later, when Sean also wrote his real name, the parchment of the contract burned on its own, turned into a plume of white smoke, split into two, fell into the hands of Sean and Scrimgeour, and turned into a feather. The mark slowly disappears under the skin.

After doing this, Scrimgeour and Sean shook hands.

"Do you need me to take you back to Hogwarts?"

Shaking his head, Sean said: "No need, I can do it myself."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll leave."

"Goodbye, Mr. Scrimgeour, and thank you for lunch."

Nodding, Scrimgeour turned and left. Seeing this, Sean also turned and left in another direction. This cooperation was beyond his expectation, and it also refreshed Sean's impression of Scrimgeour.

He was very sure that Scrimgeour must have noticed that he had erased the memory of the Auror sent by Scrimgeour, but he didn't say a word. From this point of view, he didn't look like what Sean imagined. The one in the middle is Fangzheng, which is good news for Sean.

Facing today's Ministry of Magic, Voldemort and the Death Eaters, a Scrimgeour who is too square will not have much effect at all, but a smooth Scrimgeour is completely different.
