The dazzling flash lights came on one after another, taking pictures of Lucius holding the little Squib girl. The shorthand quills in the hands of a dozen reporters quickly recorded Lucius's words.
Cheers sounded one after another.
When the Squibs and the wizards who came specially to support the Squibs heard Lucius's words, they were shocked at first, and then fell into ecstasy.
"Hail! Malfoy!"
"Hail! Long live the generosity and kindness of the Malfoy family!"
The movement here immediately spread to the Ministry of Magic.
The Minister of Magic was startled when he heard the shouting from outside. He almost thought that these squibs had rioted and were coming to attack the Ministry of Magic.
If such a bad incident occurs on his watch, no matter what the outcome of the incident is, he will definitely be labeled as incompetent.
His political opponents will not let him go, and neither will the angry people.
"Am I going to resign like this and go back to the country to live a leisurely life of doing nothing? No, no, damn it!"
The Minister of Magic's eyes were bloodshot, but then he heard cheers from the members of the Ministry of Magic outside the office.
"Oh my God! Malfoy is willing to take over the Squib thing!"
"Yes, they pure-blooded nobles have piled up so much gold in Gringotts! The Malfoy family's properties are everywhere. If he is willing to take over, that will really help us solve a big problem!"
Hearing this, the Minister of Magic's heart suddenly relaxed, and he even lost all strength. He stumbled backwards and sat down in his chair.
Huff, huff, his breathing was extremely heavy, and his whole body was in the ecstasy of surviving a desperate situation.
"Malfoy, that's very helpful."
There was soon a knock on his office door.
Several of his confidants came in: "Mr. Minister, regarding the Malfoy family's placement of squibs..."
"Many of these squibs are unidentified. They should have been born in some remote wizarding settlements and have not left any records at St. Mungo's Hospital."
"Should we first find out the identities of those squibs before proceeding?"
A Ministry of Magic official added.
"And this time, something feels very wrong."
"It seems that there is a force behind it that wants to carry out some conspiracy through these dumb guns."
The Minister of Magic sneered.
"Conspiracy? Only someone with a broken brain would believe that there is no one behind these dumb guns."
"But they are just tools."
"Oh, what threat can a group of squibs without magic pose? The people behind them want to take advantage of the public opinion caused by the squibs."
"As for their goals..."
The Minister of Magic's eyes were very cold.
"Let the Squib sit quietly outside. Haha, this is putting the Ministry of Magic on the fire."
"If Lucius Malfoy hadn't happened to come over today and be surrounded by these squibs and help us get out of the siege, otherwise we would be the first to be unlucky."
"This matter has not passed yet. Don't do anything to those squibs. They are just being used. Don't draw fire to us again."
"Leave Malfoy to place the dumb guns. No department is allowed to set up a jam. He must place the dumb guns as quickly as possible."
"As for the investigation... you should arrange a few people to investigate. Don't use Scrimgeour's Aurors, and don't use people related to the Order of the Phoenix."
"How long has Scrimgeour been working in the Auror office? With such a high reputation, it is inevitable that he will want to be the Minister of Magic.
As for Dumbledore... Well, no Minister of Magic should be wary of him. I don't know how many people are looking forward to him becoming the Minister of Magic. "
"Don't let go of other suspects. Let me check them all secretly to see who wants me to step down."
……
the next day.
The Daily Prophet took the rare step of devoting an entire page to a photo.
In the photo, Lucius Malfoy is squatting on the ground, holding a little Squib girl, with an expression of aristocratic pride struggling with humanity in his eyes.
Since the photos of the wizarding world are animated gifs, the Daily Prophet also gave just the right close-ups of Lucius's eyes. The combination of the two perfectly conveyed Lucius's changes in mood to all readers.
Coupled with the handsome appearance inherited from the Malfoy family, Lucius's appearance in the newspaper was even more eye-catching than a star, which further enhanced the lethality of this photo to the extreme, making countless witches scream.
Below the photo are also attached the comments about Lucius from the most famous wizards.
"This is one of the greatest scenes I've ever seen, and Mr. Malfoy's actions completely reversed my stereotype of him."
"There is no doubt that the kindness in human nature has overcome the pride of nobility. Mr. Malfoy bent down for a squib girl, which made his character soar to the sky at this moment."
"The man least likely to do charity did the most expensive charity. Such is the greatness of human nature that we undoubtedly misunderstood him."
"As we all know, Mr. Malfoy has some stains that are difficult to erase, but a prodigal never comes back with gold. We should look at him with a more tolerant eye."
"Some people say that Malfoy is fake charity, but I want to say that if what he did is true, whether it is true or false, he did a great thing."
Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic also gave Malfoy's behavior high praise.
Dumbledore said that when it comes to solving the educational problem of Squibs, the professors at Hogwarts may be able to provide some teaching experience so that Squibs can have skills in the wizarding world.
The Minister of Magic also said that the Ministry of Magic will do its best to provide some policy support to ensure the smooth progress of the Squib placement project.
At this time, in Malfoy Manor, Lucius looked at the Daily Prophet with a smile on his lips.
"I can now provide several properties to house these squibs. Our personnel can be mixed among them. The Ministry of Magic has passed a letter to me, and they will not have any procedures to hold us back."
"Next, I will arrange for them to receive some basic knowledge training so that these squibs can do some simple tasks."
"Then we can build shops and other industries for them all over the magical world. Then we will have an excuse to build floo networks, portkeys and other channels. Then it will be much more convenient to transport people or things in."
Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. The organization can support you partially."
Lucius waved his hand, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"I get it now."
"Sometimes, you save so many assets just to use them."
"I have already planned to arrange a wave of reports after a while to reveal how many galleons the Malfoy family spent on installing the dumb cannons, and how much the family assets have shrunk. By then, the reputation of the Malfoy family will be It’s really at its peak.”
"By that time, the organization will have a complete foothold in the magical world."
