v3 Chapter 137： With your face, you must be able to be the Minister of Magic

Under normal circumstances, normal people would treat such an email as spam/scam text/prank, but Amelia Burns, a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Magic, actually believed it!

The reason is simple: the letter is signed without a signature, but has a paw print. The well-informed Amelia Burns recognized at a glance that the footprint was that of a phoenix.

Phoenix, in today's magic world is the symbol of that man.

The meaning of this paw print is self-evident, Dumbledore supports himself to be the Minister of Magic!

Amelia Burns was heartbroken. She knew very well what role Fudge played in the Sirius case. If this were an independent incident, it wouldn't hurt Fudge. He would be very embarrassed, but as a mature politician, Fudge will definitely find a suitable solution.

But the problem is that Fudge obviously has ambitions that he shouldn't have! Amelia Burns could see his little gesture clearly. Clearly, he was trying to remove Dumbledore's influence on the wizarding world.

Burns thought that this kind of thing could be noticed by himself, and Dumbledore couldn't find it for no reason. Dumbledore didn't respond, he just didn't bother to bother with Fudge. More importantly, Dumbledore himself is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is normal for him to be unwilling to get involved in political affairs due to his advanced age.

With such a big reaction this time, it is obvious that Fudge's incompetence has violated his bottom line.

Fudge is not suitable to be the Minister of Magic, so who is more suitable than himself when looking at the entire Ministry of Magic? Barty Crouch? If he didn't have a son, he would definitely be a rival. Unfortunately, he has a Death Eater son. Rufus Scrimgeour? A fool who wants to be Minister of Magic unless You-Know-Who jumps out of the coffin. As for the remaining senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, there is no one who can fight, Ludo Bagman or something, can he be the Minister of Magic? No, not that ability.

He controls the Department of Magic Law Enforcement, his brother is the founder of the Order of the Phoenix, and he has a good relationship with Dumbledore in private. No matter what, it's his turn to be the Minister of Magic!

As the saying goes, officials who don't want to be Minister of Magic are not good wizards. Borns is a good and self-motivated witch. She feels that she can serve British wizards better, so she is very moved.

At the same time, the fat old man became an eyesore in her eyes.

"If you want to, why don't you come to the Pig's Head Bar this noon to chat?"

Looking at the sentence at the end of the letter, Burns made a quick decision, tidied up the desk a little, and left his office.

After a while, a man wrapped in a robe appeared on the streets of Hogsmeade.

The man in the robe was Amelia Burns.

She made a very good disguise, and then came to Hogsmeade. She did not go to places of interest such as the Three Broomsticks and the Joko Joke Shop like other tourists, but came to a dilapidated and desolate bar through a path next to the post office.

The bar's sign shows a severed pig's head, blood soaking through the white cloth that wraps it.

Burns pushed open the door of the bar, and a smell of sheep taint came to his face, and Burns frowned under the burqa. She had not been to such an indecent place for a long time. But she also admitted that such a bar that accommodates people from the three religions and nine classes is a good place to plan secrets.

There were not many customers in the bar, and when they heard the sound of pushing the door, all the customers turned their heads and looked at Burns. But they just glanced away and looked away.

Nothing special, this kind of guy who wraps himself tightly can meet at least ten in a day in the bar.

Bornes hesitated, she didn't know who to contact! That secret letter didn't write the joint plan! So she could only shyly find a table and sit down, and by the way, ordered herself a glass of butterbeer.

But when she saw the dirty beer mug and the rag that was dirtier than the mug, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking a few sips of beer.

Her wait didn't last long, and a man with a strange crown and a face covered by a white mask also came into the bar.

"Two glasses of phoenix, thank you." The masked man walked to the counter and ordered two cocktails. The voice under the mask is very young.

Hearing the word "fire phoenix", Burns immediately raised her head, she understood that the person who met her on behalf of Dumbledore was probably him.

The masked man is Tom. He noticed Mrs. Burns' unusual behavior, but instead of acting rashly, he watched the bartender mix vodka, grapefruit juice, grenadine, and finally add slices of apples decorated with phoenixes on top.

Two small cocktails paid Tom for ten butterbeers.

Tom came to Burns with a cocktail, and Burns understood and followed him to the corner of the bar.

When she came to the corner, she noticed that it seemed like a blind spot where no one could see her, so she took off her hood.

"Please." Tom pushed a cocktail towards Amelia Burns. As Burns took off his hood, Tom observed the high-ranking Ministry of Magic official. She has a peculiarly contoured face, a square chin, short gray hair, and a pair of monocles.

When Tom looked at Burns, Burns was also looking at Tom, but it was a pity that Tom's mask completely covered his face, and she couldn't see Tom's appearance.

The two of them didn't speak, and drank the cocktails in their glasses little by little.

In the end, it was Tom who started the conversation.

"I see your face, you must be able to be the Minister of Magic."

Hearing this Borns couldn't help laughing out loud, "You better take a look, you are still the first person to praise my face."

"No, you can indeed be Minister of Magic, as long as you do a few trivial things."

Bones knew that the drama was coming.

"What is it that makes me the Minister of Magic?" she asked, trying to suppress her excitement, but her fingers that kept tapping on the table betrayed her mood.

"After a while, Minister Fudge should make another mistake, and then you have to stand up and launch an impeachment against him. When he steps down, you can become the new Minister of Magic along the way."

Burns felt that the guy in front of him was talking nonsense. As long as your own impeachment can be of little use, it is not useless at all! Her impeachment is unlikely to drive Fudge out of office—unless there is another force.

Fudge also met Dumbledore while Burns was talking to Tom.
