Homecoming from Hogwarts

"Let me first inform you of the current situation—"

Amosta did not expect to see enthusiastic speeches in such a public occasion. He looked at the heads of the well-known industrial workshops in the British wizarding world, who were clasping their hands.

"As you can see, there is a demonstration going on here, and the people behind me are the participants--"

Many people followed Brian's gestures and quickly glanced at the workers, most of them with disdain, and then they immediately focused their attention on Brian who was talking freely.

"Just now, while Minister Bones was negotiating with them, two people attacked her. They used their bodies as carriers of dark magic, attempting to kill Minister Bones and severely damage the elite of the Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, all this was prevented -"

Amosta interlaced his fingers on the table in front of him, his tone calm, his eyes restrained,
"Although it has not yet been investigated in detail, it is initially determined that this was an organized and planned terrorist attack."

After saying all this, Amosta shut up and looked quietly at the people at the conference table until they became uneasy.

Narcissa remained expressionless, but she was frowning secretly.

It was hard to say how many people knew about the attack on Bones in advance, but Narcissa could guarantee that those who were questioned with her were all aware of the situation.

She originally thought that Amosta had called them here with great fanfare in order to resolve the problem of large-scale shutdowns in the workshops.

"Excuse me, Mr. Blaine—"

A wizard wearing a black bow tie and looking no more than thirty years old was the first to be unable to withstand the pressure of Amosta's gaze.

He tugged at his tie, breathing heavier.
"There has been a terrorist attack on the Minister of Magic. I think this is something that no one here wants to see, but... you asked the Aurors to 'invite' us here. Excuse me, this is totally unreasonable in my opinion!"

Most of the participants remained silent, with only a few voices of agreement.

"why?"

Amosta tilted his head slightly and looked at this collateral relative of the Greengrass family with interest.

"why?"

The complaining wizard grinned and laughed exaggeratedly, but the beads of sweat rolling down his temples in the sun were enough to prove his nervousness.

"Do you think we were the ones who planned the attack on the Minister of Magic? Otherwise, why did you summon us?"

"That's a reasonable guess isn't it?"

Amosta smiled, looking at the group of people who were anxious to prove their innocence, and said calmly,

"Mr. Callum, I think you heard what I just said. This case has not been investigated yet, but as the owner of the workshop these workers once worked for, it is entirely possible that you are involved in this case, isn't it? This is a reasonable guess—"

"This is a gross slander, Mr. Blaine!"

Callum, a man with a broad face and dry yellow hair, suppressed his anger.

“You cannot accuse us of being involved in the attack on the minister without any evidence!”

After saying that, Callum glanced at the reporters who were taking pictures, his face turning pale.

"Of course the Ministry of Magic won't convict people based on 'speculation' -"

Amosta shook his head slightly.

"I am emphasizing this matter here only to inform you that the Ministry of Magic will not easily let off the heinous criminals who dare to plan an attack on the Minister of Magic.

All suspects will be investigated, and the department will not wrongly accuse good people, and at the same time, will not let the murderer go unpunished."

Narcissa immediately pursed her lips and her heart turned cold.

Except for one or two wizards who knew little about Brian, everyone present understood what Brian meant!
First, in this terrorist attack against the minister, they will all be defined as suspects by the ministry!
Secondly, who is the murderer who planned the attack? This is a matter for the ministry to decide!
This was clearly a threat, setting the stage for what Brian really wanted to talk to them about next!
The wizards who attended the meeting could not be said to be extremely intelligent, but they were all quite cunning people and had seen no shortage of conspiracies and tricks.

With just a little guidance from Amosta, they understood his intentions.

No wonder Brian wanted to negotiate with them on this occasion and allowed reporters to listen in!
"The results of the investigation into this case will be published in the Daily Prophet when there is progress. For now, let's stop here—"

Amosta showed no change of expression.

"I asked you all to come here mainly for the livelihoods of the people behind me. This problem has been plaguing the Ministry of Magic for some time. Today we need to discuss a feasible plan to solve the problem."

Tuqiongdagger met.

Narcissa clenched her fists under the table. "I need you to get back to work as soon as possible."

Amosta didn't say much. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes deep and majesty engraved on his young face.

At this moment, the incessant shutter sounds reached a small climax.

The civilians behind Amosta looked nervously and almost pleadingly at the 'high and mighty' master at the conference table, hoping to hear a positive answer!

"I'm afraid that's difficult to do, Mr. Blaine."

A wizard with a shiny slicked-back hair was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. His dry lips moved as he spoke with difficulty.

Narcissa's eyes flickered to the wizard who was speaking.

The Nott family.
The losses were even greater than those of the Greengrass family, as the patriarch of the Nott family was captured by the Ministry of Magic during the war.

There were some intermittent, soft sobbing sounds from the huddled civilians.

Amosta heard it, but ignored it.

He was not angry because someone rejected him directly in public, but he just looked at him with a look of real pressure.
"What's the reason?"

Amosta asked calmly.

"We are having trouble operating, Mr. Blaine--"

The Nott family's spokesperson looked like he was about to collapse, but he still gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion.

The entire wizarding world is watching this negotiation. They cannot afford to remain inactive and must express their opinions clearly.

If you make a promise but fail to deliver, you will face criticism from the entire wizarding world!
“Business is facing difficulties”

The corners of Amosta's mouth moved, and his smile was cold. He looked at each face at the conference table one by one.

"What about the rest of you? What's your answer?"

No one dared to remain silent at this time, because silence would be regarded as agreement with Amosta Braine's request.

Even if they were thrown into Az.Avalon Prison and had to live with the eight-eyed spiders, they had to fight to the end.

The participants all gave a negative answer.

Including Narcissa, several workshops and companies in the UK owned by the Malfoy family gave a clear rejection.

Despair appeared on the simple faces of the people who were full of expectations, and suppressed sobs rose one after another.

Even the reporters who loved to watch the fun fell silent and glared at the participants angrily.

"Oh, they are all from the pure-blooded twenty-eight clans. I curse them to die soon!"

Some reporters gnashed their teeth, but he was immediately reminded by his colleagues.

"Keep your voice down, Romilda, you should know that we are also working for the pure-blood masters!"

The sobbing sounds lingering in Harry's ears also made him indignant. He stared at them with hatred and prayed in his heart that Professor Brain would
Kill them all?
The sudden thought in his mind scared Harry!
"The Ministry of Magic has received strong support from the goblins, so why can't they just give them some money?"

Ron said quietly.

His opinion was rarely recognized by Hermione, who nodded vigorously and looked toward Sirius expectantly.

"The Ministry may be able to take care of their lives for a short period of time, but in the long run, they still have to support themselves, Ron--"

Sirius shook his head, speaking in a heavy tone.

What should be done? How does Mr. Blaine plan to deal with this situation?
“Are you all experiencing business difficulties?”

Amosta laughed.

"In that case, then please tell us in detail. The enterprises and workshops you manage are the pillars of the wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic will not turn a blind eye to your predicament." (End of this chapter)
