The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster
Vol 3 Chapter 528: negotiation
When Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour arrived in Hogsmeade Village, it was already 6:30 in the afternoon.
It took about ten minutes for the director of the Legal Enforcement Department to find the place he had agreed with Mr. Jon Hart, a destination called "Pig Head Bar".
If it wasn't for a good look, Mr. Scrimgeour would barely recognize that this was a bar-this extremely remote location, the tattered wooden signboard, and the **** pig head painted on the signboard... totally different. What a serious matter, he didn't expect that the person and taste of the appointment would be so bad.
There is only one small, dark, and very dirty room in the bar, which exudes a strong smell of sheep...Fortunately, Scrimgeour is not the kind of "spoiled" Ministry of Magic cadre.
There were not many customers, many of them kept their faces tightly guarded, and looked sneaky; if it were normal working hours, Scrimgeour would definitely have to take the initiative to ask them.
"Hello." He glanced at the hostess who was full of sheep mutton, suppressing his anger, and asked: "Is Principal Hart here?"
"Upstairs." The hostess said straightforwardly without raising his head.
A weird, sloppy guy, Scrimgeour made a judgment directly in his heart.
But he is a decent man, and he will not have the same knowledge as this kind of lower class people...
When I arrived upstairs, the situation here seemed to be worse. There was thick dirt everywhere, as if it hadn't been cleaned for centuries; what kind of person would live in such a ghost place, it made Scrimgeour a little puzzled.
"Director!" When Scrimgeour was surrounded by a lot of surroundings, an enthusiastic voice sounded from behind him.
"Principal Hart!" Scrimgeour quickly scowled and changed to his usual stern expression: "It's nice to see you."
...
This is not the first time the two have met. Almost a year ago, they had a relationship on the Isle of Man... Although at that time, the boy had not given Rufus Scrimgeour What a deep impression, he was just an ordinary young wizard.
Of course it was different now. As the principal of Hogwarts, Scrimgeour could no longer be slower than him.
In a polite manner, the two sat down face to face in a room of the pig's head bar.
"I don't know if there is anything important, Principal Hart?" Scrimgeour made his tone harsher as much as possible: "I'm sorry, I've been very busy at work recently."
Seeing the other person's pretentious gesture, Jon couldn't help but smile secretly.
"Of course it's nothing." Jon said with a smile on his face: "It's just that I'm free today, I'm just looking for the director to chat with you... If you have something important, you might as well go first, and we'll make an appointment later. It's... I'm sorry to disturb you!"
"No, no," Scrimgeour's expression became a little embarrassed: "It's not necessary."
The Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic had been working in the Auror's office and dealing with dark wizards before he took office. He was obviously not so comfortable with the sophistication of humanity.
Just when he was embarrassed, the hostess who was full of sheep mutton, suddenly came upstairs with twice the butter beer.
While Jon brought one of them to Scrimgeour, he explained: "Sorry, Director, I'm not old enough to drink, we can only use this to relieve greed."
According to the regulations of the British Ministry of Magic, underage wizards are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages. Jon is not stupid enough to trample on the rules in front of the Director of Law Enforcement; and as we all know, butter beer does not contain any alcohol content. .
Scrimgeour did not comment on this, only glanced at the glass of butter beer with disgust. Perhaps in his opinion, the things in this filthy bar cannot be swallowed at all.
"To tell you the truth, I'm looking for Mr. Hart for one thing!" Looking at Jon, who was tasting Butterbeer over there, Scrimgeour couldn't wait and said hurriedly.
"Oh?" Jon made a somewhat curious look: "Then you tell me?"
"It's about Lady Diana Greengrass." Rufus Scrimgeour said unhurriedly, and his voice gradually became smoother:
"If I remember correctly, at a trial of a Death Eater suspect, it was Mr. Hart that you gave her bail, right."
Jon frowned slightly. He didn't expect Scrimgeour to take the initiative to bring up the matter; after a moment of silence, he nodded: "There is such a thing."
"To be honest, I also sympathize with Diana." Scrimgeour sighed deliberately, and then continued: "I also believe that her act of surrendering to the Dark Lord was excusable... but the law It's not merciful, there is no way."
"Yes, I agree with your opinion, Director." Jon said lightly.
"So, I received a message a few days ago that Diana's bail period is about to end..." Scrimgeour continued to say regretfully, "Poor woman, it won't be much time before she has to Back to Azkaban."
...
Jon didn't expect that Rufus Scrimgeour had the opportunity to negotiate this time.
Of course he would not believe the other side's regrets, sympathy and other nonsense; he was the most determined judge at the trial of Mrs. Diana Greengrass.
But the other party suddenly took the initiative to bring up this matter, could it be said that he was asking for himself.
Let’s talk about it first--
Jon continued to talk with Scrimgeour about the original trial and bail ~www.readwn.com~ and then talked about the topic again without leaving a trace.
The two of them began to talk about all sorts of messy topics like they had been friends forever. From the latest playlist of the Weird Sisters, to the wizarding civil war in Congo half a year ago, to the bizarre death of a Muggle princess some time ago... …
Jon seemed to be enjoying it, and Scrimgeour became a little more impatient.
"Principal Hart." Just when Jon enthusiastically introduced to Scrimgeour that a device called a mobile phone appeared in Muggles, which was much better than owls for sending letters; Scrimgeour interrupted him roughly: "There is one more thing, I almost forgot..."
"Oh?" Jon made another look of surprise.
"About the recent interviews some members of the Order of the Phoenix have received!" Scrimgeour sighed and said, "This has recently made the Ministry very difficult."
