Chapter 730 The High Ground of Public Opinion
Reluctantly, William finally sat down between Snape and Sirius.
Sure enough, he immediately smelled a pungent smell from Professor Snape.
How to describe it, it's like a person with body odor who ate a hundred garlic, breathed out next to you, and forced you to swallow the coriander.
Oh, what a god of food in the world!
Professor, what method did you use to marinate yourself so much?
William held his breath, stinking to death and being suffocated, he would have preferred the latter.
It's not so painful to die like this.
Before he said anything, Professor Snape started to work, only to hear him say in a strange way:
"Big shit, are you going to perform some difficult and confidential mission?
Otherwise, why are you three minutes and 15 seconds late and let everyone wait for you alone?
Tsk tsk... Could it be to ambush the Death Eaters?It's really yours! "
"Maybe it's time to take a shower." Sirius stabbed Snape lightly.
"Not everyone likes to smell bad.
William, do you smell it?
Did someone go to the toilet and eat that stuff?Otherwise why is it so smelly? "
Sirius satirizes others now, and he likes to say that others have eaten Ollie.
There is of course a reason for this.On the night of Voldemort's resurrection, he obeyed William's instructions and went to Hogwarts to support him.
After that, he secretly attended the celebration banquet held by Gryffindor for Hermione and got very drunk.
After he got home drunk, he lay unconscious on his bed and slept all night.
The next day, he was woken up by the stench, pulled off the quilt, and saw that the quilt was full of...
mouth area!
He still thought that he had accidentally lost control after falling asleep!
My heart is a little broken.
Snape and Sirius, looking at each other hatefully, seemed to want to kill each other with their eyes.
William did not speak, quietly like a little daughter-in-law.
It has nothing to do with him, just go out and do it.
However, under Dumbledore's stern gaze, the two were limited to eye contact, and did not go further and make physical contact.
This made William quite regretful.
Now that William is here, the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix has officially begun.
William was the first to speak... of course it was impossible!
Although he is famous, powerful, handsome, and rich with billions of dollars, no one at this table can beat anyone, but...he is too young.
Most of the wizards sitting here are old members of the Order of the Phoenix in the last wizarding war.
William has fought against Voldemort, and he has done things that many wizards here have not done.
But at least in the Order of the Phoenix, he is still a rookie...with insufficient qualifications and prestige.
Human society is like this, everyone has to be ranked according to seniority!
It is not with Voldemort, it depends on personal ability.
Do something wrong?
The day before you were the Dark Lord's favorite, the kind who stayed overnight... the next day you might evaporate like Avada eating a big melon.
Tsk tsk, from this point of view, only the Death Eater team only looks at ability, without so much old bureaucratic atmosphere.
But the Death Eaters need a threshold, and not everyone can enter.
The threshold is pure blood, mixed blood can be tolerated, but not Muggle-born.
Pure blood is equivalent to Shida University, and mixed blood is also double first-class, with low-level 985 and 211.
Muggle-born wizards... are equivalent to Sifei and college students. Not only will they not want you, but they will kill you.
So job-hopping is impossible.
William sat like a minion...waiting for surprises, to brush up his prestige and qualifications, so as to pry the headmaster's corner.
He wants to turn Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix into Stark's Akali—the Order of the Phoenix.
The first to speak was Professor McGonagall.
Holding a thick file, she began to report on her recent work.
Professor McGonagall's report was lengthy and boring, and most of it revolved around the wizards he had come into contact with recently.
Dumbledore needs to spread the news of Voldemort's resurrection, and needs more people to join the Order of the Phoenix to fight against Voldemort.
But in order to avoid exposure and ensure reliability, the Order of the Phoenix is still adopting the old contact method of one belt one.
In other words, the Order of the Phoenix doesn't just join if you want to, you have to have reliable members as guarantees.
This is a secret underground organization that exists only to fight against the Dark Lord.
But the effect is not very good.
People don't want to believe... Voldemort is back.
Even with Dumbledore's speech, even with Stark's acknowledgment, people are still watching.
Dumbledore looked at Kingsley and asked, "What did Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, say?
Can you fight for it? "
"I tried this with the director, but he didn't seem to believe it. More evidence is needed." Kingsley shook his head.
"Evidence... Didn't Umbridge take the Aurors and inspect the cemetery? There are so obvious signs of battle there."
Sirius frowned.
"Actually, those two Aurors belonged to Umbridge.
They faked the scene and said it was a landslide. "Tonks explained.
"Yes, the Ministry has also issued a clear document to characterize this matter." Mr. Weasley sighed.
"I have an acquaintance in the Muggle Liaison Office. He told me that Umbridge has sent an amnestic to modify the memory of nearby Muggles."
Emmeline Vance expresses:
"She also ordered the Office of Misinformation to contact the Muggle Prime Minister and ask them to announce that it was a landslide."
"... Maybe we should take a step back." Mundungus, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Our targets are the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters. But if this continues, there may be conflicts with the Ministry of Magic."
Mundungus was echoed by many people.
Many members of the Order of the Phoenix are officials of the Ministry of Magic.They didn't want to fall out with the Ministry of Magic just yet.
"We gave up publicity on the surface, tried not to anger Fudge, and secretly reached out to those who believed." Sturgi Podmore said.
William shook his head disapprovingly.
Dumbledore crossed his hands, looked at William, and asked, "William, what's your opinion?"
Everyone looked at him.
William raised his eyebrows. Is this starting to pave the way for him and earn his reputation?
"Speak freely, you can say whatever you want," Dumbledore encouraged.
William thought for a while, stood up, looked around and said:
"I think differently than everyone else.
Of course we were going to deal with Fudge, and with the most drastic means. "
"I know... everyone thinks that Voldemort is back, and that the current main conflict is between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.
But we must also see the reality clearly.
Before us lie three mountains—public opinion, Minister Fudge, and Voldemort. "
"We want to knock them all down, and this order cannot be wrong."
William put his hands on the table, his eyes flickered:
"If we don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, it will be occupied by the enemy.
Just watch, next, the major newspapers will stigmatize us and Dumbledore.
They will say that Dumbledore is old, and he has high self-demand and pressure at work for a long time.
A state of obvious physical and mental exhaustion appears, and there is a large gap between their social roles, self-expectations, and psychological feelings.
Over a long period of time, his anxiety has become increasingly serious, and in terms of cognition, he has gradually formed a mindset and adopted extreme behaviors. "
"Dare they do this?!" Professor McGonagall said angrily.
"In fact, it has already started, Professor." William said softly:
"I have a piece of information here, which I just obtained.
That's you, Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in this International Conference of Wizards. "
"Why?" cried Sirius.
"Fudge has rescinded Professor Dumbledore's British representative status."
Everyone was silent.
William said loudly:
"Gentlemen, give up all illusions, the moment we announce Voldemort's return, the battle begins.
That's right, the fight with Minister Fudge.
Voldemort is the tallest mountain we will eventually defeat, but the first two must also be crossed. "
"Politics is not a dinner party, but a life-and-death struggle!"
