v2 Chapter 1480: Cooperative content (1/2)
Ai Wen did not interject, he knew the content of the prophecy, but this prophecy is about Harry.
Whether to tell the other party, how to say, should be decided by Harry himself.
”I think, have you talked to Dumbledore about these things?” Harry finally said.
”Yes, we talked about it, but he refused to tell me the complete prophecy,” Scrimgeour replied.
”I'm sorry, I don't have much to say,” Harry said immediately, making the sound as pleasant as possible.
”Oh, of course, if it's a secret, I don't want you to leak it.” Scrimgeour seemed to anticipate Harry's answer. His tone was relaxed and friendly. ”Avon just said, we should be more honest, you may I still don't understand what I mean... No, no, I am not interested in the prophecy... To be honest, are you really a relationship between the Star of Salvation or the successor of Dumbledore?”
Harry didn't know what to answer. He turned to look at Ai Wen and didn't know much about Scrimgeour.
”Do you think it doesn't matter, Mr. Minister?” Ai Wen asked. ”I think it's important.”
”Of course, it's important to you, but it's not very important to me.” Scrimgeour said, laughing. ”Similarly, for the current wizarding world, for the vast majority of wizards who don't know you... this It’s all ideas, isn’t it? Do you understand what I mean? Concepts, impressions, what you are not important, whether it’s really a Star of Salvation or a successor to Dumbledore is not important, but people believe that you are What is it, this is important.”
Ai Wen blinked, and these words sounded quite reasonable.
What a person shows is recognized by others is not what you are, but what you look like in other people's eyes.
In other words, people make judgments based on performance, rumors, and their likes and dislikes, and imagine what they look like. There are too many such examples, such as Snape, former Sirius, Dwarf Peter, Quirinas Chilo, Gidlow Lockhart, and the madman Batty Crouch. Wait, the impression they left on everyone is completely inconsistent with their actual situation. No one knows what their true look is before they delve into it.
Therefore, Avon, Harry, and the current Ministry of Magic are also in the eyes of the public.
Most wizards don't know them at all, they can only judge from the information they see in the newspapers, imagine and believe their appearance, status, identity, and so on.
”For Harry, people believe that you are the star of salvation. They think that you are a hero, so you are, Harry, whether you are actually a salvation star, you are already in the eyes of people, how many times have you been? In the face of the big devil who can't even mention the name, there is the prophecy of the rumor!” Scrimge said quickly, ”As for you, Ai Wen, you show your performance in front of people and help Sirius prove His innocence, the battle with the vampire in the Quidditch World Cup finals, and the things you did in Egypt, completely beyond the level of your age wizard or even the adult wizard, which is enough to convince people that you are a very The talented wizard is a descendant of Dumbledore and will become a great wizard in the future. Therefore, in the minds of many wizards, you two are now a symbol of hope. Everyone knows and is willing to believe that you can destroy that big Devil. If you want me to see it, this is enough, it will naturally make people feel encouraged.”
Scrimgeour finished the conversation and gasped slightly, feeling a little excited.
”All in all!” He waited for Ai Wen and Harry to answer, and went on. ”Avon, Harry, this is the impression you are leaving to the vast majority of the people. You should realize this, you are very Important, um, that is, you have an obligation to work with the Ministry of Magic to give everyone confidence.”
Ok, this is the real purpose of Scrimgeour’s conversation.
To put it bluntly, it is to ask Ai Wen and Harry to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, but for him, this cooperation will definitely not only stay on the simple level, but will want Ai Wen and Harry to fully rely on the Ministry of Magic, if you can If you let the Ministry of Magic come to the mercy, then it would be better.
