Chapter 499 Cutting the Cake 1
In just over ten minutes, the whole cause and effect of the incident was explained, greatly satisfying everyone's curiosity.
"Sainz, what should we do now?" Ben pointed to the mountains full of coke.
"It's been so long, I think the floor cleaners should be here by now." Saiens asked the Aurors standing in the distance who didn't dare to come over, "Has the Ministry of Magic not arrived yet?"
The man was startled and quickly stepped forward to answer, "Mr. Autumn, Deputy Minister Umbridge has been waiting for your call in the distance."
"Really? Could you please ask her to come over?"
"I'm happy to serve you!" The man bowed respectfully and ran away happily.
"It was her?" said Ron in disgust.
Most of the people present showed expressions of disgust.
Professor Sprout glanced off into the distance, "Sainth, there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the castle. I have to go check on Minerva."
"Yes, professor," Sainz said respectfully, "please help yourself."
As Professor Sprout left, Professor Flitwick and Slughorn followed her back to the castle.
Only the silent Snape was left standing there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ben and the others looked at each other, and walked a distance to the side before Umbridge arrived. Sainz did not stop them.
"Mr. Autumn!" Umbridge greeted respectfully from a distance, then walked closer tremblingly and bowed again respectfully, "Mr. Autumn!"
"Others don't want to come?"
"They dare not come, Mr. Autumn," Umbridge stared at Sainz's toes, not daring to stay on the body next to him for even half a second, "They are afraid of accidentally offending your authority."
"Am I scary?"
"No, no, no!" Umbridge denied hastily, "Everyone knows that no one in the world is as gentle as you. We...we know that we are filthy, and such filth dare not appear in front of your holy light.
Any filthy person will feel ashamed in front of you. It is not that they dare not see you, but they are afraid of polluting your holy eyes. "
"Okay, stop talking about these useless things."
"Yes, sir," said Umbridge humbly, "you are so ——"
"Stop!"
"Yes, sir!" Umbridge shuddered and quickly shut up.
"What do you think of the current situation?"
Umbridge glanced at Voldemort, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said carefully, "The Ministry of Magic has always been committed to fighting evil, but for some reasons it has not been very effective. Fortunately, Mr. Autumn showed mercy and put an end to evil.
The Ministry of Magic has shown its own shortcomings when dealing with evil. I wonder if Mr. Autumn can give the Ministry of Magic some help?"
"Want to hear my opinion?"
Umbridge was delighted. "If you can give some instructions, it will definitely allow the Ministry of Magic to greatly improve its capabilities."
"Will we be accused of interfering with the operations of the Ministry of Magic?" Sainz shook his head slightly, "Let's not do that."
Umbridge was startled and raised her head suddenly. She wanted to take a step forward, but she had already raised her foot and quickly put it back. Her left foot tripped over her right foot and she fell to the ground.
She immediately got up, not bothering to clean the dirt and weeds off her body, and cried, "Please, Mr. Autumn, please, for the sake of the Ministry of Magic's efforts in maintaining peace in the wizarding world over the years, please..."
"Is it true that no one will gossip about it?"
"Of course not," Umbridge cried with joy when she saw that things had taken a turn for the better. "That's great, kind sir. Everyone in the ministry will surely be grateful for your kindness."
"Okay," Sainz threatened a little, and when he saw that it was almost done, he said in a negotiating tone, "Then I will talk about a few small questions for your reference."
"Thank you, Mr. Autumn," Umbridge respectfully took out her pen and notebook and pretended to listen attentively, without any extra words reminding her whether she should avoid Snape who was in a daze nearby.
"Look," Sainz looked around, "more than 2,000 lives have been lost here, there must be 1,300 or 1,400 wizards alone, and there must be 800 to 900 from Britain. What a huge loss this is!"
"Yes," Umbridge said, matching the sadness. "What a loss!"
"Who caused all this?" Sainz looked at the half-candidate under his feet.
"It's the evil dark... dark wizard Voldemort!" Umbridge said firmly.
"Yes, Voldemort must bear the main responsibility for this matter," Sainz set the tone, "but those accomplices, those Death Eaters who advocated for Voldemort, and those collaborators who were positive people on the surface but served Voldemort secretly, all the participants, cannot be ignored."
"You said it very well," Umbridge complimented. "Most people would never think of those collaborators, and if you hadn't pointed them out, the Ministry would certainly have ignored the damage they caused.
With your reminder, things are different. We will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of all personnel involved in this matter."
"Whatever the identities of those people are?"
"Please rest assured," Umbridge assured quickly, "After this incident, the Ministry of Magic will definitely learn from past experience and lessons. This time, we will investigate thoroughly. No matter who the other party is, it cannot stop the Ministry's determination to fight evil."
"That's great," Sainz said softly. "I hope the ministry can restore order to the public."
"I will definitely not let you down," Umbridge said, calmer than before. "Please help the Ministry to see if there are any other issues that have been neglected."
"It's still a painful lesson this time," Sainz said regretfully, "So many dark wizards, so many people gathered here continuously because of Voldemort's order, what is the fundamental reason?"
"I'm sorry, sir," Umbridge said ashamedly, "I'm too stupid to see such essential things. Could you please point out the secret to me?"
No other reason why Umbridge could have risen to the position of deputy minister was because she was so skilled in flattering her superiors.
"The most fundamental reason is that they have lost their reverence," Sainz concluded. "These people have ended up like this because they have lost their reverence for life.
A large number of them were originally extremely evil and had been imprisoned in Azkaban. However, instead of repenting, they became even more evil after escaping from prison, causing many innocent and kind people to pay the price with their lives. "
"Do you have any solution to this?" Umbridge seemed to realize what Sainz was going to say next and looked very horrified.
"It's a good idea, and the Ministry may have discussed it a long time ago," Sainz said softly, "The crimes committed by those people should have been paid with their lives a long time ago. The Ministry was merciful and only sent them to Azkaban, but they didn't get a good response for it. Therefore, I suggest,"
Sainz opened his mouth and uttered the word that frightened Umbridge, "Death penalty!"
