"Sir?" Truman took a deep breath and said loudly, "You're just leaving like that?"
"What's the matter?" Nutley looked at Truman puzzledly.
"So, I'm fine now?" Truman was very dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic's attitude.
"Yes, it was a complete mistake," Nutley said in a formulaic tone.
Truman glanced at Albert next to him and said coldly, "I need an apology, sir. Do you know how much impact this letter has had on me? Do you know how angry I was when I found out that I was fired for no reason? Now you say it's okay, just like sending me away. Do you think a child is easy to bully, sir?"
Truman's tone became even tougher. He was really angry that the Ministry of Magic was just going to leave without a fight. Not long ago, Albert had done some advance work for him. His slightly trembling tone gradually became tougher. "I need an apology from the Ministry of Magic. This is entirely your fault. It has nothing to do with me. The Ministry of Magic must compensate me for my mental damages."
"What? I didn't hear that clearly." Nutley's expression froze, and even Dumbledore's expression became interesting.
"Sorry, there is also mental damage compensation, sir." Truman clenched his fists, "100 Galleons."
"Sorry kid, I'm sorry to cause you trouble, but compensation for mental damages... there's never been a precedent before." Nutley couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"I don't accept your apology, sir. You have no sincerity." Truman said angrily, "You think I'm just a child and you can bully me?"
Nutley and Dumbledore looked at each other.
"I think it's very cooperative, gentlemen. I was there at the time. When Truman rushed towards me after reading the letter, I even suspected that he was crazy. It took me a long time to calm him down. I suggested that he write a letter to Headmaster Dumbledore." Albert looked at the two people in front of him calmly without any fear. To be honest, he didn't like the Ministry of Magic, at least that was the case when he read the novel, and even more so after seeing the way the Ministry of Magic handled it.
After making such a big mistake, you should at least give a sincere apology, you bastard. How can you just walk away
To put it bluntly, they were just a group of guys who abused their power. No wonder they were treated like that by Voldemort.
"Also, I think your apology is insincere." Albert narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I have seen adults like you before. One of my predecessors was such a guy."
Nutley's face darkened.
"Of course, you can just treat us as children." Albert suddenly smiled, patted Truman on the shoulder and said, "Some people are just like that. Don't take it too seriously. Go back. I will contact you via owl. Maybe we can talk about study problems."
Nutley left, his face dark, not knowing what he was going to face.
"Goodbye, Headmaster." Albert nodded slightly to Dumbledore and said, "Thank you very much for helping Truman solve this problem. If he was fired because of me, I would feel guilty about it."
"Goodbye Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Truman." Headmaster Dumbledore also left.
"Those guys are so annoying." Truman clenched his fist and said, "What kind of attitude is that? It's so annoying. I really want to punch him hard."
"How about writing a letter to the Daily Prophet?" Albert looked at Truman with a smile after Dumbledore left.
Just now, he triggered a mission called "Truman's Dissatisfaction".
"Yes, this matter must be exposed."
"Remember to give me half of the reward." Albert was not afraid of causing trouble. The reward for this task was very rich, with 3,000 experience points and an extra 25 Galleons.
"Okay, you write it. By the way, are your family members really lawyers?" Truman couldn't help asking.
"Of course. They are all lawyers, so I am actually quite good at this kind of problem. What's more, we are right. Society sympathizes with the weak, and people will definitely like to see Ministry of Magic scandals appear in the Daily Prophet. When the time comes, we can discuss with the reporter to prevent our names and photos from appearing in the newspaper. Also, keep the letter from the Ministry of Magic safe."
Albert knew a guy who was perfect for this job.
…
At the Daily Prophet headquarters in London, England, Rita Skeeter was thinking about today's special edition. She was a little troubled by the lack of major news to write about recently.
People like to read big news, whether it is true or exaggerated, as long as the newspaper can attract readers' attention, it is a successful newspaper in Rita Skeeter's opinion.
She was asking her assistant, trying to find some news that would be more topical.
Soon after, several letters were placed on Rita Skeeter's desk. She opened the envelopes, some of which scolded her, and some of which revealed gossip to her. However, one letter successfully attracted Rita Skeeter's attention. After reading the letter, Rita Skeeter knew that this was the news she wanted, because it also came with a photo.
A few days later, the Ministry's Improper Use of Magic Department became famous. In the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter described it as a department that always made mistakes, refused to apologize for its mistakes, and had a very bad attitude towards handling problems.
Nutley was singled out, and the unfortunate fellow became the target of numerous criticisms.
Rita Skeeter wrote at the end of the article that the victim doubted whether the Ministry of Magic could still be trusted, and he disclosed the incident to the Daily Prophet and asked for 50 Galleons as compensation for the Ministry's unwillingness to pay. This was more than the Ministry of Magic should have paid, and they also owed the child a sincere apology. "
After Nutley saw the newspaper, he suddenly felt that his decision was a bad one. He remembered what the boy said: "Do you think a child is easy to bully, sir?"
However, the other party proved with facts that he was not easy to bully.
Soon after the newspaper came out, it immediately caused a sensation.
Nutley had been forced to take a temporary leave of absence because of the disaster that had befallen the Improper Use of Magic Department, to which many people had sent letters.
Rita Skeeter used her pen to tell everyone what the destructive power of words is. After obtaining the oral statements and descriptions of the two people, the reporter skillfully used these words to fabricate the content she expected, and by the way, messed up the Ministry of Magic.
She was not worried at all that the content was unreliable, because it also came with the content of a letter from the Ministry of Magic prohibiting the Abuse of Magic Department. There was no way she could make an excuse.
Truman was in a very happy mood. He received 25 Galleons as mental compensation, which was a fortune that he could never imagine.
Moreover, the female reporter did not reveal his and Albert's names. Just as Albert guessed, the Daily Prophet made this incident the headline, severely criticizing the Ministry of Magic and bringing bad luck to the guy on the other end.
Albert was in a good mood as well. He had completed his mission and gained Truman's friendship. They often contacted each other through owls during the summer vacation, and the other party could give him some help with magic.
As for the Galleons that were allocated to him, Albert used them to subscribe to the Daily Prophet.
