"Sir?" Truman took a deep breath and said loudly, "You're just leaving like that?"
"Is something wrong?" Nataly looked at Truman in confusion.
"So, I'm fine?" Truman was very displeased with the Ministry of Magic's attitude.
"Yes, it was a complete mistake." Nataly's tone was very formal.
Truman glanced at Albert next to him and said coldly, "I need an apology, sir. Do you know how much this letter affected me? Do you know how angry I was when I found myself inexplicably facing the risk of being tried and expelled? Now you're saying it's nothing, as if to dismiss me. Do you think a child is easy to bully, sir?"
Truman's tone became even more forceful. The Ministry of Magic was just going to pack up and leave like that, which indeed made him very angry. Not long ago, Albert's preparatory work for him had gradually made his slightly trembling voice become very firm, "I need an apology from the Ministry of Magic. This matter was entirely caused by your mistake and has nothing to do with me. Also... the Ministry of Magic must compensate me for my emotional distress."
Actually, if the Ministry of Magic had apologized to him, Truman wouldn't have asked for any emotional distress compensation, but their actions really made him feel incredibly annoyed and angry.
"What, I didn't hear clearly." Nataly's expression froze, and even Dumbledore's expression became very interesting.
"Sorry, and emotional distress compensation, sir." Truman clenched his fists, "100 Galleons."
"Sorry, child, I regret causing you trouble, but emotional distress compensation... there's never been a precedent." Nataly couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"I don't accept your apology, sir, you have no sincerity." Truman said angrily, "Do you think I'm just a child and can be bullied?"
Nataly and Dumbledore exchanged glances.
"I think it's very reasonable, sirs. I was there at the time. When Truman rushed at me after reading the letter, I even suspected he had gone mad. It took me a long time to calm him down and suggest he write a letter to Headmaster Dumbledore." Albert calmly looked at the two people in front of him, without any fear. To be honest, he didn't like the Ministry of Magic, at least when reading novels, and even more so after seeing how the Ministry of Magic handled things.
After making such a big mistake, they should at least give a sincere apology! Bastards, what's with packing up and leaving?
Frankly, they were just a bunch of guys abusing their power, no wonder they were messed up by Lord Voldemort.
"Also, I also think your apology is insincere." Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "Adults like you, I've seen before. One of my teachers is like that."
Nataly's face immediately darkened.
"Of course, you can also just treat us as children." Albert suddenly smiled, reached out and patted Truman's shoulder, saying, "Some people are just like that, don't mind them too much. Let's go back, I'm a bit hungry. We can contact each other by Owl another day, maybe we can talk about academic problems."
Nataly left, leaving with a dark face. He had no idea what he would face.
"Then goodbye, Principal." Albert nodded slightly towards Dumbledore, "Thank you very much for helping Truman solve this problem. If he were expelled because of me, I would feel guilty about it."
"Goodbye, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Truman." Headmaster Dumbledore also left.
"Those guys are really annoying." Truman clenched his fists and said, "What kind of attitude is that? So annoying, I really want to punch him hard."
"How about it, want to write to The Daily Prophet?" Albert looked at Truman with a smile after Dumbledore left.
Just now, Albert had triggered a task called "Truman's Dissatisfaction," which was one of the reasons he decided to help the other party.
"Yes, we must expose this matter."
"Remember to share half of the reward with me." Albert wasn't afraid of causing trouble at all. The reward for this task was very generous, with 3000 experience points and an additional 25 Galleons.
"Okay, you write it. By the way, are your family really lawyers?" Truman couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, they are all lawyers, so I'm actually quite good at these kinds of problems. What's more, we're not wrong, society sympathizes with the weak, and people must also like to see scandals of the Ministry of Magic appear in The Daily Prophet. At that time, we'll discuss it with the reporter, just make sure our names and photos don't appear in the newspaper. Also, keep that letter from the Ministry of Magic safe."
Albert knew a guy who was very suitable for this... In Britain, London, at The Daily Prophet headquarters, Rita Skeeter was pondering today's special issue. Recently, there hadn't been any major news to write about, which made her a bit troubled.
People like to read big news, whether it's true or exaggerated. As long as a newspaper can attract readers' attention, in Rita Skeeter's opinion, it's a successful newspaper.
She was asking her assistant, trying to find some news that could spark conversation.
Soon after, several letters were placed on Rita Skeeter's desk. She opened the envelopes; some were cursing her, and some were revealing gossip, but one letter successfully caught Rita Skeeter's attention. After reading the letter, Rita Skeeter knew this was the news she wanted, because it also included a photo.
A few days later, the Ministry of Magic's Improper Use of magic Office became famous. In The Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter described it as a department that always caused blunders, refused to apologize for its mistakes, and had an extremely poor attitude in handling problems.
Nataly was even singled out, and this unlucky guy became the target of countless people's verbal attacks.
Rita Skeeter wrote at the end of the article, "The victim expressed doubt about whether the Ministry of Magic was still trustworthy. He exposed this matter to The Daily Prophet and demanded 50 Galleons as emotional compensation that the Ministry of Magic was unwilling to pay. This fee should have originally been paid by the Ministry of Magic, and they still owe that child a sincere apology."
After seeing this newspaper, Nataly suddenly felt that his original decision was terrible. He remembered what the boy had 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.
The newspaper caused a sensation shortly after it came out.
Nataly was forced to be temporarily suspended from his position because the Improper Use of magic Office suffered, and many people sent letters there.
Rita Skeeter used her pen to tell everyone the destructive power of words. After getting the oral accounts and descriptions from the two, the reporter skillfully used these words to fabricate the content she desired, incidentally messing up the Ministry of Magic.
She wasn't worried at all that the content was unbelievable, because it also included the content of that letter from the Ministry of Magic's Improper Use of magic Office. There was no way to deny it.
Truman was in a very good mood. He received 25 Galleons as emotional compensation, which was a wealth he could not have imagined at all.
Moreover, the female reporter did not expose his and Albert's names. The matter was just as Albert had guessed: The Daily Prophet took this matter as its headline, fiercely criticizing the Ministry of Magic, and incidentally making the guys over there unlucky.
Albert was also in a good mood. His task was completed, and he also gained Truman's friendship. They often contacted each other by Owl during the summer vacation, and the other party could give him some help with magic.
As for the Galleons he received, Albert used them to subscribe to The Daily Prophet.
