The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 387: Changing the soup without changing the medicine

After hearing the whole story, Harry finally chose to believe Sirius. Because there are so many people on his side! Professor Lupin, Tom, Hermione... and most importantly, Dumbledore. If there was anyone in the entire wizarding world that Harry could trust unconditionally, it was Dumbledore.

Now Harry felt as if something was blocked in his throat and he couldn't say a word. A strange feeling arose in his heart.

"Okay, Minerva, you first take Peter to the school hospital and keep him under strict supervision. He must be accompanied by a professor until someone from the Ministry of Magic takes him away."

Professor McGonagall nodded, took out his wand, and said: "Zombies are floating." An invisible rope seemed to appear on Peter's wrists, neck and knees, pulling him to stand up. However, although he stood up, his head was still hanging limply, like a zombie, and his feet were hanging feebly a few inches above the ground.

"Hmph! We should lock up those shackles on him." Black was still angry at Peter, but he couldn't do anything in front of Dumbledore, so he could only kick him hard twice.

"Two Mr. Weasleys, I think it's time for you to go back. Your great weekend time shouldn't be wasted in an old man like me's office." After Professor McGonagall left, Dumbledore began to chase away guests. He couldn't see clearly. Percy, who came here, muttered in a low voice: "Maybe I should cancel the password at the entrance of the office and change it to a doorbell or something, so that no one can get in without a password..."

When he said this, he glanced at Tom. The others were okay, they were all people who knew the password - professors, student union presidents, etc. were all qualified to know, but Tom guessed it by himself every time. ! Thinking of this, Dumbledore felt that he should change his password again. He thought he should think carefully about what kind of sweets to choose for his new password.

Dumbledore said he didn't want to let unauthorized people in, but in fact he was still willing to let students in - as long as they could guess the password. Since he became the principal, the password for the entrance to his office has always been all kinds of sweets: iced lemon juice, piles of cockroaches, toffee finger cakes, sizzling honey candy... This is also a hole he left for the little wizards to let them know. Young wizards in need came to him to talk.

The number of people in the office is gradually decreasing, and the story seems to be coming to an end here. Everything has been settled, but among the people present, there is still one person who is not satisfied with the ending. He is Tom.

It's been more than a day or two since he disliked Fudge - he wasn't targeting Fudge as a person. On the contrary, he didn't have much dislike for this fat old man who had the temperament of the uncle next door. He just simply hated guys who couldn't resist. In his mind, failing to effectively fight against Death Eaters and Voldemort was the original sin.

Then Fudge's sin was even greater. He was not even as good as Chamberlain. Chamberlain's appeasement policy could bring back "peace for a generation" from Germany. What did Fudge's ostrich policy bring back? Help the editor of the Daily Prophet improve his storytelling skills?

If Chamberlain brought back a piece of toilet paper, Fudge didn't bring back even one - he made quite a few. Tom felt that Chamberlain's policy was appeasement, and Fudge's strategy could be called an ostrich policy. One is to guide foreign enemies to invade other countries for the sake of their own stability and hegemony, while the other is pretending not to see it. Pretending to be an ostrich is worse than the appeasement policy. Chamberlain also knew how to guide Germany to attack other countries, but Fudge allowed Voldemort to cause chaos in Britain.

Minister Fudge is incompetent! Not only did they fail to take immediate measures after Voldemort's return, but they have been trying to block the news and suppress Dumbledore. Tom has long had the idea of ​​ousting him, and the sooner the better!

Because Voldemort will be resurrected sooner or later, this trend is unstoppable. Under this general trend, Fudge is quite an eyesore. If he continues to lie dead, everything that should happen will happen, and Tom's peaceful life will be disturbed.

Tom doesn't want to take over the task of being the savior after Dumbledore's death. It's really too troublesome!

But the sad thing is that the British Ministry of Magic is in such a bad state that it seems that no matter who replaces it, it will be a mess. It is just a difference of 20 points and 40 points.

How many ministers has the Ministry of Magic changed in one term? Change the soup but not the medicine! Eugenia Jenkins, the Minister of Magic when Voldemort first rose, was unable to meet his challenge and stepped down. Neither Harold Minchum nor Millicent Bagnor could suppress Voldemort. If Voldemort hadn't finally overturned with Harry, God knows how long he could have lasted. After Voldemort returned, Fudge and his successor Scrimgeour were no match for him.

The five ministers had one strategy when facing Voldemort: send express delivery under Big Ben, place it above and send it below.

It might be better if Dumbledore chose to take over as Minister of Magic, but unfortunately this is impossible. When Grindelwald threatened the whole world, he just stayed at Hogwarts to teach. No matter how powerful Voldemort is, he can't compare to Grindelwald. What Grindelwald couldn't do, why could Voldemort do it?

Is there no other way? There are ways. The strategy given by Tom is: find an obedient Minister of Magic. This guy Fudge is too crotch-stretching. The new minister must be sensible and listen to Dumbledore; he must be courageous and don't cower like a mouse when he hears the words "Mysterious Man"; he must also have outstanding personal abilities and cannot choose a loser.

Once these conditions were set, plus the necessary qualifications to become the Minister of Magic, the range of choices became very small, and one name appeared on Tom's candidate list.

Amelia Bones was the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic at the time. Her brother Edgar Bones was one of the founders of the Order of the Phoenix. His entire family was killed by Voldemort. This also makes her a staunch "Dumbledore fan".

This witch is extremely talented and qualified, and more importantly, she supports Dumbledore. Letting her succeed the Minister of Magic is the best choice right now.

After figuring out these joints, Tom stopped Sirius who was about to leave, "Don't you want revenge? Sirius."

"Revenge?" Sirius turned his head in confusion, "Peter has been caught by us. Although I really want to twist his head off and feed it to the cat, it's not a bad idea to let the law deal with him."

"I'm not talking about Peter, I'm talking about Fudge."

Today is the story of Damocles Rowe, the second Minister of Magic.

Asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month

Damocles Rowle was a wizard who served as Minister of Magic from 1718 to 1726.

He campaigned on the slogan "Tough on Muggles". By then, plans had been put forward to build a purpose-built wizarding prison on the Hebridean Islands, but Roll, a brutal dictator, scrapped the original plan and insisted on Azkaban. Azkaban is a dementor-infested fortress where Axtis, a mentally disturbed dark wizard in the 15th century, once lived. It is now abandoned. He stressed that the dementors on the island could act as guards, saving the Ministry of Magic time, expense and energy. Despite objections from experts on dementors and buildings with dark histories, Rohr pursued the plan. Many prisoners started being placed there, and even if they weren't crazy or dangerous when they arrived, they quickly became that way. However, this had not yet been discovered when Rohr became minister.

Rolle's actions as Minister drew condemnation from the International Confederation of Wizards, and he was forced to step down. Perseus Parkinson took his place
