Harry Potter and the Old Ones Chapter 509

The Leaky Cauldron at the end of June was not much different from usual.

At least for old Tom Abbott, it's always been this way—

Except a few weeks ago, a few serious-looking Ministry of Magic staff came here and posted a huge announcement on the door of the Leaky Cauldron -

"Temporary Covenant During Voldemort's Resurrection"

Below is a bunch of content, to the effect that there are at least fifty witnesses in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, who have witnessed the return of the mysterious man... Barabara... In order to protect the lives and property of the people of the British magic community... … blah blah blah…

Old Tom glanced briefly—

Most of the instructions are not important. It is not so much a temporary agreement, but rather a small life advice in a special period, or a purposeless reward.

Most of them are things such as "Don't travel alone after dark", or "Don't follow strangers to places you don't know", or "If you feel that you are being followed, please run to places with many people".

One of the things Old Tom cared about the most was—

"If you find suspicious people or inappropriate remarks, please report to the nearby Aurors in time, and the nearby Aurors will verify them. Those who report successfully will receive a reward of at least 500 and a maximum of 2,000 Galleons, depending on the situation. "

In addition to this, Old Tom received two large stacks of purple pamphlets with prominent words:

The Hogwarts Education Reform Act

The British Ministry of Magic Internal Removal Act

Whenever a new visitor came to the Leaky Cauldron, Tom had to send them two of these booklets—

In the words of the Auror who brought the stacks of pamphlets: "This is an order from the Ministry of Magic."

In fact, this kind of behavior is completely unnecessary, because as early as a few days ago, Cornelius Fudge's political reform was reported by various media of the British Ministry of Magic. I believe that most well-informed wizards are already familiar with these two contents of the booklet.

Even the Daily Prophet, who always wears a pair of pants with Cornelius Fudge, is riveting enough to damage Cornelius Fudge——

"Mr. Haohao has revealed his true colors and is conspiring to become the next demon king"

"The Unspeakable Monster of Power is Approaching Wizengamore"

"The Shameless Traitor sold the Ministry of Magic to the Muggle Army!" 》

But soon, after Cornelius Fudge led a team of Muggle troops to the Ministry of Magic, the wind of public opinion gradually changed——

"Cornelly Fudge Settles the Opponents"

"Cornelly Fudge Is Raising His Inaugural Speech"

"The great and wise President Connelly Fudge will officially take office as the President of the Magic Federation tomorrow"

Of course, Fudge's political reforms were greatly obstructed at the very beginning, which is beyond doubt——

But as Tiera expected, what they blocked was Fudge from gaining such a high power, rather than preventing Fudge from concentrating such a high power.

They tried their best to control the power in their hands, the media in their hands, to slander Fudge, and even through violent acts, they wanted to force Cornelius Fudge to abdicate.

In everyone's eyes, Cornelius Fudge is like a piece of fresh and delicious meat. It has been smeared with sauce, poured in oil, turned on the fire, and fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

——And Cornelius Fudge really thinks so.

Before each Minister of Magic came to power, they had ambitions to achieve a career, but soon, their ambitions were exhausted by the compromise of various forces.

If the Minister of Magic himself comes from a pure-blooded family, it would be fine. With the power of his own family, he can do one or two things that will leave his name in the history or be infamous forever.

But good-hearted people like Cornelius Fudge can only have both sides, like walking on thin ice, carefully meeting the needs of all parties in order to maintain their hard-won status and glory.

It has been like this since time immemorial.

A wizard is a race with great power. To put it nicely, it is called extreme freedom, advocating self, but to put it uglier, it is called a piece of shit, and a scattered sky.

This is why wizards in the Middle Ages behaved so much when faced with the massacre of Muggles without the help of technology and without any special abilities——

Because wizards have almost no organizational ability at all, no matter how skilled the wizards are, and no matter how powerful their individual abilities are, when faced with the torrent of Muggles in the Middle Ages, whose organizational power far exceeds that of wizards, it is difficult to aggregate into an organization that can fight against it. .

But then again, even in the face of the Muggle slaughter in the Middle Ages, under such a crisis of national extinction, it only allowed the wizards to form a loose organization like the Wizarding Council and Hogwarts similar to the asylum. the same school, rather than forming a unified magical empire.

Unless an extremely powerful wizard appears, or is forced by some extremely dangerous external environment, the wizards will never be able to cohere as a whole——

Grindelwald did it before 1945, and Dumbledore after 1945 has always had the chance.

Apart from that, there is no one else.

As Tiera said before, in a race such as wizards that highly values individual power, only absolute power can bring absolute power.

If Voldemort's turmoil lasted a little longer, and if his unsatisfactory son hadn't joined the Death Eaters, Barty Crouch the Great would also have the opportunity to temporarily integrate the British Ministry of Magic into a highly united organization—

But without absolute power, such a highly united organization will not last long.

In the long history of wizards, even in the hundreds of years since the appearance of the Wizarding Council, there have been absolutely more than one dark wizard, or the president of the Wizarding Council or the Minister of Magic thought of unifying the entire British magic world——

Some of them rely on their own dark wizards~www.mtlnovel.com~ and some rely on intrigues, like Tierra, to concentrate all the powers, but soon——

These powers will be dismantled again.

As Tierra said, the other forces of the Ministry of Magic have never opposed the concentration of power, they are opposed to the concentration of power in others.

But as much power can bear as much power, the power that is not one's own will never be one's own.

The vassal dark wizards will be alienated, intrigues and tricks will be washed away by naked interests, and the power they have obtained will soon be eaten by the hungry wolves of the wizarding chaebol, and the power that has been reunited will soon be swept away. Break up again.

The day before the speech, Cornelius Fudge was pacing nervously back and forth in the room——

His mood is now floating back and forth in a state of extreme excitement and extreme worry.

Excited, because he stood at a height that the Ministers of Magic in all dynasties had never stood before, and had a power that he had never had before—

Worrying, because at this critical period, before he was about to deliver his inaugural speech, before he was about to wear the medal representing the general secretary of the Magic Federation—

Tiera, who truly mastered absolute violence, disappeared.
