"Minister of Magic?"

The professor repeated the word almost unconsciously - even if Professor McGonagall was well-informed, as the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, he talked and laughed with the Ministers of Magic and the principals of the major magic schools... Ahem, I haven't had any cordial exchanges with the big names of the Ministry of Magic in various countries.

The topic we just talked about seemed to be how to help the school get through the difficulties, and why did it suddenly become a big news?

That's the Minister of Magic!The most powerful person in the whole of Britain!When you want to meet the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister can push off all his trips regardless of whether he agrees or not, and the current Hogwarts predicament comes from the Minister of Magic himself, and now Allen's idea is to replace the Minister?

It's simply open... Just... It's the best choice to break the game!

Once Dumbledore became the Minister of Magic, all the problems were solved, the Minister of Magic was his own people, and he would be worried about the Ministry of Magic targeting Hogwarts?

Not to mention the various regulations of the school now, even the funding problems and the rigid restrictions on the syllabus, which were the most difficult to get in previous years, can now be considered.

What has become of the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts class! Not to mention the change of teachers every year, even the practice venue is not good, and the students who have graduated for a long time want to be the Aurors have been stuck in this class - this has been criticized by the Aurors for many years, and when Dumbledore becomes the Minister of Magic, the two restrictions will be opened, and most of the problem will be solved.

Also, the professor's salary has been complained about by many professors, when she was invited by Dumbledore to come to Hogwarts, there was still a big department of Transfiguration in the school (Note 1), not to mention the Transfiguration department, Professor McGonagall wanted to bring a new professor herself, and because of a series of problems such as funding, there were no new professors in the school now - there were not enough Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers, let alone other subjects.

After all, the Grindelwald era and the Voldemort era that almost followed caused so much pain to the entire wizarding world that it took too long for Hogwarts to recover from its losses in the wartime era, let alone develop further.

After all, the association secretly resists, and it takes money and time to gather intelligence, even if it is a genius such as Dumbledore, after investing too much energy in it, it is inevitable that he will not be able to do anything in the construction of the school, in fact, most of the daily affairs of the school over the years have been handled by Professor McGonagall, and Dumbledore has more energy on the possible comeback of Grindelwald and the destined return of Voldemort.

Once Dumbledore became Minister of Magic, it meant that Dumbledore would have more resources to deal with the two generations of the Dark Lord, and Professor McGonagall would be able to concentrate more on the school's affairs, rather than having to put aside most of the documents that required Dumbledore's approval to be implemented until the Headmaster came back and signed them.

At this thought, Professor McGonagall almost nodded in agreement with Allen—but she had heard from Dumbledore many times about Dumbledore's reluctance to become Minister of Magic.

"Great idea, but Albus has his own ideas—" Professor McGonagall nodded at Alan, but with a look of helplessness.

"Is this the important question now?" Alan looked at Professor McGonagall with a serious expression, since he had this idea, and felt that it was indeed feasible, then what he had to do next was to let things move in this direction, instead of others thinking of other ways when they were unsure, in which case most of the problems would drag on and not be solved at all.

"Of course, I know that Professor Dumbledore has his own ideas, and if he really wanted to be Minister of Magic, then there would be no Fudge for a long time, but the question now is not whether he wants to be a Minister or not, but that he can't continue to run this ministerial school if he doesn't do it. ”

"If we had any other options, I don't think the professor would be willing to give up glory in exchange for support from other schools—and right now, it's uncertain whether that support will be useful or not, and how much it will work. ”

"We chose Professor Dumbledore to be Minister of Magic, not to say that he needed to take on this responsibility for the sake of the school, nor did it mean that Professor Dumbledore, as the headmaster, should die when the school needed it, and it didn't mean that we forced the professor to do what he had been unwilling to do in the name of Dumbledore's good. What we did was for Professor Dumbledore to take on the power he should have shouldered a long time ago—power, not power, not responsibility. ”

"As far as I know, Professor Dumbledore has been preparing to stop the Dark Lord since the days of Grindelwald, and his preparations have allowed the wizarding world to emerge from the crises of multiple wars - but, now that the war is coming again, not every time we are so lucky. ”

Dealing with Voldemort's return is something every wizard should face, but the Professor has forced this to take it upon himself and formed the Order of the Phoenix to unite wizards who are willing to risk their lives against Voldemort. ”

"This is a great act, of course - but what if it fails? What about the non-pure-blood wizards who were destined to be persecuted when Voldemort came to power? They wanted to oppose Voldemort, but most of them had no way to reach the circle of the Order of the Phoenix. Why? Because the Order of the Phoenix is a secret organization, they may not have heard of it a moment before they were murdered by Voldemort. ”

"As the ruler of the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic should naturally shoulder the responsibility of fighting Voldemort. Professor, we all know that Voldemort is coming back this time, no matter how ambitious his goal is, conquering the entire British wizarding community is his inevitable goal, so resisting Voldemort's return is something that the Ministry of Magic must do. ”

"If Fudge's Ministry of Magic can't take on this responsibility, then we should elect someone who has the ability to lead the Ministry of Magic to victory as a minister - this is what the elect of the Ministry of Magic should do, the Ministry of Magic is not Fudge's Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic of every English wizard, and our choice is Dumbledore. ”

Of course, Dumbledore had the right to refuse - no one could choose to say no when they were not confident, and that was fine. But when Dumbledore chose to lead the Order of the Phoenix in rebellion, it meant that he gave up the army controlled by the Ministry of Magic, the Aurors controlled by the Ministry of Magic, the thousands of wizards who were not pure-bloods willing to fight Voldemort, and the pure-blood wizards who did not accept Voldemort's theory. ”

"I want Dumbledore to think about wizards who are willing to fight Voldemort but are prevented from doing so by the Ministry of Fadge's Magic, Dumbledore wants to win the battle against Voldemort, and they want the same - and these demands are simply not met by the Fudge government. ”

"I still don't know why Professor Dumbledore chose to give up his position as Minister of Magic, but I would like you to tell him these words in your correspondence with the Professor - it is true to be the Minister of Magic, but this power comes with a responsibility that only he can hold in the wizarding world in Britain at the moment - and with great power comes great responsibility. ”

After a long series of words, Alan stared at the professor tightly.

The language is inverted and unclear, and the logic conflicts in some places.

But as a way to convince Professor McGonagall and even Professor Dumbledore, it should be enough.

Persuasion of this kind of thing has never been based on reasoning, but by dispelling the resistance of the other party, so that the other party has no worries - and now, most of these have been disposed of.
