Chapter 142: Ministerial Election
The Great Hall of Hogwarts, where the Christmas decorations had not yet been removed, was brightly lit, and the students were sparsely seated in their respective houses, waiting for breakfast to start.
Patches of white snowflakes fluttered in the sky, adding a bit of pure atmosphere to everyone.
It is worth mentioning that this is a field magic card, which is more realistic than Dumbledore's previous scene magic.
Dumbledore sat down in his high seat and tapped the silver cup gently, "Before breakfast, I have a few words. Thank you so much for the Christmas gift you guys gave me, just I prefer the honey cake to the cockroach pile. ”
"The Academy Cup will be held at the end of next month, and we hope that each house will select the players as soon as possible. Those with excellent grades can participate in the first Magic World Phantom Card Fighting Tournament held by the Alchemy Foundation in June!"
Hearing this, the students immediately howled with excitement.
The first Phantom Card Fighting Tournament, it's exciting to listen to!
"Quiet!" Dumbledore tapped his silver cup, "Last thing, Professor Fitz will no longer be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for personal reasons, and the new professor will be there after the Christmas break." ”
"Let's go!" Dumbledore gave the order, and a variety of sumptuous delicacies appeared on the table.
Canaan noticed that an oversized Australian lobster appeared in front of everyone, and it was a small Christmas gift specially prepared by the house-elves for everyone.
"Oh, today's newspaper is really exciting!" Roger shouted, reading the contents of the newspaper in his hand: "According to the French Aurors, Minister Millicent is suspected of being a dark wizard!"
"I have it here, too, the Ministry of Magic has received an anonymous report that Minister Millicent once helped the mystery man!" George shouted from the Gryffindor seat to the Ravenclaw seat in fear of the world's chaos.
"It's unbelievable that our minister should be such a person!"
"I'm going to write a letter to my dad so he can't support Millicent anymore, and my dad is part of the Wizengamot governing body. A student of the Snake Academy proudly showed off.
......
Looking at Canaan with a lobster in his hand and eating happily, Dumbledore smiled slightly, this child's methods really surprised him.
Canaan burped, wiped his greasy hands with a white napkin, and picked up a newspaper as well.
"British Minister for Magic Millicent is suspected of molesting elderly Muggle women...
- surprise you"
Attached to the bottom of the newspaper is a photograph of a gray-haired woman crying, making people have to believe the authenticity of the contents of the newspaper.
Canaan couldn't help but shake his head and smile, Milicente's reputation was stinking now.
But this is still the first step in their plan, and there are more exciting things waiting for that old guy in the future!
......
A week later, the British Ministry of Magic in London!
Today, the staff of the Ministry of Magic are at their busiest time, because it is the day of the election of the Minister of Magic, and the personnel of the service hall have to deal with the owl votes flying in from all over the world, and also have to receive dignitaries from various magical circles.
A small part of the British ministerial election for Wizardry will be based on popular votes, and most of the weight will be voted on by the Wizengamot Governing Body and the relevant important departments of the Ministry of Magic.
In the main hall on the eighth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, at the Fountain of the Magic Brothers, Canaan and Guvet slowly walked out of the fireplace of the Floo Net, this time they were coming to participate in the ministerial election on behalf of the Alchemy Foundation.
The fountain was surrounded by a number of wizards in formal attire, as well as a group of older wizards in fuchsia robes, with a delicate silver "W" embroidered on their left chest, presumably members of the Wizengamot.
"Goodett, it's been a long time!" a chubby wizard in a bright red tie greeted him.
"Fudge, long time no see. Guvett stretched out his hand and replied lightly.
As if sensing Guvet's repulsive tone, Fudge shifted his gaze to Canaan again, and said with a smile: "Is this our genius little wizard, your alchemy work is simply amazing, the Ministry of Magic should really award you the Merlin Order of at least the second grade." ”
Canaan bowed slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, it's an honor to meet you." ”
After a brief chat with Canaan, Fudge found that there was no gain here, so he said hello and left decisively.
"Fudge is one of the strong contenders for the ministerial race, and according to our investigation, it is Millicent who is behind him. Guvet whispered in Canaan's ear.
Canaan nodded thoughtfully, in the original movie, the Minister of Magic was ultimately held by Fudge, a man with a weak personality and obsession with power and money.
He made many mistakes during his reign, and even did not believe that Voldemort had returned, which led to the Ministry of Magic being infiltrated by the Death Eaters, and finally impeached and removed from the position of minister.
However, with Dumbledore in this case, the minister's position will not be his turn anyway.
As the campaign for ministers began, the crowd moved to an empty circular conference hall.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to the 32nd ministerial election in the United Kingdom," an old man with dark white hair said from the stage.
"This is the current Speaker of the Wizengamot, Radoforce Dumbledore. The two sat in the back seats, and Goodett reminded him.
“... At present, we in the Ministry of Magic have received thirteen thousand vote letters, and after our review and discussion in the Wizengamot, three people have finally been qualified to run for Minister. ”
"Cornelius Fudge, Barty Crouch, and Albus Dumbledore!"
There was a round of applause.
At this time, Millicent walked up to the stage in a bright black suit and neat white oily hair, cleared his throat, and said aloud: "As the outgoing Minister of Magic, I am very sad because I have to stay away from this position that I have fought for all my life. At the same time, I was in a happy mood, because during my tenure as minister, the Ministry of Magic flourished and put an end to the ambitions of the mysterious people... ,”
"However, for the false reports that appeared some time ago, I would like to ask everyone..."
As he spoke, Millicent suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes were gradually becoming strange, and he even heard the laughter from the audience.
"Minister, Minister, your hair," one of the Aurors in the front row whispered.
Hair?
Millicent reached for his head and saw that his white hair was falling out in patches, and the top of his head had become bare.
"Damn it!"
Millicent lost his composure, and he stared hard at the two in the back row.
It must have been done by the Alchemy Foundation!
The bad stuff isn't over yet, though.
At this time, he suddenly realized that his right hand was not controlled.
Not good!
"Smack!"
A crisp slap hit him hard in the face.
"I'm guilty, I'm a pureblood, I'm selfish, I buy murder, I molest women. He fell to his knees and slapped himself hard as he aloud confessed his mistake.
This scene undoubtedly shocked everyone present, and many reporters picked up their cameras to record this remarkable moment.
Even tomorrow's newspaper front-page headline, they have it all figured out.
"British Minister of Magic Millicent openly admits his crimes!"
"Quiet!" said Radofors, the speaker of Wizengamot, in a loud and powerful voice, like a tranquilizer in the hearts of everyone.
He instructed the Aurors on either side, "Send our minister back first. Then he looked at the crowd and said slowly: "Minister Millicente's behavior may have been caused by a curse, and we in the Wizengamot will seriously investigate this matter and will not wronged anyone." ”
"Next, let's move on to the ministerial campaign..."
Looking at Millicente, who was taken off by the two of them, Canaan and Guvett looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment, Millicent could not interfere in the ministerial campaign.
The rest of the story went according to Canaan's plan.
Due to his young qualifications and the fact that Fudge was not present at the biggest backstage, he was eliminated by everyone and was the first to be out.
Seeing this result, he collapsed in his seat, crying and mourning, completely losing his previous high-spirited appearance.
As for the new director of the Law Enforcement Division, Barty Crouch was also exposed because of the identity of his son Death Eater, and the second was voted out.
Eventually, Dumbledore was elected the 32nd Minister of the Ministry of Magic, and he also served as Headmaster of Hogwarts!
Dumbledore wore a purple cloak, and dark blue eyes swept over everyone under half-moon eyes, and slowly spoke: "It's a great honor to be the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, but I think I'll be very busy in the future, after all, there has never been an old guy who can be both a headmaster and a minister and has dull eyes." ”
As he spoke, his expression became serious: "A kid once told me that the Ministry of Magic has been corrupted by a group of rotten, selfish, pure-blooded egoists. I find this to be a real thing to think about. ”
"So, here I am, from today onwards, the Ministry of Magic will no longer be an instrument of someone in power, it will treat every wizard fairly and justly, even... Muggles!"
Dumbledore's muddy, powerful voice echoed through the chamber, and everyone stood up with thunderous applause.
