Chapter 414: Percy: I've been annoyed lately

On the observatory, Zhang Xu leaned against the stone wall, listening to Percy gush about what he had encountered at work.

For Percy, it was a rare way to vent the stress in her heart.

While at Hogwarts, Percy was proud, and he also had the capital of pride. Under the pressure of Bill and Charlie, two excellent brothers, he is strict with himself and grows up to be not inferior to his brother. His tenure as Prefect and Student Council President during his time at Hogwarts was a testament to his efforts.

The ambitious Percy entered the Ministry of Magic with his pride after graduation, and then leapfrogged one year at a time in less than three years, until now he actually climbed to the position of head of the Auror Office.

At the beginning, Zhang Xu was stunned after getting the news, how could the leadership position of such a powerful department fall into the hands of such a young man, and how to look at this kind of thing as a senior leader of the Ministry of Public Security as a student who graduated two years is not magical or scientific. You must know that the competition for this position was fierce at that time, and many old Aurors, including Neville's father Frank Longbottom, were popular candidates. At that time, this incident made Zhang Xu have the idea that it was not Percy who was the protagonist of this world.

Later, Zhang Xu learned from Cedric's letter that Percy was able to parachute into this position, in addition to relying on "always support the Minister of Magic, who is the Minister of Magic", and also be able to shoot a season of "Yes, Director!" A series of struggles and operations in it. At least from the fact that the members of the Order of the Phoenix in the Aurors did not object to this matter, it was clear that something was wrong.

After so many years of hard work, the fact that a young man parachuted into his head to become a leader really made many Aurors unhappy, especially in this tense period. There may not be such a thing as yang and yin disobedience, but there is still such a thing as staring at Percy with a pair of eyes waiting for him to make a mistake.

In any powerful department, if you want to be a leader, it is impossible to convince your subordinates without excellent skills.

This shows that Percy is under a lot of pressure at work.

The open and secret battles inside the Auror office have never been passed on, so the specific details of what happened in the office are unknown to outsiders, Zhang Xu just knows that Percy can shoot "Yes, Director!" after some time. After the hard work of the second season, he finally gained a foothold in this position with his brilliant mind.

Zhang Xu was noncommittal about Percy's choice, even if Percy chose to sell tea eggs in Diagon Alley, he wouldn't say anything, Voldemort went to work as a salesperson after graduation, who can guarantee that Percy, who sells tea eggs, will not be able to achieve a career in the future.

On the observatory, Zhang Xu listened from the sidelines, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, and sometimes arguing with Percy on some issues.

As friends, it is our duty to share our joys and worries with each other and help each other solve some problems within our ability.

When it comes to friends, Zhang Xu feels that his behavior is quite similar to Slughorn. Slughorn likes to hide behind the scenes and give people ideas, but he never stands in the foreground. And Zhang Xu doesn't help you make up your mind, when you make up your mind, he can provide you with corresponding advice and help. For example, he did not object to Hermione's house-elf liberation movement, and he would provide Hermione with theoretical help when needed.

As a fairly passable informant, he could read between the lines of what Percy said that the form that appeared in England was on the verge of being very dangerous.

Ordinary people and wizards in Britain, who had just enjoyed a stable life, returned to the days when the clouds of terrorist attacks obscured the sky. The dissatisfaction of the people, who have lived a stable life, has accumulated to a very high level.

Percy hesitated for a moment after chattering about the work of the Ministry of Magic, and then said, "Do you know that the Ministries of Magic of several countries are preparing to organize an international Auror organization?" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xu said with some surprise, "I haven't heard of this." ”

"This was brought up by the French Ministry of Magic not long ago, and I thought you would know." Percy said, "The Ministries of Magic are now interested in agreeing to join the organization as the first members of the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Ireland. Because there are seven countries, this plan is now known as the 'Rainbow Project'. ”

Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that the French Ministry of Magic is frightened by the current situation in the United Kingdom, so it has to make some arrangements in advance." Because next year, the Muggle world in France will host the Football World Cup, and the wizarding world will host the Quidditch World Cup, and it will be a big problem if there is a large-scale Dark Wizard attack at that time. You know, many of Muggle's top football players are worth millions of Galleons. ”

"I reckon it has something to do with a pre-Christmas case of a Death Eater attempting to attack a Muggle footballer named Shellham." Percy said, "Several Death Eaters tried to break into the athlete's home and cast a Confusion Charm on him to behave strangely while playing on the court. Our men were following one of the Death Eaters at the time, and we ended up stopping them just as they were about to start their operation. ”

There were too many "......" slots, and Zhang Xu didn't know where to start throwing up for a while.

"And what do you think of this organization?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Now that the general framework of the organization has been negotiated, I may represent the British Ministry of Magic in the general secretariat of this organization." Percy said.

And Zhang Xu complained on the side: "Is your work cursed, just like the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, you can only do each job for one year?" ”

"If you have the opportunity, you have to go for it." "It's a great opportunity. ”

"But don't you think your connections at the grassroots level are too thin?" Zhang Xu asked, "And the families in the upper echelons who are willing to support you are always a little hesitant when they support you." Because you have been very unstable at work, you have stayed in each place for too short a time, on the one hand, you can't make deep friendships with your colleagues, and on the other hand, others can't see where you are going, so you have worries about your future, so you are always skeptical when investing in you. ”

After listening to this, Percy put his hands on the buttress of the stone wall, looking at the campus at dusk and sunset, while thinking about Zhang Xu's words just now.

Zhang Xu waited for him to make a decision.

I have to say that Percy has mostly been smooth sailing when facing career choices along the way, which makes it easy for him to drift away when making a choice, thinking that his steady progress is a norm, and he doesn't see some unusual places behind it.

After a long time, Percy slammed his right hand into the battlement, as if he had made some kind of inner decision.

"I decided that I would still be in that Auror Organization, but not to the General Secretariat, but to join the 'Rainbow Squad', and then work there for at least five years." Percy said firmly.

"What department is that?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"That's a joint strike force of multinational Aurors proposed by Mr. John Clark to deal with tricky dark wizards." Percy said.

"That's not bad either." Zhang Xu nodded and said.

Just as Zhang Xu was about to continue, Percy's voice interrupted him.

Percy took out the communicator and looked at it, and then his face suddenly turned serious.

Seeing this, Zhang Xu was about to step aside to avoid suspicion, when Percy said: "There was an explosion at the funeral of the British government's agent No. 1 that I planned to attend on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, and almost all the British agents present at the funeral died, except Johnny Ingrid unscathed. ”

Zhang Xu was speechless on the side, can you tell him this kind of thing?

Percy hurriedly said goodbye and left, and Zhang Xu also took out a communicator to send the message after he left.
