16. Controversy
Located in the heart of London, England.
A government agency of the British wizarding world hidden in Muggle society.
In the office of the Minister of Magic of the British Ministry of Magic, there was another fierce quarrel.
"Okay guys, listen up, I've just taken the position, I'm just after Christmas this year, and I'm the Minister of Magic, but the main affairs I dealt with in the first three months are all around 'Sherlock', a five-year-old child, and the spells he invented, and I, the Minister of Magic, are about to become a personal nanny for the Mephisto family's aftercare!"
Cornelius Fudge's voice was deafening, and everyone in the office was on pins and needles, and they had never noticed that Fudge had been so angry since he came to power.
He was indeed the Minister of Magic just after Christmas this year, and he had taken advantage of Voldemort's brutal dominance of the wizarding world.
The Minister of Magic definitely belongs to a joke.
But after Voldemort's disappearance, the new Minister of Magic, 'Millicent Barnold', thundered the Death Eaters and the so-called pure-blood families who leaned towards Voldemort, cleaning up the mess left by Voldemort's disappearance to the wizarding world.
It wasn't until the mess was almost cleaned up that Fudge came to power.
But in the first week of taking office as Minister of Magic, news came that 'Sherlock Mephisto', the descendant of Mephisto, a famous dark magic family in the entire European wizarding world, had invented a spell at the age of five.
This shocked Fudge, who had just come to power, and sent someone to check whether the news was true, and when the news was confirmed to be true, he immediately contacted the Merlin Order, and he personally led the way to the Mephisto family to award Sherlock the Merlin Badge of the third class.
In the wizarding world, Sherlock's hot spot has swiped a wave of popularity, and Fudge wants to let all the British wizarding people know that as long as wizards, young and old, have made some achievements, he, the minister, will not be indifferent, but will give each other as much honor as possible.
Let everyone understand that he is not an inactive minister.
To be honest, Fudge's behavior is still easy to make a good impression on wizards in the wizarding world.
But the next month, he got the news that the Mephisto children had invented another spell, and this spell had once caused Sherlock to fall into a whirlpool of rumors about Parseltongue's identity.
Discussions were already underway about whether someone with Parseltongue talent would pose a threat to the wizarding world, and Fudge felt that the Minister of Magic's job was finally on the right track.
But with Dumbledore's personal testimony, Sherlock's invention of the second spell has allowed Dumbledore to communicate with his pet phoenix.
And there are more and more wizards involved in the proof, so that Fudge has no way to unite with the Merlin Order to award Sherlock the Order of Merlin with the second-class Merlin again, and even Dumbledore has joined the members of the Merlin Order to invite Sherlock to join the Merlin Order, which makes Fudge unable to act later than others.
So Fudge also joined the ranks of referrers.
This time, Fudge had the feeling that he had been led to work that would not be voluntary, and that he had once again given the Mephisto family a free aftermath.
Finally, another month has passed, and Fudge has become more and more comfortable with the work of the Ministry of Magic, but the news of Sherlock has invented a third spell comes again.
Moreover, the spell has also received a joint recommendation from the wizarding world, experts in the study of magical plants, including some researchers in potion making.
It is a wonderful spell that allows magic plants and ordinary plants to have the ability to rejuvenate twice.
Faced with this time, Fudge didn't even bother to send someone to confirm it, and even couldn't help but say loudly in the office, "Is the Mephisto kid a magic printer?" Merlin probably didn't understand the correct pronunciation of spells when he was younger! Could it be that the people of the Mephisto family are all perverts, I now have some belief that one-fifth of the black magic in the wizarding world was invented by the Mephisto family, who else but them! ”
The Ministry of Magic has a total of eight departments, which are used to deal with all administrative incidents in the wizarding world and Muggle society.
The heads of eight of these departments were all in Fudge's office.
The director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement also said in a half-joking tone, "That little guy is really a gifted fellow, I think you should award him a first-class Merlin medal, after all, this is already the third spell." ”
Fudge glared at him viciously, "What if he invents a fourth spell, what kind of reward can I get!" Although the Ministry of Magic doesn't have to give a reward for the wizard's invention of spells, it is after all the heir of an ancient family, and he has done a lot of things that great wizards can't do at a young age, and if I, the minister, don't do it, people will disgust me! ”
"I think ...... anyway Even if it's that person...... The man who couldn't even mention his name didn't have this talent when he was a child, and if he also learned from the mysterious people to do evil, who else in the wizarding world could stop him! Hehe! ”
One of the officers joked to himself, but soon he noticed that everyone in the office was looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?"
"I think you'd better keep your mouth shut! Bastard! ”
The other party's face turned red with anger, but he didn't say anything.
"I hope that in the future, when discussing topics in my office, some people don't always bring up some scary topics." Fudge warned the heads of all departments with a blushing face.
"But back to the previous topic, it is undeniable that this time in the face of this 'Spring Spell', we must respond as soon as possible, Dean Saint Mungo, Mr. Oster especially admires Sherlock, and even has a magic spell that brings magic plants back to life, which greatly alleviates the shortage of St. Mungo's medicines, and since Sherlock invented the first spell and healed without a trace, Oster has established an unusual friendship with him."
Fudge said with some chagrin, "Now the relationship between the Mephisto family and St. Mungo is gradually getting closer because of a child, even though the current Mephisto has adopted a closed way of survival, and Dumbledore of Hogwarts, he admires Sherlock very much, and even invited him to visit Hogwarts before he was of school age." ”
Fudge is a man who likes to keep his rights for himself and is greedy for money, and since he became Minister of Magic, he has undoubtedly feared only Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Because the other party has been invited to the position of Minister of Magic many times, but the other party has just refused.
But this does not prevent Fudge from being jealous of Dumbledore's fame, prestige, and influence, and in the entire wizarding world, except for the disappeared Voldemort, only Dumbledore has the ability to threaten his position.
And now the Mephisto family and St. Mungo have a close relationship, and Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, has taken the initiative to woo him.
Fudge had come to see Mephisto as an imaginary enemy.
He muttered, "A very talented little wizard, Dumbledore has already chosen his right-hand man for the future, as well as St. Mungo, and the ancient family Mephisto." ”
Even if the current Mephisto is a little declining and closed, Fudge does not dare to underestimate this ancient family with a long heritage.
One is the only magical hospital in Europe, the other is Hogwarts, one of the three major houses in Europe, and the oldest magical family in Europe.
Together, the three make Fudge's head almost big.
"Ahem, how does Mr. Minister want to reward Sherlock." Umbridge stood by and kindly reminded.
In exchange for Fudge's furious treatment of "Reward! No! No way! It's just a spell invented, do you want me to communicate with the Order of Merlin to give him the Order of Merlin? That's impossible! I won't let him become the second Dumbledore to receive the Order of Merlin of the First Degree! ”
