23. The Minister of Magic takes office

The Mephisto family has created a lot of notoriety in history, but the real glory period is now, from the establishment of the Ministry of Magic to the present day, there are a total of eleven ministers of magic (here according to the previous ministers of magic already given in the original book). )

And their tenure is very interesting, it is recorded that the first Minister of Magic served for 60 years, until his death, and he was considered to have left the position of Minister of Magic, and the first Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom was a woman.

A very politically skilled witch, if the minister of the Ministry of Magic did not resign voluntarily, as long as there is no big stain, it is completely possible to work for life, and there seems to be no minister in the Ministry of Magic to retire.

Among the eleven ministers of magic, some have been in office for a long time, and some have only been in office for a year, which occurred during the dark phase of Voldemort's time, and the minister of magic at that time did not actually have much real power.

This is the first time that the Mephisto family has appeared a minister of the Ministry of Magic, and Fourmond is not very enthusiastic about this, and always feels that his status and position as a minister have been pushed by Sherlock.

"Don't be bitter, Dad, you're going to be the most powerful person in the wizarding world right now." Sherlock looked at Fourmond and said, they now occupy the office of the Minister of Magic, and Cornelius Fudge had moved out of here last night, he is now the director of the Department of International Affairs of the Ministry of Magic, and he has not left the Ministry of Magic, although he is timid, Fudge's political ability is still relatively good.

Fu Mund glared at Sherlock, "Actually, I can see that I am nothing in the eyes of some real great wizards, such as you, Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, but none of these four people died, although Grindelwald was locked up......"

"Are you jealous of your son?" Sherlock, of course, could hear his dad joking.

"Curse you, if you really die, I estimate that I will return to my home tomorrow and die tragically, and the Mephisto family will be wiped out." Fourmond deliberately emphasized that although the current Mephisto family is prosperous, the spine in it is Sherlock.

Without Sherlock, the family would continue to decline, just like an ordinary pure-blood family in the wizarding world, just with a pure-blood reputation.

The halls of the Ministry of Magic had long been filled with a bustling crowd, and only the first few seats had seats, where some old wizards who were respected in the wizarding world sat out.

The first row of Dumbledore is the guard, and behind Dumbledore, the second and third rows are the heads of the four Hogwarts houses, and next to Dumbledore are the previous Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, the director of St. Mungo's Hospital, the president of the Daily Prophet, the French Minister of Magic, the German Deputy Minister of Magic, and the original author of Where Are the Fantastic Beasts, who is only twenty years younger than Dumbledore, but looks older than Dumbledore.

Amid a round of applause, Fumond slowly walked to the high platform in front of the Fountain of the Magic Brothers, and pointed his wand to his throat so that his voice could echo throughout the halls of the Ministry of Magic.

"It is a pity that the honorable Mr. Cornelius Fudge has resigned, and I myself can only assume the position of Minister of Magic at this time of danger, and in fact it is all the more important for wizards who love peace and stability in the wizarding world at this juncture to be united in their efforts......"

Sherlock found Asinsa and the others when Fu Meng was speaking, and Asin Sha looked at Fu Meng on the stage and couldn't help but say, "I really didn't expect my father to be so eloquent." ”

"The manuscripts are all prepared in advance, just memorize them in your head, which is not a difficult task for wizards." Sherlock finished and looked at Harry, "How's it going?" ”

"Yes, but I always dream and dream a lot of things."

"Voldemort?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Voldemort, I dream of myself, and my mom and dad and Blake."

Sherlock sighed, "I don't know if it's a bad thing to give that stone to you. ”

"I don't need it anymore, I'm at Dursley's house, and I won't continue to carry it with me this time school starts." Harry affirmed.

"Very well, Harry, you can tell the difference between falsehood and reality." Sherlock said.

"Then Mr. Sherlock, take the liberty of asking, what kind of place is the Dead Place, and you are the only living person who has entered the Dead Land and returned." Harry asked.

"Harry, it's actually quite presumptuous, death is not a good feeling, but I can guarantee that the soul of the dead absolutely exists, and the place of death also exists, and entering there is like sleeping, the ticket is death, and it is a one-way journey and there is no return." Sherlock patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Harry, you're going to die sooner or later, so you don't need to miss it, after you die, you'll naturally see the people you miss, so it's just a matter of time, you just wait for you to die."

Harry, Hermione, and Asinsha looked embarrassed, was that a weird comfort.

I never thought that death would have such an effect.

"So...... Thank you. And Fu Mond on the stage also finished the last sentence, took a deep breath and walked off the stage, from today onwards, he will begin to fulfill his duties as Minister of Magic in England.

All the wizards applauded, and the sound in the hall of the Ministry of Magic was like thunder.

"To congratulate Mr. Fourmond on his appointment as Minister of Magic, Lord Voldemort has a gift for you." The sudden sound made the hall of the Ministry of Magic suddenly calm down.

All the wizards looked in astonishment in the direction of the voice, a young man who looked to have just graduated from school, but with a long box in his hand.

"That guy wasn't on the wanted list, he looked like a young man who had just joined Voldemort's wing." Lykel suddenly approached Sherlock and asked the other Aurors to capture the young wizard.

"What did you just say, young man? I don't know you, you shouldn't have come out of Hogwarts. Dumbledore stood up, tall and white in the young man's eyes.

"I said it was a congratulatory gift that my master asked me to give to Minister Fourmond."

"What is it?"

"Why don't you open it up and see for yourself." The young man had a defiant face.

Dumbledore looked carefully at the box in the other man's hand, he had already suffered a big loss from the curse of the dark arts.

"Why don't I open it." Sherlock walked over, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and now the most powerful archwizard in the wizarding world gathered two at once.

"You open it yourself." Dumbledore looked at the young man, and the new headmaster of Durmstrang on the side said that the young wizard in front of him was a graduate of Durmstrang this year, and he didn't expect to join Voldemort's camp.

"You guys are so pathetic...... He was so afraid of his master's prestige. The young man sneered, trying to open the box, but Sherlock snatched it.

"No magic can escape the silent sensations in me." Sherlock convinced Dumbledore, and then opened the wooden box, which contained an ordinary old white wand.

"A wand?" Sherlock was puzzled, Durmstran's new Headmaster was gasping for air, and Dumbledore's face was drastically changed.

"What's wrong?" Sherlock looked at the men quizzically.

"Minister Fourmond, the Death Eaters should be imprisoned in Azkaban, and the boy's actions don't need to be judged at all." Dumbledore watched as Formond proposed, and he was even eager for the Aurors to lock up the young man in front of him.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore's words were shouted out by the young man in fear.

"Mr. Grindelwald asked me to say hello to Dumbledore for you, remember the thirty-five letters you wrote him? Hahahahaha! The young man laughed maniacally.

Dumbledore was silent, and the halls of the Ministry of Magic began to become quieter as the name Grindelwald was spoken.

Grindelwald was a name from a long time ago, and once upon a time it was no less intimidating than Voldemort.

"He's out, he's out, it's flat now, Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort...... Hahaha! These were the last words the young man said after being taken down.

"Minister Fourmond, I think you'll have to send someone to check on the news of Newmondard, I think there must be a lot of loss." Dumbledore said with a headache.

"The two major prisons in the wizarding world, Azkaban and Newmengard, I just didn't expect Voldemort to really talk about that old guy, it was my mistake." Sherlock sighed, but decided to make a trip to Newmengard himself.

The environment there is said to be even worse than in Azkaban.

"I'm sorry Master Sherlock, but what does this mean?" At this time, a reporter from the Daily Prophet approached and asked, and the president of the Daily Prophet wanted to retreat from the other party, but was stopped by Sherlock.

"It means that the war is on par and Voldemort has found his true ally." Sherlock looked at Dumbledore, he just didn't expect Voldemort to go to Newmengard so early.

In the original book, after Dumbledore's death, Voldemort infiltrated Newmengard in order to find out the news of the Elder Wand, and Grindelwald mocked Voldemort for never getting the Elder Wand and was killed by the other party.

Perhaps the news of Dumbledore's death also tormented Grindelwald, and at that time, the other party was also determined to die.

But now that Dumbledore is not dead, Voldemort entered Nurmengard, clearly looking for Grindelwald to get the other party out of there to help him, as long as Voldemort takes the time to convince him, then Grindelwald will be tempted even if he doesn't plan to go out.

After all, freedom, who does not desire.

Sherlock personally went to Nürmungard, surrounded by the fire element Hormiz Prometheus and the cloud element Homitz Zeus, he had never been to Nürmungard, so he had to fly over first, it only took him an hour and a half, and Voldemort had only rescued Grindelwald three hours earlier, and then arranged for the British Ministry of Magic to send Grindelwald's wand.

In fact, Grindelwald's original wand was useless and had long been damaged, and Voldemort would definitely prepare a new one for him.

The guards of Newmengard suffered heavy losses, and Voldemort also pulled a number of attractive prisoners from the prison, and the rest were completely old and sick.

Moving to the Ministry of Magic, Sherlock explained to Dumbledore and the others the truth of the matter, and the lack of Grindelwald or even the body was not enough to show that the other party must have been taken away by Voldemort.

"That's ......," Dumbledore muttered to himself, muttering something quietly, but none of them heard it very clearly.

It was the first time Sherlock had seen Dumbledore so sad.

"I have written thirty-five letters to Grindelwald, and if this person who is actually alive knows Grindelwald best, it must be me, I defeated him, but I also know him best, I thought he had given up those foolish ideas to spend the rest of his life in a cell with stone walls, but I didn't expect ......"

Sherlock shook his head, the rest of the matter should be a headache for these adults.

"I now think that I should have killed Grindelwald in the first battle......" Dumbledore looked at Sherlock seriously, and Sherlock knew the old man's thoughts, as he had less than a year to live.

Now Dumbledore can still help Sherlock contain Voldemort and Grindelwald, but when Dumbledore's life ends, this balance will be broken, unless one of Voldemort and Grindelwald has died by then, otherwise Sherlock will have to face two strong enemies alone.

"There's always a way, I just need to be prepared, besides!" Sherlock looked at the others and said, "Father still has to step up his efforts as the Minister of Magic to get in touch with the magical regimes of various European countries, now is really the time to prepare for war at any time, it is possible that Voldemort and Grindelwald will come to the door in the next moment, and no one in the whole of Europe will be spared." ”

"The Daily Prophet will tell you all the facts, and wizards who are too young will forget who Grindelwald really is, and how terrible it really is."

After Sherlock finished speaking, everyone could only agree with the current facts.

In the evening, the banquet that was supposed to celebrate Fumond's appointment as Minister of Magic was cancelled by default, and Dumbledore and the four Headmasters returned to Hogwarts early, but Dumbledore took Harry with him as he left.

There is still a month and a half to go before the end of the summer vacation, and by this time the magical world has been very clearly divided into two hostile forces.

Sherlock and Dumbledore target Voldemort and Grindelwald.

One side is righteous and the other side is evil.

However, only Dumbledore knew his own situation, and the scales were tilted towards the evil side, and he could only secretly pray that his lover would be lost.
