Chapter 146: The General Trend
Dumbledore: "......"
Professor McGonagall: "......"
Professor Snape: "......"
Umbridge (unconscious): "......"
Lin Xiaoan: "......"
In the principal's office, several people stared at each other for a minute.
Sure enough, it was Professor Snape who was the first to speak (mocking) (sarcastic): "In public, the student used the Stun Charm on an official of the Ministry of Magic, this is the first time since the founding of Hogwarts, worthy of the brave and fearless Gryffindor - I suggest that Lin Xiaoan be awarded a Medal of Bravery, Headmaster, what do you think?" ”
……
Just a few words that are not painful or itchy are not enough for Professor Snape to guide Lin Xiao'an in making potions on weekdays, Lin Xiaoan's expression is neither sad nor joyful, I stand still, not even a single hair on my face.
Dumbledore said happily, "Severus, I think your proposal is very constructive......"
Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall said in unison: "Albus!! ”
So Albus Gay Dumbledore said to Lin Xiao'an solemnly: "Xiao An, your behavior is very inappropriate, when Lady Umbridge comes to her senses, I hope you can apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness." ”
Lin Xiaoan rolled his eyes in his heart: Apologize? She deserves it?! If it weren't for the decision of labor and management, this woman would be cruel and abusive to your dear darling Harry-Savior Potter in the future, and the Dursleys would be a litter of white rabbits compared to her, okay?!
"It's come to this, Professor, let's not talk about these things - the Ministry of Magic is unkind to our Order of the Phoenix, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, gather all the members now, and take over the Ministry of Magic by force."
……
The expression on Dumbledore's face...... It's like he swallowed a whole lime just now, and his facial features are wrinkled together: "Uh...... Ann, I think we need to think about that...... Currently ......"
"Huh...... Presently? What is the current situation, are you going to pretend that you don't know? The Ministry of Magic's public opinion is extremely unfavorable to us.
Every day, the Daily Prophet publishes articles belittling you and Harry, you have lost your title as President of the International Confederation of Wizards, you have been removed from the Wizengamot, and your public supporters have been suppressed openly and covertly—"
Professor Snape's eyes were fierce: "Lin Xiao'an! ”
"The main culprit of all this is the appeasement represented by Fudge, who are content with the status quo and unwilling to admit Voldemort's resurrection, and even because of this cowardly and incompetent fear, they portray you and Harry as grandstanding clowns—"
"Enough!" Professor Snape stood up.
"Blindly tolerating concessions will only make them more aggressive - well, I won't talk about it."
Lin Xiao'an crossed his left and right index fingers, raised his hand and gestured an "X" to his mouth to shut up—because Professor Snape had pulled out his wand!
……
"Don't get excited, Severus." Dumbledore stopped Professor Snape's intent to enforce family law against Lin Xiaoan, and then asked Lin Xiaoan, "Xiaoan, why do you think we can take over the Ministry of Magic without causing a backlash?" As you say, at the moment the appeasements have the upper hand—"
"They just 'seem' outnumbered, Professor. I think the current situation is like an olive, and we are on opposite sides of the camp with fewer people at both ends.
For the most, the ordinary wizards, plus the middle and low-ranking officials and staff of the Ministry of Magic, are nothing more than a crowd of people—the silent majority, nothing more. Whoever comes to power and holds the right to speak, they will listen to whomever they want.
All we need to do is get rid of Fudge and come to an agreement with the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic - you see, Fudge can't even find a second lackey who can charge for him besides Umbridge, so what else do you have to hesitate about? Ministry of Magic, at your fingertips! ”
……
Dumbledore pondered for a moment, seemingly a little moved, and also seemed a little embarrassed: "But ......"
"After taking over the Ministry of Magic, we can give out a special reward. As long as you have worked for the Ministry of Magic for more than three years and passed the evaluation, you can get a bonus of no less than twelve months' monthly salary - I pay for it. ”
Dumbledore has always regarded money as dung, and he will never change his mind because of Lin Xiaoan's words, but he feels that the time is indeed ripe: "Fawkes (Gay Deng's Phoenix), please inform all the members of the Order of the Phoenix and assemble at the headquarters." ”

Gay Deng (smiling): "Xiao An, how much money do you have?" ”
Lin Xiaoan (picking his nose): "How much do you want?" ”
Gay Deng (rubbing his hands): "How much do you have, how much do I want~"
Lin Xiaoan (sneering): "How much do you want, how much I want!" ”
Gay Deng (dumbfounded): "! Xiao An! So you're so rich?! ”
Lin Xiaoan (continue to pick his nose): "Hehe...... Labor and management rank seventh in the world on the list of whether to support wealth or not! Any idea what that means?! It means that labor and management want to help the aunt, help the old man, help the old man, and help a few, and don't take regret medicine! Just ask you if you accept it?! ”
Gay Deng (with tears in his eyes): "Serve, I take it!" ”
