Chapter 270: New Moves
It only took a week or so for the entire Ministry of Magic to start functioning again. Most of the Aurors and administrative staff have returned to their jobs. And Fudge's die-hard loyalists like Umbridge were kicked out of the power department without hesitation. The entire Ministry of Magic continued to function as if nothing had happened. But something is completely different.
At this time, Lin Xuan began to implement his first new policy. That is, the UK-US exchange student program. In Lin Xuan's eyes, Dumbledore was a good mage. However, the standard of his teaching of students is far from perfect. Or that the level of teaching in his later years is not good. Look at what Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ginny, Luna, and even Decora have taught the new generation of young wizards.
In the second half of this old guy's life, most of his energy was focused on intriguing with Voldemort. Perhaps his most brilliant student, Tom, is Voldemort, who broke his heart. I feel that in his later years, he has not seriously cultivated a successor at all. A few magicians with such a talent can only receive a comic education in the history of magic, spell theory, etc., in that rotten and dreary school.
The news that the new Minister of Magic would visit Hogwoods quickly spread throughout the wizarding world. For Lin Xuan's first public action since taking office, there was no doubt that it once again attracted the attention of the entire magic world. At this time, most people already knew that Lin Xuan had his own magic academy in the United States.
According to the rules of the wizarding world, this is absolutely not allowed. It's as if Dumbledore would have to resign as Headmaster of Hogwoods if he was to run for Minister of Magic. The Minister of Magic and the Headmaster of the Academy of Magic must never be the same person. That's why Fudge was able to coexist with Dumbledore. Because Dumbledore's interest in school was far greater than his interest in the Ministry of Magic. Fudge knew he was no threat to himself.
But Lin Xuan was different, he broke into the Ministry of Magic openly and defeated the previous minister. And it has been supported by most magic families without a word. In terms of strength and skill, he is more than twice as strong as Fudge's old bureaucrat. So in this case, no one will jump out and say the opposite. This new minister seems to be kind. But just look at all the positions of real power in the entire Ministry of Magic, they are all hand-picked by him. Kindness is only his appearance, and power is the essence. This is a character a hundred times more dangerous than Fudge.
In addition, there is another issue that is most concerned by the people who eat melons. That is who is stronger Lin Xuan or Dumbledore. Lin Xuan defeated Fudge with a single blow. Showing their great strength. But now everyone knows that Fudge is a parallel import. Therefore, Lin Xuan's record was undoubtedly discounted a lot. And Dumbledore is also a veteran first mage who has been famous for many years. Defeat the first Dark Lord Gran Ward, and suppress the second Dark Lord Lord Voldemort. Its record is even more obvious to all.
Since the moment Lin Xuan invaded the Ministry of Magic, there have been countless British magicians waiting for Dumbledore to stand up. Defeat your opponents as you always do and save your face for the British wizarding community. Surprisingly, however, Dumbledore did not respond to the matter in the slightest. Hogwoods continued to attend classes as usual, and was not affected in the slightest at all.
And Lin Xuan's 'visit' to Hogwoods this time was considered a challenge. The current Minister of the Ministry of Magic challenges the First ** Division to prove his concept of respecting the strong. This statement quickly gained a lot of acceptance.
When Lin Xuan and Dumbledore didn't say anything at all. The major media have made their grievances and hatreds clear. What's more, even found a record of Dumbledore's trip to New York.
They found a startling problem by comparing Dumbledore's trip to New York before and after. That is, Dumbledore should have fought Lin Xuan when he was in New York. Because at that time, New York College was already established. At the beginning of its establishment, Dumbledore also congratulated him personally.
A few years later, Dumbledore traveled to New York, and it was only natural that he would stop by. And after that return, Dumbledore was silent for a while. After that, it was time for him to return and take over as Headmaster of Hogwoods. And he also put forward a large number of teaching reform proposals. But in the end, the vast majority of the recommendations were rejected. Hogwoods continued the tradition.
And by combining all these clues, one conclusion can be drawn. Dumbledore had come into contact with the closed Academy of Magic before anyone else. And in that college, I was hit by some kind of idea. That's why there was a later teaching reform. It's a pity that he was vetoed by the old bureaucrat Fudge. The British wizarding world is stagnant, and the school on the other side of the ocean is training batch after batch of powerful mages. That's why we have today's scene. The Ministry of Magic is crushed, and an Asian takes control of the British wizarding world.
To be honest, when Lin Xuan saw this report, he couldn't help but praise the writer's brain. Because the other party has already deduced most of the experience just by relying on some trivial clues. It's quite amazing.
"Check out the writer of this article, it's a talent. He could be given a position in the Muggle Incident Department. Lin Xuan handed the newspaper to his assistant, and then ordered.
"Yes, Minister. It's almost time. It's time for us to leave for Hogwoods. ”
"Let's go, then."
Hogwoods prepared a grand welcoming ceremony. The new Minister of Magic visits the British Academy of Magic, a gimmick that has attracted countless media outlets. Countless media outlets arrived at Hogwoods early that day, waiting for first-hand press material. Because Lin Xuan's whereabouts were kept secret, they couldn't grasp it. So I had to go to Hogwoods in advance and wait for the rabbit.
In front of the Hogwoods square, students from all grades lined up to welcome them with flowers in their hands. If Fudge had arrived, Dumbledore would never have put on such a battle. At most, invite him to the principal's office for a cup of tea. But Lin Xuan is different. This is a ruthless man who directly seized the Ministry of Magic by force. Not to mention the fact that there were more than a dozen media outlets broadcasting live, and Dumbledore didn't want to make a bad impression on the other party in such a public place.
After all, Hogwoods spends more than it earns. The vast majority of the expenses are still funded by the Ministry of Magic, as well as the sponsorship of the major families. And both of these were under Lin Xuan's control. So Dumbledore still came to formalism against his will.
The trio of saviors were also in the welcoming procession. The three of them were talking in a whisper.
"I heard that this new minister is an Asian." It was Harry's voice.
"Well, I've also heard that he knocked out Minister Fudge with just one stun." Hermione added.
"Oh my God, I passed out. I will do both. Ron hurried to brush up on his presence.
"yes, but your stun can only stun a squirrel. And the other side knocked out Minister Fudge. Hermione relented.
"Secretary Fudge is an old bureaucrat. There is no real talent at all, Dumbledore is the real ** teacher. "Harry was undoubtedly a fan of Dumbledore.
"Then you say, Dumbledore or the minister, who is more powerful?" Ron continued to soak in his presence.
"How do I know, but I guess I'll know soon." Hermione always sees things a lot more clearly than two. She was already sensitively aware that the visit could come with a lot of different things.
