"Humph! Do you think you're qualified to be a new basket? ”

To be honest, Lucius was indeed frightened by the news revealed by Clark at first, and his mind did not belong, but he was also worthy of being the patriarch of a large family, and he quickly reacted.

You Clark and a child can get out of front of that adult, so what am I afraid of? At the very least, for the time being, possibly, maybe there is no need to be afraid.

As soon as he figured it out, the intelligent intelligence regained the high ground, and the true nature of Slytherin was revealed.

"Of course I'm qualified!" Clark looked at Lucius with a determined face, and a spirit of self-sacrifice was about to come out.

[Bluff] skill, activate!

"Counting the wizarding world today, how many pure-blooded wizard families are left? If I am not qualified enough, is your filial son qualified enough? ”

Clark took a half-step forward.

"Hogwarts, a great man, but among the young wizards in the school, who else can have the ability of me to do such a big thing in the first year, and involve you and Headmaster Dumbledore, the so-called savior?"

He took another half-step forward.

"I come from the famous Prit family, my family has a lot of wealth, a lot of connections, and my uncles and elders are all over the wizarding world. At school, the four Weasley children are close to me, the heir of the Longbottom family is my good friend, Harry Potter is the only one, and your son is studying at Hogwarts, don't you think about him? ”

Take it one step further.

"In terms of background, in terms of connections, in terms of bloodline, in terms of ability, what point am I not as good as when the Dark Lord was young?"

Clark's voice was like a hammer, striking at Lucius's heart. He stood in front of the other like this, stretched out his hands, and held Lucius's hands on the snake staff, and held them tightly.

"Uncle Lucius, Draco and I are a bit related by blood, and he has to call me a cousin in terms of identity. He is powerful, but he is now just a bone in the grave, and Dumbledore doesn't want to see the pure-bloods, and Harry Potter is under his hands, do you think he will let you befriend? ”

After a heartfelt analysis, Lucius's face relaxed.

"Among the younger generation, I am the only one who is the most suitable. The world is ours and yours, but in the end it's ours. I hope that in us, even if you don't fully support me, my eldest nephew, you will have to show favor when it is time to show goodwill. Why do you want to make a feud with me? ”

"You...... Very good, very good," Lucius looked at Clark again, and for the first time he felt that he had lost his eyes.

The child in front of him with a smile as bright as the sun was even more terrifying than the grumpy Voldemort at the beginning, but he had a little bit of the shadow of Dumbledore he had just seen. It's just that compared to Dumbledore, he is more dangerous and more unscrupulous, is this a monster?

Of course, Clark didn't know how his cheap uncle complained about himself in his heart, he just saw Lucius bow his head and succumb.

"Draco is at the same level as you, and he will have to ask you to take care of him as an older brother in the future," Lucius smiled for the first time, he was afraid that even Malfoy had never seen such a kind father, "If there is anything, you just tell him, if he can't do it, you yell at him, scold him, let him come to me, my uncle is in the Ministry of Magic, and he is still a little thin." ”

Slytherin's judgment of the situation, the wisdom of self-preservation, and the supremacy of victory, as a typical example, the Malfoys even more vividly interpret the nature of the wall-head grass.

Naturally, Clark wouldn't fully believe his words, but it would be enough to push him to this point.

So he smiled directly and said, "Then I really have something to do, I hope to trouble Uncle Lucius." I've heard that the Ministry of Magic's review process is very slow, and the school is about to be closed, so the procedures for applying for a dragon farm need to be speeded up,"

When old Malfoy heard this, this matter was simple, and it was just a matter of one sentence, so he hurriedly agreed. The communication between the two ended in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere.

It's just that at the end of the separation, Clark asked inadvertently: "By the way, Uncle Lucius, I heard that when the Magical Beasts Management Department reviews this information, it needs the applicant to go over, and the procedures are troublesome, and the time is relatively long, and it will last until midnight, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Lucius paused for a moment and nodded, "Ah, perhaps." ”

After saying that, he shook his robe and strode away.

……

The next day, the disappointed Hogwarts students were greeted with their last surprise before the holidays.

Early in the morning, Cornelius Fudge, the British Minister of Magic, led a team to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to carry out research activities with the theme of "going deep into the grassroots, understanding the grassroots, and serving the grassroots", and conveyed the spirit of the meeting of the Ministry of Magic on building a service-oriented Ministry of Magic in the new era to the school staff.

He said that the people's needs for a better life are, first of all, the need for public services. From the Ministry of Magic's point of view, it is to fulfill its duties and provide better public services; From the people's point of view, it is the various needs of yearning for a better life; What the people need determines what public services the government needs to provide.

Two leaders from the Dangerous Animals Control and Management Office of the Department of Magical Beasts Management also participated in the research activity.

Fudge stressed that departments at all levels of the Ministry of Magic should earnestly understand the spirit of the meeting, conscientiously convey it, listen to the suggestions and needs of the people at the grassroots level, think about what the masses think, be anxious about what the masses are anxious about, and do what the masses need.

He pointed out that it is necessary to strictly implement the plan and ensure that the responsibility is assigned to the people. Departments at all levels should carry out service work and achieve "four wants and four don'ts".

The service attitude should be enthusiastic, not indifferent; Language communication should be sincere, and do not use bad words to hurt others; Conduct yourself properly, and don't ask for bribes; We should take the initiative in carrying out our work and do not pass the buck.

It is worth affirming that after the Ministry of Magic's rectification education and practice activities were carried out, most departments were able to check their own problems and rectify them in a timely manner.

However, the service work is endless, and in the face of new problems and new challenges, we should be fearless, and we should do a good job on the basis of "four wants and four don'ts".

During the investigation, Minister Fudge paid his condolences to the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the recipient of the Order of Merlin of the First Class, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, and the centenarian Headmaster Dumbledore, learned about the life, health and work of the old headmaster, and asked with concern what difficulties there were.

Headmaster Dumbledore expressed his gratitude to Minister Fudge for taking the well-being of the wizarding crowd to heart, and reported on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's application to establish a dragon farm.

Secretary Fudge was on the spot, giving instructions on the matter, and there was no delay in doing so.

The Department of Magical Beasts Management, a relevant department, also said that it would fully implement the policies put forward by Minister Fudge, effectively help Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry solve various problems, ensure that the services are in place, satisfy the teaching staff, and reassure the students.

Finally, Minister Fudge led the team to say goodbye to the school staff.
