"Do you know what it takes to become the British Minister for Magic?"

Nicol Lemay asked suddenly.

Luo Cheng was stunned by this question, if he asked him how he was going to climb up next, he would be able to say a thing or two, but Nicol Lemay opened his mouth and directly said that the British Minister of Magic, this answer Luo Cheng couldn't answer.

"Oh, I know what you think. You must want to, now you are just a small centaur liaison officer, in the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control is a cold bench of Shimizu Yamen, to think about the Minister of Magic is too far away, but I want to tell you, if you want to become the Minister of Magic, then it is best to think about it early, because the position of Minister is not so easy to do, you need to obtain qualifications, this matter you need to think about as soon as possible, Voldemort did not want to become the Minister of Magic in the first place, but he missed the opportunity, You can only come out and stir up trouble like Grindelwald. ”

"What qualifications?"

Luo Cheng also heard a freshness, and the emotional Voldemort rebelled because his career was not planned?

Nicol Lemay did not answer directly, but said: "The British Ministry of Magic was founded in 1707, because the previous promulgation of the International Secrets Act made many wizards uncomfortable, so the loose wizarding council at that time decided to set up a strong joint department of real power, responsible for helping wizards get used to the International Secrets Act, and protecting the wizarding world from Muggle attention. And the Minister of Magic, the man in charge of all things British magic, in the very beginning, he had to, and was destined to be, a strong man. ”

Nicol Lemay smiled suddenly, "Of course, the Minister of Magic is generally elected by secret ballot of the members of the Wizengamot, but in special times, famous wizards will be directly invited to serve as the Minister of Magic, and Albus has received such invitations many times. If you can become a wizard like Albus and show extraordinary standards in every way, then in thirty or fifty years, maybe the Wizengamot will invite you to be the Minister of Magic. ”

Luo Cheng shook his head, what are you kidding, if you want to become a wizard like Dumbledore, it will take thirty or fifty years, and the points you have now won't last that long.

"It seems that you don't want to go down this path, then it's the regular promotion path. You first have to become the head of the department of real power, and then you have to make a difference, and generally the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Department of Magical Communications, and the Department of International Magical Cooperation are the most popular candidates to become the Minister of Magic, because they have a lot of experience and connections. But you don't have that either, because the Ministry of Magic values professional experience, and it's pretty impressive that you can move from a supernumerary Muggle liaison to the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, and become the head of the centaur liaison office. If nothing else, the limit to being able to become the head of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control is already the limit, and the Director of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control has no precedent for becoming the Minister of Magic. ”

"Aren't there any exceptions?"

"Of course there are exceptions, young people. The British Ministry of Magic has a legendary minister, Leonard Spencer Muen, who worked his way up from the tea boy in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, because he was particularly good at dealing with Muggles, and it is said that he had a good relationship with Churchill, the Muggle political strongman at the time, so he became the Minister of Magic, because everyone believed that he could handle the relationship with Muggles, because there were so many Muggles at that time. ”

"You mean, let me find a way to get in touch with the Muggle leaders?"

"Oh no, of course it's not all."

Nicol Lemay shook his head, "You know, the current minister, Cornelius Fudge, only became minister last year. Because the Minister of Magic doesn't have a fixed term, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he can keep going, I remember there was a Minister surnamed Spavon, and that long-winded guy was in the position of Minister for 38 years. ”

This hundred-year-old long-lived wizard shows his familiarity with wizarding politics, and he is truly an old man. Although Nicol Lemay was born in France, his long experience in England made him know the secret history of his country's Ministry of Magic far better than the native wizards of England.
