Old Barty arrives at Silverhand, he has some questions to ask Johnny Silverhand, and his face is not very good.

Amelia's Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the department of real power, essentially representing the entire Ministry of Magic's armed forces.

Seven out of ten people who have historically been able to hold the position of Minister of Magic have come from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

It can be said that it is the position above 10,000 people under one person in the Ministry of Magic.

Although there were changes in the Triwizard Tournament, it was generally good, and Barty Sr.'s reputation in the wizarding world was improved.

Because of his decisiveness and proper handling of subsequent events, he is still hot.

He could see that to break the stalemate with Amelia, he needed an external force.

It's either Dumbledore or Johnny's Silver Hand.

The two of them are now considered the first or second wizards in the wizarding world, and Dumbledore doesn't want to be involved in this matter, so Old Barty has a greater advantage.

"Johnny Silverhand."

Old Barty came in and saw the silver mask that gracefully stroked the owl's head behind the desk.

"Old Barty, my friend," John said hoarsely, "you've done a fair job in the Triwizard Tournament, and everybody is complimenting you, tell me, what do you want?" ”

The black long-eared owl squinted his eyes comfortably, and his hands seemed to have magical power, which made old Barty look at it, and his anxious mood eased a lot.

"Johnny Silverhand, you know." Old Barty slowed down his tone and said after deliberation, "I want your help." ”

That's what John was waiting for, and he put the book on the table.

Barty Sr. didn't know what it was, but he knew he would help him run for office.

He was about to take it, but he saw John's hand pause, and his left hand with the ring pressed against the book.

In a deep voice, he said, "Old Barty, as a friend, I hope you can think about the road ahead. ”

"Huh?" Old Barty frowned, "Your Excellency, what are you talking about?" ”

The eyes under the silver mask are deep, as if they want to suck the soul into them.

A hoarse voice rang out, spitting out a name.

"Albus Dumbledore."

Hearing the name, Barty Sr.'s eyes widened, as if to confirm whether he had misheard.

"Think about it, old Barty, remember Cornelius Fudge?"

John said to himself, "A mediocre man, relying on a compliment from Dumbledore, became the Minister of Magic, he is above the Ministry of Magic, and every decision you make needs to be reviewed by him." ”

Barty Sr. muttered, "Dumbledore may be worried about the wizarding world. ”

"No, no, no," John got up and walked over to Old Barty and put the book in his palm, "Dumbledore wouldn't have chosen Fudge if he cared about the wizarding world, he cared about himself, he didn't like being the Minister of Magic, but he was willing to let the Minister of Magic listen to him." ”

The voice was like a devil's whisper, and old Barty couldn't help but think of something.

"Fudge's weak personality, remember Lucius, his complaint against Dumbledore, what is the end?"

Old Barty grabbed the book's hand and pressed harder.

Lucius complained that Dumbledore had been kicked out of the student board.

Although he returned to his position with the help of Johnny's silver hand, there was only an empty shell left.

The power that should have belonged to the Malfoys is gone. m.

"Dumbledore likes to restrain others with self-righteous justice." John patted Old Barty on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Think about Dumbledore's bad behavior over the years, every time he brings danger into the school, maybe he is not suitable for this headmaster's position." ”

Old Barty subconsciously said, "yes, he's terrible. ”

After reacting, Old Barty was a little surprised.

How could I have such a thought?

He was also a little stunned when he thought that day he wanted Dumbledore to elect a new minister.

Yes, Dumbledore was so high that he even asked him for the position of Minister of Magic.

Even Amelia didn't see anything wrong with this, a person who wasn't an official of the Ministry of Magic was able to decide the position of the Minister of Magic at will.

If one day, if you sit in the position of Minister of Magic, will you be pulled down because of Dumbledore's words?

Old Barty had an ugly face, and apparently, he also realized that Dumbledore's prestige was too great now.

"You're right," said Barty Sr., looking at John, in embarrassment, "but sir, I can't afford to make Dumbledore old. ”

The corners of his mouth under the silver mask went up, and John looked meaningfully at the book, "You're qualified now." ”

Old Barty opened the book in disbelief, he thought it would be a baby who would be able to distance himself from Amelia.

But when he saw what was inside, he was shocked.

Where is this distance, it is simply directly escorted.

Death Eaters are imprisoned in books like photographs, and these people are all chips.

"Voldemort's news, don't let it out yet." John said to Barty Sr., "When you become a minister, put the Ministry of Magic in order." ”

As for Voldemort's news, Barty Sr. wrote to Johnny Silverhand as soon as he came out of school, so he didn't doubt it.

"Voldemort is back, Dumbledore saw it with his own eyes."

Barty Sr. was different from Fudge, and even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he believed the news, because Dumbledore wouldn't joke with it.

He said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, with all due respect, even if you have a grudge against Dumbledore, this is not a good time. ”

He could see that Johnny Silverhand seemed to be intent on attacking Dumbledore, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, he couldn't joke with the wizarding world.

John shook his head and sneered, "Old Barty, do you think this is a good thing for you?"

Think about it, if you do what Dumbledore wants and announce the return of Voldemort, then Dumbledore's reputation will reach. ”

John continued, "People will think of Dumbledore who fought against the two Dark Lords, and when the time comes, if you don't listen to him and become a puppet, the people won't want to. ”

Old Barty's face sank, he didn't want to be a puppet.

John's next sentence was to cut off his worries about facing Voldemort.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore is a self-proclaimed righteous man, even if there is no one to help, he will gather a group of forces to fight Voldemort to the end, we just need to grasp the middle degree."

Aren't you righteous?

Okay, you go deal with Voldemort.

A hint of anger flashed in John's eyes.

Old Barty understood that this was what Dumbledore meant by fighting Voldemort, and the Ministry of Magic could use this time to put the weakened Ministry of Magic in order.

His eyes lit up, and this was undoubtedly the best way to make Dumbledore stronger.

When the two kings compete, the status of the Ministry of Magic will become higher.

Coupled with the assistance of Johnny's silver hand, this person who is known as the second king under Dumbledore, then even if he messes up, there are people who have a cover.

Old Barty agreed.

On this holiday season, if nothing else, he could become the Minister of Magic.

John enlisted Rita to do a good job of reporting for him, and at the same time began to write a report for Dumbledore's 'good'.

There is no need to polish it up, just let everyone know that Dumbledore found a Death Eater as a professor in his first year, a werewolf in his third year, and a professor in his fourth year to show the Unforgivable Curse.

He also found the top Lockhart to cooperate with the publicity.

On the bright side, ask for money to give money, and ask people to give people.

Secretly, the Death Eaters were eliminated by various means, officials of all ranks also appeared at the banquet, and even the Aurors' office was secretly helping.

Amelia is excellent, but she misses the opportunity.

Barty Sr.'s fame continued to rise.

A week later.

John began the next step of preparation.

About the location of the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Hogwarts is important, it's the most important place to educate wizards across the country, and it's the alma mater of all those in power.

Monopoly education has given it an irreplaceable position, and even the Minister of Magic does not dare to go too far.

The Headmaster's position was important, not just to replace Dumbledore.

He remembered a person who was the most suitable, but unfortunately, is no longer suitable.

There is also the handling of Horcruxes, and he has an idea to make the connection between Horcruxes into a Horcrux tracker.

Use trackers to find out where other Horcruxes are.

It had been a while since the golden locket had been brought back, and John hadn't seen much of it.

He was about to take it out to take a look at it when an unexpected person came to the door.

Severus Snape.

I don't know what Snape was feeling, and he walked into the Silver Hand Manor.

John was watching him from the windowsill with interest.

The candidate for headmaster that flashed in my mind just now was Snape.

But it's a pity that this person is not destined to stand with him, and he has already given the answer when he was in the third grade.

If only he knew he was going to bring down Dumbledore, what a fun thing it would be.

John wasn't sure if Dumbledore had told Snape about his identity, as Snape was Dumbledore's most trusted man.

Anyway, John decided to meet him.

His own dean once wanted to recruit himself, but he was refused.

Now Snape came looking for him.

The transformation of identity is amazing, isn't it?
