Throughout August, the British wizarding world was busy.

Under the leadership of Rufus Scrimgeur, a resolute and sustained self-examination campaign was launched, starting from the top of the Ministry of Magic and continuing to the most basic clerks.

Fired a large number of redundant employees who fished in troubled waters and had nothing to do.

There was also a group of guys who ate and took cards, and bribes were sent to Azkaban to entertain themselves in accordance with the law.

For this reason, many families with ancient heritages have complained, and they used to be the biggest financiers behind the Ministry of Magic.

In the past, in order to appease them, the Ministry of Magic paid a lot of positions, allowing them to arrange for family members to work on errands in the Ministry of Magic.

Scrimgeour's first stab was on them.

Naturally, these families refused, and in the past, they had placed their members in the Ministry of Magic, not just to find jobs for those who had nothing to do.

What's more, they're going to plant their own nails and eyeliner in the Ministry of Magic.

There is nothing more reassuring to them than the connection between blood and kinship.

Under the family concept of glory and loss, the Ministry of Magic can't hide from them no matter what it does.

From the most neglected Muggle Mediation Council to the most important Auror Command, it can be said that the entire Ministry of Magic has been quickly seeped into a sieve by these big families who actually control the wizarding world.

Now that Scrimgeour is in power, he is going to cut them down at the first opportunity, how can these families agree.

Their eyeliner had been expelled or sentenced, and how could they react if there was an action by the Ministry of Magic against their extended family.

Scrimgeour hadn't intended to do anything to them, after all, many of these families were big businesses, and their industries affected all aspects of the wizarding world.

Until society has completely settled down, it is not advisable to settle accounts with them.

However, Scrimgeour's concession has given the families an inch, and they regard this forbearance as a bully.

Old fellows, wearing top hats and holding golden sceptres, hovered outside the door of his office all day and all night.

There are even people who use this year's event funds to talk about things.

Scrimgeour didn't say much, but when they came to the door again to ask for an explanation, they left a thick pile of materials in front of each family representative.

After each time he got the materials, he instantly lost that arrogant posture.

Hunched over and smiling, he praised the Ministry of Magic for doing good governance.

There was no way, what Rufus Scrimgeour photographed them in front of them was evidence of the collusion between the major families and Voldemort.

These families, which have been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, may not necessarily do other things, and they have always stood in good line.

Ever since Voldemort first emerged in the wizarding world decades ago, they have been consciously or unconsciously involved with the future Dark Lord.

If it weren't for the acquiescence and even funding of these families, how could Voldemort rise so quickly.

Fifteen years ago, the day Voldemort was defeated, they became the mainstay of the wizarding world.

But this year, after Voldemort's resurrection.

They began their usual head-shaking strategy again, betting on both sides, and on this side only the Ministry of Magic was the first to take the lead.

Over there, they secretly contacted the Death Eaters, ready to serve the Dark Lord.

What they did was secretive enough, but how helpless, Gretel saw these things clearly in his memory.

Scrimgeour threw out any pile of evidence, and any pile of them could make that family the target of the wizarding world.

Three days later, no one came to the Minister's office to disturb Scrimgeour's new Minister of Magic.

However, for a minister of magic who controls an entire country's magical world, how can it be idle.

Moen is just managing a small Moldova, and with the help of comrades at dawn to handle government affairs, he has recently had some more personal time.

Rufus Scrimgeour is still in charge of a huge England, and he is already busy with all kinds of government affairs, and he is anxious about internal and external problems.

However, rice is not eaten in one bite, and things cannot be achieved overnight.

After the dismissal of a large number of public officials, the daily operations of the Ministry of Magic seem to be somewhat stretched.

So, at the end of August, the Ministry of Magic began the most ambitious recruitment operation in hundreds of years, adding a wave of fresh blood.

Naturally, the comrades of the dawn were transformed into a group of dedicated civil servants of the British Ministry of Magic.

Seni Dilgo, who also stepped down as a member of the Moldovan Ministry of Magic, became Scrimgeour's office assistant.

One east and one west, the two ministries of magic, echo each other from afar, weaving a large net for the future of dawn.

However, compared to being more radical, explore the Moldovan Ministry of Magic integrated into the Muggle world.

The British Ministry of Magic doesn't have much to do about New Age building.

Their main task is to enlighten the people.

Let the wizards realize that they are no longer the masters of the world.

The center of the world has long since shifted from the wizarding world controlled by wizards to the Muggle world, which relies on economy and technology to make great strides.

Not many people are clearly aware of this in Europe and the Americas, far across the ocean, where Glitter has set foot in Europe.

At least, most of the wizards that Glitter came into contact with were still immersed in the fairy tale world above the wizards.

There aren't many wizards who realize that the wizarding world has fallen behind.

The Americas are beyond the reach of the current Gretel.

And the strength of the Muggle government in the Americas is not something he can measure now.

In Europe, the dawn of an acre and a third of land cannot guarantee a crosswalk.

As a base camp for future reforms, Gretel must ensure that all people are united, at least the majority of the people can be on the same side as Dawn.

This can ensure the vitality of Dawn's development, and it will not lose the strength to turn over and fight again after a setback.

From the perspective of the whole of Europe, the British wizarding world with Dumbledore is undoubtedly the political and economic center at the top.

Saini joined the British wizarding world in order to cooperate with Rufus Scrimgeour and completely control the British wizarding world into the hands of the Dawn.

And then the whole of Europe will be built into a base camp for the Dawn Rising.

As for Dumbledore, there was no need for them to worry, there was no one in their group of decision-making core members who didn't know about the parchment.

For the sake of a great cause, Glitter can choose to cooperate with others, but it is impossible for him to give up the interests of Dawn.

The parchment clearly states that Dawn has the right to free development, as long as no war is waged and no persecution of innocent people is carried out.

Dumbledore and the forces under his control could not strike a blow at the dawn.

In other words, the stage of development of the dawn, as long as it adheres to a peaceful and moderate line of thought, in England, it is basically unimpeded.

However, even so, Sugon still chose a stable and low-key development.

Every member is subject to a comprehensive review to ensure the integrity and discipline of the organization.

……

After eliminating the social turmoil caused by Voldemort's resurrection, Glitter had to fulfill another pact he had made with Dumbledore.

It just so happens that he also wants to put an end to the possible personality cult problem in the future development of Shuguang.

The dawn is not the dawn of him alone, it is the dawn of all the dawn people, and it is the dawn of all wizards.

The cult of personality may be a good thing for him personally, but when it comes to the whole dawn, it's not so wonderful.

Glitter has always believed in the saying that when manpower is poor, it is beyond the reach of power.

Every decision he makes may affect tens of thousands of others in the future.

He knew that he was not a genius, whether it was in research, politics or economics, so he needed to be corrected.

An excessively heavy cult of personality will suppress other people's thoughts.

It may be more beneficial for the future to step out now and let the dawn grow wildly within the framework.

What he, the helmsman, needs to do is to control the direction and ensure that the big ship of Dawn will not capsize in a certain wave.

——

September 1st.

The Hogwarts Express stopped at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King's Cross Station on time.

It was also the first year that Harry had his family to see him off when school started.

If, the former godfather is also considered a relative.

Rushing past the hidden platform of nine and three-quarters, Sirius pushed the luggage cart and silently sent Harry to the train.

"Harry, after sending you off today, I'll go to Siberia, I heard that wizards are recruited over there to explore the ruins.

The house at 12 Grimmauld Place is also left to you, you will graduate later, it will be more convenient to live here, and the Muggle community planning is still good.

By the way, don't forget to give me a few calls if you have the chance......"

Sirius was a bit babbling, and he hadn't said so much since the death of his good friend James Potter.

Harry was a little silent, he didn't know what to say, he raised his head slightly, his turquoise pupils shining through the lenses, looking at the godfather with a vicissitudes of life, appointed by his father.

"Emm, Mr. Black," Sirius's eyes darkened as Harry's voice came out.

Harry's heart softened, in the past year, he really saw Sirius as his father, and he felt care in Sirius that he hadn't felt in the past ten years.

But somehow, Gretel left in Harry's mind a memory of Snape in another timeline that was willing to give his life for him.

The restrained but fiery love is far warmer than the warmth of intermittent time with Sirius on this timeline.

In fact, when it was changed to the original world line, Sirius and Snape, how can the contributions of the two be compared together.

They all gave their lives for Harry, and life is not precious.

But it can't be helped, who made Sirius not Gretel's teacher, what Glitter has to make up for is his teacher's regret.

Sirius was just an indifferent passerby.

Moreover, Glitter brought Lily Evans' soul back to the world, and Lily Evans had a big opinion about Sirius.

The children entrusted by the couple have suffered from white eyes for more than ten years, and they have not had a day of peace.

Even escaping from prison, the first purpose is to get revenge.

If it was James Potter who had returned, Harry wouldn't have had to be so entangled.

Even if Gretel had left him with the memory of Professor Snape, his father would not have stripped him of his godfather status as a good brother.

"Mr. Black, it is your house, and I am not qualified to inherit it.

If we could, we would try not to contact each other, you know my mother, and she wants me to keep my distance from you.

And, my current godfather is Snape, Severus Snape. ”

Sirius was speechless for a moment, and to be honest, he would never have believed it if it hadn't been for Dumbledore's confirmation that the soul was really Lily.

After all, Lily was so gentle at the beginning, and she, like Potter, was already her own relative.

Remembering what Lily Evans had said on the day he left 12 Grimmauld Place with Harry, Sirius gave up struggling.

Indeed, he did not fulfill his duties as a godfather.

Now that Harry had his mother again, he didn't need to wander the sad land as a sinner.

But from time to time, he would always ask himself with questions: "If I hadn't strongly recommended Wormtail as a secret keeper, would everything have been different?" ”

——

Sirius was sad and silent, and Harry waved his wand and boarded the train with a pile of floating luggage.

Ron and Hermione, the fifth-year prefects of their Gryffindor, were in charge of the reception of the new students, and Harry had to help them both find their places.

On the day he received the Hogwarts opening letter, Ron couldn't wait to tell him the news.

On that day, Mrs. Molly also made a big meal for Ron, and Ron finally got rid of the bottom of the family.

Soon after the train started, Ron found the box where Harry was and rushed in.

Hermione followed behind him, frowning, "Ron, as a prefect, you have to set an example for the new students, can't you calm down?" ”

Ron gave her a blank look and pressed it straight in front of Harry's face, "Harry, look me in the eye and tell me if it's true that you told me during the holidays that your godfather became Snape!"

This question has been in my heart for more than half a month, if it weren't for my parents saying that you have something else to do recently, forbidding me to come to the door to disturb, I would have come to the door for verification. ”

After Ron finished speaking, he stared at Harry without blinking, he really couldn't believe that the corners of his mouth were always downward, and he would only squeeze out of his teeth to tease others, and he would become Harry's godfather.

Let's not talk about him, just Harry, he clearly remembered that Harry said that Snape was the person he hated the most.

These two can't fight together, how are the two who are more like enemies than teachers and students.

Hermione didn't speak, but her equally wide eyes and ears turned sideways showed her curiosity to the fullest.

Harry swallowed and nodded, "Yes, my godfather is now Professor Snape. ”

For a moment, Ron even forgot to breathe, and after a long time, silently turned his head to Hermione.

"Hermione, can you slap me in the face and tell me I'm actually dreaming."

Hermione, who was also in shock, shook her head when she heard Ron's words, and sat down.

"Harry, tell me what happened this holiday."

Ron sat down next to Harry, staring blankly inquisitively.

"It's all about Gretel."

Hearing this name, the expressions of the two people instantly changed.

Ron was torn with a hint of joy, and he was initially shocked when Gretel quit Hogwarts last school year.

Later, many people called Glitter the biggest traitor Hogwarts has ever been.

Someone even touched the Hogwarts Cabinet of Honor in the middle of the night and put a traitor logo next to Gretel's Personal Contribution Award.

Ron didn't care, he didn't care if Grett was a traitor or if he was going to overthrow the wizarding world.

All he cared about, as if, he didn't have to worry about Gretel stealing Harry's best friend with him.

He was overjoyed, and to this day, he heard the nightmare name again.

For a moment, Ron's throat became a little dry, and he hesitated to squeeze out a sentence, "Harry, do you mean Mike Gretel?" ”

Harry nodded decisively, "Yes, I met him during the holidays, and he helped me get my mother back. ”

Hermione's eyes suddenly became messy, "Harry, I remember, your mother was ...... on the day you were born"

"Yes, when Glitter helped me remove Voldemort's soul, he found my mother's soul in me......"

……

Harry spoke for a while before he went through the events of the holiday from beginning to end.

Ron leaned back in his seat with blank eyes, as if he had lost his strength.

He muttered silently, "It's over, I can't be Harry's best friend anymore." ”

Hermione, on the other side, frowned, clutched a note, her nails rhythmic against the leather shell.

At the center of the note is a leaflet of the Dawn that Penelope has left behind.

She wanted to meet Gretel in person and ask him why he hadn't developed himself into a part of the dawn, and if she was not worthy of Hermione Granger?

On that day, the professors demanded that everyone hand in the leaflet of Dawn as if they had encountered a flood of beasts.

She handed it over, but not completely.

By the flickering light of the fire, she swept the phrase at a glance, allowing everyone to walk freely in the sun, regardless of wizards and Muggles.

She was immediately impressed, so when Professor McGonagall asked her if there was any leaflet she hadn't handed in, she lied, falsely claiming to have handed it all in.

As she thought, a well-behaved student like her, the professor would not suspect it at all.

After that, she secretly studied all the books that Gretel had ever studied.

She had this memory, and she remembered all the books that Gretel had read in the library in front of her.

Many of them had to do with wizarding and Muggle relationships, but she used to only want to outdo Gretel, and she didn't study much of these books, which didn't do much to her grades.

The more she researched, the more she felt that Dawn's initiative was more right.

To this end, she put aside the development of the House-Elf Association for the time being.

Gretel is right, human energy is limited, and in a limited life, it is wisest to put all of your energy into the most important things.

Now, she wants to put her energy fighting for the freedom and treatment of house-elves into fighting for the freedom of wizards to walk in the sun.
