234. Knocked on that familiar door

The members of the Wizengamot, including the chief wizard, are exactly fifty in total, and if the new members want to join, they must wait for one of them to retire.

Dudley's luck was good, after Dumbledore nominated him, a member of the Wizengamot was found guilty of serious corruption and was removed from his position as a member of the Wizengamot, so Dudley was lucky to be an alternate.

After a series of tedious examinations, it was finally passed along with the review of the Merlin Order of the First Degree.

Dumbledore gave a brief account of Dudley's story, then cleared his throat and made the announcement.

"Now, by me, the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, I hereby announce that Mr. Dudley Dursley has officially become a member of the Wizengamot."

This was the only power Dumbledore still had as the Chief Wizard.

Judgment or pronouncement

In the near future, perhaps this time next year, even this bit of power will be stolen by the Ministry of Magic.

The title of the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot would be completely null and void, indistinguishable from the average Wizengamot member.

No one wants an organization to shackle itself.

It just so happened that Dumbledore had completely delegated power, wasn't this a good time for God to seize power?

Just because Fudge is a fool doesn't mean he's a fool, no one would waste such a good opportunity, and if someone else could have made Wizengamot a vassalage of the Ministry of Magic a few years ago.

There can only be one voice in the wizarding world, and only one voice can be allowed.

Dumbledore's announcement was accompanied by thunderous applause from the audience, not sure if it was celebrating Dudley's joining or something else.

The special waiter brought his fuchsia robe, and Dudley gladly accepted it.

The whole process went very smoothly, and there were not many of the episodes described in the case - someone appeared to die, slapped in the face, and hit the little one and the old one.

Even though Dumbledore's time has passed because of his ignorance, the aftermath is still there, and no wizard will not give him face to face.

Unless someone from the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic comes forward.

"How does it feel to receive the Order of Merlin, 1st degree? At present, only a handful of people in the whole of Europe have this honor. ”

Dumbledore asked Dudley afterwards.

"If I cared about this kind of thing, I wouldn't mention the name of Wizard Hemmer, Professor Dumbledore."

Dudley played with the first-class Merlin Medal, and a big '1' was written in red in the center of the whole body of gold, to be honest, the material of the Merlin Medal was really average, it looked golden on the surface, but in fact it was just a layer of gold plated with brass.

The Merlin Medal was only a means, a consolation to the deceased Hemmer, and a way to spread the curse.

Werewolves are loyal allies of the Death Eaters and one of the most troublesome problems for the Ministry.

Will the Aurors who have received the Humanoid Recovery Charm slash the werewolves?

The answer is yes.

Letting the Ministry of Magic and werewolves eat dogs to consume their power is the best and best option at the moment, and it can also use this to win over some wizards who have involuntarily turned into werewolves, and with the restoration of human form, they can also live a normal life.

"What's it like to be in the Wizengamot?" Dumbledore asked again.

The Wizengamot is a combination of the Wizarding Court and the Council, with a lot of power but a high degree of freedom, except for major matters, every member of the Wizengamot is qualified to be the presiding judge, even if it is a major matter, they are also judges.

Dudley spread his hands, "It's no different, Professor." ”

Just one member is just the first step in Dudley.

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

is not arrogant or impatient, not carried away by the so-called honor, and is not much more compromising than himself who just graduated.

It was perfect.

Dumbledore knew about Dudley's little tricks, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with them, as he and the other had done it before.

As long as you don't go down the wrong path like Tom.

"Professor, how is the case between Mr. Mouse and Blake going?"

On the way out of the Great Hall, Dudley asked Dumbledore.

"Peter and Sirius are a big deal, and they involve the previous Minister of Magic, so they can't be judged lightly, and it will take many trials before they can be decided."

In fact, the so-called importance is just Fudge's words, Sirius's case is currently being taken over by the Ministry of Magic, and only by dragging on Sirius's case long enough can the name of 'Minister Fudge the Wise and Powerful' become a household name'.

Otherwise, it's just a piece of news, a daily prophet, and it's too short for it to be forgotten by the wizards in a short time.

After all, Fudge really has nothing to brag about during his tenure, and it is more in Fudge's interests to seize this point and blow it to the end.

"What? Do you want to get results early? Dumbledore asked curiously.

"No, I want him to be locked up a little longer."

By the way, Dudley reminded Fudge that Fudge should not expect Fudge's mind to come up with these bends, not only him, but also the group of Ministry of Magic officials around him.

Dudley's purpose was to keep Sirius 'shut up' for a while.

This guy is just so annoying.

It's best not to see him until the end of the semester.

Just as Dumbledore was about to say something to Dudley, he was stopped by Gestilda Marchiban and Tiberus Ogden, as well as several other wizards who looked to be some age.

"Dumbledore, why don't you come over and see a few of our old friends?"

Dumbledore had a little headache, he knew that would be the case when he came, but he couldn't completely ignore the group of friends.

He could only look at Dudley helplessly, intending to use the excuse of sending him back to Hogwarts.

As a result, before Dumbledore could speak, Dudley took the lead and spoke decisively: "Professor, I don't think I'm a kid who can't even find his way back, and you don't have to worry, I have a few friends in the Ministry of Magic. ”

This directly blocked Dumbledore's words.

Slightly helpless, he said, "Yes, Fox is very close to you."

As he left, the old wizards surrounded Dumbledore in front of him, on the left and right, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly escape.

Seeing Dumbledore leave, Dudley shook his head slightly, he didn't go to any friends in the Ministry of Magic as he said, his seniors were only new to the Ministry of Magic, and it was far from the time when the time was ripe.

He left the Ministry of Magic

In a hidden corner. Transform into a different image, then make a phone call and call for a car.

It's still the familiar suitcase, it's still the familiar street, it's still the familiar alley.

The place where he came to trade when he was under the name Gargamel.

Putting the familiar brown top hat on his head, Dudley pushed through the car door and carried his suitcase to the end of the alley.

There was a knock on the familiar door.
