The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 40 The Power of the Estes Family

For decades, the Estes family disappeared across the continent.

It made some forget the power this family once possessed.

Now.It's time for these vultures to see what it means to be a clan that lasts for a thousand years.

"Minister Fudge is joking. The Estes family will naturally abide by the laws of various countries, including the United Kingdom of course." Melda suppressed the nausea in her heart, and said with a half-smile.

"As the heir and head of the contemporary Estes family, I am very grateful to the British Ministry of Magic for helping to find more than [-] magical items lost by the family."

"In return. All the comments you just made. I basically agree."

"But those magic items are accumulated by the Estes family after all. I don't think the Ministry of Magic will forcibly confiscate the collections of ordinary people."

"Of course. The Ministry of Magic has indeed spent a lot of manpower and material resources. For this, the Estes family will pay an extra one hundred thousand galleons. It's all overtime pay for those hardworking employees."

Melda finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Fudge with a smile on her face.He is waiting.How should Fudge answer?

"Oh, Mr. Melda, I didn't expect you to be so generous. Speaking of which, the Ministry of Magic really doesn't have such a big place to store more than [-] magical items." Fudge first looked at Melda with surprise.Then he said with a little embarrassment: "However, the Greater Glasgow Museum has just been attacked by unknown persons. The Auror Office also had to send employees to take care of it."

"Of course, the museum is the property of the Estes family, how can you bother the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to take care of it!"

"Let's do this. Let's pay another five thousand Galleons, and it should be the hard work of the Aurors."

Fudge did not expect that Melda would be so upbeat, and he said happily that he had discovered a brand new potion and was researching it.

He said that if the potion had any outstanding effects, the Ministry of Magic would like to apply for a third-class Merlin Medal for him as a commendation.

But Melda showed a little lack of interest.Looks like he's completely uninterested in the Order of Merlin.

Of course he wasn't interested.

But what Melda wasn't interested in was Fudge coming to award him the medal.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fudge left without stopping.

Via the Floo Network in the Principal's Office.

"He's a vampire!" Ron said resentfully.

"One hundred thousand Galleons, thanks to him being able to say it. And"

"And Melda, you gave him back, and you gave him an extra one hundred and five thousand." Harry continued Ron's words.

Melda's performance can be said to have taken Ron Harry by surprise, although the trio had always known that Melda's family was rich.But this time I really felt it.

20 Galleons in gold, how could it be the same as two hundred and five Galleons in his mouth.

"It's stupid." Melda said with a cold face.

What does Fuji think about this kind of blackmail in front of Dumbledore?Could it be that someone cast the Imperius Curse?

"But I don't understand. Professor, why didn't you stop him?" Hermione asked suspiciously. He couldn't believe that the so-called Ministry of Magic was like this.I can't even believe that Dumbledore, who has been standing by and observing, is indifferent?
Could the professor be corrupted too?
"Hermione, I don't think I, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, have the right to order the Ministry of Magic to do anything." Old Deng still explained in his approachable tone.

"Besides, legally speaking, the Estes family did violate the secrecy law."

Cut, Melda snorted coldly in her heart.

Are the laws of the Ministry of Magic specially used to restrain the weak?Now that the Estes family is in decline, do they want to come and take a bite?

"Also, I really want to see how Melda will deal with this matter." Dumbledore suddenly turned his head and said to Melda with a little deep meaning.

"?"

Melda was startled, he understood that this was the test of Old Deng.But why did Old Deng set up a test for him?Couldn't he see Harry's size next to him?

Speaking of which, Melda realized very early on that the Dumbledore in this world seemed to be a little different from the headmaster in the original book.

He is too rational, too calm, with a sense of absolute sanity that has lost his humanity.It's very faint, but it's there on him.Melda could feel it.

There are generally only two possibilities for a person to have such a temperament, one is that he is a fool, and the other is that the person has a strength far superior to others.

Absolute power can cause people to get lost.

And Melda believed that the old headmaster in front of him definitely belonged to the latter group.

After learning from Eden that the ancestors of his body had traveled from their world, Melda felt a little strange.

Since his ancestors had used their knowledge of magic to profoundly transform the world of Harry Potter, why didn't he find any magic that surpassed the original book at all?

Even if the time span of more than 1000 years is indeed too long, resulting in the loss of a lot of magic, it is impossible that nothing will not be handed down.

Now, after seeing Dumbledore's performance different from the original book, Melda absolutely believes that there must be some super-standard magic handed down.

It's just that ordinary wizards don't have enough levels to understand it.But as the most powerful white wizard in the world, Dumbledore definitely possesses unimaginable power.

This is why he is so fearless.

"Hmph!" After thinking about everything, Melda felt relieved.

According to the original book, the aged Dumbledore would never allow the third generation of Dark Lord to appear.

The Dumbledore of that world could no longer take any risks.

Any move that dares to cross the line.may cause him direct confrontation.

And the old Dengtou in his own world seems to be strong and scary, but on the other hand, because of his strength, maybe the old Dengtou in this world will have more patience and time to verify whether he is dangerous to this world.

"Trust me. Donnelly Fudge will definitely be the shortest serving Minister for Magic in the history of British magic."

Melda said coldly: "If he wants to treat the Estes family as an enemy, then he should first understand how much energy the Estes family has."

"He didn't even understand his own enemy, so he dared to act rashly."

"I don't even know whether he should be called brave or stupid."

A certain leader of the Knights of Merlin, a certain president of the International Federation of Wizards, several members of the Wizengamot Council, former ministers of the British Ministry of Magic, and even a mysterious wizarding group hidden in the UK.

In an instant, more than a dozen names appeared in Melda's mind.

Everyone is the maker of the rules of the wizarding world.

Provoking the Estes family?

That is against the entire wizarding world.
