I, Hogwarts Second Week

Chapter 507 Considerations

"Successor?" Headmaster Dumbledore muttered, then sighed calmly.

Beside him, Owen looked up at the old man.

He was a little hunched.

Perhaps it was because the bunker corridor was too low.

Less than two meters.

Because of the influence of the Outer Gods, Owen's height would probably be difficult to exceed 3.2 feet (180) in this life.

Now he only reached the headmaster's shoulders, and was only three fists away from the ceiling.

The headmaster could only hunch over.

Watching this scene, he felt a little uncomfortable.

In this world, if he dared to say that he knew Dumbledore second, no one dared to say that he knew Dumbledore first, and Grandpa Grindelwald was not as good as him.

The headmaster has been busy during this period, running around for the magic world, but at this critical moment, there are still many people dragging him down.

The British Ministry of Magic, the Federation, and the magic ministries of European countries are all like this, a group of insects.

Professor Dumbledore - from a standpoint, he is a left-leaning conservative.

He advocates equality for all in the magic world, opposes the power of dark wizards, and has a good attitude towards Muggles, which is his progressive side. But at the same time, he is also a deep-rooted conservative. He has not tried to change the privileged status of "pure-blood aristocrats" in a practical sense, and has never cracked down on the soil where dark forces grow (such as Knockturn Alley, the Ministry of Magic, and certain interest groups in Hogwarts).

This is related to his life experience.

After experiencing the first global wizard war launched by Grindelwald. The old headmaster became afraid of power. He was afraid that he would become like Grindelwald and endanger the world.

Perhaps this is because he deeply agrees with some of Grindelwald's views and knows that they are correct.

The magic world is sick, and the disease is not light, and strong medicine is needed to treat it. Dumbledore is more sober than anyone else.

Because he is sober, he suffers.

He is afraid of the chaos and death brought about by the change, and does not want to see the relatively peaceful magic world fall into turmoil. The complex spiritual world makes him choose to stagnate and maintain the world ruled by the "Statute of Secrecy".

And now-the "Statute of Secrecy" can no longer be maintained in any way.

The young wizards are all reformists.

Miss Granger is needless to say.

Even Harry's position is not to maintain such a world. He is on the opposite side of the pure-blood privileged class in the past.

Others - the young wizards of Hogwarts, have experienced the "education" of the past few years. The incompetence and drag of the Ministry of Magic have risen in front of them more than once. Starting from 1992, starting with Fudge, the two Ministers of Magic almost completely shattered the filter of the young wizards on the magic leader.

In the past, if a Slytherin student talked about the power of his family, for example, his uncle, father and others had a very good relationship with the Minister of Magic, other young wizards who heard this would appear to be indifferent on the surface, but they might still be a little jealous in their hearts.

But now, if anyone says this, in their ears, it is almost equivalent to talking about politics with baboons in the trees and talking about friends with goblins in the fields, which is a very ridiculous thing.

My uncle is familiar with the Minister of Magic, which is equivalent to my uncle is an idiot. In Hogwarts, this is a curse.

Outside the office, Owen suddenly remembered the famous saying.

The world trend is mighty and powerful. If you follow it, you will prosper. If you go against it, you will perish.

What the principal suffered was that there was no ship to carry him in the new era.

Thinking, the door of the office opened again.

Owen and Dumbledore returned to the table again.

He knew that in more than a minute, the sun would rise from the earth and take away all the dirt.

Mr. Prime Minister, his face was heavy and full of sorrow.

After seeing two wizards, one big and one small, come in, he restrained himself a little.

"The battle is not over yet. Outside, there are still dark wizards fighting with the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. Sir, you should cheer up." Owen said calmly, his eyes fell on the face of the Prime Minister. He had naturally watched the two classic British dramas "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". A few years ago, he knew that the British Prime Minister of this world was Mr. Harker. He had seen the other party's photo in the newspaper.

But face to face, this was the first time.

"Well, you are right." Mr. Harker sighed. He was under great psychological pressure at the moment, so he was so emotional. This was really not like a leader of a country.

"Ahem--" He coughed lightly, then stood up, "I asked you to come here mainly." Mr. Harker looked at Dumbledore, "I want to discuss the post-war world structure."

"The hidden policies implemented by wizards, I think it will be difficult to maintain after this war."

"Indeed." Dumbledore did not deny it, but admitted it generously. "We are also worried about this."

"The concept upheld by the British government is the principle of limited boundaries. That is, we do not participate in or interfere with the current structure of the British magical world, but you need to set up a liaison office in the government, similar to an embassy, ​​and the two sides will carry out some technical, cultural and economic exchanges."

"Limited boundaries?" The old principal was a little surprised, and a hint of desire flashed behind his half-moon glasses, because this coincided with his idea.

Wizards have their own lives, and Muggles have their own lives. It is best for both sides to be two parallel lines that do not interfere with each other. Of course - in reality, limited intersections are allowed, but they should not merge into one line.

"Heh"

Owen smacked his lips, with a frivolous expression on his face.

Is it really worthy of being called the British Empire?

For hundreds of years, this idea of ​​manipulating the balance of the continent has been enduring.

The British seem to never want to use force to directly conquer Europe like France or Germany, and then establish a huge empire spanning the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.

The idea they have always adhered to is to oppose the emergence of the largest, most aggressive and most domineering country on the continent. Join the less powerful side, unite with them, defeat and defeat the military hegemon on the continent, no matter who he is, no matter which country he rules.

That is the so-called concept of continental balance.

But - times have changed! My Lord.

Magic is like steam that drives steam engines, fuel that drives internal combustion engines, and electricity that drives electricity.

For Muggle scientists, magic is a new energy source.

If they still slowly stick to the previous ideas, they will never have a chance to turn over after being surpassed by others.

But - this has nothing to do with him.

Even if the British Isles are going to sink into the Atlantic tomorrow - that is something that old Dumbledore should worry about.

At that time, he will carry the Scottish Highlands on his shoulders, drag Hogwarts in one hand, cross the English Channel, and reopen the school in Eurasia.

And he and other young wizards will have to continue to go to school.

So whether Britain can turn over has nothing to do with him.

"Okay-" Dumbledore said after a moment of silence.

"Well, the specific matters need to be discussed at the United Nations Security Council. The meeting may be held in November, and I will invite you to attend as the president of the International Confederation of Wizards." Mr. Harker's face showed a relaxed expression.

"Okay, then I will be ready to attend this meeting." Dumbledore finally made a decision, "At the same time, I will notify other members of the International Confederation of Wizards to let them prepare as well."

"Thank you very much, Principal Dumbledore." Mr. Harker breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, "I believe that this meeting will be a complete success."

"Then I should leave, and the chaos outside must stop." Dumbledore stood up, with a more dangerous light in his eyes.

It seems that the dark wizard's unbridled attack made the old wizard angry.

After saying this, he left the office directly.

Owen did not follow.

Or, Dumbledore deliberately left him here.

The old man has seen the future clearly, and some of his ideas are indeed no longer suitable for the current world. As for what the future will be like, let the young people do it.

"Why, kid? Do you have any questions? Your principal has left." Mr. Harker simply thought that the girl in front of him was absent-minded and did not notice that his conversation with Dumbledore had ended.

"No, Prime Minister. I just have a question." Owen's face bloomed with a smile.

"Well? What's your question?" Mr. Harker did not show any majesty, but smiled kindly. In his opinion, Owen was just a beautiful little girl who looked like a porcelain doll. Maybe she was very smart and was the proud student of the principal of Hogwarts. But in the end, she was just a child.

However, children also have their own value. Cultivating a new generation of pro-British government wizards is the policy that the government will implement, so Mr. Harker showed great patience.

Owen certainly understood why the Prime Minister was so enthusiastic all of a sudden.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why play Liao Zhai?

"That-" He raised his left hand and put it against his cheek, "I'm just curious, who is the one chosen by the British government-who is the shit-stirring stick?"

"???" Mr. Harker was stunned, not understanding what Owen meant, "What is the shit-stirring stick?"

"Oh-this is just a very appropriate metaphor." Owen laughed and said, "Continental balance-you need an agent. If you don't add sand to the other country, how can you control it? How can you balance the continent?"

"So I want to ask, which lucky wizard did you or the government behind you choose as an agent?"

As soon as this was said, the office instantly became quiet.

A trace of surprise flashed across Mr. Harker's face, then his brows frowned slightly, and his expression immediately became serious. He looked at Owen deeply, and was shocked that the girl in front of him, who looked like a teenager, could see their plan.

That's right, the [Third Kind Contact Plan] was the British government's plan to select wizard agents.

It was formulated much earlier than [Operation October Storm].

As early as the previous prime minister, the [Third Kind Contact Plan] had been launched.

The power of the state machine far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

After getting some simple intelligence, they can easily infer something.

For example: the identity of the little wizards in Hogwarts.

This is not difficult to identify. After all, little wizards born in Muggles will almost attract the attention of others at the age when their magic power explodes. Take Harry Potter as an example. MI5 (Military Intelligence Five) only needs to investigate his previous school to find out Harry Potter's magical deeds. For example, in order to escape pursuit, he stepped on the garbage dump and flew to the top of the school in a hurry. He once turned the teacher's wig blue and was warned by the school.

In addition, young wizards will leave home and go to Hogwarts at the age of eleven. If a census is conducted on children of school age in the UK, young wizards like Justin, Hermione, Harry, Colin, and Dennis can be easily found.

After that, there will be a more detailed investigation of strength, influence, attitude towards the government, etc.

After several rounds of screening, a group of people will be finally determined.

This is the full picture of the [Third Kind Contact Plan].

The Prime Minister's office is still silent.

Mr. Bernard did not say any witty words to liven up the atmosphere this time, but was quietly responsible for recording the content of the meeting.

As the Prime Minister's Chief Private Secretary, it is his job to record all the Prime Minister's talks. The minutes of the meeting will become the blueprint for the government to formulate policies in the future.

Time passed slowly, and the three people in the office never spoke.

After a while, the Prime Minister came out of his thoughts and said, "You are smarter than I thought, girl. Maybe you have the qualifications to be chosen?"

"Me?" Owen shrugged, still smiling. He did not correct the Prime Minister's misunderstanding of his gender. It was really troublesome to explain to every stranger. He said directly: "No-no, I am not very valuable.

The most important thing is that the British government should not be able to find information about me. An unknown little wizard is naturally not as reliable as a local wizard who knows everything."

If it was before he was influenced by the Outer God, the British government might be able to find the orphanage where he lived when he was a child. But it stopped at the Spent Orphanage in France.

Now-after his appearance has changed drastically, unless he admits the past in person, who will connect his past self with his present self?

Owen casually continued, "Let me think about it - among the young wizards, we can select them based on influence, bloodline, and nationality.

Well - the goal is clear - it's Miss Granger.

Who else has this qualification besides her?"

"Actually - in a way, our ideas are actually the same. Wizards and Muggles are integrated, and you want to make the Ministry of Magic subject to the British government, and the Minister of Magic a minister in your cabinet. I agree with this - wizards have very poor organizational and mobilization capabilities, and the Minister of Magic is not capable of managing a huge country."

"Oh?" Mr. Harker was surprised. The idea of ​​the girl in front of him was very good! If all wizards had this idea, he could save a lot of trouble.

"But -" Owen paused, and continued: "The Minister of Magic is incapable, but it doesn't mean that others are not capable. If Miss Granger is the Minister of Magic and also the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom -"
