The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

"I understand...Then...what reason should I have to contact Dumbledore?"

Lucius did not resist. He was sensitively aware of Neo's contempt for himself. Just like more than ten years ago, he looked down upon his status as a pure-blood noble, the gold galleons accumulated from his huge industry, and his familiar wizards. experience in the power game.

Facing the mysterious man's methods, every Death Eater was as nervous as a first-year student at Hogwarts waiting to be sorted. However, what they faced was no longer the Sorting Hat, but... All kinds of jokes their fathers and brothers used to threaten them.

"I assume you don't want your identity exposed."

He believed that he was right about this. In the glorious days, the mysterious people they followed always had various plans, which were evil, powerful, and difficult.From killing Squibs and Muggles to create a deterrent, to infiltrating the Ministry of Magic to take control of power, they have all been done, not aboveboard, but very effective.

Neo was even more satisfied with Lucius. He was a thoughtful person and it was appropriate to entrust him with this matter.

"Use your identity as a noble pureblood as a guarantee. We will make an appointment at 7 o'clock tonight. The location is that your family's manor is very quiet."

After saying this, Neo waved his hand and asked Lucius to do it, while he turned and walked towards the elevator.

He came here today and has arranged everything. At this moment, he still has some leisure interests left and plans to take a good stroll at the Ministry of Magic.

The Visitors' Hall is on the eighth underground floor, and between the Inquisition Hall, which is inaccessible by elevator, there is a ninth underground floor: the floor where the Department of Mysteries is located.

In the wizarding world and even the Ministry of Magic, almost no one knows what this department does. Once their employees join, they are called "Silent People", that is, the silent ones who keep secrets.

"I always feel a bit Cthulhu-like..."

Neo found some useful information from Tom's memory. Yes, Voldemort, who was full of power, was not interested in the mysteries in the Department of Mysteries. He just wanted to take out the records about himself from the prophecy hall on the ninth floor. Death's divination crystal ball.

It's not his fault. Neo himself is not afraid of death, but knowing the way of his death in advance still makes him excited.

In addition to the Prophecy Hall, this department also has a time room, a planet room, a brain room, a death room, and a permanently locked room, which respectively correspond to [time], [universe], [love], and [soul] in the magic field. and [Unknown].

"It should be the most forward-looking department in the bloated and incompetent Ministry of Magic."

Neo's leisure interest is the Time Hall.

"Time passes forever and cannot be changed. It is a powerful force that spans space."

He coveted the power behind time, but lamented that today's wizards have lost the research on time.So, when the elevator on the ninth floor opened, he took off the ring in his hand, threw it lightly on the ground in the corridor, and then immediately took the elevator back to the eighth floor.

"Without Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak, there would be no benefit except facing more than 100 Aurors and an unknown number of [Silent Men] if you force your way in."

With the ring that carries the curse, sooner or later he will open the door to this place.

"It's just that I don't have any protective gear, so I have to keep a low profile for the time being."

Neo returned to the visitor's hall on the eighth floor and saw Quirrell waiting between the statue fountain and the stone tablet engraved with 'Magic is Power'.

"The floo network is connected, Master Neo. We can sit by the fireplace and go back directly."

"Hurry up then, I have an appointment tonight."

...........

The appointment with Dumbledore had been placed on Neo's agenda as early as when the Hogwarts admission notice arrived.His family knows his own affairs, so he can ignore the damn notice this time, but as long as he does not get back the time that was taken away from him, then in the next twenty years, every June, he will not grow up. He may receive that acceptance letter in the mail.

"This means that as long as I don't want Hogwarts to discover my location, I have to stay away from the UK for at least two months every year."

And not too much. If he received another letter the next year, Dumbledore would have to wonder what was going on.

Normal people don't stay 11 years old forever.

This is very uncomfortable. Neo can live a comfortable life now only because of the foundation left by Tom. If he goes far away, Neo will be just a wizard who is stronger than ordinary people. He will be isolated from the magical world. Loneliness is If you can't do academic research well, only communication can give Neo the knowledge he wants.

He talks about Hogwarts being worthless, but Neo is also willing to compromise. As long as he can make some small "adjustments" to Hogwarts according to his own ideas, he is still happy to go there - to be a Professor's.

Yes, Neo wanted to talk about this with Dumbledore tonight. Otherwise, he couldn't really sit in class with a group of children and pretend to be classmates.

As for the idea of ​​killing Dumbledore, bulldozing Hogwarts, and dominating the British wizarding world, Neo had never even thought about it.

"A broken magical civilization that has lost its wise men, education system, freedom and imagination cannot support my pursuit of the essence of magic. What's more, even if I want to quickly seize power, simple violent methods are too outdated. Greenwald's path It is worth learning from Tom, and I am destined to be smarter than Greenwald in order to avoid their failure."

Thinking of a generation of Dark Lords: charismatic eloquence, bewildering gift of prophecy, and the powerful power of the Elder Wand.

But time finally taught him to be a mortal again.Thinking of this, Neo was very heartbroken. He believed that if Grindelwald had succeeded back then, it would have at least improved the overall level of the magic world by a century.

In the end, only ruins were left, and the victors failed to do a good job in post-war reconstruction. Instead, they personally cultivated a second-generation Dark Lord.

This made the already poor family in the wizarding world even worse.

Stupid Tom, Neo lamented his misfortune and was even more angry at him. If it were me, I... would definitely become a prestigious white wizard and be crowned with the title of 'Little Dumbledore' first. , and then, beat this old man to death.

Gou is helpless sometimes, but it is useful. If there is not a guy called Blackbeard, Gou has been doing it for only 40 years, wouldn't he have achieved his goal?

In the notebook that he never left, Neo deduced the possibility of completing Tom's legacy.

"After adding in the advantages of Dumbledore's death, the Death Eaters' return from Azkaban, and the fact that the Ministry of Magic is still under the control of the stupid Fudge, the possibility of truly stepping on the British wizarding world... is only Thirty percent, and we have to prevent those immature pure-blood subordinates from secretly picking peaches."

Looks ridiculous, so how to improve it?

Let terrorism go to hell, first use lies to distort the free will of the people at the bottom, and then use tangible benefits to bind the upper-level bureaucrats and nobles of the Ministry of Magic, and gradually create a fair promotion channel from low to high between the two.

Balance the relationship between the mainstream wizarding world and humanoids, magical creatures, hybrids and Muggle wizards, establish a sound welfare security system, concentrate resources on false research directions such as squibs, high-end magic, etc., and give a positive direction to the development of the wizarding world. guidance.

Such an upright approach, yes, is what the Minister of Magic should do.
