Overturning Hogwarts

"Well, it turns out, little friend, you are really an agent of the Chinese Wizards Association."

Fudge took the two documents and looked at them for a while, and then his attitude became much more polite, as if he could really tell the authenticity of the documents.

Zhang Rui feels that it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. As long as the Minister of Magic says it is true, then it is true, not to mention it is true in the first place.

Zhang Rui spent a lot of money and connections to get it for him. In the end, the old Taoist priest stepped in and paid a lot of money to get it for him, because it takes a long time to do the ideological work of the old president, and he only came to Hong Kong recently. London.

"Minister Fudge, I'm young, so I speak out when I have something to say. Your dignified Minister of Magic is actually being suppressed by an old man like Dumbledore. Are you willing to stay like this for the rest of your life?"

As soon as Zhang Rui opened his mouth, Fu Ji was startled. He quickly looked left and right, but luckily no one else was there.

"No, don't talk nonsense. I respect Dumbledore as an elder..."

"In that case, I'd better go talk to Dumbledore. You can't make the decision anyway. You have to do whatever Dumbledore says." Zhang Rui picked up the document and left.

"Wait!" Fudge quickly stopped him, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Ruizhan smiled: "Our association needs to find a friend with strength and status in your country's magic world. As for you or other wizards, it depends on who is friendlier."

Fudge hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what can I get?"

"Of course it's the friendship of our association and helping you deal with your enemies, such as Dumbledore."

"Okay, I agree. However, Dumbledore is not my enemy." Fudge said, looking at the ceiling.

"I understand, maybe not yet."

According to the information heard from Malfoy and Hagrid, Fudge became the Minister after Crouch lost his chance of being qualified because his son was in prison, and Dumbledore refused to be the Minister of Magic.

Even Hagrid looked down on him, thinking he was brainless, well... extremely hurtful and insulting.

Externally, Fudge behaves kindly, weakly, and has great respect for Dumbledore. He even writes more than a dozen letters a day to Hogwarts to ask Dumbledore questions.

Of course this is all pretend.

The information I learned from Malfoy may be Fudge's true side. He likes money, is obsessed with status and power, and is very dissatisfied with Dumbledore. He even hinted at a joint attack with Lucius Malfoy against Dumbledore, but what happened At the end of the day, I became timid again.

So it would be nice to have another friend from a badass family, right?

Otherwise, all you hear and see is the great and omnipotent Dumbledore.

Zhang Rui actually had no objection to Dumbledore, but he didn't want to be suppressed by such an excellent and almost perfect person.

If there are things he wants to do that are not allowed by Dumbledore, for example, there are so many things that violate school rules and even the laws of the wizarding world, Dumbledore probably won't allow it. He is not Harry Potter.

At this time, he needs a "friend" who can help him share the pressure and support him. This "friend" can even bring him great convenience.

……

Zhang Rui left the Ministry of Magic amid polite farewells from Fudge and everyone else, holding a letter of introduction stamped with the seal of the British Minister of Magic in his arms.

If his false identity is discovered by Hogwarts, he can continue to stay in Hogwarts, even if he is not old enough, even if he skips so many classes, and it does not depend entirely on Dumbledore's thoughts.

Zhang Rui prefers to take the initiative to control his own destiny rather than trusting someone's good intentions.

"Minister, is that kid really a member of the Chinese Wizards Association? Just based on those two pieces of paper?"

After Zhang Rui left, someone from the Ministry of Magic asked.

"What do you know? The faint magic fluctuations on the paper can only be left by wizards more powerful than Dumbledore. With such strength, what other proof is needed?" Fudge said seriously.

As for whether there are such powerful magic fluctuations? Anyway, only he has seen it, he is the minister and he has the final say.

"A wizard more powerful than Dumbledore! How is that possible?"

Dumbledore is the most powerful magician currently. This is almost universally recognized by the wizarding community, not just in the British wizarding community, but also internationally.

Fudge reprimanded with a straight face: "The world is so big, and China has a history of thousands of years far longer than ours in Britain. Isn't it normal to have powerful wizards?"

"Although Dumbledore is the elder I admire the most, we must respect objective facts and not regard him as an omnipotent god. He is already so old, and his body and energy are not as good as before..."

The first step to get rid of Dumbledore's influence is to let everyone gradually accept that Dumbledore is an old man, he is not invincible, and he is not a god.

This was the advice given by one of Secretary Fudge's "new friends."

……

"Isn't the Christmas vacation too long?"

Zhang Rui, who had been in the outside world for several days, complained boredly.

The Christmas holiday in the UK usually lasts from December 12th to January 24th. Since the students at Hogwarts come from all over the UK, in order to give the students time to go home, they actually take two days off in advance.

After Zhang Rui took care of the things here, he even took a special flight back to Hong Kong to handle some important work. He actually had two days off after he came back.

Although he has a wand now, it's not easy to use magic frequently outside. Minister Fudge still can't protect him so many times. After all, many people in the Ministry of Magic don't take him seriously.

He casually picked up the "Daily Prophet" from the past few days, which Fudge had specially sent to him.

The title is "Chinese Wizards Association, the Minister of Welfare's new friends."

"... The Chinese Wizards Association has heard of Minister Fudge for a long time, and sent people all the way to say hello to him and send him gifts... It praised Minister Fudge for being young and strong, working tirelessly, and being a good minister who wholeheartedly serves the wizards... and He expressed his willingness to support Minister Fudge's candidacy at the International Association of Wizards... This is the second friendship that Minister Fudge has gained since he took office... It is something that no previous Minister of Magic has ever done..."

"Haha, Fudge moves pretty fast, and he's quite shameless." Zhang Rui smiled as he looked at it.

Why do you say hello to him after hearing his name for a long time? Who in China knows about you, Fudge?

The gift was a bag of gold galleons, but did he dare to show it to others?

What does "youth and strength" mean? Does this imply who is older?

Support his candidacy for the International Wizards Association. The current president of the International Wizards Association is Dumbledore. Not to mention that Zhang Rui's Chinese Wizards Association is not even on the list of the so-called "International Wizards Association", even if he is added to the list. , Fudge is not even close.

What previous ministers have failed to do, it seems that China and the British wizarding world have indeed never had any contact. Of course, the only person who will have contact in the future is Zhang Rui.

After all, he was already a "good friend" of the Minister of Magic.
