The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

"Hermione is right." Anthony said loudly: "I am very busy and I don't have time to teach you magic."

"Besides, aren't these the jobs of professors? The school doesn't pay me a salary, so why should I work for professors?" he said confidently.

And as his voice fell.

Everyone's faces suddenly looked a little more restrained and regretful.

Anthony was right. It was none of his business, but sometimes classmates really needed some help from each other.

----

Looking at a group of little wizards, they looked like eggplants beaten by frost, all with sad faces.

This actually inspired Hermione's compassion...

Anthony also learned about it after the fact, just as disaster broke out in Godric's Hollow.

The dementors around Hogwarts collectively went into riot. Those creatures must have been ordered by Voldemort to stop Dumbledore.

Although the commotion did not last long, it was quickly suppressed by the professors' joint efforts.But the bad influence they had on the little wizards never faded.

After all, they are just a bunch of teenagers.

When the third grade begins, one or two Dementors can scare the whole train of students so hard that they dare not even breathe.

Not to mention the shocking scene of hundreds of dementors attacking the castle during the riot.

They were probably really scared, and that's why they were so anxious to learn magic.

"Maybe we can take some time." Hermione said slowly, and when she said this, her eyes fell on Anthony unconsciously.

There's something about time, about time-turners.

Ever since she returned from Godric's Hollow, she had been taken back by Professor McGonagall.

In other words, she had to give up several courses, which made Hermione a little disappointed. Although there were two courses that she had wanted to give up for a long time, but in line with the idea of ​​​​starting and ending, she decided to wait until next year and survive the first year. , but now...

"Harry's Patronus Charm is very powerful. He almost drove away hundreds of dementors by himself." She then added.

Upon hearing this, Ron immediately became unhappy, "Hey! What does it mean to be Harry alone? I'm obviously trying my best, okay?"

"Haha!" Hermione didn't argue with Ron. To what extent he had mastered the Patronus Charm, if others didn't know, would she not know?

After practicing for a month during the summer vacation, I could barely summon the physical guardian spirit.

After school started, he never practiced magic spells much.

Everyone knew that it must be Harry who drove away the group of dementors.Even if Ron is included, it is Harry who takes the main credit.

"Um..." Anthony looked at the young wizards around him in surprise. This atmosphere had a sense of déjà vu when Harry formed Dumbledore's Army in the Order of the Phoenix.

"How is Harry, can you spare some time?" Hermione then turned to ask Harry, and the kind-hearted Harry naturally did not refuse and said: "Of course, we train once a week, and the time can be spent on Sunday, because I have Quidditch practice on Saturday.”

"Then it's settled. If any of you want to participate, you can come to me to sign up." After saying that, the little witch took out a blank piece of parchment.

It was as if he had been prepared for it.

Looking at this scene, Anthony couldn't help but shook his head. With this attitude, he would not be the Minister of Magic or the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the future. It would be a waste of talent.

The registration process went quickly, and soon a long list of names appeared on the parchment in Hermione's hand.

After more than ten minutes, they were finally free.

"Huh~ I wanted to sleep in on Sunday and see what a good job you did, Hermione." Ron didn't agree with such a thankless job from the beginning.

"You should spend some time practicing magic spells. Besides, we are mutually beneficial and help each other. We are not asking you to be a teacher. Why bother?"

"Come on, I don't know about it as a senior, how can I still not understand about it?" Ron said confidently: "How many people in the entire third grade can cast the disarming spell?"

"Not to mention the disarming spell, even the simplest obstacle spell, the fire spell, there are many people who don't know how to do it. You obviously want me to be a coolie."

"Ha! It's obvious that the coolie is Harry. You seem to be very proficient in these spells." Anthony ruthlessly pointed out Ron's magic level.

"Hey! I'm still very proficient in these spells, okay? Think of the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest."

"Think about it! I just remember you screaming."

"I...my wand was broken at that time, okay?" Ron jumped up with a red face and said: "Look at me now." As he said that, he suddenly took out his wand and waved it quickly, and suddenly The candles used to decorate the wall flew towards him in an instant.

Then he threw out the levitating spell, and the spell hit the candle steadily, and it suddenly started to spin around Ron as if someone was dragging it.

"Not bad!" Anthony raised his eyebrows. This time, he really didn't have any weirdness. The magic level Ron showed just now is enough to deal with ordinary fifth- and sixth-year-old students.

Under certain circumstances, such as an attack by dementors, Ron might be more useful than those senior students.

"Haha, that's right. With my level of magic, even dealing with ordinary Death Eaters is a piece of cake. We just didn't meet each other that day. Are you right, Harry?" said Ron, who was a little excited. He said proudly, and stepped on a group of Death Eaters along the way.

However, the other friends just smiled politely, and no one took Ron's words seriously.

But others in the Gryffindor common room felt otherwise.

Many people cast envious glances at Ron.

Especially a group of first and second grade wizards stared at Ron eagerly. The carefree-looking red-haired senior suddenly looked taller.

Among them, the happiest one is Ginny. Ever since her brother's achievements were exposed, the proud look on her face has never faded.

All she needed to do was stick a small piece of paper on her forehead, which read: Second Level Winner of the Great Order of Merlin, Hero of Gryffindor, Protector of Godric's Town, Honor of the Weasley Family, Fireborn Ultra There are a few lines of big words about Ron Weasley, the lifelong baronet and the sister of Ron Weasley.

"Anthony?" Harry suddenly called him.

"what happened?"

"Do you know anything about what happened after Godric's Town?" he asked.

"Me?" Anthony was stunned, he knew something!He lay in bed for several days, and when he woke up, he was criticized by Professor Dumbledore for the whole day. After that, he was kicked back to Hogwarts before he could find out anything.

This——what does he know when he has time?

"We went to Hogwarts together, what do you think?" Although Anthony knew what Harry was asking, he was probably just worried about his mother. After all, they were all puppets created by Voldemort. Now Voldemort was seriously injured again and became a ghost. Strictly speaking, they should have lost control of those resurrected people, but now there is indeed no news at all.

It feels a bit like not seeing people alive but not dead.

unless...

"However, what happened in Godric's Hollow this time is indeed very strange."

"What did you guess Anthony?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

"First of all, the Ministry of Magic commended us. It was too fast. The Medal of Merlin is not easy to obtain. Even if there is a reasonable reason, the entire review process will take a long time. This time it only took a few days. International Federation of Wizards After all the formalities were taken care of, it was as if they were eager to feel like they were giving us the award.”

"What's the point? Don't we deserve the award?" Ron said dismissively.

"Idiot, Voldemort is not dead yet! After all the publicity in the newspapers, guess who he will look for first if he is resurrected?" Anthony glared at him angrily, and then said: "I But remind you, the Resurrection Stone is still in their hands!"

"This..." Ron suddenly shuddered. He also realized that the danger had not disappeared, and he would probably become a target. However, he still pretended to be calm and said: "No matter what, you and If Hermione can defeat him once, she can defeat him a second time."

"Ha! Then you really think highly of me."

"Also, the British government acted so quickly this time! Did they discuss it with the Ministry of Magic? They even knighted you two."

"I can understand their claim, but the tacit understanding with the Ministry of Magic is very surprising." Anthony sighed, but in the foreseeable future, Mr. Barty Crouch's life will definitely not be easy, and he may directly take the blame and resign. Maybe.

After all, Godric's Death Eater attack and Dementor's betrayal were two things he couldn't escape trial for.

But under such circumstances, he still chose to stay very close to Huck and the British government.

You know, populism in wizarding society has been on the rise recently, and purebloods who have been suppressed for a long time have finally found an opportunity to try to move to Mr. Minister.

At this time, shouldn't he cut off ties with the British government, cater to a wave of populism, and save his poor support rate?

Anyway, Anthony couldn't understand what he was doing.

"The government is promoting us?" Hermione frowned and looked at Anthony in confusion.

"Can't you see this?" Anthony sighed. The young wizards had too few skill points in the social and political fields. "Build momentum for us, understand? The magical world is so big, and the future Ministry of Magic Senior officials will inevitably appear among us, Granger, do you think I'm kidding when I say you will become the Minister of Magic in the future?"

"When everyone around you is watching, leading the wizarding world becomes your unavoidable responsibility. And the British government is certainly happy to see a future royal as Minister for Magic."

"What member of the royal family? Do you want to be the Minister of Magic?" Hermione shook her head stupidly, unable to react for a moment.

"Of course it's you, Your Highness the Princess!"

"..." Hearing this, Hermione blushed instantly and quickly put her head down, not daring to look at Anthony's teasing eyes.

Seeing this, Anthony tilted his head happily and looked at her.

Ever since he gave half of his time to Hermione, the two of them were basically tied together.She will never be able to run away in this life.

Then Anthony continued: "So, the Queen didn't knight you, and you didn't even notice?"

"Well——I guess Huck has not given up on his idea of ​​integrating the wizarding world into the British government. Now he is advocating the merits of a few of us. No matter which one of us serves as the Minister of Magic in the future, the British Prime Minister can use it. The government proposed the decree to integrate the Ministry of Magic. Even if it cannot be implemented at that time and the resistance is too great, as long as we wait for more than ten years, our descendants will complete this undertaking."

"Descendants..." The sound of a mosquito buzzed instantly, and it only appeared for a very short time. Neither Anthony nor Harry heard it.

"Mr. Harker is really ambitious." Harry was stunned and couldn't help but sigh at this plan that spanned more than ten years, or even decades.

His vision shifted from Anthony to Hermione.

Then a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth. Of course, he knew everything about the situation between the two people, especially these days.

He is just emotionally dull, not an idiot, of course he can see it.

"This may be the best way out for wizards."

"What do you mean?" Ron asked curiously.

"Traditional pure-blood wizards are gradually declining, and there will only be more and more mixed-blood and Muggle-born wizards. It is easy to see what the future will be like for a magical society with only a few thousand people. There is nothing wrong with joining the British government. Yes, the country will subsidize some special talents. It’s okay for a country to subsidize a few thousand people. Then at least ordinary wizards’ lives will be much easier.”

"Just like your family, Ron. If you could receive state subsidies on a per capita basis, your family's life would be much better than it is now."

"Um - it seems so." Ron touched his head and nodded in agreement. Their family doesn't care who is in power. There is no difference between the Minister of Magic and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to the Weasley family. Anyway, their family Not anti-Muggle.

If the British Prime Minister really becomes powerful in the future, maybe they won't have to hide their identity as wizards, and he might be able to visit the bustling city of London like a normal tourist.

"And after the two merge with each other, wizards can also run for parliament!"

"The Minister of Magic will directly enter the cabinet. According to his rank, he will be one of the best in the cabinet. When the term is up, he can still run for the British Prime Minister after retiring as the Minister of Magic."

"That's right! An Indian can be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, so why can't a British wizard? At least the wizard prime minister is a pure British, and he doesn't have an American green card in his pocket."

"..."

"What are you talking about, Anthony?" Harry and Ron frowned and asked in confusion.

"Ah ha, sorry, sorry." Anthony coughed dryly, "Just talking to myself, just talking to myself."
