Harry Potter: The Muggle Crown Prince at Hogwarts

Chapter 438 The new minister in the conspiracy

Windermere Villa has been restored to its former atmosphere.

But great changes have taken place in the wizarding world.

First, Fudge took the blame and resigned. The various directors immediately became active and began to canvass votes. They gave various speeches in Hogsmeade and spread to every wizarding family through the later introduction of Muggle television.

Immediately afterwards, the top three matches also caused controversy.

Although there is no official conclusion yet due to changes in the Ministry of Magic, politicians from all walks of life have expressed their opinions on this stunt to attract votes.

The young Muggle wizards also had great opinions.

Their majesty and the royal steward had both had accidents in the Triwizard Tournament, and of course they would not consider this tournament to be anything auspicious.

But most of the Muggles are in the Muggle Liaison Committee. Those who are in school are controlled by the head of the college and cannot speak nonsense. Those outside the school are restricted by the Knight Commander and Diana and remain silent.

Therefore, the Triwizard Tournament unexpectedly became a stage for politicians.

Among this group of officials, Scrimgeour attracted many supporters because of his always tough style.

Everyone believed that after Fudge had been self-stealing for so many years, the Ministry of Magic should welcome an iron-blooded minister to wipe out all the ills that Fudge had accumulated.

Barty Crouch is actually a tough guy.

But what his son did was enough to drag him down to the point of being unable to move even by himself.

Within half a month, Crouch announced his withdrawal from the election.

As for Bagman…

Although everyone knows that a big demon like Voldemort is definitely not something Bagman can control.

But as the Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, he is nominally the biggest person in charge of the Triwizard Tournament, so it is inevitable that he will also be implicated.

After Allen learned of this situation, he asked Lance what Scrimgeour thought about the Triwizard Tournament.

Lance replied,

"Scrimgeour said that the Triwizard Tournament has been stagnant for hundreds of years and should not be restarted. But now that it has been restarted, there is no reason to stop."

Allen smiled softly,

"This is to my liking. In that case, give him an assistant."

Lance paused, somewhat unexpectedly.

"But you once said that he is too tough and might not be useful to us."

Allen twirled his fingers and thought,

"It would be unrealistic to send one of our people directly to the position of Minister of Magic, but it would be much simpler if he 'happens' to become a trusted official of the new Minister.

"Scrimgeour is too rigid, and sometimes that's a good thing.

"Once such a person is blindfolded, he is the best weapon. As a last resort, just mislead him into making decisions and cause public resentment..."

Lance suddenly realized, "Then, he will be pushed into the abyss by the people!"

Allen nodded and added, "We don't even need to do it."

Diana came in with a medicine bowl and asked slowly with a threatening smile,

"What hand are you moving?"

……

After the decision that no one knew about in Windermere, the situation in the Ministry of Magic seemed to change suddenly.

Most of the lower-level employees have various involvements with the Knights outside the school, and now they unanimously support Scrimgeour.

Bagman, the old fox, realized something, turned around and invited Scrimgeour to dine with him with a smile.

He seemed sincere and said, "Rufus, although I also want to run for minister, I recently asked wizards and employees of the Ministry of Magic...

"They all believe that if you take office, you can easily eliminate the hidden dangers left by Fudge."

He pretended to smile and sighed,

"Actually, I think so too. But people are always unwilling to give up until they give it a try...

"I myself am soft-hearted and know that I can't achieve anything. If I am soft-hearted at the critical moment... it will really ruin things."

Scrimgeour's expression softened a bit and he said, "You are also very good, Bagman. You can't be blamed for the Dark Lord causing trouble - none of us could have predicted it."

Bagman said in surprise, "Do you really think so, Rufus!"

He seemed to be moved beyond words and repeatedly promised,

"Don't worry, Rufus! Based on your words, as long as I am in the Ministry of Magic, I will support you unswervingly!"

He even shed two tears and covered his face as if he was aggrieved.

"Oh, Rufus... you are really... They all said that I was incompetent and that I did not manage the Triwizard Tournament well. You are the only one who thinks so..."

Scrimgeour was very moved.

He reached out and put his hand on Bagman's shoulder, patted it gently, and tried to comfort him dryly, "No, Ludo... I believe you have made a lot of efforts, and it is not your fault..."

Bagman was naturally moved beyond measure.

After this, under Bagman's deliberate guidance, poor Scrimgeour really regarded him as a good employee who worked hard.

The position of Minister of Magic was succeeded by Scrimgeour because of everyone's acquiescence and collusion.

Allen immediately sent a congratulatory letter and wrote——

[Congratulations, Secretary Scrimgeour.It is a pity that I was unable to attend due to illness and could not witness the swearing-in ceremony of your succession. I had to send my blessings from a distance at home.

Thank you for asking His Majesty earlier. Although Voldemort has fallen, there are still many dark wizards disturbing public order. I am always moved by your promises during the campaign.

Yes, a strong government can create peace and prosperity.

I hope that after you take over, the sea will be bright and the feast will be clear. ]

At that time, the crown prince on the hospital bed was watching the magic TV that had been delivered.

Scrimgeour swore a firm oath on TV, but he looked at the shy assistant next to the new minister, his sea-blue eyes showing the calmness of being in control.
