Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

Is this what Helbo does?

This attack was extremely powerful and also very reasonable. While causing a certain amount of combat power gap on Riven's side, it did not cause chaos in the situation.

You know, Rufus Scrimgeour is a loyal supporter of Barty Crouch Sr. (Voldemort) on his way to the top, and can be called his absolute confidant.

Now that he has promoted this confidant to the position of Deputy Minister of Magic and allowed him to share his power, it can be said that he values ​​him very much.

However, is it really that simple?

Don't forget Dolores Umbridge's painful lesson!

On the surface, the position of Deputy Minister of Magic seems to be high and powerful, and it seems that he has reached a level where he can no longer be promoted.

But in fact, it is only half a level higher than the directors, and may even be less powerful than the directors in terms of actual power.

Since the Director of the Ministry of Magic is responsible for managing all areas of the entire magical world, he can be said to be an important figure who possesses absolute authority and autocratic power within the area under his jurisdiction.

However, what about the deputy ministers? They often lack actual power, just like Dolores Umbridge in the past, and can only rely on Fudge's support and protection, and rely on the minister's breath.

However, if Rufus Scrimgeour had been appointed Deputy Minister for Magic, things might have been different.

After all, after years of hard work, he has accumulated a solid foundation.

Both his personal reputation and the prestige of the Scrimgeour family as a Celtic pure-blood family are very loud.

Because of this, Rufus Scrimgeour, the deputy minister, does have the hope of being promoted to a full-time position, and the value of his position is not low.

Therefore, he would be less passive than Umbridge.

But losing the power to directly interfere with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

And old Barty Crouch (Voldemort) was not afraid of being discovered when he used this method of promoting people in public but demoting them secretly.

After all, on the surface, he did promote Rufus Scrimgeour from director to deputy director, which was a clear improvement in his position.

If there were no other backup plan, this would be a genuine promotion for Rufus Scrimgeour.

As for the appointment of Dolores Umbridge, it is a key link in this combination of punches, and it is also the back-up plan prepared by Barty Crouch Sr. (Voldemort).

Regardless of what promises Barty Crouch Sr. (Voldemort) had made to Umbridge,

Now placing Umbridge in the position that originally belonged to Rufus Scrimgeour would bring many benefits.

Firstly, Umbridge herself came from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, so it was reasonable for her to be transferred back to this position and would not cause any criticism from others.

Secondly, doing so would effectively cut off the connection between Rufus Scrimgeour and the Aurors, completely separating this powerful "regular army" of the wizarding world from Rufus Scrimgeour.

As a senior Auror, Scrimgeour now has few seniors of his generation in the Auror team. The team is full of his students and juniors.

If these people were asked to choose between Barty Crouch Sr. and Rufus Scrimgeour,

Then this elite division of the Ministry of Magic would not hesitate to stand shoulder to shoulder with Rufus Scrimgeour and stand against the Minister of Magic Barty Crouch (Voldemort).

After all, it had been more than a decade since Barty Crouch Sr. stepped down from his position as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic.

As early as more than ten years ago, he was already at the level of director, and the difference in status made him quite alienated from ordinary Aurors.

However, Rufus Scrimgeour was very different.

He has long been the top leader of these Aurors, and not long ago he was the office director of the Auror Command.

Until recently he was promoted to Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic.

In all fairness, anyone in this situation would have chosen to side with Rufus Scrimgeour.

If Dolores Umbridge were not sent to take the position of Head of Department, but was promoted from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement,

Then it really became a promotion for Rufus Scrimgeour, and the Aurors were still under his command.

If Umbridge were put in this position now, the situation would be very different.

She would never obey Rufus Scrimgeour's orders, and would even actively suppress her Aurors and strictly forbid them to carry out orders from Rufus Scrimgeour.

This situation would continue as long as Rufus Scrimgeour did not break completely with the Ministry of Magic.

After all, he absolutely did not want these old friends who had once fought side by side with him to come into any conflict with the Ministry of Magic.

As a result, the people who originally controlled the elite Auror force were no longer "allies" on Raven's side.

At least there is no need to worry, because one day in the future, this powerful force carefully cultivated by the Ministry of Magic will become an aid to Raven's side.

You know, hundreds of elite wizards are undoubtedly an extremely powerful fighting force no matter where they are deployed.

Even Voldemort, who had just reached the legendary level, would not dare to confront such an elite force. Looking back, the strength of the wizarding party led by Grindelwald was roughly the same.

As for the current Auror Command Chief, Frank Longbottom, he is Raven's staunch supporter and loyal advocate.

It doesn't really matter.

Even before the Longbottoms woke up, Rufus Scrimgeour often mentioned them as "Auror role models" to new Aurors.

However, this couple had been absent from the workplace for more than ten years, and the new generation of Aurors had no experience fighting together with them.

Therefore, even though Frank Longbottom was the Chief of Staff of the Auror Command, he could not easily influence the thoughts of all the Aurors like Rufus Scrimgeour.

Sometimes, Raven would even think to himself: Is it because the power I have accumulated is too great? So that my enemies will become cautious and restrained when they take action?

Just like this time, his enemies would clip his "wings" one by one before dealing with him.

These enemies know that every force around Revan is a threat that cannot be underestimated.

Whether it was recruiting vampires from the Hermetic Order from America to fight against Remus Lupin's werewolves,

Or he cleverly used Barty Crouch Sr. (Voldemort's former lover) as Minister of Magic to temporarily ban Rufus Scrimgeour's Auror command.

They are all weakening the power of Raven.

However, putting himself in the enemy's shoes and thinking from the enemy's perspective, Riven couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

After all, his own fighting ability is so powerful that it has reached an astonishing level.

To describe the fighting power of others, one might say that it has reached the "ceiling" of the world, but for Riven, such a description seems a little pale and powerless.

Raven, his soul essence is still the guy who roams the underworld.

If we use the "ceiling" as a metaphor, then he is the person who bends down and kneels carefully, always reminding himself not to break through this fragile ceiling easily.

Although everyone seems to be equally strong on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is not the case.

There may be no difference on a normal day, but once a real hostility arises, the former's chances of winning are slim.

In this situation where the odds of winning were already low, if the hundreds of elite wizards around Raven were allowed to attack at will, the consequences would be disastrous. By then, what was there to struggle for?

Therefore, Raven was not surprised at all that Helpo would attack the combat power around him.

But I didn't expect him to use such a clever method.

By using the rules and human nature, he easily controlled more than a hundred elite wizards, making it difficult for them to help Raven.

The price paid is just to stamp a stamp on personnel appointments and dismissals.

It can be said that Helbo has a very keen political sense, and he is totally unlike the traditional black wizard who devotes himself to studying black magic.

Perhaps in his more than 3,000 years of life, he had once been a powerful person?
