HP: The opening tarot card is used as a Horcrux

[Pope] saw that Noah was hesitating. After all, it would be a good choice to use the power of the Ivanov family to become the ruling faction of the Russian Ministry of Magic. After all, no matter what they do, only one or two will survive in the end. The status of the Ministry of Magic of a small country is definitely not comparable to that of the Russian Ministry of Magic, which directly succeeded the Soviet Ministry of Magic in terms of international status, so the [Pope] continued:

"Now the elders of the Ivanov family have summoned all the family members and wizards from the affiliated families back, and they have now ordered me to hand over everything I run in Lan Country to another pure-blood family. It is said that Ivan The elders of the Nov family have already exchanged sufficient price and gold galleons from that pure-blood family."

"Furthermore, the family elders also asked me to take the Acromantula industry started by my master and add it to the family's common property - of course they promised me and gave me a chance to be the leader of the clan."

"A patriarch who is controlled by the elders! And it's just a chance." Noah's eyes gradually turned cold: "The way those old men talk is really annoying!"

"Master, it's best not to deal with them." [The Pope] saw Noah being angry and quickly reminded: "Although those old guys are annoying, they are not dark wizards after all, so they have wide connections in the entire wizarding world, and He is very prestigious and has good relations with many powerful wizards. When Dumbledore came to the Soviet Union to balance the war, he specifically sought out those old guys."

Noah was silent for a while, and then thought about the consequences of killing those old guys - he was not afraid of the so-called connections and prestige, nor was he afraid of getting into trouble with Dumbledore, not to mention that Dumbledore couldn't find evidence. It was impossible to fall out with him. Next year's Harry Potter alone would be enough to involve all his energy - but in the end it was still not cost-effective. The benefits of solving those old men were not proportional to the trouble, so he gave up. .

"So what do you want to do!"

"I will break up with them, and then split the family - this is the power of the direct bloodline under the rules of a pure-blood family. They have no reason to reject me, and they only dare to use some secret means to stop me." [The Pope] replied: "Then I will withdraw from the Lan Kingdom. The territory of the Lan Kingdom is too big. After those old men withdrew the members of the Ivanov family and the affiliated wizards, even with the help of the [Emperor], I will not be able to run such a big business. Territory of range.”

"Of course I won't withdraw in vain. I will ask the Ivanov family to hand over the benefits they obtained from another pure-blood family - they will definitely agree! If they don't agree, I will The territory here is given to the opposing force of the pure-blood family. In this case, the Ivanov family will not only have to compensate the family they promised, but also pay the price of violating the contract. At this time, they cannot bear it. So they will definitely give in. .”

"After withdrawing from Lan Country, I will take away what I have accumulated during this period, as well as the benefits gained from the Ivanov family, to the border of the Soviet Union near the Arctic. Several small countries will be split there, and I We will find a way to control those small countries. The combined territory of these small countries should be similar to that of Lan State, but the resource richness is definitely much different."

"But the impact should not be big. Our magical animal breeding industry has developed to a mature level. Based on the two magical animals, the Acromantula and the magic wolf that the Ivanov family already has, I will Add new magical animals - [Sun], [Moon], and [Stars], the three of them have been confirmed to help me."

As the master of magical animals, Newt loves magical animals as much as Hagrid, but he is not as blind as Hagrid. He can accept that some magical animals will be raised and slaughtered - after all, no matter what, the wizard's wand You still need to use potions. Hagrid is a child who has grown up and is ignorant. Except for Hagrid, other magical animal experts understand this, so they also cooperate with the Magical Beast Farm. Newt No exception, he has had a close connection with the Romanian Fire Dragon Farm from very early on.

"Can't you even have Leah's vampires help you?" Noah finally asked unwillingly.

"No, the vampires cannot interfere in this kind of thing, otherwise the nature will change, which will bring danger to [Queen]." [Pope] said affirmatively.

"Is that so!" Noah frowned: "If that's the case, the original big country has become many small countries, so the original plan should also change!"

[Pope] looked at Noah suspiciously.

"What do you think would happen if there was a werewolf country or a vampire country?" Noah had an expectant smile on his face - unlike wizards, werewolves and vampires can transform Muggles into werewolves and vampires. , but the strength after being transformed may not be as good as the werewolf or vampire transformed by the wizard.

[The Pope] looked at Noah with horrified eyes - this idea was too unorthodox: "The International Federation of Wizards will not agree."

"No, they will agree." Noah was very confident: "Using two countries with a small population and located in remote areas in exchange for werewolves not spreading wolfsbane and for vampires to live in a corner, this is in the eyes of the International Wizards Federation. Coming here is the perfect deal."

After Noah made his decision, he no longer wasted time and got up to leave.

Taking out the [Portkey], Noah gave the [Pope] one last look: "This matter has been decided. I will arrange for others to be responsible for the vampire and werewolf matters. You just do what you should do."

"Then, your strength is too weak, so you have to go further. Hurry up and find the direction in which you can improve. [Sacrifice Magic] I will tell you later. If you can't solve it in the short term, I will help you Find a way to advance to the Grand Wizard. You know that method, the one used on [Devils]. Of course, it will be gentler on you, after all, your body is still useful and cannot be destroyed, but gentleness cannot go beyond that. "

After saying this, Noah ignored the [Pope] and returned to England directly with the portkey.

......

In the early morning at Hogwarts, Noah came to the auditorium to enjoy today's breakfast and found that there were many pine trees in the auditorium.

Noah watched Professor Flitwick helping Hagrid use magic on the pine trees to decorate them like Christmas trees, and he suddenly realized: "It's already Christmas."

"It's already December! School started in September, and three months have passed already!" Noah thought for a moment: "In September, I was busy working as a psychotherapist and doing home visits. By the way, I still have By the way, I threatened Snape. In October, I established [Yeqi Club], and I was working on the school part. And based on [Yeqi Club], I established a team of teaching assistants, and I taught them about my Muggle studies. concepts of the class and then hand them off to other students.”

"Also in the past November, I was studying ancient magic and ancient runes, as well as studying Grindelwald's notes."

"Oh, time flies so fast!"

Because Noah works regardless of day or night, and he also leaves most of the teaching tasks to the teaching assistants, Noah does not need to grade homework, and there are no exams, plus Dumbledore also intends to He indulged Noah, so time passed quickly without realizing it.

"By the way, a Christmas gift." Noah suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten this very important thing.

In the European wizarding world, not giving gifts to friends at Christmas time basically means breaking up the relationship - a big risk. Fortunately, preparations for Christmas in the West begin long before Christmas. There is still some time left on the day of the festival, so Noah is not beyond redemption yet.

"Phew, all the good popularity I had gained before was almost ruined." Noah breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly sorted out the list of people he should give gifts to in his mind: "Professors at Hogwarts, and These are all given to my assistants. And then there are the purebloods who have signed a contract with me - giving them gifts is mainly to show my presence and let them not forget the contract."

"Fortunately, [Yeqi Club] doesn't need me to send them... No, the [Emperor] will be responsible for those parents, but the same cannot be said for the students in [Yeqi Club], I still need to do it myself. "

Noah had a headache thinking about it, he was most annoyed by this kind of human interaction. This is also thanks to the clone's side and the clone's connections. Noah doesn't need to be responsible, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

"By the way, I seem to have a house elf named Peppa Pig, right! I remember I ordered it to keep my resurrection ceremony - you can let it come over to help."

Noah had already thought about the gift. He planned to find some magic books from the [Ravenclaw Diadem], and then give him different contents based on the other person's strength and relationship with him.

For pure-blood families, they will give you information about [Occlumency], and for students, they will give you some practical magic spells.

"I have to study the school professors carefully." Noah's eyes lit up - [Miss Ravenclaw]'s [Library] function has a shortcoming, that is, it can only query and collect information, and cannot conduct research. , and a lot of precious knowledge is actually hidden in books and will not be written out directly.

When Noah used [Library] to check the cause of the abnormality of the three Celestial Brothers, [Library] could not find it, but using the same books as a reference, Dumbledore and Newt explored the reason. The gap between the two is due to the shortcomings of the [library].

The professors at Hogwarts are all very good, and most of them have strong research capabilities, especially the four deans, so Noah can take advantage of this opportunity to give gifts and ask them to help him research some content. .
