Hogwarts in the shadows

Arthur nodded helplessly, as a member of the Pureblood Society.

Although he may not agree, or even stand on the opposite side.

But whether he is present or not, all decisions will be made to him.

Percy was able to take the position of Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, of course, with the help of the Pureblood Club.

The mastermind behind all this is Hephes.

"I'm like a boat rowing against the current. If I don't move forward, there's no possibility of moving forward." Percy's voice revealed determination.

"Actually, it's good for you to just stay where you are." Arthur tried to persuade.

Percy shook his head helplessly.

"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?"

Arthur was speechless for a moment, how could he not understand.

Whether Percy wants it or not, Hephis will push him to a higher position - Minister of Magic.

If Percy refused, it would be tantamount to betrayal, and everything he had now would be lost.

He sighed, "Have a good talk with your brothers. They are worried about you too."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and opened the door of the ward.

Molly led Ron and the others into the ward.

After Percy's injury, the barriers between their family members disappeared, leaving only warmth.

The visiting time passed quickly.

They couldn't disturb Percy's rest too much, so they decided to leave first.

Molly would come over every day to spend some time with Percy.

Fred gave George a playful look, and George immediately understood.

George slowly left the room with his family, but Fred did not move.

Percy looked at his brother who always loved to play pranks with some curiosity, "What's wrong, Fred?"

Fred scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Um... Percy, you are the director now, so your salary is high, right?"

"Why do you want to borrow money? Tell me, how much do you need?" Percy said happily.

Fred was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this to be so easy.

"Uh... you just agreed to this? You don't even ask us how we plan to use it?"

Percy chuckled, "What's there to ask? It's just about those joke products of yours. You want to borrow money to open a store."

"Thank you, Percy!" said Fred gratefully.

But Percy changed the subject, "Don't be so quick to thank me. I have conditions."

Fred was relieved when he heard that. As long as there were conditions, Percy would definitely lend it to them.

"Next year will be your last year at Hogwarts.

In the NEWT exam, each student gets seven 'excellents'. Isn't this too much to ask for? " Percy said with a smile.

"Seven 'excellent'?!" Fred stared at Percy in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

You know, they only take seven subjects in total.

"Remember, it's you and George, seven 'excellent' each." Percy emphasized and then added.

“In exchange, I will invest five thousand gold galleons in you, accounting for fifty percent of the shares.

But for every 'excellent' one less, I will give you 5% more of my shares. If you only get four, then you can just wait to work for me."

When Fred heard the amount, excitement immediately flashed in his eyes.

They had already inquired in Diagon Alley and found out that the rent for the land there was only two thousand Galleons.

These five thousand gold galleons are undoubtedly a huge sum of money, enough for them to do great things.

"Deal! George and I will take care of the fourteen 'excellent' ones! Just don't complain that your share is too small when the time comes." Fred happily agreed.

Percy smiled with relief, he knew his two younger brothers very well.

Geminis are quite smart, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to make so many inventions.

But they don't focus on studying at all, so their results are unsatisfactory.

Fred hopped out.

Percy's smile faded and his eyes turned cold.

Since some people have made the decision, they must bear the corresponding consequences.

As Percy recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Even some ordinary people smelled something unusual.

The Wizengamot trials also began.

There are more than a dozen dark wizards, there is nothing much to say, they just do the job for money.

However, considering their previous criminal records, they were all sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.

Percy also got a credit for subduing them.

The exposure of the photo stone caused an uproar.

Of course, the content has been carefully edited, retaining only the scene where the Dementors appear.

Dementors are creatures directly managed by the Ministry of Magic, so naturally there are detailed records.

This makes Umbridge the prime suspect.

Umbridge was not present due to illness, so the Aurors went to look for her at her home.

However, his residence had long been deserted, and even his valuables were missing.

All this undoubtedly further confirmed the fact that he committed the crime and fled.

The Wizengamot issued a ruling in court to arrest Umbridge.

Of course, some people have questioned why Umbridge hired someone to attack Director Percy Weasley.

There doesn't seem to be any direct conflict between the two of them.

That is, their motivation is insufficient.

And Umbridge was a Dementor deployed for Minister Fudge.

Although he did not point it out, everyone present could hear the hidden meaning in his words.

Minister Fudge also seems to be involved.

Fudge also refuted this insinuation.

The deployment of Dementors was purely for the purpose of strengthening protection and ensuring the safety of the Ministry of Magic.

But he didn't expect Umbridge to take this opportunity to attack Director Percy Weasley.

Of course, he also took the initiative to take the blame for not knowing the person well.

He also expressed his sincere apology to Percy on the spot for his misuse of the villain.

Percy did not take this opportunity to attack Fudge, but accepted it graciously.

After all, he had never intended to use this incident to bring down Fudge.

But this will leave a seed, a seed of doubt.

Just as he expected.

Except for the Prophet, which was relatively fair and made the results of the Wizengamot trial public.

But more tabloids, although they dare not write it explicitly, are madly filled with all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Among them, "The Quibbler" was even more shocking, directly pointing out that Fudge was the mastermind behind the incident.

He was even portrayed as a traitor who had secretly defected to the Dark Lord, attempting to use Percy's death to clear the obstacles ahead.

Fudge was so angry that he started throwing things around in the office again, feeling helpless and furious.

The date for the International Confederation of Wizards has finally been set.

It will be held on the 25th of this month in France.

The original plan was for Fudge to lead the team.

But because of this attack, Fudge was caught in a vortex of public opinion.

It was finally decided that Percy would take on this task.

Hephis received Percy's message immediately.

His eyes turned again to the report on the attack in Nepal.

He smiled faintly, the show was finally about to begin.
