HP has a villain system but has become a popular character

In the Minister of Magic's private office, Millicent sat behind her desk, supporting her forehead with both hands, looking at the investigation documents sent by her subordinates in front of her, feeling extremely worried.

He really didn't want to have any contact with the Lord family, one of the financial backers of the Ministry of Magic.

Since the Lord family was announced, many wizards and families have disappeared or been removed from the wizarding world. Anyone with a normal brain can figure out who did it.

But those people's disappearance was their own fault, and most of them were dark wizards roaming Knockturn Alley. The disappearance or death of this group of people was a good thing for the Ministry of Magic. At least during that period of time, the crime rate in the British wizarding world dropped a lot, and even the Auror Department had a few days of rest.

Moreover, during the investigation, the people from the Ministry of Magic did not find any actual evidence pointing to the disappearance of those people being related to the Lord family.

On the surface, Wenxiu Lord is just engaging in commercial mergers. Is this illegal? This is very reasonable, but it just happens that the families that own those industries have been expelled from the magic world.

Moreover, at least one-fifth of the Ministry of Magic relies on the Lord family's investment, especially the Auror department. The Lord family is responsible for all salaries, bonuses and medical expenses.

The treatment of the Aurors was visibly improved. Seeing Wenxiu Lord was like seeing a living good man. When receiving orders from their superiors, they turned a blind eye and played dumb during the search.

This time it was different. Although all the participants in the banquet were Death Eaters, many of them brought their families, especially the young wizards. Not all of them had the good quality of keeping their mouths shut.

After he went back and told his friends in letters, which then spread to other people, almost everyone in this small wizarding world knew that Selwyn had offended Vinciu Lord.

In addition, when Sirius took away the wanted dark wizard named Olu at the banquet, Olu looked like he was about to die.

Based on the information found in the files and Millicent's long-term understanding of Vinciu Lord, he will definitely not let Selwyn go.

And Oulu and Selwyn are Death Eaters.

There is Lord and Voldemort, and the weak and helpless Millicent is caught in the middle. Now she just wants to retire right where she is and leave this mess to the next minister.

Otherwise, if this continued, he always felt that he would die suddenly.

The secretary who had delivered the investigation materials to Millicent saw the Minister of Magic with a worried look on his face, and asked cautiously and tentatively, "Minister, are you still investigating? Or should I call the Chief Auror over like we did a few times before?"

When Millicent heard this, he was so angry that he threw the documents on the table at the secretary, "Are you stupid? Or do you think I'm too comfortable in this position?!"

He wanted to do it the same way as the previous times, but this time too many people knew about it. Everyone knew that the disappearance of the Selwyn family in such a short period of time must be related to the Lord family. He didn't need to worry about those nobles. After all, these nobles had more or less seen that man's methods, and no one would make things difficult for themselves.

But ordinary wizards who know something will not think so. If a reasonable and satisfactory answer is not given, the credibility of the Ministry of Magic will probably become worse than that of the Daily Prophet.

By then, if those ignorant wizards are instigated by his opponents and cause trouble, he, the Minister of Magic, will really have to step down and let others take over.

In the Transfiguration class, Vinciu Lord stared at a match on the table, the tip of his wand pointed at it, his whole body focused on it, almost making eyes.

He was trying to transform this ordinary match into a hollow carved sterling silver embroidery needle. It was not that he did not want to turn it into pure gold, but it was too difficult and the system did not give him any plug-ins in this regard, so he could only do it step by step.

Fortunately, he probably has a good talent? While other little wizards were still trying to turn matches into needles, he started preparing to carve.

He chanted a series of spells made up of adjectives, and the tip of the staff glowed with light. With a bang, a huge carved and hollow golden hoop smashed onto the table in front of Wenxiu Lord.

Severus saw his broken match and habitually took out a new one from the matchbox.

Wenxiu Lord waved his magic wand and turned the pillar back into a match. He lay on the table in frustration, "Ah, failed again. Why did it grow bigger?"

When Professor McGonagall heard the voice, she walked towards the two of them. Hearing the boy's complaint, the serious Professor McGonagall rarely showed a kind smile in class.

"With your current abilities, it's already pretty impressive."

Hearing the voice behind him, Wenxiu Lord quickly sat up and turned around, "Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall nodded, looked at the tuft of hair sticking up on Wenxiu Lord's head, and resisted the urge to go up and rub it. She walked up to him and began to explain to the boy the reason for his failure just now.

On the other side, in the crowd of Ravenclaws, Sally Bourne looked at Vinciu Lord who was listening attentively, with admiration and love in his eyes almost overflowing.

When his friend sitting next to him saw him like this, he bumped his shoulder in disgust.

"Stop looking at me. Ever since I asked you to ask Wenxiu Lord a question at the beginning of the school year, you have become like a pervert."

"If you don't turn the matches into needles quickly, you will be the only first-year wizard in Ravenclaw who has to write a paper today."

Sally Bourne reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and listened attentively to his classmates' explanation, but his heart had already flown to the silver-haired boy.

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore sat on the sofa, opposite the reserved Millicent and the people from the Auror Department.

"Why did Minister Millicent have the leisure to bring two Aurors to my office for tea today?"

The two Aurors standing behind Millicent received the task of acting as a 'background board' today. They just needed to stand behind the minister and did not need to speak.

Millicent stretched out her hand to pick up the candy on the table, but noticed Dumbledore's gaze just before she picked it up. She paused, changed the direction of her wrist, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the black tea with a lethal dose of sugar cubes in it.

After taking this bite, the nervous minister felt terrified.

He couldn't spit it out, and he felt sorry for swallowing it, so he held the taste in his mouth and it began to attack his brain again.

Millicent smiled bitterly in her heart, how could she not know that this thing was a warning from Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts would not allow anyone to hurt his students.

However, in order to make known the purpose of her visit, Millicent endured the discomfort in her throat and swallowed the cup of concentrated black tea-flavored syrup.

"Principal Dumbledore, I am here to look for Mr. Vinceau Lord. The Selwyn family has disappeared recently, but the Aurors in charge of the investigation have not found any clues. The one who has the deepest conflict with the Selwyn family recently is Vinceau Lord. We need to understand the situation with Mr. Vinceau Lord."

Dumbledore took a sip of the tea in his cup. "I have asked the students to inform Wen Xiu. He will come over after class. What's the matter? Mr. Millicent doesn't like tea? Would you like a glass of pumpkin juice?"

The glass jug of pumpkin juice on the coffee table floated in the air and swayed. The black tea in the cup in front of Millicent disappeared, and was replaced by a full cup of pumpkin juice with normal sweetness.
