The Necromancer of Hogwarts

Xiang Yu and Lucius went to interview the school board members one by one. Under Dumbledore's intimidation, almost no one dared to refuse forcefully.

Especially after Xiang Yu revealed that Voldemort was dead, the school board members who learned the news became even more horrified.

After Voldemort died, the wizarding world lost its only check and balance on Dumbledore. Even if Dumbledore wanted to do something, it would be difficult for them to resist.

In the past, Dumbledore still had a layer of benevolence and morality, and he did not go too far in terms of power. But today, Dumbledore's behavior was beyond their comprehension.

Sizing up the situation has always been a specialty of these pure-blood nobles. In the face of the menacing Dumbledore, almost all members of the school board wisely gave in.

But such things cannot be hidden from the outside world. The wizarding world learned of Dumbledore's actions immediately, and then the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, suddenly fell into uneasiness.

Dumbledore, this old guy, finally couldn't hold himself back any longer.

Since he became the Minister of Magic, the person he feared most was not Voldemort, but Dumbledore.

The greatest white wizard in history has strength, fame and status. As long as he is willing, his position as Minister of Magic will be in jeopardy at any time.

I have been wary of him. The old guy has been pretending to be indifferent before, but now, the fox's tail is about to be exposed.

Fudge angrily asked his subordinates to instruct the Daily Prophet to publish an article criticizing Dumbledore's behavior, bringing the topic to Dumbledore's uncontrollable power.

"In the past year, many things have happened at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore, the principal, cannot absolve himself of the blame."

"The Ministry of Magic has given Dumbledore the utmost respect, allowing him to devote himself to handling the affairs of Hogwarts, but now Dumbledore has begun to expel members of the school board without giving an explanation for these matters."

"Know that every member of the Hogwarts Board of Governors has a long history. They have been trustees of Hogwarts for hundreds of years, providing financial support for Hogwarts, and now they have been kicked out. Outside. Dumbledore’s ambition has been clearly revealed, and he wants to completely control the school of Hogwarts.”

"If he succeeds, then Hogwarts will no longer be the Hogwarts of the British wizarding world, but Dumbledore's Hogwarts alone."

"The Ministry of Magic stated that it will never tolerate this kind of behavior. At the same time, it also warned Dumbledore about his irresistible power and not to ruin his reputation in his old age. Dumbledore, please don't say it unpredictably."

The Daily Prophet sent news to Lucius, the financial backer's father.

After all, it was an official agency. The Ministry of Magic wanted to publish an article, and they couldn't refuse. They had to publish this article, so they could only inform Lucius and the others in advance, hoping that the sponsor's father would be prepared.

This article from the Ministry of Magic criticizes Dumbledore at every turn, attacks Dumbledore's power, and mocks Dumbledore for his past talk of benevolence and morality, but in the end he is still chasing power, and Hogwarts is just his stepping stone.

But what he said was all the truth. He used to be so noble and free of desires, but now he suddenly stops pretending. This will indeed arouse people's discussion.

Lucius frowned when he saw this article and asked Xiang Yu, "If this article is published, it may be a bit disadvantageous for us."

"How about telling me that you killed Voldemort, so that things will develop in our favor in an instant."

Xiang Yu's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, let the people from the Ministry of Magic dance for a while first."

"There is still the last member left on the school board, right? The Crouch family, haha."

Lucius's face showed worry: "I'm afraid the Crouch family may have some difficulties."

"Barty Crouch is the director of the Department of Magical International Affairs, which is not a particularly powerful department. But his political identity is quite special. When Voldemort was rampant, he was the one who firmly proposed to use tough measures to deal with Voldemort. , Never compromise with Voldemort."

"This time he has tasted the sweetness of speaking out and gained a lot of support from the people. If nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to become the Minister of Magic after the war."

"It was only later that a scandal broke out and his son participated in the Death Eaters, which caused his reputation to plummet. Although he sent his son directly to Azkaban and restored some reputation, due to this scandal, he still He has completely withdrawn from the competition for Minister of Magic and can only be transferred to the Department of Magical International Affairs."

"This is a man who will do anything for power. What I'm worried about is that he will make a public statement rejecting your request. After all, he has tasted the sweetness of doing so. If he can suppress your reputation, then the next man's magic It is not impossible for him to compete for the position of minister."

"After so many years, the scandal he had back then should be dispelled."

Xiang Yu smiled.

Of course he knew who Barty Crouch was.

Lucius was right, this was indeed a man who would do anything for power, a veteran in politics.

But there are times when old youtiao are confused.

After he sent his son to Azkaban, his wife became seriously ill and made a request to him before she died.

Then Barty Crouch took advantage of his position to enter Azkaban to visit his son. In fact, he disguised his seriously ill wife as his son and saved Barty Crouch from Azkaban. come out

What was a moment of impatience back then is now Crouch's Achilles' heel.

No, it's not just Crouch.

If this explosive scandal breaks out, anything the Ministry of Magic can say will be nothing more than farts.

The son of a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic was put into Azkaban, and he could be released in this way. But for ordinary people, if they enter Azkaban, they can only wait to die.

If it were you, would you still believe what the Ministry of Magic says?

A thousand-mile dike breaks in an ant nest. A small incident can shatter a government's credibility.

But this is exactly what Xiang Yu wants to see.

"Let's go. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, I have to go to his house."

"As for Mr. Crouch's dream of being the Minister of Magic, he will never have a chance in this life."

Xiang Yu sneered and apparated together with Lucius.

Snapped

With an explosion, Xiang Yu and Lucius appeared outside Crouch's residence.

As soon as they appeared, bursts of flash lights came on. The reporters were already waiting for Dumbledore to arrive.

When they saw Xiang Yu's disguise as Dumbledore, the reporters were like sharks smelling blood, and they rushed to interview Xiang Yu.

"Dumbledore, are the rumors true? You have always been unwilling to be the Minister of Magic. Is this an act of seeking fame?"

"How do you explain what you are doing now, which is to get rid of all the members of the school board and take over the power of Hogwarts by yourself?"

"Dumbledore, are you going to turn Hogwarts into a private school? Will Hogwarts raise tuition fees in the future? Have you ever thought about the impact this will have on those poor students? Or do you think you haven't at all?" Ever cared about this”

A series of malicious questions were thrown at him.

Xiang Yu sneered, not liking these reporters at all.

There was also a reporter from the Daily Prophet, the Rita Skeeter from the original novel, who almost brought the shorthand quill to Xiang Yu's mouth.

"You guys, don't always think about making a big news. I haven't seen any battles in these years. These questions you ask are very ignorant, and your intentions are obvious."

"I've seen this thing from you reporters a lot, naive"

Xiang Yu walked forward, and these reporters involuntarily made way for Xiang Yu.

"Okay, let's talk to Mr. Barty Crouch."

At this time, Barty Crouch's door opened.

He came out wearing the formal attire of the wizarding world.

"No, Dumbledore."

"I refuse your request. I will not give up the Crouch family's position on the Hogwarts School Board. But this is not for myself, but for the entire British wizarding community."

"I will not let Hogwarts become a tool for you to play with power, nothing more. As for the Crouch family's power over Hogwarts, I will donate it and establish a third-party public organization to transfer this power Dedicated to the general public in the wizarding world."

The sound of the flashing lights rang out neatly, and a dazzling white light encompassed Barty Crouch and Xiang Yu.

Big news, here it is.
