From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Chapter 103 Cornelius Fudge's Good Day

Slumped in the large office chair in the office of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge yawned without any image.

His secretary went to make coffee for him, so he could relax a little in the highest authority of the British wizarding world.

However, when the secretary knocked on the door of the Minister of Magic's office, Cornelius Fudge immediately put on his usual deputy ministerial airs - amiable and approachable, which is how he attracted the trust of voters and won the position of Minister of Magic. Of course, his successful election was also inseparable from the small recommendation of Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century.

"Come in!" Cornelius Fudge raised his voice to make sure that the secretary outside the door could hear.

"Good morning, Mr. Minister." The secretary came to Cornelius Fudge personally with a tray of coffee without using magic.

Although the British Ministry of Magic is right below Whitehall, this institution is not filled with civil servants with various titles like its brothers, so that the Minister needs his direct secretary to personally handle a cup of coffee. However, this certainly does not mean that the British Ministry of Magic has no intention to expand its administrative institutions everywhere, but the number of wizards in the British magic world restricts its scale.

The most commendable achievement of Cornelius Fudge's life is to become the Minister of the British Ministry of Magic, so his favorite word is "British Minister of Magic", which consists of three parts. The former shows the territory, the latter shows the status, and the middle shows his importance.

"I am the most important person in the British magic world." Cornelius Fudge thought complacently. He no longer had the fear and uneasiness when he first took office as the Minister, but regarded the flattery from the surroundings as a true portrayal of himself.

Unfortunately, as the direct secretary of the Minister, the wizard who brought coffee to Cornelius Fudge did not seem to notice this. He always summarized Cornelius Fudge's identity with the simple word "minister", which made our amiable and approachable minister feel a little annoyed, so he always sent him to do something like serving tea and water.

"Ah... coffee is really a good thing." Cornelius Fudge moved his eyes to the latte art in the coffee cup. The secretary always showed unparalleled attentiveness in places he didn't care about very much, "... It can alleviate the honey wine hospitality I received yesterday at my Shafiq family manor."

The British Ministry of Magic has a small number of employees, which means that Cornelius Fudge always has the opportunity to attend some banquets that he has not been invited to before. Those pure-blood families are political animals, or in other words, they always find ways to connect themselves with the powerful people in the Ministry of Magic.

Although Cornelius Fudge himself is reluctant to admit it, a large part of the reason why voters support him is because of Dumbledore's recommendation letter. However, after staying in the position of minister for so long, the warm hospitality of the pure-blood family has long made him understand that he is "destined" and it is not the credit of the old man Dumbledore.

However, considering the reputation and wisdom of the white-bearded old man, it is not a big deal to occasionally listen to his advice. However, Cornelius Fudge felt that he still needed to find an opportunity to let Dumbledore understand that as the headmaster of Hogwarts and a subordinate institution of the Ministry of Magic, he should have his own sense of propriety.

"Those old-school wizard families always have countless good things." Cornelius Fudge decided to tell a joke to help his head get rid of Dumbledore, "and they don't have to sit in the office early in the morning like me to serve the people, especially they are also part of the people."

Although the secretary didn't understand what was funny about this sentence, he still cooperated with a fake laugh: "You are really humorous, Mr. Minister."

"Okay! That's it for the short break before work." Cornelius Fudge put down the coffee cup, "Tell me about my schedule today, I remember a store in Diagon Alley invited me to cut the ribbon?"

"Selwyn Boutique, yes, but it's next week." The secretary answered without confirming Cornelius Fudge's schedule. His job was unexpectedly outstanding.

"Oh! I thought it was today." Cornelius Fudge stared at the coffee cup for a while, then asked, "Is there any new report from the accidental magic reversal team?"

"As far as I know, no, Mr. Minister." The secretary replied.

"Where is the memory cancellation command?" Cornelius Fudge asked again.

"No."

"Then... the Muggle Mediation Committee?"

"It's always peaceful there, as always, Mr. Minister." The secretary explained, "The last time they were needed to fabricate a reasonable explanation to the Muggle community was when You-Know-Who fell. At that time, everyone took to the streets to celebrate."

"Great." Cornelius Fudge was not going to delve into an issue that he had not contributed much to. "What about the Invisible Task Force? Ah - you don't need to tell me, there must be nothing wrong with them! Just cover up the Loch Ness Monster, that's their job."

"You're right, Mr. Minister." The secretary nodded and asked kindly, "You seem to be very concerned about the work of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. Do you want me to write a note to ask about their situation?"

"What? Of course not!" Cornelius Fudge shook his head and refused, "If there is really a big problem, they will report it to me! As long as there is no problem with the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, it proves that the British wizarding world is peaceful!"

Facing Mr. Minister's expectation, the secretary clicked: "Yes, since the mysterious people fall, the British magic world has not gone up for more than ten years. "" ""

The smile in the corner of the mouth of Cornellfug's mouth disappeared quickly. He said to his secretary: "Go and see the law of the law. I heard that someone has always abused magic recently. "" "

"As you wish, Mr. Minister." The secretary turned out.

Old Batty Crouch was a competitor of the Minister of Magic, but because his son was a Death Eaters, he broke his political career. In the position of the Law Division, it is the largest department in the Ministry of Magic.

The secretary opened the door and came back again: "Mr. Minister, there is a new proposal here."

"Proposal? From the Legal Executive Division?" Cornelli Fuji asked.

"No, from the Division of the Magic Animal Management Control, it is a proposal about Hogwarts." The secretary quickly walked to the desk and put the paper documents on the table.

"Hogwarts!" Cornelli Fuji sat upright, "It is President Dumbledore's instructions ... I mean, do you mean?"

"No. I understand above, from the school's board of directors." The secretary pointed at the first two lines of the document.

"School Directors?" Cornelli Fuji leaned on his back again. He picked up the file and looked like "'about the use of Hogwarts's existing forbidden forest resources to build a magical animal breeding and breeding base, and training related to training related The draft plan of industrial talents' ... What does this mean? "

"It means that Hogwarts is going to use their magical biological resources in the forbidden forest?" The secretary carefully expressed his views.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"Of course I can see the meaning of the words!" The tone of Cornelli Fuji was a little harsh, but soon he noticed that it was inconsistent with his affectionate and approachable image, so he slowed down and said, "Mine Meaning, what kind of purpose is hidden behind those members of those school boards?

"Then you might as well ask Mr. Dumbledore's opinion." The secretary suggested, "Anyway, he is your good friend, and you will maintain frequent letters with you."

"Dumbledore ..." Cornellfou groaning for a moment, "He is indeed a humorous and wise old wizard, but I don't want to make myself look so ..."

Cornellfuki closed his mouth, and then said, "Be cautious."

"There is nothing bad for cautiousness." The secretary said sincerely, "At least it is better than making a wrong decision in an impulse."

Cornellfuki looked at his secretary in surprise, and he nodded for a while: "You are right! It's better to ask the Director of the Division of the Magic Animal Management Control Division to come here? Discuss this draft in person. "

"As you wish, Mr. Minister." The secretary owed himself and said respectfully.

But before the secretary got out of the Ministry of Magic Minister's office, he made a whisper again: "There is a visitor request, Mr. Minister?"

"Who? Dumbledore?" Cornelli Fuji immediately denied his views. "No, he never comes to see me from the Ministry of Magic, we all communicate with letters."

In fact, Fuji himself was unwilling to see Dumbledore in the Ministry of Magic, because it would make him feel that the entire building was given to him by the other party. Therefore, he usually avoids everyone's attention and go to President Hogwarts's office to meet Dumbledore in person, but in recent times, their meeting is not as frequent as he just took office.

"It is Mr. Lucius Malfoy." The secretary explained the name of the visitors.

"Oh? Why did the rich Malfoy suddenly visit? And suddenly found the Minister of Magic?" Cornelli Fuji did not understand. Although he has been entertained by many pure blood families recently, the Malfoy family is In addition to donating, he never invited him, just like they really care about business rather than politics.

"Will it be related to that draft?" The secretary reminded, "I remember he was a member of Hogwarts's school director."

"Then invite him to come in!" Cornellor Fuji took a hint of expectations, and he suddenly remembered that Dumbledore always did not deal with these pure blood families.
