From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

"Idiot. And a complete idiot." Director Nott was certainly not stupid enough to say this like Fudge did. He couldn't figure out what Fudge was up to. Although he expressed his willingness to fight against Dumbledore, he was like a coward and hesitated in the end. In the end, he just ambiguously let the half-blood giant accept the investigation of the Ministry of Magic.

"Does this have any impact on Dumbledore himself?" Director Nott is a typical pure-blood wizard, but he has always been the most traditional one, standing only with the winner, so he never easily stands on the side, which is why he saved his family's position in the wizard war provoked by Voldemort, and even went a step further to become the director.

Generally speaking, pure-blood wizard families will control the power departments related to their family industries. Since the end of the wizard war, the Nott family has been trying to intervene in the material trade of magical animals. Although he became the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, the Nott family could only act as middlemen in an awkward way, reselling magical creature materials shipped from America, or controlling the circulation of certain foreign goods to cause their prices to rise, and then making a small profit.

Lucius Malfoy's letter made him see the possibility of truly intervening in the trade of large-scale magical creatures, so he was so anxious to be a pawn. The Board of Directors is the representative of Hogwarts, and the Nott family is of course the representative of the Ministry of Magic. They can not only use this to disrupt the current situation of the trade in magical creature materials in the British wizarding world and make everything a mess, but also take the opportunity to integrate all the scattered sales channels together.

Although it still takes time to accumulate, at least Director Nott sees hope. He believes that in the near future, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures will become a new business card of the Nott family, and will no longer just be the compiler of the Pure-Blood List. Once this department with both financial resources and power fell into the hands of Director Nott, he decided to swallow it completely.

"Malfoy... What does Malfoy think of this?" Director Nott glanced at Lucius, only to find that he was staring at Dumbledore with interest, as if it was a rare pleasure to see him embarrassed.

"I really don't understand how that arrogant and arrogant Malfoy came up with such a good idea..." Everyone says that the Dark Lord is terrible, but Director Nott thinks that the White Lord is even better.

Not only did he defeat Grindelwald, the leader of the Witch Party that swept across the European continent, but he also maintained a good reputation for so many years and had a great influence in the international wizarding world. He is just like a living saint without any personal shortcomings.

Director Nott does not believe that there are living saints in the world, so Dumbledore, who can disguise himself so perfectly, is much more terrible than Voldemort. At least Voldemort only uses fear to rule others, while Dumbledore uses people's respect, as if the contributions made by his followers to him are all from the heart. And according to what Director Nott knows, the so-called Order of the Phoenix is ​​an unpaid wizard association. They do not use each other's connections to expand their influence, grab fame or power, but are willing to dedicate themselves to the magic world like a fool.

But thanks to the self-sacrifice of these fools, people like Director Nott can sit in a high position and overlook the world. In this way, it may be acceptable for the Minister of Magic to be a fool?

Only if a fool like Fudge stays in that position can the Nott family remain hidden while making a lot of money. After all, fools will always unconsciously attract other people's attention. As long as everyone looks at the fool, then a smart person like Director Nott can keep a low profile.

"Cornelly," Dumbledore said slowly, "I will not allow that to happen."

Fudge looked very embarrassed. He glanced at Dolores Umbridge, but the latter was obviously in a trance and turned a blind eye to the dilemma of her minister.

Fudge looked at Director Nott again. The latter thought for a moment and decided to help him cover up the past, on the one hand to win the trust of this fool, and on the other hand to promote the construction of the magical animal breeding and breeding base as soon as possible.

"Then you just need to prove that Mr. Hagrid is innocent." Director Nott said politely, "I believe this is not a difficult task for you, and I don't think the Acromanthus is the monster in the Chamber of Secrets."

"I will not allow Hagrid to go to the Ministry of Magic for investigation." Dumbledore once again explained his position.

"Then let him be investigated at Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic can set up a secret chamber investigation team. It would be best if this unsolved case from fifty years ago could be completely resolved and Mr. Hagrid could be cleared of all charges." Director Nott immediately replied, "It will take some time to build a breeding base for magical animals anyway. If he is lucky, Mr. Hagrid might be able to catch up with the base to receive the first batch of magical animals."

"Yes! That's right!" Fudge said quickly, and then looked at Dumbledore expectantly, "The 'Secret Chamber Investigation Team' is a really good idea!"

The anger in Dumbledore's eyes disappeared. After thinking for a while, he said, "If the Ministry of Magic's investigation team fails to prove that there is a necessary connection between Hagrid and the secret chamber before the breeding base for magical animals is built, then he is innocent."

"When..." Fudge blurted out, but was interrupted by Director Nott.

"That depends on the opinions of colleagues and judges in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Director Nott's face was calm, "You know, after all, I am just an official of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and I am really not familiar with that business."

Hearing the words "Secret Chamber Investigation Team", Ivy immediately looked at Director Nott, but unfortunately his eye spell expertise can only be used twice a day, and he has just used the second suggestion spell on Umbridge. Provoking her relationship with Fudge and thus undermining her career is just a prelude. Ivy will soon let her know what the real horror is. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, Ivy has plenty of ways to kill her without anyone noticing. But that would obviously be too easy for her.

Fortunately, the secret chamber built by Slytherin is a hidden place enough that only Voldemort has discovered it for so many years. Otherwise, Ivy, who has already regarded the secret chamber as his own, would have made some radical moves.

"Speaking of the present, since the Minister has agreed to the project planning of the magical animal breeding and breeding base, the Ministry of Magic will start the engineering evaluation." Director Nott looked at Dumbledore and Lucius in turn, "The principal and the board representative must have no objection, because this project was originally proposed by Hogwarts."

Both nodded.
