Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Murphy took off the invisibility cloak from Barty Crouch Jr. and casually applied a petrification spell on him - the normal version.

Then, he helped Barty Crouch Sr. up and sat him on a chair, and then personally patted him for the footprints he had kicked on his body.

A friendly smile appeared on Murphy's face, as if he was not the one who just beat up the old man across from him.

"Mr. Barty Crouch, the Ministry of Magic is going to change its leadership this year. Do you want to be the Minister?"

"What?!"

Old Batty was stunned.

He originally thought that Murphy was going to make some humiliating request, but when he opened his mouth, it turned out to be this?

"Why?"

And, “How is that possible?”

His reputation has now hit rock bottom. Let alone becoming a minister, he can no longer even keep his position.

Murphy looked down at him, "Since I can let you fall down, I can also let you climb up."

"..."

These words were spoken by a young man in his twenties. If it had been anyone else, Old Barty would have just sneered at him, but at this moment when he had actually learned the opponent's methods and was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back, he knew , the other party did not exaggerate at all.

Involuntarily, a sense of expectation quietly arose in his heart.

Maybe, I can really touch that spot?

"What, how to do it?"

"First, get rid of that bullshit arrest warrant for me immediately."

"Second, go apologize to me."

"But……"

Old Barty hesitated, not that he was hesitating whether to cancel the wanted order. Since he had been completely defeated at this moment, the wanted order would be canceled no matter what. When he pulled Murphy's leg just now, he had already known that this would happen. the result of.

But if you apologize, isn't that just admitting that you were wrong?

At this time, if you admit your problems again, won't you be criticized by thousands of people?

Could it be that Murphy was just deceiving him?

"Huh," Murphy rolled his eyes. He didn't need Legilimency to know what the other person was thinking, "What the hell is going on right now? Don't you have a clue?"

"If I want to kill you, do I still need to waste my time here with you? Do you believe that early tomorrow morning, letters of impeachment will fill Minister Millicent's mailbox?"

Barty Crouch was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

Yes, and now Murphy only needs to take away Barty Crouch Jr., and he will go to trial tomorrow, and he can have Azkaban special lunch the day after tomorrow.

If Murphy wanted to destroy himself, there was really no need to waste any more time with him.

"I understand and I will apologize."

Murphy nodded, "Not only to me, but also to Sirius, and to the injured Auror, and to you for not handling the werewolf problem well before."

"This is...good."

Murphy didn't mean to humiliate him. He explained: "Auror's reputation is now hopeless. It has reached a point where it cannot be destroyed or established. At this time, if you are stubborn, you will only be overwhelmed by public opinion."

"However, if you stand up, leave the problem to the evils left by history, and then propose solutions, you can still hope to restore your own reputation."

"The core is to separate you from the Aurors."

"In other words, push out a scapegoat."

"Gadevin Robards is a fool, let him take all the blame."

Barty Crouch nodded. He had done this before during the Anonymous Crisis. However, this time just relying on a scapegoat might not be enough.

He asked this question.

Murphy said: "Gadevin Robards is just a reckoning with historical problems, but how to solve the problem is what people want to see, so you must come up with strong reform plans and actions."

"First, reduce the power of Aurors." Murphy said, "The Wizarding War is over, and there is no need for Aurors to exist. Excessive power will only cause people to panic. Therefore, it is imperative to reduce the power of Aurors. OK."

"There are no Death Eaters outside now. How can there be so many dark wizards for Aurors to arrest? And isn't the Law Enforcement Team always very busy and not enough manpower?"

"Let Aurors do some serious law enforcement work, or help with disaster response, let them interact more with ordinary people, and stop being so arrogant all the time."

"What do you think?"

Barty Crouch understood that as long as he nodded, from now on, the Auror profession might exist in name only.

Chasing dark wizards is not a job that can be done just from 9 to 5. If you are bound by too many rules and regulations, you will not be able to deal with those cunning dark wizards.

But doing so may indeed help stabilize public opinion and increase his chances of winning.

"I think...it's okay."

Murphy looked at him with a smile, "Very good."

"Second, introduce a supervision mechanism."

"Unsupervised power breeds corruption." Murphy said, "Introduce a third-party supervisory agency to supervise the work of Aurors and legal enforcement teams."

Barty Crouch was a little confused, "What are you going to do?"

"The Wizengamot must be completely separated from the Legal Enforcement Department, and then the Watchers should be included in the system as a subordinate executive agency of the Wizengamot to review the performance of the Legal Enforcement Department."

Barty Crouch was stunned for a while, and then he understood. He looked at the young man in front of him in awe, "So, who will lead the Watchers?"

"The Watcher should be an independent and autonomous organization that is responsible to all wizards in the UK. Its leader is of course elected by the Watchers themselves."

"But as a subsidiary agency of the Wizengamot, its supervision results will be directly submitted to the Wizengamot trial, which can not only ensure independence but also have legitimacy."

It is said that the Watchers are elected by themselves. Will the Watchers recommend anyone else besides you?

Even if it's not you, it must be your puppet.

With this organization, Aurors and the Department of Legal Enforcement will be named Mo from now on.

"Okay, is there any more?"

If you can become the Minister of Magic, the name of the Department of Law Enforcement is none of your business.

However, what he didn't know was that Murphy didn't intend for the Watchmen's supervisory powers to stop at the Legal Enforcement Division.

Since we can supervise the Law Enforcement Department, why can’t we supervise other departments?

And when the Watchers can supervise all departments and members of the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic will become a horse tied by the reins of the Watcher.

But in order to complete this step, he needs a Minister of Magic to implement it.

And Barty Sr., who has absolute control over Barty Crouch Jr., is the most suitable candidate.

"Third, you need to produce some actual results immediately to prove the effectiveness of the reform plan."

"It just so happens that I have a list of several Death Eaters here. Catch them and I will make them talk."

Murphy said, handing over a piece of paper, which read: "Brothers and sisters Carlo, Yaxley, Avery..."

Behind the scenes of the werewolf attack, these Death Eaters were probably involved.

Since you're looking for someone to take action, why not look for your own enemies?
