Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 603: Become a minister, Professor

This meeting lasted for a long time, and it was not until evening that everyone left the Pig's Head Bar with heavy steps.

The sky gradually turned into a dark blue color, and only Kyle and Dumbledore were left in the bar at this time.

At this time, the boss who had been cleaning glasses behind the bar finally spoke, and this was the first time he spoke today, "It's time for you to leave, Dumbledore."

"For the sake of a large sum of galleons, Aberforth, could you please let me stay a little longer?" said Dumbledore, a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

Aberforth frowned, showing a look of disgust, but he didn't chase anyone away anymore.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Dumbledore said to Kyle: "Yes, you heard it right, Aberforth, he is mine..."

"Dumbledore!" came a cold voice, "If you continue talking, you will never set foot in my pub again."

Dumbledore wisely closed his mouth and changed the subject: "Kyle, do you know why I asked you to come?"

Kyle looked at Dumbledore and then at the gloomy shopkeeper next to him.

 He naturally knows the relationship between the two.

 …Aberforth Dumbledore, the most well-connected shopkeeper in Hogsmeade.

But since the two of them didn't want to talk about it, he just pretended that he didn't know and followed Dumbledore's words: "Let me tell them the truth about Voldemort's resurrection?"

"This is just one aspect." Dumbledore said calmly without any expression on his face: "Those who are here today, as well as the members of the Order of the Phoenix, are all trustworthy people. When the war starts, they will also will stand unwaveringly on our side.

 “I think you should know who they are.”

Kyle frowned. He always felt that something was wrong with Dumbledore today.

 Kyle actually didn't think this was necessary. After all, it was Dumbledore's job to keep in touch with them.

Also, it was a bit strange that he suddenly said Aberforth's name, as if he was deliberately revealing their relationship to himself.

Aberforth, who was not far away, also noticed this. He couldn't help but put down the cup in his hand and asked in the same disgusted tone:

 “What are your plans?”

"No, not really," Dumbledore denied, "but so far I have no plans."

"Really?" Aberforth sneered, obviously not believing it, "I thought you could control everything, ha, the great Dumbledore."

"You don't understand." Dumbledore's tone rose slightly. "In fact, I am not as perfect as you think. This is something I have only discovered recently. Sometimes, this child's ideas are more insightful than mine."

 “So I think it’s necessary for him to know that, that’s all.”

Aberforth glanced at Kyle subconsciously. This was the first time he had heard Dumbledore speak so highly of a person.

But he didn’t say anything.

 These are none of his business anyway. The most he can do is provide a venue, that's all, and it's for a fee.

"Then let's calculate the cost." Aberforth said in a businesslike manner. "Your people ordered a total of twelve bottles of cherry soda, eighteen bottles of pumpkin soda, nine pints of butterbeer, and others. All kinds of things, I’ll give you five hundred galleons, give me the money.”

The corners of Kyle's mouth twitched.

Hello guys, this is five hundred galleons? How did he calculate it? If he were at Three Broomsticks, the drinks he just ordered together would only be fifty galleons at most.

　　How come it has doubled ten times here? This is too dark, darker than Fred and George.

The things they sold to Ron could only be doubled at most.

"Oh, it's a good deal." Dumbledore took out a bag of gold coins and placed it on the counter without thinking.

Aberforth accepted the money, his expression finally improved, and he returned to the silent boss before, letting Dumbledore chatter beside him and paying no attention at all.

Kyle looked at them, especially Dumbledore, who seemed to have become a talkative one, and always felt that he was not telling the truth.

 At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

That time turner... Nicoléme's Philosopher's Stone is almost completed, or has been completed.

 Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help but frown... The time turner was undoubtedly very attractive to Dumbledore, but it was also very dangerous for the user. Did he want to use it at this time?

The more Kyle thought about it, the more likely it seemed, but at this moment, Dumbledore happened to walk over.

"Okay, we should go back." He said, "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Kyle quickly shook his head and made an excuse and said, "I just feel that everyone seemed to have overlooked a very important point in the meeting just now."

"What is it? Tell me." Dumbledore stopped and asked.

 Although this was a plan that he took more than a month to prepare, he still valued Kyle's opinion.

“Ministry of Magic,” Kyle said. “Everyone seems to be ignoring this.”

 “Ministry of Magic?” Dumbledore repeated in a low voice.

"Yes." Kyle said, "We have completely broken up with Fudge, and he is also madly slandering anyone who believes in Voldemort's resurrection, especially the professor yourself..."

"Ah, yes." Dumbledore nodded and admitted, "I did have a big fight with him."

"That's the problem." Kyle continued: "If we let it go, the Ministry of Magic is likely to hold us back. We can't deal with Voldemort at the same time as the Ministry of Magic makes things difficult for us. It's a waste of time. ”

Dumbledore was silent for a moment and then said: "I will handle this matter. I will go and talk to Cornelius."

 “With all due respect, Professor.” Kyle said unceremoniously:

“Fudge originally went to Hovogett twice a day because he was worried that someone would threaten his position. Only in this way could he get more support.

“But it’s no longer two years ago, especially after Barty Crouch was transferred to the irrelevant Department of Magical Transport, and no one can threaten his status.

“So, if you still want to deal with Fudge in the same way as before, you may be disappointed.”

"Ha..." Aberforth, who was not far away, suddenly sneered sarcastically, "The great Dumbledore actually needs a child to remind him of such a simple matter."

 But Dumbledore ignored him, just looked at Kyle and asked: "Tell me what you think."

"It's very simple. Fudge's attitude is the most critical point." Kyle shrugged. "It would be best if he is willing to listen, even if he just doesn't make trouble. If he is not willing... I think it is not a bad idea to change to another minister."

"No..." Dumbledore blurted out: "Suddenly changing the Minister of Magic will cause unnecessary panic. This is exactly what Voldemort wants to see. We can't do this."

"But it's better than him always causing trouble behind the scenes." Kyle continued: "We are preparing to fight against the Death Eaters in the front, but the Ministry of Magic, which is supposed to be the backing, is constantly disrupting us and inciting more people to slander us. , this is what Voldemort really wants to see."

“No, it’s still not possible.” Dumbledore insisted, “I know it must have been the events of the past few days that gave you this idea, but Fudge is still the Minister of Magic, and nothing can happen to him.

"If we really do this and get rid of Fudge just to make it convenient for ourselves, what's the difference between it and Voldemort's Death Eaters."

"Pedantic idiot." Aberforth sneered again, and the sarcasm was more obvious. "It seems that you are really old, and your mind is not even as clear as a child's."

Dumbledore still ignored him and just looked at Kyle with burning eyes.

 “Promise me you won’t have such thoughts again.”

"Well, okay." Kyle said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's not impossible not to change the Minister of Magic. I have another way, which may be able to change Fudge's attitude."

 “How?” Dumbledore asked with interest.

"Before that, I have to say something." Kyle said: "This method may slightly affect your reputation, Professor. I still recommend changing the Minister of Magic."

"No, it doesn't matter." Dumbledore insisted: "Just say it, as long as you no longer want to get rid of Fudge, I will fully cooperate with you."

"Well." Kyle looked up at him and said word by word: "Go and compete for the minister, professor."

 “What?” Dumbledore didn’t react for a moment.

"Of course, I don't really want to be the Minister of Magic." Kyle said, "Just pretending to be the Minister of Magic and letting out a little signal to the outside world."
