Hogwarts Archmage

After seeing Comptin, time seemed to be accelerating, and the Christmas vacation was over soon.

On their first day back at school, the students got the good news that the school had arranged a ten-day trip for them.

After discussions with senior academic officials, they did not simply throw the students directly into the potion garden. Instead, they arranged a number of safe places, ending with the Rose Manor.

Although it was essentially a shelter from the limelight, the professors treated the event as a serious teaching activity.

The sponsorship that Marn originally planned to provide has also been confiscated here. Hogsmeade is now full of people. Although Ryan has obtained the land use rights here, he still has to pay rent. This part of Hogwart alone is Ci has made a lot of money.

But this guy is not a good guy either. In order to repay the annual rent, he began to collect taxes from the wizards that no one has ever paid since ancient times.

Of course, the name is nicer. What is the city management fee? Calculated in terms of net income, the ratio is very low, but it can’t stand up to the fact that there are too many people here. In addition to the expenses, there is still a lot left over every year.

Ryan was not short of money either. He charged management fees simply because he didn’t want to pay for it himself. Apart from using the remaining money to hire some cleaning staff, he gave the rest to Sirius, asking him to help transfer it to the magic. department.

As a businessman, he is always well-informed. He knows that the Ministry of Magic is about to move here.

Nowadays, the Ministry of Magic can no longer be simply divided by country. Almost half of the wizards in Europe are here now, and there are also some people who came from other places. As for their original countries... there is only one official left. There are a few people inside who serve as clerks.

But this is of no use. Before the Ministry of Magic moved here, they were still a large but ineffective organization. No one paid attention to them. When senior officials of the Ministry of Magic came to handle matters, it was better than Sirius shouting on the street. voice.

In other words, after Sirius has experienced so many years of suffering, his desire for power is very low. No one knows what will happen if he changes to another person.

But this is probably the reason why Old Walder can trust him with such an important place... Although this matter is actually quite annoying to Sirius himself, he wants to do something every now and then.

Ron had already confirmed that he would not travel with him, and Harry actually wanted to stay with him, but Ginny pulled him away and asked him not to interfere with other people's world.

Everything was ready, and on the second day after the "Hogwarts Tour" set off, Old Wald arrived here with his people.

He brought more than 3000 people, plus Sirius's more than 3000 people here, a total of more than 6000 wizards who are good at fighting, gathered together, and most importantly, almost all the top leaders of the revolutionary army They all gathered here.

These people quickly divided into small groups and formed circles about 50 meters away around the Black Lake.These people pointed their wands at the ground at the same time, driving the magic to slowly cut the Black Lake from the ground.

After a long period of guessing yesterday, Ma En had already guessed that what was under his nose was in the Black Lake. He looked at these fanatical guys with some confusion.

"How come these people don't seem to be here to fight, but rather to participate in some cult activity?"

The person he asked was Margaery, but Margaery didn't speak, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"What's wrong with you, Margery?" Ma En asked a little worried.

Margery still didn't say anything, but Esther said indifferently: "Dear, do you think how many of these senior staff will be left in another year?"

"Not a few will die... I'm still here, and everyone looks pretty strong."

Ma En didn't quite understand, but he still expressed his thoughts.

Esther shook his head: "It's not about how many people will die here, but something else..."

She stretched out her hand and pointed at the people standing with Old Wald in the distance one by one and said: "Look, careerists, careerists, careerists, warriors with pure intentions and no brains, sad people with pure intentions who realize something is wrong, just want to People who live a good life are careerists, careerists, and careerists."

"This…"

Marn realized something.

"Victory is imminent...at least that's how it seems in the wizarding world. Some of them can't wait to get a share of the pie...Marn, if I were you, I would simply let go and let these people die, and then Deal with Voldemort and it will be morally and morally acceptable."

Ma En looked at these people whose temperament was gradually changing and sighed: "I still remember the first time we went to the Revolutionary Army headquarters. Everyone at that time was really completely different from what we are now..."

"People will always change. Sometimes you want to continue enjoying the benefits of certain privileges once in a while, let alone this kind of pure and obvious power."

"Forget it, we don't have much else to do. We can't watch them being killed by Voldemort."

"Too."

Margaery, who had been silent for a long time, finally took a look at all these people and breathed out a sigh of relief: "Glan still wants to give them a chance, if not..."

She didn't say the rest of the words. Ma En said directly: "Great purge? But so many people... It seems that no matter what organization it is, internal affairs are always difficult to handle."

Margaery shook her head: "Marn, take a closer look at Sirius's men and see if they are different in terms of personal and overall quality."

Ma En made a slight comparison and found that there was indeed a big difference. These patrols obviously looked stronger and were in better mental condition.

"You mean, this is Old Walder's back-up plan?"

Margery nodded: "I didn't understand before that it was a waste to let such an elite wizard take a group of newly graduated students out to patrol the streets. But now I understand it. This is one of Gran's trump cards."

"But not the biggest one." Ma En shrugged.

"When it comes to internal matters, Gran doesn't want you to take action if possible. If this happens over time, it will lead to a disagreement. This is not a good thing, and he doesn't like it either."

"Okay... Speaking of which... Margaery, have you read Old Walder's thoughts again?"

Margery spread her hands and said, "It was just an accidental injury. He asked me to see the mental state of these people, but he ran so close to them... You can't blame me for this."

"Ok."

Hermione, standing next to Esther, suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Esther asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, I just think the adult world is really complicated."
