The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

The Dark Mark created by Barty Crouch Jr. at his own home successfully turned his father, Mr. Barty Crouch Sr., into a big joke.

This sorcerer who was still talking eloquently and righteously made remarks similar to 'hiding Death Eaters among the nobles poses a great threat to the social stability of the wizarding world', but his home has become a place where Death Eaters are harbored. stronghold.

The reporters of the Daily Prophet swarmed like mosquitoes at the sight of blood, and the Crouch family was surrounded by water.

Old Barty Crouch hurried home from the Ministry of Magic. His face was pale and bloodless, and he seemed to be 20 years older. Standing in front of everyone, he abandoned his previous pride for the first time, and used an almost In a humble tone, I beg everyone to give him a little time.

Ten minutes later, he handed over his son, Barty Crouch Jr., with his own hands.

Then, Barty Crouch Jr. was imprisoned in Azkaban Prison.

Although his actions were decisive, they still did not help.

<The Biggest Scandal of the Ministry of Magic—The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Harbors Death Eaters>, <Is it the power of fatherly love, or the pleasing of hypocrites? >, <Lied Life of Old Barty Crouch>, <Father Arrests Son, Big Showdown Between Blood Relatives and Fathers>……

Newspaper headlines like these became popular in the entire British wizarding world in an instant.

Whether it's the Slytherin nobles who took the opportunity to make trouble, or the Gryffindor-born wizards rebounding violently after feeling cheated... In short, old Barty Crouch's life took a sharp turn for the worse.

On the first day of the second week of June, less than two days before the incident happened, Barty Crouch Sr. finally overwhelmed and publicly apologized to the public: "...I am deeply sorry for this, and I am willing to bear the responsibilities I should pay, but... I am just a heartbroken father..."

The old Batty, who has always followed a cold and hard style, really deserves to be a pure-blooded nobleman.

When he appeared in front of the cameras of the reporters with a distraught face and distraught, and explained his feelings about harboring a 'Death Eater' son from a father's point of view, countless soft-hearted wizards felt that they could be forgiven... Especially, he He had sent his son to prison with his own hands, which added a lot of sadness to him.

This saved a little bit of his declining popularity, but it was not enough.

At this moment, Cornelius Fudge stepped forward.

The pudgy wizard once again showed a fake, but kind-looking official smile.

He was born in an ordinary wizarding family, his personal political inclination has never been obvious, and his attitude is mediocre and impartial.Before 'Barty Crouch Sr. was harboring Death Eaters', he was hardly competitive.

But after Barty Crouch was caught in a scandal and Principal Dumbledore refused, his position became important and unique.

Moreover, this "important and only gentleman" actually stood up and said sincerely to the wizards in such a chaotic situation: "Please forgive Batty, everyone commits crimes, not to mention that this kind of legal principle is incompatible." Maybe a law enforcement officer is not worthy of forgiveness, but a father can. The relationship between father and son is the most sacred and sincere emotion in the world. For the love of Barty Sr., I ask everyone to forgive a father momentarily confused..."

His speech was very successful, and some little witches who were easily moved were rolled in their eyes by what he said.

Even for this reason, old Barty Crouch will have to suppress his nausea. Knowing that Fudge is making a political show, he has no choice but to stand up in embarrassment and pain, and express his gratitude and gratitude to Fudge with difficulty.

The front page of that issue of the "Daily Prophet" used such a photo of 'Fudge and Barty in a true embrace'.

To be honest, many Slytherin-born nobles who knew the inside story were disgusted enough.

In an instant, a competitive drama turned into a situation where the two candidates understood each other, enjoyed each other, and 'we are all good friends'.

I have to say that the career of a politician is sometimes unbearable.

They have never had any principles or positions to talk about, and everything they do is just to align with their interests.

But most of the ignorant people can't see through the trick.

They immediately thought 'Merlin, Mr. Fudge is really a noble gentleman. '

Forgive a friend who has misunderstood a little, perhaps everyone can do it; but forgive a competitor-rivals who have been hostile to each other-only those who have a big heart and a good heart can do it.

"Perhaps it would be a good thing to have Fudge ministered."

A Hufflepuff witch said: "The wizarding world is in a mess right now, I really don't want to see wars anymore, I just want to grow my herbs well... by the way, the crab claw is dead The question is, besides watering more, is there any other way to treat it?"

"We misunderstood him earlier."

The Gryffindor-born wizards also said: "We always laugh at Fudge, saying that he is as weak as a bitch. But he is really very brave in the case of Old Barty... After Old Barty was taken by everyone He has the courage to stand up and say something for his opponent when he's pointing fingers... well, he's earned our respect."

On the second week and the third day of June, in the "Daily Prophet" poll about the Minister of Magic, Fudge's support rate soared suddenly, and nearly two-thirds of the wizards in the wizarding world said that they were "very willing to accept Fudge." leadership'.

On the fourth day, there was no longer any doubt about the candidate for the post of Minister of Magic.

Everyone knew it: this dumpy, featureless-looking mediocre wizard was about to become the supreme leader of the British wizarding community - the Minister of Magic.

From now on, we'll be calling him Minister Fudge.

On the day Fudge was officially elected minister.

In the Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy raised his glass and gave Daniel Black a meaningful smile, "Should we clink glasses now? Let's celebrate?"

Daniel happily granted his wish.

"Regard Barty Crouch!" Daniel said happily.

"To little Barty Crouch!" Lucius replied with the same words.

The two smiled at each other.

"Old Barty Crouch is really stupid sometimes." Lucius commented casually, "If I were him, I would never hide Jr. Barty Crouch at home. If it was hidden outside, Anyway, there is an excuse of 'not knowing' that can be shirked."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place! In fact, I suspect that old Batty has been so resolute against the nobles, maybe he wants to express his innocence, so as to protect his criminal son."

Daniel thought about it and said, "Actually, if we hadn't caused this incident, who would have thought that such a 'fighter' would harbor criminals."

"He's delusional. Little Barty is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He will stay at home obediently and do nothing."

Lucius sneered and said, "Sooner or later, little Barty will make trouble, but it will be sooner or later. But this time, we will help him and let the matter break out earlier."

"The timing is right." Daniel applauded, and raised his glass slightly again, "But anyway, it's worth celebrating that things went so smoothly."

He thought for a while, and said abruptly, "Lucius, do you have any plans for the future?"

"What?" Lucius looked up, his blue eyes looked suspiciously at this distant wife and brother who was getting more and more confusing to him, "What are you planning? The last time you mortgaged your ancestral property for a loan, Your sister Narcissa is already so angry that she doesn't want to see you again. And, don't think I don't know about the little deal you and Fudge made in private..."

He said with a little headache, "As far as I know, your acquisition plan of Diagon Alley has a success rate of nine out of ten. It is really a big project that costs money... At this critical moment, you want to toss what?"

Daniel didn't care at all about being exposed by Lucius' "his and Fudge's little secret", but smiled very proudly, "Of course Fudge will help me. For me, it is to make money; for him, it is political achievements."

"As for what else I want to trouble about... my dear brother-in-law."

He held up two fingers and said solemnly: "First, I am the only male in the Black family. I feel a little bit hard, and I need help..."

"Shall I introduce you to a lady?" Malfoy interjected, "In ten or twenty years, you'll have a lot of helpers." He muttered slightly jealously, "Seriously, the Black family's breeding The ability is second only to the pure-blood rebellion against the Weasleys."

"How dare you make such a joke..." Daniel laughed horribly.

He was surprised at the same time and yelled embarrassingly, "Please, Lucius, don't be joking. I can't wait for more than ten or twenty years. Please don't interrupt... I have to say the second point."

Lucius noticed that the bases of his ears were flushed, and his fair complexion couldn't hide the thin layer of blush on his cheeks, so he couldn't help thinking amusedly: 'So shy?Is it still a place? '

This wizard who didn't have much integrity before marriage, and could even be said to have been romantic for a while, suddenly lost his mind with interest.

He even began to ponder: should he take this brother-in-law out to meet the 'big' world?

"Second point, as the saying goes, weed out the roots. I think I can add fire to old Barty Crouch, at least, I don't want him to stay in the position of Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Go." Daniel couldn't guess his brother-in-law's thoughtful thoughts at all, and he was still explaining solemnly, "...If these two points don't conflict with your plan, then I will follow my own ideas. gone."

"I don't have any plans in the near future, you can just let it go." Lucius Malfoy replied directly.

After getting along with each other for a while, he has already recognized some of the abilities of the current Patriarch of Black, and when they get along with each other, they get a lot closer.

Of course, some of Daniel's plans are still impulsive and risky in his opinion.

But from the standpoint of Patriarch Malfoy, he doesn't think he is qualified to manage the affairs of the Black family.

Moreover, the other party is currently barely qualified as an ally, which is enough, and he doesn't want to intervene too much to make people annoying.

In fact, this old-fashioned pure-blooded nobleman was also secretly watching with cold eyes, trying to see: How far can Daniel go?

You know, not long ago, this guy was talking nonsense in front of me, saying 'If one road doesn't work, change to another road'...

Then, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and quickly guessed what Daniel meant.

Think about the existing men of the Black family, and think about who can get involved with Barty Crouch...

only one person.

Lucius frowned, and asked disapprovingly, "Don't tell me, the future helper you figured out is Sirius?"
