Chapter 914 Anyone Can Be Minister of Magic Except Dumbledore
Ministry of Magic, England.

Now the entire Ministry of Magic is in chaos. It is crowded with people everywhere. Wizards, families of the victims, and reporters have surrounded the place.

But apart from the Aurors who were maintaining order, none of the leading officials from the Ministry of Magic showed up.

"Any new progress in the investigation?"

Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge asked anxiously, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

He couldn't help but be anxious. Originally, this Quidditch World Cup was going to be cancelled, but Fudge felt that this was a good opportunity to enhance his reputation, so he strongly advocated that it continue to be held.

But now a tragedy has occurred that shocked the wizarding world, killing as many as four thousand people, including wizards from all over the world. Fudge is worried that if he doesn't do something, he will be killed by the victims' families as soon as he leaves the Ministry of Magic.

"Or just remove my position and I'll resign voluntarily." Fudge suddenly had an idea.

He knew that a high-level secret meeting was being held in another meeting room in the Ministry of Magic.

He was now hoping that the Ministry of Magic would decide to impeach him, and then he would run away immediately.

When he was not the Minister of Magic, he could get anything he wanted, but as the Minister of Magic, Fudge was really worried about his life.

After all, he had also seen the scene in the Echoing Spell. In addition to the twenty-eight pure-blood families, the three wizards' targets also included him!
Fortunately, his cowardice saved his life.

"Fudge can no longer be Minister of Magic!"

The patriarch of the Aibo family said loudly.

The Ministry of Magic is the government of the wizarding world, and the wizarding world is made up of wizarding families of all sizes, so the people present are all representatives of each major family.

The Abbott family is one of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Clans. The Twenty-Eight Sacred Clans are a family that insists on pure blood, only reproduces among wizards, and does not intermarry with humans.

However, there are only so many people in the wizarding world, and even pure-blood families have intermarried with half-bloods or even Muggles, so the number of pure-blood families has been decreasing.

Maybe in a few decades, it will become the Eighteen Sacred Clans.

Of course, there have been cases in history where the current Twenty-Eight Holy Clans have married Muggles, but the people involved have been expelled from the family tree, such as Sirius' sister Andromeda, so they are still considered a pure-blood family.

A pure-blood family is a pure-blood family, there is nothing wrong with that.

The most famous member of the Abbott family is Hannah Abbott, who is known for her unyielding character.

The words of the patriarch of the Aibo family were widely recognized.

It is true that according to common sense, having caused such a big mess, Fudge should never be able to sit in the position of leading the Ministry of Magic again. Not sending him to Azkaban was already a respectful act on their part.

"So who do you think would be a better new minister?" an official asked.

Lucius Malfoy, with long hair, stood up and said, "I propose Barty Crouch!"

"I must remind you, Malfoy," said One-Eyed Alastor Moody, "Barty Crouch's son is a Death Eater!"

"Oh we might have forgotten, you're a Death Eater too."

Moody's tone was extremely harsh: "Why, after your master has killed so many people, you still want to take control of the Ministry of Magic?"

Lucius corrected him with a grim expression, "First, the Dark Lord's return was explicitly approved by the Ministry of Magic to recognize the Dark Lord's contribution in resisting outsiders."

"Secondly, I believe the Quidditch tragedy was not committed by the Dark Lord. The pure-blood families are his supporters, and he will not attack the pure-blood families!"

"Third, the attacker used Muggle weapons, not magic! You know how much the Dark Lord hates Muggles!"

Moody had great malice towards Voldemort. He sneered with disdain: "With the current situation so chaotic, who knows if the Dark Lord will abandon you and find someone else to cooperate with?"

Lucius snorted coldly: "Anyone with a brain can see that this is an obvious frame-up!"

He said this but did not continue speaking. He turned around and sat back in his seat.

Moody's words still hit him hard, because it had been six hours since the Quidditch tragedy, but his master Voldemort had not contacted him yet.

Could he have really run away? Lucius was worried. Although he was sneaky and cunning, and pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, he was still very loyal to the Dark Lord.

Of course, he didn't know that the almighty Dark Lord was still in North America, and he had to catch a plane if he wanted to come over...

That's right, even if it's on a plane, even Voldemort can't Apparate such a long distance.

Moreover, Voldemort is very sensitive right now, so Mordred cannot help him rashly.

Soon after, other people came forward and proposed several candidates, but they were all rejected one by one.

Unexpectedly, some candidates present at the event immediately refused.

Although it is easy to get promoted now, everyone can see that this mess is too big.

Just to say one thing, becoming the Minister of Magic and comforting the families of the victims is already a headache, and no one wants to get involved in this mess.

It has even developed to the point where they deliberately nominate people who are at odds with them to take positions, a dirty tactic.

The nominees vigorously declined, and the others kept making a fuss. It was hard to imagine that they were refusing the highest position in the English wizarding world.

Seeing the scene was in chaos, an old man with a white beard finally stood up.

"Quiet!"

He cast a sound-boosting spell on himself, and everyone in the field shut their mouths when they heard him speak.

It's not because of his loud voice, but because of his identity.

Albus Dumbledore.

The most powerful wizard in the world today, at least one of them.

"The world is in a far worse state than we could ever imagine, my friends."

Dumbledore was very serious.

"Four years ago, a group of wizards suddenly appeared, or what we call outsiders, and broke the peace between the wizard and Muggle worlds."

"Some of them are greedy, some are friendly, and some are...extremely dangerous."

"Now all the Ministries of Magic in Africa have been banned by Queen Fish. The same is true in South America. Queen Poison Ivy has made the entire Amazon into her kingdom."

"If it had not been for..." Dumbledore paused, "if Voldemort had not intervened to resist Queen Fish during the conflict, the European wizarding world would not have been stable for so long."

"But even so, the relationship between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is becoming increasingly tense. If we don't respond carefully, the Quidditch tragedy will be a fuse that triggers a war between wizards and Muggles!"

Dumbledore naturally did not want the two worlds to go to war, but the hatred in the eyes of some wizards on the field made him realize that the seeds of dispute had already sprouted.

"Dumbledore, why don't you become the Minister of Magic!" someone shouted.

Dumbledore was actually a little tempted. It was not that he was greedy for power. He just felt that if he was at the helm, the wizarding world would not go to extremes.

But Lucius and other people who had been associated with the Dark Lord could not sit still. If Dumbledore came to power, they knew that their lives would be very difficult.

They even wanted to remove Dumbledore from the position of Hogwarts headmaster, so how could they let Dumbledore ride on their heads?

Therefore, this proposal was opposed by many families. Whether they were pure-blood or mixed-blood families, a considerable number of members disagreed.

This includes many families of the victims of the Quidditch tragedy, because they all know Dumbledore's inclinations and will definitely not choose to go to war with Muggles for revenge.

Anyone but Dumbledore.

"Who will be the Minister then?" Dumbledore asked, not surprised.

At this moment, Lucius suddenly suggested hesitantly: "How about...Fudge?"
