Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 95 What is the uncrowned king of the British wizarding world?
Although he had doubts in his mind, Dumbledore did not ask this time. Since Roger was unwilling to speak directly, it would be fruitless to ask him.

But invisibly, Dumbledore felt a little more urgency in his heart.

The oldest and strongest fear of mankind is the fear of the unknown. Facing the unknown, even a powerful wizard like Dumbledore is extremely cautious.

The conversation between the two was very brief, lasting less than a minute in total, but this half minute or so of presence was enough to draw people's attention.

The main hall of the Ministry of Magic, which was originally bustling with people coming and going, was slowly becoming quiet, and more and more people stopped their hurried steps.

There is no need to explain Dumbledore's identity. Almost most of the new generation of British wizards were once his students. What happened to Roger last year was reported in newspapers for a long time, and then became a new topic of discussion together with the Savior.

The law amendment incident that is currently going on in the Ministry of Magic was caused by Roger teaching Harry time magic.

At this moment, these two people who came to the Ministry of Magic together and have rich imaginations have begun to associate it with recent events.

Could it be...

Although they had doubts in their hearts, they dared not say anything or ask anything.

Different from the innocent little wizards, they, as adults, have long learned to respect and fear power.

They just watched, looking down slightly.

Roger could tell what the people around him were thinking from their expressions. He looked at Dumbledore, who was frowning slightly because of everyone's silent gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Being misunderstood is not a good experience. Now watching Dumbledore's "every evil will be dealt with by every evil", he still finds it quite interesting.

“Being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves.”

The people in the main hall did not make any other moves except watching in silence. After Dumbledore and Roger left in the elevator, everything returned to normal. Although some people could not help but discuss a few words, nothing else happened.

Most people are still very busy. Who would come to the Ministry of Magic if they have nothing to do? Getting things done is what's important. As for gossip, let's talk about it when we have free time.

What happened next was unremarkable.

Roger and Dumbledore took the elevator and arrived at the office of Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge.

The original Cornelius Fudge, on the surface, obeyed Dumbledore's orders, but secretly tried to build up his own power within the Ministry of Magic, intending to get rid of Dumbledore's "influence" and become a truly powerful Minister of Magic.

But now, everything is different.

Dumbledore's trip to the Middle East to reason with his magic wand, the Demon of Fear incident, the prophet and savior who are studying at Hogwarts, Grindelwald who escaped from prison, and now the law revision incident in which Dumbledore's shadow is vaguely present...

After so many added pressures, Cornelius Fudge has fully witnessed how terrifying Dumbledore's "energy" is!
He already knew who was the undisputed uncrowned king of the British wizarding world.

Now he plans to lie dormant even deeper, not daring to reveal his ambitions at all.

Naturally, he nodded repeatedly when Dumbledore personally came to ask him to do something. Roger didn't even have to run around. Fudge gave an order and everything was done.

...In fact, Fudge does not have the final say in the Ministry of Magic now, and he cannot make decisions on some operations that are not in line with the rules.

But the supervisor who was called in to manage the high-risk alchemical items department immediately understood what to do when he saw the bosses in the room.

It's similar to "this thing is not possible in principle".

In principle, no, but some people are the principle itself.

Special matters should be handled specially.

"Sigh..." Only after respectfully asking the two visitors to leave did Cornelius Fudge let out a long sigh and slumped in his chair.

The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was originally a popular candidate for the Minister of Magic, but his son Barty the Younger was identified as a Death Eater, which caused him to lose the opportunity. Another popular candidate, Dumbledore, refused the invitation to serve as Minister of Magic, just like in previous times.

This is how Fudge got this position.

He thought this would be a good job that fell from the sky. After all, ever since Voldemort was "defeated by the savior", the British wizarding world has been peaceful.

Take office, make money, and if possible, gain some power. This is the path Fudge had planned for himself as Minister of Magic. But after he actually took the position of Minister of Magic, he found that it was not the case at all!

Last year was the Wizengamot trials that nearly caused an international conflict with the Middle East, and this year began with Grindelwald escaping from prison and plundering the Department of Mysteries.

This was a slap in the face to the Ministry of Magic.

If Dumbledore hadn't stood on his side, he would probably have had a very difficult time during this period.

There are also legal amendments. The original intention of those who are pushing for this is good, but Fudge can guarantee that this kind of thing will eventually turn into political struggles, taking sides and expanding power.

The simplest example is abortion in the United States across the ocean. Both the pros and cons think they are right and have reasons, but neither can convince the other. In the end, doesn't it just turn into a pure political struggle?

Reform is not that easy.

Fudge felt that those powerful wizards were good at magic, but as for politics... haha.

If the magic wand wasn't so stubborn, it would have been defeated eight times.

"Minister, this thing is really dangerous."

Although she was already in her thirties, she was dressed in a pink girlish outfit. Dolores Umbridge took the sample of the first generation virtual reality machine that Roger had left at the Ministry of Magic in her hand with a very cautious expression.

Although she behaved like a clownish person most of the time, she was once an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts. She joined the Ministry of Magic at the age of 17 and was extremely good at understanding people's minds. As a half-blood wizard, she rose rapidly in the Ministry of Magic.

She might be disgusting to some, but she never lacked vision.

"It's so easy to let him do whatever he wants..."

"I know, I'm not blind." Before she finished speaking, Fudge, who was lying on the chair, interrupted her without raising his head.

Every time he finished Dumbledore's work, he would always say this to the people around him.

Virtual reality, multiplayer, accelerated thinking, anyone who is not an idiot can see the terrifying potential of this thing.

The works of this 11-year-old prophet have already made him smell the coming storm of change.

"Why, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

"If you dare to confront Dumbledore and the prophet face to face, then go grab a handful of Floo powder and go to Hogwarts now. I'll wait for your good news." Fudge sneered.

This is the case with many things. The problem is not whether you can see whether there is something wrong, but that you have to do it anyway.

Reaching his hand toward the lining, Fudge pulled out his wand and stroked it.

The principles of politics are still not as strong as the principles of the magic wand.

If only I could become a powerful wizard...

For a moment, Fudge's eyes looked a little melancholy.

"Harry, this thing is much more fun than wizard chess!" Ron looked surprised.

After obtaining the license, the next step is to start using it.

Roger found an abandoned old classroom inside Hogwarts, the same one where the Mirror of Erised was previously placed. He cleaned it up and turned it into a virtual reality experience room.

But Roger discovered something new.

It seems the little wizards at Hogwarts are a little too obsessed with games.

Looking at the long line of students outside the old classroom, Roger pondered for a moment: "Should we have some anti-addiction mechanism?"
