I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

With the powerful magic network in his hands, if Fudge dares to target Su Yu, he wouldn't mind letting Fudge know what public pressure is like.

Moreover, according to his plan, Fudge will only stay in this position for a maximum of three more years. After three years, Su Yu believes that the position of Minister of Magic will definitely be filled by one of his own people.

The following day, the election for the Director of the International Department of Magical Cooperation and Exchange officially began, and Su Yu was naturally unable to attend such a meeting.

At this moment, the three nominees stood on the main stage, with Fouché, six secretaries, and forty ordinary members of parliament and media reporters sitting below.

Fouché himself had twenty votes, the six secretaries each had ten votes, and then the other forty members of parliament each had one vote.

According to the election rules, voting is conducted under real names, and a nominee needs to obtain more than half of the votes to be elected successfully.

If none of the three votes in the first round can obtain a majority, then the top two votes need to be re-elected to confirm the final result.

The three of them each gave a speech, and Umbridge was noticeably more excited today than yesterday.

Because in the end, Fouché helped her resolve the trouble of the demonstration and told her that he would fully support her in becoming the new director.

This greatly boosted Umbridge's confidence. With Fudge's twenty votes and the verbal promises from five directors, he already had seventy votes, giving him the upper hand and making victory a certainty.

At this moment, she even wanted to thank Su Yu. Thanks to his attack on her in the media, Fujie saw the situation clearly and sided entirely with her.

She glanced again at Arthur, who was equally confident, and reverted to her previous attitude: You have a high reputation? What good is a high reputation? In this world, what matters is power and connections. You, Arthur Weasley, are nothing more than a nobody.

Soon, Fudge announced the start of the election. First, forty ordinary members of parliament raised their hands to vote, thirty of whom voted for Umbridge. Arthur Weasley received eight votes, while Kingsley only received a paltry two.

Of course, Fouché had already given instructions yesterday. As for ordinary members of parliament, Minister Fouché should still be given a certain amount of respect.

Upon seeing this result, Umbridge couldn't suppress her smile; she never expected to receive thirty votes from ordinary members of parliament.

Based on this data, her final votes could very well reach over 70%, and a surge of pride welled up within her: So what if the media smears me? Who can stop me? I, Umbridge, am the chosen one!

Next, Fudge cast his vote, naturally for Umbridge. This gave her 50 votes, just 10 short of the 60 required for a majority. If a director fulfilled his verbal promise, Umbridge could secure the director's position.

Thinking of this, Umbridge even laughed out loud. If it weren't for the fact that the election was still ongoing, she would have wanted to go up and give Fudge a big hug.

Unlike Umbridge, Arthur's mood sank to the bottom. He knew that Fudge had promised Su Yu that he would choose him.

Unexpectedly, Fudge betrayed him at the last minute, which made him furious but helpless. In the end, he could only sigh in resignation, perhaps he, Arthur Weasley, was destined to never be a director.

The election continued, and next up was Amelia's turn to vote. She cast her vote for Arthur Weasley without hesitation, which moved Arthur deeply, and he nodded to her.

Then it was Zabini's turn. He also voted for Arthur Weasley. This time, Arthur was a little surprised. Although he and Zabini usually had a good relationship, he never expected that the other party would vote for him.

Arthur's votes reached 28, but he wasn't too upset. After all, he was far behind, and if just one person voted for Umbridge, the other side would win.

Voting continued, 38 votes... 48 votes... 58 votes. Arthur's expression became more and more interesting, while Umbridge and Fudge's expressions became more and more unpleasant. Who could have imagined that such a large advantage could be reversed by Arthur Weasley?

Fouché did not speak to these directors individually, and yesterday he made a last-minute decision to switch his support to Umbridge. He has been spending all his energy on winning over the ordinary members of parliament.

Fouchi thought that he might not have a very good relationship with these directors, but after seeing his statement, one or two of them would follow him. He never expected the result to be like this.

Chapter 150 The Crack

With the last director casting his 10 votes, Arthur Weasley won with 68 votes, becoming the new director of the International Magical Cooperation and Exchange Department.

Fudge looked terrible, and Umbridge looked even worse. If they had been destined to fail from the start, perhaps they wouldn't have felt so bad.

But even though they had clearly seen hope, why didn't any of these directors stand on their side at the last moment? Umbridge couldn't understand it, and Fudge couldn't understand it even more.

Regardless of the circumstances, the matter has been settled, and there's no point in dwelling on it anymore. The media made the final result their front-page headline the next day.

Su Yu didn't continue to kick Fudge and Umbridge while they were down. After all, Arthur had become the director, and he wouldn't gain anything by provoking the minister.

All Su Yu had to do with Minister Fudge was quietly wait for Voldemort's return, so that this Dark Lord could present Fudge with his final gift.

The celebration will be held three days later, outside the Weasley family’s Burrow. Many Weasleys will be there, including Amelia and Zabini, the current Director.

For example, Kingsley and Perkins, Arthur's former colleagues; Professor McGonagall and Su Yu, Hogwarts professors; and Lupin and Sirius, members of the Order of the Phoenix.

The most important person was Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts. He came to Arthur with a glass of wine in his hand, gently clinked glasses with him, and said, "Congratulations, Arthur!"

"Thank you!" Arthur nodded in thanks.

Dumbledore suddenly asked, "If I'm not mistaken, Sue must have played a significant role in your becoming the Chief of Staff, right?"

Arthur nodded and, without hiding anything, gave Dumbledore a general account, concluding with a heartfelt remark: "I am truly grateful to Sue; she has made our family's life so much more colorful."

The next moment, Dumbledore abruptly changed the subject, asking, "Doesn't Sue have any requests?"

Arthur's expression changed slightly. He understood Dumbledore's meaning and said truthfully, "I talked to Sue about this before. He didn't intend to use my identity to do anything for his own benefit."

"In fact, Sue and I share the same ideal: to promote the advancement of alchemy so that more ordinary wizards can enjoy the benefits of magic."

Dumbledore nodded noncommittally and did not press the matter further. It was clear that Arthur favored Su Yu over him.

Dumbledore was initially suspicious of Su Yu, especially when he first discovered that Su Yu had followed Harry Potter to the room where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden.

At that time, Dumbledore even thought that Su Yu might have already cooperated with Voldemort. Later, as Su Yu's strength grew rapidly, this feeling became even stronger.

After all, with the knowledge he had acquired, there was no way to improve a person's strength so quickly, unless it was Voldemort's unknown dark magic methods.

However, Su Yu's later actions changed Dumbledore's mind, especially after Su Yu destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Dumbledore now considered Su Yu a comrade-in-arms.

But this incident with Arthur suddenly made Dumbledore realize that Su Yu was also an ambitious man.

He is attempting to use magical phones and networks to control public opinion within the British magical community, and even to control the appointment and dismissal of senior officials at the British Ministry of Magic.

This was a very dangerous sign, and Dumbledore had to think about what Su Yu really wanted and what he could do.

What chilled Dumbledore even more was that the Magical Network's services extended beyond the British magical community, which involuntarily reminded him of an old friend.

Since he couldn't get much information from Arthur Weasley, Dumbledore went directly to Su Yu's side.

Su Yu didn't mingle with the others; he chose a quiet corner and drank his butterbeer alone.

Seeing Dumbledore approaching, Su Yu touched him and said, "Headmaster, I didn't expect you to be here today. Aren't you busy enough with that person's affairs?"

Dumbledore knew that Su Yu was referring to Horcruxes, and smiled, saying, "We've made some progress, but this matter isn't urgent yet; I still have some time."

"I thought about it carefully afterward. Voldemort would definitely choose items with special significance when making Horcruxes, such as Ravenclaw's crown, Hufflepuff's golden cup, Slytherin's locket, and so on," Su Yu said directly.

Su Yu naturally guessed that his actions would probably arouse Dumbledore's vigilance, so he simply released this information directly.

Anyway, the Ravenclaw crown is now in his own hands; the Hufflepuff cup is in Bellatrix Lestrange's Gringotts private storeroom.

As for the Slytherin locket, it's probably still in Kreacher's hands, so he's not worried about Dumbledore getting it before him. As for the Gaunt family ring, he doesn't know how far Dumbledore has gotten in his investigation.

Sure enough, Su Yu's words immediately attracted Dumbledore's attention. He stood there thinking for a while before coming back to his senses and sincerely asking, "Su, can you tell me what you want?"

This abrupt question left Su Yu bewildered: "What do you mean, 'want what'?"

Dumbledore, unsure whether Su Yu was feigning ignorance, patiently explained, "Your magical phone and magical network have already impacted the entire British wizarding world, and even wizards worldwide. So I want to know, what do you want?"

Meeting Dumbledore's deep blue eyes, Su Yu's pendant didn't heat up this time, indicating that Dumbledore hadn't used Legilimency and that his attitude was very sincere.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know either. For now, my idea is to let ordinary wizards enjoy more of the convenience brought by magic."

"At the same time, I also hope that these things can become my strongest support, so that I won't be manipulated by some foolish politicians."

Dumbledore nodded and then asked, "If one day those foolish politicians you speak of try to seize control of the magical network, would you hand it over?"

Meeting Dumbledore's gaze, Su Yu said firmly, "If this really happens, I will consider replacing the wizarding world with a group of smart politicians."

After Su Yu finished speaking, the two stared at each other, neither willing to give in. The atmosphere became awkward and tense, as if a storm was brewing.

"Su, come here quickly, we're about to start the operation!" Tonks waved his hand from behind Dumbledore and shouted to Su Yu.

Chapter 151 Under the Crack

Hearing the sound, Su Yu turned his head and looked past Dumbledore at Tonks, who was looking excited. The girl was so lively and sweet that it calmed his heart.

Dumbledore turned around and, seeing it was Tonks, raised his glass to Su Yu and said, "Youth is wonderful, go have some fun!"

As Su Yu was about to leave, Dumbledore said again, "Su, I have met many ambitious geniuses in my life. I have a piece of advice for you: anyone who cannot control their ambition will eventually bring endless suffering to those around them."

Su Yu chuckled lightly: "Principal, do you think you've controlled your ambition?"

“I’m trying to control it! So far, it’s going quite well!” Dumbledore said.

"And what about the people around you?" Su Yu stabbed Dumbledore straight in the heart, almost shattering his Dao heart.

Dumbledore's only remaining relative in the world is probably Aberforth, but the two are currently estranged and have never spoken to each other again.

Another person closest to Dumbledore was probably his good friend Grindelwald, who was in Nurmagomedov prison in France at the time.

Then, speaking of the members of the Order of the Phoenix from back then, it seems that none of them have really done particularly well. Lupin, Sirius, Arthur, and others have only gradually improved their lives in recent years with Su Yu's help.

Dumbledore even began to doubt his own beliefs for a moment. When he came to his senses and looked up, Su Yu had already left with Tonks.

He downed the butterbeer in one gulp, the sweet liquid swirling in his mouth, a few beer bubbles clinging to the corners of his wry smile. The next moment, with a whoosh, Dumbledore vanished from the spot.

"How is the situation now?" Su Yu asked curiously as he approached Tonks.

Tonks was extremely excited and said, "Sirius also remembers Director Amelia, and according to his recollection, it seems that he and Amelia had some unknown interactions back then."

Su Yu nodded and asked, "So what do you plan to do now?"

Ten minutes later, Mrs. Weasley will take Amelia to the study on the third floor of the Burrow. Your task is to lure Sirius to that study as well, giving them a chance to be alone together.

Su Yu's eyes lit up. He wondered what kind of sparks would fly when the two of them were alone. He could record the whole thing and use it to get back at Sirius.

As he walked, Su Yu released his scouts and guards, guiding the little guys to the study on the third floor to lay in ambush. Then, he himself, carrying a wine glass, went to Sirius's side.

Sirius was dressed in a magnificent noble robe today, and his handsome appearance had recovered to about 70-80% of what it used to be. As soon as he saw Su Yu, he immediately greeted him happily: "Ha, nephew-in-law, where did you go just now? I didn't see you at all!"

Su Yu thought to himself, "I'm trying to avoid you, how could you possibly see me?" But he still asked aloud, "How was your trip to Europe?"

Sirius Black raised his head proudly and said, "Of course, with me in charge, some minor troubles are nothing. The direct-operated stores of the Feather Experience Store have already been arranged in various European countries."

The two chatted about this issue for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, Su Yu said, "Very good. Since you have completed the task, I won't be stingy. Let's go to Arthur's study. I have a gift for you!"

"Wow, nephew-in-law, I didn't expect you to prepare a gift for me. What is it?" Sirius asked exaggeratedly.

Su Yu was too lazy to say anything more, so he turned around and left. Sirius Black loved to see Su Yu get his comeuppance, so he immediately followed and kept chattering beside him, never stopping talking about his nephew-in-law.

Just a short distance from the study on the third floor, Su Yu suddenly pretended to take out his phone to check it, and then said apologetically to Sirius, "Sorry, I left something with Tonks. Go to the study and wait for me, I'll be there in a bit."

After saying that, Su Yu turned around and ran downstairs on his own. Looking at Su Yu's back, Sirius felt a little suspicious.

"Could this guy have set some kind of trap for me in the study?" Sirius muttered to himself.

If it were an ordinary person, they might not have gone if they sensed a trap, but Sirius was different. He guessed that Su Yu had set a trap for him, and he became excited instead.

He was determined to expose Su Yu's tricks and slap him in the face, so Sirius Black drew his wand and cautiously walked towards the study.
