A loud, solemn voice came out of Fudge's mouth and echoed throughout the conference room.

"As the decision-making body of the English wizarding world, the Wizengamot makes every decision that will profoundly affect the development of the wizarding world."

"According to convention, a comprehensive meeting will be held every three years to discuss the future direction of the Ministry of Magic and all walks of life."

"Please make your choice carefully, Wizengamot members. Every vote you cast will affect the future development of the entire wizarding world."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

As the solemn words fell, all the Wizengamot members gave the warmest applause.

And Fudge also bowed slightly to show his respect.

The future, including his term as Minister for Magic, was within the scope of his decision-making at the Wizengamot.

Therefore, it is very necessary for him to show a good impression to everyone present.

As the applause became less frequent, Fudge's voice rang out again.

"Dear Wizengamot members, let's move on to our first motion."

"Please invite Mr. Rudy Entelho to explain the proposal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red-robed wizard sitting in the back stood up, walked off the stage, and stood in front of everyone.

Bowed to the Wizengamot members on both sides.

Everyone focused their attention on this person.

And Rudy was no stranger to it, and he said directly: "Everyone, the proposal I brought today is about Gringotts."

"I think that Gringotts, as a wizarding bank, should allow wizards to provide a certain amount of loans in order to boost the wizarding world's economy."

"First, this can provide a wizard with a certain source of income during difficult times."

"Secondly, I think that when wizards have gold galleons in their hands, they can further stimulate the economy."

"Third, I think the gold galleons......"

"..."

Soon, this Rudy wizard proudly listed a bunch of reasons, as if emphasizing the justice of increasing loans.

at last......

"So, I suggest that in order to better ensure the issuance of loans, wizards should be allowed to enter Gringotts to supervise and guide the issuance of loans and the direction of operational development."

Fudge was touched by Rudy's suggestion.

If he could arrange for wizards to enter Gringotts, then there would be no doubt that his power as Minister of Magic would be further expanded.

but....

"Members of the Wizengamot, do you have any questions about the proposal put forward by Wizard Rudy?"

As soon as Fudge's voice fell, the voices of some members of the Wizengamot rang out one after another.

"No, we must not let laymen lead professionals."

"Goblins have always managed Gringotts. If we force wizards to enter, it will easily intensify the conflict."

“…”

Fudge saw that many members of the Wizengamot strongly opposed it.

My inner spirit suddenly dropped.

He felt that he should first take control of the things in his hands and then look at other things.

You must defend the inside before you can attack the outside.

At the same time, the wizard on the side watched his friend constantly raising objections, and he remained silent.

Rudy was not surprised to see this.

He had proposed a similar motion three years ago, but the last time it was more obvious, directly proposing that wizards enter Gringotts.

This time, a loan was obtained to cover up the situation.

But there are still many people who oppose it.

This made his inner speculation stronger and stronger.

They soon entered the next process, allowing many Wizengamot members to vote.

As expected, only a small number of people agreed, and most people either chose to abstain or directly choose to refuse.

Seeing this, Fudge naturally made a decision.

"After everyone voted, the first motion will not be passed for the time being."

"Wizard Rudy, you can return to your seat now."

Seeing this, Rudy said nothing, walked up the stairs and prepared to return to his seat.

Fudge said loudly again: "The next proposal is Aegon Thornton."

Soon, a Wizengamot wizard sitting on the left came out.

Same process.

Give your own explanation, listen to and answer everyone's opinions and questions, and finally vote to decide whether the proposal is passed.

The second proposal is about certain restrictions on some minor, harmless prohibited potions in the potion industry.

Although there were many people who opposed it this time, the proposal was passed in the end with a slight majority.

Next is Article 3, Article 4, and all the way to Article 25.

Among them, the proposals include various industries in the British wizarding world, magical creatures, spell research, the appearance of magical plants, and even the Order of Merlin.

It is worth mentioning that someone proposed to give Gilderoy Lockhart, the founder of meditation, a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin.

However, a large number of members chose to abstain tacitly.

Seems to be afraid of something.

It may be related to the fact that recipients of the Order of Merlin will automatically join the Wizengamot.

In the end, it ended in failure.

Soon, it was time for the 30th motion.

Many Wizengamot members came to their attention, as if they knew what was going to happen next.

"Next, for the 30th motion, I would like to invite Wizard Dustin Frank to explain it."

Soon, Dustin Frank, who was sitting in the front position on the right side, stood up.

He walked to the open space in the middle and bowed slightly to the Wizengamot members on both sides as a sign of respect.

Then he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the proposal I brought is related to the establishment of a wizard school."

"As we all know, due to some misunderstandings, the Squibs' demonstrations some time ago caused a lot of commotion and affected the lives of many wizards."

"And this all stems from the meditation method invented by Professor Lockhart."

"Meditation can allow Squibs to have the ability to become wizards. This will undoubtedly help promote the development of the entire wizarding world."

"However, we also need to consider our attitude towards Squibs."

Having said that, Dustin Frank paused and observed the expressions of the wizards around him.

As if to adjust his subsequent expression.

"In the past, because Squibs did not have the ability to cast spells, most wizards looked down on them."

"But it's different now. Squib has the meditation method and can cast spells. He is already one of us."

"We have to treat him fairly."

"Otherwise, the Squib parade a while ago was a typical negative case."

"For the peace and development of the wizarding world."

"I propose..."

"Establish a Squib wizard school specifically for training Squibs and teaching them the conduct of a wizard and their spellcasting abilities."

"And the school principal is most suitable for Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, the founder of meditation."

Dustin Frank finished speaking.

The entire conference room was silent.

Everyone, including Fudge, looked at Dumbledore, as if wanting to see his reaction.

But at this moment, Dumbledore did not stand up and raise his objections as everyone expected.

But...remain silent.

Even his facial expression did not change, as if he had not heard it.

Seeing this, Fudge said with some regret: "Dear Wizengamot members, do you have any questions about the proposal put forward by Wizard Dustin?"

He was also prepared to see the scene where Dumbledore would strongly object and ultimately be disappointed.

As a key partner in cooperation with Lockhart.

He knew very well that in recent months, Lockhart had first convinced the Frank family through a duel for this proposal.

Then every three days, he would challenge a pure-blood family.

Let them be completely crushed after they have been fully prepared.

A total of about four families were challenged, and the remaining families could not withstand such pressure, and the Elders' Council did not provide any support.

No, he could only choose to agree to Lockhart's conditions.

However....

What they never expected was that although Lockhart took a large amount of their resources, he also brought them huge benefits.

For example, the light of life, new types of magic potions, etc.

In an instant, these pure-blood families forgot their previous hatred and stood firmly behind Lockhart, cheering him on.

In the process, Lockhart's fighting power has spread to the entire British wizarding world and even to other countries.

Other Wizengamot members or pure-blood families also enjoyed the gold coin tactics during this period of time.

After being hit by a large amount of resources from Lockhart, he felt a little dizzy.

So far, there have been few objections.

And some people were also watching Dumbledore's attitude.

They seemed to know that their role was almost insignificant, and they all voted against it, so it was of no use.

Only Dumbledore, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, could reject such a proposal.

As the chief mage, he can reject any proposal as long as there is a reasonable reason.

However......

At this moment, Dumbledore's mind was not in the conference room.

He was now constantly thinking about one thing in his mind.

That is.....

Where are Voldemort's Horcruxes hidden?

Because, just two weeks ago, Lockhart walked up to him with a golden crown.

And this is the long-lost Ravenclaw diadem.

According to his introduction, this is a Horcrux found in the Room of Requirement.

The discovery of the Horcrux relieved many of the doubts in Dumbledore's mind.

During these two weeks, he kept exploring Tom's life trajectory, trying to find more Horcruxes.

As long as the Horcrux is immortal, Tom will never die!

If you want to kill Tom, destroy the Horcrux first!

This is the most important thing for him in recent times.
