I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Moody unlocked the back door and they went out one by one.

Harry was excited because he was finally no longer isolated.

This excitement didn't last long.

Although Moody arranged the task very vigilantly, he did not expect that there was magic on the roof of John Wick.

The first three people who flew up fell down like dumplings.

In the attic, a dog's head popped out and barked at them.

It's Tom.

...

August 8th is the day of Harry's trial, and the debate will take place in the Wizengamot.

John planned to reduce Dumbledore's power that day.

"Even if you are Dumbledore, you still need to pay a price."

His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he took this opportunity to strike a blow at Dumbledore's position as Headmaster.

Even if we can't pull it down directly, we need to make him make huge concessions.

John's mind flashed with the image of Dumbledore and the burning Fiendfyre.

His breathing became rapid, and by the time he reacted, things around him tightened and floated up.

"I didn't expect that I could not wait this long."

Touching his heart, John talked to himself.

...

Chapter 267 Transactions and Selections

With old Batty taking office, his original position as director will have to be replaced.

Percy was promoted to Director of the Office of International Magical Law, a position with enormous power in foreign immigration jurisdiction and a position of real power.

If Percy had not had so little experience, old Barty would have transferred him to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but unfortunately this was strongly opposed by Amelia.

Pierce was not promoted, and he knew that he could not stay in this position for long. At the latest next year, he would be transferred to the Wizengamot.

Oz became an Auror in the Auror Office and no longer needed to travel outside.

She was promoted inexplicably, and Tang Mi invited her to the manor for a banquet.

With Oz's current status, he is qualified to attend the banquet.

She opened her mouth in surprise as she watched the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic clinking glasses in the manor. There were also the pure-blood families and wealthy people, each of whom was a big shot to her in the past.

I thought the banquet Tang Mi was talking about was a meal together, but I didn't expect it to be a feast for big shots.

The organizer, John, put on the silver mask, and old Batty's rise to power allowed him to successfully obtain the tax-free policy of the Silver Hand Wine Cellar, which was equivalent to giving himself money.

The change of power often brings huge benefits.

Even if he didn't say it, old Batty would keep it in mind and leave him a copy.

In Silverhand Manor, old Barty transformed himself and became the new Minister of Magic.

He was wearing a new robe that was specially made for him, and his face, which had been stern for a long time, finally showed a sincere smile.

His regret for many years was finally realized.

And all this has to do with one person.

John clinked glasses with him, and Old Batty thanked him, "Sir, I will always remember your help."

"Old Batty, today is a happy day. We should let go of some things." The champagne glasses clinked gently, and John smiled leisurely: "You will be very busy in the future. I will leave a bottle of wine for you to taste when you are free."

His words made old Batty feel very comfortable. There was no condescending advice, but more like a joke between friends.

Old Batty finished the wine, burped, and an ice bubble flew out. He laughed and said, "This wine is addictive."

Pierce stood aside, a smile on his face, three steps away from the two men.

Seeing that old Batty was drunk, he stepped forward and helped him up.

"Your Excellency, I will help the Minister leave first."

"Pierce, I believe that you will become better soon." John raised his glass and Pierce bowed his head respectfully.

After seeing old Batty off, John looked through the crowd and found old Jack, who looked a little embarrassed.

He smiled and walked forward, and in the respectful expression of Old Jack, he asked: "Old Jack, I am glad that you can come."

"Sir Johnny Silverhand, it's my honor." Old Jack suppressed his excitement, and said with a trembling voice: "I never thought that a werewolf could sit in the Ministry of Magic and vote."

"Calm down, old friend." John brushed off the fireplace ash on him and chuckled. "You are a member of parliament. Minister Crouch is planning to reform the werewolf capture unit and the werewolf registration office. I hope I can recommend suitable candidates. I think Zoffy and Chudai are very good candidates."

"Sir, is this true?"

When old Jack heard the news, he was more excited than when he became a member of parliament.

The Werewolf Capture Unit is a division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures responsible for capturing werewolves.

Old Jack had almost been caught before, as there had always been discrimination against werewolves there.

The same goes for the Werewolf Registration Office. Basically no werewolf will go there unless they really can't survive. If the information is known, it means that they will be monitored by the Ministry of Magic in the future.

Placing a werewolf inside means that werewolves are no longer prey, and the werewolves who commit crimes are sinners, and they can live a normal life.

He was so excited that he almost fainted. It was incredible.

Old Jack said, "How did you do that, sir?"

"The transfer of power, old Jack, will change the werewolf community for the better. I assure you of that."

In John's opinion, werewolves and magical creatures are not the same.

They are all victims of a curse, victims like Nagini.

There is no reason to hold the victim responsible for someone else's crime.

He discussed with old Batty and decided that he needed to use some positions as bargaining chips to win people's hearts.

These two positions are not very important to ordinary wizards, and some people may never encounter them in their lifetime.

But for werewolves, it is a great thing, and it is a position similar to that of Auror.

After solemnly handing the appointment letter to Old Jack, John received a message from Old Jack.

Lupin has found old Jack and wants the werewolf to join them.

"My lord, I rejected him." Old Jack replied with a clear conscience: "Dumbledore has never helped werewolves, and werewolves will never join them."

John was moved by his explanation.

"You're my friend, old Jack, and I won't doubt you."

John gave old Jack a hug, but he didn't expect Dumbledore's arm was so long that it had already reached the werewolf community.

The Order of the Phoenix needs help, and so do the Death Eaters.

At present, most of the Death Eaters are hiding, and the Star Eaters are searching outside, and they encountered a group attack.

The Death Eaters who were hiding were preparing for a counterattack. Their leaderless state made them very passive, and Voldemort did not appear in front of these Death Eaters.

"Tom, where have you been?"

Shaking the glass, John looked through the wine at the bubbles inside.

...

John still had no idea about the position of Hogwarts headmaster.

However, he did have an idea about the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Tang Mi, go ahead."

Hearing this, Tang Mi was stunned for a moment.

John said to himself, "You are a Hogwarts graduate. You are the most qualified to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Tang Mi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please stop joking."

he goes?

Let him teach his boss?

Don't be so ridiculous. He thinks he is quite capable, but he is far from being qualified to be John's teacher.

His frightened look made John couldn't help laughing. Knowing Tang Mi's character, John knew it was just a joke.

The real target is not Tangmi, but someone else.

John shook his head and said, "In that case, forget it. Even if someone wants to go, it shouldn't be our person. We need someone from the Ministry of Magic."

However, that person is related to Tang Mi.

John stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Dumbledore's power is too great. We need someone to check and balance him."

"You need to be obedient."

There would need to be a process to remove Dumbledore, and John planned to have the Ministry of Magic send out an investigator.

Harry's use of magic outside of school was a breakthrough point, and using this as an excuse to make a request, not even Dumbledore could refuse.

John originally wanted to let Percy go, but unfortunately it would hurt the relationship between Percy and his family.

Changing to another candidate, he looked at Tang Mi and asked, "How good is Oz Hild?"

Pierce mentioned it last time, and John also remembered his "friend" Tang Mi.

As long as it was at a normal level, John wouldn't mind giving Oz a brighter future.

When Oz was mentioned, Tang Mi immediately gave a thumbs up and said confidently: "She is the best Auror, but she is limited by her family background. If it weren't for this, she would have been the head of the Auror Office long ago."

After saying that, Tang Mi found that John was staring at him, and he coughed twice awkwardly.

"Then let her go. There is no better choice for an Auror to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." John said with a half-smile, "You really appreciate this 'friend'."

"Just, just an ordinary friend." Tang Mi dug his toes into the ground awkwardly.

John waved his hand casually, "For a good guy to be your friend, you also need a bad guy."

To deal with a great man like Dumbledore, it is naturally best to use some small talents.

After filtering through his mind for people with this ability, John found it quite difficult.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

An image of an old lady in pink clothes appeared.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the pink-dressed woman you saw at the fountain in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic on the day old Barty was elected?"

Tang Mi recalled carefully, revealing an uncomfortable expression as if he had eaten a fly.

"My Lord, are you talking about Dolores Umbridge? If it is that person, she is extremely annoying."

Tang Mi rarely showed anger on his face, and said in a deep voice: "When I was an Auror, I was disgusted by that pink toad. Her desire for control makes her want to control everyone."

When he said this, John's eyes lit up.

Isn't it just right for such a villain with a strong desire for control to go against Dumbledore?

So he became even more curious and asked Tang Mi to tell him more about Umbridge. He wanted to know whether this bad guy was qualified to stand with the great man Dumbledore.

This is incredible.

From Donmi, John learned that Umbridge was essentially the same type of person as Pierce.

The difference is that even if Pierce behaves a little more mercenary, he will not be as disgusting as Umbridge.

At best, Pierce ignores the little guys and is the type who flatters the high-handed.

But in this way, he would not demand too much from his subordinates, but would just focus more on how to get along with senior officials in a smooth manner.

Umbridge, on the other hand, tried her best to make things difficult for others within the limited scope she had.

It was kind to tell Umbridge all the things Rita Skeeter had invented about Amelia.
