Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 112

c112 harry’s new godfather

Throughout August, people in the British magic world were busy.

Under the leadership of Rufus Scrimgeour, a resolute and continuous self-examination campaign was launched from the top of the Ministry of Magic to the most basic clerks.

A large number of redundant staff who were taking advantage of the situation and doing nothing were fired.

There were also a group of guys who took bribes and were sent to Azkaban to entertain themselves according to law.

For this reason, many families with ancient heritages complained, as they were the biggest financial backers behind the Ministry of Magic in the past.

In the past, in order to appease them, the Ministry of Magic paid a lot of positions to allow them to arrange family members to work in the Ministry of Magic.

Scrimgeour’s first internal blow was to cut them.

These families naturally refused. In the past, they placed family members in the Ministry of Magic not just to find a job for idle people.

More importantly, they wanted to place their own nails and spies in the Ministry of Magic.

Nothing could make them feel more at ease than the connection between blood and family affection.

Under the family concept of “prosperity and loss are shared by all”, the Ministry of Magic cannot hide any action from them.

From the least valued Muggle Issues Mediation Committee to the most important Auror Command, it can be said that the entire Ministry of Magic has been infiltrated by these big families that actually control the magic world, and is almost like a sieve.

Now that Scrimgeour has come to power, he will take action against them as soon as possible. How can these families agree?

Their spies have been expelled or sentenced. If the Ministry of Magic takes action against their big families next time, how can they react in time?

Scrimgeour had no intention of taking action against them. After all, many of these families are big industrialists, and their industries affect all aspects of the magic world.

Before the society is completely settled, it is not appropriate to settle accounts with them.

However, Scrimgeour’s concession made these families go further, and they regarded this tolerance as being bullied.

Old guys who are not dead, wearing tall hats and holding golden sticks, wandered outside his office door all day and night.

Some people even used this year’s activity funds to make things.

Scrimgeour didn’t say much, but when they came to ask for an explanation again, he threw a thick stack of materials in front of each family representative.

After receiving the materials, everyone lost their arrogant attitude instantly.

They bowed and smiled, praising the Ministry of Magic for its good governance.

There was no way, Rufus Scrimgeour took a picture of the evidence of the major families colluding with Voldemort openly or secretly.

These families, which have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, may not necessarily do other things, but they have always stood in line very well.

Since Voldemort first emerged in the magic world decades ago, they have been intentionally or unintentionally associated with this future Dark Lord.

If it weren’t for the tacit approval or even funding of these families, how could Voldemort rise so quickly.

Fifteen years ago, on the day when Voldemort was defeated, they turned into the mainstay of the magic world again.

But this year, after Voldemort was resurrected.

They started their usual shaking-head strategy again, betting on both sides, one side firmly followed the Ministry of Magic.

The other side secretly contacted the Death Eaters, ready to serve the Dark Lord at any time.

They did keep it secret enough, but there was no way, Gretel saw all these things clearly in his memory.

Any evidence thrown out by Scrimgeour, any one of which would make that family the target of public criticism in the magic world.

Three days later, no one went to the Minister’s office to disturb Scrimgeour, the new Minister of Magic.

However, for a Minister of Magic who controls the entire country’s magic world, how could he be idle.

Morn, just managed a small Moldova, and with the help of his comrades in Shuguang to handle government affairs, he had more personal time recently.

Rufus Scrimgeour was still in charge of such a big country, and he was already busy with various government affairs. Such internal and external problems made him anxious.

However, food is not eaten in one bite, and things cannot be done overnight.

After the dismissal of a large number of civil servants, the daily operation of the Ministry of Magic seemed a bit stretched.

So, at the end of August, the Ministry of Magic started the most ambitious recruitment campaign in the past few hundred years, adding a wave of fresh blood.

Naturally, the comrades of Dawn transformed themselves into a group of diligent civil servants of the British Ministry of Magic.

Seni Diergo also resigned from his position as a member of the Moldovan Ministry of Magic and became Scrimgeour’s office assistant.

One east and one west, the two ministries of magic echoed each other and woven a big network for the future transformation of Dawn.

However, compared with the more radical Moldovan Ministry of Magic, which explored integration into the Muggle world.

The British Ministry of Magic does not have much to do about the construction of the new era.

Their main task is to enlighten the people.

Let the wizards realize that they are no longer the masters of the world.

The center of the world has long shifted from the magical world controlled by wizards to the Muggle world that relies on economy and technology and strides forward.

Not many people in Europe and America, where Gret has been, are aware of this.

At least, most of the wizards Gret has come into contact with are still immersed in the fairy tale world above wizards.

Not many wizards are aware that the magic world has fallen behind.

America is beyond the reach of Grete now.

And the strength of the Muggle government in America is not something he can measure now.

Dawn cannot guarantee to wade through even a small piece of land in Europe.

As the base camp for future reforms, Grete must ensure that the whole people are united, at least most people can stand in the same camp with Dawn.

This can ensure the vitality of Dawn’s development, so that it will not lose the power to turn around and fight again after a setback.

Looking at the whole of Europe, the British magic world with Dumbledore in charge is undoubtedly the top political and economic center.

The purpose of Seni’s joining the British magic world is to cooperate with Rufus Scrimgeour and completely control the British magic world in the hands of Dawn.

And then make the whole of Europe the base camp for Dawn’s uprising.

As for Dumbledore, they don’t need to worry. None of their core decision-makers know the parchment roll.

For the great cause, Grete can choose to cooperate with others, but it is absolutely impossible for him to give up the interests of Dawn.

The parchment clearly stipulates that Dawn enjoys the right to develop freely, as long as it does not start a war and persecute innocent people.

Dumbledore and the forces he controls cannot launch an attack on Dawn.

That is, during the development stage of Dawn, as long as it adheres to a peaceful and gentle approach, it will basically be unimpeded in England.

However, even so, Dawn still chooses to develop steadily and low-key.

Every member must undergo a comprehensive review to ensure the purity and discipline of the organization.

…

After eliminating the social unrest caused by Voldemort’s resurrection, Gretel will fulfill another agreement he made with Dumbledore.

It just so happens that he also wants to eliminate the problem of personal worship that may exist in Dawn’s future development.

Dawn is not his own Dawn, but the Dawn of all Dawn people, and even more so the Dawn of all wizards.

Personal worship may be a good thing for him personally, but it is not so wonderful when it is extended to the entire Dawn.

Gretel has always believed in a saying that when human power is limited, it is beyond one’s power.

Every decision he made may affect tens of thousands of people in the future.

He knew that he was not a genius, whether in research, politics or economics, so he needed corrections from others.

Too heavy a cult of personality would suppress the thoughts of others.

Now it is better to withdraw and let Dawn grow wildly within the framework.

As the helmsman, what he needs to do is to control the direction and ensure that the big ship of Dawn will not capsize in a wave.

——

September 1st.

The Hogwarts Express stopped at Platform 9 and 3/4 of King’s Cross Station on time.

This is also the first year that Harry has his relatives to see him off at the beginning of school.

If the former godfather can be considered a relative.

Rushing through the hidden Platform 9 and 3/4, Sirius pushed the luggage cart and silently sent Harry to the front of the train.

“Harry, after sending you off today, I will go to Siberia. I heard that they are recruiting wizards to explore the ruins.

The house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place is also left to you. It will be more convenient for you to live here after you graduate. The community planning of Muggles is still good.

By the way, if you have a chance, don’t forget to call me a few times…”

Sirius was a little nagging. He had never said so much since his good friend James Potter passed away.

Harry was silent for a while. He didn’t know what to say. He raised his head slightly. His green pupils looked through the lens at this godfather who was appointed by his father.

“Emm, Mr. Black,” when Harry’s voice came out, Sirius’ eyes dimmed suddenly.

Harry’s heart softened. In the past year, he really regarded Sirius as his father. He felt the care from Sirius that he had never felt in the past ten years.

But what can he do? Gretel left a memory of Snape in Harry’s mind, who was willing to sacrifice his life for him.

That restrained but ardent love is much warmer than the warmth of the intermittent relationship with Sirius in this timeline.

In fact, if we switch to the original world line, how can we compare the contributions of Sirius and Snape?

They both gave their lives for Harry, and there is no distinction between life and status.

But there is no way, who made Sirius not Gretel’s teacher? Gretel wants to make up for the regret of her teacher.

Sirius is just an indifferent passerby.

Moreover, Gretel brought Lily Evans’ soul back to the world, and Lily Evans had a lot of opinions about Sirius.

The child entrusted by the couple suffered more than ten years of contempt and never had a peaceful day.

Even escaping from prison, the first purpose was revenge.

If it was James Potter who returned to the world, Harry would not have to be so entangled.

Even if Gretel left him the memory of Professor Snape, his father would not deprive his good brother of his godfather status.

“Mr. Black, that is your house. I am not eligible to inherit it.

If possible, let’s try not to contact each other. You know my mother. She hopes that I can keep my distance from you.

Also, my current godfather is Snape, Severus Snape.”

Sirius was speechless for a moment. To be honest, if Dumbledore hadn’t confirmed that the soul was really Lily, he would never believe it.

After all, Lily was so gentle at the time. Like Potter, she had already been his relative.

Thinking of what Lily Evans said on the day she took Harry away from No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius gave up struggling.

Indeed, he had not fulfilled his godfather’s responsibilities.

Now that Harry has his mother again, he doesn’t need a sinner like him to continue wandering in this sad land.

But from time to time, he would always ask himself with doubts: “If I hadn’t strongly recommended Wormtail as a secret keeper, would everything be different?”

——

Sirius looked sad and remained silent, while Harry waved his wand and boarded the train with a pile of floating luggage.

Ron and Hermione were the fifth-year prefects of Gryffindor. They were responsible for the reception of freshmen, and Harry had to find a good seat for them.

Ron couldn’t wait to tell him the news on the day he received the letter to start school at Hogwarts.

On that day, Mrs. Molly specially prepared a big meal for Ron, and Ron finally got rid of his bottom-of-the-barrel status in the family.

Shortly after the train started, Ron found the compartment where Harry was and rushed in directly.

Hermione followed him, frowning, “Ron, as a prefect, you should set a good example for the freshmen. Can’t you calm down?”

Ron rolled his eyes at her and went straight to Harry’s face, “Harry, look into my eyes and tell me, what you told me during the holidays, that your godfather has become Snape, is this true?

I have been holding this question in my heart for more than half a month. If my parents hadn’t said that you had something else recently and forbade me to come to your house to disturb you, I would have come to your house to verify it.”

Ron stared at Harry without blinking after he finished speaking. He really couldn’t believe that Snape, who always had his mouth corners down and could only tease others from his teeth, would become Harry’s godfather.

Let’s not talk about his reason, just talk about Harry, he clearly remembered that Harry said that Snape was the person he hated the most.

How did these two people, who were more like enemies than teachers and students, get involved?

Although Hermione didn’t say anything, her equally wide eyes and sideways ears showed her curiosity to the fullest.

Harry swallowed and nodded, “Yes, my godfather is now Professor Snape.”

For a moment, Ron even forgot to breathe. After a long time, he turned his head silently to Hermione.

“Hermione, can you slap me and tell me that I’m actually dreaming.”

Hermione was also in shock. After hearing Ron’s words, she shook her head and sat down.

“Harry, what happened during this holiday? Tell me about it.”

Ron also sat down next to Harry, looking at him blankly.

“It’s all about Gretel.”

When they heard this name, their expressions changed instantly.

Ron was entangled with a secret joy. When Gretel quit Hogwarts last school year, he was also shocked at first.

Later, many people called Gretel the biggest traitor in the history of Hogwarts.

Someone even went to the Hogwarts honor cabinet late at night and put a traitor’s sign next to Gretel’s personal contribution award.

Ron didn’t care. He didn’t care whether Gretel was a traitor or not, nor did he care whether he wanted to overthrow the wizarding world.

He only cared that he didn’t have to worry about Gretel stealing Harry’s best friend’s position from him.

He was secretly happy about it until today, when he heard the name that sounded like a nightmare again.

For a moment, Ron’s throat became a little dry, and he hesitantly squeezed out a sentence, “Harry, do you mean Mike Gretel?”

Harry nodded very decisively, “Yes, I met him during the holiday, and he helped me find my mother.”

Hermione’s eyes were confused all of a sudden, “Harry, I remember, your mother was born on the day you were born…”

“Yes, when Gretel helped me remove Voldemort’s soul, he found my mother’s soul in me…”

…

Harry talked for a long time before he completely sorted out what happened during the holiday from beginning to end.

Ron leaned back in his seat with lifeless eyes, as if all his strength had been drained out.

He murmured silently, “It’s over. I can’t be Harry’s best friend anymore.”

Hermione, on the other side, frowned, holding a notebook, her nails beating rhythmically on the leather cover.

In the center of the notebook, there was a leaflet of Dawn that Penelope had thrown away.

She wanted to find Gretel in person and ask him why he didn’t develop himself into a part of Dawn. Was it because she, Hermione Granger, was not worthy?

That day, the professors seemed to have encountered a flood and beast, and asked everyone to hand in the leaflet of Dawn.

She handed it in, but not all of it.

With the flickering firelight, she saw the sentence at a glance, allowing everyone to walk freely in the sun, regardless of wizards and Muggles.

She was immediately moved, so when Professor McGonagall asked her if there were any leaflets that had not been handed in, she chose to lie and lied that she had handed them all in.

Just as she thought, the professor would not doubt a well-behaved student like her.

After that, she secretly studied all the books that Gret had studied.

She had this memory, and she remembered all the books that Gret had read in the library in front of her.

Many of them were related to the relationship between wizards and Muggles, but she only wanted to surpass Gret in the past, so she didn’t study too much of these books that had little effect on her grades.

The more she studied, the more she felt that Dawn’s initiative was right.

For this reason, she temporarily put aside the development of the House Elf Association.

Gret was right, people have limited energy, and in a limited life, it is the wisest thing to put all your energy on the most important things.

Now, she wants to put the energy she used to fight for the freedom and treatment of house elves into fighting for the freedom of wizards to walk in the sun.
