Chapter 461: A Changed Life

Ephelia Sdoji was a good friend of Albus during school, he wrote a eulogy for Albus Dumbledore, and participated in the wedding of Bill and Fleur, once with Lupine, Tonks, Kingsley Shaker and others sent Harry to 12 Grimmauld Place.

But he disappeared, Severus couldn't find him in the wizarding world, please Justin's father to help find him, he is already an old man, and he is not like Ollivander who is a master wand maker, kidnapping such a What is the use of people.

His greatest value was the experience of traveling the world with Albus Dumbledore, and no one but the two of them knew where they went.

Rita Kistor once interviewed him, but her comment on Dorje was that she wanted him to fall off the high hippodrome, and she later used Veritaserum while interviewing Brazil da Bagshot, digging out There are a lot of wild stories, but no matter how fierce the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is, it is not as shocking.

In The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore she wrote: In the list of the most dangerous dark wizards in ancient and modern times, if Grindelwald failed to top the list, it was only because the mysterious people of the younger generation came from behind and took the place. crown.

Grindelwald was an excellent orator, but also a prophet and liar, and he opposed the International Statute of Secrecy.

Churchill's speeches can still be heard in his hometown, Hitler's speeches are hard to find now, Gellert Grindelwald's speeches are not many, but some have been handed down.

After Grindelwald was arrested by the U.S. Congress, he once questioned Serafina Picquery face to face:

That law (International Statute of Secrecy) makes us like rats committed to the sewer! The law that requires us to hide our true selves! That law, to make those who govern cower in fear, lest we should be exposed! I ask you, Your Excellency the President—I want to ask you—who is this law intended to protect? It's us?

There are various loopholes in the laws made by humans, and one of the reasons why the International Statute of Secrecy was passed is that Muggle laws cannot protect the interests of wizards. Parvasil Dumbledore is a victim, and his daughter was hurt by Muggles Now, he can't even avenge her. On the basis of this injustice, Arthur's Muggle protection law is even worse.

During the Reign of Terror, dark wizards didn't regard Muggles as human beings at all. If he liked a certain house, he could go in directly, kill the Muggles, throw their bodies to werewolves, and then he could live in it himself.

Even if it is not for the purpose of encroaching on property, killing directly like hunting, out of the pity of the strong for the weak, Muggle protection laws are necessary.

But when Muggles get back to the madness of 14th century witch hunts and attack wizarding children, then Muggles don't need to be protected anymore.

Although Arthur legislated to protect Muggles, in fact he is not very good at Muggle life, and Lucius Malfoy is a good hand at enslaving and manipulating Muggles, but in the eyes of the albino snake, Muggles are like ants Well, relying on the population of wizards alone can't make much money.

His family's ancestors had dealt with Muggles from the beginning, and the Malfoy family clearly divided the poor Muggles from the rich and powerful Muggles. For hundreds of years, they annexed the land of their Muggle neighbors to expand their fiefs in Wales, and achieved unimpeded convenience in the Muggle world by maintaining good relations with the royal family.

This is not a legend. Pomona and the others now live in a luxury apartment in South Kensington, which is a ten-minute walk from the Royal Palace where the British royal family lives. In the words of Dexter Fusco, one of the late headmasters, the current justice system at the Ministry of Magic is eye-opening.

Knowing the law and breaking the law, enforcing the law, and making deals with criminals, Igor Karkaroff's big trial was one of them. Later, Fudge planned to bring down Dumbledore. At that time, there was a wizard named Willie Wiedersing, and he liked it very much. Playing tricks on Muggles, making the toilet sewage back up in the area where Muggles are active. As a result, there was a problem with the spell and he was seriously injured. He made a deal with the Ministry of Magic while St. Mungo was receiving treatment, and was responsible for monitoring Abufu in the Pig's Head Bar Well, Da happened to be gathering at the Pig's Head pub at this time, so Umbridge knew the existence of such a secret society in Hogwarts for the first time, and Willie was thus saved from prosecution.

Even the Ministry of Magic had to back down because of reports of discord, Voldemort's return and what was going on at Hogwarts in the wizarding community.

With the end of the war, everyone's position has been changed. Originally in the small office on the sixth floor, Arthur, the small director of the Department of Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Items, has been transferred to the Ministry of Magic's Executive Department.

According to Harry, he didn't even want to be the head of the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Department, he just wanted to be an Auror, but because of the name of the savior, he almost became the Minister of Magic, and he couldn't refuse anyway. Only when he became the director.

A Quidditch boy who didn't learn the history of magic well and had to be reminded by Hermione of his own family history, how could he understand those legal provisions? Arthur once wrote laws, and he was such a warm and kind person, Harry felt that Arthur could be trusted.

Arthur is a good dad and he will do everything he can to protect his son, especially after Fred died, Ron and Harry driving that Anglia car to school is being used by Dumbledore Muggles The loopholes in the protection law were settled, and the antitrust charges jointly initiated by George's business competitors, Honey Duke and Joko Joke Shop were also settled by Arthur.

He had a bad reputation in the ministry, and the careers of his eldest son, Bill, and second son, Charlie, had been affected, and now the judgment was even more affected. But because their family is a war hero, Bill was transferred back to Gringotts from Egypt, and Charlie also returned to England from Romania through this time dealing with Roberta.

Arthur is indeed a good father, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is no different from those officials who use power for personal gain. A good judge must be as ruthless and selfless as old Buddy Crouch. Judge, Arthur is a kind man. He is not suitable to be a judge. What's worse, he also turned out the original Marlene McKinnon case. He has offended too many people, and all the cases he handles may be Some people were dissatisfied. After the victory of the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance, the Dark Wizard family was hit hard. How could the Dark Wizard be so easy to mess with, so he was assassinated.

Transfiguration is a specialty of Gryffindor College, because Albus was once the head of Transfiguration, so Transfiguration is a famous white magic.

"Transfiguration Today" is an academic journal on the latest developments in the field of Transfiguration. Albus published several papers in this magazine during his school days. Bathilda Bagshot appreciated these papers very much. Taking this as an opportunity to get acquainted with Albus Dumbledore's family, Dumbledore has been a loyal reader of this journal before 1991.

It was also in this year that Harry returned to the wizarding world, and he no longer renewed the book. In the 1950s, Minerva won the most promising newcomer award for this book and became a teacher of the Transfiguration class at Hogwarts. Later, she will revise articles for this magazine in her spare time.

Later, she became the principal of Hogwarts, and she had no time to read magazines anymore. The tendency of "Transfiguration Today" began to change. The article began to teach wizards how to guard against Muggles, and sometimes even exchanged Muggle alarms for free. This kind of magic device will sound an alarm when non-magic people touch it. It is similar to the Screaming Curse. After all, it is the boss who pays the editor, and he can write whatever articles the boss asks.

The power of money showed its claws at this time, lost its spiritual leader, and had no ability. The core publications of the Anti-Dark Magic League were occupied by people and no one noticed it. Fortunately, the Daily Prophet still belongs to magic. Ministry, the report is relatively objective and fair, but if you continue to "carnival" without vigilance, you will definitely lose the game.

"Jingle Bell"

The doorbell of the store rang, and Pomona, who was reading a magazine, put down "Transfiguration Today" in her hand, and two more wizards came in.

Severus took the white oil essence Kreacher wanted from the shopkeeper, without a hint of joy on his face.

"We came out to play, why is our mood getting worse?" Pomona asked.

"I want to live in seclusion." He said grimly with black smoke all over his body.

"No, you don't want to." Pomona said with a smile, "How about we find someone to tease?"

He had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time.

"Who?" The finally great "Sir" who won the Order of Merlin opened his mouth.

Pomona began to count the annoying people, and what other ways to tease.

"I was thinking about Lockhart, but he's got amnesia..."

"Why can't you play tricks on a few Muggles?" the ex-Death Eater interrupted her.

"No." Pomona shrugged. "I finally understand the importance of you now. It is more challenging to play tricks on you. Playing tricks on Muggles is bullying."

"Damn it," Severus said with disgust. "You thought that was funny?"

"I'm very tired, how about going back to rest?" She said listlessly, "Or go to the store opened in Astonia, the sweets will make people feel happy."

With a sullen face, he took her hand and left the pharmacy.
