#156 - No. 15 Weasley, come to my bowl!

Plans for the future?

I have many. My most recent plan is to make Penelope my girlfriend.

Then, I'll continue to study hard and strive to become the student council president in seventh grade.

Percy picked up his Coke and took a sip, then enthusiastically told Sebastian about his plans for sixth and seventh grade.

"Student council president, not bad!" Sebastian nodded with a smile. "What about after graduation?"

"How do you plan your life after graduation?"

Percy answered Sebastian firmly without thinking.

"Professor Swan, I hope to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation and gradually rise to senior management positions."

"I'm not afraid to admit that I uphold power, like power, and want to gain power."

"There's nothing to laugh at, everyone has their own pursuits." Sebastian smiled lightly. "Can you tell me the reason for making this choice?"

"Of course." A hint of reminiscence appeared on Percy's face.

"I think the initial idea came from my parents' expectations."

"In my parents' eyes, working at the Ministry of Magic is the most respectable job in the entire magical world."

"Before me, they had always advised my older brothers Bill and Charlie to work in the Ministry of Magic."

"It's just that my two older brothers love freedom and adventure, and don't like the Ministry of Magic's nine-to-five, unchanging work."

"In the end, Bill went to Egypt to become a curse-breaker, and Charlie went to the Romanian dragon sanctuary."

"Now, my parents' expectations rest on me."

Speaking of this, Percy smiled knowingly: "To be honest, among the children in our family who are still in school, only my personality is more suitable for working in the Ministry of Magic."

"Fred and George are the two most outgoing people among all our siblings. Asking them to work in the Ministry of Magic would definitely be more painful than killing them."

"On this point, I have a hunch that Mom's wish for them to enter the Ministry of Magic will be in vain."

"As for Ron," Percy shook his head with a smile, "I don't know what will happen in the future."

"From the current point of view, his grades are likely not up to the admission requirements of the Ministry of Magic."

"The only possibility is to enter the Auror Office and become an Auror."

"As for our little sister Ginny, whom you just met, I can't say yet whether she wants to enter the Ministry of Magic."

Speaking of Ginny, Percy's face was full of doting: "Personally, I prefer her to do whatever she wants when she grows up."

Understood, Percy was first influenced by his parents, and then he had the idea of working in the Ministry of Magic.

Then he has been demanding himself according to the standards of entering the Ministry of Magic.

That's right, unlike his other brothers, Percy likes order, so he appears more serious, more persistent, and his ambition is more obvious.

Sebastian had always suspected that the Sorting Hat had surname discrimination, and when he saw that Percy was born into the Weasley family, he sorted him into Gryffindor.

To be honest, Percy's personality is obviously more suitable for Slytherin, or at least Ravenclaw.

Sebastian smiled at Percy and continued to ask, "Are there any other reasons that make you want to pursue power?"

"Yes!" Percy's voice was a little sighing, "If I said that it was my parents' influence at first, then what made me firm in this idea later was poverty."

"Although our Weasley family enjoys a good reputation in the magical world, our economic situation has not been good."

"Or rather, as a large family, our family's life is very tight."

"I remember very clearly that when Ron entered school last year, he couldn't even afford a new wand, and he was still using Charlie's old wand."

"Speaking of this, I have to thank you, Professor, for proposing the work-study program." Percy looked at Sebastian, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Ron applied for a work-study position in the dueling hall, and bought a new wand with his own salary."

"He didn't show off in front of us during the summer vacation this year."

Percy's expression slowly became firm.

"The poverty of the family has made me feel huge pressure since I was a child. I am very eager to improve the family's economic situation through personal efforts and provide better living conditions for my family."

"And becoming a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic is the best way to improve the family's destiny."

"A great ambition," Sebastian nodded approvingly.

Now Percy's mind is still very pure, and all he is thinking about is changing the fate of his family.

It's just that after entering the Ministry of Magic later, he was overwhelmed by reality, and in order to pursue power, the whole person fell deeper and deeper.

Until he deviated from his original intention and turned against his family.

Thinking of this, Sebastian asked gently: "Which department are you planning to go to in the Ministry of Magic?"

"The Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Percy blurted out, "Or the Department of International Magical Cooperation is also good."

Sebastian was noncommittal about Percy's answer: "Have you ever thought about a question?"

"Your father is a marginal figure in the Ministry of Magic. After you enter the Ministry of Magic, it can be said that you have no background, and everything can only rely on yourself."

"If you just become an ordinary employee, of course it doesn't matter."

"But, your ambition is far more than that, you want to become a superior person, a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic."

"Without any connections, how long will it take you to climb up?"

Alas......

Percy sighed heavily in his heart.

He also knew that what Sebastian said was all reality.

Without a background, it is really too difficult to get ahead in the Ministry of Magic.

Percy's face was a little pale: "Even if it's more difficult, I will slowly climb up."

"I will work harder than others, and even, I can directly treat the Ministry of Magic as my home."

"I believe that the leaders will see my efforts and then promote me."

Hearing this, Sebastian said with a smile.

"Have you ever thought that in the Ministry of Magic, every promotion is a carrot in a pit."

"Why can you guarantee that the position will fall on your head, and not a relative of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic?"

Why can you guarantee?

To be honest, he can't guarantee anything.

If his father was not a marginal figure in the Ministry of Magic, he could guarantee that he would get a fair competition.

But......

Percy smiled wryly.

He also knew that he couldn't get ahead by simply working hard.

If you want to climb up in the Ministry of Magic, it all depends on the appreciation of the leaders.

Just as Percy was frustrated, Sebastian said with a smile.

"Percy, I admire you very much."

"You are very similar to me when I was young, with the same clear goals and the same ambition."

"After you graduate, I can help you become a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic."

"It's just that you have to agree to my conditions."

"Are you willing to listen?"

......
