Chapter 459 Percy Takes Office
Everyone ate in a hurry and gathered in Bill's room to discuss the matter. Soon they heard the sound of things being thrown downstairs again.
"I always feel like something is wrong about this matter." George frowned and said thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Bill looked at George in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
"Think about it, Percy is not stupid, how could he not know about the mysterious man's return?" Fred took over and analyzed carefully: "Then why did he deliberately go against his father and choose to side with the magic? Which side?"
"Why?" Ronald scratched his head and looked at Fred and George with confusion, "I don't understand what you mean.
"Because Percy, this guy, has too much desire for power."
Ginny suddenly said, surprising everyone.
As a girl and the youngest child of the Weasley family, she had never participated in such serious discussions in the past. At most, she just stayed on the sidelines and listened.
Doing important things and making decisions have always been men's business - this is the tradition of the Weasley family.
Even their mother Molly, who was usually so strong, would not listen to Arthur in foreign affairs.
But Ginny broke that tradition this time.
She commented on Percy with a hint of disdain: "He has always wanted to climb up to 02 and become the Minister of Magic. Now that there is an opportunity for him to become the Assistant Minister of Magic, of course he will not let it pass."
"So, for this position, he did not hesitate to fall out with his father or even leave our family?" Ronald's eyes widened and he looked at his sister in disbelief.
"That's right." Ginny sighed helplessly, "He must have been very frustrated in recent months. You know, he has always wanted to prove his ability and become the best in the family. So this This time he chose to side with the Ministry of Magic, which was more beneficial to him."
"That's crazy!" Ronald waved his hands angrily, "How could he treat his family like this? Are power and status really that important to him?"
"Don't be so surprised." Ginny glanced at Ronald lightly, "Everyone has his own ambitions."
"Hasn't Dad thought about these issues?"
Bill suddenly realized something, looked at Fred and George with strange eyes, and finally stared at Ginny, "How did you think of so much?"
His eyes lingered especially long on Ginny.
This youngest sister seems to have just entered Hogwarts yesterday, but now she is analyzing the problem in a clear and coherent manner - which is a bit disrespectful to say - much smarter than Tisley.
"Don't look at me like that," Ginny shook her head gently, raising the corners of her mouth slightly with a warm smile, "If you are like us and stay with Levin every day and learn from him, you can also learn a little bit. of his wisdom.”
Speaking of Levin, Ginny's eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Is this really true?" Ronald looked at his sister in shock.
Why didn't he know that Levin also had this effect?
.......It seems to have this effect.
At least two years ago, he would not have believed that Hermione could win the Triwizard Tournament in her fourth year.
"Ginny really learned a lot from Levin. She is the management of the Erudite Society."
Fred shrugged and said, "To get back to the subject, Percy is always a greedy guy, so I'm not surprised at all that he would do something like this. After all, in his eyes, power and status are the most important."
"Actually, many issues are closely related to interests." Ginny took over the conversation and patiently explained to several people, "The same is true for the conflict between Fudge and Dumbledore. Dumbledore's actions will threaten Fudge's ministerial status. This kind of thing Fudge Naturally, it was intolerable. In order to preserve his power and status, Fudge could only use any means to discredit Dumbledore and Harry and deny the fact that the mysterious man had been resurrected.
"But..." Ronald wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fred.
"There is nothing good about it." George interrupted, "A person like Fudge will never tolerate losing his position as a minister, because it will greatly harm his interests. As for a big thing like the mysterious man's resurrection, in his eyes I’m afraid it’s not as important as your own power.”
"That's why Levin plans to support his own forces to control the Ministry of Magic." Ginny spread her hands and said, "These politicians only know how to fight for power and gain, and don't care about the safety of the entire magical world. How can you do good politics with these insects? ?”
After leaving the Weasley's house, Percy did not go looking for those familiar faces, but returned to the Ministry of Magic and went straight to the second floor.
This is the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the headquarters of Jaina's faction.
There, he found Penelope Crevat, the goddess he had once loved.
"Penello, I've thought about it." Percy's eyes were firm and without any hesitation, "I am willing to accept your conditions and work for you.
In his view, since you want to take sides and place bets, you must be decisive and sincere in your attitude.
Otherwise, it is easy to get into trouble and not be able to get over it.
Penello still had the same calm attitude, "Okay, on behalf of Gianna, I accept your allegiance. From now on, you will be one of us."
But what she said next made Percy feel uncomfortable:
"According to Ms. Gianna's request, your superior will be me from now on. I will be responsible for connecting with you, receiving your intelligence, arranging tasks and work for you, and also responsible for providing you with help."
Percy froze.
He didn't expect that the goddess he once pursued would become his superior, and he felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.
He still remembers that when he stopped his tireless pursuit of Penello, it was because he discovered that Penello had some ambiguity with Levin.
But even so, the two were still embarrassed for each other when they met again after a year.
Suddenly, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although this feeling is really weird.
But...what the heck.
The ambiguous relationship between Penello and Levin shows that even though her position is low, she holds a relatively core position in the Jaina faction.
And being able to become her subordinate will undoubtedly pave the way for his future promotion.
So he immediately showed a smiling face and said, "Yes, Miss Crevat, please don't worry, I won't let you down.
However, after he swore allegiance to Jaina's faction, he did not make a contribution immediately. 567
Instead, Penelo had to help him.
Soon, with the help of Penello, the news that Percy had fallen out with his family quickly spread within the Ministry of Magic, and finally fell into the ears of Fudge.
Just as Percy expected, the Minister of Magic did not lose confidence in Percy because he could no longer fulfill the task of monitoring the Weasleys and Dumbledore, nor did he drive him away from the position of assistant to the Minister.
In Fudge's eyes, Percy's move undoubtedly expressed his firm loyalty to the Ministry of Magic and himself with practical actions.
After all, it takes great determination and courage to abandon your family and choose to side with the Ministry of Magic.
This determination and courage are exactly what Fudge admires.
What made Po look at him in the first place was just Fudge's whim.
Fudge's real core need for Percy is his political ability.
What he really needs is a loyal and reliable assistant who can share the work for him.
Percy originally met Fudge's requirements in terms of ability, but now his loyalty is guaranteed.
So what are you waiting for? Just take over.
At least, that's what Fudge thought.
As the saying goes, "People are separated from each other, and they don't know what to do." It's really hard to say what the actual situation is.
