This is an extremely unique moment, when all forces seem to have become quiet.
Although everything seemed to be calm again, the scene of the battle between Anton and Voldemort was spread to various places through various magical videos and letters, and gradually spread, and all forces were ready to move.
Voldemort is back, and he is a sane Voldemort. This news is as if the entire wizarding world will explode.
An undercurrent is surging.
Although Dumbledore retreated to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and reduced his outings, well-informed people could still detect the actions of the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Especially in the Ministry of Magic, you can clearly see that Director Lupine, Director Arthur, old Auror Kinless and other important figures frequently travel.
Pure-blood families are also taking action.
But they have too many choices.
Voldemort has returned, Grindelwald is making vague moves, and Director Anthony Weasley is powerful enough to fight Voldemort.
However, everyone found that meeting Director Weasley may be more difficult than meeting Dumbledore.
So Fudge, the Minister of Magic, became a good candidate. This minister seemed to have abandoned his original background and turned his back on Dumbledore to join Anthony Weasley.
Don't think that it would be embarrassing to take refuge in a child. Although no one says it, the belief that the strong is respected has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For example, Merlin, whom everyone often talks about, or Dumbledore, who is currently the most powerful.
The Ministry of Magic is not a force. At least for the British Ministry of Magic, the former hegemon of the wizarding world, it has always been a platform for all forces to compete and demonstrate their strength.
Fudge is taking the opportunity to expand his own strength, and other forces are also expanding crazily.
It is said that the Auror Office has relaxed the requirements for the recruitment of Auror members and began to consider some people in society. This made Minister Fudge, who had been working to reduce the Auror budget, very angry. He went to the Auror Office in person to argue with Director Slytherin.
One.
He even shouted shockingly, "Don't think I don't know that you have taken refuge in Grindelwald!"
Don't mention it, since this idiot said such words indiscriminately, not only has the budget reduction plan of the Auror Office not been passed, but there has also been an inexplicable increase in private donations. Some people even submitted a proposal to "increase Auror funding".
Office budget plan, planning document.
It is said that Fudge was so angry that he was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies to recuperate and has still not come out.
Of course, there are also some people who are secretly spreading rumors that Fudge is going to run away - because Azkaban accidentally leaked a "programme" that is still being discussed.
This program is unusual. In addition to re-emphasizing the idea of 'pure-blood supremacy', it also adds the words 'wizards are supremacy' and 'tolerance of Muggle wizards, squibs, and Muggle squibs'.
In the program, wizards are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Although it still emphasizes the inferiority of Muggles, Squibs, and Muggle-Squibs, it also recognizes them as members of the wizarding community.
Not only that, there are also rumors spreading in the market that the Dark Lord plans to evaluate the 'Golden Family' in the future.
Different from the "Twenty-Eight Sacred Pure Blood Clan", which pursues pure blood, the "Golden Family" prefers to choose wizards with powerful strength and the contributions they will make in the future.
To put it simply, Muggle-born wizards also have the opportunity to reach the top of the wizarding world!
This is incredible!
You know, even Dumbledore, who has been talking about wanting peace and accepting marrow wizards, there are only pure-blood wizards and mixed-blood wizards in his Order of the Phoenix!
This is almost the norm in the wizarding world at this stage.
In the history of magic, the only Muggle wizard who could climb to a high position was Nobridge. He became the Minister of Magic in 1962. But he did almost nothing, and a large number of Ministry of Magic staff opposed him.
He submitted his resignation letter, and any orders he received became a joke, and he eventually contracted a terrible mysterious disease and resigned.
And this magic
The minister's family, the Rich family, is still in a very low social class in the wizarding world.
Countless Muggle-born wizards have quietly gone to Azkaban, and with the news of their safe return, an undercurrent gradually began to surge.
But at the center of all this storm, Azkaban, there has been no news for a long time.
It is said that the battle between the Dark Lord Voldemort and his student Anthony Weasley aggravated his unrecovered injuries.
This news sounds like it is full of opportunities that are difficult to announce, but in fact, no one dares to move.
The injured Dark Lord Voldemort, Grindelwald who has been imprisoned for more than 40 years and does not know how much strength he has left, and Dumbledore who says every day that he will die at any time and is almost dead...
It is still an existence that everyone needs to look up to.
No one dares to provoke him.
And the new generation Anthony Weasley seems to be in a very delicate state. Not only does he claim to be a student of Voldemort, he is also a student of Dumbledore, and there are even rumors that he is also a student of Grindelwald.
Oh, don't even talk about students.
There are too many forces displaying Anthony's photos, and those dazzling blue eyes look so familiar.
Not to mention that Anthony's mother was born in the pure-blood Bagshot family. Gellert Grindelwald's great-aunt, Bathilda Bagshot, the wizarding world's top wizarding historian, still lives in Godry.
What about the Ke Valley?
They are relatives!
Although there are relatives everywhere in the wizarding world, but their eyes look like this, don’t they all have eyes?
With the actions of Minister of Magic Fudge and the establishment of the Animagus Office, everyone is quietly waiting for this powerful wizard who also seems to have ambitions to elaborate on his 'programme.
After all, this is the originator of the concept of "Muggle Squibs".
Yes, the source that turned the whole world into this is this boy!
When the trial was held at the Ministry of Magic last year, none of the masters thought that this second-year student, the little wizard, who was imprisoned in Azkaban, would turn the whole world into this.
Just like this, when everyone was secretly thinking about when the Dark Lord Voldemort would recover, gather all forces and declare war on the Muggles, Anthony Weasley finally had news!
One of his papers completely set off the entire undercurrent.
————"Beware of war with Muggles, a 'witch-hunting race will be born!"
The essay is published on the front page of Hogwarts Weekly. Oh, or this issue of the magazine is dedicated to publishing this essay.
On the cover of the weekly magazine, there are a few extremely subversive words printed on it:
——All humans have magical powers.
——The birth of wizards stems from the desire of the human race for magic.
————The influence of human collective consciousness, including wizards, dementors, black magic creatures, ghosts, etc.
——Human collective consciousness also affects the magic of nature. Tapping into the deep desires of human instinct is the shortcut to the master of magic.
————When Muggles know the existence of wizards, are slaughtered by wizards, and face war, their collective consciousness will tend to desire equal magical power to contain wizards. The huge magic power they gather will allow nature to give birth to "witch hunts"
Race,!
…
Although it seems to be all about in-depth discussion of magic, everyone has an extremely strong feeling - Anthony Weasley is facing off against Voldemort!
Merlin's beard!
Voldemort has changed, and he will embrace all forces in the wizarding world and launch a war against Muggles.
But Anthony Weasley made a statement that launching a war against Muggles would have dire consequences.
No, even letting Muggles know about the existence of wizards will have such consequences!
Boom~
It suddenly detonated the entire wizarding world.
Don't even care
Some political bigwigs were also exposed by this paper, and fierce debates arose around this topic.
Even Nicoléme, the oldest living person, said with a smile when being interviewed by reporters that he planned to re-refine the Philosopher's Stone to continue living and see the magical world in the future.
A large number of meetings were held. Some people were busy defining Anton as a "protector of the Secrecy Act", while others were more focused on the study of magic and exploring whether the theory proposed by Anton was correct.
This view of his is not groundless.
At least the Ministry of Magic, oh, it should be said that dating back to the era of the Wizards Council, the top wizard bosses have been organizing and compiling some stories from the wizarding world into fairy tales to spread to the Muggle world!
Even many of the 'strange legends' that were specifically spread to the Muggle world can be traced back to ancient times.
The most eye-catching among them belongs to the super-top wizard——Merlin!
Even Muggle civilians know that there is such a powerful wizard!
This seems to be something difficult to understand under the background that the Statute of Secrecy has been implemented for nearly three hundred years and wizards are committed to decoupling themselves from the Muggle world.
And Anton’s paper gives the answer!
————” I guess that the story of Master Merlin has spread to the point where the whole world knows it. When the entire human race is threatened and annihilated, the powerful magic brought by the collective desire for the emergence of the savior
, as long as someone gives a little guidance, Master Merlin will be resurrected!"
————" He is the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world. He is friendly to Muggles, protects Muggles, maintains the order of Muggles themselves, and protects wizards from the influence of witch-hunting movements. Such a popular image of Merlin,
It is extremely easy to be recognized by all races."
that's all……
The argument for maintaining the staunch enforcement of the "Secret Act" once again overshadowed the imminent move from Azkaban.
People talked about Anton's ideas on various occasions, and even vaguely portrayed Anton as the patron saint of the "Secrecy Act".
This all seems extremely reasonable. As long as you think about Anthony Weasley's collaborator Fudge, who himself is a vested interest in the Statute of Secrecy, everything seems to make sense.
However……
Just when everyone is imagining the future wizarding world where Anthony Weasley's forces and Voldemort's forces are fighting each other, tit for tat...
"Hogwarts Weekly" is fresh again.
It is still only Anthony's paper.
————"Discussion on the impact that the development of Muggle technology will have on the magical aspect of the entire wizarding world"
————(Content abbreviated, see Chapter 669 for details)
so……
Did Anthony Weasley advocate war against Muggles? Or even stop Muggles from continuing to research technology?
Almost everyone is deceived. What do you mean?
But anyway, this paper seems to be quite reasonable...
"What on earth is he going to do?" Kingsley Shacklebolt raised this question with a frown during an attack by the Order of the Phoenix in a secret stronghold. In front of him was a curled-up copy of "Hogg"
Watts Weekly, a magazine that seems to be full of his own opinions.
"Haha..." Arthur took the hot milk from his wife and laughed out loud. "Based on my understanding of Anton, he might really just want to discuss magic."
Facing Kingsley's disbelieving look, he shrugged, "He is a typical Weasley and doesn't like politics!"
Kingsley raised his eyebrows, it seemed that this was really possible. You know, although the Order of the Phoenix also has its own political demands, in fact, most of its members followed Dumbledore rather than gathering for political demands.
Next to Dumbledore.
"But……"
He still found it incomprehensible, "Isn't he afraid of others misunderstanding? You know, now everyone is in a panic and trying to distinguish between friends and foes."
"Maybe you're not afraid after all!" Mad-Eye Moody took a sip of beer.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He smacked his mouth, disgusted that this was tasteless, put down the cup and reached into his pocket to touch the wine bottle, "He is someone who even dares to confront the mysterious person head-on.
, it doesn’t matter what others think of him.”
Oh, I want to explain that although everyone is not afraid to talk about the name Voldemort, they still continue to use the name "Mysterious Man" because they will be induced to locate this secret stronghold.
They are all experienced warriors and will not expose this stronghold just for the sake of the so-called "I am not afraid of him."
"Lupin, what do you think?" Kingsley turned to look at Lupin.
Lu Ping's shy face was full of smiles, "He just wants to have fun. I know it. There is no need to talk about Anton anymore. We expect him to stand up and fight against the mysterious man who launches a war. This kind of thing,
It's not within his scope of consideration at all."
even……
Lupine had a vague feeling that Anton's favorite situation was when Muggles and wizards were fighting. It was neither for the rule of wizards nor to protect the "Secrecy Act", but simply to have more fun.
However, he did not want the members of the Order of the Phoenix to discuss more about his godson, so his expression became serious, "Everyone, today's topic is, Barty Crouch Jr. returned to Crouch last night
The Qi family manor is looking for old Batty."
"Ha, when it comes to this, it's simply ridiculous. Father and son are fighting each other. It is said that if their house elf hadn't run away with old Barty, Old Crouch would have died last night." Mad-Eye took a sip of wine and sneered.
He said, "Old Barty seemed to be completely desperate. He turned into a werewolf and bit little Barty. If he hadn't escaped quickly, one of his legs would have been bitten off."
Arthur was stunned for a moment, obviously he had just heard the news, and couldn't help but ask, "So, can Barty Crouch Sr. be an ally we can win over?"
Kingsley still frowned, "We have to consider that this may be an act, the Crouch family intends to have two boats, or it is simply Barty Sr. who wants to be a spy for his son's future development. It is possible."
"You know, Old Barty has a reason to be moved by the idea of the 'Golden Family' put forward by the mysterious man."
"He only has such a son, and he himself has no chance to go further in the Ministry of Magic. If he turns to the mysterious man at this time, not only will he have the opportunity to become the Minister of Magic he has always wanted, but he will also have the opportunity to make Crow
The Qi family simultaneously became the "Holy Twenty-Eight Pureblood Family" and the "Golden Family."
"How ridiculous!" Mad-Eye said sarcastically, "Back then, Barty Sr. was firmly against You-Know-Who's forces!"
"The world is changing so fast!" Lu Ping said with emotion, "What I am most worried about now is that if the mysterious man really intends to change the program of 'pure blood supremacy' and choose to accept all forces, then in the end we will
The Order of the Phoenix may be facing the same dilemma as the Death Eaters, when they were isolated and helpless and opposed by most people."
Mad-Eye burped, muttered a few words, his magic eyes wandered around, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Sirius come to participate?"
"He has other things." Lupine's expression became strange, and he really didn't know how to describe the situation at Sirius's home. His home was right next door to his own...
"He has become a little different." Mad-Eye sighed and shook his head.
Everyone just fell silent on this topic. There were even some taboos about why Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban. For example, Dumbledore didn't seem to fully trust Sirius back then.
