The situation has changed. The Dark Lord Voldemort suddenly has a serious identity. From a gangster who hides in the corner and only knows how to threaten to kill, he suddenly becomes the speaker of the Magical Congress of a huge country. Too many people come to Hogg.
Watts comes to see Dumbledore.
And these people also contacted Anton through various relationships.
Unable to be disturbed, Anton simply sneaked into the Animagus office in the Ministry of Magic and hid.
Although he is the boss of this department, in fact, department personnel rarely encounter him. Those dark wizards who fill a large number of positions in the Animagus office and those who go to the North Pole are instead taking courses at Azkaban Academy.
You can only see him at the top.
There was nothing in the office that belonged to the chief of staff. Anton simply came to Minister Fudge's office. This fat man often kept a lot of exquisite snacks here.
It is said that they are all gifts from others.
It was rare. Anton thought that Fudge would be in a hurry, but he didn't expect that he was calmly processing documents in the office.
Fudge was obviously very happy about Anton's arrival. He called the house elf Wheatfield to prepare the best black tea, and took out a beautifully packaged chocolate biscuit from the shelf next to the office fireplace as a tea snack.
"I don't need to be anxious at all." Fudge patted the armrest of the single sofa under him happily, "I have never felt that I am sitting so securely!"
Anton blinked and looked at Fudge curiously, "Can you tell me?"
Fudge chuckled, waved the wheat field aside, and poured a cup of black tea for Anton with a teapot, "Voldemort, oh, it is said that everyone now calls him Tom Riddle. He left Europe and went to America!"
"This is simply the best thing. No matter what he plans to do next, I will not be dismissed from the position of minister because of this."
Anton nodded thoughtfully, "It seems true."
"Hey, Connelly, you used to call him Mysterious Man, but now you dare to call him by his first name?"
Fudge picked up a piece of biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, and clapped his hands as if he was in a happy mood, "Didn't you notice? He has now become the Speaker of the Magic Congress! He is the Speaker, and I am the Minister. What else do I have to be afraid of?
Already?"
Anton didn't quite understand, but was shocked by Fudge's change.
Oh my god
Lao Fu, is this considered a downgrade?
Seeing that Anton didn't understand very well, Fudge reminded him in a low voice, "Just like Dumbledore, jumping from the devil's rules of the game to the normal rules of the game."
"In his original rules of the game, I was an ant that he could crush to death at any time."
"Hehe, but now, according to the normal rules of the game, my weight has become too much for him."
"Wow," Anton exclaimed, looking Fudge up and down, clicking his tongue.
"What's more, if Tom Riddle plans to deal with the European wizarding world or even the British wizarding world alone, Dumbledore will be the one standing at the front!"
Fudge motioned for Anton to try these chocolate chip cookies too.
Chocolate is the most beautiful food that nature has given to wizards. Its effects are sometimes even better than many magic potions, and it belongs to the category of food supplements.
"The two most troublesome things in the Ministry of Magic right now..."
Fudge continued, "The first thing is that Dumbledore plans to punish those pure-blood families who have become Death Eaters, confiscate their magic factories, and give freedom to those goblin slaves."
"This should have been a matter of great resistance. Many people were worried that their factories would also lose those goblin slaves. Everyone knows that Dumbledore may promote such a thing in the future."
"But because Tom Riddle did it in the Americas, if we don't do it here, it won't work. We can't be compared to the Magical Congress in the Americas!"
"Look" Fudge leaned back, letting his plump body sink into the soft sofa, and smiled proudly, "Nothing is a big deal anymore!"
"The second thing is that the Auror Office and members of the Order of the Phoenix arrested Barty Crouch Jr."
"Before, I had to worry about the mysterious man's revenge, and I had to consider Old Batty's attitude. There were too many things to think about."
"But now, it's none of my business!"
"From the perspective of procedural justice, the criminals arrested by the Auror Office need to be tried by the Wizengamot management agency before they can be convicted."
Fudge sat up straight, leaned over and whispered, "But we all know that the chief wizard of the Wizengamot is Albus Dumbledore."
"From the perspective of the situation, since Barty Crouch Jr. is almost the godson of the mysterious man, we have to consider the impact of sentencing such a person."
"But now the mysterious man has become Speaker Tom Riddle, and Barty Jr. has also become the Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department of the Magical Congress of the United States. This is related to international affairs."
"In international affairs, we must listen to the instructions of the International Confederation of Wizards. What's more, now that the Magical Congress of the United States has issued a statement that it does not recognize the direct jurisdiction of the International Confederation of Wizards, this is interesting."
"Obviously, this has changed from a matter of our Ministry of Magic to a matter of the International Federation of Wizards."
"But we know..."
"The President of the International Confederation of Wizards is Albus Dumbledore."
"As far as private relations are concerned, this is actually a war between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters. Our Ministry of Magic has always maintained that we do not intend to get too involved. We only care about the Statute of Secrecy."
"What's interesting is that because of the issues of 'transformation of sub-wizards' and 'transformation of wizards' that you have researched, Anton, we are all exploring the positioning of the "Secrecy Act" in the new era, and we need to consider it more carefully."
"So, we still have to wait and see what measures the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters will take before we can respond effectively."

"The founder and actual controller of the Order of the Phoenix is still Albus Dumbledore!"
Anton took a breath and looked at Fudge in amazement, "You mean, nothing will happen without you? Everything will be pushed to Professor Dumbledore?"
Fudge nodded meaningfully, "We can say that those who are able work harder. A game at this level is no longer something we, the Minister of Magic, are qualified to participate in."
"In fact..."
"Anton, I have been firmly labeled as you. What I will do will depend more on your attitude than on Tom Riddle or Albus Dumbledore."
Fudge raised his eyebrows, "You look quite laid-back now. That's why I'm so laid-back now."
Xiuer
Anton glanced at Fudge with an inexplicable expression, and secretly exclaimed "Good guy."
Okay, this Fudge is really transparent.
Anton took a sip of the black tea, looked at Fudge thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Now in America, Voldemort is almost in charge. We all know that the Magical Congress of the United States is in New York, and my 'Shelter Tower'
Also in New York, the so-called 'Wizard Wisdom Library' will be built there, I wonder if it will have any impact on me?"
"Connelly, what do you suggest?"
Accepting advice humbly and asking these knowledgeable people, this is the influence that Professor Lao Fu had on Anton.
"It depends on how you plan to participate in this game." Fudge said with a smile without even thinking.
When talking about this kind of thing, his face is full of confidence.
"If you plan to stay away from the center of the vortex, just like how you moved Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry before, move the shelter tower to another place."
"I would rather suggest that you move here deep in the North Sea, far away from various power centers, but not too close or far away. In the future, there will be some key departments of the Ministry of Magic here, and it is next to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
There will be someone to look after your home and care for you."
Anton rubbed his chin and thought, signaling Fudge to continue his analysis.
"If you plan to wait for the opportunity and wait for the opportunity, then the 'Shelter Tower' will be like a nail, firmly stuck in the center of Tom Riddle's sphere of influence, and you can make any plans through it at any time
."
"If you're planning to get in on the game now, now is a great time!"
"Library of Wizarding Wisdom? Have Tom Riddle and the Magical Congress asked for your opinion?"
"Right, they should know how to respect the attitude of a top wizard."
"What's more, you are not only one of the most powerful wizards in magic, but you also have the technology of 'Muggle Transformation into Wizards', which they cannot easily ignore."
"Everything has just begun for them. If you go over at this time and kill them with force, as long as it is just right, they will endure it even if it means cutting off an arm."
"Avoid, wait, participate, it all depends on what you want." Fudge looked at Anton with a smile, observing Anton's expression carefully.
Anton raised his eyebrows, "I choose the same as the Ministry of Magic, take a look first."
See what Dumbledore will do, see what Voldemort will do, and...
It seems that everyone has ignored Grindelwald, and Anton is very suspicious of how much involvement Grindelwald was in this matter, and what he will do in the future.
"Let's take a look first. Anyway, I don't care about this game very much." Anton spread his hands, "I'm writing a book recently, and I have to hold the 'Top 100 Competition', and I also have to study "Everyday Magic, and Ah
Zikaban Academy and I gave private lessons to some friends.”
Anton picked up a biscuit from the delicate plate and tasted it carefully, obviously not too interested in those complicated things.
Fudge smiled slightly, "Your attitude is my attitude. I also have a lot of things to do. Moving some important departments of the Ministry of Magic to Azkaban Island and setting up a Muggle Information Collection Office are enough headaches for me.
That’s it.”
After talking about this, Fudge moved a lot of parchments with pictures from his desk, "I don't plan to fill up the Ministry of Magic's new office location on the island of Azkaban like it is now.
In a magic building, it is built into a castle complex."
"A department like the Department of Mysteries should have a separate address and a separate entrance, and cannot go through the same passage as visitors. That would be simply too bad."
"By the way, come and take a look. This is a separate castle for the Animagus office. I built it according to the standards of a department. Maybe one day in the future it will become a separate department."
