Chapter 673 He Just Wants to Have Fun
This is an extremely unique moment when all forces seem to have quieted down.
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 are ready to move.
Voldemort had returned, and he was still a rational Voldemort. The news seemed to explode the entire wizarding world.
The dark tide is surging.
Although Dumbledore withdrew from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and reduced his outings, those who were well-informed could still detect the movements of the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Especially in the Ministry of Magic, you can clearly see Director Lupine, Director Arthur, old Auror Kinlace and other important figures traveling frequently.
The pure-blood families are also on the move.
But there are too many choices for them.
The returning Voldemort, Grindelwald who is moving indistinctly, and Director Anthony Weasley who is strong enough to fight against 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 taking refuge in a child will make people feel ashamed. Although everyone doesn't say it, the belief that the strong are respected has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For example, Merlin that everyone often talks about, or Dumbledore who is now the most powerful.
The Ministry of Magic is not a force, at least on the side of the British Ministry of Magic, the former overlord of the magical world, it has always been a platform for various forces to compete to show 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 the society. This annoyed Minister Fudge, who had been working on reducing Auror's budget, and went to Auror's office to quarrel with Director Slytherin himself.
He even yelled in a shocking way, 'Don't think I don't know, you have taken refuge in Grindelwald! ’ Such words.
Not to mention, since this idiot uttered such words, the budget cut plan of the Auror office has not only failed, but also inexplicably increased a lot of private donations. Office budget plan' planning book.
It is said that Fudge was so angry that he was admitted to St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital for recuperation and has not come out yet.
Of course, there are also some people secretly spreading rumors that Fudge is going to run away—because Azkaban accidentally leaked a 'plan' that is still under discussion.
This platform is unusual. In addition to re-emphasizing the point of view of "pure blood supremacy", it also added "wizard supremacy" and "tolerance of Muggle-born wizards, Squib groups, and Muggle Squib groups".
In the program, wizards are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Although the inferiority of Muggles, Squibs, and Muggle Squibs is still emphasized, they are also recognized as members of the wizarding community.
Not only that, but there are rumors spreading in the market that the Dark Lord intends to evaluate the 'Golden Family' in the future.
Different from the "sacred pure blood twenty-eight clan" who pursue the pure bloodline, the "golden family" is more inclined to choose powerful wizards and their contributions in the future.
To put it simply, Muggle-born wizards also have the opportunity to climb to the top of the wizarding world!
This is incredible!
You know, even Dumbledore, who has been saying that he wants peace and accepts hemp-blooded wizards, has only pure-blood wizards and half-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-born wizard who can climb to a high position is 'Nobby Rich', who became the Minister of Magic in 1962. But he hardly did anything. A large number of Ministry of Magic staff submitted their resignation letters because they opposed him. Any order became a joke, and finally contracted a terrible mysterious disease and ended up resigning.
And the family of the Minister of Magic, the Rich family, is still in the 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, the undercurrent gradually began to surge.
And the center of all these storms, Azkaban, has not been heard 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 all kinds of opportunities that are not easy to publicize, but in fact, no one dares to move.
The injured Dark Lord Voldemort, Grindelwald who has been imprisoned for more than 40 years without knowing how much strength he has left, and Dumbledore who said every day that he would die at any time and was dying of old age...
It is still an existence that everyone needs to look up to.
No one dares to provoke.
And the new generation of Anthony Weasley seemed 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 rumors that he is also a student of Grindelwald.
Oh, not even the students.
There are too many forces displaying photos of Anthony, and the dazzling blue pupil is too familiar.
Not to mention Anthony's mother, who came from a pure-blood Bagshot family. And Gellert Grindelwald's great-aunt, Bathilda Bagshot, the wizarding world's top historian of magic, still lives in Godric's Hollow.
They are relatives!
Although it is said that the wizarding world is full of relatives, but the eyes have grown like this, don't everyone have eyes?
With the actions of the 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 explain his "programme".
After all, this is the creator of the concept of 'Muggle Squib'.
Yes, the source of turning the whole world into this appearance is this kid!
When the trial meeting was held at the Ministry of Magic last year, none of the masters expected that this second-year student imprisoned in Azkaban, the little wizard, would turn the whole world into this.
Just like that, when everyone was secretly thinking about when the Dark Lord Voldemort would recover and gather forces from all sides to declare war on Muggles, Anthony Weasley finally got news!
One of his papers completely detonated the whole undercurrent.
—— "Beware of the war with Muggles, a 'witch-hunting race' will be born!" "
The paper is published on the front page of the Hogwarts Weekly, oh, or this issue of the Weekly is dedicated to this paper.
On the cover of the weekly magazine, there are a few extremely subversive words printed:
- All humans have magical powers.
——The birth of wizards stems from the desire of the human race for magic.
- The influence of the human collective consciousness, including wizards, dementors, dark magic creatures, ghosts and more.
——The collective consciousness of human beings also affects the magic power of nature, and digging out the deep instinctive desire of human beings is a shortcut to the master of magic spells.
——When Muggles know the existence of wizards, are slaughtered by wizards, and face wars, their collective consciousness will tend to desire to have the same magical power to contain wizards. The huge magical power they gathered will allow nature to breed the "witch hunter race"!
...
Although it seemed that it was all about the in-depth discussion of magic, everyone had an extremely strong feeling—Anthony Weasley was confronting Voldemort!
Merlin's beard!
Voldemort has changed, and he will accommodate all forces in the wizarding world and launch a war against Muggles together.
And Anthony Weasley made the statement that waging war against Muggles would have dire consequences.
No, even letting Muggles know about wizards would have such consequences!
Boom~
All of a sudden, the entire wizarding world was detonated.
Even some bigwigs who don't care about politics have been blown out by this paper, and fierce debates have arisen around this topic.
Even the longest-lived Nicole May, when interviewed by reporters, smiled and said that he planned to refine the Sorcerer's Stone again, wanted to continue to live, and had a look at the future magical world.
A large number of meetings were held, and some people were busy identifying Anton as a "secrecy protection faction", while some were more focused on the study of magic, discussing whether the theory put forward by Anton was right or not.
His views are not rootless.
At least the Ministry of Magic, oh, it should be said that dating back to the era of the Wizarding Council, the top wizarding bosses have been organizing and compiling some stories about the wizarding world into fairy tales and spreading them to the Muggle world!
Even many "strange stories and legends" that have been deliberately spread to the Muggle world can be traced back to ancient times.
And the most eye-catching among them belongs to the super-top great wizard--Merlin!
Even Muggle commoners know of such a powerful wizard!
This seems difficult to understand under the background that wizards have been committed to decoupling from the Muggle world under the "Secrecy Act" for nearly three hundred years.
And Anton's paper gave the answer!
——"I guess, the story of Master Merlin has spread to the point where the whole world knows it. When the entire human race is under threat and disaster, the powerful magic brought by the collective desire for the savior to appear, as long as With a little guidance from someone, Master Merlin will be resurrected!"
——"He is the most powerful mage in the wizarding world. He is friendly to Muggles, protects Muggles, maintains the order of Muggles, and protects wizards from the influence of witch hunting. Such an image of Master Merlin is very easy Approved by all races."
that's all……
The argument that the "Secrecy Act" will continue to be firmly implemented has once again overshadowed the imminent move from Azkaban.
People talked about Anton's ideas on various occasions, and even vaguely portrayed Anton as the protector of the "Secrecy Act".
This all seems extremely reasonable, as long as you think of Anthony Weasley's collaborator Fudge, who is himself a vested interest in the "Secrecy Act", everything seems to make sense.
However……
Just when everyone was imagining the future wizarding world, Anthony Weasley's forces and Voldemort's forces were fighting against each other, tit for tat...
"Hogwarts Weekly" is fresh again.
Still only Anthony's thesis.
——"Discussion on the impact of the development of Muggle technology on the magical aspect of the entire wizarding world"
—— (The content is abbreviated, see Chapter 669 for details)
so……
Anthony Weasley advocated war on Muggles? Even curb Muggles from continuing to study technology?
Almost everyone is confused, what do you mean?
But anyway, the paper seems to make sense...
"What exactly is he going to do?" Kingsley Shacklebolt frowned and raised this question at a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix in a certain secret stronghold. Weekly, which seemed to be full of his own opinions.
"Haha..." Arthur took the hot milk from his wife, and laughed out of nowhere. "Based on what I know about Anton, he might really just want to discuss magic."
Facing Kingsley's unbelievable eyes, he shrugged, "He's a standard Weasley, he doesn't like politics!"
Kingsley raised his eyebrows, as if there was such a possibility. You must know that although the Order of the Phoenix also has its own political appeals, most of its members actually follow Dumbledore, rather than gather around Dumbledore for political appeals.
"But……"
He still couldn't understand, "Isn't he afraid of being misunderstood by others? You must know that everyone is panicking now, trying to distinguish friend from foe."
"Maybe he's really not afraid!" Mad-Eye Moody took a sip of beer and smacked his mouth. Disgusted by the taste, he put down his glass and reached into his pocket to feel for the hip flask, "He's the one who dares to confront Mysterious Man head-on. , it doesn't matter what other people think of him."
Oh, let me explain, although everyone is not afraid to talk about the name Voldemort, but because they will be induced to locate this secret stronghold, they still continue to use the name "Mysterious Man".
They are all experienced fighters, and they will not expose this stronghold for the sake of the so-called "I am not afraid of him".
"Lupine, what do you think?" Kingsley turned to look at Lupine.
Lupine's shy face was full of smiles, "He just wants to have fun, I know, don't talk about Anton anymore, expect him to stand up to the opposite side of the mysterious man's war, this kind of thing, It's not on his mind at all."
even……
Lupine vaguely felt that Anton's favorite situation might be the one where Muggles and wizards fought. It's not for the wizard's rule, it's not for protecting the Statute of Secrecy, it's just for the bigger fun.
But he didn't want the members of the Order of the Phoenix to discuss more about his godson, his face became serious, "Everyone, today's topic is, Barty Crouch Jr. returned to Crowe last night The Qi family manor looking for old Batty."
"Ha, speaking of which, it's ridiculous. Father and son are killing 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 his wine and sneered Said, "Old Batty seems to be completely desperate. The transformed werewolf bit Batty Jr. If he didn't dodge quickly, he would bite off a leg."
Arthur froze for a moment, obviously he had just heard the news, and couldn't help asking, "Then can old Barty Crouch be an ally we can win?"
Kingsley still frowned, "We have to consider that this may be acting, the Crouch family intends to be on two boats, or it is purely old Batty who wants to be a spy for his son's future development, it is all possible."
"You guys know that the mysterious man put forward the term 'Golden Family'. Old Batty has a reason to be tempted by this kind of thing."
"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, then not only will he have the opportunity to become the Minister of Magic that he has always wanted, but he will also have the opportunity to let Crowe The Qi Family became the 'Holy Twenty-Eight Pure-Blood Family' and the 'Golden Family' at the same time."
"It's ridiculous!" Mad-Eye said sarcastically, "Old Batty was firmly against the forces of the mysterious man back then!"
"This world is changing too fast!" Lupine said with emotion, "What I am most worried about now is that if the mysterious person really intends to change the 'pure blood supremacy' program and choose to accept all forces, then in the end we will The Order of the Phoenix may face the same dilemma that the Death Eaters were isolated and opposed by most people."
Mad-Eye hiccupped, muttered a few words, his magic eyeballs wandered around, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Sirius come to participate?"
"He has other things." Lu Ping's expression became weird, and he really didn't know how to tell the situation at Sirius' home. His house is right next door to his own...
"He's become a little bit different." Mad-Eye shook his head with some sighs.
Regarding this topic, everyone just fell silent. Regarding the experience of why Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban, there were even some taboos that could not be mentioned. For example, Dumbledore did not seem to fully trust Sirius back then, and did not confirm the truth of the facts.
