There is no doubt that Lucius Malfoy is a typical opportunist, and will never easily let go of any opportunity to gain profits and benefits.
Although his ambition is not too big, and he knows how to measure most of the time, it does not mean that he has none.
Especially now that Voldemort is obviously unable to make a comeback, and Zuo Si has mastered the fate of the Ministry of Magic to some extent, he will naturally want to reach into the Ministry of Magic to get the coveted power.
After all, in any human society, the level of power is much higher than the level of wealth.
Having money without matching rights is like a fattened pig that may be slaughtered at any time.
This rule is equally applicable to modern so-called legal societies, not to mention wizards who still retain some of the nature of the jungle.
Even though the Malfoys are now one of the richest families in the British wizarding world, their political influence is obviously not as much as those of pure-blood and mixed-race families who have served as ministers of magic.
The reason why Lucius was able to unite some people around him was entirely because when Voldemort fell, he was the first to use the poor excuse of "he was under the Imperius Curse" to successfully escape punishment, and he actively helped others who were also under the Imperius Curse.
Join the Death Eaters as allies for the sake of family interests.
Because these people have betrayed Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, and also killed many wizards and Muggles during the war.
Therefore, they were afraid that they would be suppressed by members of the Order of the Phoenix headed by Dumbledore, and they were even more afraid that one day the Dark Lord would come back to settle accounts with them. As a last resort, they could only hug together and surround themselves with the Malfoy family led by Lucius.
This also gave Lucius a certain amount of political capital, allowing him to enter the Hogwarts school board, bribe Ministry of Magic officials through money offensives, and even influence the minister's decision-making.
It's a pity that he obviously doesn't understand what Zuo Si really wants.
After acquiring almost all the magic knowledge and all kinds of interesting magical animals and magical plants, Zuo Si has basically no interest in the so-called magic world and wizards.
Just think of it as a holiday place where you can rest and relax.
Apart from occasionally purchasing large quantities of materials for making magic items and brewing potions through the network I have established, I have no other needs at all.
Since there is no need, then why bother fussing over it after you are full?
Just continue to maintain this stable state.
As for controlling the magical world in Britain, Europe and the world, he really has no interest at all, let alone waste precious time and energy on such meaningless things.
At least there won't be any big moves before Principal Dumbledore dies of natural causes.
Quite the opposite!
Compared to the magical world, Zuo Si is actually more interested in the world of ordinary people.
Whether it is those high-level talents who have received higher education and have proven their abilities, or the souls of countless ordinary people who were sent to the afterlife and finally returned to their original energy form, or the rapidly developing technological level and the highly industrialized zone
The cheap fabrics, steel, food, condiments, large machinery and other products that came from here are what is really needed to rebuild the floating city world.
However, it is not difficult to obtain these things, especially for him who can withdraw cash from "the enemy" anytime and anywhere. It is easier than eating and drinking. There is no need to form a secret society spanning six continents and four oceans.
After giving Lucius, Gemma Farley and others a stern warning, Zuo Si immediately put the matter behind him.
Just when he returned to the door of the principal's office, the originally closed door suddenly opened.
Dumbledore and Umbridge, the Minister of Magic, walked out side by side.
Behind them were Snape, Black, Lily, McGonagall, Harry and other parties involved.
Especially Snape and Black, both were staring at each other with extreme disgust, disgust and hatred. Even from several meters away, they could feel the electric sparks flashing in the air.
If there was no one else around, Zuo Si had no doubt that the two of them would fight immediately until one of them was completely torn into pieces.
Unfortunately, Harry and Lily, mother and son, physically separated them from each other, making them afraid to launch an attack at the cost of accidentally injuring the most important person in the world.
Of course, as the savior who has learned the truth and is caught between his stepfather and godfather, his reaction is also quite interesting, with a complex expression of joy mixed with a hint of embarrassment and tangle on his face.
Happily, this biological father's former best friend did not betray him, but instead desperately chose to avenge him after the murder. He even suffered unjust injustice and was imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years without complaining.
Regret.
In other words, from now on, he has another godfather who cares about him and loves him.
This is undoubtedly a very happy thing for Harry, who has lacked family affection and care since he was a child.
What's more, Black also promised that even if he spends all the money in the family treasury, he will find a way to get a piece of magic mercury to resurrect his biological father James.
But the embarrassment and tangle is that because his mother has been dead for a long time, she has long forgotten the time she spent with her biological father. She is determined to marry Snape, and the two of them even have children.
.
In addition, biological father James will most likely not remember his former wife after his resurrection, so getting back together is basically out of the question.
Coupled with the incompatible and tense relationship between the godfather and stepfather, not to mention a minor like Harry, even adults will feel a headache.
What's more, he used a gun to seriously injure Blake at the wedding.
Although the other party repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need to care, and even praised his brave and decisive character as worthy of being a Gryffindor lion, his heart was still full of guilt and apology.
Just when Harry Potter was thinking about how to deal with this complicated family relationship in the future, the reporters and people who had been waiting at the door for a long time finally reacted and gathered around him with excitement.
As a gold medal reporter, Rita Skeeter unceremoniously bumped a colleague away with her butt, got closer before everyone else, and asked loudly: "Principal Dumbledore! Minister Umbridge! Excuse me, Mr.
Is Sirius Black as innocent as he claims?"
"Through Legilimency, we have been able to confirm that Black is indeed innocent.
He did not betray the Potters, but secretly changed the secret keeper to Peter Pettigrew.
In other words, Peter is the traitor who secretly joined Voldemort and betrayed his friends.
Moreover, the curse that blew up a street and killed countless Muggles was also Peter's crazy move when he was cornered and jumped over the wall."
Dumbledore was the first to speak and explain the ins and outs of the whole incident.
After all, he is a master of Legilimency, and he has authority in this regard that others do not possess.
"So... the Ministry of Magic made a big mistake? Not only did they arrest the wrong person and throw the last heir of the Black family, the Holy Twenty-Eight pure-bloods, into Azkaban to die, they also treated murderers and criminals as heroes.
Awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class Medal of Honor?"
Rita Skeeter's eyes lit up like a fly seeing excrement.
Obviously, she has always been good at using exaggeration and false information to fabricate eye-catching news. She realized almost immediately that this was definitely a big news that could make the front page of the Daily Prophet and other media.
If we add a little more fuel to the flames and fan the flames, many big figures may have to take the blame and resign, ending their political careers sadly.
"Ahem! Ms. Skeeter, please watch your words.
It was not the Ministry of Magic that made this huge mistake, but the previous Minister of Magic Fudge and the stupid officials he appointed who made unforgivable mistakes.
Corruption, weakness, and incompetence. Although I don’t really want to speak ill of my former boss, the bad influence it has caused since taking office has been hurting the British wizarding community.
But please rest assured, this is no longer the dark age when Fudge was in power.
I swear that when I go back, I will severely punish the relevant personnel who caused this unjust, false and wrong case, and make them bear the corresponding responsibilities."
Umbridge made her promise with a stern attitude in front of countless pairs of eyes.
Although she has a sad expression on her face now, she is actually feeling happy for a long time.
Because through this incident, not only can a big black pot be put firmly on Fudge's head, but also those who may pose a threat to his position as Minister of Magic can be cleared away.
For example, the prestigious Barty Crouch, Rufus Scrimgeour, and the wizards who hold the highest judicial authority in the Wizengamot governing body.
Then he will take the opportunity to promote some of his cronies to occupy important positions.
When it comes to fighting for power and profit, Umbridge has a keen sense of smell that is different from ordinary people, and she also knows how to seize the fleeting opportunity to consolidate her position.
When Principal Dumbledore heard these words, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
With his level of intelligence, it was impossible not to hear that Umbridge was deliberately criticizing someone, saying that she had blindly promoted Fudge to the position of Minister of Magic, which led to a series of serious mistakes.
What's even more terrible is that Rita Skeeter also understood the subtext that was not directly stated, and immediately used the quill that could automatically make up nonsense to record it wildly, portraying the greatest wizard in front of her as an old and dim person.
image in order to weaken its terrifying appeal in the magical world.
Of course, having lived to Dumbledore's age, he no longer cares about what outsiders think of him.
So he just glanced at the content on the sheepskin, and did not stop the other party from brazenly arranging himself. Instead, he kept using the corner of his eye to peek at the girl standing next to his younger brother Aberforth.
Ariana...
My own sister, a poor girl who was killed by her own ambition and desire.
Although in the eyes of many outsiders, the famous Albus Dumbledore is wise, calm, and can remain calm at all times.
Apart from the moral restraint on oneself, there are almost no shortcomings that can be exploited.
But in fact, Albus himself knows very well that he actually has a very fatal weakness, which is his indescribable longing and guilt for Ariana.
To be continued...
