Hogwarts Asylum

It is said that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

In fact, the same is true for politics.

Although there are only tens of thousands of wizards in the British wizarding world, the small Ministry of Magic has three political parties.

The previous Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagno, represented the Republican Party.

Millicent Bagnor came to power in 1980. At that time, the Freedom Party, represented by Voldemort, who was eager to overturn the Statute of Secrecy and enslave all non-pure-blood wizard creatures, was competing with the largest number of people ever, who wanted to maintain the status quo and did not agree with the enslavement of Muggles. The Conservative Party went to war, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Therefore, in order to appease pure-blood, mixed-blood, and Muggle-born wizards at the same time, they also advocated overturning the secrecy law, but the Republican Party, which hoped to coexist peacefully with Muggles, was ordered to do so at the critical moment and was promoted to the highest position.

Although Millicent Bagnor did a good job, as Voldemort disappeared, the Liberal Party's voice became smaller and smaller, and the Conservative Party became more and more powerful, she still retired obediently.

The person who succeeded him was Cornelius Fudge, who was born in the Conservative Party.

Many people say that Fudge was chosen as the Minister. If Dumbledore had not refused to be the Minister of Magic and his biggest rival Barty Crouch also lost popularity because he had a Death Eater son, then Fudge would have been the Minister of Magic. Fudge couldn't reach this position at all.

This is actually just a delusion of low-level wizards. Dumbledore did refuse to be the Minister of Magic, but he did not have a firm political stance!Although he may lean toward the Republican Party, he is not a member of the Republican Party, is he?Then he is still a neutral.

Only when all the politicians are dead will neutralists be allowed to take office, not to mention that Dumbledore has almost no weaknesses!The multiple invitations were just for testing purposes.

As for Barty Crouch, he is also from the Conservative Party, but who said he was incompetent?The wizarding world would be crazy to have a Death Eater father become Minister of Magic.

However, Crouch did have an admirable spirit. At that time, the Republican Party allowed many Liberals to acquit, but old Barty, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, insisted on trying his own son to uphold legal justice.

Of course, no matter how much you say, it's useless. He, Fudge, is the most suitable one.

However, although Fudge has stood at the top of the wizarding world and has been the Minister of Magic for a whole year, he still has a lot of worries.

Over the past year, he has been working conscientiously on the future of the magical world. He often works until midnight, dealing with countless old incidents and resolving the cases of many low-level wizards.

However, the wizards at the bottom were not only ungrateful, but also spread rumors everywhere.

After all, Fudge became the Minister of Magic through bribery, and Barty Crouch is the most suitable one.

What can I say? The Ministry of Magic violated the unspoken rules and promoted a parallel importer who had never been the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to a position he should not be sitting in.

Of course, this is just instigation by some unwilling politicians, and it can only be regarded as a minor annoyance.

Which politician will not be slandered? Low-level wizards do not understand politics, and it is normal for them to be led astray by people with good intentions. Albus Dumbledore, the president of the International Federation of Wizards and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, supports Fudge has never been afraid that he will step down because of those rumors.

What troubled Fudge most was that he discovered that the Ministry of Magic would soon face a shortage of funds. The Ministry of Magic's funds in Gringotts' account actually had less than [-] Galleons left!There is only enough for three more months of salary, so don’t even think about doing anything more.

He obviously went to see it when he first came to power. The treasury full of Galleons would last at least several years!

These damn moths!Fudge even got less than [-] yuan!

And those damn goblins, they always take the treasury of the deceased heir for themselves, this is immoral!It should be taken out and given to the Ministry of Magic, to Fudge!Only he, Fudge, can put that money in a better place!

Fudge once tried to negotiate with the goblins of Gringotts, but as soon as he talked about this matter with the goblins, they began to act crazy and jump up and down. They were really greedy devils.

Fudge also considered asking those ancient families for help. They had always had plenty of money, but he shuddered when he thought about the consequences of doing so.

Although it is said that politics is the art of compromise, as a conservative, it is not a good thing to ask for help from a pure-blood family representing the Liberal Party. In that case, not only will you be caught, but once the Liberal Party ignores the unspoken rules in order to gain power, his political Lives are ruined.

Politics is not about enduring humiliation and bearing the burden. The second and fifth graders are the second and fifth graders, and those who sit on the fence are always the first to be eliminated.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't cooperate with pure-blood families, but it depends on who takes the initiative.

If a pure-blood family comes to ask for help, then Fudge won't care about the consequences at all, and he won't be afraid of being exposed. This is all a compromise for the interests of ordinary wizards. As long as the publicity is done well, ordinary wizards will know who is right. Their good one.

Of course, the most important thing is that his conservative colleagues will not mind at all and will even encourage him to defraud funds from the Liberal Party.

Alas, lack of money is the biggest difficulty. Unfortunately, although Dumbledore is extremely powerful, highly respected and has no interest in politics, he cannot conjure Galleons out of thin air.

"Boom boom boom!"

Fudge, who was staring blankly at the flames of the fireplace, was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Ahem... come in." Fudge adjusted his sitting position, picked up his quill and started reviewing documents. He couldn't show his laziness in front of his subordinates, otherwise the whole Ministry of Magic would be ruined.

The door to the minister's office opened a crack, and a young man who looked somewhat similar to Fudge stepped in.

This young man was Fudge's nephew, his name was Rufus Fudge. He had just graduated from Hogwarts a few years ago and became the Assistant Minister of Magic, of course, through the back door.

Although Rufus had good grades when he was in school, as a Gryffindor, no matter how good his grades were, he couldn't compare to those freaks in Ravenclaw. If he hadn't had a good uncle, he might have just joined the Department of Magical Sports and Sports now. , working as a clerk there.

Rufus closed the door gently, and when he saw Fudge sitting upright, his face lit up and he shouted: "Uncle..."

Fudge interrupted Rufus without looking up: "No, Rufus, call the Minister here!"

"Okay, Minister." Rufus said and stood there blankly.

Fudge was looking at a document submitted by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. This document was written by the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items. They always requested raids on the homes of liberal members from time to time. How could that be possible!If the conservatives are in power, will they be able to do whatever they want?

After seeing a third of it, before Rufus could say anything, Fudge looked up in confusion.

"What about the report?"
