Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

In the morning, the sunlight shines through the tall stained glass windows of the Ministry of Magic's hall, giving the entire hall a layer of colorful colors.

"Good morning, Chief Scrimgeour."

"Good morning, Chief."

"Good morning, Boss!"

Rufus Scrimgeour, holding a cup of hot bubble tea in his hand, walked steadily on the way to his office.

This bubble milk tea is a fashionable drink that has suddenly become popular in the Muggle world in the past two years.

In the wizarding world, those sharp-eyed “fangs” can always catch these trends first and quickly introduce them into the wizarding world.

At this moment, this sweet drink has become Scrimgeour's favorite recently, helping him to drive away his inexplicable anxiety.

Along the way, employees of the Ministry of Magic kept greeting him.

Some of them came from other departments, wearing uniform magic robes.

Some of them were his subordinates in the Law Enforcement Division, with serious and focused expressions.

Others were his old friends—those old Aurors who had fought on the front lines.

Rufus Scrimgeour was not a proud man.

He responded to every greeting with a smile and his unique gentle tone.

However, when his eyes fell on that group of special people, his smile faded slightly.

These are not ordinary Ministry of Magic employees, but a group of old wizards in long robes and pointed hats, but their uniqueness is obvious.

There was no need to open their mouths and show their fangs. The thick layer of sunscreen on their skin and their iconic blood-red pupils alone were enough to expose their identities - [vampires].

To be exact, they are vampires from Clan Rimmer.

For Aurors who have been dealing with dark wizards and dark creatures for many years, these faces are all too familiar.

Many of them were great wizards of historical fame, having once lived in the same era as Rufus Scrimgeour's ancestors and competed with them.

Rufus Scrimgeour was more familiar with a few of them, and had even come into contact with them in his early years.

These people are all famous wizards in modern Europe. Their names are well-known and renowned in the magical world.

Even recently, people could still see the manuscripts they submitted to newspapers, but they didn't expect that they all sneaked to America for immortality, willingly joined the Hermetic Order, and became dark creatures like vampires.

However, everyone has his own ambitions, and Scrimgeour did not express any opinion on the choices of these seniors.

This group of old vampires had no reaction to Scrimgeour's arrival, nor did they have the slightest intention of taking the initiative to say hello.

Although they live in America all year round, this does not affect the natural antagonism between Aurors and vampires.

What's more, for them who have already gained the ability to live forever, Rufus Scrimgeour is just a junior, not worthy of their even a second glance, let alone taking the initiative to say hello to him.

The people in the Ministry of Magic have become accustomed to these alien species that are incompatible with them.

He even began to calmly regard these guys who were both dark creatures and masters of the wizarding world as invisible people.

The reason why these vampires appeared here was actually because they were the help specially invited from America by the famous killing hero and Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch Sr.

Faced with the increasingly bizarre and unpredictable situation in the British wizarding world, the fighting power of these old guys cannot be ignored.

You know, in this magical world where knowledge is the source of power, the experience accumulated by old wizards over the years is not something that the younger generation can easily surpass.

What's more, these guys had already survived for hundreds of years before they were transformed into vampires, and they were elites who devoted themselves to the research of magic!

Rufus Scrimgeour knew that if he were to fight one of them alone, even if he was fully armed and equipped with special magic props made by Fangs, he would probably only be able to fight a draw with those old monsters who had only joined the Hermetic Order in modern times.

As for those old vampires from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, he was no match for them at all.

Of course, this is also under the premise that he did not use any magic props against vampires!

Having said that, these vampires can actually be considered as powerful reinforcements for the Aurors, and can be said to be an important fighting force in the fight against Voldemort!

Logically speaking, as the recipient of assistance, Rufus Scrimgeour should welcome them very much! If this group of people really came to support the Aurors...but the fact is quite the opposite.

Rufus Scrimgeour, as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, simply chose to ignore these people.

Because he knew very well that these people were not here to support them, but to guard against them.

In recent times, the atmosphere in the global magical community can only be described as "weird".

Because there are three people who can really influence the world situation.

Each of them is doing something that is incomprehensible to others.

Dumbledore, the legendary wizard who is the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, has spent nearly half a year in faraway America on suspicion of murdering the chief wizard of the Magic Congress.

However, according to Rufus Scrimgeour's personal channels, Dumbledore had, in fact, been cleared of suspicion, but had chosen not to return.

Even though the former Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge had served as the "acting headmaster" at Hogwarts for quite some time and showed obvious intentions to replace him, Dumbledore still had no plans to return home.

The next person to be mentioned is Raven Nicholas Weasley, the current supreme leader of the Druid Order - the Archdruid.

This guy is currently in Azkaban prison, dealing with Dementors all day long, living a free and easy life, and has no intention of returning.

Finally, there is the legendary "Dark Lord" Voldemort.

Although Voldemort is no longer as arrogant and fearsome as he was a decade ago,

But in terms of his personal abilities, he is still a veritable legendary wizard.

Not only that, he also recruited a large number of dark creatures to form an army. If it weren't for the slight shortage of high-end combat power, that is, the number of elite wizards, even Rufus Scrimgeour would probably think that Voldemort's power was not much weaker than it was a decade ago.

So, what exactly is this former Dark Lord doing?

It turned out that he had recently been keen on creating some trouble for the second person in charge.

Recently, there have been frequent incidents of Voldemort's dark army attacking fang shops.

If Fangs were just an ordinary company, perhaps this strategy would work and might have scared off consumers.

However, today's Sharp Fang is no longer the same as it used to be. As a huge entity that accounts for 90% of the business in the British wizarding world, even if consumers want to avoid it, they cannot avoid the Sharp Fang's industrial territory.

Fortunately, the Sharpfangs have a pretty robust security system.

Whenever dark creatures attacked, the werewolves were always able to rush to the scene and kill them before any casualties occurred.

Half a month had passed since the first attack, but not a single wizard had been harmed.

(In reality, this was thanks to the unknown undercover gentleman who passed the intelligence to the Sharp Fangs before approving the attack.)

The continuous attacks and Raven's irresponsible "hands-off" behavior forced Remus Lupin, who was in charge of the fanged werewolf fighters, to make the originally secret security force public in order to deter those with ill intentions.

At the same time, Rufus Scrimgeour, who has always maintained a good relationship with Sharpfang, has also been interacting with Lupin more frequently recently, although only for official business.

Rufus Scrimgeour sighed at the thought.

His overly close relationship with the Sharpfangs aroused the suspicion of his old superiors, and these vampires from the Hermetic Order from America were the response taken by Barty Crouch Sr.
