My Understanding Is Incredible, I Built A Floating City In Hogwarts
Chapter 457 Percy’S Dilemma
On the day he became the assistant minister, Percy locked himself in the room and tried to think about what was going to happen next.
He understands that this position is not only a symbol of power and glory, but also a battlefield full of challenges and choices.
In the battle for power, he must learn to take sides and choose his enemies and friends.
Especially what he got was the key position of Assistant Minister.
He must make the right choice among several forces.
So far, he has three choices.
The first one is the Breedo faction that his family is naturally close to:
The second is the Jaina faction who gave him the opportunity and promoted him to power;
The third one is the faction of Fudge, the Minister of Magic whom he currently directly serves.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the desk, and the image of Dumbledore flashed in his mind.
"Is Dumbledore really that old fool?"
Percy muttered.
He shook his head and rejected the idea. He knew that Dumbledore was a great and wise wizard, and that every decision he made had its profound meaning and purpose.
Anyone with any sense knows what is going on in the Ministry of Magic.
However, Dumbledore's actions obviously touched Fudge's interests, causing the relationship between the two to break down.
"Saint" Albus Dumbledore's actions obviously touched Fudge's interests, leading to a direct break between the two people who had a good relationship.
This kind of thing is actually normal. Just look at the bad idea Dumbledore gave Fudge. Maybe he didn't have any malicious intentions, but it's not surprising that Fudge, as a politician, would have other ideas.
To Fudge, Dumbledore was generous to others.
But in the eyes of the selfless Dumbledore, the position of Minister of Magic is a tool, so the sacrifice in the position is not justified.
From the fact that Minister Fudge asked him for advice, it can be seen that he has had enough patience with Dumbledore. I am afraid that Dumbledore will face a series of suppression.
Percy Weasley knew very well that if he joined in the excitement, his future would be ruined.
At the same time, Jaina's power is at its peak, making her an ideal choice for Percy to seek refuge with. However, Jaina didn't seem to be in a hurry to take him under her wing, which made Percy a little confused.
He still remembered that a few days ago, the object of his pursuit, Penelope Crevat, the current captain of the Auror team and office assistant, suddenly appeared in front of him.
After just one year of not seeing each other, this girl's temperament and strength have undergone earth-shaking changes, and she is much more powerful than before.
That heroic image made Percy almost not recognize her.
Penello told him straight to the point: "Gianna intends to fulfill her promise and recommend you to become Fudge's assistant. However, we also need you to monitor Fudge for us and report his movements to us."
The words shook Percy's heart.
He had expected Penello to approach the request in a more cautious, serious manner.
After all, placing an undercover agent for the leader of a political opponent is no child's play.
However, Penello put on an air of "it doesn't matter, you want to do it or not", as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The witty Percy quickly reacted:
This is a kind of confidence!
Behind this confident attitude is the strength and stability of Jaina's power.
It seems that even if Jaina has not ascended to the throne of Minister of Magic, she has already occupied a pivotal position within the Ministry of Magic.
Considering they have a rising young talent behind them, a future "Dumbledore".
How to choose, does Percy even have to think about it?
He decided to follow Penello's instructions, openly siding with Minister Fudge, and secretly joining Jaina's faction.
He knew that it was not easy to get promoted in the huge bureaucracy of the Ministry of Magic.
In addition to having excellent abilities, you also need to have extensive network resources.
In the position of Assistant Minister, even if Minister Fudge may step down in the future, the qualifications and experience he has accumulated will be his valuable asset.
After all, this position itself is an excellent platform for experience, allowing him to be exposed to the core affairs of the Ministry of Magic and cultivating the abilities he needs to be an excellent Ministry of Magic official.
It was precisely because of the annexation of Crouch's power that Jaina's family became half of the Ministry of Magic.
And he had key cooperation with the Jaina faction in the Crouch incident.
Therefore, this cooperative connection is undoubtedly the largest network he can have access to.
By performing this kind of espionage work against the faction leaders, he can not only gain the trust and favor of Jaina's faction, but also gain a relatively core position in the faction for himself.
However, Fudge's idea of letting him be a spy seemed ridiculous to Percy.
What the hell, Jaina asked him to be a spy for Fudge, and Fudge asked him to be a spy for Dumbledore.
Then doesn't he become a double agent for Jaina and Fudge?
What codename should he give him? He can't be called "Pangolin".
But in fact, Percy suspected that this was a bad idea that Fudge came up with without any thought.
He really desires power and status, and is willing to pay the effort and price for it.
But he never thought about selling his family in exchange for this.
He knew that if his father was fired from the Ministry of Magic, the family's financial resources would be cut off and the whole family would face difficulties.
Percy still has four brothers and sisters who are still studying at Hogwarts, and they need a large amount of tuition every year. Who else can he rely on for this money but his father?
Are Bill and Charlie expected to support the family financially? They also have a family of their own.
Who can he rely on? He can't rely on himself.
Then he is just cheating on himself.
Thinking of this, he thought of the empty Gringotts vault at home, and then Percy felt inexplicably bored.
The largest sum of money he ever received was one hundred galleons.
That was Levin's payment to spy on Crouch.
0-Please give me flowers…0
He clearly remembered that he took the one hundred galleons and followed Levin's advice to buy a set of decent formal attire and accessories.
That set of clothes cost almost half of his money, but they did help him leave a good impression in the eyes of many people and laid the foundation for his later career.
This good outfit really helped him gain a good impression in the eyes of many people.
He kept the remaining fifty galleons in Gringotts, and to this day, that money accounts for almost half of his savings.
For this reason, he also wanted to join the Jaina faction.
At least they are really willing to pay.
As he worked longer, Percy gradually realized how good money is.
Thinking of this, he complained about his father even more.
He felt that his father was so stupid that he insisted on standing on Dumbledore's side when the entire Ministry of Magic drew a clear line with Dumbledore.
Although most people who draw a clear line are pretending to show Fudge, they should at least pretend to fool Fudge first.
0.......
....
If his father is really fired from the Ministry of Magic, what should the family do? Do they still need to rely on the Order of the Phoenix to help find a job?
At this time, Percy discovered that Fred and George, the naughty twins, had become the most troublesome children in the family.
Some time ago, they came to him to inquire about patents for joke products.
He found out after some conversation. The two troublemakers have already opened their own small shop in Hogwarts with Levin's funding, and the business is quite good.
It’s only right that you know how to make money at a young age.
However, Percy knew that if he was unwilling to spy on his family, he had to come up with a foolproof way to deal with Fudge.
So, how should he experience it?
Percy planned to move out of his home, so it would be impossible for Fudge to ask him to inquire about the family's information.
However, he had to come up with a valid reason for why he wanted to move out without making Fudge suspicious.
Percy began to wonder how to respond to Fudge's inquiry.
After finally getting the position of assistant minister, Percy didn't want to lose it for no reason. It was related to his future. If he wanted to do well, he had to be flexible enough.
He knew that Fudge was only incompetent in government affairs, but he had some tricks to fight for power, which showed that he was not a stupid person.
If you pretend to be too fake, you will definitely be seen.
At the same time, he must also remind his father and ask him to act carefully, lest Fudge will catch him and fire him one day, and then the family's financial resources will be cut off, which will be a disaster.
"What a bunch of guys that don't make anyone worry!"
Percy mumbled and patted his cheek hard in the mirror, trying to look more energetic.
He knew it was time for him to start performing. .
