Study Days at Hogwarts
Chapter 962 For myself
On the day he became Assistant Minister, Percy locked himself in his room and thought hard about what was going to happen next. He knew that he had to take sides, especially if he wanted to secure his position as Assistant Minister, he had to make a decision between Fudge and Dumbledore. The right choice.
Is Dumbledore really that old and confused?
Of course, Percy would not be stupid enough to think that. Anyone with any brains would know what the current situation in the Ministry of Magic was.
"Saint" Albus Dumbledore's actions obviously touched Fudge's interests, causing the two people who had a good relationship to break up.
This kind of thing is actually normal. Just look at the bad idea Dumbledore gave Fudge. Maybe he didn't have any special ideas, but as a politician, it's not surprising that Fudge would have other ideas.
At present, Dumbledore is probably going to face a series of suppression. Percy has no interest in joining in the fun, otherwise his future will be completely ruined. Standing on Fudge's side is undoubtedly the best choice. Even if Fudge may step down in the future, Percy Already got the benefits.
To cultivate an excellent Ministry of Magic official, you need to be given sufficient experience, and Assistant to the Minister is a great position.
If you want to be promoted in the future, although network resources are indispensable, your own abilities must also be strong enough. If you want to have good abilities, you need to go through experience and trial and error. The resources of the Ministry of Magic are limited.
However, the idea of Fudge asking him to be a spy seemed ridiculous to Percy. He suspected that this was a bad idea that Fudge came up with without thinking. He really wanted to climb up, but he had never thought of betraying his family. If his father was fired from the Ministry of Magic, the family's financial resources would be cut off, and the whole family would have to How to survive? Percy has four brothers and sisters who are still studying at Hogwarts and need a large amount of tuition every year. Can he expect the unreliable Bill and Charlie to support the family's finances?
Don't be kidding, they can hardly support themselves, let alone others.
Every time he thought of the empty Gringotts vaults, Percy felt inexplicably sad.
How could his father be so stupid? The wizards in the entire ministry were trying to distance themselves from Dumbledore. Although most of them were pretending to show Fudge, but... they had to at least pretend to fool Fudge first.
If he was really fired from the Ministry of Magic, could he still expect the Order of the Phoenix to help him find a job?
Fred and George, who now ask him for patents on funny products, have become the most troublesome in the family. He knew that the two naughty men were ready to open their own shop with Albert.
Percy planned to move out of his home. As long as he moved out, there was no chance that Fudge would let him inquire about the family's information. But what should he do to prevent Fudge from doubting himself?
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.
However, you can't think of Fudge too stupid, otherwise he will really be a fool. If you pretend too much, you will definitely be seen, and you must also remind the idiot father, lest he really be caught by Fudge one day. He was fired and the family's financial source was cut off.
At this moment, Percy thought of Albert. He felt that the guy might have expected this situation from the beginning, thinking about the last letter he wrote to him a while ago.
The relationship there must be temporarily severed. After all, Albert is very hateful now, and he obviously knows this very well.
I heard that Fudge was disarmed a while ago, and Amelia Bones was even tricked abroad. The Aurors searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. In the end, Amelia Bones ran back by herself. .
"They are all a bunch of troublesome guys!" Percy muttered, and patted his cheek hard in the mirror, showing a triumphant smile. He knew it was time for him to start performing.
While everyone was eating, Percy proudly announced the good news of his promotion to everyone.
The Weasley family, who were originally discussing joining the Order of the Phoenix, fell silent instantly.
"You were promoted?" Fred looked shocked. "They actually promoted you?"
"Why not?" Percy glared at his brother dissatisfied.
"I thought you caused a lot of trouble with Crouch." George also felt puzzled. This fact was too abnormal.
"That's just an excuse they give themselves. As long as you use your brain, you will know that no one will actively suspect that their boss has a problem. Does this mean they don't want to work in the Ministry of Magic?" Percy said contemptuously: "Mr. Crouch's investigation It’s over, they thought I had good abilities, so they promoted me.”
The Weasleys looked at each other in disbelief.
Sensing something was wrong, Mr. Weasley asked tentatively: "What kind of position did they give you?"
"I became Minister Fudge's assistant in the Office of the Minister of Magic." Percy excitedly announced the good news to everyone.
For someone just one year out of Hogwarts, this was a dream job. However, no one in the Weasley family was happy about Percy's promotion, because some time ago, Fudge was furious in the ministry and prohibited anyone from having any contact with Dumbledore.
Now that Percy has become the assistant minister, this seems weird.
"This thing is totally weird. I suspect that Fudge placed you in his office just to use you to spy on our family, or - spy on Dumbledore." Mr. Weasley put down his knife and fork and stared at his son, " Did you agree?"
The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became weird, and everyone held their breath.
"Yes, I agreed." Percy admitted directly.
"How could you agree to someone spying on your family?" Mrs. Weasley looked at her son angrily, already realizing that something was about to happen.
"Why don't you agree?" Percy looked at his father and said, "You probably don't know how bad your situation is in the Ministry, and you probably don't know that because of you, I have a bad life in the Ministry of Magic. How hard it is. When people hear my name is Weasley, they will look at me strangely. Ever since I entered the Ministry of Magic, I have been struggling desperately to get rid of the influence of your bad reputation. Otherwise, there is no hope at all. Do you know how hopeless it is to be promoted and just hang around at the bottom? Fortunately, I am the only one in the family who has entered the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, do you know how many people would blame you for this? "
Percy ignored Mr. Weasley's gradually distorted face and revealed all the pain he had suffered this year.
"You haven't even considered my situation, why you haven't been promoted for so many years, and why the situation at home is so bad. Have you really not thought about the reason at all?"
"Are you done?"
Mr. Weasley slammed the plate in front of him to the ground and glared at his son dissatisfiedly. If Mrs. Weasley hadn't held him back, he would probably have gone up and beat him.
"Percy, you should apologize to your father." Bill frowned and stared at his brother. He suddenly felt that Percy had become very strange.
"Fudge is already suspicious of you." Percy warned coldly, "He is considering whether to kick you out of the Ministry of Magic. What will happen to the family if you lose your current job? Fred, George, Ron You and Ginny are still in school, are you going to let them suspend school? You have no idea how uncomfortable they are at school?"
"Shut up Percy."
Bill felt that Percy was going too far and planned to stop him from continuing.
"Bill, you haven't experienced it yourself. You don't know how many strange looks you have to endure when you go to school with second-hand books and second-hand robes. Especially in the first year of the freshman year, I was laughed at a lot." Percy glared at his father angrily: "Don't you know that this will probably make us unable to hold our heads high in front of others?"
Everyone else looked at Percy dumbfounded. Although what Percy said was indeed correct,... how dare he say it like this.
At some point, Mrs. Weasley began to cry, and everyone glared at Percy, thinking he had gone too far.
"I know you want to join the Order of the Phoenix, but have you really not considered Dumbledore's current situation? He has a lot of big troubles of his own, and you are still getting together with Dumbledore. Are you trying to follow him? Are we all unlucky? It's just extremely stupid." Percy glared at his father without showing any signs of weakness and sneered: "Everyone thinks that Dumbledore is too stupid to let Azkaban escape from the control of the Dementors. You dare to speak out about the bad idea of sending a peace messenger to the giants. Do you really not know what will happen if Azkaban is freed from the control of the dementors? Can sending a peace messenger to the giants really win over the giants? "
"Dumbledore had his reasons for doing that. The mysterious man came back to Percy. Both Harry and Dumbledore saw it with their own eyes." Mrs. Weasley looked at her son with pleading eyes, hoping that Percy would not continue to make trouble. Went down.
"Without evidence, who would believe it?" The expression on Percy's face became even weirder: "The only evidence now is what they said. However, this alone cannot convince anyone, especially when Dumbledore said those stupid things. Afterwards, many people thought he was old and confused and that he could no longer be trusted.”
"Albert has long believed that the mysterious man will come back. He said that in the next few years, the entire magical world will be in chaos." Fred and George looked at each other and reminded: "I remember you and him We have a good relationship, you should be aware of his divination ability!"
"Have you seen Albert stand up and claim that the mysterious man is back?" Percy looked at his brother and asked, "No, Albert didn't do that because he knew very well that without evidence, he would What a stupid thing it was to spread the news that the mysterious man was back. Most of the wizards in the entire Ministry of Magic were working overtime just because Dumbledore spread rumors randomly. Everyone was gnashing their teeth in hatred for Dumbledore deliberately causing trouble. "
"If Dumbledore really wanted to solve all the troubles, he should have proposed killing all the vicious prisoners in Azkaban and letting the giants completely disappear from Britain, instead of proposing something that was simply impossible to succeed. To cause trouble for everyone with stupid suggestions.”
"Are you done?" Mr. Weasley threw the object in his hand at Percy.
"I know very well who I should be loyal to. If you insist on betraying the Ministry of Magic and joining that illegal organization, then I will no longer belong to this family." Percy dodged the things thrown by Mr. Weasley and went upstairs to pack his luggage. , Apparated and left the Weasley family.
Mrs. Weasley realized something was wrong after the sound of Apparition came from upstairs. When she hurried upstairs, she found that all of Percy's things were missing.
Percy is gone, leaving this home.
"He's gone." Mrs. Weasley looked like she might break down at any moment.
"Let him go, just pretend I don't have this son!" Mr. Weasley said coldly, and the hall fell into a strange silence.
"No, Arthur, you can't do this."
Mrs. Weasley was going to find Percy and talk to him. She could probably guess where Percy would go.
In fact, there aren't many places Percy can go right now.
Everyone ate in a hurry and gathered in Bill's room to discuss the matter. Soon they heard the sound of things being thrown downstairs again.
"This thing is weird." George said directly.
"What's weird?" Bill asked puzzledly.
"Percy is not a fool. There is no way he could not have guessed the mysterious man's return." Fred analyzed carefully: "Then why did he do that?"
"Why?" Ginny's mind was in confusion.
"Because Percy is a fool with an excessive desire for power." Fred sneered.
"Assistant to the Minister of Magic is undoubtedly a good job for him." George said helplessly: "He must have been very frustrated in recent months. You know, Percy wanted to be the Minister of Magic, so...he chose I believe that the Ministry of Magic will be more beneficial to him and he can use this opportunity to climb up."
"So, he didn't hesitate to fall out with his father and leave our family?" The expression on Ginny's face was quite wonderful, as if she couldn't believe this.
"Don't be surprised, he just took sides." George said helplessly, "Siding with the side that is more beneficial to him."
"Dad hasn't thought about these problems?"
Bill suddenly realized something and looked at Fred and George with strange eyes.
"He's probably crazy!" Fred shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like that. After spending a long time with Albert, your way of thinking will always become somewhat similar to his."
"Is this really true?" Ron stared at the twin brothers in shock.
"Probably!" Fred shrugged and said, "Percy is a profit-seeking idiot. I'm not surprised at all that he would do this."
"Many issues are actually related to interests. Fudge and Dumbledore had a falling out because of this reason." George explained to several people, "Dumbledore's approach will pull Fudge from the position of Minister of Magic. This kind of thing Fudge Naturally, this was intolerable. In order to preserve his position and power, Fudge could only keep Dumbledore and Harry in the dark and deny that the mysterious man had been resurrected."
"But……"
"There's nothing good about it." Fred interrupted, "Fudge will never tolerate losing his position as minister, because it will greatly harm his interests, and the resurrection of the mysterious man is a matter for the entire British wizarding community, and What does Fudge have to do with him? Maybe he has already resigned."
"That's why Albert hates politicians." George spread his hands and said, "They always say they have no moral integrity and will do anything for their own interests."
