The Trinity of Harry Potter

The next morning, Kano was sitting at the table preparing to have breakfast. After a while, he would go to Hogsmeade to meet Dumbledore to talk about next year's plans.

As for why it's not Hogwarts, no student would like to go to school during the holidays, no matter whether his grades are good or bad.

But as soon as he opened the newspaper, he couldn't control the expression on his face.

It was a notice of personnel changes that occupied a small space.

"The Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, Mr. Barty Crouch, has resigned from his position as of today due to poor health and is recuperating at home."

"Mr. Crouch will be temporarily represented by his assistant Percy Weasley."

This isn't right.

Crouch Sr. was a selfless workaholic. The only time in his life that he bent the law for personal gain was to obey his wife's wishes and rescue his son.

After that, he used the Imperius Curse to keep his son alive for more than ten years, and he devoted himself to his work with a martyr's enthusiasm.

It can be said that as long as he is still breathing, it is impossible to retire. Not because he is greedy for power, but because he has nothing but work.

Could he have been controlled by his unfilial son using the Imperius Curse? What exactly did Crouch Jr. do, and what does he want to do?

Something's wrong with Percy, too.

He just graduated last year, and after entering the Ministry of Magic, he also joined the bench department.

This time, he suddenly took over the work of the entire department as a newcomer, and this department was about to host the Triwizard Tournament, which was an opportunity to shine.

Why let him go?

Things were so confusing that Kano felt he needed to talk to someone within the Ministry of Magic.

Who is outside the Ministry of Magic system and well-informed?

So, at nine o'clock in the morning, Cano sat in the office of the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet.

"When a distinguished guest comes to visit, my little house really shines."

Gu Fei still looked the same, smiling and pouring a cup of black tea for Kano.

"I wonder why you are here today?"

"What's going on with Crouch? There's been a lot of commotion in the Ministry of Magic recently."

Kano picked up the black tea and took a sip, looking at Gu Fei.

"You don't think I know..."

Guffey's fake smile froze on his face, because Kano kept looking at him without blinking.

"Okay, I'll let you guess right. I do know some gossip. Just listen to it and don't take it seriously." Gu Fei started the conversation lightly.

As the saying goes, gossip is the most accurate news, and rumors are the most reliable sources. Kano didn't know what Gu Fei meant, so he immediately put down his tea cup and sat up straight.

"Minister Fudge is having a difficult time, and he is almost certain to abdicate within a year. Recently, many of his visionary subordinates have been active, and those high-quality talents from pure-blood families who have newly entered the Ministry of Magic have become several strong contenders.

goal.”

"Like little Weasley?"

"I can't hide it from you, but he has a relationship with Mr. Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office." Guffey whispered, "Old Crouch's son has caused him trouble and made him sit on the bench for more than ten years. Now he

My health is not very good, and this is a position where results can be achieved immediately, so naturally I have to assign it to my own people."

"So he was retired?" Cano still didn't believe it.

"Don't say that." Gu Fei waved his hand repeatedly, "He proposed to retire on his own initiative. No one really forced him."

"I think he was very high-spirited back then, but now that the Crouch family is gone, his life is really miserable."

Gu Fei was not young anymore, and he sighed empathetically. But thinking about the money he had saved over the years, he felt a lot of comfort.

This still makes it impossible to determine whether Old Crouch resigned out of his own volition. You can't break into his home and ask, right?

Kano was worried, and Gufei continued to tell Kano about the recent undercurrents in the Ministry of Magic without knowing anything.

Scrimgeour is currently the most powerful challenger, and several powerful departments are showing signs of moving closer to him. His boss, Amelia Bones, was originally the most vocal candidate for successor in private, but she publicly stated

I have no interest in the position of minister.

But, but, Mr. Fudge never listens to what others say. He stubbornly believed that Ms. Bones's statement was to paralyze him, so he simultaneously guarded Ms. Bones and Scrimgeour against each other.

Ms. Bones was so annoyed by Fudge's dirty tricks that she now went to work with a long face every day.

When the members of the Ministry of Magic who supported Ms. Bones saw this, they also knew that she was very dissatisfied with Fudge. Even though she herself had repeatedly stated that she was not interested in running, they all helped Scrimgeour.

Fudge's actions pushed most onlookers to oppose him.

Now, except for the members of the Department of Mysteries who are indifferent to everything, there are no neutral factions in the entire Ministry of Magic.

As long as he is not the "Silent Man" of the Department of Mysteries wearing a navy blue robe, then this person has only two positions, one or the other.

Every day, the Ministry of Magic is engaged in a seemingly calm battle, with swords and swords clashing between signatures and seals. I don’t know how many people like Percy have risen inexplicably, and I don’t know how many people will be settled by the queen and knocked down from power.

The consequence of this is that the already bloated and slow Ministry of Magic has become even more inefficient. They are stumbling upon each other and using hidden tricks, so that no one has the intention to do things and dare not do them.

There isn't much Kano can do. This year, while Voldemort is resurrected, he will quickly get rid of Fudge, the two idiots.

The method is also simple, just make those pure-blood families realize that Voldemort is back and they need a stronger and more effective minister.

Again, the pure-blood family members who truly follow Voldemort wholeheartedly have already gone to Azkaban, and the ones outside are all human beings.

In order not to be settled by Voldemort, they will definitely support Scrimgeour and at least let Fudge get out.

No matter who it is, I hope the next Minister can sort out the mess within the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible.

If the Ministry of Magic is still in such chaos when an all-out war breaks out, then there really is no hope.

In the original book, the Ministry of Magic was destroyed overnight in the later period, high-ranking officials died, accusers were controlled by the Imperius Curse, Scrimgeour died in office, and the Aurors, the strongest force, were invisible throughout the whole process, and later there were a few who helped the evildoers.

How many people died because of their incompetence? No one can tell.

Thinking of this, Kano suddenly remembered someone.

"Mr. Guffey, have you heard of Umbridge?"

Gu Fei patted his forehead in confusion, and then remembered: "Is that the woman who looks like a toad? She seems to have had an affair with Fudge, and it's said so in the ministry."

"No, I don't want to know this." Kano reflexively showed a disgusted expression.

"Has she ever tried to change families?"

"No, she still stands firmly on Fudge's side, and her status within the Fudge faction has risen rapidly recently," Gu Fei replied.

Kano was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

This toad is quite an expert.
