John had not thought that much about Old Jack, and he had never thought that what he had done would make Old Jack die loyal to him.
Maybe his concept is different from others.
Dumbledore is a pure-blood, and even though he has no prejudice against any wizard, he still has the arrogance of a pure-blood in his bones.
Even he himself didn't notice his condescending attitude toward the magical world.
According to the Celestial Empire, it can be regarded as inaction.
All he cares about are matters related to the survival of the magical world.
Dumbledore couldn't care about those 'little things'.
Oh, right.
Except Harry Potter.
Voldemort, who was the product of love potion, was born with no understanding of love. He thought more about how to build prestige through fear.
This requires constant killing to establish power, and he is destined not to feel the feelings of ordinary people.
As for the savior of the wizarding world, although Harry grew up in a Muggle society, from the moment he came into contact with magic, he was already biased towards wizards.
Because magic is the only thing in the world that can bring him a sense of security, and this sense of security is irreplaceable.
Everything he had was only gained after entering the magical world.
There is endless wealth in Gringotts.
The revered title of savior.
A close friend in the magic school.
A kind and kind elder.
He actually enjoys all of this, so much so that staying in Muggle society feels like a prison for him.
For example, when Mr. Weasley went to pick up Harry, the Weasley family was close to Muggles, but he also casually destroyed half of the Dursley family's living room.
Arrogance exists without knowing it.
For werewolves, the savior is a name that can often be heard, Dumbledore is an unreachable person, and Voldemort is a person with evil intentions.
Only Johnny Silverhand put change in front of him, making Old Jack convinced that he was the savior.
No matter if it was a deliberate show, or it was just an inadvertent display of wealth to him.
None of this is important. The best evidence is that the things are there.
Lupine kept his promise and left after the evening.
John is busy with the election of Old Batty, and he needs to get enough votes for Old Batty.
The best way is to give money.
Spending real money is simple and crude, but practical.
The position of the Minister of Magic is too far away for ordinary people, but the immediate benefits are more tangible.
Under John's push, Old Barty's votes skyrocketed.
Old Barty's speech skills were very poor, so John hired a famous bullshit master and Lockhart to give him tutoring lessons.
This election method, which is commonly used by Western Muggles, directly confused the simple wizards.
Watching old Batty give a passionate speech on the stage, giving away free eggs, and drawing a big and round pie, many people were still unsatisfied.
For example, Old Barty will step up efforts to crack down on illegal poaching of wild magical animals.
Old Barty promised that after taking office, he would lead the local magic community to lead other countries.
Local manufacturing will be reused and taxes on alcohol in special areas will be reduced.
Strive to combat Death Eaters in three years and completely eliminate Death Eaters in five years.
As the cakes were drawn one by one, there were dozens of them, and the local wizards were all excited.
Even John gave Old Barty a hard time. Forget it about Lockhart, the guy who wrote the book, you dare to brag about it as a person doing serious business.
With the help of real money and big cakes, Old Barty successfully crushed Amelia more than once.
During that time, the low pressure on Amelia made Pierce careful not to be caught.
Not only that, Amelia's low pressure was more due to the disparagement of her in the newspapers.
As long as she makes a small mistake, Amelia will be attacked mercilessly.
For example, she just asked someone to help pour a glass of water.
The next day's newspapers will read "Three Inhumane Things That Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, did to treat her subordinates harshly".
It's obviously a small thing, but it can develop into a bullying incident in the workplace.
One time she just didn't smile when she met Old Batty, and the newspaper said she was resentful because she expressed dissatisfaction with the election.
Anyway, the image of being narrow-minded and dictatorial is all pinned on her.
This made Amelia angry and helpless at the same time.
Because people really believe this.
Her vote barely moved again.
Of course, John was behind all of this.
He asked Rita to write an article in the newspaper, and the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet wanted to stop it.
John entered the newspaper as an investor. Let alone stop him, he had to accept it even if he asked them to write together.
Because John really gave too much.
Rita's status rose again, which made her smile from ear to ear.
Having been coerced into working in the first place, the rewards she received made her loyal to John.
Finally, everything has settled.
Old Barty is elected Minister of Magic.
This result satisfied everyone except the Amelia faction. 33
Some Ministry of Magic officials even have several broomsticks in their homes.
And the first hurdle after Old Batty took office also appeared.
Regarding Harry Potter's use of a Patronus Charm in front of Muggles to deal with the incident, Dumbledore himself served as the savior's defender.
Two keywords.
Harry Potter.
Dumbledore.
One is a famous savior in the wizarding world, and the other is the principal of Hogwarts, the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world today.
Just one of them is already extremely troublesome, let alone two of them together.
It is necessary not only to maintain the credibility of the Ministry of Magic, but also to take into account the expectations of the people and Dumbledore's face.
Old Barty finally understood why Amelia looked like she was watching a good show after he was elected.
"She tricked me. The Office for the Abuse of Magic is a subordinate department of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."
Old Barty secretly hated that Amelia, who seemed to be upright, also had small thoughts.
John knew about this, after all, he saw the letter from the Ministry of Magic with his own eyes.
In his view, this incident was a good opportunity to reduce Dumbledore's power.
...
On the day Barty Sr. was elected, Harry also changed.
This summer vacation, he returned to the state of the Dursleys.
The Dursleys were very excited to go out that day because they received a winning letter from nowhere.
They just left, leaving Harry alone in the house with nowhere to go.
Sudden.
He clearly heard a splash in the kitchen below.
Harry sat up and listened.
There was no way the Dursleys were back so soon, and he didn't hear the car.
After a few seconds of silence, the sound of voices was heard.
"Thief?"
Harry thought to himself, quietly got off the bed, grabbed the wand on the bedside, and stood facing the door.
Listen with your full attention.
The door flew open and Harry jumped.
He even thought it might be an attack from Death Eaters and looked through the door.
There were several people standing in the dim foyer, and it seemed to Harry that they were all looking up in his direction.
This put Harry on edge.
A familiar voice sounded, making Harry's heart beat uncontrollably.
"Put down your wand, kid, before you gouge someone's eyes out."
...
Some people died, but not completely...
