"Professor Dumbledore, I don't think so. In fact, wizards, centaurs and goblins are all the same."
"You are right that wizards are hypocritical, but goblins are greedy. As long as they have enough money, they will sell everything. In their eyes, perhaps only the golden Galleons are worthy of respect. The centaurs claim to be the representatives of the stars. They only look at the stars every day and wait for their guidance. They are arrogant. It is not so much that wizards always look at them with prejudice. It is better to say that the centaurs have looked down on wizards from the beginning. To gain their respect, you must become a star."
Dudley's words are indeed correct. No matter how backward you think the centaurs tribe is or how sparse their population is.
But people themselves feel that they are the most noble, and they are the protagonists of this world.
"Even excluding wizards, centaurs and goblins despise each other. They all have the prejudices you say. How can you make wizards treat them equally?"
You can't just mention the issue of wizards and not mention anything else. If you want to talk about it, just put it all together.
There is no problem with centaurs and goblins, but it can be said to be a problem with wizards. The problem is that they are not very good either.
Dumbledore's words are thought-provoking and worthy of reflection.
But the problem doesn't stop with the wizards.
What's the use of just introspection?
You can't have a hot face but a cold butt, right?
As for the house elves, Dudley had not studied them in depth. As the saying goes, without investigation, there is no right to speak, so Dudley did not comment on them.
"That makes sense."
Hearing Dudley's words, Dumbledore did not refute, but nodded repeatedly.
This is what makes Dumbledore different from many other wizards, he can tolerate other people's voices.
If that hadn't happened, maybe Dumbledore and the man in the tower could have really changed the world together.
If it were Voldemort who heard someone questioning his words, it would be easy to reward him with an Avatar. Most likely, he would first be tortured to the point of collapse by a 'heart-breaking' attack, and then rewarded with an Avatar.
The two took the elevator to the second floor. The old-fashioned elevator kept making creaking sounds, and it felt like it might fall apart at any time. With a mechanical 'ding-dong' sound, they arrived at the destination of their trip—— Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has three branches: the Office for the Abuse of Magic, the Auror Command, and the Wizengamot Governing Body.
Ron and Percy's father, Arthur Weasley's Ministry of Magic's Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, is on this floor and is a subsidiary agency of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic.
The area on the second floor is the same as the main hall on the eighth underground floor, but there are obviously far fewer wizards seen.
Dumbledore led Dudley to the Wizengamot Management Agency with ease.
"Albus, you're finally here."
Not long after entering the hall, a very old-looking witch walked over.
"Geselda, nice to meet you."
Dudley could hear a hint of respect in Dumbledore's tone.
Judging from the appearance, this is a witch similar to Professor McGonagall, except that she is older than Professor McGonagall.
Gsilda Marchbain, senior member of the Wizengamot and director of the Wizarding Examination Authority.
It is said that a hundred years ago, he served as Dumbledore's...examination examiner.
She can be ranked among the top three in the entire Ministry of Magic in terms of qualifications.
Before the two of them could talk for long, another dull voice sounded.
"Is it because of this child that you came here? Our nominal chief wizard, you haven't come here for more than ten years."
This was a wizard who looked equally older.
Tiberus Ogden, a veteran member of the Wizengamot, is an old wizard who has worked as long as Gsilda (some unofficial works set him as the warden of Nurmengard).
Gsilda Marchbain and Tiberus Ogden were Dumbledore's few old friends in the Ministry of Magic.
"Tiberus, if you want this chief wizard."
Before Dumbledore could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tiberus with a wave of his hand.
"Albus, don't say such things again. The chief wizard of the Wizengamot can only be you."
"You don't know, the members of the Wizengamot have changed a lot over the years, and many of the wizards who came up have no skills."
"That guy Fudge has made this place a mess."
The first thing an old friend who hadn't seen for many years did when they reunited was to complain, and his dislike for Fudge was not concealed between the lines.
Only veterans like them can say this. Even the Minister of Magic can't do anything to them. At most, they can ignore them.
By the way, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, is also a member of the Wizengamot.
Although the Wizengamot is established within the Ministry of Magic, it should actually be an independent organization from the Ministry of Magic.
The Chief Wizard should be the equivalent of the Minister of Magic.
In recent years, due to Dumbledore's completely laissez-faire attitude, the Wizengamot has been infiltrated by the Ministry of Magic, and has been replaced by many wizards from the Ministry of Magic factions. The chief wizard's gold content has also been greatly reduced, and his power has been greatly reduced. Almost lost.
But Dumbledore didn't care, he had promised to stay away from the center of power.
"Tibelus, we'll talk about it later." Gsilda said with a straight face and displeasure, "Don't waste time and make others wait for too long."
As soon as Gsilda opened her mouth, Tibelus shut her mouth decisively, like a little daughter-in-law who had lived for hundreds of years.
Dudley followed a few people to an auditorium, where many people of various sizes were sitting, all of whom, without exception, were wearing Wizengamot's trademark clothing.
In the entire auditorium, only Dudley and Dumbledore's outfits were slightly different.
Dumbledore said it didn't matter, and walked to the stage with Dudley, as long as he wasn't embarrassed by others.
After Dudley and Dumbledore came in, the investiture ceremony officially began.
The Restoration Charm is a greater invention than Wolfsbane Potion.
Wolfsbane potion can keep werewolves sane on full moon nights and weaken the threat of werewolves from the side. The advent of the humanoid restoration spell can completely eliminate the werewolf crisis. Damocles Belby, the inventor of the Wolfsbane potion, could be awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, so naturally Dudley, who created the humanoid restoration spell, was not to mention.
Even if this is the result of research by the two wizards Heimel and Dudley.
Witnessed by twenty members of the Wizengamot, Dudley and Highmore were each awarded an Order of Merlin, First Class (since Highmore had passed away, the other Order of Merlin was also awarded to Dudley on his behalf).
The whole process went very smoothly.
To put it bluntly, it is a process of passing on medals.
After the medals were awarded, not a single wizard left the scene, they were all waiting quietly.
Witness the youngest member of the Wizengamot in history.
