Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)

“I hate change.”

In the small room behind the curtain, which is only separated by a door between the meeting room, Inside Fudge thinking with a gloomy face. As he all alone, his expression became unconcealed, and anyone who saw this face would not associate him with a wishy-washy and unassertive person.

He did not come out of the room until the people in the parlour had dispersed, and Rufus Scrimgeour once again returned and stood before Fudge.

“Minister, Mr. Hap has left; he went with Mr. Scamander, and they seem to know each other.”

“Is that so.” Fudge whispered, Scamander, once again another unpleasant name, he had some trouble breathing now, he seemed to be trapped in a web, deeper and deeper, how to break free.

And in the center of this web is an old man with silver-white hair and beard and blue eyes – an old man named Albus Dumbledore.

No one wants to be a puppet, although at the beginning of his inauguration, in order to secure his position, he ran to Hogwarts three times a day, making a posture of standing with the greatest wizard in the world at present, Now after a few years, he finally gradually stabilized the position of Minister of Magic.

In the last year or two, he no longer likes to do that, especially since his own excellent performance in last year’s Ilvermorny student protests added a lot of points for him, and speaking of which, this Felix Hap was there and was a key figure.

Fudge got even more itchy thinking about it, so he asked Scrimgeour, “Has Barty Crouch made any moves recently?”

Rufus Scrimgeour understood what he meant, “No, he’s been preparing for next year’s Triwizard Tournament, well, or rather, the Quadruple Tournament … who knows? Some people within the ministry has suggested pulling a few more countries in, so we might as well add extra Goblet of Fire, anyway, since it will definitely be readjusted.”

Fudge nodded lightly, Barty Crouch is a strong contender for the position under his ass, in fact, if it were not for the end of the war and the sudden outbreak of the scandal that his son, working with three other Death Eaters, and tortured the Longbottoms together into madness, causing Crouch’s reputation to plummet, he would not have picked up the slack and got this post.

Not long afterward, Crouch’s wife died, and his son also died in Azkaban, which led to Crouch’s devastation, and he chose to remain in the Department of International Magical Co-operation. But Fudge won’t forget how popular the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement used to be during the war years.

Similarly, tough former Minister of Magic Millicent Bagnold was very optimistic about Barty Crouch taking over her position, but unfortunately, no … should say, fortunately, it went so wrong.

Fudge thought about it and asked about the organization of the Quidditch World Cup, this time Scrimgeour didn’t look too good, “It’s not going very well, Mr. Bagman’s work has only just got off the ground, he then sent his staff Bertha Jorkins to investigate the site environment, but Ms. Jorkins is notorious for her poor memory, she can confuse even the simplest reports …”

Fudge’s face turned red and looked as if he wanted to hit someone. He held back his anger and said, “Bagman, what is he doing alone?”

“Uh … he went to a fan party of the Wimbourne Wasps two days ago, and as you know, despite retirement, he is still one of the most popular Beater.”

Fudge of course knew, that the young Ludo Bagman had been a very good Beater, which was how he had ended up as Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and even the fact that Bagman had once been accused of passing information to Death Eater August Lakewood, but because he had done so well in a Quidditch match the week before, people had felt too fondly of him and let him get away with it.

Barty Crouch was the judge of that trial …

A thought crossed Fudge’s mind, and he asked Scrimgeour gently, “What do you think, what if I put the two of them together?”

“What?”

” Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman, they don’t need to divide anything between us, they can simply finish the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament together.”

“This …” Scrimgeour wanted to scratch his head, these two people didn’t get along well, and he couldn’t help but remember the impression they left on him –

The impression that Barty left on the members of the Ministry of Magic is that he was tough and decisive during wartime and cold-hearted during the post-war trials, and he even personally judged Barty Crouch Jr. guilty.

Ludo Bagman, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He is an international-level athlete, with ample physical strength and a simple mind, and despite his not-so-young age, anyone who meets him for the first time will be attracted by his round blue eyes, blond hair, and rosy complexion, all of which make him look like a big boy.

Scrimgeour tried to imagine the two working together – Mr. Crouch preparing to communicate about issues, only to find that there is no Bagman to be found, he is either in a meeting with a fan or busy placing a bet on one of the Quidditch matches.

But having said that, Mr. Bagman’s vision is indeed accurate, a small part of his fortune is won by gambling, would he be involved in this year’s Quidditch World Cup betting as well, Mr. Bagman is said to be quite generous and happy to bring others along to play …

“Rufus?”

Rufus Scrimgeour came back to his senses and thought carefully before finally giving a painless suggestion, “Mr. Crouch is serious, Mr. Bagman is affectionate, and a partnership between them might, might … have unexpected benefits? ”

“Then it’s settled,” Fudge said decisively, “you bring it up in the next meeting, I will cooperate with you.”

“Understood.”

“Also, what is Umbridge up to, how did I hear she ran off to Diagon Alley, quite a few people have approached me with complaints.”

“Minister, actually it is Knockturn Alley, we received accurate information, Sirius Black appeared in Knockturn Alley, and sneaked up on a wizard, should be a dark wizard … Anyway, then snatched his wand.”

Fudge furrowed his brow, this is not quite what he had in mind. “You let her go back to Hogsmeade -” he actually wanted to say Hogwarts, but Dumbledore firmly disagreed, but also because of the previous Dementors out of control thing had unpleasant memories, thinking about it, he again felt a toothache, this matter can also be associated with Felix Hap, God knows how surprised he was when he learned that the dementors shrunk.

Since then, he had paid attention to this person.

Calming the Ilvermorny students in France who attacked the international conference venue; curing the Longbottoms, the war heroes who were sentenced to death by St. Mungo’s; and making Azkaban guards dementors shrink …

Seemingly unconnected, but this actually all represents one word, strength, this Felix Hap has an extremely strong practical combat ability.

‘Could he be another Dumbledore, how can I make him work for me?’ Fudge’s mind revolving around this thought.
