Chapter 460
《Eastern Europe Upheaval - The Bear Country is turned upside down, former Minister of Magic Waldoski steps down, and Principal Costolis takes over.》
Usually, the Daily Prophet is only delivered every morning, but in case of emergency, it will be supplemented.
Obviously, a coup in a large country is enough to be called an emergency.
Wayne's eyes narrowed after seeing the title.
Immediately opened the newspaper to check the details.
The entire newspaper only has two pages, very thin, all about the coup.
These are all messages sent from the Bear Country, and some places are not introduced in detail, only a rough process.
The coup took a very short time from launch to end. It started at 3 pm local time and was settled at 6 pm.
Nearly half of the main officials of the Ministry of Magic were controlled before they could react. There were also betrayers among the Aurors around the Minister of Magic. After a battle, the specific casualties were unknown, but the final winner was obvious - Principal Katerina announced herself as the new Minister of Magic at the first time.
"Isn't this a rebellion... I didn't expect Principal Katerina to be this kind of person." Cedric also held a newspaper in his hand and exclaimed in a low voice.
He had a deep impression of Katerina. In his impression, she was a strong and protective female principal, but she looked very decent and was very fair when scoring her.
It was completely impossible to see that she was an ambitious person.
"If it fails, it's called rebellion, and if it succeeds... it's called rectifying the chaos." Wayne replied casually.
Cedric fell into deep thought.
It makes sense
The protagonist of the article is undoubtedly Katerina, but this handwriting, Wayne looked up and saw Dumbledore also looking at the newspaper in a deep manner.
Feeling his gaze, he also looked over and raised his head. Wayne understood what he meant and nodded without saying anything.
The sudden news did not interfere with the normal progress of the banquet. Although the little wizards were shocked at first glance at the newspaper.
But the Bear Country is too far away from here after all. After the shock, they just took it as a lively event and did not feel anything.
Eat and play as you should, but they would only mention it in casual chats and feel it is very novel.
When the banquet ended, Wayne did not follow the badgers back to the lounge, but walked upstairs, greeted the two gargoyles, and went into the office.
Dumbledore had already brewed hot tea and was waiting.
Wayne had just taken a sip when he heard him say, "This matter is most likely related to Tom."
"I thought so too." Wayne shrugged and said, "But it doesn't make any difference."
"Yeah, it doesn't make any difference." Dumbledore sighed softly, "Tom is much smarter than Voldemort."
"If he is using a conspiracy, we may still have a chance to intervene, but for such a big thing as a coup, we only get the news after everything is settled. If we intervene forcefully,It will cause international disputes. "
Dumbledore felt that Tom was difficult to deal with.
Unlike Voldemort's reign of terror, Tom's way of using conspiracy and conventional means to achieve his goals was even more unsolvable.
He was never good at playing tricks, nor did he like dealing with people in the system.
Wayne lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Fortunately, he had made three rules with Tom before and could not reveal any information about him.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that when Dumbledore and Tom met in the future, Tom would suddenly say "Respected Teacher Wayne Lawrence".
"Principal, the beast always has a moment to show its fangs." Wayne changed the subject and comforted, "With Tom's ambition, it will never end with a coup."
"We just need to wait patiently for him to make a mistake."
Dumbledore nodded, "Yes, now we can only wait. In addition, we need to cut off the cooperation between Voldemort and Tom and not let them contact too closely. "
"I think..." Wayne rubbed his hands, "You should first consider how to solve the upcoming troubles."
"Me?" Dumbledore was stunned.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Wayne smiled shyly, "Who do you think is the most panicked now that Katerina has gone from being the principal to the Minister of Magic? "
Dumbledore pondered for a moment, and suddenly his mind became clear, and he murmured a name.
"Fudge..."
That's right.
If you ask who in the whole of Britain reacted the most to the Russian coup, except Dumbledore and Vane.
It is undoubtedly Cornelius Fudge.
Not only because he is the Minister of Magic, he must not only take care of domestic affairs, but also pay attention to changes in the international situation.
The identity of Katerina alone will touch his sensitive nerves.
The principal of the magic school successfully rebelled and drove the minister out of office...
Fudge was already sweating profusely at this time, thinking of the scene of himself being driven away by Dumbledore.
"Minister, can you take a look at this speech? ”
Qiu’s father, Mr. Zhang, as the deputy director of the International Cooperation Department, needs to express his attitude on behalf of the British Ministry of Magic.
Fudge came back to his senses, took the speech and looked at it. It was quite standard, but it was dazzling.
He turned the parchment over and said to Mr. Zhang in his puzzled eyes: "Let’s not express our attitude first and see how other countries react."
"Okay." Although Mr. Zhang was a little puzzled, he nodded in agreement.
"Zhang." Fudge said in a low voice, "Your daughter is Wayne’s girlfriend, right?"
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly admitted: "Yes."
"Do me a favor, Zhang." Fudge immediately became cordial, "Help me make an appointment with Mr. Lawrence, I need to talk to him about the recent situation."
"Me?"
"Why don’t you just go to him directly? ”
“No, it’s better for you to come. I believe you. As long as you canMr. Lawrence, please come out. I promise that you will be promoted to the director immediately. "
What I am doing now is no different from that of the director.
Mr. Zhang complained in his heart, but did not refuse. After all, Fudge was his immediate superior, so he had to give him some face.
Seeing that he agreed, Fudge's smile became more friendly.
After Mr. Zhang left, he quickly wrote a letter to Umbridge, asking her to come to the Ministry of Magic early tomorrow morning.
Then, he began to think about how to deal with the changes in the Bear Country this time.
Far away in St. Petersburg.
The Bear Country's Ministry of Magic is located here. It is an ancient castle with a thousand-year history, and its architectural style is full of Orthodox colors.
As the largest country in the entire European continent, the number of wizards in the Bear Country is more than twice that of the United Kingdom, which is definitely a force that cannot be ignored.
The entire Ministry of Magic also has more than a thousand employees.
The most central building, which is similar to a church, is the office of the Minister of Magic and the staff of the Minister's Office.
In the Minister's Office, Katerina, the absolute focus of the magic world today, did not sit on the Minister's throne she had worked hard to get. Instead, it was a young man with black hair and green eyes.
And Katerina was standing respectfully opposite him.
"Mr. Riddle, we have finally taken the first step." Katerina said excitedly.
Tom smiled faintly: "Katerina, our dream has not yet come true, and we still need to work hard."
"You are right." Katerina nodded solemnly: "So, I think you are the most suitable to be the Minister of Magic."
"No, you are wrong. "Tom shook his head and said, "Your status and reputation are far above mine. I am more suitable to be in the dark, clearing obstacles for you and building the country of your dreams together."
"As for the position of minister...it is not important at all."
Katerina was once again impressed by Riddle's broad mind, "So what should we do next? Should we bring Latvia, White Bear, Ukraine and other countries back under control?"
Tom looked far away and looked to the southwest, "A friend of mine once said that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. This sentence makes a lot of sense."
"First, try those guilty pure-blood families one by one, take over all resources and companies, and don't let those despicable pure-bloods suck the blood of our compatriots again."
"From now on, there will be no exploitation in the magic world. Everything will be distributed according to work and needs. ”
Katerina wrote down everything and asked hesitantly, "The school..."
"What do you think of me being the principal?" Tom said with a smile.
Katerina naturally had no objection. Her dream was to build a country with equal rights like this country, the former Muggle society.
It was not until Tom appeared that she really saw hope.
"Remember, don't use too harsh means." Tom warned, noticing the murderous intent between Katerina's eyebrows.
"Every wizard is a valuable asset. Just send the guilty ones to reform, and don't kill them casually."
"I understand." Katerina nodded and went out to arrange the work.
In the room, Tom was the only one left.
He slowly closed his palms and said in a faint tone, "Master Lawrence, I still remember your teachings clearly."
Wizards should not be divided into different levels, but... except him. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
From now on, all wizards in the entire Bear Country will contribute to the prosperity of the magic world.
And he will stand above the sky and rule everything.
This is...under one person.
Hogwarts.
Wayne didn't know that his only student had distorted his ideas beyond recognition.
After returning from the principal's office, he fell asleep and didn't take Tom's trouble seriously at all.
In terms of deeds, not heart, at this point, Tom's actions are actually not out of line. Letting him do something is actually good for the development of the whole world.
So Wayne is not as worried as Dumbledore.
The next day, he got up and went to class as usual, being a well-behaved student.
The fifth-grade students followed Newt out of the Forbidden Forest. This time, Newt took them to visit the most dangerous creature in the Forbidden Forest - the manticore.
This is a very dangerous 5X magical creature, famous for the gentle humming it makes when devouring its prey, and its fur almost repels all magical effects.
The three-headed hellhound, famous for its high magic resistance, is a rag doll in front of the manticore, vulnerable.
Moreover, the scorpion tail beast has mastered human language and possesses extremely high intelligence. Among the magical creatures of level 5X, it is the most difficult to deal with.
This one in the Forbidden Forest came from Greece two and a half years ago. []
It also became friends with Hagrid and helped him breed a large number of blasting skrewts.
With its strong affinity, Newt quickly became friends with the scorpion tail beast.
This is also the reason why he dared to bring the young wizards here.
With Newt's presence, the scorpion tail beast (very good) became very easy to talk to, and even demonstrated its hunting skills in person, which frightened Master Xiao Wu pale.
Newt's purpose was not to let students learn how to fight this creature, but to let everyone understand the danger of the scorpion tail beast and run away quickly when they encounter it in the future.
Before leaving, Wayne stayed alone and had a friendly physical exchange with the scorpion tail beast and borrowed some of its fur.
Looking at the large bald patch on its body, the Scorpion Tailed Beast felt like crying but had no tears.
The magic defense it was so proud of had no effect at all when facing this little wizard. Even the simplest magic hurt him.
“Wuwuwu, you are bullying me!” A crying female voice came from the Lion.The sound came from the head of the child.
Yes, a female.
"How can this be called bullying?" Wayne comforted: "You are not a human either."
The manticore was stunned, and then cried even louder: "I will tell Hagrid, tell Newt!"
"Don't cry, I will compensate you, okay?"
After thinking about it, Wayne decided to keep the matter quiet: "I will give you a cow a month to replenish your body, but when your hair grows longer in the future, I will come to borrow some handsome."
The manticore's hair is a good material for making resistance equipment. Wayne can't use it himself, but he can sell it or share it with Hermione and others.
Hearing the word "cow", the manticore immediately drooled, "No, one a day."
"What are you thinking, one in three weeks."
"Two weeks, or I'll complain."
Finally, the two agreed on a price of twenty days, and Wayne returned to the castle with a bag of local specialties.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a group of little wizards gathered around the bulletin board. .
