Chapter 1049: New Identity in the Muggle WorldSince this involved Sirius, a prisoner who had successfully escaped from prison for the first time, the Ministry of Magic reacted much faster than usual.
Even the Minister of Magic Fudge rushed over as soon as possible.
The meeting place was the ruins of the bathroom where the previous battle had taken place, which allowed the people from the Ministry of Magic to make a rough prediction.
Fudge wore his hat and looked a little serious.
After seeing the battlefield with his confidant and several important directors of the Ministry of Magic, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that the thing I was most worried about would happen. Sirius Black sneaked into Hogwarts and caused such great damage. Thank you professors for your help in capturing him. Now Sirius Black can be handed over to us. Since Azkaban cannot hold him, we will give him the most severe punishment."
Fudge spoke up and set the tone, speaking with great confidence.
Although Sirius had not regained his wand at this time, he was not bound by anything.
All the previous misunderstandings have been explained clearly, so it is naturally impossible to restrict him.
It's just that he was in a 'drunk' state after taking the truth serum, and his mind was a little unclear.
He kept muttering that he was guilty.
Faced with Fudge's accusations, he had no motivation to refute them, but instead started crying.
But Harry, who already knew the truth, quickly said"Oh, Sirius is innocent. It was Peter Pettigrew who did all this. Didn't the professors say that?"
Harry looked back at McGonagall, who had gone to inform them.
"I think I have already explained when I contacted him that the culprit of all this is Peter Pettigrew, and we have substantial evidence. All the previous footage was recorded, and we also had the interrogation with Veritaserum. There is no way he is wrong."
Professor McGonagall also showed dissatisfaction on her face.
Sirius was also one of her many students. Now that he had been cleared of all charges, Fudge still maintained such an attitude, which really made McGonagall very dissatisfied.
At the same time, I also thought of Snape and Tao Yu’s previous actions. It turned out that we couldn’t wait for the people from the Ministry of Magic to come.
We must make a decisive decision quickly, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will really lie to save its own face.
"I think you have been deceived by Sirius. Pettigrew might have been under the Imperius Curse or something. Well, don't defend this criminal. We need to take him away."
Fudge ignored Harry's words and didn't take Professor McGonagall's previous notice seriously.
What the truth is doesn't matter to him!
As long as you announce it to the public and cooperate with the publication of the Daily Prophet, what is revealed will be the truth!
Sirius' escape from Azkaban was already a great disgrace to the Ministry of Magic and a huge stain on his tenure.
If Sirius were to be criticized again and the Ministry of Magic finally awarded the murderer a medal, that would be enough to get him stepped down!
Fudge would never allow this.
"We must take Sirius away today. No one can help, not even Dumbledore."
A fat lady in pink girl's clothes immediately added to this.
She is one of Fudge's most loyal subordinates, Dolores Umbridge, who is known for her loyalty.
"Did you not read the message I sent? Voldemort has already been resurrected and you are still trying to cover it up! We still have all the footage here and we can show it to you."
Professor McGonagall was a little angry.
She is a person who abides by the rules, but the people in front of her are trampling on the rules wantonly.
This made Professor McGonagall twist her wand with both hands, her fingertips turning white with anger.
"Don't make such jokes. The Dark Lord is dead. It was our savior, Harry, who did it."
When Fudge said this, he smiled at Harry and continued
"As for the magical images, forget about it. Perhaps you just want to use the Confusion Charm to exaggerate the losses and cover up the invasion of Hogwarts. Sirius's invasion is too embarrassing. If it is the resurrection of the Dark Lord, then it will be fine..."
Fudge was completely judging others by his own standards and didn't even think about the Dark Lord's resurrection.
During his term of office, there was absolutely no incident of the Dark Lord's resurrection, absolutely not!"Fudge, you have to accept reality."
Just at this moment, a gentle voice was heard, and Dumbledore, who had been away on a long journey, was walking down the aisle.
However, when facing Dumbledore, Fudge cared about the other party's profound magical attainments and unparalleled reputation.
But what he was more worried about was that Dumbledore would come to steal his position as Minister of Magic. He was not afraid that this reasonable leader of the white wizards would take action against him.
A gentleman can be deceived!"Dumbledore, the investigation of Sirius is the business of our Ministry of Magic. Even if everything you said is true, we still need to investigate the truth. We can't just take your empty words as the truth. Sirius has already pleaded guilty! The case has been closed!"The person must be taken away. This is the rule of the wizarding world. Does Hogwarts, as a school, want to interfere with us?"
Fudge said solemnly
"The panic caused by the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk has already caused our Ministry of Magic to receive many complaints from parents. You can't make up such absurd things just to solve your own problems."
After a pause, Fudge pressed down the brim of his hat and said in a firm and domineering tone:
"Dumbledore, I am the Minister of Magic!"
"Pfft~"
Suddenly a sneer interrupted Fudge's domineering words.
Looking back, I saw Tao Yu and Snape dragging a Dementor and Pettigrew's body back.
Tao Yu, who had laughed before, waved his hand in front of him and said casually"Don't mind me. I just couldn't help but get off topic a bit. Minister Fudge is indeed the Minister of Magic."
The successive appearances of Tao Yu and Dumbledore made all the professors present at Hogwarts seem to have found their backbone.
One is the chief of the contemporary white wizards and the leading figure in the wizarding world; the other is a terrifying genius who defeated the Dark Lord alone in his first year. One rules the present, and the other represents the future!
With these two around, nothing in the wizarding world can cause any waves!
"I know you, Tao Yu. You are the 'natural wizard' described by Mr. Ollivander. But you are still at the age of learning, not the age for you to step onto the stage..."
Fudge had only spoken halfway when he noticed that the captured Dementor was tied up and dragged here by Tao Yu using magic.
First Years Catching Dementors?!
"Not only did I capture the Dementors alive, but I also captured the Basilisk that is now under control and killed Voldemort's soul. Minister Fudge thinks it would be best if you could see the footage now. If you don't want to, I will use the Imperius Curse to help you see it..."
Tao Yu's magic wand was spinning in circles in the air casually, appearing to be very relaxed and carefree.
Dumbledore looked at him and said slowly:"Don't use the Unforgivable Curse so openly. Perhaps you could change your name."
"It's okay. I'll just turn off the video when the time comes, so it won't be leaked..."
Fudge also felt unbelievable when he heard what the two said. Moreover, the other party answered his question without him even saying a word?"Legitimate?"
Fudge's expression seemed a little distorted.
My mind was read by a little wizard?
Although he is not a master, Fudge, as the Minister of Magic, also mastered the art of Occlumency!Seeing that Fudge was still struggling with this matter, and didn't think in his heart that he would use the Unforgivable Curse in front of Dumbledore at all, Tao Yu had no intention of indulging him.
"Out-of-body experience."
With a flick of the wand in his hand, a ray of light appeared like chain lightning, jumping between several representatives of the Ministry of Magic with Fudge as the center.
A spell controlled everyone in front of him at the same time.
"It's a very clever use of technique. It reminds me of some ancient spells."
Dumbledore said admiringly.
"It's just a little trick, not worthy of being shown on the stage."
Tao Yu controlled several people from the Ministry of Magic as if he was controlling a puppet, and then asked them to open their eyes wide and look carefully at the previous scene.
Tao Yu relaxed the minds of several people, allowing them to maintain their own thinking. At the same time, while they were watching the replay, he said in a tone that was neither fast nor slow."The next task is for you at the Ministry of Magic to complete. Voldemort's resurrection is no small matter. And according to my current judgment, the strange incident on the Hogwarts train may have been caused by him. This is a very difficult matter, and everyone in the magic world must be vigilant..."
After Tao Yu explained the task arrangement, he also looked at these guys who looked more like politicians than wizards."So, the Ministry of Magic must publicize this matter through its own duties and the Daily Prophet. As you can see, I am still a child, and I am not as particular as Headmaster Dumbledore. Moreover, I do not need to take any responsibility for my actions. If this matter is not done well, I also know a little about the other two Unforgivable Curses..."
It was a naked threat with no room for maneuver. After they watched the whole process, Tao Yu withdrew the Imperius Curse and asked the distraught people again:
"Well, do you understand?"
Dumbledore was watching the whole process from the side, with a slightly complicated look in his eyes, but he did not say anything to stop it.
I am old, and the wizarding world needs a new leader.
Although the performance of this little wizard in front of him was similar to that of the first and second generation Dark Lords in many aspects, there was one thing that was completely different: the purpose and direction of what he did were correct, but his means were a bit harsh.
But it is undeniable that this tough attitude is effective.
At this time, Fudge and others also had horror on their faces. After watching the entire video, they also knew what kind of existence this little wizard in front of them was!A first-year student killed Voldemort alone?They were terrified when they thought that the Imperius Curse could control all of them and yet keep them conscious and with memories, like puppets at their disposal.
This guy really does things differently from Dumbledore!"Dumbledore, please say something."
Fudge now turned to look at Dumbledore.
"As you can see, I am old, and you are not young either. The future belongs to the children, and they can make their own choices. Let them try it out."
Dumbledore smiled and seemed very detached. If it was Harry he had chosen, he would still need paving the way and assistance because of his limited talents.
But the little wizard in front of him didn't seem to need to do anything extra.
The world has changed and merged, and the wizarding world also needs to change. Perhaps his decision is more suitable for today's wizarding world and can help wizards better adapt to the changes in the world...
As he spoke, Dumbledore also took the prototype of the magic phone made by Tao Yu and said with great emotion:
"What a fantastic structure! A magic item that has so many functions. If it can be popularized, it will be enough to change the entire wizarding world." "Principal Dumbledore is really insightful. I have this plan, but I still lack some start-up funds. I am preparing to cooperate with Gringotts."
Tao Yu spoke out his plan without any reservation.
Gringotts is controlled by goblins, who are blinded by money.
But at the same time, they are also aware of the current situation.
He had his own strong personal strength as his trump card. After conveying this matter and showing his own highlight moments, he could then negotiate with the fairies, and naturally achieve a good result.
"With your ability, you can indeed talk to those misers."
Dumbledore nodded, as if he saw through Tao Yu's plan, or that the other party had no intention of hiding it at all, but he then hesitated for a moment and smiled.
"However, Hogwarts is your school after all, and they will definitely support you in this regard. Just go for it. The school will always have your solid backing."
"Thank you for your trust, Principal."
At this time, Tao Yu and Dumbledore had obviously reached a consensus, and Tao Yu had demonstrated his character by using the Unforgivable Curse without hesitation.
Fudge and the others didn't dare to say anything. They could only smile and leave in shame.
When it comes to rules and reason, he can use all kinds of discourse power and moral kidnapping to get things done.
But if the opponent starts with the Unforgivable Curse, then using such an illusory thing to restrain him is really courting death!Voldemort had brought about such a great dark turmoil in the past, but now he was killed right after he was resurrected, and was killed head-on.
Now that I think about it, it seems that the fact that Voldemort is preparing for his resurrection is not a big deal. Even if there are other means of resurrection, this genius wizard and Dumbledore will be there to fight against him.
Just sit back and enjoy the win.
And it is possible that Dumbledore will come to snatch the position of Minister of Magic from him, but given the student's age, no matter how capable he is, he is not a threat.
I have to change my tactics, try to win him over as much as possible, and satisfy all his needs...
……
"The Dark Lord is resurrected! Defeated by the true savior!"
"Sirius was wrongfully imprisoned, but now his innocence has been redressed. The real murderer is..."
"The Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts was broken into and the evil basilisk was controlled."
All the pages of the Daily Prophet were devoted to recounting what had happened before, and the newspaper was not stingy with its praise for Tao Yu.
The resurrected Dark Lord was crushed to death by one hand. It seems that as long as Tao Yu is there, any problem can be solved!
When it comes to promoting Tao Yu, the Ministry of Magic’s interests are now consistent with Tao Yu’s.
Because in order to cover up its own incompetence and suppress the fear of the Dark Lord's resurrection, the Ministry of Magic must create a savior.
Tao Yu perfectly meets this requirement in every aspect.
In order to cover up the truth, Tao Yu must be legendary enough!
This also made Tao Yu feel that his legendary status in this world was constantly deepening.
"Very good, but the magic world should have a certain degree of acceptance of my existence now. It will probably be difficult to achieve such a significant improvement in the magic world in the future..."
Tao Yu is very satisfied with the current situation and has a clear idea of what is going on.
Voldemort still has many Horcruxes, and the one that turned into a weird one has already left Hogwarts, so he can swipe them a few more times.
But the next time Voldemort's effect is applied again, it will easily cause fatigue among the wizards, and they may even take it for granted.
"The tone is a bit high, but the effect is still okay..."
In addition, taking advantage of Tao Yu's popularity this time, various parties are also promoting Tao Yu's magic smartphone in advance.
In addition to common traditional mobile phone functions such as communication, follow-up shooting, short videos, etc., practical functions for wizards such as today's fortune telling, emergency spell storage, reserve magic pool, and one-time armor spell protection have also been added.
As long as you replenish your magic power regularly as a reserve, you can release some daily small spells with one click. You can also ask others to help store a few spells that you are not good at, or if you are not familiar with a certain spell and need to release it many times before it succeeds, you can also reserve several successful ones in advance.
At the same time, magic phones are also equipped with a stress armor spell, which can be automatically activated when the wizards fail to react and resist an evil curse.
This function is undoubtedly very practical when there are rumors that Voldemort has resurrected and some Death Eaters are ready to take action.
In addition, it also comes with a certain predictive ability. Although it cannot make long-term predictions, it can make short-term predictions for today, allowing wizards to be prepared.
A true all-purpose phone, perfect for the wizarding world.
As soon as the advertisement for this mobile phone came out, many wizards asked where they could buy it.
Subsequently, Toy Story, Hogwarts and Gringotts simultaneously announced the production of the magic phone and opened a store in Diagon Alley.
Each wizard can only buy one mobile phone for the time being. Each mobile phone does not need a special number. It is bound to the wizard's magic information. There is no need to use a base station. Communication and even live broadcast can be completed anywhere in the world without magic interference...
……
It has been some time since the Chamber of Secrets and the Sirius incident, and the damaged areas of Hogwarts were quickly rebuilt with the help of various magics.
Tao Yu's reputation in the school has reached its peak and cannot be raised any higher.
At the same time, magic phones, like magic wands, have become a necessity for almost every wizard. With the second half of the semester, many little wizards in the school, except for those like Ron who are financially constrained, have been scrambling to buy magic phones whose production capacity is a bit behind schedule.
It is even heard that wizards from other countries would come to Diagon Alley to buy it, and there would be long queues every day.
Fortunately, the total number of wizards is not large, otherwise it would take an indefinite amount of time to replenish them.
What people discuss every day in school is the various functions of the magic phone. Even people like George and Fred have started to make various funny apps based on the open interfaces of the phone.
The magic APP does not rely on programming, but is mainly DIY like creating spells. Once it can run generally well, the phone will automatically complete optimization and adaptation.
Various mini-games and weird little features have also emerged.
The promotion of mobile phones in the magical world is much more convenient than in the real world.
Even for Ron, although his family didn't have the money to buy him one, Tao Yu still gave him one as a gift.
Unlike the stock market like magic wands, brand-new items like magic phones have to face an almost blank market, and now the main focus is on the production capacity of magic phones.
Sell as many as you can, and a large amount of gold Galleons are gathering towards Tao Yu.
In terms of wealth accumulation, Tao Yu may not be able to compare with those old pure-blood families.
But in terms of monthly income alone, Tao Yu alone earns more than all other commercial flows in the entire magical world combined.
At this rate, Tao Yu will definitely become the richest man in the magic world!
However, I am still quite convinced about this richest man in all aspects.
Whether it was the manifestation of Tao Yu's ability or the epoch-making item of this magic phone that changed the entire magic world, he deserved this wealth...
"Oh my god, you're going on a school trip during the summer vacation? You're not going to class next year?"
While eating, Harry and Ron used the magic phone to connect to the Muggle world's network and played Delta. Ron also used his wand to give his phone a metaphysical plug-in.
However, after hearing Tao Yu's words, they both stopped playing the game and looked a little surprised.
"The school has nothing to teach me anymore. I will just move around and come back if I have any questions."
Tao Yu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the two guys who were addicted to mobile games.
It’s useless…
He knew that the magic phone would bring about a lot of changes, but Harry, who was originally very motivated, and Ron, who was much better off with the help, became addicted to mobile games.
Sirius has been cleared, his parents' hatred has been avenged, and Harry's motivation has been reduced a lot.
Fortunately, Snape is now strict with Harry, and many other students are also hit hard by mobile phones, so Harry's ranking has not dropped and is still second only to Tory and Hermione.
On the contrary, although Neville is still a slow learner, he can completely resist the temptation of mobile phones, study in an orderly manner, and his grades are steadily improving.
"You also need to pay attention to priorities. It's okay to relax a little, but don't forget your main task."
"it is good……"
Faced with Tao Yu, Ron and Harry were still very convinced. They put away their mobile phones and let the other teammate matched with them become a clown.
As the semester came to an end, Dumbledore unsurprisingly awarded the house cup to Gryffindor, whose points were equal to the sum of the other three houses.
However, after the dinner, Tao Yu was specially called to the principal's office."What you asked the Ministry of Magic to do has been completed. Fudge personally went to see the Prime Minister of the Muggle world and got a more convenient identity for you. He even got you a title in the Muggle world."
Dumbledore pulled out an exquisite wooden box and handed the documents and medals inside to Tao Yu.
The Duke of Sutherland of Scotland!
"This is a hereditary title in the Muggle world that has no direct descendants. It should have been inherited by the collateral line. Fudge personally used some magical means, and with the cooperation of the Prime Minister of the Muggle world, he helped you get it. Your identity as a person born in an orphanage represents the illegitimate son of the old Duke of Sutherland and a Hong Kong immigrant..."
After saying this, Dumbledore paused."This will bring you about 50 million pounds of wealth in the Muggle world, as well as some voice. However, you are still young after all, and may also cause some trouble in the Muggle world. Of course, this may not be a problem for you..."
"Thank Minister Fudge for me..."
Tao Yu originally just wanted Fudge to help make the arrangements, but this guy rolled up his sleeves and did it himself.
Wizards have unique advantages in dealing with such events.
Although it may indeed cause some minor troubles, it's nothing...
