Chapter 1745 A war without a winner (one hundred and ninety-five)
"Oh, by the way, this is for you."
With that said, Cedric took out a letter from his robe pocket and handed it to Albert. There was a big W on the letter, which looked like the mark of the Ministry of Magic.
"What a surprise."
The moment Albert saw the letter, he knew what it was.
"He actually wrote you a letter. I thought he would let me tell you directly." After Cedric found a seat and sat down, he motioned to Albert to read the contents of the letter first, in case there was anything important in it.
"It's not an important thing." Albert opened the letter, glanced at the contents inside, then raised his head and said to Cedric, "This is a letter from the Wizengamot, just to remind me of something. It’s time to prepare for the next meeting of the Wizengamot.”
Since Kingsley became Minister of Magic, members of the Wizengamot will be notified of the Wizengamot meeting by letter several days in advance unless it is particularly urgent.
"I almost forgot, you are the youngest member of the Wizengamot in history."
Cedric poured himself a cup of black tea and spoke in a sour tone. He would be lying if he said he wasn't envious, but it was just envy.
This friend of mine is most likely the most powerful wizard in history, and has made so many great contributions to the British magical world. It is normal to be treated like this.
As for political issues.
Anyone with any sense would not involve Albert casually.
Otherwise Kingsley would not have waited for Albert to leave England before taking action.
Of course, we can't expect politicians to be very rational. Cornelius Fudge is the best example. That guy did a lot of stupid things when his own interests were harmed.
Thanks to Dumbledore's kindness and principles, otherwise Fudge might not even know how he died.
"Smart people" like Fudge are very common in the magical world where power circles have been almost "hereditary" for hundreds of years, otherwise Albert would not have chosen to form a clique.
As for what his own circle will look like in the future, Albert doesn't care.
Anyway, I just patted my butt and left, and then those people can do whatever they want.
It's so normal for a dragon slayer to grow dragon scales all over his body and turn into a dragon.
Even if Albert cheated, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could solve this problem.
…
A few days later, in the solemn Wizengamot conference room, two guys who deliberately sat in the last row of the stairs ignored the serious meeting and whispered something about themselves.
"I heard that you became the godfather of Harry Potter's son?"
Bard seemed to find this gossip more interesting than what was being discussed at the Wizengamot.
"I promised him something in advance. Although Harry did not die in the Battle of Hogwarts, I don't have the habit of breaking my promise."
Albert was not surprised that this matter would spread, at least many people would go out of their way to spread the news.
"It's good. If Potter is willing, he will definitely be able to take over Kingsley's position in more than ten years." Bud nodded and asked again: "When will you leave England!"
"September this year at the latest."
Albert has no specific time for when he will start traveling around the world. Anyway, after he solves the trivial matters in the UK, he will start his own journey around the world with his family.
"Is this your idea for Kingsley? Have you noticed that the frequency of Wizengamot meetings has become higher!" Mog, who was so idle, came to join in the fun. There are really not many people at the Wizengamot meetings nowadays. Care.
There's no way around it. The frequency of Wizengamot meetings has been too high recently.
Kingsley likes to bring things to meetings to discuss, which is commonly known as finding someone to share the blame.
For example, today's meeting is related to the recent changes in goblins.
Everyone present guessed that a conflict would inevitably break out between wizards and goblins, but when Kingsley held this meeting to discuss the matter, it was no wonder that others were distracted.
"This is much better than them always using the Wizengamot as the highest court." Bud didn't mind that Kingsley used this to hold meetings, because the Wizengamot originally had the function of a parliament.
It’s just that frequent meetings are really a bit overwhelming, considering that in the past few months, we didn’t necessarily need to go there.
But it was hard for everyone to say anything. After all, the "big things" Kingsley was discussing here were all related to the situation in the British wizarding world.
The meeting finally decided that negotiations with goblins should continue and conflicts with goblins should be avoided as much as possible. However, if the third goblin rebellion cannot be avoided, preventive preparations should be made in advance to minimize the harm caused by goblins.
After greeting many acquaintances, Albert borrowed the Ministry of Magic's floo network and headed directly to Hogwarts.
Although he had already asked Cedric to teach for him, Albert thought it was best for him to come over so as not to make everyone think that he was always slacking off.
"How does it feel to teach senior students?"
Albert asked the slightly depressed Cedric with a smile.
"They didn't seem happy with it."
Cedric doubted whether Albert had infinitely improved the teaching level of the Defense Against Dark Arts class.
"You just don't have much experience. You will get used to it after trying it a few times."
Albert took out a box of pineapple preserves from the drawer and handed it to Cedric.
"Last Christmas present for Horace."
"I heard from Hermione that you are planning to compile other new books." Cedric changed the subject and asked about another matter.
"I did ask them to try to compile a book about Muggles." Albert did not deny it. "After all, they all come from Muggle families and know more about the world over there than wizards who have always stayed in the magic world. I don't care whether it can become a textbook of Muggle Studies."
"Don't think I don't know that you just want to recompile the textbook of Muggle Studies." Cedric couldn't help rolling his eyes at Albert and said to himself, "Working in Muggle liaison has always been unpopular. It seems that this will be a very important job in the near future."
Cedric knew Albert and knew that everything he did had his intentions.
"I just think wizards should take some time to get to know their neighbors!"
"You're right. But I think this is normal. The two sides live in two different worlds and rarely need to interact. Who would be so idle as to pay special attention to them?"
Cedric ended the topic of Muggles. Like most wizards, he was not interested in Muggle topics.
"I always feel that you are going to replace all the textbooks in Hogwarts."
"While I still have energy, I can also find something for others to do." Albert did plan to record what he got on the panel.
