Hogwarts, where the stars shine

One morning in late February, Mesa and Lilia walked into the auditorium just as an owl was delivering a message.

Lilia anxiously opened today's "Daily Prophet". Ever since the Shafiq couple's sweet trip, she had paid special attention to current events in the magical world.Mesa on the side took out 5 copper Knuts heartbrokenly and stuffed them into the owl messenger's small purse.

"Look, Millicent Bagnor has officially announced her retirement!" Lilia said excitedly, "You know what this means!"

Mesa knew very well what it meant for the Minister of Magic to retire, and he knew even more clearly that if Lilia continued to be startled, it would easily give him a heart attack.

Mesa put down the orange juice and said: "Of course I know, this means that the Minister of Magic will be replaced and a new leadership team will be born. I hope their performance will not be too bad."

Once an emperor and a courtier, with Bagno's abdication and the new minister taking office, there will inevitably be changes in power within the Ministry of Magic.If you want to capture greater profits from the Ministry of Magic, now is a very good time to place your bets.

Even though he didn't know if there would be any public speaking activities during the election of the Minister of Magic, Mesa was quite interested in hearing how the candidates boasted.

"I quite like Ms. Bagno." Lilia said, "She came to power at the most difficult time in the magic world."

In 1980, at the height of the Wizarding War in England, Millicent Bagno was appointed Minister of Magic.Compared with the previous ministers, Ms. Bagno was also unable to restrain Voldemort, but she was lucky enough.

A year after Millicent Bagnor came to power, Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to find trouble for Harry Potter, who had just turned one year old.

As everyone knows, Voldemort was defeated, Harry Potter became the "Boy Who Lived", and the British wizard's victory celebration began immediately.

The grand celebration violated the "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy." Ms. Bagno not only failed to deal with the violation, but also ignored the International Confederation of Wizards' inquiries. She only said, "I firmly defend everyone's right to indulge in carnival."

After the war, the Magical Law Commission began to try known Death Eaters and send them to Azkaban Prison.

Although many Death Eaters escaped justice, the Death Eaters without Voldemort could not make any trouble. Under the leadership of Millicent Bagnall, the wizarding world spent a stable decade.

Now that Millicent Bagnor is preparing to retire, Britain will usher in a new leader. Only Merlin knows who this new minister is and whether he will ask everyone "Why don't you eat minced meat" after taking office.

Lilia tore off the front page of the Daily Prophet and handed it to Mesa beside her.The photo in the newspaper was a single photo of Ms. Bagno, who was silently protesting Lilia's rough behavior with an expression on her face.

"Is this how you treat lovely Ms. Bagno?" Mesa asked. In the photo, Ms. Bagno had her hands on her waist and glared at Mesa who took the newspaper.

Mesa resisted the urge to tear up the newspaper again and read the contents on the front page.It was nothing more than an official statement saying that Ms. Bagno was old and unable to continue leading the magic world forward, so she decided to retire.

Mesa doesn't believe the reason "old age".It's not that Mesa thinks there is any inside story behind Bagno's retreat, but that he thinks this reason is a bit too light.

Meet Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

All books that introduce Dumbledore will indicate his birth date - July 1881.

Dumbledore is over 100 years old and still serves as the Headmaster of Hogwarts. How old does Millicent Bagnor have to be before she is too old?As far as Mesa knows, there is a wizard in the Wizengamot who is older than Dumbledore!

After reading what was on the front page of the newspaper, Mesa folded the torn page and continued to drink his orange juice.For whatever reason Millicent Bagnaud decided to retire, Mesa didn't want to know.

The height of the Ministry of Magic is beyond the reach of Mesa at this stage. He should continue to coax children to play in the academy!

Lilia also put down the Daily Prophet. She tilted her head, looking a little confused.She said slowly: "I have been thinking recently about who Bagno's successor will be."

"Are you thinking about the two people your mother supports?" Mesa asked, "One is the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, and the other is an official working in the Legal Enforcement Department."

"No, I'm not thinking about the two of them," Lilia said. "I personally don't think these two have a chance. At least it won't be their turn in this ministerial change."

Barty Crouch, who was born in one of the 28 Holy Families, was the former Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, and was later transferred to the Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic.Both positions are director-general, and Barty Crouch seems to be getting a flat promotion, but in fact he is being demoted.

The Legal Enforcement Department is the largest department in the Ministry of Magic and the most important position among many departments.In the event of an emergency, all departments except the Department of Mysteries must take orders from the Department of Legal Enforcement.

The most important point is that the Law Enforcement Division has law enforcement powers, holding Aurors and Law Enforcement Investigation Teams in its hands, and is a truly violent agency.Transferring from such an important department to another department is not a demotion!

Barty Crouch was not transferred because of his incompetence. He was the toughest official in the Ministry of Magic during the war.Allowing Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse when capturing Death Eaters was an order given by Barty Crouch.

He was such a pioneer in the fight against Voldemort, but his son was a well-known Death Eater and a loyal servant of Voldemort.

Faced with such a terrible situation, Barty Crouch chose to annihilate his family and imprisoned his son in Azkaban.Later, Barty Crouch's wife and son died one after another, and his status and prestige plummeted.

These are what Mesa saw when he was looking through old newspapers. The newspapers from the past few years had sprayed Barty Crouch with blood, and he was called one of the most miserable men in the wizarding world.

Although the public is very forgetful, just a few years after this incident, Barty Crouch will hardly gain the support of the public.If his competitors bring up the events of that year, Mr. Crouch will not even be able to keep his qualifications for election.

As for the other Amelia Bones, Mesa didn't know much about this lady. She only knew that the Bones family was one of the most prestigious families in the magic world.

"I understand Barty Crouch's situation, but what about Amelia Bones?" Mesa asked: "Is it because she is too young and not qualified enough?"

Lilia slowly spread jam on the bread and said, "Almost, even though the Bones family is very famous and Ms. Bones's brother is also a hero in the magical world, many people don't want her to come to power. "

If it's a matter of youth and seniority, Mesa can understand it, but why don't many people want Bones to come to power?It’s not like the Ministry of Magic has never had a female minister.

"Because Ms. Bones, like Barty Crouch, is also a hardliner." Lilia continued to explain, "If the Minister of Magic is too strong, it will not be a good thing for some people."

Since Voldemort's defeat, the wizarding world has entered a period of peace, with swords and guns in storage and horses loose in the mountains.Unfortunately, peacetime failed to allow the magic world to develop rapidly, but instead became a breeding ground for decay.

Some of the people Lilia mentioned had made a lot of profits during peacetime. If the new minister was very powerful, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to live as freely as before.

Since the Minister of Magic needs to be replaced, why can't he be replaced by someone with a softer temper?

"Do you think it's possible for our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to come out again?" Mesa asked slowly.

He looked at John Mikkelsen on the teacher's seat and looked at Viper John enjoying his breakfast with relish.Is the high-ranking official who once made all the decisions in the Ministry of Magic really willing to stay at Hogwarts and coax his children?
