Riding on the flying carriage engraved with the M logo of the Ministry of Magic, Link and Emily stopped at the Department of Magical Transport of the Ministry of Magic unimpeded all the way.

Percy and Old Batty had been waiting here long ago.

In addition, there are a large number of officials from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Department of Magical Traffic, and other departments hiding in a corner a little farther away, looking over here curiously.

These people all followed Old Batty quietly.

This is a sensitive time in the wake of the events of the Department of Mysteries.

Almost all officials of the Ministry of Magic have been ordered to stay in the Ministry of Magic.

So it's normal for the two faction leaders, Old Batty and Percy, to appear in the Ministry of Magic.

But it's a bit abnormal to not rest at night, and to come to the Department of Magical Transportation to wait for a carriage.

And what happened next made them all almost drop their jaws in shock.

Because as the carriage landed, Percy trotted all the way to the side of the carriage, humbly opened the carriage door like a servant, and greeted the people in the carriage.

Old Batty on the other side has also walked over.

He acted more reserved than Percy.

It seems to be quite a bit of neither humble nor overbearing.

But the behavior that he can appear here is not fundamentally different from Percy in essence.

It's all flattering.

A series of low-pitched exclamations suddenly erupted from the crowd of officials watching from a distance.

They don't understand what kind of character can make the top and second leaders of the Ministry of Magic stay up late at night, and they all come to flatter them.

Especially Percy.

Old Barty's city is quite deep, and sometimes he can do a good job even if he is dissatisfied with people on the surface. As for things like revenge after the event, it is an afterthought.

But Percy was different.

This young man's personality is a bit of a rampage when he is in power, and he agrees with the saying that a man can't eat five dishes in life, and he can cook with five tripods when he dies. Directly became the second in command of the Ministry of Magic.

This caused him to never restrain his emotions, when he was arrogant and domineering.

It was the first time that the Ministry of Magic officials present had seen him behave so humblely.

The most important thing is that the man and woman greeted by Percy and old Batty are still so young!

"This... who are these two?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's the heir of a big foreign family?"

"It is indeed possible, otherwise how could that fellow Percy Weasley behave like this?"

...

The identities of Link and Emily were discussed among the officials.

The most outrageous one even guessed that Link and Emily were the negotiating representatives sent by the Death Eaters, and judging from the attitudes of old Batty and Percy, their Ministry of Magic is likely to be occupied by the Death Eaters .

Of course, the last official who said this was almost immediately dragged down by the others and handed over to the Auror office.

The news that Voldemort was resurrected and engaged in a fierce battle with the Auror forces in the Department of Mysteries is no longer a secret in the Ministry of Magic.

The related question is definitely the ZZ red line.

And amidst all this noise, Amos Diggory looked at the two figures that were gradually going away accompanied by Old Barty and Percy, but he stood there in a daze as if he had been petrified. in place.

"Amos, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The colleague who came with him frowned and asked.

Hearing that Amos was woken up, he turned his head stiffly, looked at his old partner beside him and said in a sleepy voice:

"I... I know them..."

"Oh? Who are they?"

At the same time, he was obviously interested, and asked curiously.

"Link Foley, and Emily Victoria... Oh no, I think she should prefer the name Emily Foley, after all, both of them are engaged." Amos was a little incoherent said,

"They are my son's classmates, I have met them a few times..."

After saying that, Amos still couldn't believe it.

Because of Amos' big mouth, Cedric never talked to him about the organization and their relationship and influence with Link.

This led to Amos' impression that Link was still the stupid son of the landlord's family.

Even after hearing that Link had won the Goblet of Fire, he didn't change his mind.

After all, the Foley family is really rich.

It is not impossible to bribe the judges to gild Link.

Otherwise, how could the Foley family become the trustees of Hogwarts?

The director of Hogwarts is notoriously taken advantage of throughout Europe!

And now, the idiot classmate who used to be his son came to the Ministry of Magic in a Ministry of Magic carriage under the current state of emergency blockade of the Ministry of Magic. Percy, the chief assistant to the Office of the Minister of Magic, and old Batty, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Meet in person?

What the hell is going on in this world?

Watching this scene, Amos felt that his three views were shattered.

At this time, the colleague next to him said excitedly:

"Your son? Cedric's classmate? The sole heir of the Foley family?"

Amos nodded stiffly.

Seeing this, the colleague was so excited that he almost jumped up.

He hurried to Amos's ear and suppressed his voice and said:

"Do you remember the speculation we had about why Percy Weasley was promoted so quickly, and with the support of a large number of Fudge faction officials?"

"Ah, of course I still remember. Many people in the Ministry think that he is actually a puppet. There is a mysterious big man behind him to support him, and he wants to intervene in the Ministry of Magic through him to make him so..."

Amos' words suddenly froze, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said incredulously, "You mean...the Foley family is the big man who controls Percy behind the scenes?"

"That's the only possibility, Amos!" continued the colleague. "Look at Percy's humble appearance, does he look like a domesticated dog? For such a big event, Minister Fudge is almost bound to step down. People from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement said that the Ministry of Magic may need to be restructured, adding a big man to carry out cross-management of the Ministry of Magic.

In my opinion, that big man must be the heir of the Foley family!

Amos, your son should have a good relationship with that Lord Foley, right?

It looks like you're going to be promoted soon!

Don't forget then..."

Amos could no longer hear the flattering words of his colleagues.

The previous analysis by colleagues seemed like a flash of lightning, splitting the dense clouds in his mind.

He figured everything out in an instant!

This is so reasonable!

The Foley family itself has a relatively large influence in the Ministry of Magic.

Their relationship had been quite good during Secretary Fudge's time in power.

Link Foley himself also has the Order of Merlin.

Their big family will naturally want to continue to expand their influence.

The strategy adopted by the Malfoy family is to continue to deepen their relationship with officials and ministers.

The Foley family is more straightforward.

They sent a puppet straight into the Ministry of Magic!

But now, the situation has changed again!

Great changes in the Department of Mysteries and Fudge's resignation gave the Foley family an excellent opportunity!

They stopped pretending!

They have a showdown!

They want to jump from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and take power directly!

This is so... so good!

Amos couldn't help cheering.

His sons Cedric and Link have been friends for many years!

How much benefit would this relationship bring to their Digory family?

Amos couldn't even imagine it!

At the same time, Link, who had already entered the magic elevator, glanced through the gap at the group of officials who had begun to riot not far away, and said quietly:

"Is this also specially arranged by you?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Foley." Old Batty said respectfully, "I agree with Percy that this group of people should be allowed to meet the new head of the Ministry of Magic."

Emily frowned and said:

"Isn't that good? All kinds of messy rumors will fly all over the sky."

"Please rest assured that this group of officials from the Ministry of Magic is indeed quite trashy, but this is only reflected in the handling of official business." Percy said obsequiously, "As for things like speculation, office wars, etc., they But it is absolutely professional. I can assure you that the two of you will immediately understand what we want to express just by showing up this time, and they will keep our mouths tight and never leak it to anyone other than the Ministry of Magic. After all... It's in their best interest."

Emily nodded expressionlessly.

Percy's description certainly matched her impression of Ministry officials.

These guys are not bad at all.

It's just all in the wrong places.

The corner of Link's mouth also raised slightly, and he glanced at Old Batty and said:

"Then, let's get down to business. What trouble do you have? I still need to do it myself."

Percy and old Batty looked at each other, and then old Batty said:

"It's the Wizengamot. Originally, we were doing the work you ordered, and everything went smoothly. But...many members of the Wizengamot expressed their dissatisfaction with the committee system. They insisted on maintaining the original one-man minister system and conduct new ministerial elections.”

Percy went on to add:

"We just wanted to ask you for instructions, but we didn't expect you to come in person. This is really...our honor."

Old Batty pursed his lips when he heard this.

Percy's sycophancy disgusted even him.

Link obviously felt the same way. He glanced at Percy who was smiling flatteringly and said:

"I came to the Ministry of Magic for other things. Whether there is such a thing or not, I will come. But since this thing happened now, let me solve it by the way. It's not a big deal."

As soon as Link finished speaking, the magic elevator finally stopped, and the golden elevator door slowly opened.

"Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

An indifferent female voice sounded quietly, and Link took Emily out first, while old Batty and Percy followed closely behind them.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is recognized as the largest department in the Ministry of Magic.

It consists of the Auror Office, the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Charms and Protective Equipment, the Misuse of Magic Office, and the Wizengamot Governing Body.

It seems that there are many internal departments, but in fact, the only ones with real power are the Auror Office, the Office for Prohibiting Misuse of Magic, and the Wizengamot.

Among them, the Auror Office represents military power, and the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic Office represents legal power.

Needless to say, military power, simple and straightforward violence!

And legal power is more powerful.

This can be seen from the name of the department, the Misuse of Magic Office.

The misuse of magic is forbidden, the word 'misuse' is very abstract.

What is abuse?

There is no clear standard at all, and it is up to law enforcement officials to judge whether it is abused or not.

What they carry out inwardly is actually pocket sins.

Just like a certain bureau examines some movies and games, they also do not have a clear breakdown of culpability.

This abstract guilt gives them ultimate power.

After all, there is no way to achieve perfection in anything, but if you look carefully, you can always find the fault.

As for the Wizengamot.

This is even more powerful.

They are a transcendent organization formed by a group of highly respected people, almost at the same level as the Office of the Minister of Magic.

Responsible for daily court rulings on major cases, and... the election of the Minister of Magic!

"Your Excellency Foley, you are here!"

Just a few steps after Link and the others stepped out of the elevator, Sander, a young man in a slightly sloppy Auror uniform, greeted him and saluted Link respectfully.

Seeing this, Old Batty and Percy exchanged glances, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corners of their mouths tacitly.

As one of the three giants of the Ministry of Magic newly established by Link, he was supposed to welcome Link at the Department of Magical Transportation together with old Batty and Percy.

He was not present at the time, which was actually a relatively rude performance.

After all, Link had just promoted him.

But judging from the respectful appearance of the other party, this should not be the other party's problem.

Rather... Old Batty and Percy, a pair of big and small foxes, set Sander up.

In this regard, Sander is too tender.

But it doesn't matter if you come later, because Sander is not the only one here.

Behind Sander, there are more than 20 fully armed Aurors standing!

Link didn't say anything to Sanddo, just nodded and walked into the meeting room of the Wizengamot Council surrounded by Aurors, Old Batty and others.

As soon as he entered the meeting room, Link frowned.

The interior decoration of this deliberation, which covers an area of ​​nearly 100 square meters, is even more magnificent than the hall of the Ministry of Magic.

No, the word resplendent is inappropriate here.

Because this meeting room did not use golden yellow as the main color of decoration like the upstart hall of the Ministry of Magic, but chose a relatively low-key silver color.

But the problem is that the source of the large amount of golden yellow in the halls of the Ministry of Magic is ordinary gold.

And the source of the silver in the meeting room is the precious extraordinary alchemy material——Mithril!

Moreover, the scale of mithril used in the meeting room far exceeds the scale of gold in the hall of the Ministry of Magic.

The mysterious and brilliant silver-white light almost spread throughout the entire conference room!

The most exaggerated thing is that the entire ceiling above everyone's heads is also paved with mithril plates, and various magic gemstones are used as magic lamps on it, embellishing a scene similar to a starry sky.

And under the mithril starry sky, there are more than a dozen Wizengamot councilors sitting on both sides of a huge long table.
