Chapter 318 Heroes of the Order of the Phoenix

In the eyes of some young Ministry of Magic employees, Arthur Weasley and the Director of the Department of Magical Law of the Ministry of Magic may never be equated.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest department within the British Ministry of Magic, and arguably the most important.

With the exception of the Department of Mysteries, all other departments are under the command of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

And Arthur Weasley was just the head of the two-person Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office.

Although he can participate in the writing of laws, he is only a marginal figure.

But anyone who is a little older would think that if there were no other considerations, he could be the Head of the Department of Magical Law.

After all, he was a hero of the First Wizarding War, and a pureblood.

Especially since his mother was a member of the Black family, his wife was the only direct descendant of Prewett, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans, and her two brothers were war heroes who died on the way to resist Voldemort.

The reason why he couldn't become the leader, besides his own intention, was that he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

The Order of the Phoenix did a better job in fighting the Death Eaters than the Ministry of Magic. Due to face reasons, the Ministry of Magic would not fully acknowledge his contributions and even marginalized him.

But because of his contribution, Arthur Weasley could even write laws and set up a department specifically for him.

Now, Arthur Weasley was the Director of the Department of Magical Law at the time, and many knowledgeable people believed that it was definitely Dumbledore who did the work.

Fudge might have stepped down because of him.

After all, in the eyes of most people, there is no such person who would let his subordinates contribute to society but then fail to fight for the deserved benefits for them.

Just like Arthur Weasley before, but he just needs to accumulate experience.

But no one expected that Dumbledore was really such a person.

He refused power, so he also refused to use his influence to fight for the interests of his subordinates.

Therefore, the hero's credit is taken by the insects, and the hero himself is marginalized.

Alastor Moody, stigmatized as Mad-Eye and considered a lunatic, left the Auror position.

Remus Lupin was always plagued by poverty and had no food to eat.

Dedalus Digger, as a loafer, hangs out in the Leaky Cauldron all day.

Alice and Frank Longbottom became insane and remained at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Not to mention those who turned into corpses and had their property taken away by the Ministry of Magic because of the extinction of their descendants.

Dumbledore seemed to have forgotten that heroes also need to eat.

After the First Wizarding War, the Order of the Phoenix was disbanded, and their contributions were divided up by the insects.

At the teacher's desk, Riddle whispered these reminders.

He is like the poisonous snake in the Bible that tricked Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit.

None of them lied, but the truth hurts the most.

Seeing Percy, who was crazy and completely different from his previous self, and what Riddle said, even Dumbledore couldn't help but doubt whether he was really doing the right thing.

Familiar faces appeared in his mind.

For the first time, he felt that maybe he should take control, or at least let the heroes get what they deserved.

He has the power and influence.

"Perhaps I am really wrong." Dumbledore sighed.

Riddle next to him smiled with satisfaction.

Yeah!

This is what his opponent, the person he fears the most, should be like.

If the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not disbanded, it will become a powerful political party in the Ministry of Magic.

How could Voldemort rise again? Ryan, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but think that was why Dumbledore was so easily brought down by Fudge in the original world line.

That's because he is so noble, and those who follow him have to be noble as well.

It even seems that fighting for one's right to pay for what one deserves is considered unnoble.

Who would dare to speak for Dumbledore like this? Except for his diehard fans and those who are willing to give everything for justice.

This world is always dominated by normal people.

So no one dared to speak up for Dumbledore.

In the audience, the Weasley family also had tears in their eyes after hearing Percy's words.

As the saying goes, children from poor families grow up early.

When the Weasley family was still small and the family environment was relatively good, Bill and Charlie, like their father, chose to pursue their own dreams.

Faced with a difficult family environment, Percy chose to study hard, strive to obtain a high position in the Ministry of Magic, and climb to the top step by step.

The Weasley twins just wanted to make a lot of money as soon as possible and fulfill their dreams.

And Ron has low self-esteem.

Ginny was the most favored. Although her family was not well off, she grew up to be a normal child.

Now, the Weasley children are all crazy!

Fred was almost suffocated by Percy's hug, and George was also hugged by Ron, who was a head taller than him. Ginny was the most reserved, she hugged Harry, as if to share her joy.

Not far away, Malfoy at the Slytherin table couldn't help but applaud, wishing his idol the rightful place.

He drummed so loudly that if you didn't know him you would think he was also a Weasley.

Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy, who were standing by, also applauded for Draco's sake.

At this moment, the auditorium was filled with applause, discussions, and the happy laughter of Harry and the others.

However, none of the professors at the staff table stopped him. Even Professor McGonagall, who was usually the strictest, had tears in her eyes.

Yes, perhaps her status as the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts and the dean of Gryffindor was too prominent, so that others overlooked one thing - she was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

After about ten minutes, the auditorium finally quieted down.

Percy and the others also returned to their seats.

"How did Percy know about his father's promotion?" Ron asked in a hoarse voice after he came to his senses.

"You were saying something loudly about how you couldn't do your homework without a reply from dad."

"How did you notice that the piglet flew to Percy?" Ginny rolled her eyes.

"I already told you, its name is Zhu Weiqiong."

"It only recognizes this name." Hearing this, Ginny couldn't help but hum "huh" softly.

She always regretted that when the piglet first came home, she didn't dare to name it because it was Sirius's owl.

"How can it be!"

"My father is not that kind of person!"

"Even if he got a promotion, he's still mostly concerned with Muggle stuff!"

"How could he forget to reply to my letter?" Ron lost his dream.

But he perked up again the next second, "Sure, it must be in the letter to Percy."

"He probably ran away halfway through reading it!"

However, just as Ron was about to run to the Gryffindor table, Dumbledore stood up.
