Chapter 316 Percy's Ambition
'You've made the front page this time...'

Percy was in his room, looking at the photo in the Daily Prophet and couldn't help but laugh.

He had talked to Andrew about his ambitions - his ambitions were for the Ministry of Magic, and that had never changed.

But at that time, Andrew was pretending to be stupid with him. Maybe Andrew felt that their friendship was not deep enough at that time - he was really a cautious guy.

But the guy wasn't a bad guy at all, and the conversation even started with that pile of tempting-looking Galleons.

'He's on his way, but I haven't started yet...'

Percy put the newspaper down and began to have a headache - he was destined to join the Ministry of Magic.

But he didn't go to the Ministry of Magic for his summer internship this holiday - he was cramming his grades at home.

There is never a shortage of summer interns at the Ministry of Magic, but every year there is only one intern who gets the first place in overall performance, and then he or she will naturally get to work in the Ministry of Magic.

The first is that you are privileged. You will not start as a handyman student, but can choose to become an intern in a large office with excellent grades.

He did an internship, became an assistant, and then was retained to officially become a member of a faction - this was what the school books said, and this was also the information he could obtain.

The competition for popular offices was the most intense, and he began collecting information about officials at the Ministry of Magic before the summer vacation - this was not difficult for him.

He had almost chosen his target - Mr. Barty Crouch's assistant.

Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, Mr. Barty Crouch.

The loser in the competition for the position of Minister, the former Minister of Law Enforcement, the man who led the Aurors to win the war, and now a frustrated man.

A cold spot among cold spots. As a contender for the post of Minister of Magic, almost no one goes to him, but this does not affect his strength at all, both in the past and now.

The Aurors were grateful to Mr. Batty, and passed on this sentiment when training the next generation of Aurors. If he went there, he would definitely be harassed by both sides.

Whether it was the difficulties faced by his immediate superior or the cold reception from the faction of the Minister of Magic, it was all normal - but after getting through it, as an assistant, he would partially inherit Mr. Barty's influence and gain the natural support of the Aurors.

The minister by then will probably be replaced. Whether it is promotion or subsequent further development, the negative impact brought by Mr. Batti will dissipate and all will become support.

He was confident that he could get through the time ahead - he believed in his own abilities, just as he and Penelope had boasted.

After all, he is a poor boy with no foundation. If he doesn't start over, where can he get support from the candidates?

How can a poor boy like him become the Minister of Magic if he doesn't have any basic skills at all?
"But there might be some trouble with my father. I have to talk to him..."

Percy sighed - this was a difficult task.

As for my mother...

Percy thought about Lockhart's book and shook his head. It was hard to explain.

"As for Andrew, we can listen to his opinions. He may have different views..."

"Forget it, owls are not safe, let's wait until we get to the school for the interview, but I have to prepare a gift, it seems like his birthday is coming soon."

-

"The reward is worth the effort. Minister Fudge is really rich."

In the office, Andrew looked at the Daily Prophet and put it down with a smile.

He had done a perfect job in hosting Professor McGonagall on this business trip. The large subsidy promised by the Ministry of Magic was the best proof of this. What else do you want?
Although this money has nothing to do with him and he has to go to Professor Alice's project, he is not crazy. What is he going to do with the money?

"I can study human transformation in peace next semester, that's great."

He picked up his lemon tea, took a big sip, and began to work happily - today he just had to deal with the replies confirming his enrollment one by one. It was not a big problem and he just had to enter them into the files.

"But the response rate this year is higher than in previous years. It seems that Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have poached fewer students. Also, the development at the end of last school year was quite impressive..."

"No, why should I be happy? Most of the new students are Slytherin students, and Professor Snape won't give me any extra points. What should I be happy about?"

Andrew muttered to himself as he put the letter away.

"That means no one checked. Otherwise, if the news got out that half of the admission letters were signed by me, Professor McGonagall, then... It doesn't seem to be a big problem. The admission letters recognized by the school are authentic..."

After dealing with the last receipt letter, Andrew compared the list.

'The Muggle-borns haven't been sent out yet, and it's almost my birthday... But this kind of thing can only be dealt with when the professor comes back. After all, not all professors have the ability to communicate normally with the Muggle world.'

He prepared the letter, and then used the owl magic as usual to confirm the location - those who are often wanted by the Ministry of Magic know that this thing will track the person down without making a sound, and one must block one's name before becoming a fugitive.

'Today's work is done, I'm going to the library to learn spells!'

-

"It really is the Minister of Magic!"

Professor Nina still found it a little unbelievable today - when she was an adventurer, the name of the Minister of Magic would not be mentioned even if people were bragging.

Of course, the two Ministers of Magic are different.

"Otherwise, please keep quiet, professor, this is the library."

Andrew raised his head and looked at Nina.

Can you learn from Sirius? He didn't feel surprised or anything yesterday, but you are still not quiet today, new professor!
"Don't be so old-fashioned. Young people should act like young people. It's normal for Professor Black to be calm. You should be younger."

What's wrong with him being calm and normal?

This is the first time I heard that Gryffindor deserves the word calm!

Do you have any misunderstanding about the situation at Hogwarts? Sirius has never been calm since he came out of Azkaban. He thinks the minister is not excited because his family is too rich!
"Ah, good morning, Andrew."

Sirius suddenly inserted himself, but for some reason, Andrew felt that he seemed to be pretending to be calm, but he was not sure.

"Good morning, Sirius. Are you going to read so much today?"

"Of course, I do have ambitions - like becoming the best History of Magic professor or something."

Sirius looked very pleased with himself.

He liked this kind of life very much - being needed and being commanded.

Looking at the sunlight shining on the table, he chose a position closest to the sunlight and then lay on the table without caring about his image.

How wonderful...Hogwarts.
