Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

These pure-blood wizard families are practically green with envy.

The downside of being famous in a small circle is that your family situation is generally known within that circle.

If Percy were to see this letter, his reputation with Scrimgeour would be completely ruined.

It wasn't just Scrimgeour; if Scrimgeour had been a little more outspoken, the entire Auror office and even the Department of Magical Law Enforcement might have found out.

Percy turned pale as he listened to Isaac's analysis of the pros and cons. The main problem was that his sudden inspiration contained no advantages, only disadvantages.

Isaac practically pointed his finger at him and asked, "Do you want the entire Ministry of Magic to know that you're a sycophant?"

There are some things that can be done and must be done; but they can't be done too blatantly, after all, we are all respectable people.

If there are any undignified circumstances, then of course you can use such undignified methods.

But now, everyone in the Ministry of Magic, starting with Minister Fudge, is clearly a respectable person.

Isaac didn't just keep putting Percy down; he wasn't saying these things to manipulate him.

Besides, what's Isaac doing, a grown man like Percy?

If it's really PUA, they should at least target our Minister Fookie.

"Percy, there's nothing wrong with your idea. Some relationships need to be maintained frequently so that the other person doesn't gradually forget you."

There are many ways to strengthen connections.

Percy now wished he could write down every single word Isaac said with a quill and parchment.

Why does he keep calling me "sir" so willingly?

Because Isaac teaches real stuff!

The Weasleys practiced a laissez-faire parenting style, which, to put it simply, meant encouraging their children to become who they wanted to be.

This led Percy to want to pursue a career in politics, but Arthur Weasley didn't teach him.

Of course, based on Isaac's understanding of Percy, he should have rejected Arthur's teachings.

Because in Percy's view, his father, who had been a minor bureaucrat his whole life, was undoubtedly a failure in his political career.

Percy never needed the experience of losers.

Percy most likely intentionally ignored Arthur's teachings.

Otherwise, Arthur Weasley, an elite bureaucrat of the Ministry of Magic, wouldn't have raised such a naive son.

Percy's disadvantage was that no one taught him a Ministry of Magic weighted formula.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about Arthur Weasley's position.

Head of the Office of Prohibition of Muggle Items, Department of Prohibition of Muggle Items, Ministry of Magic.

There are only two people in this office: Arthur, the supervisor, and a long-time employee of the Ministry of Magic.

It doesn't look like much, but his office and the entire company share the same name.

They do all the work of preventing the misuse of Muggle items.

So here's the question: does this mean that Arthur's office is the essence of the entire company?

Another thing is that Arthur is capable of drafting laws, meaning that his position or he himself has legislative power.

In Muggle society, what institution has legislative power?

Furthermore, Arthur can lead a team to search Malfoy Manor.

What kind of place is Malfoy Manor? In any case, Malfoy's father was a high-ranking official in Wizengamot. Ordinary Ministry of Magic employees would not even be able to get in to see Malfoy, let alone search the manor.

Arthur said he would lead a team to investigate, and so he did.

This prompted Lucius Malfoy to smuggle some forbidden dark magic items to Knockturn Alley overnight to sell them.

Well, in the original timeline, this should happen next year.

But Isaac noticed that Arthur had done something similar before Harry enrolled.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Draco Malfoy would harbor such hostility towards Ron or the Weasleys.

Children's hostility is never without reason.

It can only be said that Arthur Weasley was the kind of person in the Ministry of Magic who didn't show off, but whose position was very prestigious.

Of the twenty-eight sacred clans, excluding those that have declined or died out, how could any family that has managed to survive in the magic world until now not have some skills?

Moreover, Arthur was a mainstay of the Order of the Phoenix during the fight against Voldemort.

If Arthur were that simple, Dumbledore wouldn't have valued him so much.

At this point, if Isaac were to tell Percy directly that his father is a very powerful figure, Percy might not believe it.

However, once Percy has gained some experience in the workplace, he should realize the true value of his father's connections.

Isaac has always been happy to help others with their wraths and bruises.

“Listen to me, buddy, you can’t write this letter to Scringer. You should write it to Minister Fudge.”

If you're going to write, write it to the oldest one.

By the way, you need to write something that will touch his heart.

Chapter 124 Sirius's Letter

Who is Scrimgeour? He's a veteran Auror whom Dumbledore described as decisive and charismatic.

Although Dumbledore was comparing Cornelius Fudge when he said this.

This man is a true man of action, who has spent his entire life fighting dark wizards. He is pragmatic and tough, as can be seen from his actions in Diagon Alley.

Most importantly, in the factions about wizarding bloodlines, Scrimgeour is not as biased towards pure-blood wizards as Cornelius Fudge.

So that makes Scrimgeour sound like a pretty good Auror, right?

But everyone has two sides, and Scrimgeour's personality has both advantages and disadvantages.

His weakness is that he is too bold and decisive.

To put it bluntly, if Percy acts obsequiously, a veteran Auror like Scrimgeour, who has been cursed by the spell, will definitely look down on him.

However, if they encountered a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore, it would arouse Scrimgeour's apprehension.

In short, it can't be too soft, and it can't be too hard.

Scrinker's personality is the most difficult to handle.

Unless you become his subordinate and let him get to know you little by little, he will eventually trust you.

But how many years will that take?

If Percy were willing to toil away at the Ministry of Magic, he wouldn't have to follow Isaac around calling him "sir."

Ultimately, isn't it all about wanting to make rapid progress?

On the contrary, Fudge, being a competent politician, would certainly not hesitate to promote Percy if he could see the benefits.

To be fair, isn't Percy better than that pink toad?

I choose you, Percy Weasley!

The organization has decided to send you to take down the pink toad, Umbridge!

“Percy, what do you think the minister wants right now?” Isaac asked Percy.

"Hmm..." A top student never misses an opportunity to think. When Isaac asked the question, Percy immediately began to ponder deeply.

"Let me think about it, I need to think about it."

After thinking for a dozen seconds, Percy's eyes lit up: "I heard that Death Eaters cast the 'Resurrected Bones' spell in Diagon Alley, so the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived very quickly."

If the Auror operation goes smoothly, the Minister will certainly hope that the Aurors will arrest all the troublemaking Death Eaters.

But the Aurors' actions don't seem to be going very smoothly...

Isaac thoughtfully added some information that Percy didn't know, such as: "It's not 'not very successful,' but rather that the Auror's operation was a complete failure."

They didn't catch the Death Eaters who robbed Gringotts, and they still didn't catch the Death Eaters who used Fiendfire in Gringotts.

Scrimgeour and the Aurors did two things in Diagon Alley.

They subdued the fire dragon in Gringotts' underground vault and extinguished the Fiery Blaze that the Death Eaters had set inside.

Percy's mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide open.

No, boss, how do you know so much?

You couldn't have been watching the spectacle from Diagon Alley, could you?

Although shocked, Percy reacted quickly: "I understand. The minister's biggest concern right now is to suppress the news of Operation Auror's failure!"

“Correct,” Isaac agreed with Percy.

That's exactly what happened.

Cornelius Fudge is still in the minister's office waiting for the good news of Scrimgeour's triumphant return.

He discovered that he hadn't brought back the Death Eaters from Scrimgeour, but instead a few dark wizards who looked like lackeys and a goblin from Gringotts.
