Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Since they saw themselves sparring with Professor Wenda, they must have also seen that Professor Wenda gave them something.

Ambitious wizards are naturally thirsty for knowledge, but Gabriel doesn't have the same sense of propriety as Cedric.

Actually, even if Gabriel were the only one here, he might not have asked Isaac for this.

Thinking about it is fine, but thinking about it doesn't break the law.

However... Isaac is a generous person; this is just a list of books that can be used in the Hogwarts library.

Isaac pulled out his book list and wand, and tapped them lightly: "Duplicate."

One booklet became three, and with an expectant and encouraging smile, he handed the booklets to Cedric and Gabriel.

"This is for you. Have a nice morning."

Chapter 83 A Letter to Fudge

After Isaac left, Gabriel eagerly opened the booklet, only to be rendered speechless by the numerous quotation marks covering the pages.

Cedric, curious, also opened the book list and chuckled to himself.

Well, how should I put this book list...?

To give an example, it's like someone telling the wizard Gabriel that there is a shortcut to becoming stronger, and then he eagerly asks for more information.

That person was generous and even happy to share his shortcuts to becoming stronger.

He told Gabriel that as long as he went to the Hogwarts library and read all the books from A to Z, and understood and mastered the contents, he could become a powerful wizard.

Hmm... still the kind of extremely powerful wizard.

Then the man told Gabriel that looking from A to Z might not be very accurate, and that he should start from H.

As a seasoned fifth-year student at Hogwarts, how could Gabriel not know that knowledge is power in the magical world?

Gabriel was an excellent wizarding apprentice who was able to serve as a prefect in Hufflepuff.

However, his excellence was truly limited to the level of an ordinary wizard apprentice.

He really couldn't understand Isaac, a genius who could become stronger by reading books—did he not want to become stronger by reading books?

There are some books he simply can't understand.

Modern English has established professional barriers for some specialized terms, and people who are not in the field do not know what those terms mean.

In the realm of magic, there is another complex language: Rune.

Gabriel then realized the difference between a genius wizard and an ordinary wizard. He wasn't disappointed; instead, he was somewhat worried about his friend.

Cedric was a recognized genius in Hufflepuff and even in the entire Hogwarts before Isaac enrolled.

However, the difference between geniuses can be even greater than the gap between ordinary people and geniuses.

"Ha, why are you looking at me like that, Gabby?" Cedric's smile was completely genuine.

"Isaac's talent is a good thing for the whole of Hufflepuff, or do you think that if you can do it, I can't?"

As a descendant of Hufflepuff wizards, Cedric knew very well that what Hufflepuffs relied on for survival in the wizarding world was never any talent that could be seen with the naked eye.

It's not about family background or personal charm.

They have always labeled themselves as low-key and loyal, down-to-earth and hardworking.

These labels are not innate, but rather subtly acquired at Hufflepuff School, passed down from senior students to freshmen through words and deeds.

They weren't born into glamorous circumstances, but they had their own way of surviving.

Cedric's smile remained as bright as ever, and he even had the mood to joke with his friend: "Buddy, we Hufflepuffs are probably going to have a big shot in the future."

What are the big shots of Hufflepuff busy with right now?

He was eating breakfast while thinking about writing a letter to Cornelius Fudge.

The last time Fudge came to Hogwarts, Isaac could sense the Minister of Magic's apprehension towards Dumbledore.

However, exonerating Sirius Black would inevitably involve the Ministry of Magic.

In that case, Isaac decided to act as a buffer zone for Dumbledore and Fudge.

As long as Fudge doesn't have to confront Dumbledore directly, the Minister of Magic can at least still demonstrate above-average political abilities.

Fudge could be considered a competent politician, but not a statesman.

Of course, Isaac didn't have a bad impression of him.

No one can feel ill will towards someone who gives you 1000 Galleons just because you said a few nice things.

And that limited edition seamless stretch bag from the Ministry of Magic.

This thing could theoretically be used until Isaac dies, and most importantly, its source is legitimate.

It is a reward from the Ministry of Magic, with clear ownership, and perfectly circumvents the Ministry of Magic's regulations on the use of the Unseen Stretch Charm.

Minister Fudge offered Isaac a bribe right from the start and didn't say a harsh word when they met, so his goodwill towards Isaac was naturally quite high.

While Isaac was writing and eating, Ernie and Justin also came to the Great Hall together.

"Isaac, so early."

Isaac put down his pen and looked up at the two of them: "You're early enough too."

Those who are present in the Great Hall of Hogwarts at this moment are basically the most powerful figures in Hogwarts.

Of course, there are also Gryffindors who stay up all night.

The only face Isaac truly recognized was Hermione Granger, sitting alone at the Gryffindor table, engrossed in her pre-class preparation.

Although they knew each other, Isaac simply nodded as a greeting.

They'll be at Hogwarts for a long time to come, so there's no need for them to get together on their first day.

"There was nothing I could do. The first class was Professor Snape's Potions class, and I just couldn't fall back asleep after dawn."

Ernie still subtly and overtly revealed his identity as one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, but his unconventional boasting was not offensive.

This guy is genuinely honest; he's truly willing to share any information with his classmates.

Just like Justin, who was standing next to him, instantly sobered up after hearing Ernie's description of Snape's personality.

Ernie and Justin sat down next to Isaac and began to eat breakfast.

Ernie and Justin also took the opportunity to explain to Isaac how terrifying Professor Snape was.

However, Ernie's version of Professor Snape is clearly "literary embellished," meaning that certain aspects of Professor Snape's personality are particularly highlighted.

such as…

"Actually, Professor Snape doesn't really cause trouble for Hufflepuff. He won't penalize us unless we provoke him or make a particularly stupid mistake in front of him."

Compared to our Hufflepuffs, Professor Snape actually preferred deducting points from Gryffindor.

Snape originally treated all three houses except Slytherin equally, since James Potter and the other three were from Gryffindor.

Wouldn't this just solidify the hatred between them?

"So don't worry, our first class is with Ravenclaw. Even if Professor Snape is in a bad mood, he'll treat both houses equally."

Well, it's still a situation of one good news and one bad news.

The good news is that Professor Snape isn't as terrible as Ernie described.

The bad news is that it's not much better anyway.

Isaac quickly ate a couple of bites of fried egg and bacon, then put away the parchment: "You guys eat first, I'm going to mail a letter."

Ernie and Justin nodded, then ate their bland breakfast with heavy hearts.

Isaac didn't go to the owl shed; his Kuku was in the dormitory.

Isaac gave the letter to Kuku, asking it to deliver it to the generous Minister Fudge.

In the morning, in the Minister of Magic's office, Umbridge, dressed in pink, came to Fudge's desk with a letter.

"Your Excellency, can you guess who sent you this letter?"

Chapter 84 My Little Mr. Dumbledore

Fudge's eyes darted around as if he had thought of something.

"Oh? Could it be that our little Mr. Dumbledore has written to me? Quick, let me see the letter and what he wrote!"

“It’s Mr. Waldorley, Your Excellency Minister.” At this time, Umbridge was not yet the future Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic; she had only recently stepped down as Director of the Office for the Prevention of the Abuse of Magic.

She had just been promoted by Fudge to Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic.

Currently, her role as assistant deputy minister mainly involves administrative and internal affairs.

This includes, but is not limited to, assisting Minister Fudge in managing the staff of his office and helping him draft decrees concerning the British wizarding community.

As for the more important personnel, financial, and even military powers within the Ministry of Magic, the former two were Fudge's lifeblood, while the latter, military power...

To be honest, even Fudge himself hasn't fully mastered the Magic Law Enforcement Division.

The former head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was a strong contender for Minister of Magic at the time, but he resigned from his post due to the scandal of his son being a Death Eater.
