Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Just as the two were struggling with how to start the conversation, Percy Weasley suddenly stood behind them.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but I think I just overheard you discussing Minister Fouché?"

Although the sentence was a question, Percy's tone was very certain.

He clearly heard everything Isaac said.

Chapter 89 Gryffindor Marquez

"Percy, you heard everything just now?" Ron frowned subconsciously. How come he didn't know that his brother had a habit of eavesdropping?

Percy remained unfazed by his brother's questioning.

"I just saw you and Harry here and wanted to say hello and ask how your first morning at Hogwarts went."

Percy puffed out his chest as he spoke, the prefect's badge, which he had polished to a gleaming shine, was proudly pinned to his chest.

“You know that, Ron.”

This is also part of a class monitor's daily work.

Once Percy explained it, Ron immediately understood.

Ron knew perfectly well that Percy wasn't a particularly enthusiastic person, but it wasn't surprising if this was a prefect's task.

Thinking of this, Ron didn't hide anything, mainly because Isaac hadn't told him to keep it a secret.

Isaac has arranged to meet Minister Fudge of the Ministry of Magic at noon in the Hogwarts dungeons. I wonder what they plan to talk about.

He asked me and Harry to greet Minister Fudge at the castle's main gate and then take him to the dungeon.

At this point, Ron seemed to remember something: "By the way, Percy, do you know where the castle's dungeons are?"

Ministry of Magic! Minister Fudge! Meeting!!!

One exclamation mark after another kept popping up in Percy's mind.

Unlike the Weasley brothers, who were naturally carefree and independent, Percy was a smart man, but he was never a wise man.

At the same time, compared to Bill and Charlie, Percy seems to have a greater sense of responsibility.

While studying at Hogwarts, he developed a desire for power, believing that he needed the help of power to change his family's situation.

His father's power as the "Director of the Office Against the Misuse of Muggle Items" at the Ministry of Magic was far from sufficient.

Moreover, over the years, he had never seen his father receive a promotion.

In Percy's view, his father's political career had come to an end.

But he needs to climb higher.

Therefore, he prepared an excellent resume for himself during his time at Hogwarts, which would ensure that he would stand out among his peers.

At the same time, he also tried to learn some ways to gain power through self-study.

For example, he has a book called "How Class Leaders Gain Power," which he has almost worn out from reading it so many times.

Percy was a smart man after all. He knew very well that no matter how hard he tried to read the book, it wouldn't be as effective as showing his face to the Minister of Magic.

If he can make Minister Fudge remember him, his future career in the Ministry of Magic will certainly be smoother.

As for Isaac, who can meet with Minister Fudge at any time...

To be honest, it's impossible to say that Percy had no feelings for Isaac, but he wasn't jealous either.

At the Sorting Ceremony, when Dumbledore raised his glass to Isaac, Percy knew they were from completely different worlds.

But that didn't stop Percy from setting his sights on his brother's friend.

Well done, Ron! You finally came in handy once.

Percy was determined to do something. If he couldn't make a name for himself in front of Minister Fudge today, he would at least try to get in touch with Isaac.

Damn it, why isn't Isaac a Gryffindor wizard?

In this way, his position as prefect would allow him to have more natural contact with Isaac himself.

Percy could certainly use his status as a Gryffindor prefect to approach Isaac, and then it would be up to Gabriel to decide whether to punish him or not.

Gabriel, as a prefect of Hufflepuff, had a temperament that was nothing like that of a Hufflepuff.

That was a firecracker, it exploded at the slightest touch.

Thinking of this, Percy's expression immediately showed obvious disgust: "The dungeon? Believe me, you won't like that place."

Because the Hogwarts dungeons are located near the Slytherin common room.

To be precise, Slytherin's common room was also part of the dungeons.

"Slytherin?" Just as Percy had expected, Ron also joined in the disdain, as if Slytherin House were something dirty.

Harry, on the other hand, didn't react as strongly as Ron. He even wore a thoughtful expression.

Slytherin...isn't that the house of the not-so-bright Malfoy and...Professor Snape?

So, the Slytherin common room is in the dungeon.

Just as Ron was hesitating about whether to go, Percy suddenly suggested, "Since you don't want to go, Ron, I'll take Harry to greet Minister Fudge."

Anyway, you all need someone who knows the way to guide you.

Upon hearing Percy's suggestion, Ron agreed without hesitation.

Isaac mainly asked Harry for help, so it wasn't a big deal to have Percy, who knew the way, take his place.

When Ron agreed, Percy was overjoyed. After the three of them had lunch, Percy took Harry to the restaurant immediately.

He was muttering to himself as he walked.

"Reporting, Percy Weasley, Prefect of Gryffindor at Hogwarts, requests an audience!"

"To pay my respects to... I should say, to pay my respects to the esteemed Minister Fouché."

"Your Excellency, Minister."

"Dear..."

"Gryffindor Prefect Percy greets the Honorable Minister..."

Harry followed Percy, listening to the man muttering something in a cryptic way.

After listening carefully, I was speechless.

No, this guy looks just like Ma Kui from Tianjin Station.

Harry didn't know what Tianjin Station was, nor did he know who Marquis was. But at that moment, Harry felt that Ron's older brother, Percy, resembled Marquis.

The Great Hall, on the long table of Gryffindor.

After Harry and Percy left, Hermione looked up, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to Ron.

"Hey Ron, your brother seems really excited about the task Isaac gives Harry?"

Hermione was certain that her current statement was the most tactful and diplomatic one she could muster.

Percy's behavior just now was far too obvious. He thought no one could tell, but in fact, he couldn't hide it from anyone.

However, Hermione couldn't directly tell Ron that her brother seemed to have some problems, since she hadn't yet learned her lesson from Scabbard.

She'd only slap herself twice if she got up in the middle of the night, but she didn't want to slap herself twice more because of Percy.

Ron found Hermione's cautious manner amusing and said to her casually, "That's just how Percy is."

His life goal is to become a Ministry of Magic official, just like his father.

Now that he heard the Minister of Magic was coming to Hogwarts Castle, he certainly couldn't sit still.

"So you specifically entrusted the commission to him?" Hermione was completely surprised.

It wasn't that Percy was a careerist, but rather that Ron was surprisingly intelligent.

Merlin, you're not magical at all!

"Please, don't look at me like that!" Ron couldn't stand Hermione's gaze, which was like she was looking at an intelligent insect.

Yes, he's not as smart as Hermione, but Percy is his brother.

They live together every day, so how could the younger brother not know what his older brother is like?

"Percy would definitely be tempted by the chance to meet the Minister of Magic. If he's so eager to go, let him go. I certainly don't want to go to Slytherin's territory."

After listening to Ron's words, Hermione seemed thoughtful. It seems this kid's brain isn't completely empty after all?

On the other side, at the main gate of the castle, the anxious Percy finally met Minister Fudge, whom he had been longing to see.

Cornelius Fudge, who rushed over, immediately spotted Harry next to Percy.

“Harry? Is that you, Harry??” Fudge strode over, completely ignoring Percy Weasley, who was about to salute him.

“Minister, do you know me?” Harry glanced at Percy, not wanting to steal the spotlight.
