My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 323, Section 320: A Terrible Politician

"Why does he need my protection? Even if that dark wizard is powerful, is he as powerful as Professor Dumbledore? With Professor Dumbledore in charge of Hogwarts, he shouldn't dare to act recklessly, right?"

Lynn displayed the kind of trust that Hogwarts students often have towards Dumbledore.

Fudge shook his head at this.

"Albus is very strong. With him around, of course no one will cause trouble at Hogwarts. But he is, after all, the headmaster of Hogwarts and is responsible for all the students. So of course his eyes won't always be on Harry Potter."

Lynn understood what Fudge meant; he was actually afraid that Sirius would escape and sneak into Hogwarts to kill Harry Potter.

If such a serious incident were to occur during his term, his ability to continue serving as Minister for Magic would certainly be questioned by his political opponents.

So, to prevent the chair from becoming unstable, he needed to find Harry a reliable bodyguard who could keep a close eye on him.

Lynn, who had demonstrated his strength by defeating the Basilisk and was only one year ahead of Harry Potter, happened to appear before Fudge at that moment.

That's why we had that conversation just now.

Fudge is a typical vain and power-hungry villain. All he did was not concerned about Harry's safety, but purely to keep his position as Minister of Magic.

He tried to coax Lynn, a qualified henchman, into staying at Hogwarts and protecting Harry, without caring that Lynn was only a year older than Harry. If Lynn listened to him and died protecting Harry Potter, who would be responsible?

Although Lynn despised people like Fudge, he wasn't unhappy with him at all. On the contrary, he was very happy that someone like Fudge could stay in the position of Minister of Magic, because he only liked power and money, and once he knew his weakness, such a person would be very easy to control.

"You mean I have to keep an eye on Harry Potter at school and make sure he's not in any danger?"

Fudge smiled kindly: "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. I have high hopes for you, Lynn. If you can guarantee that Harry Potter will be in no danger during this term, I will consider hiring you as an employee of the Ministry of Magic at a high salary after you graduate."

Lynn secretly scoffed at Fudge's promise, but outwardly agreed with an excited expression.

"I can assure you, Mr. Minister, that as long as Harry is at Hogwarts, I will guarantee his safety."

"That's wonderful, Mr. Bellok. There's one more thing, and I hope that no one else will know about our conversation," Fudge said, staring into Lynn's eyes.

Lynn looked at him with an innocent expression: "Of course I will keep the secret, Minister."

"Enjoy your meal, I won't bother you any longer."

Fudge left satisfied after achieving his goal, while Lynn acted like a complete naive young man, seemingly having completely won over the young wizard's trust.

Not long after he left, Dumbledore returned with a small plate of scones. He handed the plate of scones to Lynn, and instead of asking what they had talked about while he was gone, he asked...

What do you think of this minister?

Just then, Fudge, who was telling a joke to the two witches in the distance, making them chuckle and cover their mouths, turned around and made eye contact with Lynn. Lynn smiled, raised the scones in his hand, nodded to him, and answered Dumbledore's question in a low voice.

"He is a terrible politician."

The Order of Merlin's second-class medal didn't bring Lynn any substantial benefits, but it did give him a glimpse into what kind of people the upper echelons of the wizarding world were.

In this respect, they are no different from Muggles; they are both blinded by profit.

After receiving the medal, Lynn had a month left of summer vacation. In addition to keeping a close eye on Xiaomai and strictly controlling her gaming time, and taking her out for a morning run every day, he finally managed to learn half of the Guardian Charm.

I don't know if it's because his mind is too dark, or because he has too high an affinity for dark magic, but his progress in learning this kind of righteous magic is very slow.

He first encountered the Guardian Charm and began practicing it at the beginning of the third grade. Although he was busy with the secret chamber project, he never missed a day of practice. However, even now, as the fourth grade is about to start, he still cannot fully summon his Guardian Charm.

The dense silver light that condensed at the tip of the wand was as large as a Spirit Bomb, yet it showed no sign of taking on the shape of an animal.

Over time, Lynn began to have doubts, feeling that his own guardian spirit was actually like this, looking like a cannonball. When encountering Dementors, he would fire a guardian spirit cannon, blasting those demons and monsters to pieces.

Of course, this was just his guess, and he had never had the chance to test it on a Dementor, but he would soon have that opportunity.

Besides practicing spells and collecting a medal, Lynn also took some time to allocate the free points and legendary points he had earned in his third year through his title to various attributes.

The Ravenclaw and Gryffindor titles awarded him two Constitution points, the Slytherin and Hufflepuff titles awarded him two Free Attribute points, and the final Fusion title awarded him one Legendary Attribute.

He mindlessly poured that little bit of legendary value into dark magic. He planned to max out his dark magic talent to ten points first and see what would happen. Then he would use the remaining legendary value to add to other attributes that had already reached seven.

Lynn's attribute panel now looks like this:

Name: Lynn Bellock

[Titles: Despicable kidnapper, Slytherin's finest offspring, Dark Lord terminator, ruler of Hogwarts.]

[Magic Index: 9]

[Free points: 0]

[Constitution Points: 8]

[Reward Talent: Disguise Magus]

Lynn put all four of his free points into the talent of Bloodline Inheritance.

The effectiveness of passing on bloodlines has now changed.

[Bloodline Inheritance 6: Your spells can be amplified from 1x to 3x, and you can freely choose the amplification effect.]

Even if Lynn could manipulate the probability of pseudo-randomness before, each time he released a spell, it was still full of uncertainty. But now, the inherited bloodline undoubtedly greatly improves the stability.
