Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 395 389 Wizard Card: The Mysterious Wizard Tom's Unleashed Form

Chapter 395, 389. Wizard Card: The Mysterious Wizard - Tom Unleashed.

Her words filled Carlo with awe.

In Caro's view, the English Ministry of Magic was like a stinking, hopeless garbage dump, full of gambling addicts (Ludo Bagman), mediocre people (Fudge), villains (Umbridge), Death Eaters (several), opportunists (several), sycophants (several), and so on.

In such an environment, it is extremely difficult to find someone like Amelia who remains untainted by the mire.

So he said, "Ms. Burns, I admire your fearless attitude, but I think..."

"There cannot be meaningless deaths."

"Going out now is no different than sending yourself to your death. According to my intelligence, the Ministry of Magic is teeming with Death Eaters."

"You're guaranteed to be besieged the moment you show your face."

Although the middle and upper management were weeded out and another batch was put in, fortunately, it wasn't just Death Eaters who were put in.

Fudge's Ministry of Magic was a complete sieve.

"And even if not for your own sake, you should also consider your children and your family. Senior Tom will not let the Burns family off the hook. Once you die, their fate will be sealed."

"Your brother, Mr. Edgar Burns, was the first wizard to stand up and openly oppose him."

"Just like Mr. Potter, he represents a flag."

"That's why he sees you and your family as enemies and wants to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Carlo said in a deep voice.

"As long as you don't die, one of the flags won't fall, and Mr. Potter will be a little safer."

Carlo persuaded Amelia with just a few words.

"So what can I do here now?"

"You don't need to do anything, just wait quietly."

"Waiting for what?"

"The call to launch a counterattack; I will become Minister of Magic."

"Mr. Dursley believes you are the most suitable candidate."

When Dudley was mentioned, Carlo's face was full of admiration, and his tone was full of respect.

"The Minister of Magic should be Dumbledore."

Amelia was somewhat surprised by Carlo's attitude. Although she knew that Dudley was outstanding, having invented the Restoration Charm and was the youngest Wizengamo, she did not expect that even the patriarch of the Carlo family would have such high regard for him.

At the same time, I was also shocked by what Carol said. You think you can decide who the Minister of Magic is?

"No, Professor Dumbledore will not actually become Minister for Magic. He will resign after he has resolved Tom's matter."

Carlo said confidently, tapping the table lightly with his index finger knuckle, his movements and tone remarkably similar to Dudley's.

"But why me? There are many others in the Ministry of Magic."

"Because of your fair and impartial attitude, treating all cases the same."

The longer they talked, the more doubts Amelia had, so she sighed and decided to stop talking about the issue altogether.

"Why do you all call him 'Senior Tom'?"

The topic shift was quite abrupt, but Carlo didn't mind.

He pulled a gleaming playing card from his pocket and handed it to Amelia: "Perhaps this can tell you something about that."

Amelia picked it up. She recognized the card; it was a wizard card, her youngest daughter's favorite pastime.

Looking at the description on the card, he slowly read it aloud.

"Tom's Unleashed Form."

"The Dark Wizard: Tom Marvolo Riddle, the Dark Lord?"

"He graduated from Hogwarts; he is indeed our senior."

Amelia was speechless for a moment; she felt like she had stumbled upon an incredible piece of gossip.

"The third World's Greatest Wizard Card Tournament will be held in three months, and we will release this card before then."

"What are you going to do?"

Amelia paused here, then, as if remembering something, quickly added, "Wait...you guys made that Harry Potter movie too?"

Carlo smiled but did not answer her, neither denying nor continuing the conversation.

The impact of the book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" exceeded expectations. In just a few days, its sales surpassed those of the Daily Prophet and the Contradictory Daily, reaching the level of Poison and Antidote magazines.

Almost every wizard was discussing this matter. Although the vast majority remained skeptical of the book's contents—after all, most wizards had graduated from Hogwarts over the decades—a small minority firmly believed that the book's contents were true.

The matter would have ended there; Dumbledore's reputation suffered some damage, but not much.

But Fudge stepped forward at this moment.

He publicly declared that the contents of the book were true and valid, guaranteeing it with his personal integrity, and subsequently, his staunch supporter Umbridge also publicly endorsed it.

The entire Ministry of Magic seemed poised to hold Dumbledore accountable.

Although wizards frequently criticize the Ministry of Magic for its incompetence, it is, after all, the authoritative organization in the wizarding world, and its credibility is not without flaws. This has led more and more people to believe in the authenticity of the books' contents, resulting in a significant drop in Dumbledore's reputation.

An individual can be wise, but a group of people are often foolish.

Most importantly, Dumbledore never showed his face from beginning to end, nor did he give a single interview; he stayed at Hogwarts and never left the premises.

This left even the wizards who had initially supported him speechless.

"Perfect, perfect!"

Fudge clapped and cheered excitedly in the office, his face flushed red with excitement, like a monkey's bottom.

He couldn't help but be unhappy. Now that Amelia had disappeared and was most likely dead, Dumbledore's reputation had plummeted, and two of the most powerful contenders for Minister of Magic had been eliminated. The remaining people were no threat at all.

At that moment, Fudge seemed to see hope again.

His hopes of being re-elected Minister of Magic.

"If only we could get Dumbledore out of the game completely."

Fudge muttered to himself.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Percy rushed in from outside.

He closed the door gently, looking very mysterious.

Before Fudge could ask, Percy leaned closer and whispered something.

"Minister, I have fulfilled my mission and discovered the Death Eaters' gathering place."

Upon hearing this, Fudge immediately perked up.

When I feel really sleepy, someone gives me a pillow.

"Where?" Fudge's eyes lit up.

Percy spoke again.
