A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 1026 An Unthinkable Path

According to William's original plan:

In the shortest possible time, help Hermione become the youngest Minister for Magic.

This is easy to do, especially during wartime; it's very easy to boost her reputation.

Of course, it would be even easier for William if he wanted to be the one.

You can do it, but it's unnecessary.

It doesn't matter whether Hermione or I am the minister, since the position belongs to the Starks anyway.

As for the length of his term, let's not talk about centuries. If we look at the daily life of the English Lord Chancellor, it's quite remarkable, isn't it?

Then, it will only take a little time to bring the British magical world under William's control.

Meanwhile, in France, Clegane was nearing the age to step down, and it was the perfect time to support Hibiscus in taking over.

We have a Minister of Magic on one side, plus the support of Italy and Austria, two countries that William saved...

Continue to steadily expand your base and gradually become the president of the International Federation of Wizards.

This was William's initial three-step strategy.

But this process is destined to be slow and bumpy.

The difficulty mainly comes from the third step.

There are many wizarding nations in the world, but as the Great Ying Empire declines, its influence is also decreasing.

Becoming the president of the federation isn't something you can achieve just through prestige.

Each country is certainly striving for its own interests, rather than allowing a young and powerful wizard to come to power.

Therefore, William's initial goal for himself, ideally, was a three-to-five-year plan, spanning fifteen years.

At that time, he will be the youngest president of the International Wizarding Federation, a central institution capable of controlling the entire magical world.

But, during his conversation with Dumbledore, William was suddenly surprised to find... a path he had never imagined had appeared.

That is the upcoming European wizarding alliance, which is meant to fight against the Death Eaters.

If this alliance were to remain intact, wouldn't it be the basic prototype of the Great European Wizarding Alliance?

In peacetime, forming such a coalition would be simply impossible.

It is even less likely that the UK would take the lead.

For five hundred years, the Great Yingdi Kingdom has been a troublemaker in the European continent.

The surrounding countries don't really like it.

But now, during wartime, these barriers between nations have suddenly disappeared.

Once William becomes Wizengamo, given his status and prestige, he will undoubtedly become the commander of the Allied forces.

And after the war, he certainly wouldn't easily disband this coalition.

The reason?

There are too many... For example, we need to continue to purge the remaining Death Eaters.

For example, historically speaking, Europe is the land most likely to give birth to a dark lord.

Indeed, a standing army is needed, not only to be responsible for European security and well-being, but also for administrative management...

Even without these reasons, it's still the best excuse to be wary of the Russians to the east.

Could there really be European wizards who think Russia is a European country?

I, Da Ying, absolutely refuse to acknowledge this!

In any case, whether it's continuing to suppress Death Eaters or geopolitics, these are all good reasons to form a Greater European Union.

It's also much easier for people to accept it.

This approach is many times faster than the so-called three-step plan of the federation president.

William suddenly realized that starting from scratch might be more convenient.

The essence is:

I've overturned this chessboard, set the rules, and am playing by myself. I'm not going to waste time with a bunch of trash like you!

Of course, that's a matter for the future.

At least for now, William is behaving himself and will definitely not reveal such "dangerous" thoughts.

Compared to such long-term concerns, immediate worries are more pressing.

That means the NEWT exam is approaching.

The NEWT exam is the highest level exam that students can take during their school years.

Its exam content is much less than that of OWL.s, but the difficulty is several times greater.

Most importantly, this thing will seriously affect my future work.

Therefore, even after a relaxed holiday, everyone's enthusiasm for learning suddenly soared at the start of the new semester.

At this point, it would be incredibly foolish to ask questions like, "Can a student who scores 200 points improve to 600 points in three months?"

You might as well think more about which job after graduation doesn't require 996 (working from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week).

Originally, she wanted to be like Akali and wouldn't even look down on a job that paid 300 Galleons a month, but now she's willing to consider even a job that pays 30 Galleons.

Choosing a major has become a major issue.

Students who choose the anti-curse major, in particular, are told that after graduation they will have to go to Egypt to eat sand and won't be able to come back for several months.

In that much time, forget about a wife, even a girlfriend would probably have turned into someone else's shape by now...

What? You don't have a girlfriend?

That's fine.

As seventh-grade students who had taken the OWLS exam, they were well-prepared.

I had long ago stockpiled a lot of magic potions to improve concentration, enhance brainpower, and cure insomnia.

In the lead-up to exams, these are hard currency, even more reliable than gallons.

In addition, prices were already soaring during wartime.

Suddenly, the price of potions began to skyrocket.

Many students are hoarding goods, hoping to sell them at a high price.

But with Akali's store, how can we let these black merchants make the money?

As the student council president, William cracked down on the black market and cracked down on low-priced counterfeit and shoddy products, while also encouraging everyone to recognize established brands.

Akali's Shop!

In this chaotic environment, the new school year's Quidditch matches are finally about to begin.

The Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor match will be held in the third week of school.

William has skipped four matches in a row, and Ravenclaw has only lost one of those matches.

The record looks good, but the game they lost... was really ugly.

Because of Anne's amazing performance, she scored 160 points by herself and ultimately helped Harry catch the Golden Snitch.

Everyone suddenly realized:

Annie will unleash a powerful attack whenever Ravenclaw is on the field.

Just like Westbrook, when he encounters the team of his former "traitor" brother, he acts like a god of war.

To avoid being defeated twice by Gryffindor, which would be detrimental to their ranking, Qiu quickly sent William into the game to play a pair of pairs.

Anyway, William taught Anne all his skills, so dealing with her was a piece of cake.

As for Hufflepuff and Slytherin, they would definitely want Ravenclaw to lose so that Gryffindor could once again defeat the hawk.

After all, Gryffindor is a team that helps weaker teams gain confidence and helps stronger teams find their weaknesses.

They beat Ravenclaw, but could then suffer a heavy defeat against another team.

Surprisingly, the person who least wanted Ravenclaw to lose was Ron.

He was just waiting for Gryffindor to lose so Harry could kick McLaggen out.

Then he took over as goalkeeper and successfully led Gryffindor to win the Quidditch Cup.

The idea was good, but Harry preferred to kick Dean out.

Because Dean is on the team, it's really affecting his pursuit of Dean's...girlfriend.
