Chapter 306 The Miraculous Transformation of the Wrongfully Killed Fairy
Lockhart first went to the Bloodline Hall of the Department of Mysteries.
Amidst the swirling smoke, a faint crimson light flickered.
There are many well-preserved corpses here, appearing to have been dead for a long time but still retaining a sense of life—giant's, centaur's, and...
Fairy-like, and even wizard-like —
An extremely rich repository of magical bloodlines.
This abundance of resources quickly attracted Voldemort.
He floated beside me, silently observing everything around him. "In the past, I used to scoff at the Ministry of Magic, thinking they were incapable of accomplishing anything."
He added with a touch of感慨, "But compared to the Wizarding Council of the previous era," the Ministry of Magic has indeed accomplished many remarkable things.
Lockhart agreed wholeheartedly, "The Wizarding Council is essentially a gathering of elders from various tribes. Although wizards relied on this organizational power to defeat fairies and dragons in the early days, it is clearly outdated now."
"So this new era—" Voldemort turned to Lockhart, "is a magic school-centered system?"
"I actually agree with this view." Lockhart asked Ms. Mary, who was busy here, to look through the experimental records.
She now helps Lockhart raise Hakimi here, so that Hakimi can be imbued with more mystery.
Voldemort couldn't stand creatures like Hakimi.
In his eyes, this represented a future that he absolutely loathed, where Muggles would enter into magical life by relying on Hakimi, thereby awakening their magical bloodline.
Although it's only the beginning, and even the theories of magic are somewhat rudimentary.
"Dark Magic Creature Breeding —"
Voldemort murmured to himself. He had initially considered walking the path of magic himself; his ancestor Salazar Slytherin had bred exceptionally skilled basilisks. After obtaining a wealth of experimental data from opening the Chamber of Secrets during his student days, he had also intended to pursue this magical path.
To restore the glory of our ancestors!
Well, in this respect, his talent isn't actually that great.
Later, due to his entanglement with the political issue of "pure-bloodedness," and after witnessing too many wizards who had hybridized with magical creatures, he developed aversion to and disregard for it.
At one point, they even looked down on basilisks and house-elves.
"Yes, this is my magical path." Lockhart put down his experimental records, somewhat emotional. "From the theory of fairy tales, to the breeding of dark magic creatures, to the Patronus Charm, to blood magic, and now I am vaguely stepping into relationship magic that seems to encompass the entire magical world."
""
He smacked his lips. "Sometimes we have to admit that magic is about choosing wizards."
The two continued their discussion as they arrived at the Department of Magical Creatures Control.
The House-to-Elves Placement Office is a subordinate agency of this company.
"what?"
"A wandering spirit that doesn't belong to nature?"
Just then, the Fairy of the Wrongfully Killed walked out carrying a pile of documents. Seeing Voldemort in his ghostly form, she tilted her head and observed him with some confusion.
Lockhart chuckled. "Yes, that hits the nail on the head. Almost no one can accurately describe Tom's current state. You've clearly seen the essence of it all."
The magic that a wizard excels at can actually be traced back to the course of his life.
Voldemort is currently in a ghostly state, and many of the techniques he possesses are the ghosts of Horcrux magic.
The projection that appeared beside Lockhart, in addition to the power of blood magic, also possessed the magical techniques of Voldemort possessing Professor Quirrell and the snake-like body.
Voldemort was annoyed by the pointing fingers and whispers around him. He sneered at the unjustly murdered fairy, "A dark magic creature?"
Then, turning to Lockhart, he asked, "Did you breed them?"
The reason for mentioning the topic of "cultivation" is mainly because the current state of the unjustly killed fairy is extremely special.
She has not even begun to resemble a "dark magic creature" that has begun to possess biological characteristics, but has gone a step further and begun to "become a wizard".
In fact, many people in the Ministry of Magic probably don't know that the Fairy who died unjustly was a dark magic creature.
In order to further enter the wizarding life (this is a fairy tale adventure belonging to dark magic creatures, just like humans coming to a fairy tale world), the current life of the wrongfully killed fairy has too many wizarding characteristics.
For example, wearing a Chanel business suit, the rounded black stockings under the mid-calf business skirt look particularly alluring.
It was wearing a pair of non-prescription glasses, making it look more human than a human.
This is not something that ordinary dark magic creatures can do.
Without Lockhart's nurturing of dark magic creatures, Voldemort absolutely refused to believe that the dark magic creature before him could have transformed into this on its own.
"No, no, no," Lockhart denied Voldemort's claim. "She's family!"
"family----"
Voldemort disliked this statement, scoffed, and his figure quickly vanished.
"This guy is really hard to like," Lockhart muttered.
The Fairy of the Wrongfully Killed simply smiled at Lockhart, completely ignoring Voldemort and showing no concern what he was saying.
"Are you settling in well here?" Lockhart hoped she could delve more into wizarding life and inspire more humanity.
The results seem to be good.
The wronged fairy tucked her long, golden hair behind her ear, a little embarrassed. "Minister Umbridge mentioned to me that she hopes I can persuade you to talk to Minister Fudge. She said the position of Director of the Department of Fantastic Creatures Control will soon become vacant, and I have a good chance."
Lockhart raised an eyebrow.
A fairy who died unjustly was appointed as the head of one of the seven divisions of the Ministry of Magic?
This is a high-ranking official, by all accounts.
"What are your thoughts?" Lockhart asked, somewhat curious.
The unjustly killed fairy shook her head. "I'm not sure. I can try to get it if you need it, but I don't really like it."
Lockhart thought for a moment, "Never mind, I'd much rather you come to Beauxbatons and become my assistant principal."
"Really?" The wronged fairy looked overjoyed.
Clearly, she preferred to stay by Lockhart's side rather than serve as an official in the Ministry of Magic.
Lockhart smiled and ruffled her hair. "I hope that in the future you can just tell me what you want. Magic power never blooms against its own will."
The fairy who died unjustly seemed to understand but not quite.
The two walked into the office, greeted the three employees, and entered the private office cubicle belonging to the unjustly killed fairy.
Although the wronged fairy still appeared quiet, one could see that she had begun to show some of the joy and vitality of a human girl.
She would chatter on and on with Lockhart, talking about her life at the Ministry of Magic, and how she also had some worries.
For example, some young people who don't know about her relationship with Lockhart will write her love letters.
"A love letter?" Lockhart's expression turned strange. "What are you going to do with it?"
The wronged fairy shook her head. "I don't know how to handle it either, so I just gave it to Minister Umbridge and asked her to help me."
"She seemed to have a knack for it; these people haven't bothered me since."
Lockhart burst into laughter. Good heavens, let Umbridge handle it. He even thought of the strict, somewhat harsh, headmaster in his school from his previous life.
Umbridge is probably even worse.
The two chatted until late at night when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the cubicle.
The fairy who had died unjustly looked up at the door. "It's a document from the Ministry of Magic knocking on the door."
Lockhart, somewhat curious, went over and opened the door, only to find a document that had automatically folded into an origami crane, pecking at the door panel.
When the door opened, it quickly twisted itself into the shape of a face and floated closer.
The mouth opened and closed, and Umbridge's voice came from within, "Mr. Lockhart, you'd better come and see for yourself, the Muggle airliner incident has somehow involved goblins!"
In the history of wizarding events, fairies are a sensitive word.
This creature will always kneel on the ground devoutly and offer everything in surrender when it is defeated.
But when human wizards decide to embrace them, they display hostility towards the wizards.
In Grindelwald's words—these are an ungrateful bunch of wolf cubs.
In the history of magic, Muggle witch hunts and goblin rebellions are often considered equally important events.
But sometimes, as Voldemort said, in the magical world, the better something is, the more dangerous it is.
When choosing magical creatures to guard treasures and wealth, fairies, who possess intelligence and can communicate, are undoubtedly better than gargoyles, Cerberus, Sphinx, and the like.
So the wizards, while vigilantly restricting the goblins' access to their wands, also handed over the Gringotts Wizarding Bank to the goblins.
This is dangerous, but it's more dangerous to entrust the bank to wizards than to fairies.
Pure-blood families do not trust other wizards to dutifully safeguard their family wealth.
Too many examples of tests of human nature tell us that human nature cannot be tested.
soon.
Lockhart then returned to the courtroom on the tenth underground floor, where there were more and more people.
Many Aurors hurried down the corridor, bringing bad news and worse.
Fairy————
The Purgers —
Muggle Kingdom —
With the decentralization of magical warfare regulations, the Aurors were able to use some of the magic that was normally restricted, and they quickly became more efficient, and clues about the Muggle passenger plane incident were also quickly found.
Then everyone realized that it involved too much and too wide a range of issues!
There are even Muggle countries secretly supporting this!
"The three Baltic states?" Fudge roared from the stage. "Where did these countries come from? I've never heard of them before! Who are their Ministers of Magic?! I demand an explanation from them!"
Nobody paid any attention.
Of course, at this point, no one could afford to underestimate Fudge. The key point was that no one really knew who the Minister of Magic of these three little pudding countries was.
"Cough cough~"
Dumbledore interrupted Fudge's rant with a light cough, his expression somewhat strange. "In fact, none of these three countries have a Ministry of Magic."
Fudge wanted to ask more, but seeing Dumbledore's look, he chose to keep quiet.
This is actually the biggest drawback of the "International Confederation of Wizards - Ministry of Magic" power framework - they divide their jurisdiction according to the boundaries of the Muggle kingdom.
This initially yielded good results in cooperating with the Muggle Nation to implement the Secrets Act.
However, the drawbacks became increasingly severe over time.
The biggest problem is that the Muggle kingdom changes.
But the proud wizards were not willing to change along with the changes in the Muggle kingdom.
Moreover, the wizard population is relatively small compared to Muggles, and the instability of some wizarding countries has no impact on them at all.
"I wish I could destroy these three countries!"
Fudge really has that kind of power. Don't underestimate the Minister of Magic, especially the British Minister of Magic.
Needless to say, simply sending out the Dementors, the jailers of Azkaban, would quickly turn those three small countries into a living hell. Most terrifyingly, Muggles wouldn't even be able to see the Dementors, let alone find their enemies, let alone mount any resistance.
Fudge angrily uttered some harsh words, but then, under Dumbledore's increasingly sharp gaze, he sheepishly swallowed them back.
Is it acceptable for the Minister of Magic to lead the way in violating the Secrets Act?
Leaving aside how foolish it is to exacerbate the conflict between Muggles and wizards, even escalating the current "Muggle passenger plane incident" is a terrible approach.
simply put.
The Muggle kingdom needs to deal with this, but it must be done quietly.
Whether it's the standard procedure of using the "forgetfulness spell," sending the king's wizard secretary, or other methods that can't be reported in the media, all of these can effectively solve this problem.
In any case, these three Muggle nations should prepare to face their wrath in private.
The fairies must also be dealt with, and in a grand and spectacular way.
Even Dumbledore sometimes had to do things that incited conflict and exacerbated tribal tensions, in order to intimidate other goblins, magical creatures, and humanoid beings.
Those who were purged also need to be dealt with, but they have their own historical value, so it has to be done slowly.
Because wizards in the current era are exploring ways to get along with Muggles, the Purifiers are a more sensitive topic than goblins; they are a source of conflict, but also a medium for some kind of integration.
so----
Just as Grindelwald complained, what seemed like an increasingly big problem was mitigated by Dumbledore to the point that it seemed to have no impact at all.
Oh~
Still there.
"Given the overwhelming number of Muggles from all over the world present at Weasel Hill (the venue for this year's Quidditch World Cup), the Quidditch World Cup has been cancelled!"
Dumbledore made the decision on behalf of the International Federation of Wizards.
Many fans who were looking forward to the World Cup were lamenting, and many staff members of the British Ministry of Magic were also disappointed. They had been working hard for the event for a long time, but it was canceled.
Fudge banged on the table, drawing attention away from Dumbledore and onto himself. "What else can we do but cancel?"
All you people do is complain; you don't offer any effective or feasible solutions!
"Change the location? (Someone shouted from below) It's not that easy!"
"The event is just around the corner, and there's simply no time to find another venue. Besides, the current situation is so complicated; who will take responsibility if something goes wrong? You? Or you?"
But these words won't solve the problem.
Fudge reassured them, "Although the Quidditch World Cup is suspended, the Triwizard Tournament, which has been suspended for many years, is about to start again. You can go watch that!"
This can only be considered a consolation prize. (Considering the scale of the top three championship tournament)
Wizards from other non-European countries, in particular, disliked the student competitions held by the three European schools.
But that's the decision.
The decisions of the bigwigs are final; there's no room for negotiation.
Lockhart left the room again.
He sought out the fairy who had been unjustly killed, and together they left the Ministry of Magic.
That's the advantage of not getting involved in politics; Lockhart can take her family on a trip without any psychological burden.
The holiday is here, and he has been busy with too many things. It's time to slow down his hurried pace.
