Chapter 316 Percy's Ambition
'This time you are on the front page...'
Percy was in his room, looking at the photos in the Daily Prophet, and couldn't help but laugh.
He talked to Andrew about his ambition - he aimed at the Ministry of Magic, and it never changed.
But that boy Andrew was pretending to be stupid with him at that time. It was probably because Andrew felt that the relationship between the two of them was not deep enough - he was really a cautious guy.
But that guy was really not a bad person, and even that conversation started with that pile of Galleons that looked a little tempting.
'He's on his way, but I haven't started yet...'
Percy put down the newspaper and started to have a headache - he was destined to join the Ministry of Magic.
But he did not go to the Ministry of Magic for his summer internship this holiday - he was studying for his grades at home.
The Ministry of Magic has never had a shortage of summer interns, but if one has the first overall score every year, then they can naturally work in the Ministry of Magic.
The first one is privileged. You will not start as a handyman student, but you can choose to become an intern in a large office with excellent results.
Internship, become an assistant, and then be retained and officially become a member of a certain faction - this is what the school books say, and this is what the information he can obtain is also like this.
The competition for popular offices is the fiercest. Before the summer vacation, he began to collect information about officials from the Ministry of Magic - this was not difficult for him.
He has almost chosen his target - Mr. Barty Crouch's assistant.
Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, Mr. Barty Crouch.
The loser in the ministerial competition, the former minister of the Department of Law Enforcement, the man who led the Aurors to win that war, and now a frustrated man.
Leng Zao among Leng Zao, as a competitor for the Minister of Magic, almost no one goes to his side, but this does not affect him at all as a powerful person, whether before or now.
The Aurors were grateful to Mr. Barty and passed on this sentiment when training the next generation of Aurors. If he had been in the past, he would definitely have suffered from difficulties from both sides.
Whether it is the difficulty caused by his immediate boss or the cold reception from the Minister of Magic's faction, it is normal - but after surviving it, as an assistant, he will partially inherit Mr. Barty's influence and gain pride. Luo's natural support.
The minister at that time may have also been replaced. Whether it is promotion or subsequent advancement, the negative impact brought by Mr. Bhatti will dissipate and become a boost.
He was confident of getting through the time ahead - he believed in his ability, just like he and Penelo had boasted.
After all, he is a poor boy with no foundation. If he doesn't burn the cold stove, where can he get the support to start?
How can a poor boy like him become the Minister of Magic if he doesn't even have the slightest foundation?
‘But I’m afraid there’s going to be some trouble with Dad, and I have to talk to him...’
Percy sighed - this is a difficult task.
As for his mother...
Percy thought about the Lockhart book and shook his head. He couldn't explain it clearly.
'On Andrew's side, you can listen to his opinion. He may have a different opinion...'
'Forget it, Owl is not safe, let's wait until we go to the school for an interview. , but I need to prepare a gift. It seems his birthday is coming. ’

"The reward is worth the effort. Minister Fudge is really rich."
In the office, Andrew looked at the Daily Prophet and put it down with a smile.
He completed the reception work perfectly for Professor McGonagall on this business trip - there is no need to look at anything else. The large subsidy promised by the Ministry of Magic is the best explanation. What more bikes do you want?
Although the money has nothing to do with him and he wants to work on Professor Alice's project, he is not crazy. What is he doing with the money there?
‘It’s great that I can learn my body transformation technique with peace of mind next semester. '
He picked up his lemon tea, took a big sip, and started to work happily - today he needs to process the replies confirming his enrollment bit by bit. It's not a big problem, it just needs to be entered into the file. good.
'However, the response rate this year is higher than in previous years - it seems that Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have poached a lot fewer students. Also, the development at the end of the last school year was huge. It's...'
'No, what am I happy about? Most of the new recruits are Slytherin students, and Professor Snape won't give me any points, so what am I happy about? ’
Andrew muttered while putting the letter away.
'That is to say, no one checked, otherwise it would be spread out that half of the admission notice is Professor McGonagall's name signed by me - it doesn't seem to be a big problem, the notice recognized by the school is genuine...'
< br>After processing the last receipt letter, Andrew compared the list.
'The Muggle-born ones haven't been sent out yet. It's almost my birthday... But this kind of thing can only be dealt with when the professor comes back. After all, not all professors can communicate normally with the Muggle world. of ability. '
He prepared the letter, and then used owl magic to confirm the location as usual - people who are often wanted by the Ministry of Magic know that this thing can be tracked without making a sound, and it must be done before becoming a fugitive. Block your name first.
‘I’ve finished my work today and went to the library to learn spells! ’
——
“He is actually the Minister of Magic!”
Professor Nina is still a little unbelievable today - when she was an adventurer, the name of the Minister of Magic was something everyone would brag about. Will not be mentioned.
Of course, the two Ministers of Magic are different.
"Otherwise, please keep quiet, professor, this is the library."
Andrew raised his head and looked at Nina.
Can you learn from Sirius? I wasn’t surprised yesterday, but you haven’t calmed down today, new professor!
"Don't be so old-fashioned. Young people should look like young people. It's normal for Professor Black to be calm. You should be younger."
Why is it normal for him to be calm!
This is the first time I heard that Gryffindor deserves the word calm!
Do you have any misunderstanding about the situation at Hogwarts? Sirius has not been calm since he came out of Azkaban. He thinks the minister is not excited because his family background is too strong!
"Ah, good morning, Andrew."
Sirius suddenly penetrated, but for some reason, Andrew felt that he was pretending to be calm, but he was not sure.
"Good morning, Sirius, do you want to read so much today?"
"Of course, I have ambitions - for example, to be the best history of magic professor or something. ”
Sirius looked proud.
He likes this kind of life very much - being needed and being commanded.
Looking at the sunlight hitting the table, he chose the position closest to the sunlight, and then lay down on the table regardless of his appearance.
How nice...Hogwarts.
