Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"I want to, too." Dumbledore sighed and said. For some reason, he suddenly lost interest in continuing to pimp, and found a stool next to Bathilda Bagshot to sit down. "But Tiera is not a pimp. Gellert, he doesn’t even look like Gellert.”

"Alas" Mrs. Bathilda Bagshot sighed softly, and then slowly looked around -

"Today, the atmosphere today is a bit off." Bathilda Bagshot said, "The expressions on many people's faces don't look like they are here to participate in the celebration."

"Yes," Dumbledore replied, "They are indeed not here to attend the inauguration."

"Then why do they write all their thoughts on their faces?" Mrs. Bathilda Bagshot asked again.

"Not everyone is as old as us, Aunt Bagshot." Dumbledore explained patiently, "Not everyone can tell the difference between a smile that comes from the heart and a fake smile that's just for fun."

"So Little Tiera, does Little Tiera know?" Bathilda Bagshot asked.

"Of course he knows," Dumbledore said, "but he happens to want this to happen... He is already powerful enough, powerful enough to completely ignore any conspiracy."

"..." Mrs. Bathilda Bagshot opened her mouth, just about to say something——

"My colleagues! My compatriots! Welcome!" A powerful voice suddenly appeared, filling every corner of the venue with the help of magic amplification equipment, causing everyone to stop talking in unison. Or put down what you are doing and set your sights ahead——

He looked towards the podium at the end of the banquet hall.

In the center of the podium, Cornelius Fudge was wearing a decent dark blue suit, looking at the people in the audience with a red face.

Behind Cornelius Fudge, a little further behind the rostrum, there was a row of seats filled with men, women, old and young, and all kinds of wizards and witches.

Sitting on the far left of all seats is Salazar Slytherin, who is wearing a pair of sunglasses. A little further to the right, there are a few empty seats. On the backs of the seats are written "Mr. Nick Flamel, Master of Alchemy" and " Master of Alchemy Ms. Wu Pei-yong", "Historian of Magic Ms. Bathilda Bagshot" and "Mr. Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts".

Obviously, as the most important day in the history of the British wizarding world, and in order to add legitimacy to his rule, Cornelius Fudge, on Tiera's suggestion, also sent invitations to these powerful figures in the wizarding world, and in Seats were reserved for them on the rostrum.

But for some unknown reason, Nicolas Flamel and Wu Peirong did not appear at the scene. Although Dumbledore and Bathilda Bagshot appeared at the scene, they did not sit on the rostrum as invited in the invitation letter. I just found a seat in the middle of the venue and sat down.

A little further to the right is Chief Thunderbird and former President of the Magical Federation of America, Ms. Seraphina Pickcore.

Since Cornelius Fudge's experience in becoming the leader was not very glorious, and could even be said to be a farce, although the ministries of magic and magical institutions outside the UK quickly sent congratulations, they did not want to express their stance prematurely, so On this official occasion, the American Magical Federation, the French Ministry of Magic, the German Ministry of Magic, the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic, the Australian Ministry of Magic, the North African Magical Federation, the South African Magical Union, the East Asian Magical Co-Prosperity Society, and the Russian Magical Secret Society did not send their own Officials attend the inauguration of Cornelius Fudge.

The American Magical Federation sent their former president, Ms. Serafina Pickcore, and Chief Thunderbird, who was originally in the UK.

The French Ministry of Magic originally wanted to contact Nicoléme's representative to attend the meeting, but for some unknown reason, Nicoléme refused to attend the inauguration ceremony, so the French Ministry of Magic had to send the former Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the French Ministry of Magic. Aristemanis Ziberuku attends the inauguration of Cornelius Fudge.

The same situation exists in other Ministry of Magic departments, which dispatch former officials who have retired or new officials who have not officially joined the staff.

Tiera and Cornelius Fudge are completely aware of this situation and don't care much about it.

Just like Tiera said before, absolute power can bring absolute power.

The Ministry of Magic outside the UK only knows Tiera as a "genius little wizard who used special means to avoid death", so until Tiera shows enough strength to scare them, they will not easily Express your stance, let alone take sides easily——

After all, no one can say how long this "Cornelly Fudge-Tiera coalition government" will last.

This is why they sent wizards who have sufficient weight in the wizarding circles of various countries but do not represent the official attitude of the Ministry of Magic to attend the inauguration of Cornelius Fudge today.

Although they did not receive accurate information, judging from the vicious vision they have developed after years of working together in the political circles, today's inauguration ceremony may not go so smoothly.

They also want to know how the Cornelius Fudge-Tiera coalition government will respond to the situation.

Both Tiera and Cornelius Fudge can completely understand this situation. If he were in the position of those foreign colleagues, he would also choose to throw out an ambiguous attitude first, and then watch the show closely.

But the only thing that Tiera didn't understand was the attitude of the Chinese Ministry of Magic, or rather, the Chinese Folklore and Religious Association——

They didn't send anyone.

The Chinese Folklore and Religious Association did not even respond to Tiela’s invitation.

In order to show her humility, Tiera sat on the lower seat on the far right.

"My colleagues, my compatriots." Cornelius Fudge stood on the podium and preached excitedly into the magic microphone. "I am happy to welcome you. I welcome you to stand here and stand with me." Under one roof, witness this great moment——"

It has to be said that although Cornelius Fudge has no talent in magic, he is indeed a politician who is rewarded by God.

Obviously he knew very clearly that there were a large number of old nobles in the Ministry of Magic who opposed him, and Tiera only regarded him as a tool, but at this time, his expression, eyes, and movements during his speech revealed an incomparable feeling. Confidence and rendering power——

It's as if this inauguration now is really the great beginning of a new era.

Tiera, who was sitting at the end of the guest seat in the back row, smiled faintly——

In his perception, Voldemort has arrived near Hogwarts, and has made contact with Snape who is staying inside Hogwarts through the Mark of the Dark Lord. I believe that soon, Snape will follow the instructions Dumbledore had given him the night before. As Lido told him, he brought Voldemort into Hogwarts.

And here——

Tiera looked up at the bustling crowd below the stage.

The show is about to begin.
