I wield a sword at Hogwarts

Old Barty muttered: "Dumbledore may be worried about the wizarding world."

"No, no, no," John stood up and walked towards Old Barty and put the book into his palm. "If Dumbledore cared about the wizarding world, he would not choose Fudge. What he cares about is himself. He doesn't like being the Minister of Magic. But he is willing to let the Minister of Magic listen to him."

The voice was like a devil's whisper, and Old Barty couldn't help but recall some of it.

"Fudge has a weak personality. Do you remember Lucius? What was the outcome of his complaint against Dumbledore?"

Old Batty grabbed the book's hand and quickly strengthened it.

Lucius complained about Dumbledore and was kicked out of the Student Council.

Although he later regained his position with the help of Johnny Silverhand, there was only an empty shell left.

All the power that should belong to the Malfoy family disappeared.

"Dumbledore likes to use self-righteous justice to restrain others." John patted Old Barty on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Think about Dumbledore's bad behavior over the years. Every time he brought danger to the school, maybe He is not suitable for the position of principal."

Old Batty said subconsciously: "Yeah, he's terrible."

After reacting, Old Batty was a little surprised.

How could I have such an idea?

He was also a little stunned when he thought about the day he wanted Dumbledore to choose a new minister.

Yes, Dumbledore was so superior that he even asked him about the position of the Minister of Magic.

Even Amelia didn't find anything wrong with this matter. A person who was not an official of the Ministry of Magic could decide the position of the Minister of Magic at will.

If one day I take the position of Minister of Magic, will I be pulled down because of Dumbledore's words?

Old Barty looked ugly. Apparently, he also realized that Dumbledore's prestige was too great now.

"You are right," Old Barty looked at John and said awkwardly, "But Sir, I cannot allow Dumbledore to take care of himself in old age."

The corners of the mouth under the silver mask rose, and John looked at the book meaningfully, "You are qualified now."

Old Barty opened the book hesitantly. He thought it would be a treasure that would allow him to put some distance between himself and Amelia.

But when he saw what was inside, he was shocked.

There is no distance between him and me. He is simply being escorted out.

The Death Eaters were imprisoned in books like photos. These people were all chips.

"Don't let the news about Voldemort out yet." John said to Old Barty, "After you become the Minister, you can reorganize the Ministry of Magic."

Regarding the news about Voldemort, Old Barty wrote to Johnny Silverhand as soon as he came out of school, so he had no doubts.

"Voldemort is back, Dumbledore saw it with his own eyes."

Unlike Fudge, old Barty believed the news even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, because Dumbledore wouldn't joke about it.

He said solemnly: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, even if you have a grudge against Dumbledore, this is not a good time."

He could see that Johnny Silverhand seemed to be intending to take action against Dumbledore, but in the face of serious matters of right and wrong, he could not make fun of the wizarding world.

John shook his head and sneered: "Old Barty, do you think this is a good thing for you?

Think about it, if you do what Dumbledore wants and announce Voldemort's return, what will Dumbledore's reputation be like? "

John continued, "People will think of Dumbledore who once fought against two Dark Lords. When the time comes, if you don't listen to him and become a puppet, the people will not be willing."

Old Batty's face darkened, he didn't want to become a puppet.

John's next words were to put an end to his worries about facing Voldemort.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore is a self-proclaimed righteous person. Even if no one helps, he will gather a group of forces to fight against Voldemort to the end. We just need to grasp the middle level."

Aren't you righteous?

OK, you go deal with Voldemort.

A trace of anger flashed in John's eyes.

Old Barty understood that this meant letting Dumbledore and Voldemort fight. The Ministry of Magic could just use this time to rectify the weak Ministry of Magic.

His eyes lit up. Compared to making Dumbledore stronger, this method was undoubtedly the best.

When the two kings fight, the Ministry of Magic's status will become higher.

Plus, with the help of Johnny Silverhand, the man known as the second king after Dumbledore, there would be someone to cover up even if something went wrong.

Old Batty agreed.

During this holiday, if nothing happens, he can become the Minister of Magic.

John asked Rita to do a report for him, and at the same time began to do a "good" report for Dumbledore.

There is no need to add more polish, just let everyone know that Dumbledore found a Death Eater as a professor in the first grade, a werewolf in the third grade, and asked the professor to demonstrate the Unforgivable Curse in the fourth grade.

He also found top-notch Lockhart to cooperate in publicity.

On the surface, if you want money, give money, and if you want people, give people.

Secretly, Death Eaters were eliminated by various means, officials at all levels also appeared at the banquet, and even the Auror Office was secretly helping.

Although Amelia was excellent, she lost the opportunity.

Barty Sr.'s reputation continued to grow.

a week later.

John began to prepare for the next step.

About the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts, and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Hogwarts is very important. It is an important place for educating wizards across the country, and it is also the alma mater of all those in power.

Monopoly education gives it an irreplaceable status, and even the Minister of Magic does not dare to go too far.

The position of headmaster is very important, not just replacing Dumbledore.

He thought of a person who was originally the most suitable person, but unfortunately, he is no longer suitable.

There is also the matter of dealing with Horcruxes. He has an idea to make a Horcrux tracker by connecting the Horcruxes.

Use the tracker to find out where other Horcruxes are.

It's been a while since I got the gold locket back, and John hasn't paid much attention to it yet.

When he was about to take it out and take a look, an unexpected person came to the door.

Severus Snape.

I don't know what kind of mood Snape had when he walked into Silverhand Manor.

John was watching him from the window with interest.

The candidate for headmaster who flashed through his mind just now was Snape.

But it's a pity that this person is destined not to be able to stand with him. He already gave the answer in the third grade.

How interesting it would be if he knew he was going to take down Dumbledore.

John was not sure whether Dumbledore had told Snape his identity. After all, Snape was the person Dumbledore trusted the most.

Anyway, John decided to meet him.

My own dean, I once wanted to recruit him, but was rejected.

Now Snape came to find him.

The change of identity is really wonderful, isn't it?

…

Chapter 256 He is not qualified to give a cold look

Snape is a good disguiser.

This was guaranteed by his experience of being an undercover agent next to Voldemort.

At the same time, he is also an extremely talented person.

His Occlumency is at least level 6, and even Voldemort cannot detect his thoughts. He is the most promising person among the four deans.

Snape is a master who likes to create his own magic. He has many kinds of magic creations, such as the upside-down golden clock that John will use, which was created by Snape.

He is also a Potions Master.

In terms of talent alone, Snape is definitely the strongest person behind Dumbledore and Voldemort.

If you have enough time, you may not be able to grow into the next pillar.

The kind that has no opponents. During school, even Harry, his father and Sirius Black had to work together to bully Snape.

It can be seen from here that if the four of them hadn't been hanging out together all day, Snape would have been able to find them one by one and defeat them all.

Unfortunately, Snape didn't have time to grow up.

His time began to count down on the day Voldemort was successfully resurrected.

He is now a pawn that may be abandoned at any time, waiting for Voldemort's call to continue lurking until he is discovered.

Snape had no complaints about this.

He was no longer whole the day his loved one died.

It was Dumbledore who allowed him to live and protect those eyes that were similar to Lily's.

"Johnny Silverhand." Snape said the name silently in his mind.

Known as the second king under Dumbledore, Dumbledore also maintains a somewhat vague attitude towards him.

This confused Snape.

Dumbledore's preparations had already begun. He sent Hagrid to the giants' territory to win over the giants.

At the same time, other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest are also targets of wooing.

He knew that if these beings failed to win over, they would soon become Voldemort's helpers.

As for wizards, there are some unstable factors and they also need to be contacted.

Among them, Johnny Silverhand is definitely the biggest unstable factor.

Johnny Silverhand's influence extends abroad and he has many followers.

Snape even knew a piece of bombshell news: the Star Disciples who emerged to hunt Death Eaters were Johnny Silverhand's men.

This means there is a possibility of cooperation between them.

Because they have a common enemy.

At least that's what Snape thought.

He was brought into Silverhand Manor, a once ancient pure-blood manor that changed its doors with the new King of Knockturn Alley.

Being a gifted wizard, Snape noticed that the place was bewitched.

When he saw Johnny Silverhand, he was completely different from what he had seen in the Triwizard Tournament.

This made Snape's heart sink.

Tang Mi closed the door and left knowingly.

There were only two people left in the study.

"Lord Johnny Silverhand." Snape came here with a tentative heart.

His current identity is very vague. He is the dean of Slytherin, an undercover agent of Voldemort, and an undercover agent of Dumbledore.

He didn't know why Johnny Silverhand was hostile to the Death Eaters. What if this was just a conspiracy by Voldemort?

With Voldemort's character, he might be willing to sacrifice the lives of some Death Eaters to paralyze the enemy in order to join forces.

Snape thought that Voldemort would contact him as soon as possible so that he could understand Voldemort's plan.

But Voldemort disappeared, and not even the news came out.

Voldemort is more terrifying when he is hiding, so he needs to be more cautious.

"Severus…Snape?"
