A Will Eternal Chapter 293
While the Hogwarts students were enjoying a not-so-difficult express time, the professors of the college were greeting each other and exchanging information.
Among them, there is naturally Kane.
Dumbledore, who has money, naturally does not want Hogwarts to change his surname to Shafik, so the newly formed school board has 33% of the shares, which belong to the school itself. The principal is the legal representative. If voting is required, It is jointly decided by the principal and professors, and the Ministry of Magic has the right to supervise.
The remaining 64% are held by social people, basically ancient wizard families.
Of course, this doesn't mean that half-bloods and Muggles don't have money. Second, as a school for wizards, its school directors must have sufficient influence in the wizarding world.
The Black family with a long history was replaced by the newly emerging Shafik family, and the other three were deprived of power because they were found to have an affair with the Death Eaters.
The final pattern is that the Shafiq family occupies 24% of the shares, the remaining 40% neutral camp holds 17%, the white camp holds 11%, and the black camp holds 12%.
The white camp, such as the Longbottom family with withered members but not short of money.
The black camp is more representative of the Malfoy family.
If you don't grasp the definite handle, it means that it didn't happen. Although the Menzoberranzan rules are no longer as popular as they used to be in the wizarding world, they still exist. After all, it is a problem that has accumulated over the years, and unless it is a revolutionary revolution that changes the world and cleans up the land, there is no way to eradicate it all at once.
Kane had no problem with that.
A lot has happened in the past year.
To use a joking saying: The protagonist grows up too fast, and the power group that used to need to explode to win has become a local chicken and a dog.
Especially after knowing who the big enemies are, the plan to turn the wizards into invisible coolies and comb through the dark dimension to obtain magic power has become too inefficient.
One of the important reasons is that once this kind of thing is actively operated, it will be done.
As a display platform, Hogwarts can be under the banner of showing love and half playing. But if it is generalized, it will definitely arouse people's vigilance.
And only if the wizards feel that it is easy to ask for their door, it will be a matter of course.
until now,
This project is still in the pilot stage, and it has been promoted by word of mouth from users, which has aroused the interest of many people, but most of them are waiting to see. An important point is that there is no pressing need.
Although many wizards have smelled the imminent mountain rain, very few of them have actually taken action.
This made Kane realize that he had made a mistake in the past, and he overestimated the kinetic energy of the wizards.
You must know that wizards can be regarded as relatively typical Europeans, and looking at the rise and fall of Europeans for thousands of years, it can basically be understood as follows: from drinking blood to being reduced to big animals, and then looting broke out, taking down the glory of the banner bearer of civilization in one fell swoop, washing Go ashore in vain. In other words, another way of ransacking, referred to as shearing.
Although the really rich are the rich and powerful, ordinary people are still rich, just like Wang Sicong's dog.
The national welfare is high, and the salary is good, so food and clothing are thoughtful, free thoughts, and hedonism.
Life is just this life, and we should live in a chic and happy way. The specific definition is naturally not the one in "How the Steel Was Tempered", but to know how to enjoy yourself in time.
So Kane found that he could not blame others, because he was not European enough, and he was like a wind-up drum soldier all day long, bang bang bang! Bang, bang, bang! play struggle.
On the other hand, wizards, as poor as the Weasley family, don't they still go to Egypt for summer vacation?
Look at Dumbledore in front of him, with a lazy posture, holding a lemon snow treasure in his hand, happily inviting everyone to eat ice cream. Richer, more extravagant, a large table of ice cream of various colors was piled up, which was made by hundreds of house elves serving Hogwarts like a culinary competition at the order of Dumbledore.
He invited everyone to come this time, and actually introduced new colleagues, which turned into an afternoon tea.
Kane was quite disinterested in this kind of slow pace that took a whole afternoon to do. After a simple greeting, he found an excuse and left.
Interestingly, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Mad-Eye Alastor Moody. In Kane's eyes, this famous old lion is a war man suffering from post-war psychological syndrome.
He always appears anxious and irritable, and his catchphrase is 'stay vigilant at all times'. With his magical eyes that only have the function of seeing through and his disabled and hideous face, he successfully makes most people who come into contact with him feel more or less depressed. affected.
Kane also didn't know if the old bee brought back the same year of Voldemort because of Moody's face and so-called appeal.
It doesn't need to be good in class, just wandering in front of the wizard apprentices from time to time is enough to make the apprentices understand that "warrior will die".
Of course, it is estimated that little wizards will focus on how to protect their handsome faces in real battles.
He participated in the capture of more than half of the prisoners in Azkaban, and Moody would sniff first when eating, and only drank from the curved wine bottle he carried with him.
And it was this kind of small gesture that made Kane a little friendly to Moody. The gathering place of the Vientiane Gate in his previous life was full of mental patients like Moody who were always tense and lost their flexibility, and couldn't really relax.
But Moody doesn't like Kane very much, and the reason is money.
In the words he complained to Dumbledore in private: Shafik has made the wizarding world as full of copper stench as the mortal world, and the glory of justice has also changed its taste.
What he said was, of course, Shafik's bounty-style method of arresting Grindelwald and others.
Grindelwald and his party were forced to go to heaven and earth, and were brought to justice before they caused harm. Moody couldn't say that this was wrong.
But this "money power" capture method, after being demonstrated by the Shafik family, has gradually been popularized by the Ministry of Magic of various countries in the wizarding world. There are also more and more wizards who make a career out of this and become bounty hunters.
In this situation, Moody, who has a heroic plot of "the biggest motivation for us to go through life and death is not money, but for justice to be done", is very disappointed, and he feels that it is a very honorable behavior that has been desecrated.
A little bit, it depends on Kane's various displeasures.
Kane also felt it, and he felt that this might be another reason why Dumbledore asked Moody to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
There are always some people in this world who cannot be moved by material desires and cannot be bought by money, and Moody is one of them.
There is a difference between not loving money and not loving enjoyment. Like Professor Minerva McGonagall, she cannot be bribed because of her personal character, professional ethics and emotional components, but in fact Professor McGonagall pays great attention to the details of life such as dress and diet.
Of course, Professor McGonagall's taste is indeed a little old, but that is the past tense. Since that visit to Nozawa Garden with Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall has established a friendship with Catherine Shafik. Later, he met his aunt Pandora through Catherine.
Pandora brought contemporary popular culture and elements into the women's circle, so Professor McGonagall's taste has obviously been adjusted. From the color to the style of the dress, it is more down-to-earth.
In fact, money, or desire for material things, is rapidly changing the relatively conservative British wizarding world. Even the "Supreme Pravda", founded by the Magical Congress of America, published a commentary article "Magic Eyes Let British Wizards Open Their Eyes to See the World and Quickly Connect with the World——On the Shafik Family's Contribution to the British Wizarding World" contribute".
Of course, there is more than one article that indirectly flatters the Shafiq family. Especially when the sale of black hemp cultivation is expected to be more popular, and the money-making projects launched by Shafiq are lined up.
Although the Shafiq family is already very rich and everyone makes money, but no one likes this kind of thing too much, right? And the Magic Congress of America is not just looking at money. They hope that after Shafik settles in America, he can clean up the smoggy America like he did with the extraordinary order in Britain.
In order to achieve this goal, the American wizards have already mobilized the rulers of the mortal world and made many preparations.
If the Shafiq family is not interested in changing their nationality, they can play the Hollywood model. Many British actors have become famous after going to Hollywood, and Hollywood's ability to accept the "British style" is not bad.
If this model of going to the cousin’s house to develop doesn’t work, then the Americans will prepare another way, similar to the ‘sister cities’, honorary citizens, etc. that have begun to play in this era.
The perseverance of the Americans has further boosted the status of the Shafiq family, and the Shafiq family has indeed shown their faces one after another.
Like the opening of the gates of hell in Paris and the capture of living corpses in the UK, it takes time to ferment, and the damage is deeper than that. No one can deny that the Shafik family has indeed made British wizards look good in the world.
Up to now, British wizards, who are more conservative and staid than their compatriots in the mortal world, still make a few sour words about "upstarts" from time to time, but in front of international friends, they are very used to Shafie. The Ke family is also included in the menu of the British show, which is the kind of reserved, casual, and calm description.
Under such a background, the prestige and good name of His Excellency the White Wizard can no longer compete with him. This made Dumbledore feel a little bit more powerless.
He wasn't jealous of Shafiq, but he felt that this kind of situation with a big tail that no one could cure was very bad.
"It's only been a few years, and everything has been washed beyond recognition..." Dumbledore sighed in an old-fashioned way, looking at Kane's back.
Then she squinted at Professor McGonagall. As usual, Professor McGonagall explained the 'Kane-style' coldness to the two new professors, so that they could understand that Kane's exit was not malicious.
Dumbledore understands Professor McGonagall's expression of love very well. He will not be unhappy because Professor McGonagall speaks for Kane. On the contrary, it is this kind of behavior that reflects Professor McGonagall's noble character.
However, it is precisely because of this nobility that Professor McGonagall can only be a vice-principal.
"Minerva is only positive, but lacks the means of strangeness." Sighing inwardly, Dumbledore turned to Snape with a scrutinizing gaze.
Originally, at Hogwarts, Snape originally played the cold character.
However, since the Great Lakes time last year, Snape has been severely stimulated, and he doesn't even pay much attention to his beloved potion research.
After Hogwarts' phased restoration project started, Snape was the most active one, because it gave him access to a large number of ancient magic circles deconstructed by Kane from Hogwarts. Snape seemed to firmly believe that what he needed The power is there.
Recently, Snape has fallen into another bad state, often absent-minded.
The reason, Snape didn't hide it from him, Voldemort, no one in this world could make Snape care so much.
In other words, what Snape cared about most was always Lily Evans Potter. Because Voldemort killed Lily, he became the living person and enemy Snape cared about most.
Dumbledore clearly remembered the conversation between the two for more than half a month.
Snape said: "Voldemort is back and stronger than ever. I can feel that he is changing the meaning of the Dark Mark to make it more effective."
In order to confirm, he relied on his relationship to find other Death Eaters to conduct experiments with the Ministry of Magic (not daring to operate on Snape to avoid accidents), and the results were indeed not optimistic.
The Dark Mark is becoming true to its name. It makes the owner of the mark a hands-free mobile phone. As long as someone in the area mentions 'Voldemort' or 'Tom? Riddle', it is equivalent to pressing the dial button. If Voldemort has If you are interested, you can eavesdrop on the conversation.
In addition, Voldemort also gave the Dark Mark more effects, such as the bestowal of unholy powers.
No doubt, this raised concerns among many people, including him. To this end, they also consulted Kane Shafik.
And Kane Shafik, as always, is frank and well-founded. Through some videos, he explained his actions against the dawn of the gods, and Voldemort lobbied Sutton, and pulled him to another world through time and space traps.
Kane said at the time: "Nothing is created out of nothing, and Parseltongue did not appear out of thin air. It may be disrespectful to speculate that Salazar Slytherin may be disrespectful, but it is basically confirmed that his descendant Voldemort has a connection with the snake father Ego. If Voldemort's resurrection is Ego Ge's handwriting, then Voldemort probably possessed a certain degree of divinity, this kind of divine ability allows Voldemort to better understand the knowledge of evil gods, coupled with enough magic power, it is equal to the ability to make waves."
Indeed, Voldemort has no intention of letting go of the classic school day...
