Chapter 883 Completed Mission and Secret Keeper

"You're amazing, Ivan. I knew you could do it." Hermione walked forward excitedly and gave Ivan a big hug. She was as excited as if she had passed the exam. .

"As the first student to graduate from Hogwarts, you will definitely go down in history. I didn't expect that we would graduate together this year..." George and Fred also said with smiles.

Ivan hugged Hermione first, then looked at the Weasley brothers and asked. "Have you ever thought about what you will do after graduation?"

"Of course we will continue to operate the Joke Toy Store. We have even rented the shop. It will be officially opened in the busiest area of ​​Knockturn Alley in a few days!" George said happily.

After several years of hard work, they finally got Mrs. Weasley's approval and could conduct research openly or sell joke toys.

But the premise is that they don't fail the N.E.W.T. exam this time, otherwise they will definitely get scolded.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance." Ivan said with a smile, putting aside those thoughts in his heart.

Previously, considering that George and Fred were talented in developing alchemical items, he had planned to let them participate in the research on the enchantment of Muggle technology items, but now it seems that he has forgotten it.

There should be a large number of wizards who are proficient in alchemy in the Department of Mysteries. There is really no need for George and Fred to abandon their favorite careers.

"What about you, Ivan? Do you plan to enter the Ministry of Magic after graduation?" Fred asked curiously. Although he has no interest in politics, he can see from this graduation exam that there are many big figures in the magic world. They are all very optimistic about Ivan, and even the Daily Prophet praises him every day.

If he is willing to enter politics, Fred even thinks that Ivan can break the record again and become the Minister of Magic before the age of twenty-five.

"No, the position in the Ministry of Magic is not suitable for me. I should go back to Hogwarts to teach." Ivan shook his head and said.

For powerful wizards like them, the position of Minister of Magic is not that important.

Heavy government affairs and complex political struggles will consume a lot of precious time. The best choice is to stay behind the scenes and remotely control the Minister of Magic like now. Therefore, even in the original time and space, Voldemort, who controlled England, would not be rare for this position.

After all, wizards, unlike Muggles, do not need to rely on groups to gain strength to stabilize their position.

If one day he really needs to stand in front of the stage, there will be no trouble. The position of Hogwarts Principal is actually no different from that of the Minister of Education. He only needs to accumulate a high enough reputation and be recognized by most people, and he can be directly parachuted in. There is nothing wrong with being the Minister of Magic, and Dumbledore is the best example...

"That's such a pity. If you became minister, wouldn't we be able to run sideways in the magical world?" George joked with a hint of regret.

Ivan was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that this was what they had in mind. Just when he was about to say something, the system prompt in his mind rang.

[Mission: The Rise of the Dark Lord (Completed)

Mission goal: Rule the British magical world

Mission progress: 100%

Legend value: 4

...]

Seeing this prompt, Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

In fact, after Voldemort's death, the progress of the task of ruling Britain soared to 99%, only missing the last 1%.

He was wondering before, but he didn't expect that he would be suddenly reminded that the task was completed.

Ivan thought for a while and felt that something must have happened just now. The system has not made any mistakes so far.

Could it be that Grindelwald couldn't withstand the backlash of dark magic and died suddenly on the spot?

Of course, it is also possible that the escaped Death Eaters have been captured and brought to justice today...

In comparison, he believed it was the latter, because it was unrealistic to expect Grindelwald to die suddenly on his own.

"What's wrong? Ivan?" George and Fred asked involuntarily when they saw that Ivan remained silent and looked dazed.

"It's nothing. I just saw Minister Pierce looking for me. I have to go there first." Ivan lied with a thought in his mind.

"Then go quickly. The Ministry of Magic is probably going to give you an award or something." Hermione urged.

Ivan nodded, and after conveying a message to Pierce through the magic mark, he walked out of the foyer and walked towards a remote part of the castle.

Pierce, who was chatting with a few old friends, immediately paused, hurriedly said goodbye to Richard Gorshak and others, and followed them in stride.

"Mr. Hals, you suddenly called me over. Do you have any important instructions?" Pierce looked around and saw no one around, so he said with an anxious expression.

He even wondered if he had not properly arranged today's examination process and the atmosphere was not warm enough, which caused the other party's displeasure.

"You have done very well recently, Pierce... You should have caught all the escaped Death Eaters, right? Why haven't you reported this news to me?" Ivan asked casually.

Pierce's heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained. "We have captured fifteen Death Eaters, and a few werewolves have been hiding well. It was not until last night that the Aurors found their traces. I originally planned to capture all these people and then inform you."

"I hope so..." Ivan stared at Pierce for a while, but did not reveal the other person's little idea. After a brief beat, he continued to ask. "Where is the secret keeper? Have you found it?"

"After verification, the secret keeper is Peter Pettigrew!" Pierce said sadly as he wiped the cold sweat from his head. "The mysterious man transformed him into a half-human, half-inferi monster, then erased his memory and buried him underground... Based on the clues provided by Snape, the Aurors spent several days digging him up. Come out."

"No wonder..." Ivan murmured to himself.

He underestimated Voldemort's cruelty. In order to ensure that the Loyalty Curse would not be broken, he actually transformed Pettigrew into a monster that did not need to eat or breathe, and then buried it in a grave as a corpse.

If Snape hadn't gained Voldemort's trust and obtained some clues through circumspection, they might never have been able to find the location of the Secret Keeper.

But talking about Pettigrew, Peter was really miserable. He had made great contributions to Voldemort through life and death, but in the end he ended up worse than death, being thrown into hell by his master Voldemort himself...
