Chapter 135 Boys Should Care About Current Affairs

"Mom, we rode the roller coaster, the pirate ship, the bumper cars, and..."

During dinner, Isabel's little mouth kept chattering, repeatedly bragging about what happened in the amusement park today.

Andy sat quietly in a chair, eating and complaining in her heart: This little thing is enough for her to brag about for a year.

What an ignorant little girl.

After Isabel had boasted enough, Kyle finally talked about business, "Helen, the Ministry of Magic will search for prohibited black magic items in a while, you deal with those at home."

"Got it." Helen responded calmly, obviously not taking the Ministry of Magic's search seriously.

"Do we still have black magic items at home?" Andy asked in surprise.

Why have I never seen it?

Helen rolled her eyes at Andy and explained: "It's not a black magic item, just some door keys for life-saving, and some trigger-type gadgets."

Andy: Isn't that enough?

Transnational door keys are originally prohibited items, and as for those trigger-type gadgets... obviously not very safe.

Andy asked: "Dad, when will the Ministry of Magic start the search?"

Kyle thought for a while, "Maybe in a month."

Andy: "..."

A month later, you know the news now?

So awesome?

Helen said disdainfully: "This is already fast. If it delays a little longer, the Ministry of Magic may not take action when you start school."

Andy: Got it!

Kyle explained: "The responsible department for the misuse of Muggle objects and the Auror Office are responsible for the action this time. Arthur mentioned it to me when I got off work today."

"Why does the Ministry of Magic do this?" Andy asked in confusion.

This kind of thing is completely thankless.

Many magic families have dark magic items. This thing is like a trap. When you go out, you can set up a few at home to effectively prevent theft at home.

In battle, some dark magic items can also work wonders.

And judging from the Ministry of Magic's actions, they obviously don't intend to investigate seriously, otherwise the news would not have come out so early.

"I heard from your aunt that this seems to be the result of a discussion between Dumbledore and Fudge."

Kyle said: "But I guess Fudge may also want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."

At the end, Kyle showed a face full of envy.

This action has nothing to do with their Department of International Magical Cooperation, and Kyle will not be able to make this money.

Andy nodded in understanding.

Those rich pure-blood families have been trying to win over Fudge. As long as Fudge reveals that "this is Dumbledore's intention", those pure-blood families will bring a lot of gold galleons to Fudge's office.

It's great to be a minister.

Andy also looked envious.

But... why did Dumbledore do this?

At Dumbledore's level, he disdains wealth and power.

Moreover, his behavior would prompt him to part ways with Fudge earlier - after all, no one wants to have an emperor above their heads.

Dumbledore may have his own purpose, but in Fudge's view, his behavior is tantamount to infringing on his ministerial power.

This will only make the gap between the two wider and wider.

Is it for Voldemort?

Andy frowned slightly.

If there is one thing that the old headmaster must do, it must be to get rid of Voldemort.

Apart from this, Andy can't think of anything else in the magic world that can make the old headmaster so troubled.

Andy sighed and thought to himself: "I don't know what troubles are waiting for me next semester."

"Why are you sighing?"

Helen said unhappily: "What does this have to do with you? Hurry up and eat."

Why is it irrelevant?

Andy always feels that the troubles in the next semester may be related to Dumbledore's actions.

"The relationship between Fudge and Dumbledore should be worse, right?" Andy asked.

Just as Helen was about to speak, Kyle said in advance: "It's normal for boys to care about current affairs. Andy is so sensitive to current affairs. Maybe he can become the Minister of Magic in the future."

After that, Kyle said to Andy: "It's almost the same! The two of them are not the same kind of people. Fudge cares a lot about his power and status."

"Dumbledore pushed Fudge to the position of minister. I don't know if he will regret it in the future." Helen complained.

When the previous minister retired, Dumbledore was the most popular candidate for the position of minister.

However, Dumbledore refused the position of minister and recommended Cornelius Fudge instead.

"You shouldn't need a team, right?" Andy asked.

Although Kyle is not a small soldier in the Ministry of Magic, he is not a big boss either. The power struggle between Fudge and Dumbledore should have nothing to do with him, right?

Kyle asked back: "If you were me, Andy, which side would you stand on?"

"Of course, Fudge's side."

Andy said without thinking: "He is now a minister, and his words are more effective than Dumbledore's. Besides, standing on Dumbledore's side, even if he wins, there is no benefit."

Think about it, how many of those who followed Dumbledore to fight Voldemort are now in high positions?

Dumbledore recruits people based on faith, without any practical benefits.

"I think so too."

Kyle said, "During the last wizard war, the Weasleys stood on Dumbledore's side. Look at them now, has Dumbledore helped them?"

With Dumbledore's prestige back then, he only needed to mention it slightly, and Mr. Weasley would have been promoted long ago.

Why did the family live in such a tight situation, and the children couldn't even afford new clothes.

"If you can see this, I don't have to worry about you being fooled by Dumbledore." Kyle said with relief.

Helen was silent.

Before she was with Kyle, she was also one of the people fooled by Dumbledore.

At that time, Helen wanted to fight the Death Eaters as soon as she graduated.

"The old headmaster is actually a good person." Andy said a fair word.

"I didn't say he was bad." Kyle nodded.

"But this kind of person should be watched from a distance, and it's not suitable to work together." Andy said.

After dinner, Isabel took the camera and urged Kyle to help her develop the photos.

She was going to show it off to her sisters.

Andy sat in the yard, looking up at the stars while digesting her food.

At the same time, she was analyzing Dumbledore's purpose.

Searching for dark magic items...

Is it for those Death Eaters who escaped trial?

Andy quickly thought that perhaps those Death Eaters who escaped trial had something left by Voldemort in their homes.

And this dark magic item is likely to be related to the secret of Voldemort's immortality.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Dumbledore had to do this.
