Chapter 107 The net is spread wide, just waiting for the fish.
Yearning for power is not a bad thing, but the problem is when people can't see themselves clearly and always think, "I can do better" or "I could do it too," then they become fools in the eyes of others.
As for Percy, this student who made no attempt to hide his yearning for power, Owen genuinely wanted to help him. But before he could help, he had to wake him up first. So Percy didn't know that it was Owen's doing that he was able to get this exchange, because he received a letter from a fellow student who worked in the Department of Justice.
Although words are inanimate, through that letter, Irving clearly saw how Percy fawned over his superiors and bullied his subordinates, and this person was his classmate from school.
This group of people were the first batch of promising talents, or seeds, that Owen arranged for the Ministry of Magic. They were the beginning, the pioneers, and the most important group in how to gradually transform the Ministry of Magic into the shape of Hogwarts. If Percy caused chaos and everyone wanted to climb the ladder by any means necessary, then the problem would be ruined from the very beginning.
Barty the Elder requested leave from the Ministry of Magic, possibly because he discovered his son was missing, or perhaps during the game he noticed something amiss with Professor Moody, who wasn't coming. Owen wasn't in the mood to concern himself with other people's family matters, so he wrote a letter to Fudge and had Percy transferred directly.
During his time back at the castle, the graduates of the Department of Law will have earned additional merit, enough to promote them all to the next level. When Percy returns after the competition, he will find that he has become the lowest-ranking member.
If his mindset doesn't change at all, he will be kicked out of the Ministry of Magic.
As for Fudge—he still trusts himself very much, so he won't accept the loyalty of other Hogwarts students. He's also afraid that Owen will be unhappy. Moreover, the current irreconcilable conflict with dark wizards is all Owen's doing. If Owen stops caring or withdraws his manpower, the Ministry of Magic will be finished!
Let alone Voldemort, even the Death Eaters could easily take over the Ministry of Magic!
The Department of Law is a stepping stone that Owen left for the graduates. Outstanding graduates will directly enter the Department of Law for a six-month internship. As long as they do not make any major mistakes, they will be assigned to other departments after six months and become official Ministry of Magic employees, and even employees with some real power.
But there was one department that Owen never considered for the students from the beginning: the Auror Office. The days when you could become an Auror just by knowing the Armor Charm were over.
A wizard who cannot cast the Armor Charm instantly, cannot use Apparition or its Counterspell, does not possess Legilimency, and has more than five dark magic spells, and cannot use the three Unforgivable Curses, will no longer be eligible to become an Auror.
The Aurors had already begun training. Those who passed were kept, while those who failed were either eliminated, reassigned to other departments, sent abroad on missions, or sent home to fend for themselves.
Minister Fudge only knew about a portion of the Aurors who had been sent abroad to expand the influence of the British Ministry of Magic. He was unaware that Owen was now the one who kept his word in the Auror office.
In order to ensure Voldemort's successful resurrection, Owen ordered the Aurors to ease their attacks on the dark wizard, but he kept Knockturn Alley firmly under his control. Two-thirds of the former pure-blood Death Eaters had also sided with Owen, and were temporarily under the covert management of Damascus. They would help Voldemort's resurrection.
Meanwhile, in Azkaban, Owen and the Dementors had already discussed which Death Eaters could easily escape and which couldn't. The Dementors were all prepared, just waiting for someone to come and break them out.
Everything is ready, except for Voldemort.
A large net, woven over several years, is only missing Voldemort as the fish.
Regardless of what others do, Owen is quite relaxed right now. He listens to lectures, attends classes, studies, practices magic, and occasionally teases the beautiful witch, being chased around the castle by her, shattering the dreams of countless young boys—
Ms. Maxim finally agreed to Hagrid's request for a date, and Hagrid was overjoyed. However, he didn't forget to ask Owen for help. For example, he didn't have time to patrol the Forbidden Forest anymore because of the date. In order to help him find love, Owen had to sacrifice some more sleep time. At night, he would lead all the sixth-grade students on patrol in the Forbidden Forest.
Having passed the fifth-grade exams and not needing to worry about the seventh-grade exams, the sixth-grade students need to learn practical skills the most. Owen doesn't just use them for labor; during this time, he also teaches them some self-created practical magic to improve their survival skills.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak!"
A Moon-obsessed Beast was pacing back and forth in front of Owen, even its tone of voice was different from usual. Owen's smile disappeared, and he gently stroked the Moon-obsessed Beast's head, replying word by word, "Don't worry, leave it to me, it won't affect tomorrow night's party."
The little guy nodded, then hugged Irving's hand and ran home.
No matter how many times they see it, the sixth-grade students are still amazed. They want Mr. Owen's ability to communicate with magical creatures without any barriers, but it is a talent that cannot be learned.
"Gentlemen, fifteen poachers have entered the Forbidden Forest. Now, split into three teams of twenty-two each. From tonight until tomorrow noon, find and capture them. If they dare to use any magic against you, I authorize you to kill them! Remember, they are the enemy!"
After Irving finished speaking, he leaped into the air. The first thing he needed to do was to hold people accountable!
The condition for the eight-eyed giant spider and the centaur to live in the Forbidden Forest is to guard its boundaries. It is not required that they can stop anyone, but if someone enters, they should at least notify them.
If it weren't for the Moon-obsessed Beast, who was afraid of affecting the full moon ball the next night and came to complain to him, he would still be unaware that someone had come to the Forbidden Forest to poach again.
If we don't hold people accountable, what are we waiting for?
Owen descended from the sky, and before the centaurs could react, they felt excruciating pain. Of course, Owen didn't attack the foals, but none of the adult, strong centaurs could escape.
"It's you, X————"
Even though it was incredibly painful, the centaurs covered their companions' mouths, for they couldn't tell!
"There are fifteen people poaching in the forbidden forest. Can anyone tell me how and when they got in?"
The same thing happened to the eight-eyed giant spider, except this time Owen didn't use the Cruciatus Curse, but instead used the Killing Curse!
"Poachers came in, but you didn't notice anything, nor did you notify me, so—what use is your large population of eight-eyed giant spiders?"
This time, Kyrie Irving is really angry!
Fortunately, the poachers' target was unicorns, and Owen had moved the unicorns' habitat from the Forbidden Forest to a place closer to Hogwarts. He really hoped that some students would win the favor of unicorns. If a picture of a little witch riding a unicorn were published, Hogwarts' fame would be even greater.
It was precisely because of this relocation that the already small number of unicorns were spared a disaster. If the poachers had succeeded, the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest would have been extinct!
This time, Owen doesn't plan to send the poachers to the Ministry of Magic again.
