126. Public outcry
The wizarding community seems to naturally dislike following rules.
Not to mention Harry and Ron, two little masters of seeking death, even a decent and bright person like Dumbledore would secretly modify other people's memories in order to steer things into a situation that is beneficial to him.
Discrimination against Muggles is even more entrenched.
If it was out of good intentions and he didn't want to cause commotion and panic, then forget it, but to save trouble, he directly resorted to violent methods, which made Du Chen, who had experienced this kind of experience, subconsciously rebound, which led to the quarrel with Adair.
After emerging from his confusion, Du Chen became increasingly determined to reestablish order in the wizarding world.
It is true that people are not perfect, and as long as institutions are run by people, there will always be problems such as corruption and abuse of power.
But how many people are there in the British wizarding world?
There are less than 30,000 wizards. If you include the non-wizards, they may only be just over 100,000.
With such a small number of people, relying on the wisdom of an entire world, he cannot be fair and just, and that would be a disgrace to the time travellers.
After traveling through time for more than four years, I truly entered the magical world and learned magic for less than two years.
Gender recognition alone makes people anxious, and they are constantly worried about the live broadcast room, Voldemort, and Adair. Duchen has no time or mood to reflect on and change his own values.
Adults' thoughts are inherently difficult to change, and besides, life still maintains a superficial sense of comfort.
A normal day consists of getting up, having breakfast, studying, studying magic with Hermione, having lunch, being teased by Daphne, practical training, having dinner, playing the piano to relax, taking a bath, writing a report, and then sleeping with each other hugged on both sides.
With such a wealthy and peaceful life, it is less likely to have extreme thoughts.
It wasn't until after the holiday, when Voldemort left, the connection between the live broadcast room was cut off, and Adair relaxed his pressure, that Duchen had time to think about something deeper.
Originally, he just wanted to kill Voldemort, live happily for the rest of his life relying on the Shafiq family's gold, study magic or play the piano when he was bored, and occasionally support Hermione who became the Minister of Magic.
But now Duchenne has changed his mind.
He wants to transform the wizarding world into what he wants.
Adair has no bottom line and does whatever it takes, only looking at the results; although Dumbledore retains good intentions, he will still push people to death at certain times in order to achieve greater interests.
Du Chen did not agree with their methods. He did not want to implicate other people and wanted to protect the weak and innocent as much as possible.
This idea is naive, but there are already unscrupulous criminals in the world. If law enforcement begins to use unscrupulous means, and the only ones who suffer are the weak ones caught in the middle and serving as hostages, someone has to do something.
However, the idea is wonderful, and achieving the goal cannot just rely on dreams and empty talk.
To destroy everything that exists and rebuild a new order, you don't have enough power.
Therefore, Elaine can only stay at home and study at Hogwarts.
There's nothing I can do about it, this body is only 12 years old, no one takes it seriously at all.
Minors are not even legally capable of acting. If they want to play politics, let's wait until they become adults.
Besides, she also needs time to study magic to increase her strength.
Magic, like physics, is a way of studying the nature and properties of energy.
Every powerful wizard needs to spend a lot of effort and time in research and practice. Even if Elaine has the magic supply in the live broadcast room, she must also rely on a lot of practice to improve her skills and proficiency before the magic power can be truly realized. Be your own strength.
Although it is troublesome, it is a necessary process unless swallowing Adair to gain his experience.
But Elaine would never take this path.
At first, I was just a little sympathetic and regretful. I wanted Adair to see the rise of the Shafiq family again, and I also wanted to gain recognition before refusing to devour him. But after actually seeing what this man did, Adair was Kesu in Elaine’s eyes. A Lu-level source of mental pollution. If you swallow it, you don't even need to make a sanity check. You will go crazy directly.
Even if her strength improves, what's the point if her self is rewritten? Then she will no longer be her.
It is more appropriate to climb up step by step in a down-to-earth manner. Although it may be slower, it is better to be sure.
The increase in strength in the live broadcast room is definitely beyond the imagination of other wizards.
Besides, Voldemort is gone and Hogwarts is very safe. As long as she solves the diary before Christmas and finds an opportunity to capture Peter Pettigrew and hand it over to Dumbledore, Elaine will have a lot of free time before the Triwizard Tournament.
As for now, forget it and let Adair make trouble.
The more trouble he makes, the less resistance he will have to reform later.
***
In the days that followed, just as Elaine had imagined, Adair made the entire British wizarding community restless.
It seemed calm on the surface, but in fact the Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood families were completely panicked.
Especially those Death Eaters with the Dark Mark on their hands, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, and Ministry of Magic staff who have close ties with pure-blood families.
Many people in Diagon Alley had witnessed the visions Adair had called out and the fire spell used. In addition, Slughorn had revealed that Adair had sneaked into Hogwarts and injured Dumbledore.
Such strong strength makes them quite afraid, and some people even send private letters to Elaine in an attempt to negotiate peace.
Elaine's reply was also very simple. She was not the head of the family and could not be the master. If you have any questions, please contact the current head of the family, Adair.
This letter made everyone vomit blood. If they could find Adair, they would still have to send a letter to Elaine in a low voice.
Just as they were struggling to clean up the mess, Rita Skeeter's manuscript was released, successfully bringing shame to the pure-blood family and the Ministry of Magic.
The first article only published what Adair did and announced in Diagon Alley. This was probably the first time that Rita did not add to the facts or extend them without authorization, because there was no need to do so. Burning down Diagon Alley, blowing up the Ministry of Magic, and accusing Death Eaters would be shocking enough.
After its release, the entire British wizarding world was shocked. The Ministry of Magic was almost flooded with letters of protest, forcing Fudge to write to Dumbledore and Elaine for help.
I don’t know how Dumbledore replied to Elaine, but she replied in the standard version: She is not the head of the family and cannot be the head. If you have any questions, please contact the current head of the family, Adair.
Rita then posted two more stories until Fudge secretly pressured the Daily Prophet.
The second article describes Adair from Elaine's perspective, as well as the Sorcerer's Stone incident at Hogwarts last year. Although Hermione and Daphne almost spit out tea when they saw this manuscript, Elaine herself was quite satisfied.
Yes, Adair has this kind of cruel, crazy, and unscrupulous style of revenge, and he doesn't even care about his daughter.
The only thing that is regrettable is that Rita is unwilling to openly write about the person behind the scenes. She only writes that it is a poor teacher controlled by black magic and a remnant of Death Eaters, and then pours all the dirty water on the Malfoy family.
Considering Rita's sensitivity to the market, Elaine agreed with this approach.
After this article was published, the situation became even more tense. The pure-blood family continued to make small moves, and the Ministry of Magic even planned to launch a wanted list for Adair.
But only then did they realize that no one knew what Adair looked like now, and the one in Diagon Alley had been confirmed by Moody to be a puppet.
Elaine received another pile of letters, but she didn't even bother to read them. She just threw them to Lupine for processing, and she continued to immerse herself in her studies.
The third part contains interview records of the victims' families, as well as trial records, the destruction and killings caused by Death Eaters, etc.
This forced Fudge to come forward personally, saying that he would restart the trial and investigation, and even shouted to Adair, hoping that he would surrender and that the Ministry of Magic would be willing to cooperate with him.
Fudge said that the Ministry of Magic will never cooperate with dark forces, has not been infiltrated by Death Eaters, and will not let any criminals go lightly.
But the night after his speech, the Crouch family, the former Minister of Magical Enforcement and current Minister of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, came under fire.
When the Aurors arrived, the fire had already engulfed the house, and the unconscious Barty Crouch was thrown into the garden like garbage; and the son he rescued from Azkaban, the Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. , after being blinked by his own house elf, he was found to be controlled by the Imperius Curse and sent to St. Mungo's Hospital, where he was forced to kneel outside the Longbottoms' ward.
When the Aurors found him, he had been tortured to the point of madness by the Torture Curse, just like the Longbottoms.
Public outcry.
