Heroes of the Order of the Phoenix

Arthur Weasley and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic might never be considered the same person by some young Ministry of Magic employees.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest department within the Britain Ministry of Magic, and perhaps the most important of all its departments.

Apart from the Department of Mysteries, all other departments are subject to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Arthur Weasley was merely the director of a two-person Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office.

Although he could participate in drafting laws, he was only a marginal figure.

However, anyone of a certain age would agree that, barring other considerations, he is perfectly capable of becoming the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

After all, he was a hero of the First Wizarding War, and Pure-blood at that.

In particular, his mother was a member of Black House, and his wife was the only direct descendant of Prewett, one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Her two brothers were war heroes who died fighting against Voldemort.

The reason he didn't get the position, besides his own reasons, was that he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

The Order of the Phoenix did a better job than the Ministry of Magic in fighting the Death Eaters. The Ministry of Magic, out of consideration for its reputation, would not fully acknowledge his contributions and even marginalized him.

However, because of his contributions, Arthur Weasley was even able to draft laws and establish a department specifically for him.

Now, Arthur Weasley Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the time, and many knowledgeable people believe that Dumbledore was definitely behind it.

Fudge's resignation might also be because of him.

After all, most people believe that there is no such person as someone who would expect their subordinates to contribute to society but then fail to fight for their deserved benefits.

Like Arthur Weasley before, it's just about accumulating experience.

But no one expected that Dumbledore was actually such a person.

He rejected power, and therefore also refused to use his influence to fight for the interests of his subordinates.

Therefore, the hero's credit was taken by the insects, while the hero himself was marginalized.

Alastor Moody, stigmatized as Mad-Eye and considered a madman, left his position Auror.

Remus Lupin was constantly plagued by poverty, often going hungry.

Dedalus Diggle Diggle, a layabout, spends his days hanging out at the Leaky Cauldron.

Alice Longbottom Longbottom and Frank Longbottom went insane and remained at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Not to mention those who became corpses because they had no heirs and their property was taken by the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore seems to have forgotten that even heroes need to eat.

After the First Wizarding War, the Order of the Phoenix disbanded, and their contributions and achievements were divided among the insectoids.

At the lectern, Riddle whispered these reminders to himself.

He is like the serpent in the Bible who tricked Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit.

Neither of them were lying, and the truth is indeed the most hurtful.

Seeing Percy, who was completely out of his mind and unlike his former self, and hearing Riddle's words, even Dumbledore couldn't help but wonder if he had really done the right thing.

Familiar faces appeared in his mind.

For the first time, he felt that perhaps he should seize power, or at least ensure that the heroes received what they deserved.

He has the ability and influence.

"Perhaps I really am wrong," Dumbledore sighed.

Riddle, standing nearby, wore a satisfied smile.

That's right!

This is the kind of person his opponent, the one he fears most, should become.

If the Order of the Phoenix doesn't disband, it will become a powerful political party within the Ministry of Magic.

How will Voldemort rise again?

Meanwhile, Ryan, listening to their conversation from below the stage, couldn't help but think—that's why Dumbledore in the original timeline was so easily ousted by Fudge.

That's because he was so noble that those who followed him had no choice but to be noble as well.

Even fighting for one's right to receive what one deserves seems to be considered unnoble.

Who would dare speak up for Dumbledore, except for his die-hard loyalists and those willing to sacrifice everything for justice?

The majority of people in this world are normal.

Therefore, no one dared to speak up for Dumbledore.

The Weasley family in the audience, also had tears in their eyes after hearing Percy's words.

As the saying goes, children from poor families learn to be independent early.

When the Weasley family was still small and their circumstances were relatively good, Bill and Charlie, like their father, chose to pursue their dreams.

Faced with a difficult family environment, Percy chose to study hard, strive for a high position in the Ministry of Magic, and climb to the top step by step.

The Weasley Twins, on the other hand, wanted to make a lot of money as soon as possible and fulfill their dreams along the way.

Ron, on the other hand, suffers from low self-esteem.

Ginny was the most pampered, and despite her family's poor circumstances, she grew up to be like a normal child.

Now, the Weasley family kids have all gone mad!

Fred was almost breathless from Percy's embrace, and George was lifted up by Ron, who was a head taller than him. Ginny was the most reserved; she hugged Harry, seemingly wanting to share her joy.

Not far away, Malfoy at the Slytherin table couldn't help but applaud, for his idol to get the place he deserved.

He drummed very loudly; anyone who didn't know him would think he was also Weasley family.

Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy, who were standing nearby, also applauded for Draco's sake.

At this moment, the Great Hall was filled with applause, chatter, and the joyful laughter of Harry and his friends.

However, none of the professors at the faculty desk stopped them. Even Professor McGonagall was usually the strictest, had tears in her eyes.

Yes, perhaps it's because her status as the Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts and Head of Gryffindor is so prominent that others have overlooked one thing—she is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

About ten minutes later, the Great Hall finally quieted down.

Percy and the others returned to their positions.

"How did Percy find out about Dad's promotion?" Ron asked in a hoarse voice after regaining his senses.

"You were saying loudly that you couldn't do your homework without your father's reply."

"How would you have noticed that the Pigwidgeon flew over to Percy's place?" Ginny rolled her eyes and said.

"I already told you, its name is Pigwidgeon."

"It only recognizes this name." Upon hearing this, Ginny couldn't help but mutter a quiet "tsk."

She always regretted that when the Pigwidgeon first arrived home, she didn't dare to name it because it was Sirius's owl.

"How is that possible!"

"My dad isn't that kind of person!"

"Even after he got promoted, he's still most concerned about Muggle stuff!"

"How could he forget to reply to my letter?" Ron lost his dream.

But the next second he perked up again, "It's definitely in the letter to Percy."

"He probably left after watching half of it!"

However, Dumbledore stood up when Ron tried to run to the Gryffindor table.
