A Spark of Magic Fire Can Set the Plains Ablaze

Just as the United Kingdom Wizarding World was in an uproar over Fudge's resignation, someone at Hogwarts leaked what had happened that night.

No matter where they went in the castle, the students only talked about one thing:

The old toad betrays Cornelius, Stark cleverly wins over the former minister.

Umbridge's actions certainly make him seem like an undercover agent, specifically targeting Fudge.

There are some other issues with the details, such as what the two second-grade girls said:

William used a spell to knock Fudge and a dozen or so Auror unconscious, turning their heads into pumpkin heads, and sent them to St. Mungo's Hospital;

Fudge is actually a lizard man; he is an undercover agent for the You-Know-Who, deliberately harming the Wizarding World.

It's a real shame they didn't go to work for "The Quibbler".

Aside from these details, the other information was surprisingly accurate.

It seems everyone knows... Diggory seduced the old toad... a huge sacrifice!

Cedric angrily searched for the "rumor-monger," vowing to teach them a lesson.

There weren't many wizards present at the time, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall certainly wouldn't have made things up;

William and Hermione have explained this several times themselves; they will never mention him.

Marietta is temporarily away from school, visiting her mother... so there's no chance she'll blab.

So, who exactly said that?!

Are those portraits of school principals spreading rumors and causing trouble? Those shameless old folks!!

Fortunately, Rita provided a slightly more detailed account of the incident in the subsequent Daily Prophet.

To rectify people's hearts and quell idle gossip.

After all, adaptation is not random fabrication, and debunking rumors is not spreading them.

At Cedric's insistence, he became a positive character:

Diggory fights the old toad hand-to-hand.

For some reason, Cedric still felt something was off about it.

Whatever, it sounds more respectable than seduction, right?

Besides providing an account of what happened that night, Rita also listed five counts of bribery, nine counts of embezzlement, and sixteen counts of abuse of power by Fudge...

These known charges alone are enough to sentence him to 4,396 years in prison!

At the end of the article, Rita, following international custom, gave William and Hermione a round of praise.

They even gave William a long list of awesome titles, comparable to Mother of Dragons, such as Dragonslayer, Savior of France, the Chosen One of Italy, Patronus of Austria, and Guardian of Britain.

Finally, she appealed to everyone to vote for William and make him Minister for Magic.

And you know what... a lot of wizards actually think this plan is feasible.

Although William was only seventeen years old, his reputation and abilities made him easily overlooked by most wizards.

Even Old Grindelwald Marchbanks, a veteran of Wizengamot, commented in an interview:

"William has no flaws; he is the most perfect genius after Dumbledore, and is fully capable of serving as minister."

If I had to find a flaw, it would be that he's too handsome. I worry that he might distract many of the witches in the department and affect their work efficiency.

William truly had no idea how Dumbledore had managed to steadfastly refuse the ministerial position amidst all those tempting offers over the years.

However, he was really not interested in this position; he didn't want to steal his future wife's place.

The positions of President of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chairman of the Greater European Magical Union are waiting for him.

How ridiculous!

Of course, Dumbledore is actually the most popular choice.

With Fudge stepping down and war imminent, at this sensitive juncture, almost all United Kingdom wizards wanted Dumbledore to become a minister.

When things are peaceful, Old Dumbledore is always busy; when trouble arises, Albus... This group of wizards is really something else.

Another noteworthy statistic is that this is already the seventh time Dumbledore has been nominated... truly unprecedented and unparalleled.

But Dumbledore refused.

The reason given was that he was too old and lacked the energy to serve as Minister for Magic.

William, of course, knew the deeper reasons why Dumbledore was unwilling to become a minister.

Therefore, according to the plan they had prepared, a ministerial spokesperson would be appointed.

The Ministry of Magic is a complete machine of violence; it must be firmly in our hands, not lost, and certainly not left to Voldemort!

And the current Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Bones, is the best choice.

Her rival, Scrimgeour, should not be underestimated either.

This Auror chief of staff, who looks like a golden lion and is known for his toughness... is quite appealing to the public.

As for Deputy Minister Umbridge, she was clearly the first in line to succeed Fudge after Fudge stepped down... but nobody paid any attention to her.

Umbridge's impeachment was also initiated, and she faced the same fate as Fudge: a trial in Wizengamot.

Oh, and there's also the charge of adultery.

If selecting a new minister is the most important thing, then the second most important thing is the issue of the next course of action.

Where is the United Kingdom Wizarding World headed?

After declining the ministerial position, Dumbledore gave a speech, in which Voldemort was resurrected and everyone was urged to unite.

William then gave a speech.

He first criticized former minister Fudge for his long-standing tendency toward concealment and deception.

He then called for the establishment of a united front against the vampire race.

What is the "United Front Against Anti-Ambush"?

Anyone willing to resist Voldemort, whether you are a wizard, Muggle, Werewolf, Giant, or Centaur, can be a member of the united front.

William, who has mastered five dragon-slaying techniques, is practically a cheat code; his strategic and theoretical level far surpasses Voldemort's, and is more than just Grindelwald's.

(Grindelwald: I've become a unit of measurement?)

William wrote another article for Hermione, so that she could also give a speech titled "A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire".

This is the best opportunity to build up reputation, paving the way for becoming a minister in the future.

The three men's speeches were tantamount to dropping a deep-sea nuclear bomb on the Wizarding World, instantly creating a tense atmosphere throughout the Great British Empire.

Everyone knows that the Second Wizarding War is just one spark away from breaking out.

No one knows when the Wizarding World's "Boston Tea Party," "Sarajevo Incident," or "Cuban Missile Crisis" will occur.

But after 1981,

war,

I've never been this close before!

However, at this time, Voldemort, the leader of the opposing forces, was not in the United Kingdom and was unable to respond.

He appeared at the Jungfrau in the Switzerland Alps.

William, being at Hogwarts, would know about this even without spies.

The reason is simple:

According to the latest news, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake has occurred in the Alps.

This reminded William of the Fukushima region, the island nation he had traveled to before, where an earthquake of similar magnitude had occurred.

Voldemort must have done something in the Alps that caused such great damage.

But in William's hands, Jungfrau became White Tiger Cliff, and after this destruction, it will probably be turned into a narrow gorge by Voldemort.

On the third day after the earthquake, Hagrid packed his bags and hurriedly left Hogwarts.

His mission was to bring the Giant back to the United Kingdom and then engage them in the Wizarding Wars.

The earthquake also exposed one thing.

Voldemort likely found the Giant's corpse buried at the foot of the mountain and created an army of Giant Inferi.

Having accomplished all this, the Dark Lord's next target is clearly... Karkaroff of Durmstrang.

That is, Sirius is still wandering around, even giving interviews, jumping around and causing trouble.
