Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

It was he who secretly gave Ginny the diary that Voldemort had given him, and he knew clearly that it was a very dangerous dark magic item.

At the same time, there is also a sense of expectation.

Is a Weasley family going to have a daughter die?

With so many births, it doesn't matter if one dies.

If this is the case, it is not unacceptable.

Lucius had all sorts of malicious thoughts in his heart, and he was probably full of jealousy towards the Weasley family who were so fertile.

He has only one son.

It was a pity that Carlo's next words made him completely disappointed.

"The young daughter of the Schaffer family paid a heavy price for your lapse in judgment."

"A large amount of his vitality was stolen, and he is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead."

"Lucius, you are fully responsible for this!"

Chapter 168: A new school director has appeared. How can we stop moving forward?

Something happened to the student, and although it wasn't fatal, unlike the life lost fifty years ago, she didn't have much time left as a large amount of her vitality was sucked away.

Although the Shaffer family was not part of the Holy Twenty-Eight, her fathers and mother were officials in the Ministry of Magic, and they were currently filing a lawsuit within the Ministry.

Someone has to be responsible.

Originally, as the headmaster, he was directly responsible, but it happened that Dumbledore was dismissed at this time. Not only was he dismissed, he was also taken away and left Hogwarts.

The person is no longer with us and is currently on leave from his post. We can't hold him responsible for what happens at this time, right?

Besides, he solved the problem as soon as he came back, so it is unreasonable to blame him.

Then someone else has to take the blame.

Wasn't Lucius jumping up and down before? Wasn't he the one who proposed and organized the removal of Dumbledore? Wasn't he the one who put pressure on the Ministry of Magic?

Then he is the best person to be responsible for this incident.

The school directors were eager to pass on the blame, the Ministry of Magic was eager to appease the Shaffer family, and the Wizengamot wanted to maintain their public image.

As a result, Lucius was dismissed from his position as school director.

"The Weishafu family?" Lucius looked surprised.

'The Shaffers? Shouldn't that be the Weasleys?'

Fortunately, Lucius was not really stupid and did not say this. Otherwise, he would not just lose his position as school director. The crime of murdering an underage wizard with dark magic items was enough to send him to Azkaban.

"Lucius, if I were you, I would stay at home and wait for the Ministry of Magic to come."

"I hope you have a good time in the Wizengamot."

It took a lot of effort for Barry to send Dumbledore to the Wizengamot, but not only did the other party not say anything, but he sent himself there instead.

A typical example of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice.

The Wizengamot will inevitably spend a lot of money this time.

Lucius's already long face became even longer.

"I want to see what you are going to do without my financial support." Lucius said angrily. Now he could only make harsh words and could do nothing else.

As Carlo said, he still had to face investigations from both the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot.

Among the twelve directors of Hogwarts, the Malfoy family has always been the largest investor, which is why they can firmly sit on the No. 1 position as director.

If his investment in Voldemort had not failed, causing the Malfoy family to suffer heavy losses and be severely damaged, he would not have been dismissed even if he made a wrong judgment this time.

"I think the new school director is not short of money."

Carlo continued what Lucius said.

Although it is said to be the bulk of the investment, it is actually only 3,000 Galleons per year. It is an astronomical figure for an ordinary wizard family, but for the truly wealthy in the wizarding world...well, it is also a considerable sum.

That’s a full three thousand Galleons!

It takes a full thirty years for a young wizard born in a Muggle family to redeem enough gold, while a Muggle wizard can only redeem it for seven years in his lifetime.

"Oh? It seems that you have found a new school director? Tell me which family he is from."

Lucius stared at Carlo with fiery eyes.

As soon as he was dismissed, someone else took his place right after he was removed. I would never believe it even if you kill me if you don't say it was premeditated.

Carlo had no intention of hiding anything and gently uttered a name.

Dursley

"what?"

Lucius seemed not to have heard clearly. He opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief.

"It's Mr. Dursley."

Carlo emphasized again, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes when he looked at Lucius.

The so-called most shrewd Malfoy also has today.

Once upon a time, Lucius was Carlo's idol. He was elegant and noble, the elite among the elites of pure-blood wizards. He was his role model and he almost grew up listening to his stories.

Back then, Lucius made all the senior officials in the Ministry of Magic run around in circles like headless flies with just one sentence.

During the Dark Lord's time, although Lucius was not the first pure-blood investor, he had the best grasp of timing among all the pure-bloods. The moment he climbed up that big tree, he became a high-ranking Death Eater and won the Dark Lord's trust, even becoming his right-hand man.

Now it's just like this

Senior Lucius, your time has passed, and now it belongs to us young people.

My vision is stronger than yours.

"My brothers and sisters at Hogwarts."

"Let's cheer for Mr. Dursley to become a school governor."

As Carrow led the applause, thunderous applause immediately broke out at the Slytherin table, followed by Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

The only sound in the entire restaurant was applause.

Dudley, the protagonist, stood up at this time, smiled and nodded to everyone around him, then raised his hand slightly, and the applause immediately disappeared.

This influence in Hogwarts is even stronger than that of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sat in the headmaster's seat, squinting at Dudley below, his eyes full of smiles, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Snape had a blank expression on his face, but the slight upward movement in the corners of his eyes betrayed his current mood.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout looked regretful, regretting that Dudley was not a student of their college.

Lockhart Lockhart is trying to reduce his presence

In short, each professor has a different expression.

Dudley looked at Lucius, and their eyes met, causing Lucius to unconsciously take a step back. "I think if Mr. Lucius has nothing else to do, you can leave. Now is the meal time for everyone."

"Because of your arrival, everyone has been delayed a lot of time. The breakfast is already cold, and students with poor stomachs may have bad stomachs."

This is a very obvious order to expel you.

"Mr. Dursley is right, you have been delayed for a long time, and you are no longer a school governor, Mr. Lucius."

"If you still have something to ask other professors, please wait until everyone has finished their meal and go to them as a parent."

Carlo puts emphasis on the word 'parent'.

"You. You"

Lucius was so angry that his face turned red and he was shaking all over. He pointed at Dudley and Carlo and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Maybe if someone provokes him again, he will scream and spit blood from his mouth.

Lucius wanted to roar, but unfortunately it was just impotent rage.

He shook his sleeves vigorously and left the restaurant in embarrassment.

'My stupid father'

Looking at his father's back as he left the professor's seat like a clown, Draco shook his head slightly and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

"Father, I told you a long time ago not to go against Brother D. Why didn't you listen?"

Why can't I see the current situation clearly at all?

Brother D's methods and abilities are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. The most correct approach at this time should be to invest, rather than to go against him.

Unconsciously, the tall father image that Lucius had built up in Draco's heart since childhood was collapsing bit by bit.

Draco has now started to think that if he is the patriarch of the Malfoy family, he must be much better than his father who can't figure out anything.

You can't just sit and watch the Malfoy family decline bit by bit in your father's hands, can you?

Chapter 169 Carnivorous Slug

The position of school director was originally what Dudley was destined to take. The meaning of this position is not just as simple as being a school director. With this identity, Dudley will also have a say in the Ministry of Magic.

After all, every family has a few children and a few relatives.

There are only a few magic schools in the whole of Europe. Where else can you go if not to Hogwarts?

Besides, Dudley only paid a tiny amount of money to get the position of school director.

He doesn't have much else now, but he has a lot of money. He has so many pounds and gold Galleons that he can't even count them. The situation in the Muggle world is very good, and the surrounding areas have been bought to the other side of the earth. As for the wizarding world, it goes without saying. Not to mention that the "Dragonlance Chronicles" made him a lot of money, the wizard cards gave him a steady stream of income. The venom of the eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest alone can make him rich and never worry about food and drink. One ounce costs one hundred gold Galleons.

Now he is ready to further upgrade the wizard cards and move the Lord of the Rings from the Muggle world to the wizarding world. After all, they are all his works. Of course, Dudley has another cross-era product in his plan.

The next step is even movies and peripherals.

Dudley comes from an era where entertainment is everything, and he knows very well the influence these things can have.

Just give these boring wizards with so few entertainment options a little shock.

Therefore, it is reasonable and logical that Dudley needs the position of head of the school board. Although the British Ministry of Magic is useless, it also has its advantages. As long as you have money and status, you can do many things much more easily.

Of course, Dudley did not forget that taking back the Potter family's shampoo business was also part of Harry's plan.

The Potter family almost monopolizes the entire wizarding world's shampoo industry. How is it possible that they only have a small vault full of Galleons?

That few Galleons were not enough for him to earn in a week now.

So the question is, where is the money? Where did the money go?

By the way, Dudley has already started to buy a property in the wizarding world and has chosen an address near the Potter family's old house.

This was his obsession. Whether in the wizarding world or in the world of ordinary people, he had to have at least one house.

----

Outside Hogwarts Castle, near the Forbidden Forest, at the Forbidden Forest Warden's hut.

Since the Chamber of Secrets problem has been completely solved, Hagrid has returned from the Ministry of Magic. At this time, he is carrying a huge box and placing it in front of Dudley.

"Dudley, these are what you want."

Hagrid patted the box, and his huge force made the box creak.

"It's not easy to catch these slimy and slippery things. They almost destroyed my vegetable garden before. They ruined countless cabbages and pumpkins. I tried many methods but couldn't drive away these nasty little guys."

"I always kill them and they come back soon."

"They have no natural enemies. Even the goblins, who are not picky eaters, don't want to eat them."

Hagrid kept mumbling on and on, but he was mostly introducing the contents of the box.

It includes living habits and precautions, but unfortunately it is always talking about this and that, without any coherence, which makes people feel a little confused.

Inside the box was a group of carnivorous slugs, or carnivorous slugs.

This is a creature that exists in both the ordinary human world and the wizarding world.
