Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"I heard that Scrimgeour reported to Fudge the same day he captured your loyal servants."

"But Fudge seemed unwilling to believe it, and even less willing to take over the matter. He reprimanded him severely, and the two of them had a big quarrel in the Minister's office. The wizards outside heard it."

"In the end, it was Dumbledore's mediation as the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot that calmed the situation."

"The handling of this matter has been handed over to the Wizengamot."

Avery's words undoubtedly verified Voldemort's guess.

"Don't worry, my servants will be out soon, but it may cost a small price."

"Don't worry. As long as the person is fine, everything else is a minor problem."

"When I return fully, I will make up for it for them."

Voldemort said confidently.

Wizengamot? He knew the Wizengamot too well. What else would that group of wizards do besides fighting for power?

Many of his subordinates are members of the Wizengamot themselves.

Let them judge their own crimes?

Isn't this just a replica of 'Who in this court is suing me?'

A light of hope bloomed in the fairy's small eyes.

If the Ministry of Magic was united, he would still be a little afraid of it, but if it is a Ministry of Magic like this, which is fragmented, he will not be afraid of any of them.

"Avery, my faithful servant. You must keep an eye on this matter. Once the others are acquitted, you must immediately find them and bring them to me."

"Also give me these potion ingredients."

He had another potion to brew, and he had his body to rebuild.

This is why Voldemort took Avery with him before leaving. He was the oldest among the other Death Eaters and one of the most powerful. With him, the materials could be collected much faster than with Wormtail.

He had already made up his mind that once his body recovered, the first thing he would do was to go to Azkaban, recapture the Dementors, and release his most loyal subordinates.

Then there were the giants, the werewolves, and those who were once his supporters.

Finally, he found an opportunity to get rid of Dumbledore, the only wizard who made him feel difficult.

According to the official setting, Fudge was promoted to Minister of Magic after Minister of Magic Millicent resigned the year before Harry entered school, but most fan works do not seem to use this setting, and the movie version does not mention the specific time.

Chapter 329 Don’t Stand on the Wrong Side

In a small house somewhere in Hogsmeade, a group of Death Eaters led by Karkaroff were sitting together.

"Mr. Karkaroff, thanks to your advice, we were not caught by the Aurors like McNeill and Nott."

"I originally thought that 'that person' had returned, but I didn't expect it to be a trap."

The man with his head hidden in the gray hood spoke.

Different from the most successful Death Eaters in the wizarding world who were captured in the grave of Voldemort's father, these Death Eaters were at the average level in terms of both magic level and status, or what Voldemort called the 'mob'.

Yes, there are class divisions among the Death Eaters. Strictly speaking, this applies wherever there are people, no matter where you are.

When Karkaroff was arrested, in order to avoid being imprisoned in Azkaban, he betrayed a group of Death Eaters. Although he was successfully spared, he was also excluded from the circle by the "surviving" Death Eaters.

But who doesn’t have a few friends?

He was excluded from the high-level circle, but he was integrated into the second class below the Death Eaters' high-level. It was also because of the support of these Death Eaters that he was able to become the headmaster of Durmstrang School after the Wizengamot trial.

"Of course, Joseph, my friend, we should help each other."

"Just like you helped me back then."

Karkaroff said this while baring his two rows of distinctive yellow teeth, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

If Dudley hadn't told him a few days ago that it was the plan of the thief named 'Tom', maybe he would have followed.

"Those guys up there should be fine. They'll be released soon."

Joseph nodded, not doubting the truth of Karkaroff's words.

Karkaroff knew this so well because that's what Dudley told him.

The handling of the group of Death Eaters was arranged to the Wizengamot, and now more than 30% of the Wizengamot members are openly related to the Carrow family. The Carrow family is the representative of the Dursleys, which is almost the consensus of all the Slytherins in Hogwarts.

Maybe after this incident, this number will become 60% or even more.

In order to avoid going to Azkaban, those Death Eaters will agree to any conditions put forward. Don't expect them to have much backbone. The higher the position, the more afraid of death they are.

Power may be seen as a treasure by those who have climbed up from the bottom, but for truly powerful families, it is nothing more than avoiding the limelight for a while and then taking it back.

"Karkaroff, is 'that' really back?"

When Joseph said this, he looked towards the door unconsciously, and his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

The others also looked at the same place as Joseph spoke, quietly waiting for Karkaroff's answer, not even daring to breathe.

"Joseph, there are some things that are better not to know too much."

Karkaroff did not answer directly, but gave him an ambiguous reply. It was impossible for him to answer the other party directly, even if Dudley did not specifically explain it.

Joseph nodded knowingly.

Although it seems ambiguous, it is actually an answer to him.

This kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words.

"Karkaroff, if you need anything, feel free to contact us."

“We will do everything we can to meet the demand.”

Joseph placed a bulging small bag into Karkaroff's hands in a very cryptic manner.

Only as a friend can I remind you in this way, and as a friend you must also be grateful.

After gently shaking the bag in his hand to fully feel the weight of it, Karkaroff immediately showed a smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum on his face, and he was obviously very satisfied with Joseph's wise behavior.

I couldn't help but add one more sentence.

“Be prepared”

"The magic world is going to change. It's going to change in the true sense. No one can stop it. No one can stop it."

"As an old friend, I'll give you a piece of advice."

Hearing what Karkaroff said, Joseph and others stretched their necks and listened carefully to what he said next.

“Don’t stand on the wrong side.”

Hearing what Karkaroff said, Joseph and the others showed surprised expressions on their faces.

The Triwizard Tournament ended successfully with the two Hogwarts warriors winning at the same time. Although Hogwarts won, the headmasters of the remaining two schools did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they seemed very happy with the result.

One month before the end of the semester, Karkaroff had already taught all the magic he could. Even for the black magic he was best at - Curses, there was nothing left to teach the fourth-grade wizards. All that was left was practical operation.

So the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was changed back to Professor Moody. Although what Moody knew was almost exhausted, fortunately he lived long enough and had rich experience, and he could still teach some other magical skills for learning.

Time passed smoothly and it was June of 1995, and it was time for final exams. With the end of the semester and the arrival of the holiday, the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, led by their headmasters, returned to their respective schools in the same way as before.

Before leaving, Professor Hagrid of the Care of Magical Creatures class said goodbye to Ms. Maxime. In fact, the two had already exchanged contact information, and had agreed to get together during the holidays after Ms. Maxime went back to deal with things in school.

In order to spend a pleasant holiday for two, Hagrid borrowed some money from Dudley. In the wizarding world, it is difficult to do anything without gold galleons, especially for a huge project like dating. Hagrid has not saved much money over the years, and basically spends whatever he has.

It was called borrowing, but strictly speaking it was selling. Dudley took some things from his cabin.

Don't underestimate the wealth of a Forbidden Forest Warden.

The little bit of stuff Hagrid showed from his fingernails was enough for an ordinary wizard to eat and drink for a lifetime. Even a rich man like Malfoy would not be so extravagant as to make a doghouse out of unicorn hair, but Hagrid's dog Fang's bed was made of pure unicorn hair.

This nest is enough for an ordinary wizard to eat for a lifetime.

Since the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Dudley had become even busier, often alone in the Room of Requirement.

Harry and the others were already used to this kind of thing, and they were probably tinkering with some new potion.

However, this time they guessed wrong.

Dudley was not researching new potions, but was trying alchemy.

"Win the Triwizard Tournament and successfully touch Voldemort's nose."

"Obtained: Magic Costume Production Level 1."

This is what Dudley gained this time.

Chapter 330 Dudley's First Time

In the FATE world, magic is usually called sorcery, while the magic in that world is something like rules, or it can be called a miracle.

As the name suggests, magic costumes are props used by spellcasters. They have the function of assisting spellcasters in casting magic, and do not refer to clothing in general. They are roughly divided into offensive, defensive, and auxiliary types. Needless to say, offensive and defensive are the literal meanings. Auxiliary magic costumes mostly have functions such as increasing magic strength and replenishing magic power, or can cast magic with less magic power, or use more magic power than their own limit to cast magic.

It was similar to the alchemical products in the wizarding world he lived in, but not exactly the same.

The magic costumes in the FATE world are more combat-oriented.

Although alchemical products in the wizarding world are magical, they are rarely related to combat, such as the Hogwarts Sorting Hat that has the ability to think independently, the Griphook in the Ravenclaw lounge that can constantly ask different questions, the Gryffindor sword that is suspected to have the property of breaking magic, the Ravenclaw Diadem that can increase wisdom when worn, the Resurrection Stone that can falsely resurrect the dead, and the Invisibility Cloak that can make you invisible when put on, even the God of Death cannot detect it.

In terms of magical degree (mystery), it is definitely better than most magic costumes. In the world of FATE, I am afraid that only the treasure can be compared with it, but in terms of combat help...

Even Gryffindor himself rarely used his big sword in battle. He usually used magic to defeat his opponent first, and only used the sword of Gryffindor when it was very rare and necessary. Judging from the condition of the sword, it was obvious that it had basically never been baptized in battle.

The only thing that has to do with combat is probably the wand.

The best one is the old wand in Dumbledore's hand.

According to the legend of the Three Deathly Hallows, wizards who wield the Elder Wand are invincible. Although this is somewhat exaggerated, it is certain that the Elder Wand can increase the strength of its holder's spells.

It does fit the definition of offensive and auxiliary magic equipment.

However, these are not the point. The key to the problem is that Dudley has already obtained something similar to alchemy, such as magic costume transformation, and obtained the alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist, and also learned alchemy in the wizarding world. Now he is given a magic costume to make.

With all these buffs stacked up, are you really planning on letting me make a Gundam (crossed out) Light Emissary or Dragon Ball Z in Hogwarts?

Or make a belt that can transform into Kamen Rider?

Before, I either gave him Wave Qigong or Iron Mountain Back. Later, I gave him a bunch of boxing techniques, even the Cosmic Fantasy Beast Fist.

Then there's the magical beast language and the Taming of Magical Creatures.

Does this mean I can be a fighter, druid, and puppeteer?

Imagine the way Dudley fights.

First, let the baby bite the enemy. If the baby can't beat him, then bring out the Gundam. When the enemy finally destroys the Gundam with great effort, the main body that comes out is even stronger than the Gundam.

Who wants to fight like this?

Well, if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.

But Dudley still wanted the image of a spellcaster who looked mysterious and complicated, flying in the air, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down on all living beings, high above, with a Titan Arrow (magic) in his left hand and a Thunder Bomb (magic) in his right hand, and could bring down meteor showers and destroy the world with a flick of his fingers.

Although he now appears to be an extraordinary person to outsiders, he is definitely not mysterious. He is considered extraordinary purely on a physical level.

I can now create similar effects, but they are all appendages of other abilities, not real magic.

"I have a headache."

“I always feel like something is missing.”

Dudley put down the crucible filled with silver liquid in his hand and rubbed his temples to relieve the fatigue in his brain.

Although the alchemy methods in each world are different, they all have their roots in the same principle and there are many similarities between them.

The reason why he was tired was purely because this was Dudley's first time, and he didn't want to just make a random magic costume, he wanted to make one with excellent performance.

The magic suit he chose was called Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

It has automatic attack (the attack method is whip-like slashing), automatic enemy search (the enemy search method is sensing fluctuations and heat sources in the air), and automatic defense (the defense method is membrane defense and column defense).

In general, although Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid is not the best magic gift, its functions are quite complete and versatile.

The initial form was created by El-Melloi, one of the Twelve Families, and is the magic outfit used by Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald in the Fourth Holy Grail War (the Lemon Head in FATE ZERO).

Later, because the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was too automatic and mechanical, it was easy for experienced magicians to find out the flaws. Therefore, El-Melloi II (Weber) and El-Melloi's legitimate heir, Lanis El-Melloi Archizolti, improved it on the original basis, adding a virtual personality to this automatic tracking, attacking, and defending magic costume, making it exist in the form of a mercury maid with a certain degree of self-awareness (intelligence), greatly increasing the magic costume's ability to adapt to changes.
