Chapter 293: Struggle without feeling Europeans and Americans

While the students of Hogwarts were enjoying a not-so-difficult express time, the professors of the House were greeting each other and exchanging ideas.

Among them, there is naturally Kane.

Dumbledore, who has money, naturally does not want Hogwarts to change his surname to Shafiq, so the newly formed school board, with 33% of the shares, belongs to the school itself, and the headmaster is the legal representative.

The remaining 64% is held by members of the community, which is basically an ancient wizard family.

Of course, this is not to say that half-bloods and Muggles don't have money. Second, as an institution for wizards, its board of directors must have enough influence in the wizarding world.

The historic Black family was replaced by the newly rising Shafiq family, and three were stripped of their power because they were found to have had an affair with the Death Eaters.

In the end, the Shafiq family holds 24% of the shares, the remaining 40% are neutral and 17%, white and black 12%.

The white camp, such as the Longbottom family, whose members are withered but not bad for money.

The black camp is more representative of the Malfoy family.

If you don't grasp the hard handle, it doesn't happen. Although the rules of Morsoblay are not as prevalent in the wizarding world as they once were, they still exist. After all, it is a problem that has accumulated over the years, and unless it is a revolution that changes the world and washes the ground, there is no way to eradicate it all at once.

Kane has little opinion on this.

So much has happened in the past year.

In a joking sentence: The protagonist is growing too fast, and the power group that used to need to explode to just win has become a local chicken.

Especially after knowing what the great enemies are, the plan to turn the wizards into invisible coolies and obtain magic power by sorting out the dark dimension has become too inefficient.

One of the important reasons is that this kind of thing, once it is actively operated, it will come to an end.

Hogwarts serves as a showcase for love, half-play, and play. But if it is generalized, it will certainly arouse people's vigilance.

And only when the wizards feel that it is easy to ask for the door, it can be regarded as a matter of course.

So far, this project is still in the pilot period, relying on the user's word-of-mouth promotion, which has aroused a lot of interest, but most of them are waiting. An important point is that there is no urgent need.

Although many wizards smell the smell of impending mountain rain, there are very few who can actually take action.

This made Kane realize that he had made a mistake in the past, and that he had overestimated the dynamics of the wizards.

You must know that wizards are also relatively typical Europeans, and looking at the rise and fall of Europeans for thousands of years, it can basically be understood in this way: from drinking blood, to becoming a big animal, and then looting broke out, winning the glory of the standard-bearer of civilization in one fell swoop, and going ashore in whitewash. Or, in other words, looting, or sheep shearing for short.

Although the really rich are the capitalists and magnates, ordinary people are still stained, just like Wang Sicong's dog.

The state welfare is high, the salary is good, so the food and clothing are **, free thought, and hedonism.

Life is this life, should live a chic and happy life, the specific definition, naturally will not be the set in "How Steel is Made", but to know how to be happy in time.

So Kane found that he actually couldn't complain about others, because he was not Europeanized enough, and he was like a wind-up gong and drum soldier all day long, playing and struggling.

On the other hand, wizards, poor like the Weasleys, don't they still travel to Egypt during the summer vacation?

Look at Dumbledore in front of him, with a lazy posture, holding a lemon snow treasure in his hand, and happily inviting everyone to eat ice cream. Rich, but also more extravagant, all kinds of ice cream piled up on a large table, which Dumbledore ordered, hundreds of house-elves who served Hogwarts made like a cooking competition.

He invited everyone to come this time, and actually introduced the new colleagues to each other, and the result turned out to be afternoon tea.

Kane was rather unattached to the slow pace of this little that took an afternoon, and after a brief greeting, he made an excuse to leave.

Interestingly, this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is the Mad-Eyed Alastor Moody. The notoriously old lion was a man of war suffering from post-war psychological syndrome in Kane's eyes.

He always seemed anxious and impatient, and his mantra was 'always on his guard', which, combined with his clairvoyant eye and face with a crippled face, managed to affect the mood of most of the people he came into contact with.

Kane also didn't know if the old bee had brought back this Voldemort's same year because he liked Moody's face and so-called infectious power.

It doesn't take much to be good in class, just dangling in front of the wizard apprentices from time to time, it is enough to make the apprentices understand that 'belligerence will die'.

Of course, it is estimated that the young wizards will focus on how to protect their handsome faces in real battles.

He was involved in more than half of the prisoners in Azkaban, and Moody sniffed his meals and drank only from the curved bottle he carried with him.

And it is this kind of small action that makes Kane a little kind to Moody, and the gathering place of Vientiane Gate in his previous life is full of psychopaths like Moody, who are always nervous and lose their elasticity, and cannot really relax.

But Moody's doesn't like Kane very much, and the reason is because of the money.

In the words of his private complaint to Dumbledore: Shafiq has made the wizarding world stench of copper like the mortal world, and the glory of justice has been transformed by it.

What he said was, of course, Shafiq's bounty for Grindelwald and others.

Grindelwald and his party were forced to have no way to go to heaven and no way to the ground, and were brought to justice before they could cause harm, and Moody couldn't say it was wrong.

But this 'money power' method of capturing has been gradually promoted by wizarding ministries of magic around the world after being demonstrated by the Shafiq family. There are also more and more wizards who make a career out of it and become bounty hunters.

This situation made Moody, who has the heroic plot of 'The greatest motivation for us to live and die like this, not money, but to get justice done', very disappointed, and felt that it was a glorious act, and suffered blasphemy.

With a little bit, it depends on Kane's various unhappiness.

Kane felt it, too, and he thought that this might be another reason why Dumbledore had hired Moody to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

There are always some people in this world who can't be moved by material desires, so they can't be bought by money, and Moody's is one of them.

There is a difference between not loving money and not loving enjoyment. Like Professor Minerva McGonagall, she cannot be bribed because of her personal character, professional ethics, and emotional component, but in fact, Professor McGonagall pays great attention to the details of her life, such as dress, food, etc.

Of course, Professor McGonagall's tastes are a little old, but that's a thing of the past. Ever since that visit with Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall has developed a friendship with Catherine Shafiq. Later, he also met his aunt Pandora through Catherine.

Pandora brought the pop culture and elements of the worldly and contemporary world into the women's circle, and Professor McGonagall's tastes were clearly adjusted. From color to style, the dress is more down-to-earth.

In fact, money, or materialism, is rapidly changing the relatively conservative world of British wizards. Even the "Supreme Pravda", founded by the Magical Congress of the United States, published a somewhat ridiculous commentary article "The Magic Eye Makes British Wizards Open Their Eyes to the World and Quickly Connect with the World - On the Contribution of the Shafiq Family to the British Wizarding World".

Of course, there is more than one article of this kind that indirectly flatters the Shafiq family. Especially when the black hemp planting and sales are expected to be hot, and the money-making projects launched by Shafiq are lined up.

And the Magical Congress of the United States is not just for money, they hope that after Shafiq settles in the United States, they can clean up the miasma of the United States like the extraordinary order of Britain.

In order to achieve this goal, American wizards have already made many preparations for the rulers of the mortal world.

If the Shafiq family is not interested in changing their nationality, they can also play the Hollywood model, many British actors became famous after going to Hollywood, and Hollywood's acceptance of 'British style' is not bad.

If this model of going to a cousin's house for development does not work, then Americans are ready to do another way, similar to the 'sister cities' that have begun to play in this era, honorary citizens, and so on.

The perseverance of the Americans has also further elevated the status of the Shafiq family, and the Shafiq family has indeed done one thing after another to show their faces.

Like the opening of the gates of hell in Paris and the capture of living corpses in Britain, these all take time to ferment, and there are contrasts that are more harmful. No one can deny that the Shafiq family has indeed made British wizards shine internationally.

Up to now, the English wizards, who are more conservative and old-fashioned than their compatriots in the mortal world, although they still make a few sour words about 'nouveau riche' from time to time, have become very accustomed to putting the Shafiq family into the English display menu in front of international friends, which is the kind of reserved, seemingly casual, and light-hearted description.

In this context, His Excellency the White Wizard's prestige and good name can no longer compete with it. This made Dumbledore's inadequacy even heavier.

It wasn't that he was jealous of Shafiq, but that he felt that this kind of situation was not good and that no one could cure it.

"It's only been a few years, and everything has been washed away beyond recognition...... Dumbledore sighed as he looked at Kane's back.

She then squinted at Professor McGonagall, who, as she had always been serious, explained the 'Kane-esque' coldness to the two new professors, so that they could understand that Kane had no ill intentions in leaving the scene.

Dumbledore understood Professor McGonagall's expression of love, and he was not upset that Professor McGonagall spoke for Kane, on the contrary, it was this behavior that reflected Professor McGonagall's noble character.

However, it is precisely because of this nobility that Professor McGonagall can only be a vice-chancellor.

"Minerva only has a positive direction, but lacks the means to be a strange direction. With a sigh in his heart, Dumbledore turned his gaze back to Snape.

Originally, at Hogwarts, Snape was supposed to play the cold character.

However, since Great Lakes time last year, Snape has been so stimulated that he has not even paid much attention to the study of potions, which he loves.

Snape was the most active of Hogwarts' phased restoration projects, as it gave him access to a large number of ancient magic circles that Kane had deconstructed from Hogwarts, and Snape seemed convinced that the power he needed was there.

Lately, Snape has been in a different state of misshape, constantly unbelievable.

Snape didn't hide it from him, Voldemort, there was no one in the world who could make Snape care so much.

Or, Snape's greatest concern was always Lily, Evans, Potter, and Voldemort became Snape's most concerned living person and enemy because he killed Lily.

Dumbledore clearly remembered the conversation between the two for most of the month.

Snape said: "Voldemort is back, and stronger than ever, and I can feel that he is changing the meaning of the Dark Mark to make it more effective." ”

In order to confirm this, he used his relationship to conduct experiments with other Death Eaters with the Ministry of Magic (he did not dare to operate on Snape for fear of accidents), and the results were indeed not optimistic.

The Dark Mark is becoming a veritable device, making the owner of the logo a hands-free mobile phone, where anyone in the area mentions 'Voldemort' or 'Tom Riddle', which is equivalent to pressing the dial button, and if Voldemort is interested, eavesdropping on the conversation.

In addition, Voldemort also gave the Dark Mark more effects, such as the grant of evil powers.

Undoubtedly, this has caused concern among many, including him. They also consulted Kane Shafiq about this.

Kane Shafiq, on the other hand, is as frank and well-argued as ever. Through videos, he explains his actions against the Dawn of the Gods, and Voldemort's lobbying Sutton and pulling him to the Atlas through a space-time trap.

Kane said at the time: "There is nothing out of nothing, and the Parseltongue does not appear out of thin air, and it is assumed that Salazar Slytherin may be disrespectful, but the connection between his last descendant, Voldemort, and Iago, the Serpent Father, is almost certain." If Voldemort's resurrection is Iago's handiwork, then Voldemort probably has a certain divinity, which allows Voldemort to better understand the knowledge of evil gods, and with enough magical power, it is equal to the ability to make waves. ”

Indeed, Voldemort did not intend to let go of the classic school day......
