Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 116 When external crises disappear, the crisis comes from within.

Chapter 116 When external crises disappear, the crisis comes from within.

In Owen's mind, Voldemort was never the greatest enemy. At most, he was the leader of a terrorist group in the wizarding world because he ruled his subordinates with fear. Such a person—if it weren't for the British wizarding world giving him face, Owen would never have had the chance to deal with him.

Owen only recognizes one true Dark Lord: Grindelwald. He has methods and doesn't forget to spread his ideology. This is the most deadly thing. For example, once Voldemort's death was made public, the Death Eaters ceased to exist. Grindelwald's defeat became known to the world, but his followers remained extremely loyal and have now become part of his own power.

Fudge still didn't listen to advice. No sooner had Owen returned to Hogwarts than he announced Voldemort's death, and the next day's newspapers featured a picture of Fudge holding Voldemort's severed head.

Fudge's expression was quite interesting. Anyone could see how forced his smile was. Even though Voldemort was dead, he was still somewhat timid.

The most interesting thing is that the newspapers didn't mention at all how Voldemort died, who killed him, or how he was killed.

Just because it wasn't mentioned in the newspapers, does that mean nobody knows?

Many people know about Irving's years-long plan, but he doesn't care about such empty fame. He needs to prepare properly because he will be taking two exams in a row soon.

Common Wizarding Level Examinations (OWLs)

The Ultimate Wizarding Exam (NEWT)

Both exams were set and proctored by the International Wizarding Federation. The written exams were taken together, but they only accounted for 30% of the final score. The other exam was a one-on-one magic level interview, which accounted for 70% of the final score and was the real majority.

Although he is very confident, Irving still needs to prepare.

Until the time of the exam, he took the written exam for ordinary wizards with the fifth graders in the morning and the written exam for ultimate wizards with the seventh graders in the afternoon.

There were no problems with either of those; the questions weren't difficult, and getting full marks was no problem at all. As for the upcoming magic interview—

When Owen entered the room for the Potions Proficiency Test, he was delighted. Everyone there was a familiar face; the person sitting in the proctor's seat was someone he'd chatted with recently. The person, upon seeing Owen, paused for a moment, then immediately stood up: "Mr. Owen, are you here to proctor too? Good heavens, why didn't anyone tell me? Come on, please sit here—"

Owen sighed. He could only press the other man back into his seat and then said, "Mr. Larvin, I'm not here to proctor the exam; I'm here to take it."

The wizard named Larvin's expression immediately changed: "You? An exam?"

After saying that, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Okay, it's because your achievements are too dazzling that we habitually ignore your age. You don't need to take the exam anymore. You shouldn't waste your time here with me."

After he finished speaking, he drew a big circle on Irving's transcript!

Although the number of wizards is small, it is still a small society. As a society, it naturally requires interpersonal relationships. Therefore, Owen only participated in the exams for the other minor subjects, and passed them all with a score of 0.

He graduated at fifteen, passing two exams with a perfect score of 0. This news circulated only within Hogwarts and did not reach the outside world. When he returned from the holidays, Owen would be a full-fledged professor.

What he didn't know was that in the Ministry of Magic's office, opposite Fudge, sat a pink toad—no, a plump woman dressed in pink—named Umbridge, who was currently assuring Fudge, "Dear Minister, rest assured, I will definitely help you take charge of Hogwarts!"

Once all external dangers are eliminated, the danger will come from within.

Fudge did not reveal that Owen killed Voldemort as a test, wanting to know Owen's attitude towards the matter. However, he waited and waited, but received no response from Owen, not even a letter.

This greatly displeased Fudge, who felt that Owen was trying to embarrass him and leave him hanging. So, he set his sights on Hogwarts, believing that once he controlled the school, the annual graduates would become his subordinates.

Now, he is no longer afraid of Dumbledore, because his current prestige is no less than Dumbledore's. He doesn't have to worry about his ministerial position being taken away by Dumbledore with a single word. As for Owen—he's just a child. Even if he is smart enough and has absolute wisdom, his age is his biggest weakness.

Therefore, in order to allow Umbridge to suppress Owen in terms of status, Fudge appointed the woman as Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and made her the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Fudge showed no intention of discussing the matter; he directly used his position as minister to issue a notification to Hogwarts. Dumbledore, upon receiving the letter, merely raised an eyebrow indifferently. He didn't care about such trivial matters at all, because he believed that Owen would have a way to resolve them.

Owen didn't care. Anyway, the Black Defense Department professor was free again. Barty Jr., disguised as Moody, was arrested along with Karkaroff. However, the process was quite secretive. Karkaroff was arrested by Draco, while Barty Jr. was assigned to Hermione by Owen.

Draco's progress is tremendous. Hermione, who was already a top student, has undergone a dramatic transformation in the past few years. If she hadn't lacked a bit of confidence, she would have taken the two important exams with Owen and become the second genius to graduate early.

Perfect timing! Since someone's here, let them come. Owen didn't think much of it; he'd been quite busy this holiday. First, he'd escorted the dragons back to the reserve. The people there were incredibly grateful, and before he'd even had dinner, he was politely taken to Vagado.

Owen returned to Vagado and meticulously inquired about their unique hand gesture magic. He studied until the start of the semester before he had to return to greet the new Muggle students. This task had become his responsibility ever since he had done it last year. The professors were all getting old, and the slightly younger Snape was not quite suitable for the job.

As before, after watching the young wizards successfully enter the platform, Owen used the Teleportation Charm to return to Hogwarts, then went into the headmaster's office, ignoring an old wizard who was about to steal candy, and casually picked up his old hat to leave.

"Honey, wait a minute, wait a minute—"

Now that his inner demons have been eliminated, the old wizard is completely free to do as he pleases. Before, he only hid candy in his office, but now he has expanded it to the entire castle. Candy could be hidden anywhere. So Owen is too lazy to say anything. When school starts, the old wizard's hoardings will be given to the students as a perk.

"It's like this—" the old wizard stopped Owen and said with a dry laugh, "After the opening ceremony, I need to visit some old friends, so you'll have to take on more responsibility in the coming days."

Owen nodded, but the old hat he had casually placed on his head suddenly spoke up: "Dumbledore, it doesn't really matter whether you're here or not, because dear Owen is already ready to take over the position of headmaster."

Owen and Dumbledore laughed together. After laughing, Owen said to the old man, "Flattery won't work, but this year, I'll allow you to sing."

Ever since Irving presided over the Sorting Ceremony, the Old Hat has never sung again, because Irving said it sang terribly.
