HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

In the headmaster's office, Teach had a sharp and insightful conversation with Dumbledore.

The same was true outside the door.

At this moment, Fudge is facing the implicit protection of Teach by Kington Kitsch, as well as the coercion from various factions within the Ministry of Magic that Kington holds over him.

Not only that, Vikman Karen is also using the power of the British government and the Anti-Magic Agency behind him to put constant pressure on Fudge, the head of the Magical Organization.

Wickman’s best reason and excuse is that Teach Carr is a British citizen.

Not only Teach, but Hermione Granger was too.

As long as they are not pure-blood wizards, and as long as one of their parents is a Muggle, then all young wizards learning magic at Hogwarts are British citizens.

At least until adulthood.

Under constant pressure from Kington and Vikman, Fudge finally gave up.

Although Fudge was unwilling to arrest Teach and extract 'magic' power from him, he had already achieved his goal of coming to Hogwarts to confront him.

So Fudge, with the 'professorship' at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that Dumbledore had given him, left Hogwarts in a huff, accompanied by his Aurors and the insignificant ministers.

During his conversation with Dumbledore, Teach turned to look at Kington Kitsch, then nodded with a smile.

This nod was Teach's acknowledgment of Kington's usefulness to him.

As long as Kington still covets the position of Minister of Magic, he will not arbitrarily break his cooperation agreement with Teach. Therefore, under the cooperative relationship, many of Teach's matters that involve magical laws can be handled by Kington, the Minister of the Department of Mysteries. This... is useful.

......

On the rooftop of the tower.

Vikman followed Teach to the rooftop, where he met the mythical griffin Griffin and Hermione reading a book in her spare time.

"Hermione, talk to Griffin. Teacher, I need some of its materials."

With permission granted, Teach took out his grappling hook dagger and used a test tube to extract one milliliter of the magical red-gold blood from Griffin.

After tossing the test tube to Wickman, Teach gracefully sat down next to his disciple Hermione and said, "This milliliter of Griffin's golden-red blood is your reward for risking my life to protect me."

"Although you have ulterior motives, the fact that you are protecting me cannot be denied."

"For a magician, the purpose is not important; the process and the result are what matter. So you can accept this Griffin's golden-red blood without hesitation."

Upon hearing Teach's words, Vikman suppressed his excitement and carefully put away the blood test tube. Then, like a servant, he began to report on 'Machi's' physical condition to Teach.

“Mr. Teach, during this half-term of your third year at Hogwarts, the government and authorities sent several wizards like me to the hospital ward to provide magical treatment for Ms. March.”

"After six months of continuous treatment, Ms. Machi's health has surpassed the average level of ordinary people. You can rest assured in Hogwarts."

With Corey Bab around, Teach wasn't worried about the government sending more wizards to the hospital.

After listening, Teach thought for a moment and then asked, "Your government agencies have taken action around my mother, March. What about the Ministry of Magic? Has Kington Kitsch sent more people?"

"No, sir."

"No...?" Teach understood after hearing that there was no such news.

The absence of such an element meant that Kington's influence within the Ministry of Magic was consistently limiting Fudge's power, preventing Fudge from having the means or opportunity to harm Teach's mother, March. For Teach, this was good news.

After reporting on the hospital's situation, Wickman had no reason to stay at Hogwarts any longer. He tactfully took his leave of Teach, saying, "Mr. Teach, due to a government order, my colleague will be taking over the hospital's affairs, so I won't be returning."

"I will be staying in Hogsmeade Village, outside of Hogwarts, for a while. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After he finished speaking, Vikman kept a close, discreet look at Teach's expression.

After a few breaths, Teach said, "Okay."

With just a simple "yes," Vikman reaffirmed Teach's stance, confirming that Teach had allowed him, a government official, to approach.

His approach signifies the British government and the Anti-Magic Agency's approach to Teach.

If this attitude is maintained, the relationship between the two sides will gradually improve, so that when the government needs magic in the future, it can get corresponding benefits from Teach.

As Vikman left the rooftop, he encountered Kington Koch as he was about to step out of the gates of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Kington was clearly waiting for him.

Seeing Vikman come out, Kington turned around, greeted him in a friendly manner, and then asked directly, "Mr. Vikman, if I may ask, are you and Teach Carr on good terms?"

“Uh…that’s fine,” Vikman said with a relaxed smile.

"If I had to explain, I'd say we're 'old acquaintances,' because I knew Teach when he was still an ordinary person. You could say that without me bringing him into the Carl family, Teach wouldn't be who he is today."

Wickman didn't understand why Kington asked him that question, but in any case, he and Teach had to present the best possible image of their relationship in front of outsiders.

Kington told Wickman that they had a good relationship, neither fully believing nor denying it.

The scene where Vikman angered Fudge and risked his life to protect Teach was undeniably real.

Kington waited for Wickman at the entrance of Hogwarts on purpose, wanting to ask this question. After receiving the answer, he did not ask any further questions, but politely said goodbye and left.

This issue is crucial for Kington, who has a working agreement with Teach.

Because Vikman works for the British government, while he is a Minister of Magic.

On the day the British government announced the establishment of the Republic, it simultaneously set up the Anti-Magic Agency, the intention of which was self-evident: to deal with the magical world.

Sooner or later, the British government will wage war against the wizarding world.

Machine guns, missiles, nuclear bombs and other thermal weapons are indeed very powerful, but when it comes to facing a magic wizard united in the face of life and death, it is hard to say who will win in the end. In Kington's judgment, he believes that it will only result in mutual destruction and there will be no winner.

But the arrival of the magician Teach was like adding weight to the balance between the government and the magical world.

Whichever side Teach leans towards, the scales of victory will tip in that direction.

Kington, who had a cooperative agreement with Teach, believed that since Teach was now bound to him, the power of magic would naturally gravitate towards the magical world.

But now it seems that this was just a self-indulgent illusion.
