Chapter 105 : Hermione—Watch Me Rise to Power
Hermione Granger, the current Minister for Magic, and the godmother of Lucian Malfoy Rozier, one of the two most powerful families in the world.
Landric, the current head of the Rosier family, is a close friend of Draco, the current head of the Malfoy family, and a close confidant of Harry Potter, the Minister of Justice...
Ok.
Hermione Granger was pleased with herself as she reviewed her network of connections.
This is the cornerstone of her stable position as Minister of Magic.
Of course, in reality, only Landric is needed.
But Landric never wanted to see discord among those around him.
When she was 11, she received a letter that she thought was a prank at the time.
Hogwarts Acceptance Letter:
Dear Miss Granger…”
An owl circled above her house and dropped this letter down for her.
Hermione was so angry she laughed. Who on earth was so bored?!
But at the same time, a sense of unease arose in her and the Grangers' hearts.
Could it be that someone knows about Hermione's strange powers?
Magic? Will Hermione be burned at the stake as a medieval witch?
The Grangers were so frightened during that time that they dared not leave the house. They kept a close watch on their precious daughter at home, fearing that something might happen to her.
All the anxiety ended with Professor McGonagall's visit.
They discovered a fantastic new world.
Only then did they begin to believe that wizards truly existed...
Hermione successfully entered the wizarding world.
The 11-year-old still harbors a fear of it.
Until I first met Landric on the train.
Her incessant chatter faltered for the first time, but she still seemed to have offended him.
Hermione left Malfoy's box, noticing the disdain of the group of boys and girls surrounding Landric.
At that moment, she gained a clear understanding of the pure-blood family bloodline theory she had read about in the book.
Fortunately, the most handsome boy didn't look at her like that.
Crossing the dark lake.
Sitting under the Sorting Hat, Hermione heard the Sorting Hat ask her, "Gryffindor or Ravenclaw?"
She suddenly thought of the platinum-haired boy next to Landric.
He must be Malfoy, right?
The book says that the Malfoys were Slytherin lineages.
Nalan...
"Can I go to Slytherin?"
"Oh, child, Muggle wizards are never welcome in Slytherin, in fact, you could say that no Muggle wizards have ever appeared in Slytherin."
She knew the word "Muggle," but she wasn't happy.
If she ever gets the chance, she'll definitely change this ridiculous rule!
Then, she went to Gryffindor.
But Hermione secretly thought that perhaps she was more suited to Ravenclaw than Gryffindor.
But I've heard that Gryffindor is the most passionate house, so she must have had a good time there.
One week, two weeks, three weeks...
That's bullshit!
She was ostracized.
"What exactly is she being so arrogant about?"
"So what if you've read a few more books? What's there to brag about?"
"Look at her messy hair, haha, it looks like it's been blown up."
"Show-off Girl"
Sometimes, school bullying doesn't require violence; a few words are enough.
Hermione is learning to adjust her mindset and to be more tolerant.
But she overheard what Ron said to Harry.
The disdain and sarcasm in his tone made her instantly realize that discrimination, class consciousness, and a sense of superiority were not unique to Slytherin.
Hermione broke down and hid away.
A little child, all alone, comes to a strange world and is ostracized and ridiculed by everyone.
She began to regret coming to the magical world.
But soon, before she could regret it, a huge and ugly monster discovered her.
That huge stick came crashing down on her.
Hermione had no chance to dodge; she closed her eyes and awaited death, her screams now audible.
But the pain did not come.
She was pulled away by a slender, fair hand.
She saw the boy, who was about the same age as her, easily dealing with the giant.
She heard Harry and Ron's voices again.
The person who was originally in control immediately became weak and blinked at her.
Perhaps it was fate, but her terrified mind, in a flash, immediately understood the boy's meaning.
"Okay," she heard herself answer in her heart.
Hermione was well protected.
The giant monster collapsed under the combined efforts of the teenagers.
The professors arrived late.
Hermione keenly noticed that Headmaster Dumbledore immediately turned his gaze to Landric.
She felt a chill.
As the headmaster, shouldn't Dumbledore's first concern be the students' safety? Why the suspicion?
Later, Landric was sent away by Snape, and the three of them returned to Gryffindor.
Ron apologized to her.
Hermione accepted with a smile, and after Ron left, she vigorously wiped the hand that had shaken his hand on her clothes twice.
She almost died!
If it weren't for Landric, that blow would have smashed her into a pulp!
For a long time afterward, the three of them traveled together again.
She also successfully connected with Landric.
Then, she must have become obsessed.
My mind is completely filled with that beautiful person.
The more Hermione interacted with Landric, the more she felt that the arrogance of the Slytherin students was justified.
Elite education from childhood, and family support in adulthood.
Take the levitation spell from the first lesson as an example.
Although very few succeeded in the first lesson, from the second lesson onwards, Slytherin students had the advantage of their deeper understanding of magic.
Most of the successful students in the second lesson were Slytherins.
Their innate advantages put them at a high starting point.
But this didn't frighten Hermes; instead, it excited her.
As she grew closer to Landric, Slytherin's disdain for her began to slowly fade.
At the end of her first year, Hermione ranked second.
Hermione was initially a little resentful, but after seeing that Landric was in first place, she didn't say anything.
Her second-place finish, Landric's friendly attitude, and Malfoy's lowered guard towards her led Slytherin to begin accepting her.
At this moment, Hermione understood what Slytherin's ability to assess the situation and their hidden strength truly meant.
She wasn't as evil as Gryffindor described. In fact, she adapted to this pattern.
Landric began to lead her toward the center of Slytherin.
Hermione was clever; she noticed the pack of menacing dogs surrounding Landric.
She knew she couldn't win, so from the beginning she didn't overstep the bounds and firmly held onto the position of "friend".
She also noticed Landric's subtle attitude towards Dumbledore.
Because Landric almost never pretended in front of her.
Landric admires Chinese culture.
Hermione tried to understand.
She studied the history of China and witnessed the ever-changing and unpredictable situation, focusing her attention on the word "imperial court".
Hermione suddenly realized.
Landric is playing chess.
He himself is the "Emperor," while she should be the "Prime Minister," occupying the top position in the "literary" category.
She was overjoyed because she knew she was very important to him.
Near the end of the second year, the change of ownership of Hogwarts became common knowledge in the wizarding world.
Hermione saw Landric begin to step onto the chessboard, becoming an invisible third-party player.
The communication ring's rise to prominence during the summer vacation disrupted the otherwise monotonous life of the magic world.
As the creator of the communication ring, Landric rose to fame and was hailed as a genius.
"Reputation" began to be cultivated.
In his third year, Sirius Black escaped from prison, and Harry got a godfather.
Hermione was genuinely happy for Harry.
Since Ron was intentionally or unintentionally marginalized by her, Harry has genuinely treated her well.
Sirius Black, Harry's godfather, disapproved of Harry having a Slytherin friend.
Later, when he met Landric, he didn't object to anything.
It's not that he understands Harry, it's just that he understands Potter.
Sirius wasn't particularly fanatical about Dumbledore, so he helped Harry keep it a secret.
Landric and Sirius spoke about something.
That same year, Landric and Sirius both began secretly enhancing Harry's abilities.
Hermione knew that "General" was Harry.
So, what about "after"...?
In the fourth year, Voldemort returned, and Landric must have given him a push, otherwise it wouldn't have happened so quickly.
The wizarding world was in a state of panic, watching anxiously as the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters clashed.
In the fifth year, the great war broke out.
As a member of the Order of the Phoenix (not really), Hermione naturally did her best (not really).
Secretly communicating with the song (yes)
As the final battle approached, Hermione had already helped Nott, Blaise, Parkinson, and others arrange everyone's positions.
victory?
It doesn't belong to Voldemort, nor to Dumbledore; this thing must belong to her and Landric!
Whether she can stand by his side, rise to a high position, and gain power in the future all depends on this battle!
In fact, the process went more smoothly than she had expected.
A group of dark wizards living in the gutter cleared a path for them.
Is this Landric's backup plan?
Hermione wasn't sure, but she dared to use these people.
Because the fanaticism in the eyes of these dark wizards doesn't lie; they are a group of fanatics!
In the final period, Hermione did not return to the Order of the Phoenix.
When she, as the leader of the "Knights," stood before the Order of the Phoenix and extended an invitation to them for cooperation, she saw incomprehension, anger, and joy...
Several members of the Order of the Phoenix winked at her discreetly.
With the three working together, the Death Eaters suffered a complete defeat.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix were overjoyed.
Hermione didn't smile for the first time until news of Dumbledore's death arrived from behind.
Victory belongs to the "knights," and it belongs to her.
With the war over, and faced with a devastated magical world, those arrogant families began to reveal their power.
Hermione was astonished to discover that everything in the magical world—medical supplies, clothing, daily necessities, entertainment, communications, alchemical items, and so on—was labeled with the violet label.
A wizard, from birth to death, will be almost constantly surrounded by violet merchandise.
Hermione suddenly realized that this was Landric's backup plan!
Regardless of which side wins, he will have complete control over the economy of the magic world.
The true uncrowned king.
In the sixth year, a baby's cry was heard at Malfoy Manor.
The Malfoy family quickly made the news public.
This is the bloodline of Malfoy and Rozier, a child created by Draco after scouring ancient books and searching through countless materials.
Hermione's feelings were extremely complicated.
Although she knew that this "queen" was Draco when Landric protected Draco during the battle a year ago and prevented Draco from getting into any danger.
But... Hermione glanced at Landric, who was reading the newspaper.
Clearly, Rand was unaware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted as if struck by lightning.
Then, Landric disappeared.
The communicator was flooded with speculation about the matter.
They say that Draco's actions displeased Landric.
It is said that Landric did not like the child.
The two families fell silent until Rozier released a statement announcing that this was Rozier's successor, which dispelled the rumors.
Hermione visited the child once.
Draco's mental state was showing signs of collapse, and the little child was held in the arms of his grandparents.
The girl stared at her little father with her big, watery eyes, one blue and one purple, but he didn't give her a second glance.
Fortunately, Landric returned shortly afterward.
When Hermione saw them again, the family of three was sitting together happily.
Landric has changed somewhat.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Three years after graduation, Hermione achieved her dream of taking a high position.
At the age of twenty, she became the youngest minister, rising rapidly through the ranks.
She suppressed her feelings and got everything she wanted.
May you live a happy life, Landric.
