Compared to the scenes of regime change recorded in the history of magic, Lord Voldemort's seizure of power this time was unusually smooth. After Dumbledore's sudden departure and Scrimgeour's death, there were almost no wizards who resisted Lord Voldemort on the surface.
Lord Voldemort's powerful magic and the threat of death made all those who opposed him shut their mouths or go underground. The pure-blooded wizard families that were originally thought to have fallen also showed unimaginable power this time. In addition, there were many dark forces who chose to support Lord Voldemort for various purposes. With their joint efforts, Lord Voldemort easily controlled the Ministry of Magic and formed a new regime to exert influence.
The whole process was ridiculously easy. There was no resistance at all as expected.
In fact, many wizards did not even know that the Ministry of Magic had been occupied by Lord Voldemort.
However, the latest policies of the Ministry of Magic still gave people some clues. For example, the infamous Muggle Birth Registration System. Elwyn had heard of it before, and today's newspaper had a more detailed introduction.
After the first page of the wanted posters of Elwyn, Harry, Sirius, and others, there was an article about the Muggle Birth Registration System. It said, "The Ministry of Magic is taking action to investigate the so-called Muggle Birth population to better understand the magic secrets they hold.
Recently, the Department of Mystery Affairs had investigated and found that magic could only be passed down through the reproduction of sorcerers. Those who had not been proven to be of sorcerer bloodline, which was also known as muggles, could have obtained magic through theft or violence.
The Ministry of Magic is determined to find the person who has usurped the magic. In the near future, invitations will be sent to every person whose identity is in doubt or who is a Muggle. They will be invited to a meeting organized by the newly formed Muggle Registration Committee … "
This was utter nonsense. The Ministry of Magic no longer cared about Lord Voldemort. Instead, they began to study wizard reproduction …
If no one had any doubts about this, then they would be treating everyone as fools!
The only reason why there was no widespread panic and escape could only mean that people still didn't understand the new policy, or naively believed that the meeting organized by the Muggle Origins Registration Committee was just a meeting.
When they saw the trial of the Soul Catcher, and the result of being captured and brought to Azkaban with a single word of disagreement, and even having their souls sucked out by the Soul Catcher's kiss, they would start to feel afraid.
But by that time, it would be too late for them to escape.
But then again, increasing the scrutiny and management of the Muggle wizards represented the opinion of a large number of wizards to a certain extent. It was a voice that had existed in the magic circle for a long time.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Magic did this, many pure-blood Wizards and Wizards with bloodline prejudice were excited.
Moreover, the new Ministry of Magic was very lenient towards pure-blood Wizards. Even confirmed members of the Order of the Phoenix like Weasley and his family were not arrested. Mr. Weasley could still work at the Ministry of Magic as usual.
In this way, there were also many pure-blood Wizards who supported the new Ministry of Magic.
Many of them might not support Lord Voldemort, and they also opposed evil and violence, but they did not oppose the policies of the new Ministry of Magic. For them, the Ministry of Magic might finally be doing something serious. But for the Muggle wizards and humanoid and non-human intelligent races, it was a disaster.
Elwyn casually read two paragraphs and skipped the article.
The third page of the newspaper was another heavyweight news. On the top of the page was a very large picture of a man with a hooked nose and black hair. It was a man that Elwyn was very familiar with. Below the picture was a striking headline: Severus Snape Appointed as Hogwarts Headmaster.
It's finally here!
This news meant that Lord Voldemort had begun to reform the current education system. Not surprisingly, this news appeared a little earlier than expected. After all, there were still nearly two weeks before school started.
Elwyn originally thought that this news would only be announced at the beginning of school.
Perhaps, when Lord Voldemort went to Hogwarts last night to retrieve the Twin Snake Scepter, the reform of education and Snape's election as Headmaster had sped up the process. After the robbery of Gringotts and the loss of the Golden Goblet, all the Death Eaters should be trembling with fear. Harry also said yesterday that Lord Voldemort was very angry. He had killed many people at that time. Now the Death Eaters must be thinking of ways to please Lord Voldemort and accomplish what he wanted to happen as soon as possible.
"This is a photo of Snape?" Hermione said in surprise. She also noticed the newspaper in Elwyn's hands.
"Yes, he has been elected as the new Headmaster. If Harry sees this report, he will definitely flip the table in anger. But he probably won't fight with Sirius, right? Their opinions are always surprisingly consistent when it comes to their attitude towards Snape. "Elwyn said as he laid the newspaper flat on the table and read it carefully.
"Severus Snape, the long-time Potionology Professor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has been appointed as the headmaster of this ancient school in its most important faculty transfer. He will start fulfilling his duties from today onwards, and usher in a brand new era for the oldest magic academy in the magic world. In addition, there is also the resignation of the former Muggle Research Professor. Alecto Carlo will take over this position. Her brother, Amicus, will fill the vacancy of the Defense Against Dark Magic Professor. "
"Hmph, that sounds great." Elijah interrupted, "I've heard of this pair of siblings. When I was staying with my uncle in the Underground World during the summer vacation last semester, there were many Dark Sorcerers other than the Werewolves. The two of them were the most famous and cruel ones. Believe me, they will make a mess of Hogwarts. "
"I can imagine the Muggle Research Professor teaching how to kill a Muggle cruelly, and the Defense Against Dark Magic Professor teaching how to use black magic." Elwyn nodded in agreement. "And Headmaster Snape …"
"Headmaster Snape …" Hermione seemed to have thought of something. She quickly ran out. "Wait, I'll be right back!"
Elaine looked at Hermione's back and continued to ask, "I don't understand. Why did the other professors agree with these appointments?"
