"One day, I will become as strong as you." Harry said slowly, looking up at the horizon. The sun had just exposed the horizon, covering the vast earth in golden light. "No matter what fate ends, I will be qualified to face it with you."

Section 2

In the old house on Oak Road, Sauron sat on the sofa in the study, holding coffee in his hand, looking at Ibicos with a serious face.

"Sir, that American appealed to the Ministry of Magic again." Ibikos handed Soren a document, "Although the evidence he provided cannot directly involve you, some people in the Ministry seem to want to take the opportunity to play, and we are now passive."

"Oh, let me guess." Sauron narrowed his eyes and looked at the materials, "It's that old thing Barty Crouch."

Ibikos nodded, "He exerted his influence among the Ministry of Magic and tried to convince the committee's people to investigate the matter in depth." Ibikos looked at Soren, "He was targeting us. In fact, he had privately tried to convince the people of the Law Enforcement Division to send an investigation team to that town for residual magic energy inspection, but it was unsuccessful."

"Hmph." Sauron sneered, "As long as the politicians have no brain problems, they will not agree with Crouch's approach. So far, we have never had a feud with the Ministry of Magic. The senior officials cannot offend a demigod and several ancient families for the sake of the banished place." Sorenton said coldly: "Once the Ministry of Magic conducts in-depth investigation, it is very likely that I will find it, and then they will have to take action against me. But they cannot tell Dumbledore's attitude. If Dumbledore does not come forward, the group of banishes in the Ministry of Magic will not do anything to me at all. By then, the Ministry of Magic will lose its prestige, which is a disaster for those politicians. Therefore, the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic will not only not support Barty, but will try their best to evade this matter."

"Sir, I'm sorry." Ibikos hesitated, "Dumbledore's attitude towards your actions..."

"Acquiesced," Sauron said, "actually, from the very beginning, he knew what I was going to do."

Ibikos showed a surprised expression, but seeing that Sauron didn't want to say more, he wisely did not continue the topic, and instead lowered his voice and asked, "So, what do we need to do next?"

"Look at that old thing Crouch, don't let him influence Froggy too much. If necessary, you can give Froggy some support. Although Froggy has always remained neutral, at least he won't do stupid things." Sauron said slowly, with a hideous smile on his face. "Our ultimate goal is to control the Ministry of Magic, not to destroy it. When we have enough political power, I will crush those guys who are in trouble with my own hands."

Ibikos was slightly stunned, and then showed a hint of excitement. Some officials led by Barty Crouch have been causing trouble for Ibikos and the others. Some were due to conflicts on political positions, and some were due to grudges between families. In fact, even within the Slytherin political forces, which have always been consistent with the outside world, Ibikos also suffered resistance.

If a demigod like Soren takes action, the hostile forces will inevitably be swept away soon, but this bloody purge will inevitably lead to turmoil and panic among the top political leaders. This requires Ibikos and others to have sufficient political influence to fill the power vacuum in time and control the contradictions caused by the purge within the scope of the seat belt. When the forces of all parties reach a compromise and balance again, then in the new political structure, Soren's power will inevitably have an overwhelming advantage. "Sir, for that American-" Ibikos lowered his voice and said slowly: "Do you need to shut up?"

"He's useful." Sauron shook his head gently, "It was just a small experiment to leave him behind, otherwise how could he have the chance to say all this."

Sauron raised his hand, and strands of black fire gathered in his palm, turning into a burning eye. The dark golden pupils seemed to be the blade embedded in the flames, revealing hideousness and evil. In an instant, Ibikos, who was standing next to him, felt a chill. Around his pupils, the black flames leaped, and from time to time turned into hideous and twisted faces, making silent wails.

"I heard that he is the leader of the exiled group, and the principal of a magic school." Sauron looked at the magic eyes in his hand and sneered on his face, "Maybe, it would be a very useful piece."

Section 3

Saw Ibikos away, Soren walked through the living room and walked to the door leading to the backyard of the building. He hesitated for a moment, and he gently pushed open the door. The fragrance of the plants and the faint earthy smell mixed together made people feel relaxed and comfortable. Among a cluster of light blue lilies, an elf-like girl was watering the plants with a magic wand. The sun shone on her long silver hair, reflecting a mysterious luster. Feeling Soren's arrival, the girl turned around and showed a faint smile.

"There was nothing in this garden," Sauron said with a smile. "I have to admit that you are good at taking care of plants."

The two of them hugged each other gently and quietly felt each other's existence. The girl put Zhen's head on Soren's forehead and sighed softly. "This garden is no longer deserted because of me," the girl said lightly, and she pressed her hand on Soren's chest, "But what about here?"

Sauron was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his face. He gently held the girl's face and looked at her eyes. There were tears in his light blue eyes at some point.

"My stupid girl." Sauron said softly, "To me, you are like a ray of early morning sunshine." He pressed his hand on the girl's hand, "Here, there is always a softness that remains for you."

"To be honest, Sauron, I'm very scared," said the girl. "I can feel the bloody smell on you, which is so strong that it's shocking. I don't know what you did, nor do I want to know. I just want you to remember that no matter what happened, at least there are people in this world who love you and are waiting for you."

"I promise you." Sauron said softly. He took a step back, but his hand pressed on his chest without letting go, and pressed the girl's hand tightly on his chest. As a wave of magic spread from him, Sauron's pupils turned dark golden. Under the girl's surprised gaze, Sauron chanted in a low and solemn tone:
