Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 144 The Weasleys, the Talent Acquisition Team!

Dumbledore hadn't expected Dudley to be so agitated. After listening quietly to what Dudley had to say, he first said with a slight apology:

"I'm sorry, Dali, your knowledge, your way of doing things, and... your appearance always make me overlook your age."

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tried to shirk my responsibilities and put the burden on you.

I haven't taught students in so long, and now I'm about to teach a completely new class that I've never taught before and that has little to do with magic. I'm inevitably a little unsure of myself.

I will try my best to overcome it, or perhaps I can think of some other way.

After apologizing, Old Deng changed the subject and wisely guessed:

"Dudley, are you so concerned about the educational reforms at Hogwarts because your miraculous talent can grant you magical powers? Can you also gain the ability to bring the dead back to life through this?"

"Yes, you're right! I'm the kind of person who doesn't get up early for nothing, so of course I won't bother with things for no reason."

Dudley had no intention of hiding anything. "Completing the Hogwarts educational reforms, just like successfully removing the Voldemort soul fragments from the three Horcruxes without injury, will also grant me unparalleled concept-level power."

However, the specific benefits that can be gained from completing education reforms are random, and I cannot be certain of them.

The possibility of gaining resurrection ability is not nonexistent, but it is not very high. We should still place our hopes on the three relic artifacts.

Okay, stop daydreaming. Do you have any details about the details of bringing in Muggle talent? If not, I'll have to recommend two people who can handle this.

“That’s perfect. I was just about to ask you how to find suitable talent among so many Muggles. You know, most wizards don’t know much about the Muggle world, and so do my Order of the Phoenix partners.”

Dumbledore snapped out of his reverie and returned to the main topic.

"Have Ron's parents, the Weasleys, joined your Order of the Phoenix yet?"

Dali suddenly asked a question, his intention obvious.

"You mean Arthur and Molly?"

Dumbledore was somewhat surprised, but he quickly understood Dudley's thoughts and replied, "They haven't joined the Order of the Phoenix yet."

They had too many children. During Voldemort's reign, their children were all young, and for the safety of their families, they could not openly join us to fight against Voldemort.

But they are my good friends and loyal allies of the Order of the Phoenix. Now that it is peacetime, I can certainly invite them to join the Order of the Phoenix.

Arthur is an official in the Ministry of Magic, in charge of the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items. He has a very friendly attitude towards Muggles and a great fondness for Muggle technology, making him a suitable candidate for this mission: to search for reliable professionals in the Muggle world.

“That’s exactly what I mean.” Dudley nodded in agreement. “When you invite the Weasleys to join the Order of the Phoenix, in addition to paying them salaries, you should also give them a generous sum of operating funds.”

Let Mr. Arthur be the captain, ask the Ministry of Magic for a long leave, and take his wife and a group of gentle and meticulous members of the Order of the Phoenix to form a talent recruitment team to go to the Muggle world to carry out a mission.

Mr. Arthur can come to my house, and my father, Vernon, can use his funds and Muggle connections to provide them with some assistance.

The search for talent should focus on outstanding teachers and professors in Muggle universities, as well as outstanding individuals who have published papers in authoritative journals in the disciplines I have mentioned.

Tell the wizards involved in the operation that the Muggle talents they bring in must not only be knowledgeable and highly skilled, but also have impeccable character. This is very important.

In addition, the people they look for must be brave and have a strong ability to accept new things; they cannot faint from fright at the sight of magic and ghosts.

Also, inviting someone isn't the same as kidnapping them; you can't force them to do things against their will. You need to explain the situation clearly to them, obtain their approval and consent, and then bring them along.

"What if the Muggles don't want to come? Or what if we can't find enough people who meet the requirements?"

Dumbledore asked a couple more questions.

Dudley said the selection criteria were too many and too strict. He now doubts whether British Muggles can pick out a hundred people who fully meet the criteria.

“Dumbledore, I know Muggles better than you do. Without the help of magic, Muggles will have many regrets in life that could be easily resolved with magic.”

You should communicate with the Ministry of Magic and lift the restrictions on the use of magic by the talent acquisition team. As long as it doesn't violate morality, team members can be allowed to use magic to help the Muggle talents we need, in exchange for their consent.

Alternatively, there is an even simpler way: use money to pave the way, use gold to pave the way.

Believe me, there aren't many Muggles in the world who can't be dealt with using these two methods.

As for your concern about not finding enough qualified talent, I think that's unlikely.

There are many unassuming but highly skilled people in this world. With more than 57 million people, it would be too alarming if we couldn't even gather a hundred qualified individuals.

If all else fails, you can leverage your reputation and connections in the international magical community to send a talent recruitment team to other countries to find talent. Just add the requirement that they speak English.

Dudley offered all the methods he could think of.

He then added, "We must be selective and choose the best of the best. The Muggle talents brought in by the talent recruitment team will have to undergo another interview with you and me. We may even use Legilimency to see through their memories and thoughts."

This point should also be explained to the Muggle talents by the talent recruitment team, to prevent team members from having poor judgment in selecting candidates and bringing in slackers or fraudsters.

Dumbledore nodded repeatedly; now he had no more doubts about bringing in Muggle talent.

We can prepare to execute this.

Dudley chatted with Dumbledore for a while, casually leaving behind a handwritten letter for his father, Vernon, as proof that Arthur Weasley would seek help from the Dursleys.

After that, he took half of Dumbledore's stock of orange soda and left the headmaster's office.

He went to the Room of Requirement on the same eighth floor, set up an interrogation room, and practiced the Precision Killing Curse with Little Pettigrew while drinking soda.

It wasn't until early morning that he returned to the Gryffindor first-year boys' dormitory and began to catch up on sleep.

Harry didn't go out at night and slept through the night. He woke up in the morning feeling great.

Saturday morning.

Following his cousin's instructions, Harry wrapped the apology letter his cousin had written the day before and the upgraded Dugger wand together in a large parchment and stuffed them into Hedwig's paw.

After eating the dried meat, Hedwig happily spread her wings, flew out of the dormitory window, and began her glorious mission of delivering messages.

Following the guidance of their innate abilities, they flew straight to the location of the wizard named Dedalow Digg.
