Chapter 8 - chapter 8

July 29, 1968

4 years have passed since the conversation I had with daddy

About our family everything worked out to a certain extent, the companies are doing well until we started to sell the potion bottle, it doesn't make a very big profit, but it makes room for us to enter the large and profitable market for herbs and servings, which is good for this market and monopolized by the large pureblood families it will be difficult to try to take a share of this market but I know that our opportunity will come when we have the first fall of the Dark Lord where many families will be existing will be the time we can take one Large share of the market is our only option at the moment and saves money and wait.

My dad took my mom's advice and started training newly graduated muggleborns from hogwarts to be a family caretaker with the help of my godfather this was practically free as every guard is on the ministry payroll as aurors so when we need it, we'll have a lot of aurors to be family safety there aren't many around 10 or 12 as it's hard to train a good auror but dad didn't throw away those who couldn't become an auror they went to security of the family brewery and parchment and tubs and it was all working out until the father calls the family and makes the announcement that shook us

"Today I'm calling you here to give you some news, I'm going to resign as minister"

I get silly when the father says this I thought he was going to stay a few more years but that and good rumors about a dark lord have already started to circulate always the pure and better bloods my father leave the scene at this moment I don't want my father dying of any avada kedavrai. My father is sad with this choice of his but he thinks that it is better this way his father has seen in the future that he could end up dying for the pure blood conspiracy and things in the ministry are not going well since every day there is a wizard breaking the law the secrecy of purpose and this is causing a great inconvenience since the ministry is short of manpower to keep erasing the memory of so many muggles and for this reason he thinks it's time for him to withdraw from the scene and that's good. that he just gained a seat at Wizengamot and with that our family will have a certain influence in the magical world and with the contacts that will remain in the ministry I think we will have a certain political power my father helped many mestizos to rise in power within the ministry.

"Is this what you really want?" asks my mother with a worried tone

"And the best thing for me and for the family, I don't want to die without meeting my grandchildren and seeing my son grow up" my father answers with a sad tone

"Father, how will it be, are you going to leave the ministry or are you going to call for new elections?" I ask my father how this exit will be

"I've already communicated Wizengamot and Eugenia Jenkins will succeed me as minister tomorrow I will make the announcement that I am leaving due to illness"

Looking at how sad my father was I understand that it was his dream to have muggleborns have a place in the friendly world.

"Father stay calm your time has not come yet, you can be sure that in a few years you can be a minister again and you will be able to carry out your plans"

My father and mother look at me with a startled look "Son did you have another vision?"

"And it's better not to count too much father if not the future will end up changing"

My father is happy with the news looking at my mother and my father thinking "I think I will have to make a change in plans and better call an election and lose on purpose so I get some popularity to try to run for elections in the near future"

I rock the house in agreement with my father, in the future I don't want to be a minister even if I have the power to do so I think it's already very bureaucratic this whole issue imagine the headache and paperwork I'll have to work every day only I get tired of thinking and I'd better leave this part to my father, it'll be like I was the minister anyway, nothing will change

"Risddo "calls my mother, with a snap our house elf appears

"Did you call madame?" he responds, lowering his head that looks like it's going to touch the ground

"You can put the dishes today, let's have a big family lunch"

"Mom, we can call the godfather it's been a while since he's been here, I think married life has changed him"

My dad laughing responds "I'll be calling him and his wife to come have lunch with us"

I sit on the couch and wait for my godfather to arrive with his wife, I'm glad that today is Saturday and I don't have classes and just to express my happiness with you my etiquette classes are over thanks to Merlin and now I only have herb class and potions and magic theory which is much better than etiquette classes as the herb and potions class is taught by Mrs Thompson who is beautiful and young and has a huge heart that makes me pay attention in class

With the arrival of my godfather and his wife we ​​head to the dining room, in the middle of lunch my godfather coughs a little which makes everyone pay attention to him

"Since everyone is here I think I have great news to give everyone" as everyone looks at my godfather I notice that his wife Scarlet seems to blush and with a smile that looks like she won the lottery of the wizarding world

"I'm not good at speech or anything so I'll get straight to the point, I'm going to be a father"

My father ends up dropping the cup on the floor with this news my mother is in disbelief but she recovers quickly

"Congratulations Scarlet" says my mother leaving her place and going to her to give her a hug, my father is silly with the news of his friend

"Cadmun I'm happy for you friend you don't know how and the happiness of being a father" my father goes up to his friend and gives him a big hug and they both start laughing with happiness

I wonder will it be a boy or a girl? Will it be a nice person? Or will you be a boring and spoiled child

"Hector what are you thinking?" asks my godfather

"I'm thinking the baby's name will it like me? Or do you want to steal my toys?"

Everyone bursts out laughing my parents sometimes forget that I'm just a 10 year old.

"Relax Hector when the child is born you will be studying at Hogwarts" answers my godfather to my question

"At least today we had good news" my father made out of nowhere

"Nobby are you really going to resign as minister?" ask my godfather

"Cadmun I'm going, and the best thing is, there are many disturbances that are violating the secrecy law and better that way" my father sadly answers my godfather's question, congratulations father you managed to break the atmosphere of joy that was here

November 10, 1969

My father ended up losing the re-election the magic world was shocked by the news as my father was very popular at the time the newspapers were already giving him the victory but his opponent Eugenia Jenkins defeated my father in the elections which was something that no one ever expected, man father said it was fraudulent that if he wanted he could have coated this election but as he already wanted to leave office he leaves the magical people thinking there is no justice in the elections in the magical world which is a good thing for him to try the election after the second fall of the dark lord
