I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 376

c373 Students taken away by Aurors

Seeing Hermione looking around and hesitating, Ian suddenly wanted to laugh out loud.

“You two Jedi are hiding something from me. This is not a question.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hermione denied it like a line of reflex.

“Don’t be curious about everything. Since you have gained Professor Dumbledore’s trust, you should complete your work well.”

Hearing such a blunt change of topic, Ian didn’t continue to ask any more questions. They were just two children, and they couldn’t cause any trouble even if they were put together.

The most important reason why he didn’t continue to ask questions was because of Hermione’s character.

He knew very well that whether it was in the original novel or in real life, it could actually confirm this, that is, Hermione’s mouth was not as tight as usual.

As long as it’s something she doesn’t want to say, she can’t get it out no matter how hard she tries.

Back to business.

Since Hermione wanted to change the subject, Ian followed her lead.

“Don’t worry about the Forbidden Forest. At least I will take this job seriously. I will find Professor Pomona and find a way to get some improved poisonous tentacles to plant, and plant these plants around the Forbidden Forest. To prevent those energetic little lions from getting in.”

Hearing this, Hermione couldn’t help but lower her face and pursed her lips angrily.

“This is discrimination. Not everyone who goes to the Forbidden Forest is a Gryffindor! Moreover, the spikes of the poisonous tentacles are highly venomous. If bitten, it will be fatal…”

“So, I asked Professor Pomona to improve them.” Ian interrupted Hermione’s textbook explanation.

And he is not aimless, he is really confident about making improvements.

How helpful are bacterial solutions in herbal medicine? Just by looking at Snape’s attitude, Ian had already guessed this.

And as a member of the potions team, he has also seen the transformation of other potions masters.

The most obvious point is that the bacterial liquid that was once just an experimental material has now become a hot food, and some people even quarrel over the distribution of the bacterial liquid.

The root cause of all this is that bacterial liquid has unparalleled effects on herbal medicine.

In the past, it would take decades or even hundreds of years to improve a magical plant, but now with the cultivation of bacterial fluid, this time has been shortened countless times.

At the same time, the bacterial liquid also made the masters of herbal medicine suddenly in the limelight, and they once again became the most profitable and honorable profession. At least no one can shake their status in a short period of time.

…

Although Hermione didn’t know this, it didn’t affect her trust in the professors.

She had already given up discussing this topic when she heard Ian mention Professor Pomona’s name.

“Then do you also want to keep a hound? Or I will lend Crookshanks to you. It is very smart and can at least help you detect students who violate school rules in time.”

“Crookshanks? Forget it! Let him stay with you.” He was still a little unable to protect the proud Crookshanks.

“I plan to buy a purebred tanuki and raise it from an early age. As you know, this 3X magical animal will only recognize one owner in its life.”

Ian has never changed his love for cats. In the past, his life was precarious and he couldn’t keep them. Now that everything is on track, it’s time to buy a cat.

Hearing that Crookshanks was rejected, Hermione didn’t take it seriously. Instead, she extended the invitation with great interest: “Okay, as long as you like it. Do you want me to accompany you to choose?”

Faced with this kind of scoring question, it is impossible for Ian to answer wrongly.

“Of course! I plan to go to Diagon Alley during the Christmas vacation. We can also buy some interesting things along the way and have a magical Christmas at home this year.”

In this era when the Secrecy Act is ineffective, as long as it doesn’t go too far, the Ministry of Magic will basically ignore it and even deliberately condone it.

You know, this was something that was unthinkable in the past.

The most famous lantern incident in 1872 was because the Christmas tree was decorated with lanterns using magic. As a result, the person involved was sentenced to three years in prison. This incident caused an uproar at the time.

…

While Ian and Hermione were discussing how to celebrate Christmas this year, a heated discussion was also taking place in the principal’s office in the main building of the castle.

Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, was sitting on a chair. At this moment, she was looking at Vice-Principal Minerva McGonagall with puzzled eyes.

“I don’t know what the point of your objection is. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. There is no doubt about that. Besides, it’s just a formality. We don’t really want to imprison them in Azkaban.”

“I’m not denying that wrongdoing goes unpunished! But they are only 12 years old, and Hogwarts will punish them accordingly.”

Professor McGonagall knew that she was in the wrong, but she still tried to persuade the other party, but her tone could not help but slow down a lot.

In fact, in her heart, she also believed that those students did go a bit too far. Before the summer vacation, she repeatedly warned them to fill in the questionnaire carefully, and even agreed to exempt them from summer homework for the first time.

But the result is… four people share the same parents! Even if you are perfunctory, you still need to be careful.

“Sorry! It’s impossible for me to agree to this matter. Although it is an insignificant investigation, their perfunctory attitude will make many people follow suit.” Amelia directly rejected Professor McGonagall’s proposal.

In Amelia’s eyes, it really doesn’t matter whether students fill it out carefully.

After all, the Ministry of Magic has been in operation for a long time, and all wizards and wizards from Muggle families in Britain, including their family information, have been recorded.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to release news and give young wizards and their families some time to prepare.

The essence of the questionnaire is actually kindness within the rules and care for underage wizards.

Just like Penelo, he brought his mother to London early, and it was all due to the questionnaire.

Of course, if you encounter an extremely stupid student, the Ministry of Magic will be helpless.

After all, it’s not yet time to make things completely public. Many things still require cooperation with the Muggle government. Chaos will not benefit anyone.

But not caring doesn’t mean they can ignore it.

Some people are not stupid enough. The scary thing is that they have to infect others with their stupidity!

This is why Amelia is determined to carry out punishment.

When she saw four identical forms, she had already made up her mind to catch a model.

If the Ministry of Magic remains silent and takes no action in the face of such perfunctory behavior, it will only make this goodwill go down the drain.

…

When he saw that Professor McGonagall wanted to say something more, Dumbledore interrupted him directly in advance and said:

“Amelia, Hogwarts will follow the orders of the Ministry of Magic.”

In this matter, he was on the side of the Ministry of Magic, and the reason why he remained silent at first was just because of Minerva’s face.

After seeing Dumbledore’s statement, Professor McGonagall stopped insisting, “I’ll inform those students!”

Seeing Professor McGonagall leaving, Amelia motioned with her eyes to the two accompanying Aurors to follow.

Now that we have decided to catch role models, we must make a big fanfare to let everyone know what the Ministry of Magic is doing.

Take people away quietly? This effect has been doubled.

As a former Hogwarts graduate, Amelia knew very well what was going on in the castle. As long as two or three people saw it, the entire castle would know about it in less than half a day.
