I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 377
c374 Typical ones captured
In fact, Amelia’s operation was also very successful.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the four students were taken away, everyone in the castle acted mysteriously, with an expression that said, “Don’t tell anyone, I’ll just tell you about this.”
And those who heard it would express with a serious face that they were strict with their mouths and would not talk nonsense.
Then, the person who said it turned around and went to find the next person, and the person who listened was eager to chat with someone else.
In fact, it’s not surprising that everyone behaved like this. You know how many years has this happened? Aurors directly entered Hogwarts and took away students?
With everyone’s unremitting efforts and strict confidentiality, within two hours, this matter had spread throughout the castle, and perhaps only the owl and the toad were kept in the dark.
And the rumors became more and more outrageous, and various magically modified versions were born.
…
“Harry? Are you okay?”
As one of the eyewitnesses to the incident, after finishing his thirty-seventh retelling, Ron finally discovered that his friend was alone in a daze.
After much hesitation, he decided to take a short break and tell the story he had just conceived in his mind in the evening.
“If you ask me, not many people filled out the questionnaire seriously. The only blame is that they are too stupid…the same parents, what do they think?”
Ron sneered indifferently, then sat down to comfort Harry. From his expression, he could tell that Harry also belonged to the type who didn’t fill it out seriously.
“I know, but don’t you think the Ministry of Magic is making a fuss out of a molehill? Some even say they will be expelled and put in Azkaban.”
Harry was not worried about himself, but the bizarreness of the matter made him a little curious. Was he taken away from the school by the Ministry of Magic just because of a form?
Hearing this, Ron also subconsciously replied: “The Ministry of Magic has convulsions from time to time, not once or twice, but there are indeed more weird things this year, and during the summer vacation, my dad said that someone proposed to open a magic school specifically for squibs. Training class…”
Ron’s chatty nature made Ron unwilling to stop for a moment, but the effect was also significant, and Harry was obviously led astray by him.
“You mean to open a squib magic school?”
“It’s a training class!” Ron curled his lips and corrected with some dissatisfaction: “With that fake wand, they can only cast three or four magics in total. I really don’t know what training is needed.”
“Maybe it’s because of something else.” Maybe it was because the Squib was too far away from him. In short, Harry didn’t dwell on the problem and continued:
“Anyway, this year was a bit strange. I subconsciously used a cleaning spell during the summer vacation, but the result was not what I expected. I received a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.”
You know, the Ministry of Magic’s enforcement rate of the Secrecy Act was once second to none. The first time he was warned, the second time he was punished directly, without any room for negotiation.
But now, the Ministry of Magic’s laissez-faire attitude towards the Secrecy Act, coupled with what happened this morning, four people were taken away from the castle with just a questionnaire, all this gave Harry a bad feeling.
There are many smart people, not only Harry, but many people in Hogwarts also reflected on the Ministry of Magic’s actions in the morning.
…
Principal’s office.
After Professor McGonagall took out the four people from Gryffindor, she left the crowd. She couldn’t bear to see the pitiful eyes of those students.
“Albus, I don’t understand!” Professor McGonagall finally asked her doubts.
In fact, she is very clear about whether it is a questionnaire or the crisis faced by Muggles.
What really puzzled her was that Dumbledore didn’t stop the Ministry of Magic’s attempts to win over people.
Yes, to win over people’s hearts, the so-called advance preparation is nothing more than selling it to these little Muggle-born wizards.
And this is the most difficult thing for Professor McGonagall to accept. In her principle, school is just a place for little wizards to learn, not a place for politicians to make investments.
Don’t talk about preparations in advance. She knows better than anyone else the real power of the Ministry of Magic. Even if the little wizards don’t prepare anything, the Ministry of Magic will take care of it in the end and will not give up any immediate family member.
At this moment, no one will ignore these little Muggle-born wizards, because they represent not only individuals, but also a huge group behind them.
Pure blood, mixed blood, Muggle-born wizards, and squibs, the future world will definitely be dominated by these four types of people.
Back to business.
After hearing Professor McGonagall’s doubts, Dumbledore did not want to be perfunctory, but directly explained to him seriously:
“Minerva, the entire International Federation of Wizards is like a giant now. Any problem in any small link will affect its overall balance.”
Having said this, Dumbledore paused for a moment, seeming to organize his next words.
“And the Ministry of Magic’s wooing and selling is not limited to Hogwarts, and it’s not just targeting these little wizards. Because, someone is trying to provoke confrontation…”
At this point, Dumbledore stopped. He believed that with Minerva’s wisdom, it would be easy to guess the cause of the matter.
The room fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Professor McGonagall seemed to have figured out the problem and said somewhat decadently:
“Well, you’re right! There’s more to the world than just Hogwarts.”
Hearing this, Dumbledore forced a smile on his face, “I’m glad you understand, believe me! This is all just short-lived.”
“Hey! I hope so.” With a sigh, Professor McGonagall had to admit that the Ministry of Magic’s current approach was correct, and at the same time he understood Dumbledore’s connivance and acquiescence.
No matter what means are used, we cannot cause chaos now, let alone provoke conflicts.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any big problems. Even if there are any hidden dangers, they will be dealt with in advance.” Dumbledore assured again.
But when he talked about handling hidden dangers, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Perhaps out of trust, Professor McGonagall was obviously relieved after hearing Dumbledore’s assurance, and her slightly decadent expression gradually recovered.
But at this moment, she remembered another thing.
“By the way, what’s going on with Ian? He doesn’t want to go to class, and you agreed. Now he’s dropping out of school, and you agreed without saying a word. Are you just going to let him act like this?”
Facing Professor McGonagall’s question, Dumbledore explained with a wry smile: “It’s not my fault. To be honest, it was not me who gave Ian the rights, but Hogwarts itself.”
“The rights given to him by Hogwarts? You mean…” As if thinking of something, Professor McGonagall showed surprise in her eyes.
Under her gaze, Dumbledore nodded slowly.
