I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 384

c380 The nearly forgotten dementor

After a short conversation, Ian also understood that the shortage mentioned by Fudge was not Aurors, strikers and other combat personnel, so he immediately recommended Lockhart.

Because what the Ministry of Magic really lacks is the special talents of the Magical Accidents and Disasters Department, to be precise, the Memory Cancellation Command, those wizards who are proficient in memory modification magic.

This is also the purpose of Fudge looking for Old Tom. After all, those partial memory magics are rarely touched by ordinary people. Only some wizards who have been wandering in the gray area for a long time, in order to reduce the trouble after being seen by Muggles, can I will understand more or less.

According to Fudge, the general framework has already been set. Ministers like them can only exercise their rights within the rules, and the International Federation of Wizards only looks at the results and not the means.

As for cheating and creating false pretenses? Sorry, no one dares to challenge Grindelwald’s authority yet, even if it is done secretly, because you have no idea how many saints are hidden around you.

The so-called large framework is actually a gentle way to modify Muggles’ memory and cognition. First get people in with coaxing and deception, then broadcast some scenes of Muggle sacrifices outside, and then invite some biological experts to interview.

Regardless of whether it’s an exaggeration or a distortion of the facts, it’s all about intimidation and comfort at the same time.

Under this situation, aren’t the remaining Muggles just kneading them at will? After finishing the work, everyone was grateful.

As for announcing the truth from the beginning? Stop joking, who will clean up the bigger mess?

After all, at least 30% of Muggles must not be able to enter the eco-city.

Back to business.

While the two were chatting, a dragon skin pocket appeared out of thin air on the table, and underneath the pocket was a half-torn shopping list.

Ian knew in his heart that Ella had purchased all the items on the list and was now delivering them in person.

“So what’s the matter with you? The most I can promise is to help you then and check on Lockhart. I can’t help you with anything else.”

Fudge kept talking for a long time without mentioning any specific help, which made Ian a little impatient.

When it came to observing people’s emotions, Fudge was even better than the old Malfoy. He immediately said: “That’s enough. The main thing is Lockhart. The diagnosis given by St. Mungo’s is that it cannot be treated…”

…

Watch Fudge leave.

After a while, Ian realized the other party’s purpose belatedly.

At first, he thought that Fudge really needed help from him, so after Old Tom left, Fudge deliberately stayed.

However, after the subsequent conversation, I felt that Fudge was just trying to catch a rabbit, and he happened to meet him, so he asked him to see if Lockhart could be saved with the purpose of hitting three shots without a date.

But now… I’m reviewing what happened just now, and Fudge’s decisiveness when he left. Ian was sure that this arrogant minister was just here to show off his reputation.

“It seems that the so-called big framework has just been set…” Ian murmured secretly.

Fudge was afraid that he would not know the latest news, so he took this opportunity to convey the news. And Ian is sure that even if there is no chance encounter today, Fudge will create an ‘accidental encounter’ within a day or two.

As for the special statement? Stop making trouble, only a fool would do this. Did you make a special trip to deliver the news to the other party? Or do you want to bring yourself down for nothing?

No matter how you look at it, it’s a loss. It’s good to owe favors, but it will consume intangible goodwill. With Fudge’s emotional intelligence, he will definitely choose a higher-level operation.

So ‘accidental encounter’ is the most perfect.

If you say it inadvertently, you won’t seem to be trying to please, but you can accurately convey the message and deepen the relationship. This is the real way to get twice the result with half the effort.

…

“What if I can’t figure this out? Wouldn’t his thoughts be in vain?” This thought suddenly flashed in Ian’s mind.

But then he was amused by his own thoughts. How could it be in vain? If he was really a fool with low emotional intelligence, others would definitely have ways to deal with fools, and it would only make things simpler and easier.

All actions are based on calculations and trade-offs. This is the case when you talk to people and talk about ghosts.

“Lockhart? Let’s go and see if you have the chance!” Ian then thought of Lockhart again.

It’s not that he sympathized with Lockhart, he was sincerely curious about what happened to the other person. He just modified his memory, how could he be diagnosed and cured.

You must know that St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, even though Neville’s parents were tortured to the point of mental collapse by the Cruciatus Curse, the diagnosis given was that it was difficult to treat, not incurable.

But thinking that the other party is in Azkaban, there is no way to avoid the presence of dementors.

Ian also did some research on dementors, but later as his strength improved and the threat of the apocalypse disappeared, the matter was dropped.

Now he just happened to take this opportunity to take a look, which could be regarded as putting an end to his original naivety.

But that was all a matter for later, the first priority was to rush to the Magical Beasts store to meet up with Hermione.

Turn on the pocket watch, 10:30 am.

Although there was still an hour before the agreed time, he was no longer prepared to stay here. He wandered all the way and it was almost time.

After picking up the dragon skin bag on the table and saying hello to the busy old Tom, Ian walked straight into Diagon Alley.

…

During the holidays, the number of customers in Diagon Alley also increased suddenly. Along the way, Hermione entered many stores, but bought few things.

There’s no way, after all, it’s not morning anymore. There are three or two customers in every store now. Just waiting in line has already taken a lot of time.

Just like here now, in the Magical Beauty Pharmacy, a French witch in front of her kept Hermione waiting for a quarter of an hour.

“If you don’t understand the language, don’t wander around!” Looking at the French witch who was still gesticulating there, Hermione also made a rare complaint.

But fortunately, this state did not last long. With the help of a kind-hearted person who is proficient in French, the problem was finally solved.

“Two bottles of foot serum, three bottles of anti-wrinkle potion…” Hermione quickly announced her shopping list.

She had calculated these things in advance. The former was bought for her own use, and the latter was a Christmas gift for her mother.

…

As if rushing to a scene, Hermione finally arrived at the Magical Beasts store before 12 o’clock.

Looking at Hermione who was covered in sweat, it was hard to imagine how anxious this girl was along the way.

“Why do you have to waste time? It won’t matter if it’s a little late.” Ian said while gently wiping Hermione’s forehead with a tissue.

Hermione didn’t refuse Ian’s move to wipe his sweat, and just stood there obediently.

But she still expressed her opinion on the matter of being late, “We have agreed on a time. There is no reason for you to wait for me here. Besides, I can’t catch up.”

“Okay, you’re right.” Ian didn’t want to refute Hermione on this matter. After all, he was the first beneficiary of this view.

“Let’s buy a pet first, and then go home early. When your parents come back, I have something to announce.”
