A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 687 Student List
After Ms. Burns left, Felix and Professor McGonagall discussed for a while, and then came out of the staff lounge.

All students were ordered to come down with their luggage.

"...It is currently arranged like this," Professor McGonagall said, "Young wizards from Muggle families need to wait for a while, and a professor will send you back. The Ministry of Magic will also send a commissioner to the wizarding families living in the Muggle community. Give safety instructions."

The students were sitting on the bench with their luggage in their arms, with listless expressions. Justin Fenrieri, who was at the dining table at Hufflepuff College, stood up and shouted, "Professor, are wizards really exposed?"

Professor McGonagall glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "That's right, Mr. Fenliery."

The auditorium was suddenly gloomy. These students were still unable to figure out the impact of the exposure of the magic world. They only knew that this was a very bad thing, or they actually knew it in their hearts - Grindelwald used it for a year Time to tell how to guard against Muggles and hide yourself.

Felix cleared his throat.

"The Ministry of Magic already has a plan to deal with this, so you don't need to worry too much. But in the next period of time, you will probably hear all kinds of rumors. I ask you to prohibit any activities that may expose your identity as a wizard during the holidays. In the meantime, keep an eye out for announcements from the Ministry of Magic and listen to the radio..."

He said a bunch of specific measures, and the students gradually came to their senses.

At this time, Sirius and Percy came over, and Sirius said to Harry: "I made an agreement with Molly, you will come to live in the shabby for a while, she welcomes you very much. The fireplace in Felix's office can be used, you From there-"

"What about you?" Harry couldn't help asking.

"I'll stay." Sirius said without thinking, he glanced at Lupine, Moody and the others, "We need to talk to Felix, see if we can help, or reorganize the Order of the Phoenix or something... In any case, I should join the Ministry for the time being."

"Then I'll stay too." Harry said, Sirius stared wide-eyed, Harry quickly said: "I'm going to be an adult in a month, not to mention that this matter concerns the entire wizarding world, if there is a war, no matter where I hide It's no use anywhere, is it? The war will come to me one day, and I don't want to be picked out like a goblin."

Sirius looked at him hesitantly.

Harry's tone was more urgent. "I think even if Dumbledore is still there, he will not refuse me to contribute my own strength. He hopes that I will do it! During the last period of his life, I have been following his classes, and I am very grateful to Grindelwald. Understood..." He said incoherently.

"Okay, I agree." Sirius said suddenly, seeing Harry's startled face, he broke into a smile, "I knew you wouldn't hide behind, I just discussed with Remus, he let I'm asking for your opinion. But you have to come back to class when school starts." He finally said seriously.

"Let's talk about it later," Harry said vaguely, "I don't know if the school will be open or not. This kind of thing happened." He was just making an excuse, but Sirius sighed worriedly, " You're right that there is a real risk of Hogwarts closing if the situation doesn't stabilize before term begins."

In times of turmoil, of course people prefer to stay with their families.

"I'll stay too." Hermione said, who listened for a while, "I don't want to go home and do nothing but stay in front of the TV and listen to the news of war between wizards and Muggles! But I have to go home first, Mom and Dad should be waiting for me, they must be worried."

"And me," said Ron.

"Plus the two of us," said Fred and George in unison.

"I also hope to do something." Neville said earnestly, and he looked back at his parents. They had already retired, but they stayed here without hesitation.

Just as Ginny was about to speak, Mrs. Weasley walked over, glaring at them suspiciously, "What are you discussing?" "No!" Ron, Fred, and George reflexively said, and Ron quickly Said, "Mum, Ginny is terrified, and she wants to get back to the Burrow as soon as possible."

Ginny meowed angrily and was reluctantly pulled away by Mrs Weasley.

Soon, the staff of the Ministry of Magic appeared. Because the little wizard and the parents had to be transported back and forth at one time, the Ministry of Magic specially sent two people from the Floo management team to renovate and maintain the fireplace in Professor McGonagall's office to prevent There was an accident.

The students lined up and were led by Professor Sprout through the fireplace, while Filch stood guard at the school gate, receiving the wizarding parents who got the news and couldn't wait to come to the school.Other teachers are responsible for maintaining order, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Felix sat in the corner of the auditorium, unfolding the Marauder's Map and observing it carefully.

Because of the accidental exposure of the wizarding community, a series of chain reactions caused Hogsmeade, the only village in England composed entirely of wizards, to flood into a large number of people. Some of them were foreigners who stayed in the UK after attending the funeral, and some came here after hearing the news. People who took refuge or inquired about the inside story, as well as strikers sent by the Ministry of Magic to patrol and maintain law and order, so the map was full of dense dots, and Felix couldn't find useful information.

Sirius came over with a large group of people, and hearing their ideas, Felix agreed almost immediately.

"I have a hunch that the next few months will be very critical, and the Ministry of Magic will be short of people. Since you have this idea, it is not a problem for the Ministry of Magic to come up with some temporary identities. A few students can do some work after sorting out documents and passing on news. Such trivial matters... In fact, most people do this kind of work, if there is a battle, the situation is estimated to be extremely bad."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, he thought the professor would not agree.

"The Order of the Phoenix—" said Sirius.

"I suggest that you temporarily merge into the Ministry of Magic," Felix said, "The situation is different from dealing with Voldemort now. Don't worry about the Ministry of Magic leaking everywhere like a sieve. You can form several teams to suppress the domestic black people." Wizards, don’t let them make trouble, and form a pan-magic alliance—”

"Pan-Magic Alliance?" Hermione and Sirius asked in unison.

"That's right," Felix briefly explained the concept, "Miss Granger should be no stranger to this term, the earliest similar concept appeared in one of her papers, which I later handed over to Ami Leah."

Harry and Ron exchanged glances.

"vomit (spew)?"

"It's the House-Elf Rights Association!" said Hermione disapprovingly.

Harry and Ron grinned.

"That's it," Felix said. "The intelligent race in the wizarding world includes not only wizards, but also other magical creatures that are classified as humans because their civilization and wisdom are close to wizards. We want to win them over."

"Why?" Sirius asked puzzled.

"Two reasons. First, if there are only wizards, the goal is too single. We are worried that the Muggle government will preconceive the wizards as the people living in their own land and ask for the right to rule over wizards. I believe that most wizards won't agree;"

"Let Muggles rule wizards?" Lucius Malfoy said indifferently and proudly with a grim expression, "Should I change 'Merlin is above' to 'Queen is above'?"

Moody mocked harshly: "It's not like your ancestors didn't say that before."

Lucius Malfoy gave him a nasty look.

Felix continued as if he didn't hear it:

"What's more, I personally think that there is a huge gap between the lifestyles of wizards and ordinary people in all aspects, which cannot be bridged in a short time. If you let go of the restrictions all of a sudden and allow each other to infiltrate each other's lives, it will inevitably attract endless Therefore, at least until the negotiation results come out, there can only be one external communication channel between the two parties.”

There is another thing Felix didn't say, that is, even after a long period of time after the negotiation results come out, the wizarding world will not be completely open to the outside world, but several communication windows will be set up.For example, build an island.

"This leads to the second reason," he raised his finger, "since there are not only wizards in the wizarding world who are an intelligent race, there must be other voices. As the negotiations progress, the Muggle government's understanding of the wizarding world will continue to increase. They It is very possible to bypass wizards and negotiate with other races separately, promise benefits, and tempt to win over... I am particularly worried about the position of goblins. Therefore, the establishment of the Pan-Magical Alliance is imperative."

The conversation continued, but Harry quietly tugged on the sleeves of Lahermione and Ron, and they backed away, with Neville following hesitantly.Harry was about to speak when Ginny emerged from the air, her hair disheveled, as if she had just been in a fight.

"I dumped my mother," she said quietly.

Neville was dumbfounded. He lived in the Black Ancestral House for a while before the fifth grade started, so he was no stranger to the scene of Mrs. Weasley losing his temper. When he privately expressed his awe of Mrs. Weasley to Harry, The phrase used was "somewhat like my grandmother."

Ron gave a thumbs up.Ginny rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, stop it. Harry, what do you want to say?" Hermione asked.

"Let's go and ask the other sixth and seventh graders," Harry whispered, "to see if they're looking for a summer internship. Take note of these people's names. It might be useful. You've also heard Now, the Ministry of Magic will be very busy in the coming time."

"Will it work?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely," Neville said excitedly, "Just like me—I don't want to sit still, there must be many people who think the same as me."

"Unless they're cowards," said Ginny.

"Don't say that, Ginny." Harry shook his head. "Everyone thinks differently." He thought of all kinds of people he saw in Dumbledore's Pensieve. Some wizards avoided war and hated fame and fortune. Not interested, but has made outstanding achievements in other fields.

"Try members of the Front Lookout and the Rune Club first," said Harry at last.

They dispersed, with a piece of parchment in their hands, and tiptoed to find the target. They did this with a certain noble heart, and when they met again, they already had a handful of lists in their hands.

"If only half the people on the list answered the call, they could help a lot," said Harry cheerfully.

"Finally there is good news." Hermione also said with a smile.

That's when Ron faltered, and the others looked at him questioningly, and he muttered, "Well—I'm not sure that's good news, but—"

"Ron, get out of your way!" Ginny yelled.

"Okay," Ron whispered, "you come with me." He led a few people out of the auditorium, standing on the stone steps, the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling. "I've been trying to find a chance to say it, but I don't think it's the right time." He took a deep breath and gripped his wand tightly.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, he transformed into a sleek hound.

"Merlin's beard!" Ginny looked shocked.

"Cool," said Harry sincerely. "You've mastered the Animagus."

Hermione hammered the dog's head, smiling brightly, "When did you practice it?"

"Congratulations," said Neville.

The hounds circled them briskly, and Harry felt a sudden rush of longing, and he glanced back furtively. The hall behind him was empty, and he, too, was transfigured, a stag.Immediately afterwards, Neville and Hermione also turned into Animagus forms.

Ginny looked around, only she was still human, she couldn't help but pouted.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley," Felix's voice came from a distance, "I'm paying attention. If I read it correctly, Ginny should—er, am I at the zoo?"

Ginny turned her head sharply, her two hands were tightly grasped on the two antlers of the stag, as if she was about to wrestle with it, a tortoiseshell cat, a hound, and a beaver watched with relish.Of course, they all turned their heads at this moment, looking at Professor Haip and Mrs. Weasley who were also stunned in place, with Sirius and Lupine behind them.

A moment of silence.

A black shadow jumped out, it was Sirius, he turned into a big shaggy black dog before everyone realized it, playing and jumping around them, looking extremely happy.

This change caused Mrs. Weasley, who was about to speak, to shut up, her lips were tightly pursed, and anger burst out of her eyes.

As if that wasn't messy enough, Felix coughed twice, and took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket. He flipped off the watch cover and pretended to check the time, but the next second, a sniffing watch came from inside. rushed out.

Using both hands and feet, Varun quickly climbed onto Felix's shoulders. Only then did he have time to pay attention to the people around him, and then his expression froze.

"Hey (zoo)?"

……

The clock struck eleven, and the Prime Minister knocked on the door. He had just had a stressful day, and sent away several MPs, and finally he was left alone in the office.He took off his glasses and sat down on a chair wearily.

He didn't know what he was expecting, but with something so big going on, there must be something going on 'the other side'.Therefore, he resolutely rejected several staff members, even though his mind was blank and he was about to accept the questioning from the parliament.

A soft cough came from behind.

The prime minister froze, and even though it had happened several times in his career, he couldn't get used to it, and he didn't think he would ever get used to it.He could almost imagine a small, frog-like man in a silver wig staring at him from the grimy canvas behind the chair that all his efforts had failed to remove.

"To the Muggle Prime Minister. An urgent meeting is requested. Please answer immediately. Sincerely, Burns."

"Well, well, I agree," said the Prime Minister, and he murmured again, "as if I refused to be useful." Then his eyes were fixed uncontrollably on the fireplace, where emerald flames were burning in the grate , a woman with a monocle and a serious expression came out.

The Prime Minister knew her - the other minister, the one who succeeded Fudge.They met twice. The first time was when Burns came to power. The Prime Minister had a good impression of this woman. Although she always had a straight face, she was at least not as arrogant as her predecessor and was willing to answer his questions. Not looking at him like an idiot.

He stood up with a furious look on his face - he thought he had every reason to do so, but then the anger on his face froze, the flames rose again, and a young man appeared, the man had a good reason Looking around the room with interest, it took two seconds before he unhurriedly took a long leg and walked out from the grate.

A thought suddenly came to the prime minister's mind: the female minister in front of me will not step down, and that young man is her successor?Is the regime change in the wizarding world so rapid?
