Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

The newspaper gave a detailed introduction to the monster chaos that occurred in Hogsmeade village yesterday afternoon. It clearly posted several close-up GIF photos of the monsters, and stated that these monsters would not be wiped out, but would die for a period of time. Then resurrected.The article also mentioned that when the Ministry of Magic discovered this characteristic, it immediately used special cages to preserve the bodies of monsters that had temporarily lost their vital characteristics to prevent them from harming people again after their resurrection.

I don’t know if it’s because of the pressure from the Ministry of Magic, but the news didn’t include any words to smear the Ministry of Magic. Instead, they solemnly promoted the glorious achievements of the wizards who participated in the war. The article also mentioned that a few fish that slipped through the net entered the Holocaust. The forbidden forest of Gwarts School, but has been expelled by the teachers in the school in time.

Lee Jordan took the newspaper and flipped through the other sections with strange eyes. He looked at the other three roommates with a look of doubt on life and said, "Eric, did you buy a fake Daily Prophet? Isn't that right?" Are you pretending to be an academic newspaper?"

Fred took out the newspaper from his hand and read the signature at the bottom of the article: "The author of this article is Barnabas Guffey. If it is him, it should be the Ministry of Magic. My father said that since After he became the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, he only wrote one article about the downfall of the mysterious man, and he did not write articles himself at other times."

Eric was already dressed at this time. When his roommate wasn't paying attention, he thought about it and wiped the Merlin ring off his finger, stuffed it into the system backpack, and stood in front of the window looking at the figures returning from the Forbidden Forest on the playground. , reminding the three people who were still discussing: "It seems that the professors and Aurors have returned. Should we go to the Herbology class first?"

The three of them stopped discussing the report. George's bed was next to Eric's bed. He picked up the curriculum on his bedside, looked at it and complained: "Why do we have three herbal medicine classes a week? ?”

Complaints are complaints, classes are still going on. The four of them came out of the dormitory. On the way downstairs, they found that in the lounge and the corridor outside, students gathered in twos and threes, holding letters or prophets sent from home. Daily newspaper, discussing yesterday's and today's events.

The four of them also met several prefects from the college on the fifth floor. They were all sitting on a bench in the corridor worriedly, talking quietly. Eric saw that Charlie also took out a scroll. He handed the parchment to the classmates next to him, pointing to the words on it.

Charlie also participated in the battle in the Forbidden Forest yesterday. He should know where the professors killed the monsters. If you have time, you can ask him about it.

Eric withdrew his gaze and quickly followed his roommate in front.

"correct!"

When the four of them came to the foyer on the first floor, Lee Jordan suddenly remembered something and screamed strangely. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly asked Fred and George: "I said I have always Forgot something? You went to Hogsmeade yesterday and didn't you encounter those monsters?"

Fred twitched his lips speechlessly, looked at his roommate whose reflex arc had been growing all night, and said speechlessly: "When the two of us went to Hogsmeade, there were no traces of those monsters, and we were also afraid of being attacked. Those senior students found out and bought some random things and came back."

"However, we also missed a big scene!"

George said with a sad expression, looked at each other with his brother, and the two of them sighed.

Eric punched them both and said in disgust: "Pull them down. If you two really encounter those monsters, we will probably go to help you visit your graves today next year."

Just as the four of them were chatting and laughing, holding books in their arms, they walked out of the foyer, crossed the lawn, and followed the outer wall of the castle to the greenhouse at the back, when they vaguely heard Professor McGonagall arguing with two wizards.

Eric turned his gaze and saw the appearance of the two people. One of them was about the same height as Professor McGonagall, well-dressed, and his light gray hair was neatly combed and clinging to his scalp. The small patch of beard under the nose also seemed to have been trimmed with a ruler. He stood there so straight, neither humble nor overbearing, that he was arguing with Professor McGonagall.

The other person looked short and chubby, with messy gray hair, wearing a lavender-trimmed pinstripe wizard robe, playing with a bowler hat in his hand, and had a worried expression on his face.

The four of them looked at each other and stood next to a pillar at the corner of the castle, wanting to listen to the conversation between Professor McGonagall and them.

"The person holding the hat is Cornelius Fudge, the current Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and the other is Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Fred recognized the two people standing in front of Professor McGonagall and whispered to Eric and Li beside him.

Eric looked at the appearance of the two people carefully and couldn't help but complain: "Are there no other officials in the Ministry of Magic? Why do I feel like their names have appeared so many times in the past two months?"

"There is no way, who has the highest voice for the two of them to be elected as the next Minister of Magic." George curled his lips and continued.

……

"Minerva, not to mention the magical world, even in the Muggle world, lightning strikes often happen. For such a trivial matter to alert the Aurors to come to the Forbidden Forest for inspection, I think you are making a big deal out of a molehill."

Barty Crouch looked at Professor McGonagall with a serious expression: "As for the corpses you brought back, Amos Diggory has just confirmed that they are a large bowtruckle and a mutated drill. Ground lizard.”

The wrinkles on Professor McGonagall's face were trembling, and Eric could see that she was being extremely patient: "Barty, I know what you mean, but after all, there are so many children in the school, and ensuring their safety is equally important." It is also the responsibility of the school and the Ministry of Magic. Since you are so resistant to our invitation to inspect the Forbidden Forest today, as the Vice-Principal, I would like to express my position here. No matter what happens at Hogwarts in the future, the Ministry of Magic has no authority. Do you dare to agree on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to interfere in the management of the school?"

After hearing Professor McGonagall's merciless reply, Mr. Crouch's tone became stronger: "In that case, Minerva..."

Cornelius Fudge, who was standing aside, suddenly raised his hand, interrupted Crouch's words, pulled his arm and said: "Old man, Hogsmeade was attacked just yesterday. The school and Hog With Maud so close, it is possible that some fish could slip through the net and run over. Minerva is also worried about the safety of the school, so please come and help with the search. Besides, it is your and my duty to maintain the stability of the magic world. Barty, don't be like this. Excited!"

After saying that, Fudge turned to Professor McGonagall and continued: "Sorry, Minerva, Barty has been accompanying Digory and the others since last night to study those monsters. He didn't sleep all night. He may not be in a good state of mind, but Digory Gorey has already analyzed the two corpses in the school. I think there won't be any other incidents. The Aurors will check the school area later. If it is confirmed to be safe, we will withdraw the team and go back. You also I know that Minister Bagno takes yesterday’s incident very seriously, and the repair project of Hogsmeade is also on a very tight deadline. The Ministry of Magic’s manpower is really tight right now, you see…”

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, looked at the two old friends in front of her, and said helplessly: "In that case, you two can make arrangements as appropriate."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall stopped talking to the two of them and strode towards the castle.

Seeing this scene, the four Erics stood up immediately, pretended to be passing by, walked out from the corner of the castle, and met Professor McGonagall face to face.

Professor McGonagall lowered her head, looked out from the top of her square glasses, looked at the four little wizards in front of her, and said with a kind expression: "I hope you are not late for class, children."
