Chapter 31 The Hogwarts Suspension

"Minister, here is a petition that you need to read."

The female secretary who came to deliver the letter was just transferred. The last time she was said to have been sent to America as a diplomatic escort because of panic.

"Put it there...I'll be watching for a while."

The minister was a little weak and his face was a little pale.

The female secretary withdrew with great color.

"I didn't expect that this magic would be so expensive."

While there was no one, he lay on the chair and took a short rest.

He thought that in the end he would only lose part of his body forever, but he did not expect that he would take away his life for several years, which was almost a sacrifice.

He is not young anymore, and he almost didn't recover from this moment, but a few subordinates gave him emergency treatment.

Fortunately, this consumption is a one-time cost, and it is not really irreparable. At least the potions in stock can still be relieved.

"Well... the petition, unanimous opinion on the closure of Hogwarts, a joint petition from parents."

Secretary Donald carefully searched for the pile of documents on the table and pulled out the recent Hogwarts.

"The legendary secret room of Hogwarts was opened, and the monster released killed a female student of Ravenclaw, which sounded like a legend."

This document was three days ago. I remember that he was busy dealing with other things, especially preparing the winter plan material reserves, which took him quite a bit of time.

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged minister had difficulty making a decision.

He picked up the so-called "petition" and carefully read the signatures of each parent on it.

Malfoy, Weasley, Black, Porter, Albert, Burstrod, Carlo, Greengrass...

Almost all families, whether pure blood or not, agreed unanimously that Hogwarts suspended school this time.

Their children are all in Hogwarts, which should have been quite safe. They are protected by various defensive magic for thousands of years, and even the Gringott may not be safe there.

But now, a student is dead.

This means that schools are no longer safe.

Then these parents naturally don’t want to sit idly by and watch their children fall into life crisis - even if Hogwarts explains it, it will be ineffective.

In addition to Hogwarts, there are two well-known magic schools in Europe, and at worst, they can handle school transfer procedures.

Anyway, for wizards, the journey across national borders is not too far. Whether it is the door key, the Flying Road Network, or the Flying Broom, it can still be rushed through the way of a Muggle.

"Well, this kind of vicious incident happened, and it seems that the school had to be temporarily suspended. At least before the background was found out, Armando Dippet probably couldn't hold on, right?"

After thinking about it, Minister Donald drafted a notice and tied it to an owl's leg by the window.

"Go to bring it to the principal of Hogwarts."

The weather outside the window was a little wet, and the owl flapped its wings in the rain, slid over and disappeared soon.

When he sat back in his seat, he picked up another document, and he had accumulated a lot of things in the past three days.

"About the pursuit of Dragon Canyon poachers, approved."

"Diagon Alley smuggled the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider, sealed the store, and imposed a fine."

"Well, I found that the dementor, which was not under the control of the Ministry of Magic, was suspected to be wandering from France... This dangerous dark creature was directly wiped out."

··············

He handled various things in an orderly manner, and many of the reported matters already had detailed opinions on handling them, but in the end, he, the minister, needed to approve the implementation or not.

In these aspects, the minister actually has great power.

Let me put it this way, even if he is a thousand-year-old family, he will not dare to neglect it at any time.

When it is really necessary, he can also deal with five or six so-called pure blood families, and it is easy.

But then I had to face the other party's counterattack.

Pure blood, they fought each other and pulled each other back, but over the years they have accumulated a lot of wealth and connections and have considerable influence in the magic world.

Strike out the pure blood family, divide some of them, and then win over some, promote mixed-race wizards, and protect wizards from Muggle-born...

This is the way he has always insisted on in politics.

The general trend is that the status of pure-blooded nobles will be constantly impacted with the growth of Muggle Wizards, and class contradictions are becoming increasingly obvious. Grasping this difficult-to-change general trend, and then following the trend and coordinating everywhere is basically his presidency of the Ministry of Magic's post-ruling philosophy.

He himself has no children, and there is no so-called camp. He only cares about the order and stability of the magic world.

For this reason, even if you sell Hogwarts' interests, you don't hesitate.

This is a truly ideal politician, not a politician who plays with power.

Soon, he approved all the backlog of important documents and began to read those trivial and less important reports.

"A new magic school in London?"

"Clock Tower Magic School, the principal was once the honorary leader of the Chinese Wizards Alliance (recognized by Taoist Association of Asia), and has a magical heritage that is different from Europe......"

“Now, enrollment is global, all interested parties can participate in the admission test, and qualified students will be admitted……………”

The report from Clock Tower is not long, with less than two thousand words, but it has a lot of meaning.

"Isn't this just a sleepy pillow? Hogwarts stopped school and students just moved to school. This new school is just right."

Donald is happy to see it.

"Hogwarts monopolizes education across the UK, which is really unfavorable. It is also a good thing to add a new magic school."

Any new magic school is theoretically required to apply to the local Ministry of Magic.

This Clock Tower School obviously did not go through this procedure - but, before that, there was no second similar school in the UK.

So, in principle, the error cannot be found.

"Well, this is a blind spot in the regulations. People from the Law Department need to work overtime and issue an education law to fill this loophole."

“There will no longer be allowed to be deemed illegal without the Ministry of Magic.”

He wrote down his handling opinions on the blank paper and threw them casually. The handling opinions were automatically deformed and folded in the air, turned into paper airplanes, flew out, and went straight into the stairs along here.

It will send itself to the corresponding department, which is a new message transmission magic, suitable for sending messages within a larger department like the Ministry of Magic.

Before this, the Ministry of Magic used owls to send messages in the Ministry, but the little guys made the place mess around.

Owls fly around the Ministry of Magic, leaving behind feathers and various excrement, which almost everyone can't bear.

However, at that time, the owl management department had only two new people, and they dealt with thousands of owls' miscellaneous items, and once became the most unpopular department.

Finally, after the current minister came to power, he banned the method of sending messages from the owls in the ministry and changed to this new method of sending messages.

Although paper planes cannot fly too far, they are enough to use in the department, which is not much distance.

As for external reasons, some owls are still retained, and these little guys are very helpful for long-distance travel in Shanghai.
