Chapter 685： student list

After Ms. Burns left, Felix and Professor McGonagall discussed for a while before emerging from the staff lounge.

All students were ordered to come down with their luggage.

"That's how it's currently arranged," Professor McGonagall said. "Young wizards from Muggle families will have to wait for a while, and a professor will send you back. The Ministry of Magic will also send commissioners to provide safety for wizard families living in the Muggle community. guide."

The students were sitting on the benches with their luggage in their arms, and their expressions were listless, and Justin Finnery at the Hufflepuff Academy table stood up and shouted:

"Professor, is the wizard really exposed?"

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

The auditorium was suddenly gloomy and gloomy. These students couldn't figure out the impact of the exposure of the magical world. They only knew that it was a very bad thing, or they actually knew it in their hearts - it took Grindelwald for a year. Time to tell how to guard against Muggles and hide yourself.

Felix cleared his throat.

"The Ministry of Magic has a plan to deal with this, 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 refrain from participating in any activity that may reveal your identity as a wizard during the holidays, keep an eye out for announcements from the Ministry of Magic, 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 live in the shabby for a while, and she will welcome you. The fireplace in Felix's office can be used, you guys Go from there-"

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

"I'm staying." Sirius said without hesitation, he glanced at Lupin and Moody, "We're going to talk to Felix,

To see if I can help, or reorganize the Order of the Phoenix or whatever, I should be joining the Ministry of Magic temporarily. "

"Then I'll stay too." Harry said, Sirius' eyes widened, Harry said quickly: "I'll be an adult in a month, and this matter concerns the entire wizarding world. If there is a war, I don't care where I hide. It's useless everywhere, isn't it? The war will burn on my head one day, and I don't want to be picked up like a goblin."

Sirius looked at him hesitantly.

Harry's tone was more urgent. "I don't think Dumbledore would refuse me to do my part even if he was still around, he wants me to do it! I followed him in lessons during the last part of his life and I am very fond of Grindelwald. Understood." He said incoherently.

"Okay, I agree," Sirius said suddenly, smiling at Harry's stunned face, "I knew you wouldn't hide behind, I just discussed it with Remus, and he let him I'll ask for your opinion. But you have to come back to class after school starts," he finally said solemnly.

"Let's talk about it later," Harry said vaguely. "It's not certain whether the school will open or not. It happened." He was just making an excuse, but Sirius sighed worriedly. " You're right, Hogwarts is really at risk of closing if the situation doesn't stabilize before school starts."

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

"I'm staying, too," said Hermione, who had been listening for a while. "I don't want to go home and do nothing but watch the TV to hear if there's a war between wizards and Muggles! But I have to go home first, my parents 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 want to do something too," Neville said seriously, looking back at his parents, who had retired but didn't hesitate to stay at the moment.

Just as Ginny was about to speak, Mrs. Weasley came over and stared at them suspiciously, "What are you discussing?"

"No!" said Ron, Fred and George reflexively, and Ron said quickly, "Mom, Ginny is terrified, she wants to go back to the Burrow as soon as possible."

Ginny let out an angry cat meow 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 sent back and forth at one time, the Ministry of Magic specially sent two people from the Floo management team to be responsible for the renovation and maintenance of the fireplace in Professor McGonagall's office to prevent An accident occurs.

The students lined up and were led through the fireplace by Professor Sprout, while Filch stood by the school gate, welcoming wizard parents who could not wait to get to the school with news. The 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 to take a closer look.

Because of the accidental exposure of the wizarding world, a series of chain reactions led to the influx of a large number of people in Hogsmeade, the only village in the UK composed entirely of wizards. Some of them were foreigners who had attended the funeral and were stranded in the UK, and some had heard the news. There were people who took refuge, or inquired about the insider, as well as the strikers sent by the Ministry of Magic to patrol and maintain law and order, so the map was full of small dots, and Felix couldn't find useful information if he tried to find it.

Sirius walked over with a large group of people, and upon hearing their thoughts, Felix agreed almost immediately.

"I have a hunch that the next few months will be critical, and the Ministry of Magic will be lacking a lot of people. Since you have this idea, it is not a problem for the Ministry of Magic to come up with some temporary identities, and a few students can do some sorting out documents and pass news. Such trivial things are actually what most people do. If there is a battle, it is estimated that the situation is extremely bad.\"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, he thought the professor wouldn't agree.

"The Order of the Phoenix—" said Sirius.

"I suggest that you join the Ministry of Magic temporarily," Felix said. "Now it's different from dealing with Voldemort. Don't worry about the Ministry of Magic leaking around 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—one"

"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 forwarded to Ami. Leah."

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"Spew?\"

"It's the House Elf Advocate!" said Hermione angrily.

Harry and Ron grinned.

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

"Why?" Sirius asked puzzled.

"Two reasons. First, if there are only wizards and the goal is too single, we are worried that the Muggle government will preconceived that wizards are people living on their own land, and they will demand the right to rule over wizards. I believe that most wizards are will not agree;"

"Let Muggles rule wizards?" Lucius Malfoy said coldly and arrogantly: "Do you need me to change Merlin's 'to Queen's'?"

Moody gruffly mocked: "It's not like your ancestors didn't shout like that."

Lucius Malfoy gave him a vicious look.

Felix continued as if he didn't hear:

"What's more, I personally believe that there is a huge gap in the way of life of wizards and ordinary people in all aspects, which cannot be overcome in a short time. If you let go of the restrictions at once, and let each other penetrate into each other's life, it will inevitably lead to endless conflicts. Therefore, at least until the negotiation results come out, there can only be one external communication channel between the two sides.”

There is one more thing Felix didn't say, that is, even after the negotiation results come out for a long time, the wizarding world will not be completely open to the outside world.

Instead, set up several communication windows. For example, build an island.

"This leads to the second reason," he raised his finger. "Since there is more than one intelligent race of wizards in the magical world, there must be other voices. As the negotiations deepen, the Muggle government's understanding of the magical world will continue to increase. , they are very likely to bypass the wizards and negotiate with other races separately, and they will try to win over the position of the goblins that I am particularly worried about. Therefore, the establishment of the Pan-Magic Alliance is imperative."

The conversation continued, but Harry quietly tugged on the sleeves of Lahmione and Ron, who backed away, and Neville hesitantly followed. Just as Harry was about to speak, Ginny emerged from the air, her hair in a mess, as if she had just been through a fight.

"I dumped mom," she said calmly.

Neville was stunned. He had lived in Black's ancestral home for some time before the start of fifth grade, so he was not unfamiliar with Mrs. Weasley's temper tantrum. When he privately expressed his awe of Mrs. Weasley to Harry, The phrase is "somewhat like my grandmother."

Ron gave a thumbs up. Ginny gave him a roll of eyes.

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

"Let's go ask the other sixth and seventh graders," Harry whispered, "to see if they're looking for a summer internship,

Write down the names of these people, it might come in handy. You heard it, the Ministry of Magic will be busy for the rest of the time. \"

"Does it work?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely," Neville said excitedly. "Like I—I don't want to sit still, there must be a lot of people who think like me.\"

"Unless they're cowards," said Ginny.

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

"Try with the members of the Outpost and the Rune Club first," Harry said finally.

They spread apart, a piece of parchment in hand, and tiptoed to find their target, and they did it with a certain lofty spirit, and when they came together again, they had a handful of lists in their hands.

"As long as half the people on the list answer the call, it can help a lot," said Harry happily.

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

At this point Ron faltered and the others looked at him suspiciously, and he muttered, "Well—I'm not sure if it's good news, but

"Ron, don't give a shit!" Ginny shouted.

"Okay," Ron whispered, "you come with me." He led a few people out of the auditorium and stood on the stone steps, the sunlight outside being a little harsh. "I've been looking for a chance to say it, but I don't think it's the right time." He took a deep breath, gripping his wand.

In the eyes of everyone's astonishment, he transformed into a glossy hound.

"Merlin's beard!" Ginny looked shocked.

"Cool," said Harry heartily. "You have Animagus.\"

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

"Congratulations," said Neville.

The hounds circled them briskly, and Harry, with a sudden rush of longing, glanced back gleefully. The hall behind him was empty, and he too was transformed into a stag. Immediately afterwards, Neville and Hermione also became Animagos forms.

Ginny looked left and right, only she was still human, she couldn't help pouting.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley," Felix's voice came from a distance, "I'll take care, if I'm not mistaken, Ginny should

- Uh, have I arrived at the zoo? "

Ginny turned her head sharply, her hands gripping the stag's antlers as if to wrestle it, and a tortoiseshell cat, a hound, and a **** watched with relish. Of course, they all turned their heads at the moment, looking at Professor Hepp and Mrs. Weasley, who were also stunned, with Sirius and Lupin behind them.

A moment of silence.

A black shadow hoof came out, it was Sirius. Before everyone could react, he turned into a **** dog covered in shaggy hair, playing and jumping around them, looking extremely happy.

The change made Mrs. Weasley, who was just about to speak, shut her mouth, her lips pursed tightly, and her eyes bursting with anger.

As if it wasn't messy enough, Felix coughed twice, and pulled out a silver pocket watch from his pocket. He flicked the cover off and pretended to look at the time, but the next second, a sniff came from inside. rushed out.

Varun used both hands and feet, and quickly climbed onto Felix's shoulder, only then did he have time to pay attention to the person beside him, and then his expression froze.

"Haw (Zoo)?

The clock struck eleven, and the Prime Minister came to the door. He had just spent a terrifying day, and sent off a few more members. Finally, he was the only one left in the office. He took off his glasses and sat wearily in the chair.

He didn't know what he was expecting, but with such a big thing happening, there must be some movement on the other side. Therefore, he firmly rejected several aides, even if his mind was blank was about to accept the question 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 even think he would ever get used to it. He could almost imagine the dirty oil painting behind the chair that could not be removed by any means, a silver wig,

The little man who looked like a frog was staring at him.

"To the Muggle Prime Minister. Request an urgent meeting. Please reply immediately. Faithful, Burns."

"Okay, okay, I agree," said the Prime Minister, and he murmured again, "as if I refuse to be useful." Then he stared uncontrollably at the fireplace, where the emerald-green flames were burning , a woman with a monocle and a serious expression came out.

The Prime Minister knew her, another minister, who succeeded Fudge. They have 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 willing to answer his questions. Not looking at him like an idiot.

He stood up and put on a look of rage - as soon as he thought he had a good reason to do so, but then the anger on his face froze, the flames rose again, and a young man appeared, the man was spared Looking around the room with interest, after two seconds, he took a long leg unhurriedly and walked out of the grate.

A thought suddenly popped into the Prime Minister's mind: will the female minister in front of her step down, and that young man is her replacement? Do regimes in the wizarding world change so quickly?
