v2 Chapter 402： Compete with other schools!

Sean knew that this Diongo Rubio was sent by Lupin. He was a powerful and reliable wizard in the organization he founded. He suddenly sent a message to himself?

Sean unfolded the note and saw a sentence at the beginning: "We were preempted."

preemptive…

Continue reading: "Starting from the early morning, I have visited a total of twelve houses, all of them are young wizards born in Muggle families, and only now have the first student admitted to Hogwarts. Sir, I did not even and other The opportunity to compete, because admissions officers from other schools had already gone yesterday. Among the top eleven, six young wizards chose Nurmengard, three chose Beauxbatons, and three chose Demus Trang. This is my experience today, and after contacting several colleagues, I found that they are the same, but not as many as I have encountered. I will continue to the next one and let you know the news for now. "

"Hi..." Sean took a deep breath.

The old man Grindelwald was trapped under the Invisibility Cloak, and he was one step ahead of Hogwarts? !

The current enrollment situation is completely different from when Sean received two admission notices at the same time. Because of the changes in the external situation, there is no more competition for students.

Basically, the wizard came to the door and showed his magic. As long as he could gain the trust of the little wizard's family, the student was recruited.

So, getting ahead is important.

Sean always felt that Hogwarts was moving quite fast. Unexpectedly, Grindelwald had already made his move...

That's fine, why did Beauxbatons and Durmstrang get in? !

There are four wizarding schools in Europe. In recent years, Nurmengard is the one with the most abundant students, followed by Hogwarts, followed by Beauxbatons, and finally Durmstrang.

Nurmengard robbed people, but the other two actually went to the UK to rob people, which was a little unreasonable.

Although the enrollment scope of each school is mostly open to the whole of Europe, this situation is rarely seen in previous years…

Could it be that several other schools have already started recruiting, and all the students within their enrollment range in previous years have been admitted?

In addition, Durmstrang has gradually declined in recent years due to the rise of Nurmengard. Even so, this school famous for black magic has not abandoned its tradition of only recruiting pure-blood wizards. Rubio's message made it clear that the Muggle families he first went to recruit students...

Is this year's source of students so scarce...

Professor McGonagall saw Sean frowning, and she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Professor, look at this." Sean handed over the note.

Professor McGonagall frowned after reading it: "No wonder, no wonder we waited so long for the new students to be sent over by the door key..."

"Professor, Nurmengard robbing people is still within the scope of my understanding, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, will their admissions in previous years include the United Kingdom?" Sean asked suspiciously.

Professor McGonagall nodded: "Facing, among the four magic schools in Europe, Durmstrang has the smallest enrollment range, but it basically covers most of Europe. Other schools, including our Hogwarts, are all oriented to the whole world. European. But because of the geographical location of the school, the enrollment scope of each school is basically fixed."

"Take Hogwarts as an example, the students are basically from the UK, and occasionally some young wizards from other countries close to the UK are recruited, and most of them are from Muggle families. The same is true for other schools. Beauxbatons is located in the Pyrenees. Mountain, the scope of admissions is basically in France and Spain. Durmstrang is located in Scandinavia, and the scope of admissions is the northern part of the country, of course, Germany is also included.”

Sean smirked a few times, he had always thought Durmstrang was located near Germany...

Professor McGonagall saw that he was curious and continued to explain: "The rise of Nurmengard has seized most of Durmstrang's students, and Nurmengard is truly active in recruiting students from all over Europe, including some non-universal students. Enrolled students will also be recruited.”

"Not enrolled?" Sean asked suspiciously.

"Yes," Professor McGonagall nodded, "there are a lot of wizards in Europe, but obviously, even the original three magic schools don't have enough students combined. Because there are many young wizards who do not enroll, but are like A long time ago, there was a separate individual teaching, such as Greece, there are actually many wizards in Greece, but whether it is Hogwarts or other schools, Greek students are very rare. Because they basically do not enter the school, they may be taught by their own Parents and family members teach magic, and they may also be taught by older wizards who are more respected in the local wizard community, tending to be free-ranging."

"In some European border countries, young wizards may choose magic schools in other regions, such as the largest magic school in the world, the Wagado Magic School in Uganda, Africa, and the Kodosdore in St. Petersburg, Russia. The School of Magic."

"So..." After listening to Professor McGonagall's professor, Sean suddenly realized and nodded.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the note again, and there was some worry between his eyebrows: "It may be the reason for the frequent accidents recently. All major schools have strengthened their recruitment efforts, and even Durmstrang has recruited Muggle families. It looks like we at Hogwarts are one step behind..."

Sean looked up at the little wizards in the side hall who had just changed into wizard robes and were looking at them curiously, counted the number silently, and then said, "According to the current situation, it can still be accepted... and the instructions I gave them. It is to recruit children from Muggle families first, after all, wizard families in the UK should still choose us at Hogwarts.”

"But..." Sean grunted.

"But what?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Professor, according to the progress, Hogwarts is not slow. The reason why we are one step behind is actually..." Sean lowered his voice, "It has something to do with the British Ministry of Magic."

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then pushed his glasses seriously: "You mean, the British Ministry of Magic and other schools leaked the news that we are going to recruit privately?"

Sean nodded: "Nurmengard for the time being, the other two schools are a bit strange. Also, it shouldn't be called a leak, Professor, you should have communicated with the Ministry of Magic before?"

"Yes, communicated, but there was no agreement that they would not allow us to enroll mid-semester."

"That's right, the Ministry of Magic did not let Hogwarts recruit students, and then went back to remind Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and the professors are monitored by the Ministry of Magic, and you can only give me the task, which is a waste of money. It took a lot of time, and that's why we were preempted," Sean explained.

Professor McGonagall's frown deepened: "But what benefit does the reduction in Hogwarts students have for the British Ministry of Magic..."

Sean said faintly, "But the Ministry of Magic is no longer the Ministry of Magic it used to be..."

Professor McGonagall sighed: "Yes..."

"In addition, wizards need to report when they cross the border, and they move so fast that they can't even complete the reporting process... It can only be said that there are official forces that have opened the back door for them."

Professor McGonagall rubbed his temples with a headache: "Indeed."

"Actually, I still have a guess." Sean changed his words.

"what?"

"That is, will other schools temporarily put down the little wizards they recruited in previous years because they want to seize the Hogwarts students?" Sean said.

"It's very possible..." Professor McGonagall's eyes lit up.

"After all, schools are not holidays, but normal school hours. There are not many people available. I don't think they can have enough time to enroll students within their own range and then go to Hogwarts. The source of life." Sean reminded.

"Yes, it's too late, because they have to convince every parent and little wizard one by one, especially wizards from Muggle families."

Sean blinked: "Professor, Hogwarts doesn't discriminate against students from other countries, right?"

"Of course, Hogwarts treats all students equally," Professor McGonagall said firmly.

"How about we change our minds?" Sean laughed.

Sean's judgment is based on the fact that the British Ministry of Magic has been controlled by the returnees, and the French, German and other Ministry of Magic are also under the control of the returnees. If they want to **** the source of Hogwarts, it will prove that a larger number of new students may be. what impact. In this case, of course Sean had to go against the other side.

As for Nurmengard, Sean has nothing to do, anyway, Grindelwald robs every year...

Professor McGonagall also immediately understood what Sean meant. She paced in place for a while before making a decision.

"Sean, Hogwarts needs your help."

"my pleasure."

"I'm going to get the names of more little wizards now, can you contact more people?"

"Of course, I'm used to doing more preparations, and some people haven't set out yet." Sean said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall showed an admiring expression: "Well done, Ravenclaw twenty points."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Sean knew that Professor McGonagall must be looking for the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance.

These two magical props that have existed since the founding of Hogwarts are the key to Hogwarts admissions. The Pen of Acceptance finds the newborns with magical powers, and the conditions are loose, while the Book of Admission is much more rigorous. It will use strict criteria to screen out the newborns discovered by the Pen of Acceptance, and only after confirming that the other party can become a wizard will it be sent. Write the other person's name on the book.

These two magic items can only be used by the principal and vice-principal, and if Sean guessed correctly, the sensing range of the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance should have been limited to the United Kingdom.

Professor McGonagall is probably going to expand its sensing range in some way.

Sean grinned suddenly.

This time, the whole of Europe has really entered into a "war" to **** new students.

more and more interesting...

…

The wizarding welfare organization hidden in the office building of the Muggle world was busy, and Lupin kept instructing the people under him to classify the information passed by.

"This, this, this...the distance between these twenty children is relatively close...you go, Shady." Lupin ordered.

"OK."

"The speed of persuasion is fast, and you don't have to worry about your magic being discovered by the local Ministry of Magic. In addition, the boss also sent a new spell over, remember to use it. In addition, if the other party shows obvious resistance, just give up. Go to the next one."

"Don't worry, boss." Shady took the list and the information sheet with a smile, and then shook the door key in his hand, "We are illegally smuggling, I'm not going to stay there for too long and be taken away by the local Ministry of Magic. ."

Lupin smiled: "I don't worry about your work, let's go."

"Okay." After saying that, Xia Di activated the door key and disappeared.

If Sean could see this scene, he would definitely nod his head in satisfaction.

This is the power of money.

Since they are going to other schools to **** students, it is obviously unrealistic to report to the Ministry of Magic. However, the wizarding welfare organization has implemented Sean's consistent idea from the beginning - practical!

No matter black and white or black and white, as long as you can use your interests to impress you, you can contact them.

With a lot of Galleons provided by Mr. Wallup, Lupin easily reached an agreement with a number of border smuggling wizards, and even contacted a lot of selfish traffickers.

Now, by throwing money at it, Sean can bypass the Ministry of Magic's border surveillance and smuggle a bunch of people across.

Now, let's see the effect...

In Hogwarts Castle, Sean was still greeting the freshmen who came to report. This meeting was also dismissed. At Sean's request, the prefects also came to help.

At this time, the Muggle family wizards in the UK have almost beckoned, and children from wizard families have been sent over by the door key.

"Thank you, Mr. Wallup."

"You're welcome, Kayin." Sean smiled and waved to the little boy in front of him, who was the younger brother of Sean's roommate Cormac McLaggen.

Sean looked up at the number of students in the side hall. It wasn't too small, but it wasn't enough compared to previous years.

Just thinking about it, another person was sent to the center of the side hall by the door key.

"Hello, junior, what is your name?"

"Kavin Andres, UU reading you, hello, sir." The pale-skinned little boy had a strong German accent.

Sean's eyes lit up: "Where are you from?"

"Germany, Bremen in Germany."

Became... Sean secretly rejoiced.

After the introduction, Calvin Andres handed over a note: "Sir, what the recruiter asked me to convey... I'm sorry, I was too, too nervous, I almost forgot..."

"It's okay, thank you."

After the nervous little boy left, Sean unfolded the note.

"Everything is going well, the first Muggle family has not been recruited by any other school, and I will go to the next family immediately."

Sure enough, the local sources, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, have not been able to take care of...

Sean grinned.
