v3 Chapter 205： 1 letter to the Minister of Magic

, the fastest update to the latest chapter on the day of the Hogwarts draw!

"It's nothing, it doesn't matter." Hermione muttered as she packed her things and walked out of the common room with Tom.

"Everyone is celebrating the victory. It's really unpleasant for you to read at this time." Tom shook his head.

But Hermione was still doing her own way, and that was Hermione, if she wanted to do something, she wouldn't waver.

...

By the time Hermione closed the book "The Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles", it was almost time for the library to close.

"Seriously, do you and a wizard from a Muggle family like me really need to read this book?" Tom couldn't control his desire to complain when he saw the title of the book. The content of this book is more like a wizard's imagination of Muggle society. For students from a wizarding family, it is still rewarding to watch, but what is the point of watching this for a hemp wizard?

It's like British people looking at English textbooks.

"It's necessary." Judging from Hermione's expression, she didn't think it was a waste of time to read this book.

"This book can show me how wizards see Muggles. I also read this book to know that from the perspective of wizards, Muggle society turns out to be like this."

To Hermione, it seemed that no book was worthless—perhaps it had something to do with the fact that she had never read anything about success. Hermione wasn't a nerd, she would filter out books that didn't make sense at first glance.

"But there are some common-sense mistakes in the book, I've written them down," Hermione picked up a piece of parchment that Yang had sandwiched in the book, with densely written words on it, "Send it back to the author."

Tom:  …

True **** readers! By the way, is the home address of the author of the magical world so easily exposed? It should be very convenient for readers to urge more, right?

"Speaking of sending letters," Hermione seemed to remember something, "you said you were going to contact the Minister of Magic, how's it going?"

She started asking Tom about the progress of his work, like a class teacher collecting homework.

"The letter has already been sent, I guess Minister Burns is reading it?" Tom replied calmly, with a kind of spare time for the teacher after the homework was completed.

The Ministry of Magic was now brightly lit. While most of the employees are out of get off work, the Office of the Minister of Magic is still operating normally. It's not that the officials here are more diligent, it's that the Minister of Magic is still working overtime. This was unprecedented in the Fudge era.

Borns had the habit of working overtime when he was the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. When he became the Minister of Magic, he did not restrain himself, and almost turned the Minister's office into his second home.

The advantage of this is obvious: she has seized the minister's power faster than Fudge. She was reading a letter at the moment, sent to her by Dumbledore of Hogwarts.

In the letter, Dumbledore confirmed to her the identity of Tom "the wizard" and assured her of Tom's reliability. With Dumbledore's assurances, Burns could rest easy. Dumbledore may be a little unreliable in the little things, but he never fails in the big things.

She has a lot of other work to do next. Gu Zhang

"Mafalda, how are you preparing for this year's Hogwarts recruitment?" Burns shook a small bell on the table, and her secretary, Mafalda Hopekirk, left He came in with a small tray in his hand, and on the tray was a small glass of black liquid.

This mysterious black liquid has wisps of white vapor on the surface, and there are countless tiny bubbles inside. It looks weird, as if it is some kind of unknown potion.

Mafalda was a little witch with fluttering gray hair and a gentle appearance. She works in the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, where she is responsible for sending notices to wizards suspected of breaching the Statute of Secrecy or the Binding Act. Harry Potter had been warned by her.

The Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic is a division of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement, and Mafalda works here, a friend and confidant of Burns. After Bornes became the Minister of Magic, he directly transferred his capable assistant into the Office of the Minister of Magic to handle official business for her.

"Everything is ready. In early April, representatives from all departments will go to Hogwarts to collect resumes and expressions of interest, and conduct in-depth interviews with the seventh-grade students." Mafalda said seriously.

There is no concept of graduate students and doctoral students in the wizarding world. After studying at Hogwarts for seven years, students will directly enter the society. There is almost no such thing as staying in school. Tom Riddle was so excellent back then. His resume didn't allow him to stay at the school, and neither could other students.

The reason for this is that Hogwarts hopes that students will go to the society to experience first, so as not to live in an ivory tower for a lifetime and become unworldly.

Hogwarts will not consider recalling the best of them until the students have been in society for a while. Take the current Deans for example, Professor McGonagall first worked at the Ministry of Magic before returning to school to teach Transfiguration. Professor Flitwick is keen on fighting and is a very famous duelist. Not to mention Snape, joined the Death Eaters and later found a part-time job in the Order of the Phoenix. The professors have work experience.

However, these students did not directly enter the society, but had a "school recruitment" link like the non-magic world. For a period of time before graduation, students will contact the company they like, and finally get a position in the company, and then go through the formal entry after the n.e.w.t. grades come down.

As the Ministry of Magic at the top of the food chain in the magical world, it naturally has the right to choose wizards first. They will contact the students one step ahead of other companies, and if the agreement is reached, and the final student's n.e.w.t. grades meet the requirements, they will recruit the student into the Ministry of Magic.

This year's school recruitment time is also approaching, and the Ministry of Magic has already made preparations.

After getting a positive answer, Bones showed a satisfied smile picked up the black potion on the tray and drank it.

"Well... this Muggle potion is really good, don't you want some, Mafalda?" Borns looked very satisfied. She liked the potion that was popular among Muggles very much, and managed to get its original formula and restore it.

Her assistant declined her invitation and placed an envelope on her desk.

"Minister, you have a personal letter from Hogwarts. Just passed the security check. It's an ordinary letter."

I cut the elbow and divided it into three parts: bones, lean meat and fat (in these days, I am good at knife skills), cut the lean meat into pieces, and use it for cooking. Fat meat is fat with lean meat and skin (low-grade version of pork belly), which can be eaten in braised. As for the bones, I plan to go back and simmer with the ribs. Such a hoof can eat five or six meals.

Put your lunch here, lettuce coleslaw with braised pork!

ps: I rummaged through the boxes and found a bottle of vinaigrette, ready to make lettuce salad.
