save the bachelors

Chapter 4128 4130 [Ministry of Magic Grabs Credit]

The professors of Hogwarts arrived shortly afterwards, including Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Slughorn...

When they saw that the giant had been subdued and the house had been repaired, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning that Xiang Nan had defeated the three giants alone and successfully repaired the house destroyed by the giants, the professors all looked at him with surprise, appreciation and admiration.

"Well done, Severus~" Headmaster Dumbledore praised.

Professor McGonagall was also very excited. Being able to perform the Repairing Spell so well showed that Xiang Nan had quite a high level of attainment in the field of Transfiguration.

Because ordinary wizards can only repair some broken cups, jars or glasses by casting repair spells. It is not an easy task to repair a demolished house.

Professor Flitwick's eyes were shining with excitement, because Xiang Nan was a student of Ravenclaw.

"Merlin's beard~" Slughorn looked at the three giants, then at Xiang Nan, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Kid, did you really do this by yourself?"

Even for him, it would be extremely difficult to deal with three adult giants. It was really unexpected that Xiang Nan, at such a young age, could actually defeat three giants.

……

At this time, the Deputy Minister of Magic, Creed Hemsworth, and the Aurors also rushed over using Floo powder.

They were also surprised to see the three giants lying in the street.

Since the establishment of the British Ministry of Magic in the 18th century, Aurors have been organized to hunt down giants and drive them into the deep mountains and dense forests, away from people and towns.

Due to the attacks of the Aurors, the deterioration of the living environment, and internal strife, the number of giants has gradually decreased. By this century, there are very few giants living in the British Isles, and ordinary people may not see one in their lifetime.

I didn't expect them to appear in Hogsmeade. Did they do it on purpose, or did they just pass by? Were they sent by someone to harass them, or were they hungry and ran down the mountain to look for food...

These issues need to be clarified, otherwise, there will be big trouble.

After all, everyone in the wizarding world knows the notoriety of giants. Allowing these guys to run rampant in the wizarding world is a serious failure of the Ministry of Magic.

"Are there any casualties?" Creed asked as soon as he arrived.

When he learned that everyone escaped in time, no one died, and only a few people were injured, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, relations between the Ministry of Magic and the public are strained.

The Ministry of Magic was hampered by conservative forces and was unable to launch an effective attack on Voldemort and the Death Eaters. The powerful and well-connected pure-blood families were not only unwilling to attack Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but were even willing to become their accomplices.

Half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards, who make up the majority of the wizarding world, are increasingly dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic. They believe that the Ministry of Magic is condoning Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and so they protest frequently to express their dissatisfaction.

If there were casualties during the giant's attack on Hogsmeade village, the Ministry of Magic would be flooded with letters of protest from the public.

Fortunately, the situation was handled properly this time, no one was killed, only people were injured, and all of them were relatively easy to treat. This was really good news for him.

……

"Are you the student who subdued the three giants?" Creed looked at Xiang Nan kindly and asked, "What's your name?"

"Severus Snape." Xiang Nan said. "You did a great job. Thank you for your efforts. You are simply a hero." Creed praised with a smile, "I will apply to the Ministry to reward you."

"You're welcome, sir. I'm not doing this for a reward." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"What a good boy." Creed praised again.

"Okay, Creed, you can praise this child later." Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "Take these giants away first. They came very suddenly, and there may be some conspiracy."

"You're right." Creed nodded.

This matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise the people will not let the Ministry of Magic go.

After all, this is Hogsmeade, and it's the weekend, so students come here to relax. This should be the safest place, but three giants showed up to smash and loot.

If no explanation was given, the parents alone would blame the Ministry of Magic, so Creed had to take this matter seriously.

Dumbledore then ordered the Student Union President and the prefects to take the students back to school, including Xiang Nan and others.

On the way back, everyone was still discussing this matter. They all praised Xiang Nan for his ability to fight against three giants and admired him very much.

Not to mention that Xiang Nan was only a third-grade student, even an adult wizard would have a hard time dealing with a giant. Otherwise, Gifford Alldon would not have appeared on the Chocolate Frog card.

But it was really amazing that Xiang Nan subdued three giants by himself.

Xiang Nan himself didn't think there was anything wrong.

Giants are nothing more than stronger, stronger, and more resistant to magic, but they also have many shortcomings. For example, they are dull-witted, slow-moving, and lack coordination and order...

Xiang Nan could defeat these guys who only used brute force with martial arts. After all, no matter how hard their skin was, it was not as hard as steel, and a single move of the Heart-Breaking Palm could kill them.

The only pity is that there are too many people today, otherwise Xiang Nan would quietly take them back to Hogwarts and lock them up.

The giants have such high magic resistance, they are definitely more resistant than Fenrir, so it is just right to use them to gain spellcasting experience.

……

The next day, the Daily Prophet reported that three giants attacked Hogsmeade village, but it did not say that Xiang Nan subdued the three giants.

Instead, he highlighted Deputy Minister Creed Hemsworth and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, as if they had arrived in time and subdued the three giants.

"How despicable! They didn't even mention you. Anyone who reads this article will think that the giant was subdued by the Ministry of Magic." Lily said angrily after reading the report.

"Yes, it was clearly after you subdued the giant that people from the Ministry of Magic arrived. They are so shameless as to take all the credit from you." Gregory spoke up for Xiang Nanming.

There were also many people who knew the inside story and expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan was equally dissatisfied. He didn't mind having his reputation taken away by the Ministry of Magic, but at least he should be given some other rewards to make up for it, such as a thousand gold Galleons, or the Order of Merlin or something.

But they took away the credit without giving anything, which is a bit despicable.

"No wonder the Ministry of Magic is so hated. Whether it's Voldemort, conservatives or reformers, they all want to overthrow it. It's so irresponsible." Xiang Nan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
