Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 557
In the meeting hall of the Ministry of Magic, the director of the Auror Office, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and other top officials of several major departments of the Ministry of Magic gathered together.

Like any high-level leadership meeting of a large organization or country, the atmosphere in the conference hall at this time is serious, even a little too serious.

Because everyone present was all frowning, as if tomorrow would be the end of the world.

Of course, tomorrow cannot be the end of the world, but for these officials, every day that follows is not too different from the end of the world.

The reason for all this is the official order issued by Minister Flint regarding the work of the Ministry of Magic.

Yes, the paper version of that order is currently on the table in the conference room for everyone to read. After being edited by the female assistant, the text on it has formed an official document with beautiful rhetoric and standard format, but Everyone can still read the murderous aura from every word above!
'It's all up to you!If you can't do it well, you will die! '

That's what their Minister Flint meant!
"Phew!" Robert, who was the director of the Auror Office at the time, sighed a long time, "Tell me, Mr. Minister, what he wants to do."

"About this, I believe you know it well, Robert." Cage, who was then in the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, said, "Obviously, Mr. Minister has had enough of you. We, as officials employed by the Ministry of Magic, The most fundamental duty is to help Mr. Minister to manage this country well. But what have you done? You will only act as voice-transmitting machines one by one, collecting information to Mr. Minister, and then Mr. Minister will make a decision. It increases the workload of Mr. Minister and proves your incompetence."

After saying that, Cage smiled slightly, crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the chair comfortably.

The document issued by Chris this time has almost zero influence on him, the director of the Department of Management and Control of Mythical Creatures, because all the things under the jurisdiction of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures have been handled by themselves, and there is no Need to go to the Minister of Magic for instructions.

This was a bad thing in the past, as it made the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures one of the busiest departments in the entire Ministry of Magic.

But now it seems that this has become a good thing.

It is said that the top officials of several other departments are all black-faced. The chiefs of some departments such as the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of International Magical Cooperation are better. After all, although they usually have a lot of work to do Ask Mr. Minister, but these are small things, and they can't solve them by themselves.

So this paper document doesn't have a great impact on them, it's nothing more than the fact that the good days of leisure will no longer exist in the future.

And the expression of the Chief of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters at this moment is really as dark as the bottom of the pot.

You must know that there is still an imminent key event of minority group rebellion in front of him now. If he makes a slight mistake in handling this matter, the feedback caused by this matter will make him advance. Go see Merlin.

As for Minister Flint, will he let him go for their hard work?
This is basically impossible, because Minister Flint has always been such a person who keeps his promises.

If you want to die at three o'clock, it is impossible to keep you until five o'clock!
The director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters looked solemn, and finally the former spoke first, and said to everyone:

"You can't stand idly by. We are all members of the Ministry of Magic. If there is a flaw in our work, it will damage the reputation of the entire Ministry of Magic!"

The voice of the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters was firm, but obviously the other officials in the conference room did not buy it.

Now you want them to protect the reputation of the Ministry of Magic in this situation?
Isn't this a joke?

It's pretty good that they can keep their black hats and lives!
Looking at the indifferent crowd, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters could only look at Robert for help. This was his last hope.
Because in theory, the Auror Office has the responsibility and obligation to assist them in resolving this matter, but they are actually grasshoppers on a rope.

However, Robert, the director of the Auror office, didn't think so.

Knowing that he is a direct subordinate of Minister Flint, he does not believe that Minister Flint will execute him because of such a small connection.

Thinking of this, he frowned and said:

"Mr. Director, I understand your feelings very well. Please rest assured, if you need our Auror office, just ask, and we will definitely do our best."

Now the expression of the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters became even uglier, because Robert's meaning was already obvious.

The role of our Auror Office in this matter is an auxiliary department to assist you, and you have to fight the scapegoat yourself.

The Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters was naturally unwilling, so a heated debate began.

The debate went on from evening till midnight, and nothing changed, no one wanted to get involved in such a big trouble.

In the end, all the officers yawned and left the conference room with hasty steps, while the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters slumped on the office chair with a ashen face.

Kingsley looked at the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters who seemed to have accepted his fate, with a serious expression on his face.

As an undercover agent of the Order of the Phoenix in the Ministry of Magic, he did not participate in the plan to rescue Mike last time, so although he has been demoted due to identity issues, he still holds the second-in-command position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

That's why he can appear here.

"Mr. Secretary, what are you going to do?"

Kingsley cautiously probed, as an undercover agent, he was obliged to obtain this information in advance.

Hearing this, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters said with a wry smile:

"How to do it? What else can I do? Give in, they will give them whatever they want, and it will be a day if it can be delayed!"

After saying that, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters shook his head, got up and walked out of the conference room with heavy steps.

Kingsley, on the other hand, frowned and fell into deep thought.

As an old fritter who has been up and down in the officialdom for decades, he knows very well that this is a plan to quench thirst with poison, and doing so will only make the matter more difficult to solve.

Facts have proved that Kingsley's conjecture is correct.

On the second day after the meeting ended, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters approached representatives of various groups such as centaurs, witches, goblins, and mermaids, hoping to find a solution to the situation.

In order to eliminate the current turbulent situation in society, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, under the surprised eyes of many representatives, signed a series of unequal contracts, satisfying some of the demands made by the minority groups, which at least seemed more reliable.

For example, giving centaur, mermaid and other intelligent creatures the right to establish autonomous regions, giving Muggle wizards a certain number of positions in the Ministry of Magic, giving greater rights to witches who are currently serving in the Ministry of Magic, and reducing the Ministry of Magic's influence on ancient spirits. Court tax.

Needless to say, this is a happy situation.

The minorities took the benefits and left happily. Although the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters paid a huge price, at least the crowds who paraded and protested on the street disappeared, so it was not a loss.

But human beings are always greedy, especially when you are too enthusiastic, they will not give up until they squeeze out the last vestiges of benefits from you.

Of course, these qualities above are unique to humans and elves.

The mermaids and horses are actually very satisfied with the current situation, and they don't plan to ask for more things.

But under the coercion of wizards and goblins, they had to participate.

Ever since, just a week after the settlement agreement was signed, demonstrations by various groups reappeared.

Although the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters was angry about this, they interviewed the same group of people again for their own lives.

And this time, the benefits ceded by the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters are even greater.

The statue of the Ministry of Magic in the hall of the Ministry of Magic has disappeared, replaced by a group of statues, in which witches, muggles, centaurs, mermaids and other races coexist harmoniously, but only the wizards are missing. figure.

The shackles that have been imprisoned on these minority groups for thousands of years have all disappeared, and they have suddenly changed from the existence of the bottom of the society to the upper class, and they can despise those pure-blood wizards to their heart's content.These minorities began to commit crimes to make money while avenging those pure-blood wizards, and both Aurors and strikers began to turn a blind eye to these crimes under the direction of the chief.

As for the witches, they benefited the most from this struggle.

Their own abilities are extraordinary. In this situation, they even broke the blockade of the top pure-blood families on the upper-level officials of the Ministry of Magic, and contributed to many witches becoming senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and even members of the Wizengamot.

And after paying so much, the wizarding world of the country finally calmed down.

But the mood of the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters did not improve at all, because he knew very well that the current peace was only temporary, and those greedy guys would ask him for more things.

And giving these guys too many privileges will also arouse the dissatisfaction of the inherent class. In the end, he was forced to death by those minority groups because he had nothing to give, or because the inherent class lost Too many interests were quietly disposed of!
For a moment, the director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters was a little desperate.

At the same time in Hogwarts, Filch was standing on a wooden box, struggling to stick a piece of parchment on the notice board in the entrance hall.

I saw it clearly read:

"Notice on the appointment of the Headmaster of Hogwarts
All teachers and students, all staff

According to the work needs of Hogwarts, in accordance with the relevant traditions of Hogwarts headmaster selection, and in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Magic of the United States, after a series of procedures, the Ministry of Magic decided to appoint the current Minister of Magic, Christopher Lindt is the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

are hereby appointed.

The Ministry of Magic. "

Looking at the piece of parchment that he had posted neatly in the center of the notice board, Filch smiled with satisfaction.

It is not the first time he has experienced such a thing as the headmaster or professor of the Ministry of Magic being airborne. Although Umuriqi who was sent down last time gave him some bad experiences, in general, Umuriqi The days when he was in power were quite comfortable, at least there were fewer mischievous students at that time.

Rubbing his hands, Filch was already thinking about how to please the new headmaster. As long as he can get along well with the new headmaster, he would have the opportunity to propose to him to indoctrinate the students. In this way, His usual work may be able to save a lot of effort.

'Merlin bless!That new Headmaster Flint must be a hardliner! '

Filch was looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, the students in the auditorium also noticed the notice in the foyer, and gradually gathered around.

And when they saw the contents of the notice, the crowd exploded immediately.

"Harry, the Chris Flint mentioned above, isn't it the one I think?"

Ron said in disbelief, but Harry nodded with a dull expression and said:
"If there's only one Minister for Magic, he's the right one."

"Oh! Merlin's beard! Now we're all doomed!"

Ron covered his face and wailed in despair.

You must know that these Hogwarts students have just made a big fuss in the Ministry of Magic!Now the Minister of Magic is coming to Hogwarts to be their headmaster!
Ron instinctively thought that this might be Chris' conspiracy!

The other party must want to take revenge on them as the headmaster of Hogwarts!

And among the crowd, there were many people who acted similar to Ron. Although they didn't have the stupid idea that Chris, as the Minister of Magic, would come to Hogwarts to be the headmaster in order to retaliate against them, but they didn't either. satisfied with this decision.

After all, the rescue of Mike had just passed, and most of them still believed that the Ministry of Magic was their enemy!

As for the Slytherins, they were overjoyed.

God is sorry, since Chris left Hogwarts, they have been suppressed by Mike's lineage. During the recent period, they were even beaten up so much that they didn't even dare to leave the dormitory except for class!

Now that Chris is back, he is still honorably returning as the Minister of Magic and the headmaster of Hogwarts. Everyone knows with their heels that their good days are finally coming!

Of course, after experiencing a series of blows, they also learned to behave.

He was not so arrogant as to celebrate in a public place like the auditorium, but covered his mouth, suppressed a smile and rushed back to his lounge.

Presumably, there will be a special banquet in the Slytherin lounge tonight.

While Hermione looked at the notice and the noisy crowd around her, she gritted her teeth and said to Harry and Ron:

"No! We have to go to Professor McGonagall to find out!"
