Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 539 Hogwarts Strategic Deployment
Whitehall Street, London, in front of the Houses of Parliament.

A car with a unique shape has been parked here for a long time, but few people have noticed this car, even if they pass by, it's as if they didn't notice it.

It wasn't until a handsome young gentleman in a dark long robe meandered out of the car that pedestrians were surprised to find such a unique car parked here.

After the gentleman picked up a beautiful lady from the co-pilot, the two walked hand in hand into a telephone booth on the side of the road.

The "gentleman" and the lady hugged each other in a disfigured manner as soon as they entered the phone booth. Connor put his arms around Penello's waist and said in a low voice:
"I regret it. Seriously, I feel that my body can't hold on anymore. I haven't slept for two days and I'm still tossing like this. I'm still too young and frivolous."

Penelope lay on Connor's chest, giggling and laughing: "I tell you that you can't control yourself... If you pass out while walking in the Ministry of Magic later, I will not be responsible~"

"Cough, what are you talking about? I'm such an unbearable man. When I said regret, I actually meant that I regretted that I didn't study Potions well before...cough cough cough, let's not talk about this, Penello, you used to Ever been to the Ministry of Magic?"

Penello lay on Connor's chest, her face flushed with drunkenness. She was all focused on Connor now, she didn't care about the Ministry of Magic, but she didn't forget that they were not out on a date today... But thinking like this always Feeling even more overwhelming.

She shook her head slightly:
"No, speaking of it, I don't know what we are going to do today?"

"Ahem, of course we are here to do serious business. Generally speaking, to enter the Ministry of Magic, you need to register at the dial-up reception desk in this telephone booth, but I have Dumbledore's token with me, so there is no need for this step. Hold me tight."

As soon as Connor finished speaking, the two disappeared from the red telephone booth.

London underground, eighth floor, the main hall of the British Ministry of Magic.

Penello hugged Connor tightly, and he was unwilling to let go when he walked out of the large closet.

"Connor, your apparition is so good, you can easily pass the exam, right?"

"I want to take the exam, but he won't sign me up if I'm underage."

"Then go back and teach me, okay? I can sign up for the exam in April next year."

"Yes, but you have to pay the tuition."

"La La, my salary is so low, can I change the payment method?"

"Then I have to think about it..."

The members of the Ministry of Magic who came to work in the morning looked at these two guys who were obviously students, showing their affection in awe.

Then they quickly recognized that man as the young master of the Lake family who has been in full swing in the magic world recently. They couldn't help but sigh that the young people nowadays are really...young and promising...

Connor pulled Penello into a magic elevator and shouted:
"Trouble to the fifth floor, Department of International Magical Cooperation."

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, an "old acquaintance" squeezed into the elevator.

"Second floor, Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

The person who came was Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of Magical Law who had had some troubles with the Lake family a few months ago. At this time, he was looking at Connor with great interest, and said:

"Isn't this the famous Mr. Connor Lake? You students don't go to enjoy a wonderful vacation, what are you doing in my International Magic Cooperation Department? Or is it that the current Hogwarts top students can already use the Ministry of Magic as a dating place? Yet?"

The old guy had a strong taste when he opened his mouth. Although after the Goblin Cup, the power representing the traditional wizarding family had compromised with the extremely powerful Lake family, the relationship between Mr. Crouch and the Lake family had already been forged.

In addition, the Crouch family didn't get any benefit from the Philosopher's Stone and magic cards distributed by the Lake family. At this time, the head of the Crouch family would naturally not have a good face when he saw the head of the Lake family.

Batty has been emphasizing the status of Connor's student eccentrically since he opened his mouth. This level of small beating is neither a loss of status nor blame, and it sounds like an old politician.

Of course, Connor had no reason to love this old guy. If he really thought that Connor was a student who had never seen the world, he would be very wrong, and immediately said with a fake smile:
"What a coincidence, Director Crouch, I didn't expect to meet you. The director was joking just now. I came to work with Director William as the secretary of the headmaster of Hogwarts. Thanks to Mr. Dumbledore, I let you I came to the Ministry of Magic to do some small things, see the world, and say hello to Minister Fudge by the way, but I dare not be idle in the early morning."

The current director of the Department of International Magic Cooperation is still William Wallace, but after the new year, this position will fall on the director Crouch in front of him, so this guy will say "my Department of International Magic Cooperation" .

And this is also the main reason why Connor rushed to the Ministry of Magic when he couldn't sleep, because in two days Barty Crouch and William Wallace will have a work handover, and after the new year, the Department of International Magical Cooperation will become the Ministry of Magic. Crouch's territory.

And with the Crouch family and Lake family's filthiness, it will not be so easy for Connor to come to the Department of International Magical Cooperation when the time comes, and the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic will definitely not do such a thing. out of.

Since Crouch is not yet the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, there is no need to curry favor with him, so Connor will naturally not be polite to him.

First, he clarified his identity as the headmaster's secretary so that he would not rely on his old age, and then explained that the purpose was to visit Director William, reminding him that he is not yet the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, and then mentioned to visit Fudge——

Barty Crouch had previously resigned to the second-in-command position after failing to run for the Minister of Magic with Cornelius Fudge, and even squeezed into the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Saying that Dumbledore wanted Connor to visit Fudge instead of Crouch was undoubtedly rubbing salt into his wounds, and finally Connor mocked Crouch in a weird way that he came to work after nine o'clock for "doing nothing" , this behavior is tantamount to spitting on his wound by the way.

Although Connor didn't quite understand the political intrigues of these bureaucrats, he was still able to sway his mouth a few times in a strange manner.

Sure enough, Crouch was disgusted by Connor's words, and he never said a word after that.

"The fifth floor is here, the Department of International Magic Cooperation, the International Magic Trade Standards Association, the International Magic Law Office, the British Branch of the International Federation of Wizards..."

The artificial voice that understood the atmosphere broke the embarrassment in the elevator. Connor nodded politely and pulled Penello out with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until the elevator went up all the way that Penello held Connor's arm and stuck out his tongue: "Connor, that was Director Barty Crouch just now, I was really afraid that you would draw out your wands and fight..."

"Don't worry, I'll let him beat me with one hand."

Penello slapped Connor's arm and smiled: "Yes, yes, I know you are amazing, where are we going next?"

"Go to Director William Wallace, we have an appointment."

"We're not late, are we?"

"Huh? Of course not. Everything is in my calculations. Since I asked you to be together, I naturally set aside enough time."

"Connor, you are so bad." Penello smiled and bit Connor's arm, because the coat is too thick and the damage is naturally zero, but the girl's affection is unstoppable, "But I like it so much, what to do."

"It should be. It's not your fault that you fell in love with me. I will bear all the sins."

"Hahaha, Connor, why didn't I find you so humorous before?"

"Because the Connor of yesterday is no longer me, I am becoming better every day, and you will find more advantages in me in the future."

"Really? I'm looking forward to it~"

"Hey, hey! You two little ones, take a break in front of the old people, not all old guys will smile when they recall their youth."

A loud voice broke the anxious atmosphere between the two, and an old wizard with a beard came out from the corner, blowing his beard and staring at Connor.

"Good morning, Mr. Wallace, my mother asked me to say hello to you."

"Hmph, Flora's child is much smarter than her. Come with me."

William Wallace, the current director of the Department of International Magic Cooperation of the British Ministry of Magic, will retire in a week. Connor's mother, Flora, worked under him for a while, and naturally has some connections with the Lake family.

Connor and Penello followed Old William into his office. After Old William sat down, Connor stepped forward and handed over a letter:

"Mr. Wallace, this is a letter from Principal Dumbledore. He should have talked to you about the specific situation."

"What on earth do you Lakers and Dumbledore want to do?"

Old William took the envelope, opened the letter and looked at it while saying:
"If I hadn't known that Dumbledore had no interest in power, I would have wondered if you were planning to overthrow the Ministry of Magic..."

Connor smiled on the surface, but he almost wanted to mmp in his heart...

"Professor of Hogwarts Enrollment Expansion... You said that you can't solve the shit of your school by yourself? You still come here to torment an old bone like me who is about to retire..."

Old William kept mumbling, but his hands didn't stop. In fact, Dumbledore had already arranged the py transaction, and Connor was just here to go through the motions and take the documents back by the way.

In fact, the recruitment of new professors at Hogwarts does not require the approval of the Ministry of Magic, and the affairs of the school are not in the hands of the Ministry of Magic.

It's just that this time Hogwarts' action is a bit big, because his recruitment announcement is not only for British wizards, but for wizards all over the world.

That's right, Hogwarts will start recruiting new professors from all over the world, and there is no upper limit on the number.

The Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with recruiting new professors, but it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to ignore the entry of foreigners.

Generally speaking, it is more troublesome for foreign wizards to apply for long-term residence in the UK. The Ministry of Magic in the UK has been stuck in this regard. Unless you come here as a Muggle, otherwise, as long as you use magic here Will be approached by the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Dumbledore wants to conduct a py transaction with the Department of International Magical Cooperation. In order to obtain the status of "International Magic Academic Exchange Talent" for Wai Guoren who is willing to work at Hogwarts in the future, he drafted such a "On Strengthening International Wizards" "Academic Exchange Plan", Connor ran over to the Department of International Magical Cooperation to sign it.

As for this matter, whether it is big or small, it is not big because the Department of International Magical Cooperation has the right to approve this plan, and there is no need to ask for instructions here and there to do a bunch of operations; it is not small because of this If the matter is known by the media, it will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity, and it will be launched in minutes to upgrade you to a big event...

After all, the magic world actually doesn't like to see "changes".

In order to minimize the impact and avoid more troubles as much as possible, Connor and Dumbledore decided to act first, and directly settled the matter in name, and then secretly recruited people through the channels of the Lake chain store .

As long as this plan is passed first, the way of wrangling in the future will change from "whether to pass this plan" to "whether to scrap this plan".

In this way, it will not affect the progress of Hogwarts' talent recruitment plan.

There is dripping water here, very deep.
