Admiral of Hogwarts

It’s Saturday, the first week of school. After a whole week of continuous rain, the sun finally comes out. When Hugo and the others walked out of the Room of Requirement after finishing their fighting practice, the sun was already high in the sky.

As they walked through the corridor, unusually bright sunlight shone in through the gap in the corridor without glass, making them unable to open their eyes.

From these gaps, they could see the treetops of the Forbidden Forest swaying gently in the breeze, letting the fresh air blow on their faces. Anyway, today is a good day.

"Is there any news related to us?" Hugo, who was sitting at the long table, asked when he saw his sister habitually picking up a copy of the Daily Prophet.

They practiced for a long time in the morning, so now most people have finished lunch and gone back to rest. Only a few students are still sitting at the long table eating their lunch.

"Yes," Hermione said, pointing to a small article and handing it to Hugo. The article was less than an inch long. The title was: Breaking into the Ministry of Magic.

Stourge Podmore, 2 years old, lives at 8 Laburnum Park, Clapham District. He was tried in the Wizengamot recently and was accused of illegally trespassing at the Ministry of Magic on August 31 and attempting to commit robbery.

Podmore was captured by Ministry of Magic guard Eric Munch, who discovered that he was trying to break through a first-class security door at one o'clock in the morning. Podmore refused to defend himself and was found guilty of both charges and imprisoned in Azkaban for six months.

"I remember this man," Hugo said in a low voice. "He was supposed to be one of the guards escorting us to King's Cross Station on the day we took the train to school, but Moody was very unhappy when he didn't come."

"Yes, and look at the date of his arrest." Veneto stepped forward and tapped the newspaper with his finger. "It happened to be the day before I went to the train station, which is why he didn't come to see me off that day."

"And the other party either suffered a sudden attack from the Ministry of Magic, or was performing some highly confidential tasks of the Order of the Phoenix." Hugo analyzed calmly from the side. "Otherwise, Moody would not have known the whereabouts of the other party the day after his arrest."

Although Moody retired honorably from the Ministry of Magic, he also had a very well-informed network during his long career as an Auror, so it was obviously abnormal to be unable to find a target in a day.

"It could be both reasons," Hermione recalled. "I remember hearing the Weasley twins say that the Order of the Phoenix wanted to protect something."

"Normally, if you want to protect something, you should put it under your nose. But according to the twins, the Order of the Phoenix can only send people to guard such things."

"So I guess that thing is probably something that was placed in the Ministry of Magic, and Stooges Podmore was performing guard duties at the time, but I don't know how it happened. The Ministry of Magic was on the side of the mysterious man. The personnel were attacked by surprise."

"Your analysis makes sense." Hugo nodded. "Considering that the Ministry of Magic is actually secretly controlled by those pure bloods, it is entirely possible that the other party will use this method to explore certain areas of the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic that cannot be controlled."

The Ministry of Magic is a very large organization. Pure-blood wizards can indeed control the overall direction, but it is not very possible to control it without loopholes from top to bottom.

To give the simplest example, the Department of Mysteries has not been very controlled by the Minister of Magic from the beginning. Although purebloods can send people in, they can only get some information at most.

After all, knowledge really equals power in the wizarding world, and the knowledge contained in the Department of Mysteries is enough to allow them to operate independently without any influence from the outside world.

After lunch, Hugo and the others returned to the Ravenclaw Tower, only to see a dozen Ravenclaw students gathering together and talking, while more students were listening around them.

After getting closer, Hugo found that the students in the middle were talking about this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the students around him were also whispering.

"Why would the Ministry of Magic send such a person to the school? I think our class will be wasted this year if this continues." A second-year student complained, "Copying texts every day in class is really..."

"After all, you are only a junior, so it is not a big problem to waste the previous year. Those of us who have to face important exams are the worst." Lisa Dupin shook her head angrily, "Why is a senior official of the Ministry of Magic I’ll be a professor this year if I have nothing to do.”

"This may be because there is a conflict between the Ministry of Magic and our principal." Marietta shared the news she knew with everyone at this time.

"My mother got the news from her friends at the Ministry of Magic that Fudge didn't want us to have combat training. Because he was worried that Professor Dumbledore would organize a secret army of his own and then use it to fight the Ministry of Magic."

"Actually, the one who really has a private army is Fudge himself -" Luna, who was standing next to him with a distracted expression, suddenly said.

"This is an army of black Leopards. They are huge monsters covered in fire. They fly across the ground and can burn everything in front of them to nothing -"

No one took Luna's words seriously. Everyone was used to Luna's way of wandering around, so they quickly focused on other things.

"Well, we can't solve this problem no matter how much we scold." The president of the Ravenclaw Student Union, standing in the middle, pressed his hands down and said, "We must now find someone who can still do it under this situation." Learn Defense Against the Dark Arts normally."

"Then why don't we set up a mutual aid group within the college? I remember that there seemed to be several utility rooms in our Ravenclaw Tower that had been empty for a long time." Veneto raised his hand and said.

"So we can clean out those houses and go into those rooms outside of school hours to practice the magic that we need to learn for Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"This is a good idea, but what should I do if there is a problem?" After seeing Veneto speak, everyone quickly focused their attention on her and asked questions.

"If you have any questions, you can discuss them with your classmates and friends first. If you have no choice but to ask your seniors, I think most of the problems can be solved in this way." Veneto thought for a moment and replied.

"If we encounter a problem that no one can solve, I think we can ask Professor Flitwick. Although the professor teaches Charms in school, I think as a dueling champion, he is absolutely good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. It won’t be bad.”

"As for the equipment, Hugo learned some interesting things about transformation and alchemy. So if we repair the discarded teaching aids in the school's waste warehouse, the equipment problem should be solved."

"Ravenclaw's college funds can solve the material funds to repair those facilities." Hearing this, Bruce said, "If we really do what you said, then we can get this training class up and running. ."
