All things are three at Hogwarts

"You know, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is recognized as one of the most democratic and well-educated great magic schools. It is influenced by the school spirit of Ilvermorny... Although students admitted to Hogwarts do not care about their origins, But your style..." Leonard paused in embarrassment, "But your style is too authoritarian in their opinion. When you kicked Dumbledore out of school, you also expelled those pure-blood families. Many people think that you cannot tolerate other voices..."

Hermione, who was taking a sip of butterbeer, put down her glass when she heard this: "Ilvermorny has never had a good sense of Britain. It's also a historical problem. Although the founder of Ilvermorny, Isothel, is British herself. , but it was because of the persecution of her British aunt Gormley Gaunt that she did not go to Hogwarts and was forced to board the Mayflower and live in America..."

"Miss Granger is really knowledgeable. In addition, the problem you can't explain easily is for me... In fact, it's not just historical factors, nor is it a conflict of ideas. This is also the competition for the title of the best magic school in the world. Ilvermorny has always regarded Hogwarts as its biggest competitor, so some radical young people can easily become hostile to Hogwarts..." Leonard said it sincerely, and then said His eyes were on Allen, "And this time at the International Federation of Wizards, Allen, you took advantage of Britain's strength and showed such arrogance and force, forcing the president Abaginder to bow his head and apologize... If you pass it back, you will definitely be criticized by the opposition. The leader, the rigid Fuji III of the Graves family, uses this as a lever to bring you more hostility and opponents.”

"The Graves family? One of the twelve Aurors originally recruited by the Magical Congress of the United States of America?" Hermione, who had business dealings with his country because of the umbrella, reacted immediately, and then she looked at Allen and explained something to him again. , "The first group of volunteer Aurors holds a special place in the history of American magic. The challenges faced by these twelve people were huge, so when they volunteered to join the ranks of Aurors, they were already prepared for what might be needed. The psychological preparation to sacrifice one's life... The first task after the establishment of the Magical Congress was to judge those purgers who betrayed their fellow wizards. These wizard betrayers who committed murder, human trafficking of wizards, torture and other evil deeds were finally punished. Execution... But only two of the original twelve Aurors survived to old age. In the magical society, they and the subsequent generations of Aurors were highly respected."

"I actually have some impression. I have read some files from the British Ministry of Magic. In 2000, the Salem Witch Trials occurred in the United States... At least two of the so-called Puritan judges at that time were known purgers... The reason why the United States is now There are so many No-Majs and wizards with mixed-blood backgrounds in the No-Maj world precisely because some notorious Purifiers evaded pursuit by MACUSA. After the international arrest warrant was issued, these people disappeared forever among the No-Maj crowd. Among them. Some of them started to form families with No-Majs, and if the children they gave birth to had magical talents, they would be abandoned, leaving only descendants without magic to hide their identity as purifiers."

"The reason why the American wizarding community implemented secrecy measures that were even stricter than the Statute of Secrecy itself was that the Rappaport Law promulgated by the United States stipulates that wizards who are even willing to lock their wands in the cabinet cannot The same goes for marrying a No-Maj..." Hermione immediately added, "Bartholome Barebone, a descendant of the Purifiers. During an outing, the witch Dorcas Twelvetrees fell in love with him... Bartolome Romulus firmly believed in the existence of magic and believed that all wizards were evil and should be eliminated. Therefore, he managed to extract a lot of magic-related information from Dorcas and made it public, causing a serious violation of the international law of secrecy. ...This incident led to the MACUSA promulgating stricter laws to force a strict separation of No-Majs and the wizarding world to avoid such incidents from happening again." When Allen admitted in front of Hermione that he wanted to break the secrecy law, he used After giving the example of No-Majs and wizards not being able to get married in the United States, she understood the ins and outs of these rules and regulations.

"If you were in Ilvermorny branch... the crystal embedded in the forehead of the horned water snake would definitely shine... It's really impressive knowledge..." Leonard was stunned, "But the cat and leopard statue in my academy probably won't. I will roar at top academics like you..."

"I may not be able to make the Cat and Leopard statue scream, but Leonard..." Allen nodded first and then shook his head, "But Hermione and I will definitely... If she is not a strong warrior, no one will Forget it, maybe you forgot that she is from Gryffindor? Besides, the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts almost sorted her into Ravenclaw."

"No, Alan, don't praise me!" Hermione's face turned rosy at the sudden praise, which made Alan nod with satisfaction.

"And Hermione has a pet named Thunderbird, and she also likes adventure, so the wings of the statue of Thunderbird Academy, which is keen to accept adventurers, must be spread out for Hermione, while Pukki chose to accept the kind and noble healer...Hermione The umbrella led by the leader makes potions that are cheap and cheap, and she is also good at medical spells, so the Pukki statue will definitely raise the bow and arrow in her hand... If there are more than one academy statues expressing their willingness to recruit students, then the right to choose is It fell on the student himself, but this situation is very rare, Leonard, it seems that it only happens once in ten years?" Allen did not want to let Hermione go.

Hermione was already a little overwhelmed: "That's enough! Alan, don't say anything..."

"Miss Granger, maybe you think he is complimenting you because of your relationship? But you are indeed an outstanding witch... If you really do so much, you may be able to make all four statues react. "..." Leonard was also a little excited about this method that allowed him to interact with Jessica forcefully...but then he was struck by Hermione's eyes and remembered that he would have to talk to her about some investment matters later. His momentum immediately softened, and he coughed twice before changing the topic, "By the way, speaking of Pukechi... the Pukechi named William who saved the founder Isolt and her husband James may still be alive. Alive! You must know that you are so knowledgeable...To this day, there are still many Pukechi working at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...They still complain and insist that they do not want to stay in the school, but when they were young Year after year, the Pukkis still appear mysteriously in the school. No one knows how long Pukki's lifespan is, so no one knows whether William has passed away... However, there is a particularly old Pukki in the school. , will respond to the name 'William'."

Allen became a little interested: "Then this Pukechi's lifespan has long been over 300 years old..."

Leonard nodded: "This Pukechi has been guarding Isolt's marble statue, and puts a few May flowers on her grave every year on the anniversary of Isolt's death. However, if someone is careless, He would lose his temper whenever this matter was brought up. He also laughed off the idea that he was the Pukechi who saved Isolt and James, saying that if that William was still alive, he would be over three hundred years old. .However, many people still insist that he is Isolt’s former companion.”

"Next time I go to the United States, I have to go and see them... These arrogant little guys are much cuter than their distant European cousins, the goblins..." After Allen finished speaking, he saw that Hermione was also fascinated, He quickly exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Hermione! I'm thinking of someone!"

"Huh?!" Hermione, who was still immersed in the story, was startled by Allen's shouting. She raised her head suddenly and let her thick hair shake, "What? Who is that person?"

"Speaking of which, when I served as the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America for several years in the 1920s, the most prestigious witch at that time, Serafina Pickcore, encountered four colleges who wanted to recruit her..." Allen's expression looked serious. Seriously, "Maybe you can be the Minister of Magic for a few years in the future..."

"That's enough!" Although Hermione actually liked being praised, in order to maintain her dignity in this situation, she had to keep a straight face, and then rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I have to remind you, Mr. Knox And Ellen...it seemed like we were going to talk about your rigidity, Fuji Graves, who doesn't like Ellen in the American wizarding community."

"Uh..." Allen admitted with a weakened voice, "Uh... you're right..." Then he and Leonard looked at each other awkwardly and asked, "So, Leonard, this rigid Fuji Can you tell us the specific situation of the third generation?"

"As mentioned just now, the families of the twelve Aurors originally recruited by MACUSA are very influential in the American magical political circle. The man named Fuji Fuji who has the same name as his ancestor is one of them... This young man is very outstanding. He has been an Auror for a few years, oh, this is the tradition of these families... When he was in school, he made all the statues except Pukechi react, but he has always been more radical and believed that Ilvermorny is the most powerful person in the world. A good magic school. I am very talented in magic. I am a top student like you. I also have excellent speech and organizational skills. I have a strong appeal in the hearts of young people in the Magic Congress... You are very disgusted with Britain and Alan. , after those remarks you made during the summer vacation of fifth grade, you have clearly expressed your dislike for Harris's autocracy in public many times... You also opposed Miss Granger's umbrella coming to the United States, but you know our style, and you are interested in investing in one. He is very popular, so his views are too radical in the eyes of us old men..."

"Sounds like he's a young guy with a bit of talent..." After Allen finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. "Speaking of Hermione, Abraham Potter, one of the twelve Aurors in the United States, and Harry also have some talent. As for distant relatives, after Harry became the Boy-Who-Lived, enthusiastic genealogists looked at the connections between their family trees."

"Ellen, don't take it lightly. Your live broadcast duel with Voldemort and the education reform declaration silenced these people for a while, so our neutral faction won this time because of this relationship..." Leonard's expression returned to seriousness, "This was a big blow to this small faction, but after that, Gangfuji seemed to become more tactful, using his social talents to make friends with many people, and because Ian was not involved, But like many young people, I became friends with him and often went to bars to drink together. That’s why I want to remind you... It’s not just the rigid Fuji in the United States. Of course he doesn’t have the ability to do anything to you, but I think young people in many countries Here...I know there are more people who admire you, but if you act too unscrupulously and make others feel threatened, you will push them to the opposite side..."

"Thank you very much, Leonard. Like Professor Flitwick, you have always taken good care of me and treated me as one of your own..." Allen thanked you sincerely, and then paused, "But in the end, I still have a question. , Forgive me, I just noticed that you said that they often go to bars, so Fuji Fuji likes drinking very much? But in recent changes...have you become more alcoholic...for example, often take a sip from a wine bottle or something?"

"Of course not, he hasn't reached the point of being an alcoholic yet... huh?" Leonard understood what Allen meant because of his profession. "Alan, I know that Percival Graves is also from his family. , but since the head of security of the Magic Congress was directly impersonated by Grindelwald with his superb transformation skills, the Magic Congress has conducted security checks on its members from time to time. Both the polyjuice potion and the transformation skills are hidden. Can’t live…”

Allen shrugged upon hearing this: "I've read too many novels recently..."

After a "boom" sound, a woman's screams and cries came from outside the door.
