Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

The Thestral carriage moved very fast. In only about 10 minutes, Eric and the two of them had already arrived at the hunting ground guard Hagrid's hut, where the half-blood giant Hagrid was already waiting for Dumbledore.

Seeing the carriage stop, Hagrid immediately trotted over, helped Dumbledore and Eric down, respectfully took the reins of the Thestral, and bowed awkwardly to Principal Dumbledore: "Good afternoon, Principal. "

"Good afternoon, Hagrid, and thank you for the carriage."

Dumbledore looked at the big hound Fang Ya who rushed to his feet, leaned over and scratched its chin, and with the movement of his fingers, he summoned a fragrant meatloaf and stuffed it into Fang Ya's mouth.

"It's an honor to be able to help you." Hagrid smiled honestly, then sadness appeared on his face. He stopped talking for a while, and finally asked in a low voice: "You will not leave Hogwarts. Right? Principal."

Dumbledore and Eric were both a little stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other. Dumbledore pushed his eyes, and a novel look appeared on his old face: "Of course not, and I don't either." Wouldn’t think anyone could ask me to leave the school I love.”

"But why do you have such an idea? Hagrid, I thought you didn't want me to be the principal. If that's the case, I might consider it."

Dumbledore smiled humorously and threw a meat pie to Fang Ya again.

His words fell into Hagrid's ears, causing a look of fear on the face of the hybrid giant. Hagrid waved his hands anxiously and shook his head rapidly: "That's not the case, Mr. Principal, you know that I respect you very much. but……"

Hagrid shook his head and took out a newspaper clipping from the pocket of his coat, which was made of dozens of moleskin. After rummaging for a long time, he pulled out one and handed it to Dumbledore in front of him: "The newspaper said , the vast majority of people in the Ministry of Magic recommended that you become Minister of Magic, just after what happened yesterday."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and looked at the newspaper in surprise. Then he laughed and showed the opposite side to Eric: "I didn't expect that the odds of the ministerial election published by the Daily Prophet were mine."

Eric glanced at the odds above, and suddenly remembered the conversation his parents had in the car when they went to Diagon Alley that day, and made a mental note of it.

"Actually, I think it is indeed a wise choice for you to be the Minister of Magic, especially in the near future."

Eric took the newspaper and read it for a moment, then smiled and suggested to the principal next to him: "As for the candidate for the next principal, I have already thought about it. Professor McGonagall or Professor Severus Snape are both." very suitable."

"The future?"

Dumbledore put down his hand, with a little surprise on his face, and slowly shook his head: "I am not a competent leader."

"But I was surprised that you recommended Professor Snape. I didn't expect that he would have such a high status in your mind."

The principal looked at Eric with a playful expression. After saying goodbye to Hagrid, the two of them walked towards the castle: "I also think that they are indeed very good leaders, but they are not suitable for now."

Dumbledore squinted his eyes and looked at the castle. Because it was Sunday, many young wizards were chasing and playing on the grass. There were also many students lying on the grass, enjoying the afternoon sunshine: "Actually, I always thought you You will be the most suitable candidate to take over my position. Eric, you are brave, smart, strong, and cautious and polite enough. This is a quality that many children and even adults do not have. But equally, I think you Just like Mag and others, it is not suitable at the moment, regardless of age..."

Eric looked at the professor next to him in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment, but for now, his goal was not just to be the principal of a magic school.

After parting ways with Dumbledore, Eric returned to the Gryffindor Tower. As soon as he entered the common room, he was pulled by his classmates to the first-year permanent area next to the lounge.

The classmates chattered and kept asking him questions one after another, which made him a little confused.

"Wait, come on one by one, what do you want to say to me?"

The students were quiet for a while. Alia Spinnet raised the Daily Prophet in her hand and asked Eric first: "Eric, where have you been these two days? We saw you in the newspaper." Picture standing with Professor Dumbledore."

amount……

To be honest, the joy of returning home in the past two days completely made him forget about the newspaper. In addition, he went to bed too late last night and didn't have time to read today's newspaper.

Seeing the newspaper in Aria's hand, Eric took it over and began to read the Daily Prophet's report on yesterday's battle at the Ministry of Magic.

But as he looked at it, there was an expression on his face that said, "You are teasing me."

The Ministry of Magic did not truthfully report yesterday's Battle of the Ministry of Magic. It only reported on the battle on the fifth floor, and also attributed the victory in killing the invaders to Taos Foley and Barty Crouch.

Eric read until the very end of the article before he saw a sentence mentioning them.

"...When the elites from the Ministry of Magic rushed to the scene, through collective efforts, everyone worked hard to rescue two teachers and students from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who were surrounded by monsters and were invited to attend a meeting at the Ministry of Magic. …”

Where did you learn this ability to tell lies with open eyes?

Eric searched for a long time in the huge page before he found the author of this article: Seth Bagno.

"Who is this guy?"

Eric pointed at the name and looked at the classmates around him. Good guy, even the marketing account wouldn't dare write it like that.

Fred Weasley spread his hands, pursed his lips and introduced Eric: "He is the youngest son of the current Minister of Magic, Bagno, and serves as one of the deputy editors of the Daily Prophet."

"That's no wonder."

Eric read the article again. When he left the Ministry of Magic yesterday, he seemed to hear Dumbledore say that the monsters not only kidnapped the envoy, but also kidnapped Minister Bagno.

But there was no mention of this matter in this article, and even the monsters detained by the Ministry of Magic in the ten underground floors did not mention anything at all.

Sure enough, the first element of playing politics is to master the pen.

Eric turned to another page. When he got the newspaper, he discovered something unusual.

In today's newspaper, the huge front page was actually divided into two halves, and apart from the photo of the Ministry of Magic, the other half of the photo showed a full moon.

"I heard that there were many murders across the UK yesterday. It's terrible."

Claire saw Eric flipping the newspaper and sighed beside him.

Eric nodded and agreed. The three explosions in the mall yesterday alone probably killed and injured many people, and many people from the Ministry of Magic entered St. Mungo's, such as the Skrein he overheard last night. Jay, and that big guy Runcorn.

But when he read along the report, he realized that compared to the casualties in the newspaper, the Ministry of Magic's was simply child's play.

Under the influence of the full moon, many witches appeared in London, some in the city and some in the countryside. They rode on slow broomsticks, kidnapped children and killed men everywhere.In addition, there are also those dark creatures that are troublesome in the magic world, such as giants, vampires, and werewolves... These creatures also became extremely crazy and difficult to kill last night.

And under the cover of last night's riot, they also began to attack humans crazily. Even the dementors in the Azkaban Prison of the Ministry of Magic also rioted. When the Ministry of Magic arrived this morning, they found three One-third of the prisoners were completely turned into idiots, and a dozen prisoners even lost their lives directly last night.

Although the Ministry of Magic launched a counterattack and arrested many witches who caused trouble, most of them fled the scene.

But these are not the point. The point is that the witches last night didn't care about the secrecy laws at all. As if they wanted to deliberately spread fear, they swaggered in front of the Muggles and swayed their magic wantonly, making many Muggles realize To the power of magic.

This completely violated the principle of the International Law of Secrecy. After learning of the news, the International Federation of Wizards immediately sent a warning letter to remind the British Ministry of Magic not to destroy their thousands of years of efforts.

"Man, I dare say that Minister Millicent Bagno is definitely doomed." Lee Jordan was chewing a piece of cream cake and said vaguely: "I heard that she didn't care about international affairs after she became minister. Secrecy Act."

Angelina shook her head and retorted to Lee Jordan: "Don't talk nonsense, Jordan, that's because everyone is celebrating the fall of the mysterious man."

Eric finished reading the report and rubbed his chin with his left hand, thinking about the news he got in the newspaper.

The Ministry of Magic has not figured out how many witches appeared last night, but what is certain is that since the system has given a quota of 20 to kill... and now there are only 19, it means that there should not be too many enemies.

Moreover, Eric has also experienced the strength of those witches. With his current level, he can easily destroy them. The only thing that is more annoying is the immortality they showed last night.

If there is no blood moon, will they still have immortality?

Eric suddenly felt that he needed to find an opportunity to go out and test it out.
