The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

"Look! That's the Minister of Magic! Followed by Percy, they must have come to get that crazy toad."

"They won't come to capture Peeves, will they?"

"How is it possible? It's a special ghost that can disappear at any time. Except for Barrow the Bloody Hand and the principal, Peeves is not afraid of anyone."

"They came over, looking at their faces and expressions, I don't know, I thought some great person died."

"Stop talking, after all, a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Magic has gone crazy, so let's back off a little bit, if the shit pot gets caught on your head, it will be troublesome."

"···"

The little wizards pointed at Fudge and Percy, saw their serious expressions, and exuded an aura of grief, and gave way to them one after another. The two entered the foyer and went straight to the auditorium, where Professor McGonagall was waiting. They are gone.

"Sorry, Mr. Minister, Peeves, as the ghost of Hogwarts, has existed for more than 1000 years, and the previous headmasters have been unable to do anything about it," Professor McGonagall held the ghost in his hand when he saw the two coming in. The birdcage was handed to Percy, "Fortunately, it has realized its mistake and locked itself in it. Take it away, maybe Azkaban is a good choice."

"Professor McGonagall, what happened last night made our Ministry of Magic understand one thing more deeply," Fudge continued without looking at Peeves in Percy's hands, "there is a Serious problem, before poor Dolores was not crazy, she reported to me what happened here, for this reason, we issued a caning order to Hogwarts, of course, punishment is not the end, this is all for these For the sake of the future of the little wizard."

"However, on that day, our deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic was driven mad by a ghost? Don't you think it's too coincidental?"

"Mr. Minister, Hogwarts has already abolished whipping as a means of punishing students, and you can't let it take effect again because of some unwarranted things." Professor McGonagall was not afraid of Fudge's aggressive aura at all, "As for the coincidence? I do not understand what you are saying."

"Don't understand? Well, let's not talk about this! Fred Weasley and George Weasley actually played a prank on a senior Ministry of Magic official and Hogwarts Vice-Headmaster, and then dropped out of school!" Fudge showed an exaggerated expression of horror, and continued, "How long has it been since I've heard of such a thing? Is there anything worse than this?"

"You can't kill everyone with one stick. They are just an exception. Besides, you shouldn't reflect carefully. Why did their prank be used on Dolores Umbridge?"

"Dolores is a good person. She paid an unimaginable price for the education of the wizarding world!"

"That's right! Are you referring to her prison-style management? Or her completely useless teaching content? Or persecution of little wizards, long-term use of sedatives, such absurd learning methods? As far as I know, only Shengmang Ge those mental patients with abnormal minds are like this!"

"You!" Fudge was suspicious of life. How can people who came out of Hogwarts speak better than one another?He found that he was completely no match in this regard, and decided to end the topic, "Professor McGonagall! Dolores is already crazy, and she is meaningless, isn't it?"

"Hmph! You came up with this topic yourself, I'm just talking about the facts!" Professor McGonagall didn't give Fudge, the Minister of Magic, any face.

"Okay, okay," Fudge took a deep breath, took out an education order and handed it to Professor McGonagall, "Percy Weasley, he will take over the position of senior investigator and professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this is the new Education Order."

"Percy?" Professor McGonagall looked at Percy, who was holding a Peeves birdcage. The former Gryffindor prefect and the current assistant to the Minister of Magic had a strange expression on his face. "Are you sure?"

"Of course! I believe him," Fudge nodded and patted Percy on the shoulder. "His ability to work in the Ministry of Magic is obvious to all. Well, this is the end of today's business. I will take Dolores Wu Mrich."

After Fudge finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. He suddenly thought of something, looked around the auditorium, "Where's the black cat? Macon?"

"Macon has been busy researching his alchemy props recently, and I heard that it is something called a black and white cat meowing." Professor McGonagall suppressed a smile and continued, "So he is not here now, you have to To find him, we can only go to Floating Void City."

"The black and white cat meowing? He should invent something useful, not such a weird thing, and those alchemy dolls, they are just playthings!" Fudge shook his head in disappointment, "Say hello to him for me , Let’s just say this trick, it’s really good!”

Floating city, alchemy workshop.

"Professor, this thing looks like a roaring letter." Mihos looked at a piece of parchment the size of a newspaper floating in the air, half black and half white, and he was repeatedly folding himself into a cat's head.

"The black-and-white cat's meowing was inspired by the roaring letter, but it's completely different from it," Macon snapped his fingers, and the crimson alchemy array moved back and forth on the black and white paper, "it's more than It can produce sound, and it can also repeat the recorded video.”

"Professor, this is the multimedia newspaper you mentioned?" Bowen scratched his chin, full of interest in the black and white cat meowing. "Isn't the cost too high?"

"Berwin, this is not a one-time newspaper. The cost of throwing it away after reading it is high. Think about it, how much does it cost to subscribe to the Daily Prophet for a year?" Macon smiled triumphantly and continued, " And our black and white cat meowing, only needs one Gold Galleon, it can be used forever, and the latest reports from the wizarding world are updated on time every day."

"Isn't the profit very low? If it is not damaged, those saving wizards, put a cover on them." Bowen raised a new question. The ultimate goal of any business is to make a profit. He said I still understand.

"Berwin, I think the professor will place some advertisements on it, just like the Daily Prophet, but the charges must be higher. After all, the meowing of black and white cats can not only show coherent images, but also sound. Those businessmen only need to see If you see benefits, you will definitely squeeze your head!" Mihos is full of confidence in Macon's invention, and she has even imagined the scene where black and white cats meowing are popular in the wizarding world.

Diagon Alley, across from the Black and White Cat Puppet Hall, a shop next door to Gringotts, left a black cloth covering the signboard, and the familiar sign, one black and one white nestled together, immediately attracted many shoppers wizard.

"Look at that store, has it opened a branch with the Black and White Cat Puppet Hall?"

"No, look at the name, black and white cat meowing? What kind of weird shop is this?"

"I'm a little familiar with the person at the door. Isn't that Rita Skeeter, a well-known reporter from the Daily Prophet?"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look. These days, there must be some rare things related to black and white cats. Maybe we can buy a batch first and save them, maybe we can sell them at a high price!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Old man, I have to say, your brain is really smart!"
