Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?
Chapter 69: The Basilisk, the God of Onmyoji
They were thinking about how to compensate the shop owners for their losses after Hogsmeade closed, so they had to start negotiations.
There is still a lot of hard work waiting for them in the shelters of shop owners and villagers.
"Ah... the former principal's brother is here too. Hey... has he always been such a mysterious person? Now that his true face has been revealed, does it make people feel relieved?"
"Well... come to think of it, he really smells like a goat... and he's holding a goat... he even brought a goat with him to the shelter... can such a person continue to stay in Hogsmeade? Ah, what? Some people say that he will not lead students into the darkness, but is the safest person? He is not interested in students either, well... forget it, this kind of thing is not something we should worry about!"
"Okay, let's move on to the next task."
Next, a new fact was discovered.
I had been so busy closing down Hogsmeade that I hadn't had time to focus on anything else.
When the cherubim completed their final inspection, they found that the entire village was almost completely destroyed, the merchandise was damaged, and the question of compensation arose.
While Hogwarts was closed, staff were busy confirming the situation, and the increasing amount of work that ensued in preparation for its reopening.
Then they realized that they hadn't checked the damage inside Hogwarts at all.
Much of Hogwarts was destroyed during the capture of Hagrid and his giant spider Aragog.
"Oh no... Maybe I was too tired. I didn't even think about repairing the damaged areas... The other staff members just realized this problem, and everyone showed desperate expressions, because too many places in Hogwarts were messed up..."
"Ahh, I'm just avoiding reality and don't want to add more work..."
The cherubim reported that all of Aragog's spiderlings had been eliminated, but the cherubim also discovered that there were remaining spider eggs on the school.
The basilisk cherubim asked if they could stop by for patrol and eat the eggs.
They agreed.
The cherubim then mentioned that since the underground pipes lead to various places in the school, although the cherubim are asleep most of the time, if they suddenly wake up, the cherubim's well-intentioned patrols may "encounter" students, and the students will die.
They suggested that it would be best to seal the entrances to the toilets that led underground, as anyone who could speak snake language could open these passages.
"Yes, if that happens, she will become the second Ghost Myrtle. By the way, we have already thanked Myrtle. We all expressed our gratitude to her together. She seemed a little shy."
Although a Japanese Onmyoji told Myrtle that if she wanted to go to another world, they could send her there, she decided to stay in Hogwarts.
Myrtle said that although she was bullied a lot in Ravenclaw, she did not hate Hogwarts.
"However, Myrtle may be the youngest ghost in Hogwarts. The Yin-Yang Master said that she may have a close relationship with the cherubim. The Japanese snake is usually a symbol of the water god. Therefore, the cherubim was left in Hogwarts to protect the school. But when it accidentally killed a student, it may have bound Myrtle's soul to this body of water at that moment. Myrtle herself admitted that she can move freely in the water, but it is not so easy to move in other places."
"I see... Then continue to protect this place!"
So they returned to the restoration work.
The territory of Hogwarts is very vast, and the pipes inside the school alone are very complicated.
They dug up old materials, compared them with the detailed exploration records of the Cherubim troops, and discussed how to deal with dangerous areas.
At the same time, they also considered that this ancient and huge cherubim was very valuable and needed to be fortified in the basement to prevent it from being stolen or killed and sold while it was sleeping.
Indeed, Professor Kettleburn's excitement made people feel that those crazy people might not necessarily ignore it.
If they could resist even the professor's invasion, then they would be safe.
Later, the Cherubim discovered a new fact - a secret passage leading from under the Whomping Willow to Hogsmeade, and they were surprised to find that there were little spiders in the passage.
"The Whomping Willow...it should be very valuable, right?" The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures nodded in agreement.
They urgently need to investigate the ownership of the land in Hogsmeade. Is the house owned by someone or is it rented by someone? This is completely unclear.
So they immediately started an investigation.
However, this remains unclear due to years of neglect.
"Should we seal this passage, or keep it as an emergency exit...? It's really troublesome. Just submit this issue to the Council. This kind of thing should not be decided by ordinary employees. The Council and the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic should discuss it."
They wrote a report and submitted it to the Council and the Ministry of Magic.
"What should we do? Can we really finish it before October?"
Someone suggested that the cherubim should wake up and patrol at regular intervals to check the safety of the school.
So they decided to seal the pipes leading into the school, but keep a few exits so that the principal could conduct inspections.
At the same time, they also proposed to repair the parts of the school that were damaged by Hagrid and Aragog.
But the Hogwarts staff were exhausted and had no energy to complete the tasks, so they sent a distress signal to the board of directors.
The Council sent volunteers from pure-blood families.
They arrived in a heroic manner and repaired schools everywhere.
By the way, they also brought a professional restoration team, which brought a large amount of raw materials needed for restoration.
For areas that require professional skills, they command the team to carry out repairs, while they themselves use magic to quickly repair the parts that can be handled.
"Wow, pure-blood nobles are so handsome!"
Those who had previously thought that the pure-blood nobles were just arrogant now applauded these people who quickly completed the work when they were exhausted.
And these nobles didn't seem to mind this kind of praise.
"Oh, pure blood is really important!" they exclaimed.
Hogwarts looks brand new.
The Cherubim Troops said: "In addition to this, the Cherubim also infuse the school with magic as they patrol around."
"Oh, I see... Cherubim, what are you going to do next?"
"Stay asleep? But they suggest you wake up and do patrols during the long holidays? Not every year, but maybe every few years?"
"Hey? If someone pays for your travel expenses, would you be willing to come here every few years as a vacation? If you can live in a noble's manor, would you be willing to take on this task for a low price?"
"Then I'll try to ask."
So they had one more job.
They proposed to the Council and the Ministry of Magic that the cherubim should conduct security inspections every few years, and asked the nobles of the Council to take turns hosting the cherubim and provide luxurious accommodation.
At the same time, they also asked questions about the chaotic management of Hogwarts.
"What were you doing before?"
Finally, they said goodbye to the cherubim.
Although the Greek expert has not yet completed his round-the-world trip, he has returned to Asia to continue his investigation because he made a lot of money from this job.
Those Onmyojis are actually the clergy of the shrine that has worshipped the Yamata no Orochi since ancient times or the descendants of snake people, and they also want to go back.
So they bowed to the cherubim and left in style.
“There are all kinds of people in this world…”
