Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"Since you're not planning to leave school immediately, why apply so early? You should know that you're still technically an underage wizard, and you can't cast spells outside of school grounds." Snape tried his best to dissuade him.

"You should also know that I've been running a little business outside of school, and I have to check on it from time to time. After all, I'm still in the rising stage of my career. But I won't be staying outside of school all the time. Actually, this early departure application is just so I can freely enter and exit the school usually."

"As for casting spells outside of school..." Anduin smiled slightly, took out something that looked like a certificate from his pocket, and handed it over. "You can take a look at this."

"Roving Enforcer Certificate? You applied for this during the summer? I remember this certificate is supposed to be applied for in the seventh year at the earliest. How did you get this?" Snape looked at Anduin with some surprise at the certificate in his hand.

This type of certificate isn't actually very useful in Britain. The Longbottoms had previously introduced the Roving Enforcer Certificate to Anduin. This certificate is also known as a Bounty Hunter Certificate by many foreign wizards. With it, they can legally use violence against wanted wizards in the area and submit the wanted criminals to the local Ministry of Magic in exchange for a bounty.

This type of certificate is more popular in areas with relatively chaotic situations, because in those places, some wizards are wanted criminals in the Ministry of Magic of certain countries, but not in others. If Aurors want to enforce the law across borders, they have to coordinate with the local Ministry of Magic, which is relatively troublesome.

But it's different for bounty hunters. They don't care about all that. They sneak into the corresponding country, arrest the suspect, send them back to the country or region that wants them, and earn a bounty.

Although the Roving Enforcer Certificate is basically useless in Britain, it has another benefit, which is that once successfully applied for, even if you are currently underage, you can freely cast spells outside of school. Of course, arresting dark wizards can also be used to claim bounties from the local Ministry of Magic with this certificate.

However, it is the convention of the British Ministry of Magic that this certificate cannot be applied for until the seventh year. The reason why it is noted as the seventh year instead of 17 years old is mainly to provide convenience to the very few young wizards who reach the seventh year but are not yet 17 years old, because in the past, there was a phenomenon of skipping grades in school.

The reason why Anduin was able to apply for this certificate before the age of 17 and before the seventh year was mainly because Minister Badeno gave him a green light.

After all, Anduin is now a supplier of equipment to the Ministry of Magic. It is normal to test some equipment or something and cast spells outside of school. Moreover, he was previously a battle hero famous in the Ministry of Magic and has already proven his ability.

So Minister Badeno took it upon himself to open a green channel for him and even revoked his Trace.

However, Anduin couldn't conveniently tell Snape about this, so he could only casually perfunctorily say, "You don't need to know how I got this certificate. It's enough to confirm that the certificate in my hand is real."

"Hmph!" Seeing that Anduin had prepared almost everything, Snape suddenly lost his temper and could only glare at him in vent, and then signed and approved the other party's application to leave school.

"Dear Headmaster, I know you can't bear to part with me, but I also have my difficulties, don't I? With the current state of Slytherin, winning the House Cup in these two years is just a piece of cake." Anduin couldn't help but tease a few words when he saw Snape's face was so ugly.

"You arrogant and conceited guy, it's best to disappear from my sight as soon as possible." Snape snorted coldly again, and then gave Anduin a meaningful look.

"By the way, Headmaster, can I ask you about something?" Anduin suddenly remembered something and asked casually.

"Speak if you have something to say, don't waste my time." Snape still had a straight face.

"Do you know Aselia, Aselia Rowle, who is a junior a year below you?" Anduin suddenly remembered that this suspicious woman seemed to be a classmate of their Headmaster.

"Aselia? Is that the very beautiful one?" Snape tilted his head and recalled, and then remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

"I'm so glad you still remember her. What kind of person is she in your impression?" Anduin asked further.

"She and I are not from the same House, how would I know so much in detail? I only remember that she seemed to be very popular, which may be the privilege of being beautiful. What are you asking about this for?" Snape asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, just asking about a friend." Anduin casually perfunctorily said, and then thought of something, and asked another question, "Do you remember what wand she used?"

"Wand?" Snape felt that Anduin's questions were extremely strange, but he still carefully recalled, "How would I know what the specific wand is? I only remember that it seemed to be dark, either blackthorn or black walnut."

Anduin raised his eyebrows when he heard this answer, "Thank you, Professor, you have helped me solve a very important doubt."

Snape glanced at him inexplicably, then thought of something, and then put on an unwilling expression, took out a small box from the drawer next to him, and pushed it in front of Anduin and said, "This is for you. As the Head of Slytherin, this will be regarded as your reward for helping the House, so as to avoid people always gossiping behind my back, saying that I am not sympathetic."

Oh? Why is this Headmaster Snape suddenly so kind? Anduin looked at the small box in front of him with some surprise, and then opened the box in front of the other party.

A bottle of light golden potion lay quietly in the small box.

Seeing this potion, even Anduin, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but widen his eyes and shrink his pupils.

Because Anduin was so familiar with the potion placed here, it was the Felix Felicis that he had once owned a bottle of. This potion is difficult to make, not only are the materials precious, but the production cycle is also ridiculously long. Because he was reluctant to pay for the materials, he had never tried to make it, and he only had a small half bottle left over from before.

Did this Headmaster eat the wrong medicine today, or did his conscience discover him? He actually sent such a big gift, and still put on a stinky face.

Anduin was slightly stunned looking at the potion bottle, and seemed to have discovered something again, and then observed it carefully again with some uncertainty.

"What? Have you never seen anything good before? Is this ordinary stuff worth you spacing out for so long?" Snape felt a surge of pride in his heart when he saw Anduin was stunned there, and then said with a slightly proud tone.

After Anduin confirmed what he thought, he silently closed the small box and looked at Snape with a solemn expression, "Thank you for your gift, Headmaster, this is truly an amazing gift."
