Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1294 Muggle Wizard Sanctuary

"what is that?"

   Hermione, who was originally focused on watching Harry and Ron team up to fight against Sirius, was startled by the sudden silver light cluster.

  Her scream disturbed the three who were concentrating on sparring.

  As soon as he was distracted, Ron was knocked out by an obstacle spell and fell heavily to the ground.

   "What's wrong, Hermione."

  Harry and Sirius stopped sparring, and frowned and looked in the direction of Hermione's finger. They saw a ball of silver light falling on the floor and turning into a silver cat.

   "Need to contact Albert's double-sided mirror." Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly sounded.

   "This is Professor McGonagall's patron saint?"

  Ron walked over rubbing his sore buttocks with his hands, and looked at the patron saint who disappeared without a trace.

   "Professor McGonagall wants to contact Albert?"

  Harry turned his head to look at Sirius, he had already guessed that Sirius and the others had a way to contact Albert.

   "Maybe there is something wrong. It seems that I have to go to Hogwarts."

   Sirius looked at the place where the patron saint disappeared, and walked directly outside.

   "Will it have something to do with Snape? I remember that the old bat seems to be the headmaster of Hogwarts." Ron felt that he had guessed the reason.

   "Probably not." Harry shook his head.

"No one wants the murderer of Dumbledore to become the headmaster of Hogwarts, maybe Professor McGonagall plans to join Albert to drive Snape out of Hogwarts, or..." Ron cut his throat Gesture, he felt that if they really wanted to avenge Dumbledore, it would be easy to make Snape disappear.

   "Definitely not, I think it's probably for students born in Muggle families." Hermione glanced at Ron, really unable to understand how Ron came to such a conclusion.

"Don't forget about the Muggle Birth Registration Committee. Those Muggle-born employees who worked for the Ministry of Magic were thrown into Azkaban. I don't think the Death Eaters will let Hogwarts go easily. Moreover, the mysterious man has always wanted to drive the 'Mudblood' out of Hogwarts, and now he has finally completely controlled Hogwarts, and no one can stop him from driving away students born in Muggle families, Mai Professor Ge obviously couldn't stop it."

   “Hopefully those students will be helped.”

  Harry was well aware of the difficulties those students faced.

  After being expelled from school for no reason, the Ministry of Magic may come to their door to confiscate their wands at any time, and find an excuse to throw them into Azkaban.

  Even if they want to escape, it is very difficult. They cannot use magic if they have traces on their bodies, otherwise they will be immediately targeted by the Ministry of Magic.

  This is how hopeless.

   "I believe Albert must have a way." Hermione comforted.

   "Anderson is not omnipotent, you can't count on him for everything." Ron really couldn't understand where Hermione's confidence in Albert came from.

"Albert is indeed not omnipotent, but he probably knew that this kind of thing would happen a long time ago. Don't forget the "Self-Defense Guide". Let’s talk about the main reason for this matter.” Harry still knew a little about Albert, and with that guy’s cautious approach, he must have made a lot of preparations, and sometimes he couldn’t help but suspect that Albert would be Gryffindor students.

  After receiving the patron saint summons from Professor McGonagall, Sirius rushed to Hogwarts with the double-sided mirror.

At this moment, the surroundings of Hogwarts are still protected by strong protective magic. When Sirius was considering whether to enter Hogwarts through the tunnel of the Whomping Willow, he saw Hagrid striding towards this side open the door for him.

   "Did you bring the mirror?" Hagrid gasped.

   "Bring it."

  Sirius produced a mirror from his robe pocket.

   "Let me tell you, Professor McGonagall has just received news that that **** Snape has been appointed as the new headmaster of Hogwarts. Maybe we should take this opportunity to kill him to avenge Dumbledore."

  Listening to Hagrid's whining and complaining along the way, Sirius frowned and asked, "I fully agree to take the opportunity to kill the snot, but I think Professor McGonagall definitely didn't look for Albert for this reason."

   "Professor McGonagall seems to want to protect students born in Muggle families who may be expelled." Hagrid only got a rough idea.

   "It's not easy."

   Sirius frowned when he guessed what Professor McGonagall wanted to do.

"Let's not talk about whether those students are willing, and... I mean, although the Fidelity Curse is a good choice, it will also bring a lot of problems, and it's not like putting those children in a safe cage and letting them go. "

   Sirius is not opposed to Professor McGonagall's plan, but such a plan is destined to be difficult to implement, and various problems are not so easy to solve.

  But he still felt that Professor McGonagall was doing the right thing. He asked Albert to consult and help solve the problem. Maybe that guy could provide a reliable solution.

   After the double-sided mirror was successfully connected, not only Professor McGonagall, but also other deans were relieved.

"professor?"

   Albert's slightly surprised voice came from the mirror.

   "Is there anything you want from me?"

"The mysterious man extended his claws to Hogwarts, and as you predicted earlier, Snape became the new headmaster of Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone present and said, "I think You must have heard about the Muggle-Born Registration Commission."

   "Are you worried that those students born in Muggle families studying at Hogwarts will be expelled by Snape?" Albert immediately guessed why Professor McGonagall was looking for him.

"Yes. After the Ministry of Magic announced the establishment of the Muggle Birth Registration Committee, they sent all Muggle-born employees in the Ministry of Magic to Azkaban." Professor McGonagall expressed his concerns: "I worry about those Guys also send Hogwarts Muggle-born students to Azkaban."

   "You are right to worry. The Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters will indeed do that. They now control the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts School. There is no one who can stop them."

   "Is there any way you can provide some help to those children?" Professor McGonagall asked expectantly.

"Unfortunately, I have tried my best to remind them that this day has come." Albert shook his head. "However, the effect is not very good. Most people prefer to trust their own judgment. When they don't encounter those things Before, I would not easily believe what others said."

   Albert didn't have much special feeling about the outcome of the Weasleys, maybe he knew it would be like this from the beginning.

   "Of course, I think the professor should have his own ideas." His tone was very firm.

   "We plan to build a safe house similar to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and use the Loyalty Charm to protect those children." Professor McGonagall briefly explained his plan.

   "That's a good idea, but it's going to be a lot of trouble."

   Albert seemed to guess that Professor McGonagall would say that, and explained, "People are not animals after all, and they probably can't tolerate being locked in a cage."

  Professor McGonagall opened his mouth, apparently not expecting to hear such words.

   "I suggest that you explain the situation to them directly, and adopt the method of voluntarily accepting protection. After all, not everyone is willing to accept your favor. It is best to give them the right to choose and let them decide whether to stay or not."

   "It seems that you already have an idea." Sirius was not surprised, he felt that Albert had probably thought of this idea a long time ago.

   "Tell me about your method." Professor Flitwick said with a smile.

"Occupy a building with a large enough area first, and use the Loyalty Charm to turn it into a safe area." Albert briefly described his method to everyone, "Well, it's probably a refugee camp, I remember Scrimgeour also I've made something similar before, it's similar anyway, but it doesn't need to be perfect."

   "Where can they go for limited asylum if they're desperate, and leave if they don't feel they need asylum."

   "As long as the safe zone is protected by the Fidelity Curse, it is considered safe."

  Professor McGonagall looked sideways at the other deans around him, and everyone quickly exchanged glances with each other, and they all felt that this idea was good.

   At least it is in line with their original protection plan, and Albert obviously thinks further, even thinking about possible follow-up problems.

   "But this can really... I mean provide students with..." Professor Sprout was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

  "You must let them understand that you are a refugee. Don't spoil them, because some people are born that way. The harder you force, the more resistant they will be..."

   Albert's words made them all stunned, not because they couldn't think of it, but because they didn't think about it.

   "Actually, you have been ignoring the big problem."

   "What big problem?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Where did the living supplies come from? Where did the Galleons who rescued them come from? Do you expect someone to shamelessly donate a large sum of Galleons?" Albert curled his lips and said, "I don't mind donating some flour and potatoes, But without the help of the house-elves, many students are having trouble even cooking food."

  The professors were silent again, because they really hadn't considered this issue from the beginning to the end. During their tenure at Hogwarts, they never had to consider the issue of food.

   "The Order of the Phoenix may not be able to provide much help." Sirius noticed Professor McGonagall's gaze, shook his head and said, "However, I can donate a hundred Galleons to them to buy flour and potatoes."

   The deans present here may have a little savings, but they are definitely not rich.

   Their Galleons can't fill this bottomless pit, but if they just barely maintain the minimum living requirements as Albert said, it shouldn't be too difficult.

   "The biggest question now is, will they really want to stay in that kind of ghost place?" Professor Slughorn asked with a frown.

   "I'm afraid they have no choice." Albert said suddenly, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic will soon set up a so-called search team."

"what is that?"

  "A search team formed by dark wizards hunts down Muggle-born wizards everywhere. Every time they catch a person, they can get a considerable reward from the Ministry of Magic." Albert explained.

   "It seems that we have to hurry up." Professor McGonagall nodded to the deans next to him.

"At that time, Hagrid can go over to help take care of them, after all, we still need someone to help maintain order." Albert's voice came from the double-sided mirror, "It's not a good idea to let him stay in Hogwarts .”
