Chapter 18: Special Issues

Just when everyone thought the meeting was coming to an end, Mr. Parkinson (Pansy Parkinson's grandfather) suddenly interrupted the moderator. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"I have here a letter of complaint about Hogwarts that I received some time ago, and I hope that we in the Wizengamot will be involved in investigating some issues. Since there are two Hogwarts executive councilors here today, I think it would be okay to make this issue a temporary topic, right?"

"Look at everyone's opinions," Holly glanced at the other executive directors, who seemed to be interested in the issue as well. "Then please tell the old gentleman a brief explanation, and then everyone will discuss, since everyone is here, I think it will be easy to come up with a solution. ā€

"Well, someone wrote an anonymous letter to the Wizengamot to report that a teacher at Hogwarts was attacking a student in a Quidditch match, and they wanted us to step in and investigate. After saying this, Mr. Parkinson sat down, and that was all he could see.

Hearing this, all the wizards present were serious, and they all shone - this is a good and honest intervention in Hogwarts, and it will definitely have the support of the Ministry of Magic, but... How do you find a candidate who can be accepted by both sides to enter Hogwarts?

Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to the two girls sitting in the main seat. There's no better fit than the two of them... He is both a student at Hogwarts and a member of the Wizengamot. And because of the two of them, the other Wizengamot members also have a lot more workload. It's not bad to have such an opportunity.

Considering the situation of the two girls, this arrangement can also maximize the two girls to enter the role in advance. After all, the amount of work that Wizengamot does each year is no joke either.

It didn't take much time to balance the needs of all parties on what everyone agreed on, and the family names behind the chief wizard and the second wizard did not allow other families to covet them.

Although the appointment of special observers still needs to be approved by the Ministry of Magic, given the attitude of the Ministry of Magic when dealing with Hogwarts, everyone believes that this personnel change will definitely be approved and distributed to all departments and Hogwarts as soon as possible after the Christmas holidays.

After the meeting, Erinka went straight to Holly, both of whom had something to say and some doubts that they needed to explain.

"So you're here. Holly pointed out her thoughts directly.

"Yes, that's why I'm here... But until then, I think we'll need some personal time to get used to the change. ā€

"How's Diagon Alley?"

Erinka nodded, then took Holly's hand, and the two of them left the Ministry of Magic together.

Walking on the stone road of Diagon Alley, the two people were surprised to find that the time had gone three days before Christmas. Focusing on tutoring Wizengamot for too long, both of them have forgotten about the loss of time. Christmas is a novelty for Holly... Christmas in the orphanage in previous years was too monotonous. It's just a nice meal, and then it's time to go to bed early in anticipation of the next morning's Christmas present. A greeting card, or a set of stationery, is already a great gift for the children in the orphanage. After digesting the shock of the morning meeting together, the two decided to go their separate ways and go their separate ways to buy the gifts they wanted to give. Erinka bought a few very elaborate gifts, while Holly, after buying gifts for a few specific people, bought a lot of very simple small gifts in batches, just in case.

It's the afternoon of the 22nd, and Hogwarts will send all the students home on the morning of the 23rd. After the two said goodbye outside the dessert shop, Holly returned to Hogwarts alone in the Knight's Bus, while Erinka returned home to spend the Christmas holidays with her family.

On the morning of the 23rd, after bidding farewell to Lily, Holly returned to the school library alone, picked a window seat, and began to sort out the materials obtained from the inheritance ring. Outside the window, Hogwarts was filled with laughter. Funny Weasley brothers, having a snowball fight with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. In the empty campus, their laughter echoed. Holly couldn't help but think of what McGonagall had revealed while walking with McGonagall.

The same parents, the same orphan experience, but embarked on two completely different paths. One is under the care of everyone, and is taken care of. One is to provoke the family business early, and in the end, it is possible to make a wedding dress for someone.

Maybe it's a test for herself, Holly reassures herself. Although this comfort is pale, it is better than nothing. Thinking about it, Holly's eyes gradually lost focus. It wasn't until Mrs. Pince called her back when the library was closed. This isn't the first time Holly has sat alone by the library window in a daze. Mrs. Pince knew that a month into school had been spent there by Holly. And because of her status as an earl, no student had the courage to sit in the place where she had sit. Over time, the table by the window became the place for Holly and her friends.

The next day, when Holly was awakened again by Mrs. Pince, it was not yet six p.m., and Mrs. Pince told her that Christmas Eve would be a must for all students who stayed at the school. The library will also close early on this day.

Arriving at the decorated hall, Holly found that the entire hall had changed, and the four long tables had disappeared in favor of an oval table, with teachers and students sitting next to each other. Gryffindor contributed the lion's share of the remaining students, and the four boys of the Weasley family, plus Harry, directly exceeded the other three houses combined. For this reason, a lot of effort has been put into the arrangement of the seats. Snape, who had no students from his own house on campus, sat next to Holly, and on the other side of Holly was Flitwick. It not only effectively separates the students of Snape and Gryffindor, but also allows each student and teacher to have ample opportunities to communicate.

It was by the opportunity to communicate with the teacher that Holly inquired about the duty arrangements of the teacher and the prefect from Flitwick. Holly then asked Dumbledore to follow his teacher and seniors on the evening round. He didn't get a very positive answer, but Holly knew that in another two or three days, Dumbledore would have to agree to his request.

It was probably one of Holly's busiest Christmasmas, especially when she got up and saw the presents under the tower's Christmas tree.
