Chapter 57 International News
The ceiling still looks overcast, as it has been since the beginning of the school year. www.biquge.info On a rare sunny day, the owl delivering the letter came, swooping through the rain-splattered windows and sprinkling the raindrops on the heads and bodies of everyone in the auditorium. Most people are sending more mail than usual. Worried parents are anxious to find out what they know about their children, who in turn tell them that they are all right at home.
"Any news?" Phoenix sat down next to Rogge, who and Malcolm were watching the front-page news in the Daily Prophet.
"No, but there are reports of another Dementor attack," Rogge said, "and another person has been arrested." โ
"Unbelievable," Phoenix thought was a joke.
"Stan Sanpark. Rogge said.
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this person. Phoenix's mouth quickly filled with food.
Stan Sampark, a well-known Knight Bus conductor in the wizarding world, has been arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activities. Mr. Sampark, 21, was arrested last night by the police after a raid on his home in the Krapen district.
"Kind of impression, isn't it the one we met?" said Phoenix, who had a vague impression on his mind when he invited everyone to his house for Christmas and made a knight bus.
"He's probably under the Imperius Curse," Daphne said in a loud voice, across from him, "it's impossible to say. โ
"It doesn't seem like that. Malcolm said, "It says that he was arrested after someone heard him talking about the Death Eaters' secret plans in a tavern. If he had fallen under the Imperius Curse, he wouldn't have been able to go around talking to people about their plans, would he?"
"I guess I want people to see what they're doing. "Now people are panickingโyou know, Eloise Midgan has dropped out of school, and her father came to pick her up last night." โ
"As I said earlier, there's nothing to read with a newspaper. "When Phoenix unfolded the Swiss Flyer, he was greeted by a huge landscape photo.
Japan's Makhtokolo School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is in financial crisis, and Japan's Ministry of Magic may not be able to maintain the school's normal expenses, and the century-old school is in turmoil. Since 1992, most of the school's expenses have been provided by the school's trustees, and even so, the Ministry of Magic is still responsible. A spokesman for India's Gringotts said that Japan's Ministry of Magic has accumulated debts of 50 million gold and 320 million gold galleons. If the arrears cannot be paid by the end of the year, the United States, Switzerland, China, India, and Gringotts of Arabia will obtain the right to dispose of the debtor's effective assets. This means that this prestigious school may be forcibly confiscated.
A spokesman for Japan's Ministry of Magic said that Makhtokolo would never be sold, even if it sold all the land in Tokyo's Kappa Street.
For this major economic event in the wizarding world, we interviewed Mr. Carl Billo, the manager of Galleon, Switzerland, and the head of the European Gringotts headquarters - see the third edition for details.
Phoenix flipped over.
He was solemnly by the fire, waving his wine glass, and chatting with reporters. Birlo, pictured in the photo, appears worried, showing no sign of knowing the inside story at all.
Of course, none of us wants a prestigious school to become obsolete, but there are huge financial pressures in many places. In the United States, in particular, Mr. George Smith, who spoke to me about this problem. We have relaxed the repayment period as much as possible, but it is disappointing that the Ministry of Magic of Japan has not been able to do anything to deal with it.
When I asked Gringotts if it was really going to confiscate Mahtokolo, Mr. Billo said yes.
We carefully assessed the plots of land for all the shops in Kappa Street, which together were not enough to pay all the arrears, not to mention the interest. According to the Third Amendment to the International Wizarding Convention, signed in 1298, St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry is a non-profit organization, and no organization or individual can confiscate, investigate, or suspend its assets. The only one who can pay off the arrears is the Makhtokolo School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the most valuable in the province of Magic.
The International Confederation of Wizards has received confirmation from seven of the International School of Wizarding and Wizarding that they will accept students as soon as things get to the worst and guarantee that they have completed all of their studies in the wizarding world.
"What's the international news?" asked Rogge, the newspaper full of German, and Malcolm had already hurried to the first class.
Phoenix briefly explains what the news is about.
"Wow, those people are pathetic. I don't think anyone would choose to come to Hogwarts, but the other day, I saw that Hogwarts was ranked third from the bottom in the International Ranking of Magical Education. โ
Roger learns from Phoenix to have a knife cut through the pickled salmon and remove the bone spurs.
"It's not surprising that African Yogdu doesn't teach wand magic, and is the penultimate all year round. Makhtokolo is basically going to close its doors, and it seems that the school will be gone. Needless to say, Hogwarts is okay now, but who wants to let their children go to school in a country where the dark forces are spreading. Phoenix grinned, "Hey, listen to this." Carrotta Pinkston was arrested again for the deliberate use of magic in public, in violation of the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act, and for the fifth time he had been arrested for attempting to inform Muggle magic of its existence. France's Wizengamot is determined to let him die of old age in prison, and the rest of him keeps causing trouble, a member of France's magical law enforcement team told reporters. โ
The photo shows a hunchbacked old man, smiling at Phoenix, with an indifferent look on his face.
"It's weird," Rogge admitted, but he was more interested in the news of the school of witchcraft and wizardry, "Did you say they were going to add an international school?"
The topic came back to it.
"Yes, otherwise many people would have to go to second-rate schools. You know, admission is based on a person's magic โ that is, if your name doesn't appear on the list of eleven international schools and you can only go to second-rate schools in your home country, they are usually very bad, with incomplete teaching programs, or poor quality teaching. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, international famous schools cannot enroll students indefinitely, and some Muggle-born people can only go to second-rate schools, which is really unfair. They can't study abroad or homeschool like mixed-race, pure-bloods. As the saying goes, education is the only way to rejuvenate the country, and this is a difficult problem in the wizarding world. โ
"Is there such a saying?" Rogge looked incredulous.
"Sayings are not made up by people. "Maybe the American Magical Society will become the first country to have two international schools, and the Salem Wizarding Academy is also very good, but when it comes to judging, it loses to Ilvermorny." โ
Phoenix closed the newspaper. (To be continued.) )
