To break certain traditions and change some things, there is always a price to pay.||For every two people who watch romance, there is an account that has registered an account on the network. For the British wizarding community, one of the three major sources of wizarding in Europe, change was inevitable. After a lengthy and intense discussion, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

A large notice was posted on the bulletin board opposite Hogwarts Hall:

At the request of the Ministry of Magic, all current students are requested to complete a family member questionnaire in the standard form and submit it to the head of their college by February 28. We hope that you will actively participate in the first Wizarding Census in the UK.

It was the signature of Dumbledore's round snare. Below, there is a copy of the census registration form from the principal himself.

Sklin relentlessly used his wand to float a large number of forms back to the common room at the bottom of the lake, just in time to meet the Parkinson's siblings who were also going back to the dormitory.

"I thought we had fewer people than Hufflepuff and Gryffindor!" The 12-year-old girl looked at the dozens of tables floating in the air, and her eyes widened, and she almost forgot to say hello, "Good evening, Senior Skelin." ”

"Good evening, Miss Parkinson. The main thing is the appendices, and the chief gentleman asked me to ask for more appendices, and what he said made a lot of sense. "Skrin returned the salute.

"What?"

"The appendices are mainly for kinship, and the chief gentleman asked me to bring back almost all of them. He felt that this might not be enough. ”

As the Slytherin house, which houses the largest number of ancient family members, Gail's fears are actually well-founded. Almost every Slytherin student has an unimaginably large number of family members within three generations alone.

After a brief conversation, the three of them had walked over to the damp stone wall. After saying the right command, after the stone wall opened the passage, Si Kelin directly gave the siblings two census forms: "Say hello to Mr. Parkinson on my behalf." Also, I've heard that the Ministry of Magic is planning to repair and renovate Diagon Alley lately, which is a big project, isn't it? ”

Considering the age of the two classmates, Si Kelin tried to make the hint as obvious as possible, hoping that the other party would understand what he had not done.

The Parkinson's girl obviously didn't understand what Skrin meant, but Johnson Parkinson, who had been silent from beginning to end, immediately understood, and his originally gloomy and pale cheeks flushed with excitement.

He hurriedly asked, "Senior, you mean...... What do you mean......"

"Parkinson's senior has only graduated for less than two months, and I heard that he had been in France for almost a month before being called there. Sometimes, it's better to maintain a certain amount of decency than to ruin your reputation. Facing the junior brother who was not yet up to standard, Si Kelin showed a standard aristocratic smirk, and left with the rest of the census form.

Behind him, the Parkinson's girl asked sharply: "Johnson! Why do you want to mention him, you ask? Aren't there enough troubles with the Parkinsons' family? ”

"He? He! He's our big brother! Johnson was unhappy with his sister's shame to speak up when she mentioned her eldest brother and replaced her with just a "he". But then, realizing that this was the entrance to the common room, he immediately took a deep breath to make himself less excited. He's going to contact his grandfather right away! The meaning of Senior Sklin's words couldn't be more obvious - the Ministry of Magic allowed some of the borderline people to trade Galleons for freedom!

Skrin turned the hallway of the stone wall, and could no longer hear the voice behind him. Sure enough, the chief lord's vision is very right, the girl in the Parkinson's family is a brainless guy. It wasn't a good marriage, and he felt compelled to tell his father about it. But Johnson, a first-year freshman, might be a good guy.

For a moment, Skrin even wished that the eldest son of the Parkinsons would be tried and imprisoned in Azkaban. It looks like his uncle's little niece will be enrolled next year. If the eldest son of the Parkinson's family loses his eligibility to inherit, maybe he will have a brother-in-law of the Parkinson's family in the future.

The thought flashed through him, and Skrin put it aside. Long-term investment is good, but the things in front of us are still a mess, and the Skrin family must be cautious in their words and deeds. Before the qiē is not clear, we must be cautious about a qiē! But...... Fortunately, he hugged a thick leg early.

It may seem humbling to say that, but Skrin is glad to be there. He was glad that he had provoked Gale a few years earlier, and that he had learned a lesson and was in awe. The reason why the Skrin family was able to escape now was precisely because of their original submission to Chief Green. Once again, he thanked Merlin for the arrangement.

Before the census was over, the Daily Prophet began a new round of headline bombardment, making everyone in Britain who could read the newspaper feel more and more untouched by the times.

"Why amend the Wizarding Act? Are the old guys in the Wizengamot idle and idle? "This is a wizard who was born to pull the people, and he doesn't want to have a lot of laws added to him without studying them thoroughly.

"Commercial taxes and land measurements? Well, I gotta say, people are under the roof. "The nobles who have been caught in the grip can be said to be the owners of most of the shops in Diagon Alley in England and most of the land in the British wizarding world. They have not yet extricated themselves from the crisis of the extermination of the Death Eaters, so they can only pinch their noses and use money.

"A new type of magic factory recruitment? Maybe you can try. I think the Ministry of Magic has reformed very well! "That's what most wizards who graduate out of their jobs are saying.

"Diagon Alley closed for a week after half a month? O Merlin! What are they going to do? Don't the stupid people of the Ministry of Magic have brains? One week! "This is the complaint of a housewife who runs the household every day to the Ministry of Magic.

"This fragrance called Chanel tastes good, but it stays a little shorter. Supposedly a limited supply? Do you know who made it? "This is what a young girl who hasn't been caught up in the Dark Lord's team has to say about Gail's behavior of fishing in troubled waters and enriching her store's pù merchandise.

Magic is always magical. In a week's time, he was able to transform a crowded, dirty Diagon alley into a clean, diverse, and modern shopping street.

The low, dimly lit shops that had been squeezed so that there was only one door in Diagon Alley were gone. Even the shopkeepers, who were forced to leave their shops for a week by the Ministry of Magic, had to admit that the tall and neat houses were much more beautiful than their original shabby shops! Thanks to the officially approved extension of the space outside the store! The Ministry of Magic is so good! At this time, the shopkeepers completely forgot about the scolding when they were forced to leave.

Diagon Alley's sewerage system was completely improved, leading to the London sewer project built by ordinary people. Of course, there are countless interception levels to ensure that no magical objects that could cause a big mess flow into ordinary people's society. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic once again set up more than a dozen positions to solve the problem of unemployed wizards wandering around.

"Merlin's eyes? What's that? A group of wizards who had been summoned to the Department of Mysteries by the recruitment notice asked suspiciously after a lot of evaluation.

"Well, it's like a monitor all the time."

"Not even Voldemort would do that! Monitor! Listen to the name, and know that it must be as disgusting as a dirty, vile, voyeuristic rat! "This is some indignant wizard.

"No, the new Supplement to the Wizarding Act, Supplement 167, states that the Ministry of Magic may not snoop on wizards and their families except under special conditions*. Our Eye of Merlin is responsible for watching over Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic, Hogsmeade, the Valley of Gochawk, and other places where wizards gather. This was to prevent the use of spells on Muggles without authorization, and to better control the whereabouts of Muggles who accidentally saw wizards. ”

"Insurance? Oh, no! "What fool would spend more money on something that he doesn't know if he can use it? And it's so unlucky! This is a wizard who has turned down an expatriate clerk from the Ministry of Magic.

But this refusal did not last. After an interview for Mr. Guò to enter the Magic Brain Factory established by the Ministry of Magic, and after discovering that he was missing part of his salary for the first time, he found out that he was compulsorily insured.

He, like most wizards, didn't say anything, but he was a little dissatisfied. It wasn't until later that he and his family never spent any more money on going to St. Mungo's for treatment, that they understood the meaning of insurance.

The British wizarding world began to run at a rapid pace like a big machine that had been cleaned of rust and added with moisturizing, smoothing, and oiling. At the end of the semester, all Hogwarts students have a dual Wizard and Ordinary Household registration. (In fact, before the first census, there was no concept of hukou in the wizarding world.) Ancient families have genealogies, and new families will also record their own family relationships. The Ministry of Magic doesn't know exactly how many people there are in the wizarding world. ）

On March 2, 1977, Gale finally turned 17 years old. This is also the day when the wizarding world recognizes that a wizard cub has finally come of age! Although Gale is not quite sure when he was born, it does not prevent him from standing proudly in front of the dressing mirror early in the morning and proudly looking at his handsome and majestic figure when he "finally grows up".

The full-length mirror compliments Gail by screaming things like, "Even if it's just a school uniform, it makes your eyes brighter" and "Your hair is as deep as night." The high-pitched tone of his voice made Severus feel a throbbing pain in his temples.

However, it is rare that Gail does not treat the mirror with a silencer charm, which shows that Gail is not averse to the compliments of today's mirrors. Severus felt that for Gale's good time, he could tolerate the excitement of the mirror in their living room, which had rarely spoken a few times in more than six years.
