A team of six Ministry of Magic management visited Hogwarts at breakfast time and walked into the Great Hall in a grand manner. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-

After receiving the notice from Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, who was the receptionist, walked over to Slughorn's side with a straight face and whispered a few words.

The Ministry of Magic official who followed him couldn't even wait a few seconds, and walked to the Slytherin table with an excited face, and opened his mouth in a soft voice, as if he was afraid of scaring the other party: "Hello Master Snape, first of all, congratulations on your happy marriage!" ”

This wizard named Sevich is the new director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. Because of Gail's incursions, Barty Crouch, who was supposed to be a rival with him, was disgraced by his son early, and is now on a long vacation without pay at home - Barty Crouch Jr. has been on the front lines of Death Eater terror many times since he graduated, and the evidence is conclusive - this has made Crouch Sr. lose the trust of the people.

So Sevic, who was originally on par with Crouch, successfully squeezed out his opponent and got the position of director. As a politician with the exact opposite style of his opponent, he is not much more likeable than the rigid Crouch. But in a way, at least the eyes of others will not offend people to death like old Crouch.

The Slytherins, who were relatively close, almost lost their demeanor when they heard such an opening statement. The Ravenclaw table, which was closest to Slytherin, was filled with a few screeching sounds of knives and forks on plates and choking or choking coughs.

Severus looked at Sevic in front of him with a blank expression. Being looked at so coldly almost made it difficult for the other party to continue to speak next.

But fortunately, this Ministry of Magic official did not come alone, and immediately after he was speechless, someone took his place: "We want to talk to the master and your companion, Mr. Green, can we?" It was all negotiating, almost begging.

In the next second, Gale was the focus of all Slytherins' attention.

The Slytherins were almost always members of the old family, and naturally knew a thing or two about the marriage contract that had been concluded without the Ministry of Magic. What's more, yesterday really seemed to be the Chief's 17th birthday, and the conditions for the formation of the marriage contract were also in front of him, and these guys who still remembered calm and decent couldn't see it on the surface, but they were all thinking about the good night of the Chief and Master Snape in their hearts.

Gail naturally didn't miss the strange curvature of the corners of those people's mouths. Well, he didn't feel malice, but he was still very unhappy in his heart! He felt that his secrecy and selfishness, with Severus, were being spied on.

Gail snorted and turned to Skrin, "It's still too idle, isn't it?" ”

"No, Chief." Skrin immediately knew what Gale was up to, and wanted to ask for intercession. But in the end, he nodded sternly under Gail's glare, "Okay, chief." ”

Then, Gale and Severus, along with the Ministry of Magic, temporarily borrowed a small room next to the hall in the company of Slughorn.

The obvious goal of the Ministry of Magic officials is Gryffindor, Gael's real name for magic.

For wizards, it's rare to use your full name. Most of the time, they use more forms such as "first name and last name". Even when registering some information in the Ministry of Magic, it is just "the first, middle, and last name" to show solemnity.

After all, given that there are so many wizards, the names are really long, and each generation has to add some memoral, blood-related, and special middle names between the first name and the surname, and if you really want to record them all, I'm afraid it will take a small half of the parchment to fill a complete name.

Just like in the original book, Harry's name is Harry Potter, plus the middle name is Harry James Potter. Unfortunately, Harry didn't make it back to Potter Manor until the end, otherwise Harry would have found that he even had the magical name "Peverell" in his name - think of the cloak of invisibility as a family heirloom! That's the relics of the three Peverell brothers!

And for this reason, some of the magical real names in the text show more recent bloodlines or inheritance middle names. In addition to Grimm, a surname recognized by Gail's own name, the most recent is Gryffindor, so you can imagine how excited the old fritters who have been in the legal department of the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years and have recently been promoted to director and are familiar with all kinds of strange magical laws and regulations!

"Yes, I know, my bloodline can be traced back to Godric's Gryffindor's uncle. It's a pity that as the uncle of one of the Big Four, he is not a wizard. Gale graciously admitted, half-truth-and-half-truth.

"As for how I found out? Oh, maybe Headmaster Dumbledore should know something. As the Headmaster, you should be aware of the gradual decline of Hogwarts' defensive magic and the inability of anyone to do anything about it. ”

"What? Hogwarts' defenses are in decline? O Merlin! Even as a politician with a good psychological element, all the officials of the Ministry of Magic who had graduated from Hogwarts, including Professor McGonagall and Slughorn, couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't get excited, I mean ever!" Gail made a "calm" gesture and continued, "But luckily I came, and I was touched by some kind of blood magic, so Hogwarts is good now, just as good as it was when the Big Four were when the school was founded!" ”

"Merlin bless!" An official, who was probably a little more emotional, said with a crying voice.

While most of the people were rejoicing that Hogwarts had turned around, Slughorn was thinking about something else.

Where is this blood magic? How? Is it only a Gryffindor bloodline that can touch it, or can the descendants of the Big Four? So...... If the blood descendants of the Big Four can, why hasn't Voldemort been touched? Didn't even find out? Could it be that his parseltongue is faked? No! The Parseltongue can't be faked! So is he a descendant of Slytherin?

In the ranks of the Ministry of Magic officials, there is a male wizard who clearly belongs to the academic school. He opened his mouth a little excitedly when everyone was busy with emotion: "So, Mr. Prince, may I ask if your family has a damaged Wizard Birth Potion Finished Product or a Potion Formula?" ”

It was clear that everyone present was a little bit out of the way of thinking of the staff of the Department of Mysteries.

A lie will always be fulfilled by countless lies. Gail thought blankly, as if he had gotten away from it. I was only going to fool these Ministry officials with half-truths and half-truths, but it's clear that some out-of-the-box experts will always be able to find the loopholes in your words.

"What?" This is someone else who doesn't quite understand how the Witch Child's Potion could be the main topic of conversation.

"As Mr. Green said earlier, it was because of his blood that he triggered the Hogwarts defense system, and then the defense system no longer decayed. But here's the catch! We all know that the founders of the Big Four, Lady Crowe, had a daughter, but she never showed up after she left Hogwarts. Later, Ms. Ravenclaw herself said that her daughter had died. The wizard, who began to talk about the problems in the professional field, showed a look of disdain to the other few people who still hadn't understood.

"And the blood descendants of Hufflepuff, we all know the Smith family, who have kept the Hufflepuff Gold Cup for generations. In the same way, they have been at Hogwarts for generations—"

Most of the people present, including Professor McGonagall, heard this, and only then did they realize the loophole in Gale's words.

"So, I think there must be some other trait besides the bloodline inheritance that Mr. Green has that no one else has. That's what it means to touch the defenses! ”

The clerk shattered the impression that everyone present had of the Department of Mysteries as a "silent man". If it weren't for the fact that the timing wasn't right, Gail felt like he was almost going to applaud the man.

In fact, the adults present were all focused on Gale's face after hearing what the academic reticle had said.

Gail had to show an innocent smile: "So what does this have to do with the Birth Potion?" ”

"Uh...... Excuse me. A voice that was a little less confident sounded.

Everyone in the room followed the sound and found that in the corner near the door, the clerk was standing awkwardly with a quill and a roll of parchment in his hand.

"What's the matter? Resby. "Although Director Sevich knew his men, after all, he had come to report that Gael's second surname was Gryffindor, but it was clear that he did not remember his name clearly.

"Director, professor, I haven't transcribed their basic information. According to the Wizard Marriage Law...... Resby's voice faded under the glare of his immediate boss. He wished that he would immediately turn into a piece of wallpaper and stick it on the wall.

This sentence apparently brought Professor McGonagall to her senses, forcing herself to put away her boiling curiosity: "Yes, yes. Please! I remember you were a Hufflepuff graduate, right? ”

"Yes!" Resby replied excitedly, obviously not expecting to be remembered by the professor. You must know that when he was in school, he was the kind of mediocre person who had a hard time finding it in the crowd!

"It's clear that you're the only one out there doing your job, not idle." Professor McGonagall glanced meaningfully at the other five members of the Ministry, "instead of questioning his students in front of the professors like an inquiring long-tongued woman!" ”

"Minerva ......"

"Please call me Professor McGonagall, Director Sevic." Professor McGonagall mercilessly interrupted the former student from a different house. "The reason why Mr. Headmaster asked me to make it easy for you to talk to my students is because they have made a rare soul contract in recent times while they are still in school, and not because of some second family name."

Gail bowed his head and grinned in embarrassment - he seemed to be causing trouble for the principal and the professors again!

Professor McGonagall was in full swing, and after intimidating the "outsiders" who wanted to get to the bottom of it, she turned to Gale and Severus: "In fact, the Headmaster's exact words were, 'Some things will be known one day, but it's up to you to reveal them or not.'" You're already fine, and it's not your fault that bloodlines and contracts are formed naturally. In the end, Professor McGonagall's tone was even mild. This stunned everyone present - they had known this lady for many years, and it was the first time they knew that she had such a tender and loving side.

Professor McGonagall moved out of the way and motioned for Resby to register Severus and Gail's personal information, and she stood in front of Sevic, dealing with the apparently selfish men.
