Chapter 10 My family is professional
Gabriel Truman didn't have a good idea, he accepted Albert's offer, and being expelled from Hogwarts was an outcome that he couldn't accept anyway.
After writing the letter, Truman looked at the owl flying away, looked at Albert and asked, "Is this really okay?"
"The school side was probably taken aback, I don't think they would just expel a student, at least they would figure out what was going on. Albert comforted that the freckled teenager was calmer, and it should be said that he was infected by Albert's calmness.
"Can you lend me the letter?" Albert asked.
"Oh, yes, what a disaster. Truman smiled wryly, "During the summer vacation of my first year, I was warned by the Ministry of Magic once for using magic in front of my family. ”
He handed the letter to Albert and explained, "Hogwarts students are not allowed to use magic outside of school. ”
"But why wasn't Albert warned after using magic?" Nya was puzzled.
"It's probably because he hasn't gone to school yet. Truman didn't really know.
"It should be some kind of vulnerability. Albert began to read what was written on parchment:
Dear Mr. Truman: We have received information that you cast a levitation charm in front of a Muggle in a Muggle settlement at 10:40 p.m.
Seeing this, Albert's emotions were a little complicated, he knew who the Muggles here were referring to, took a deep breath, sorted out the complex emotions, and continued to read.
This is a serious violation of the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act, and you have been expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The Ministry of Magic will soon send a representative to your residence to destroy your wand.
In view of the fact that you have previously received a formal warning for violating Article 13 of the International Confederation of Magicians' Secrecy Act, we regret to inform you that you must appear at the Ministry of Magic for trial at 10 a.m. on August 17.
I hope you take care.
Your faithful Mafalda Hopkirk Ministry of Magic prohibits the misuse of the Department of Magic.
"I suggest that when this matter is resolved, apply to the Ministry of Magic for moral compensation. Albert's family is a lawyer, and he still learned a little about how to exploit legal loopholes.
Truman was a little stunned, and he didn't even figure out what was going on, and the other party actually said that he should apply for spiritual compensation from the Ministry of Magic?
"I'm sure the Ministry of Magic has a way to keep an eye on this area, but they don't know who used the magic. Albert continued, "I came here with my sister for the summer just the other day, and because you happened to bump into us, the Ministry of Magic thinks you've used the levitation charm and is ready to fire you. In fact, it was a serious mistake on their part, and besides, the letter scared you out a lot, right, you almost lost control just now, and it's definitely going to pay for mental damages. ”
"Yes, yes, it makes perfect sense to ask for a sum of money for mental damages. Nia chimed in.
"My family is a lawyer, so I know these things better than you. Albert continued, "Someone will come later, at least someone will write to you, anyway, let's get your affairs straight." Then, complain about the Ministry of Magic's mistakes, and ask them to compensate you for the cost of being frightened, and ask them for 100 Galleons. ”
"It won't be too much. Truman was startled by Albert's lion's opening.
"That's how it can be explained. "At least, 50 Galleons is not too much, and if it is less than that, don't, lest they think that children are fooled, and adults are like this, and they think children are easy to pass."
"If the Ministry of Magic doesn't give you money, I can write you a letter and ask the Daily Prophet to dig out the matter anonymously, and I'm sure they'll be willing to pay you 50 Galleons. However, when the time comes, you will need to divide half of the money you get as the cost of writing letters for you. Albert's words made Truman feel that this kid was too ...... It's amazing.
......
Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore had just received a notice from the Ministry of Magic that Gabriel Truman had been expelled from the Ministry of Magic for using a levitation charm in front of Muggles.
This is not good news, Truman has a criminal record, and during the summer vacation of his first year, he was warned by the Ministry of Magic for using magic in front of his family.
Just as Dumbledore was about to go to the Ministry of Magic to confirm the situation, a letter from an owl surprised him.
The letter described Truman as having nothing to do with it, but merely meeting a new student in the park who was about to enter the school practicing the Levitation Charm, and that the Muggle was referring to the other's sister.
It doesn't look like a lie, because there is another letter in the letter, and his owner is Albert Anderson.
In the letter, Albert expressed regret that he had caused Truman unjustified disaster and said that he could testify for him if necessary.
Dumbledore found the name in his memory, and was indeed a first-year freshman, from a Muggle family.
Dumbledore couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he felt that this was probably the case. Expelling a student is never something he, the principal, wants to see.
Dumbledore immediately went to the Ministry of Magic and talked to the people of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, and the matter was not serious enough to warrant trial, and if it was just an accident, the Ministry of Magic would probably be a laughing stock for it.
After all, both Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic knew about the loopholes in the Traces.
As Albert had suspected, someone from the Ministry of Magic had arrived, and he had met Dumbledore, who had smiled at the two children in the park who were talking.
"It seems that this should be a misunderstanding. Dumbledore smiled and said to the Ministry of Magic staff beside him.
"I think you're Headmaster Dumbledore. Albert looked at Dumbledore, shook his hand, and said, "You're the same as the chocolate frog." ”
"Mr. Albert?" Dumbledore said with a smile as he looked at Albert, "We received your letter, child, can you give me the wand?"
"Oh, of course. Albert knew what Dumbledore wanted to do, so he gave him his wand anyway.
Sure enough, the headmaster used it and detected the magic that had been used in the last few days.
He looked at Albert in amazement, surprised that the kid had mastered five spells in just a few days.
"Truman just corrected my gesture with the Levitation Charm, which I just mastered. Albert explained.
"Where's your wand?" the wizard from the Ministry of Magic looked at Truman.
"I didn't bring it, I left it at home, if you need to check it, you can go back with me and get it." "Truman was very reasonable, and he wasn't afraid to check anyway.
"Looks like this was a misunderstanding, Natley. Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Yes, I think so. Natley nodded, "I think I need to write a new report." ”
