"Minister, here's a petition for you to look through."

The female secretary who had come to deliver the letter had just been transferred, and the last time she was reportedly sent to the Americas as a diplomatic attaché for causing panic.

"Put it there······ I'll be watching for a moment. ”

The minister was a little weak and pale.

The female secretary stepped back in a very colored way.

"I didn't expect the price of this magic to be so great."

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, he lay down in his chair and rested a little.

He thought that in the end it was only a part of his body that was permanently lost, but he didn't expect that it would actually take away several years of his life, which was almost a sacrifice.

He is not young anymore, and all of a sudden, he almost didn't recover, but a few subordinates gave him emergency treatment.

Fortunately, this kind of consumption is a one-time payment, and it is not really completely irreparable, at least the potions in the inventory can still have a relieving effect.

"Hmm······· Petition, unanimous opinion on the closure of Hogwarts, a joint petition from parents. ”

Minister Donald carefully rummaged through the pile of papers on his desk, pulling out the one about Hogwarts in the near future.

"The Hogwarts legendary Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and the monster that has been released has killed a Ravenclaw schoolgirl, it sounds like a legend."

This document was three days ago, and I remember that he was busy with other things, especially preparing the supplies for the winter plan, which took him quite a lot of work.

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged minister struggled to make a decision.

He picked up the so-called "petition" again and carefully read the signatures of each parent on it.

The Malfoys, Weasleys, Black, Potter, Alberts, Bulstrrod, Caro, Greengrass············

Almost all families, pure-blooded or not, unanimously agreed with the closure of Hogwarts this time.

Their children were all at Hogwarts, which was supposed to be quite safe, protected by a thousand years of defensive magic, not even Gringotts.

But now, one of the students has died.

This means that schools are no longer safe.

Naturally, these parents don't want to sit idly by and watch their children fall into a life-threatening crisis - no matter how much Hogwarts explains it, it won't work.

In addition to Hogwarts, there are two well-known schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, and it is a big deal to go through the transfer procedures.

Anyway, for wizards, the journey across borders is not too far, whether it is a portkey or a Floo network, or a broomstick, no matter how bad it is, it can still be rushed in a Muggle way.

"Well, it seems that the school has to be temporarily suspended, at least until the investigation of what is behind it, Armando. Dippert probably can't hold on, right? ”

After thinking about it, Secretary Donald drew up a notice anyway and tied it to an owl's leg by the window.

"Go and bring it to the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

Outside the window, the weather was a little wet, and the owl flapped its wings in the rain, slid past, and soon disappeared.

Sitting back in his seat, he picked up another file, and he had accumulated a lot of things in the past three days.

"Regarding the hunt of poachers in Dragon Canyon, approved."

"Smuggling the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider in Diagon Alley, sealing the storefront, and imposing a fine."

"Well, I found a Dementor who is not under the control of the Ministry of Magic, and it seems that he has wandered from France······· This dangerous creature of darkness is directly exterminated. ”

···············

He dealt with all kinds of things in an orderly manner, and many of the things reported had already been dealt with in detail, but in the end, he needed to be the minister to approve the implementation or not.

In these areas, in fact, the minister still has a lot of power.

Let's put it this way, he sits in this seat, even if it is a thousand-year-old family, he does not dare to slack off when he is idle.

If necessary, he can also clean up five or six so-called pure-blood families, and it is very easy.

But then you have to face the counterattack of the other party.

Purebloods are fighting each other, but they have accumulated considerable wealth and connections over the years, and have considerable influence in the wizarding world.

Fight the pure-blood families, divide some of them, and then win over the others, promote half-blood wizards, and protect Muggle-born wizards···········

This is the way he has always adhered to politics.

The general trend is that the status of pure-blood nobles will continue to be impacted with the growth of Muggle wizards, and the class contradictions are becoming more and more obvious.

He himself has no children, and he doesn't care about the so-called camp, he only cares about the stability of the magical world.

For this reason, even if he betrayed the interests of Hogwarts, he did not hesitate.

This is a politician with real ideals, not a politician who plays with power.

Soon, he had cleared all the important documents he had backlogged and began to read the trivial, less important reports.

"A new school of magic and magic in London?"

"The Clock Tower School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the headmaster was the honorary leader of the Chinese Wizards Alliance (recognized as the Taoist ancestor of the Asian Taoist Association), and has a magical inheritance that is different from that of Europe·········"

"Now open to global admissions, all interested parties can participate in the entrance test, and those who pass will be admitted·······"

The report from the clock tower is not very long, less than 2,000 words, but it is quite significant.

"Didn't you just fall asleep and come to the pillow? Hogwarts was closed, students were transferred, and this new school was just in time. ”

Donald was happy to see that happen.

"Hogwarts has a monopoly on education across the UK, which is really bad, and it's a good thing to have a new school of witchcraft and wizardry."

Any new school of magic, in theory, must be applied to the local Ministry of Magic.

The Clock Tower school apparently didn't go through this process – but, before that, there was no second school like it in the UK.

So, in principle, I can't find a mistake.

"Well, this is a blind spot in the regulations, and it requires people from the legal department to work overtime and introduce an education law to fill this loophole."

"In the future, it will no longer be allowed to consider magic schools illegal without the approval of the Ministry of Magic."

He wrote down his advice on a blank piece of paper, and as soon as he threw it away, the advice automatically deformed and folded in the air, becoming a paper airplane, and flew out and went straight down the stairs.

It will send itself to its corresponding department, which is a new kind of teleportation magic, which is suitable for sending messages within a relatively large department such as the Ministry of Magic.

Before that, the Ministry of Magic used owl messengers within the Ministry, and the little ones made a mess of it all over the place.

Owls flew all over the Ministry of Magic, leaving feathers all over the ground and all kinds of excrement, and almost everyone was unbearable.

At that time, the owl management department had only two newcomers, handling thousands of owls' miscellaneous items, and it once became the most unpopular department.

Eventually, when the current minister came to power, he abolished the owl transmission method within the ministry and replaced it with a new way of transmitting information.

Although paper airplanes can't fly too far, they are enough to use in the ministry, which is not much distance in the first place.

As for the outside, some owls are still kept, and these little ones are very helpful for long trips to Shanghai. [.]
