Chapter 25: Two Possibilities

After holding the vellum paper document and routinely checking its validity with his wand, Larry returned it to the blonde boy who looked calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"Durmstrang student?" He guessed in his heart.

"At this age, I should still be a first-year and second-year little wizard...... No, Professor Harlenius seems to have called him, Professor Malfoy? ”

Professor? Such a young child?

Larry couldn't believe it, he wondered if he had just been caught in the Confusion Charm in his ears that was why he heard such a ridiculous remark.

Professor Harlenius was in a trance when he heard the name that Professor Malfoy pronounceed:

"Mr. Larry, Mr. Larry Russell."

"I'm glad you remember me, Professor Harlenius."

Larry was eccentric and had a smile on his face, finally in a good mood to greet his former astronomy professor.

"How could I not remember that you were the only student who stuck with my class from beginning to end without getting sleepy."

Professor Harlenius smiled as well, but his face was still black and white, and as the muscles on his face writhed, it looked extremely funny.

It's a miracle to recognize such a professor.

Larry didn't seem to see the episode and said, "Your class was really interesting, and it has taught me a lot so far...... With this year's enrollment, does the school seem to be planning to take a new path? ”

Professor Harlenius pulled out his wand, as if he had just remembered to use it to clean the stains from his face.

"Well, that's right, Professor Danlin is going to make a little change......"

While the two were chatting, Ranko had already walked over to the magic fireplace, using his wand to stir up the flames that had weakened as they came out.

The flames that were about to disappear gradually settled down with the flick of the wand, and then slowly burned and circled in the center of the fireplace, and when the magic fireplace was completely turned on and a stable channel had been established with the flames of the Durmstrang auditorium, Professor Malfoy said slowly:

"Professor Haronnius?"

Professor Harlenius, who had a big back comb, smiled at Larry when he heard this:

"I'm sure it's going to be a fun Christmas this year, Mr. Russell."

Larry nodded, he had heard a lot of changes in the school in recent years from Professor Harlenius, and at the same time had a vague sense that the school seemed to be going to change a lot this year.

At this time, Ranko happened to take out some knives and forks from his pocket and threw them on the ground, and with the flickering of the wand in his hand, those knives and forks instantly turned into several tables and chairs with slightly gorgeous shapes, but after all, they were mainly comfortable.

"Very good Transfiguration."

Professor Harlenius ended his small talk and walked over.

"How did you know he was Mr. Larry Russell?"

"It was mentioned in the document given by Professor Dan Lin yesterday."

Professor Malfoy sat lazily in one of the chairs, and with the wave of his wand, a list was automatically drawn out of his pocket and spread out on the table.

"Okay...... All we have to do today is wait for seventeen new students to come, Professor Malfoy, and our work is not complicated. ”

Professor Haronius didn't feel embarrassed, pulled another chair and sat down.

"Would you like some coffee?"

After pulling a full set of cups out of his pocket, Professor Malfoy asked the astronomy professor next to him, holding a book on ancient herbs.

"Thank you."

The two professors next to the magic fireplace number three seemed so natural, like ordinary wizards, discussing seemingly inconsequential topics without saying a word.

"Professor Danlin has asked us to be on guard against danger within the Ministry of Magic...... Professor Malfoy, to be honest, last night's horoscope suggests that today will not be all smooth sailing. ”

After a bit of small talk, and seeing that the admissions brochure was about to be turned into an admissions minus, Professor Harlenius had to remind Professor Malfoy, who seemed to be thinking of the Ministry of Magic as a remote library, and was a little unpleasant.

The stars can sometimes be used as a tool for divination, and Professor Harlenius's skills in divination are not better than those of the master soothsayer Kassandra Trelawney, but they are quite good.

At least he was better than Professor Sybil Trelawney, who was the Divination professor at Hogwarts, even though the professor had made a prophecy about the survival of the British wizarding world.

"There are probably only two dangers we can encounter in the Norwegian Ministry of Magic."

Professor Malfoy didn't seem to be in a hurry, "First, a direct threat from the Saints, or the Death Eaters. But as long as they're not stupid, they won't do anything from within the Ministry of Magic. ”

If they were to do it in public, the wands here would have been ready to move the slayer from Norway to Iceland with a spell at a time.

"As for the second ......"

"Students and parents."

Professor Harlenius said suddenly, his expression with a slight smile instantly turned a little ugly, obviously startled by what he had just blurted out.

Professor Malfoy was interrupted, but he didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and continued:

"That's right, if they want to get through the Ministry of Magic safely, they're going to target the students and their parents."

The students who traveled to Durmstrang through Longyearbyen and the Pegasi of the Norwegian Ministry of Magic were all current students at the school, and with a roster, it was easy to determine if they were themselves.

Moreover, even if some of the students have fallen under the dark magic of the Imperius Curse, they will not be able to disclose the specific location of the school in any form due to the "Loyalty Charm" possessed by the school itself.

"So today, it's the parents who come with the students into school that are the most important thing."

That's why Professor Danlin sent Professor Harlenius, who excelled in divination, and Professor Malfoy, who excelled in spells and dealing with dark arts, to the Ministry of Magic.

Professor Harlenius, who had figured this out, frowned, and suddenly picked up the brown paper on the table with the names of the freshmen written on them:

"Name spell?"

Professor Malfoy nodded, "This can effectively prevent some wizards who are not very smart from entering the school by using the unruly means of using compound potions." ”

As for parents who may have fallen under the Imperius curse, or simply forced their way in, there is a high probability that they will be greeted by Professor Malfoy's dark magic.

"Okay." Professor Haronnius shook his head helplessly when he saw that Professor Malfoy was not worried at all.

"It looks like Professor Malfoy is very confident."

"Failure to do so is ultimately a failure, just like the Grindelwald admirers and Death Eaters, in the midst of the rising wizarding world, and soon the shadows they inhabit will disappear."

Professor Malfoy said unceremoniously.
