There are more than a thousand wizards who came to take the exam today.

That's not a small amount.

I should say that there are a lot of them.

You must know that the total number of wizards in the entire wizarding world is less than a million, and today there are more than a thousand wizards from the British Ministry of Magic who come to take the exam, which is a very high percentage.

Young people make up the majority, and there are a few middle-aged wizards.

The one who was talking to the proctor was a middle-aged wizard.

His red hair was thinning, bald, and about to turn bald. Tall and thin, wearing glasses, wearing a red robe, and a loyal and honest face.

"Arthur, why are you taking this exam?" the proctor asked in surprise.

"Minister Dumbledore said that in the next few years, the former "male wizards" of the Ministry of Magic will also be evaluated one after another, so I thought it would be better to participate in advance. ”

The invigilator said, "You can read the printed exam book, you can read it! There are more than 4,000 questions, and I have a headache after reading it for a while." ”

"Moreover, what's the hurry...... "The invigilator squeezed his eyebrows: "Now the Ministry of Magic is in the process of personnel transfer, and it is still unstable, and when everyone's department is redivided, as long as you find a guy you know in the "Public Wizard Assessment Office", if you want to pass the exam, isn't it simple?"

Arthur Weasley smiled silently.

The proctor suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Arthur, you want me to say that Minister Dumbledore has been so unfair to you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Alright, don't pretend, Arthur. Recently, the Ministry of Magic has been privately spreading that Minister Dumbledore has always had a mysterious organization called the "Order of the Phoenix" originally to fight against Voldemort, and you and some other wizards have been loyal to Minister Dumbledore for decades. But now I heard that Dumbledore deliberately downplayed the "Order of the Phoenix", but he didn't ...... you old people at all."

"If I were Minister Dumbledore, I would have arranged a good errand for you after so many years of hard work. ”

"Putte!" Arthur Weasley rightly showed a look of "shock".

A young man deliberately walked past them and let out an arrogant "snort".

Arthur Weasley's face was a little ugly, because it was Percy Weasley, who had moved out of their house.

Arthur Weasley sighed and walked into the exam room.

......

Hermione sensed that she was being watched.

She followed her gaze.

I saw a strange group of wizards standing together, as if looking at her.

It was a small group, both men and women.

Hermione's eyes lit up and she realized that Professor Lupin was inside.

She walked over to greet Professor Lupin, who was standing beside a woman with purple hair.

Hermione felt familiar, and thought for a moment before remembering that this was the witch who had come to pick up Professor Lupin when he left school.

A tall wizard with a lot of pockets, dressed thick even in the summer, stopped looking around his head and turned around.

His appearance startled Hermione, because his left eyeball was a false eye, and it looked fierce and terrifying.

He was a little crazy, his hands kept shaking, he took out a wine jug from his pocket, poured two sips, accidentally poured some on his face, and said: "Ah Bu What are you thinking, the anti-cheat detection magic here is still arranged by me, and he even wants me to take the exam." I've been an Auror for decades, and I'm qualified to be the teacher of the Aurors in the Auror office now, and I'm going to take this damn exam. ”

"Moody's, isn't this the result of what everyone discussed, so don't complain. Lupin laughed.

"By the way, Sirius Black, he's been released for so long, and I haven't seen him yet. One-Eyed Moody said loudly, lest the other wizards wouldn't hear.

"I should be back soon, he wrote to him. Lupin said.

A witch reached out to greet Hermione and smiled, "Hello Hermione, my name is Emily Vance." ”

"You know me?" asked Hermione, surprised.

"Of course, we all know you, you're Potter's little girlfriend. The purple-haired witch laughed.

"Who are you?" asked Hermione, who didn't think these were ordinary wizards.

"You're going to ask Harry, he knows that. ”

"Alright, let's go in quickly, Merlin, and hope I'll be able to get through it once. "A wizard is worried.

"Haha, Edgar, we've said that whoever passes will be invited to drink with three brooms. ”

"Why don't you go to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, where there are hundreds of different types of alcohol, I drank it once and never wanted to go to another bar again. ”

"Please, you drunkards can drink once and you will make me poor, and that's still counting the 20% off membership card Harry gave us. ”

......

After entering the exam room.

An examiner who could see Snape's shadow said with a cold face: "I repeat, there are dozens of anti-cheat detection methods in the room, don't be unhappy." Those who are found out will be banned from participating again for three years. Those who commit it for the second time will not be hired by the Ministry of Magic for the rest of their lives, and in serious cases, they will even be arrested and sent to the Wizard Prison. ”

The first moment Hermione got the paper, she started working on the questions.

After that, dozens of young people who wanted to take shortcuts were caught by the Aurors patrolling the examination room because of the use of cheating, and left the examination room in embarrassment.

Among the remaining wizards, I am afraid that there are still people who originally wanted to cheat, but these cheaters who were caught one by one sounded the alarm bell for them and made them dare not take chances anymore.

Mad-Eyed Moody looked at the large volume full of questions with a pained expression.

"Merlin, why do I have to come to the exam? ”

He opened the flask and began to drink bitterly.

The bitter wine hurts in the throat, and the goo is goo, and the goo is goo.

......

Twenty minutes before the start of the exam.

Harry and Hermione arrive at the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione wanted to visit the new Ministry of Magic.

Harry arrived at the Minister's Office, the center of the Ministry of Magic.

"What did you call me for, Dumbledore. ”

When I opened the door, I saw that the office was full of people.

Dumbledore said, "Harry, I'd like to introduce you to some of the members of the Order of the Phoenix. ”

"Professor Lupin, I don't need to tell you. ”

A gray-haired young man smiled and nodded to Harry, "Harry, meet again." ”

Then he pointed to a purple-haired witch next to him a little coldly, and said lightly: "This is Nymphadora Tonks." ”

It was a lively witch, she happily hugged Harry, and said, "Don't call me by my name, or I'll be angry, just call me Tonks, I'm a natural Animagus." ”

Her hair quickly changed several colors and turned purple again.

"This is Alastor Moody, an Auror, the oldest Auror in the Ministry of Magic. We all called him Mad-Eyed Moody. Lupin smiled, but in a respectful tone.

Alastor Moody was an old wizard, and his eyes were unique, one small, black, bead-like, normal. The other one is large, round, and has a vivid bright blue color. His True Eye moved freely, while the Demon Eye kept turning and unblinking, seeing through everything around him.

Mad Eye Moody has a broken leg and is replaced with a prosthetic leg made of wood.

Beneath his thick dark gray hair, his face looked scarred and had the feeling of old decayed wood. A large chunk of his nose was missing.

There is nothing good about him, and this is all the medal he has for the countless times he has fought against the Dark Wizard as an Auror.

Dumbledore said, "I wanted Moody to come to Hogwarts for your Defence Against the Dark Arts class, but Snape didn't want to, so I had to give up. ”

Harry raised an eyebrow, he felt like he had guessed what Snape was trying to do.

"Even though I'm retired, I don't want to go to Hogwarts to take care of those stinking bastards. With this time, I might as well kill two dark wizards. ”

Mad-Eye Moody took a big sip of wine, smashed his cane to the ground, and said, "Besides, I still don't believe that Snape is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and I fought him to the death several times during the war. Albus, you're really not confused. ”

It seemed that Mad-Eye Moody had discussed this with Dumbledore more than once, and Dumbledore smiled, "Moody, Severus can be trusted. ”

A tall, Chinese-faced wizard said, "My name is Kingsley Shackle. ”

A sorcerer who spoke in a leaky voice said, "My name is Eiffel Dogo. ”

A wizard with a shrill voice and a purple top hat said excitedly, "Potter, remember me, when you were young, I saluted you on the train. ”

A stunningly dignified witch in a pale green shawl smiled and nodded at Harry, "I'm Emmeline Vance." ”

Harry took her outstretched hand, then let go quietly.

Just now, this elegant witch like a noble lady quietly scratched his palm, which was teasing him.

Harry was wary: Merlin, someone is coveting my body again, what can I do?

A sorceress with dark hair and pink cheeks said, "My name is Hesgar Jones. I've been working on a muggle toaster lately, so I'll make it for you when I have time. ”

"Merlin, you burnt and black bread, do you want to poison Potter?" shouted a wizard.

"Shut up, Stoic!" shouted the low-pitched Hestag.

After that, the wizards in the house introduced themselves one by one.

Harry said, "So...... Dumbledore, what do you mean by introducing them to me?"

Dumbledore said directly: "Harry, these are my most loyal buddies, I am going to let them pass the public wizard exam, enter the Ministry of Magic in an official capacity, enter various important departments, and then be promoted, so as not to be truthful." ”

"I hope you can join the Ministry of Magic as well...... That way, they will support you in becoming Minister of Magic in the future. ”

Harry immediately shook his head: "So you have this idea, no way! I don't want to be the Minister of Magic, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Dumbledore didn't expect this to happen, this is the Minister of Magic.

He hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, I haven't told you how many benefits there are to being a minister." ”

Hearing this, Harry slipped faster.
