Chapter 225 The Easter Holiday
A few days later, the time came to April 4, and the Easter holidays began.
On the first day of the holiday, Sherin and Dumbledore walked into the fireplace in the headmaster's office and traveled to the Ministry of Magic via the Floo network.
Today is the day Schelling was awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class.
The award ceremony was no different from last time. There was a large round of social time for the group of celebrities who made up the Wizengamot to chat and build relationships. The only difference was that more people approached Xie Linpan for friendship than last time, and their attitudes were more enthusiastic.
Then there is a speech with little content by Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and finally Dumbledore, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, takes the stage to present the award.
Under the flashing lights of many reporters, Schelling walked to the high platform, took the Medal of the Order of Merlin from Dumbledore, and pinned it on his chest.It was a gold medal with a purple ribbon, a step above Schelling's previous medal with a white ribbon.
After the award ceremony, everyone did not leave immediately. Instead, they were transferred to the Wizengamot management agency of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. Several veterans of the Wizengamot, such as Guselda Marchban and Tiberus Ogden, could assist Schelling to familiarize himself with the Wizengamot's administrative procedures, document records and storage, etc.
The reason is that at the same time that Schelling was awarded the Knight Medal, Fudge also took advantage of the situation to announce to the guests and the media that Schelling would join the Wizengamot's bench as a "Wyzengamot Youth Representative".
With this status, Schelling is already half a public servant in a sense, and he already has the qualifications to freely enter and leave the Ministry of Magic (in the original book, Harry went to the trial as a "guest").Therefore, it is also necessary to take him to familiarize himself with several key places related to the scope of his official duties.
In fact, the Wizengamot does not only refer to a court, but a general term.
What it really represents is that the judiciary of the British wizarding community checks and balances with the legislative and administrative institutions represented by the Ministry of Magic.
In the "collective term" of the Wizengamot, there is the "Wisengamwa Management Agency" responsible for recording and storing the files of various cases that have been tried, and the "Wizard Law Council" is responsible for hearing individual cases, and finally it is the turn of the "Wisengamwa" as the Supreme Court to judge cases that are hugely controversial and have a huge and far-reaching impact on wizarding society.
(The Wizengamot is Wizengamot; the governing body of the Wizengamot is Wizengamot Administration Services; the Council of Magical Law is the Council of Magical Law)
In the original book, whether it was Sirius who was framed and imprisoned, or the Lestrange couple who deserved what they deserved, they were actually sentenced to prison by the Wizarding Law Council. It can be seen that even the extremely horrific murder cases involved did not alarm the "Wisengamard".
The only time in the original book that the Wizengamot Supreme Court was dispatched was when Harry was forced to cast the Patronus Charm in front of his cousin because he was threatened by a dementor, which violated the "underage wizard's violation of the International Statute of Secrecy" regulations.A crime of this magnitude clearly does not qualify for a summons to the Wizengamot, which is clearly a way for Fudge and Umbridge to try to undermine Dumbledore's prestige.
The next few people also went to the courtroom.The courtroom is not all as eerie as the tenth courtroom in the original book, because it is used to adjudicate the most vicious criminals, probably Grindelwald, Voldemort and others are qualified, and Harry just hit the muzzle of the gun by pure luck.
Other courtrooms, such as the third courtroom and the seventh courtroom, are very interesting. There are many strange magical equipments in them, such as the lie detector in the wizarding world, which is a mirror that can reflect whether people can’t help themselves from the outside and the heart; for example, the confession instrument, which is a bit like a sorting hat, can rewrite a small part of a person’s memory and personality;
In short, Schelling has obtained the qualifications to enter and exit freely in these places.
[Awarded the Second Class Medal of the Order of Merlin! 】
["Title" Wizengamot Youth Representative has been awarded! 】
[Ministry of Magic access authority obtained! 】
Compared with previous Easters, this year's Easter has more homework.
Harry and Ron had a daily love-hate relationship with the unfinished homework, and he had to admit that Hermione had to do the same as they did, and at the same time research how Rita Skeeter had eavesdropped on Harry and Hagrid's conversation.
Harry was overwhelmed with all the homework, but he insisted on sending regular packets of food to Sirius in the cave.He also wrote to Sirius in passing, telling him that there was nothing out of the ordinary and that they were still waiting for Percy's reply.
Hedwig didn't come back until near the end of Easter.Percy's reply was enclosed in a packet of Easter eggs, from Mrs. Weasley.
The eggs Harry and Ron got were the size of dragon eggs and filled with homemade toffee.Hermione's eggs are smaller than eggs.She straightened her face when she saw it.
"Your mother doesn't happen to read Witch Weekly, does she, Ron?" she asked softly.
"Yeah," said Ron, his mouth full of toffee, "she wants the recipe in the paper."
Hermione didn't say anything, but her heart was bitter.In the past three years, under the influence of Schelling, she was no longer the naive student in the original book who buried her head in her studies and ignored things outside the window. She deeply understood how unwelcome it was for a wizard like her who came from a Muggle family to crush her peers in studies.
Although the Weasley family is well-known for being kind to Muggles and loving Muggle things, and they even bear the name of "pure-blood traitors" because of this, but if you look carefully, you can know that the Weasley family's inheritance is very old, probably similar to the Gaunt family.
There have always been rumors in the pure-blood family, just like the Gaunt family is the descendant of Slytherin, the Weasley family is actually the descendant of Gryffindor. The biggest evidence is that in history, every member of the Weasley family has inherited fiery red hair, which is the same hair color as Gryffindor himself. Moreover, every member of the Weasley family is uniquely sorted into Gryffindor College by the Sorting Hat. There has been no exception for more than 1000 years.
Moreover, being able to be listed in the "Holy 28 Pure-Blood Family" shows that this family is not simple. There are only two conditions for the arrangement of the "Holy 28 Pure-Blood Families". One is that the family history must be long enough and ancient, and the other is that the family must strictly abide by the tradition of pure-blood intermarriage and refuse to intermarry with Muggles.
Regardless of the Weasley family's attitude towards being included in the list of pure-blooded families, the fact that the Weasley family is on the list is an unshakable fact, which shows that they undoubtedly meet the two conditions perfectly.This also proves that the family is still xenophobic in its bones.
The Weasley family said they were kind to Muggles, but it was absolutely impossible for their blood to be polluted by Muggle wizards.Looking at the genealogy of the Weasley family, from nearly 1000 years ago to the present, there is no example of intermarriage with Muggle wizards at all!
Even Arthur himself, who likes Muggles the most, his wife Molly came from another ancient and sacred pure-blood family, the Prewett family.
In the original book, when Bill Weasley wanted to marry Fleur, he was clearly strongly opposed by Molly.
Hermione forcibly held back the unhappiness in her heart, and pressed her lips together tightly.Take the "Witches Weekly" incident as an example. The whole incident was clearly caused by the female reporter telling lies. Even if she really believed the content above, Hermione was also a victim in the article. She and Parvati were obviously the ones who were teased and abandoned by the "scumbags", but Molly's behavior undoubtedly showed that she was firmly on the side of Harry and Ron.
At this moment, she really wants, really wants to find someone to talk to.
But the two woods, Harry and Ron, were obviously not good candidates.
She turned her head slightly, and pretended to look at the professor's seat, but actually cast her eyes sideways to the Slytherin table.
With Xie Lin's current level of mental strength, God's Peeping into the Sky has become a passive skill that has almost no consumption, and he has already sensed it the moment someone peeps.
His sharp eyes looked at the source of the line of sight, ah, it was Hermione, but why were her eyes so sad?
Without even thinking about it, Xie Lin gave Hermione an encouraging look, and silently made a mouth shape.
The clever Hermione quickly deciphered the meaning of the mouth shape, which was "come on".It's as simple as that, nothing else.But with such a simple word, Hermione suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart, and all the grievances and unhappiness were miraculously melted away in an instant.
She was suddenly relieved.
She gave a bright smile, as if those bright eyes were smiling too.She nodded at Schelling, and then went back to discussing Percy's letter with Harry and Ron, all smiles on her face.
Percy's letter was short and impatient.
"As I keep telling the Daily Prophet, Mr. Crouch has been working too hard and is currently resting. He regularly owls in instructions. No, I haven't seen him in person, but I think you should trust that I will never mistake my boss's handwriting. I've got my hands full at the moment trying to put down these silly rumors. Please don't bother me, unless it's something urgent. Happy Easter."
"Aha," said Hermione, "Percy didn't see Crouch himself."
"Well," said Harry in a low voice, "so the person on the Marauder's Map who sneaked into Snape's office that day was really Crouch... We must notify 'Cold' as soon as possible." ('Cold' is the code word Harry and the others gave to Sirius)
"Come on, let's go to the owl shack after we eat."
The author himself really believes that the Weasleys are descendants of Gryffindor.Everyone knows that the character prototype of Gryffindor is King Arthur, so there will be a "sword in the hat" (corresponding to the sword in the stone) that only qualified people can pull out.The names of the Weasley family are very interesting. The father's name is Arthur, and the youngest daughter's name is Ginevra, as if to imply something.
