Chapter 486 Ollivander’s preferential treatment

"By the way, congratulations to you." A warm smile appeared on Rogge's lips, and he gently placed the letter on Hermione's lap, "Miss Hermione Granger, you are now Granger." Fendo is the prefect of fifth grade.”

"Prefect!" Hermione's voice was filled with surprise as she eagerly picked up her letter.

Looking at the contents, her bright eyes flashed with tears, and she whispered this new title softly, as if confirming a distant dream.

Since leaving the Muggle world and entering Hogwarts School, Hermione has rarely felt the warmth from the wizarding world. She once naively thought that as long as she studied hard, achieved excellent results, and won praise from professors, she would be liked by everyone.

However, the reality was cruelly contrary to what she had imagined. Hermione's outstanding performance only highlighted the stubbornness of those Gryffindor pure-blood wizards. She is like a bright mirror, reflecting those playful, lazy, and mischievous guys one by one.

Hermione naturally understood the irony behind the nickname "Miss Know-It-All," but she had nothing else to show her value except for her love of magic and books.

If it weren't for the Jackdaw Magic Society organized by Rogge, she even doubted whether she could have friends at Hogwarts.

Now, Hogwarts has awarded her the honor of prefect, giving her the power to supervise her classmates. She can assist the school and professors and maintain order. She is no longer an alien or a freak in the eyes of others, she is a prefect!

Hermione held the letter tightly, thinking about every word on it. She lay on Rogge's chest, tears falling involuntarily. They were tears of joy and tears of release.

Her emotions gradually calmed down from the surprise, then she raised her head, with curiosity and expectation in her eyes, and asked, "What about you?"

"Ah..." Rogge seemed a little embarrassed. He hurriedly hid his letter in his robe and responded vaguely: "You Gryffindors, please don't pry about Slytherin's affairs."

"Show me!" Hermione pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and tried to grab it. Rogge had no choice but to tell the truth.

"What!" Hermione screamed in disbelief. She stared at Roger with a mixture of shock and confusion. "You refused? Why on earth is this?"

"Roger, the shadow prefect is just a shadow, not a real prefect. How could you..." Hermione's tone was full of confusion.

Rogge gently stroked Hermione's hair and explained in a soft voice: "Being a prefect is not the most important thing to me. You don't have to give it up by questioning yourself because of my choice."

He pointed at the letter in Hermione's hand and warned half-jokingly: "Although my Miss Granger is already a little rich woman, I believe that after graduation you will definitely want to find a meaningful job and do something for the wizarding world. Contribute?"

Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly and she nodded slightly. Indeed, through the sales network of the Jackdaw Magic Club, she, like other club members, earned a lot of galleons through inventions and creations.

But in Hermione's heart, she has more ambitious life goals and ambitions, and she will never allow herself to waste her time after graduation.

"Prefect, student union president, these can add luster to your resume. After graduation, you won't be like ordinary wizards who can't even find a job." Rogge smiled warmly, held her in his arms, and imagined Said: "Your results are so good, you can win both OWLs and NEWT."

"When the time comes, I will definitely receive key training from the Ministry of Magic. Maybe I can even become a minister."

"Minister..." Hermione repeated the word, her eyes sparkling. Thinking of Minister Amelia's heroic appearance now, her whole body trembled with excitement, "But, but I am..."

"What is it?" Rogge interrupted her, gently tweaked her nose, and said firmly, "A Muggle-born wizard, right?"

Hermione hummed slightly and lowered her head weakly. She was familiar with the history of magic and knew that no Muggle-born wizard had ever become a minister in history. She doubted whether she could achieve this feat and was filled with a desire for a challenge.

But Rogge knew that in the original timeline, Hermione Granger eventually became the Minister of Magic. As a wizard from a Muggle family, Hermione's future depends not only on her own efforts, but also on the support she receives.

For example, the wizards who opposed pure-blood supremacy and helped Harry Potter eliminate Voldemort all paved the way for Hermione.

But now, with Rogge's unremitting efforts, the Gryffindor trio has been dismantled by himself. Although Hermione was in Gryffindor, her heart and soul were with him.

With the help of the Travis family, Hermione's path to becoming a minister will be smoother. She can serve as a bridge between pure-blood, half-blood and Muggle-born wizards, achieving an unprecedented balance.

"Are you scared?" Rogge buried his head in Hermione's hair and teased her with provocation, "I didn't expect Miss Granger to be scared sometimes. This is not in line with the courage of Gryffindor wizards."

"I..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, but soon, her eyes became firm. She straightened her back and answered decisively: "I'm not afraid at all! I'm just a minister, right? I can definitely do it!"

"Then, I would like to congratulate you in advance, Madam Minister!" Rogge smiled and started to play a role-playing game with Hermione.

She still had doubts about Rogge's rejection of the prefect, but with Rogge's comfort and company, she finally reluctantly accepted this fact.

Hermione held the letter tightly and began to plan her responsibilities as a prefect. As soon as school started... no, as soon as she boarded the Hogwarts train, she could begin to fulfill her prefect powers.

Hermione put the Hogwarts letters away carefully and couldn't help but turn up the corners of her mouth. Obviously, she has figured out how to use the power of the prefects to control the naughty people in Gryffindor.

"First we have to deal with George and Fred," she thought silently in her mind, clenching her fists unconsciously. "They always arrange prank props in the corridors and common rooms..."

She is determined to lead Gryffindor to defeat Slytherin in the new school year! What you lose in bed, you earn back in school!

The storm caused by Voldemort in the outside world did not affect the tranquility of Travis Manor at all. Rogge even had time to go to Daphne to discuss the automated production of light and shadow powder.

At the same time, Ariana is also preparing to walk through the backyard of Old Tom's Tavern and go to Diagon Alley like other first-year students to buy new clothes, books, and the most important wand needed for the start of school.

"Grapevine wood, dragon heartstring, 14 inches." Ollivander said enthusiastically about Hermione's wand. He can clearly recall the details of each wand, and can even gain insight into the character and potential of each wizard through the material and size of the wand.

"Oh, Rogge, long time no see." With a smile in his eyes, he rarely called out Rogge's name first, "If I remember correctly, you are already in fifth grade now. Could it be that your wand... …”

Ollivander thought their wands might be damaged, so he turned around to find a new wand box.

"Mr. Ollivander, it's not us." Rogge stepped aside to let Ariana behind him. From any angle, she didn't look like a new student.

"So, you are fifteen years old." Ollivander took off his glasses and scratched his hair in confusion, "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Nowadays, very few wizards complete their magic education at home. However, the notice..."

"Okay, let's give it a try." He simply took out the measuring tape and carefully recorded Ariana's body data like a tailor.

Ariana's eyes sparkled with excitement, she couldn't wait to get her own wand.

As the tape measure returned to Ollivander's hand, his face became serious and he muttered, "What a picky little guy." Then he smiled and took out a gray-white tape measure from the dusty bottom shelf. Box.

"White birch, phoenix tail feathers, fourteen inches."

Ariana gently picked up the wand, and almost as soon as it touched her fingertips, a stream of dazzling sparks erupted from the wand. Even Roger and Hermione who were watching could feel the tacit understanding between the wand and Ariana.

Ollivander was noncommittal and took out a second wand: "Apple wood, phoenix tail feathers, twelve inches."

Likewise, this wand is a perfect fit for Ariana.

"Sure enough." Ollivander nodded slightly, his tone becoming solemn, "If I guess correctly, any wand with a phoenix tail feather as its core will be a perfect match for you."

"I have run this wand shop for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen this happen." He paused, seeming to think deeply about the reasons behind this.

Rogge added softly: "Ariana's last name is Dumbledore."

"What?" Ollivander exclaimed. He ran to Ariana again and looked at her carefully, "Dumbledore...that makes sense. That's right, right!"

Ariana asked, confused, "Mr. Ollivander, does this have anything to do with my last name?" She was curious about the connection between her last name and her choice of wand.

"Of course." Ollivander lowered his voice and explained mysteriously: "The tail feathers of the phoenix come from Fox, which is the phoenix of your principal."

"It has a special relationship with the Dumbledore family. Although Albus has always been opposed to the pure-blood concept, what can I say..." At this point, Ollivander had to stop talking, "Well, anyway. Such a situation. However, in all these years, I have never heard of the Dumbledore family..."

He paused, seemingly thinking of Aberforth Dumbledore, but ultimately did not continue. He looked at Ariana carefully, as if he wanted to carve her image into his mind.

Ollivander was so kind to the little girl that he even took the trouble to find all the wands with phoenix tail feather cores. He also promised that Ariana could choose the material and length of the wand and customize one just for her.

"Sir, why don't we get this treatment?" Rogge asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the wand chooses the wizard?"

"How...how can this be the same?" Ollivander argued awkwardly, using excuses such as why the phoenix was different and the previous wand might not have been perfect.

Rogge smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that the name Dumbledore could indeed bring benefits that others could not enjoy.

Ariana ultimately chose hornbeam, phoenix tail feathers, and twelve inches. This combination represents uniqueness, purity and enthusiasm, and a wizard with such a wand is destined to have extraordinary talents.

She caressed it lovingly and communicated with it softly, as if it could understand her every word. As soon as she returned to Travis Manor, Ariana couldn't wait to try to cast the spell in the textbook.

"So fast...so fast." Hermione looked at Ariana in surprise. Her eyes were wide open and her tone was full of shock. "Ariana has mastered the transformation spell, Rogge. She is completely self-taught. ”

"Except for potions and herbal medicine, she may be able to master the first-year learning content before school starts. Is this a talent?" Hermione felt a little frustrated.

She seemed to see the shadow of Rogge in Ariana - he also had extraordinary learning ability, and could master most subjects with textbooks alone even without the guidance of a professor.

Hermione had suspected more than once that Ariana had learned magic before. Otherwise, it can only be explained by talent.

"There is Obscurus in her body." Rogge said softly, and his tone couldn't help but become heavy: "It is a kind of magic full of hatred. Once released, it can destroy the entire city. Perhaps it is because of it that Ariana can quickly Master the magic."

Hermione sighed, her eyes filled with sympathy and concern for Ariana. Although he can comfort Mo Ran by staying with her. But, the monster inside her gets up to no good a few times a month.

After school starts, Ariana will face huge academic pressure. She needs to complete five academic years in one year and be ready to take the OWLs next year. This task is daunting for any student, let alone Ariana, who has no foundation.

Thinking of this, Hermione's frustration quickly disappeared. She immediately walked over and began instructing Ariana on the details of the spell, hoping to help her better master magic and prepare for the upcoming academic challenges.

Even before school started, Hermione helped her complete the boil cure potion. This way, Ariana would not be targeted by Snape in Potions class.

If she was in class with first-year students and had to accept Snape's ridicule and sarcasm, Hermione would have thought about quitting school.

For most students at Hogwarts, fifth year is a hurdle that must be overcome. They must obtain OWLs certificates in order to make a living after graduation.

However, many people in Slytherin have no such concerns. Rather than looking for jobs, they provide jobs. As the heirs of the family, all they need to do is successfully complete their studies.

"What, you want to leave the Jackdaw Magic Society?!"

In the train compartment, Draco glared at Neville. He put his badge on the table, not daring to look into Rogge's eyes.
