Chapter 632: Servant

After lunch, Ryan and Hermione went to Professor McGonagall's office to get this semester's schedule. As a result, they rushed to nothing, and there was no one in Professor McGonagall's office. In desperation, they decided to return to the common room to check the situation. Unexpectedly, they saw Professor McGonagall who was about to enter the common room at the door of the common room.

It's you! Last week you two really worked hard, even if there are no dementors, Azkaban is not a suitable place for human beings to live. Not to mention that you have experienced two events that you should not have participated in at your age. A real battle. As the vice-principal in charge of general affairs, Professor McGonagall naturally knew exactly what Ryan and the others did last week. By the way, hurry up and enter the common room. I have something very important to inform everyone. This matter has something to do with the two of you.

It's related to us? Ryan was a little surprised, but he didn't ask anything, but directly followed Professor McGonagall into the common room.

Now there is a large group of people in the common room, everyone is enjoying the quiet time of the afternoon, and at the same time preparing the textbooks and homework for the afternoon class. After seeing Professor McGonagall coming in, everyone stopped their hands and looked at her.

I have an announcement to tell everyone. This announcement is only for seventh graders. Professor McGonagall said holding the parchment in his hand. So now all the seventh graders come over with me.

Soon, under the curious eyes of other students, the seventh grade students gathered around. Professor McGonagall led everyone to a corner of the common room, separated the rest of them with a magic, and then unfolded the parchment and said.

Out of consideration for the current situation, the Ministry of Magic will temporarily organize a small-scale N.E.w.Ts exam. Registration for this exam is voluntary. Anyone who wants to come to my office to register before tomorrow night.

It seems that after the fall of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore's manpower was indeed seriously insufficient, so that it was necessary to temporarily select manpower from this year's seventh grade students. But Ryan thinks this is a way. During the war, many things must break the rules, not to mention that the current situation is unprecedentedly bad. At least the Ministry of Magic did not fall under Voldemort's control even in the darkest time of the last war.

Naturally, considering that you took this exam a year earlier, you may be in a hurry. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment in his hand and said, So after taking this exam, we will still take it again at the end of the semester The N.E.w.Ts exam, anyone who is not satisfied with the results of this exam can take the exam again. After this exam, those who have achieved the standard can apply for early graduation.

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Harry and Ron immediately became excited. They knew that there was a high probability that they would not be able to pass the exam and get a diploma at their current level. But since they can take the exam again at the end of the term, they are more than happy to give it a try.

Professor, wouldn't the group of people from London come to give us the exam? Ryan asked when the professor was about to walk out of the common room. If the subordinates of the mysterious man gave us the test, we would rather not take the test.

Of course not. Professor McGonagall turned around and replied, Professor Geselda Marchban, the director of the Wizarding Examinations Administration, also came to Hogsmeade with his two assistants. Ci presides over this exam for you.

Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall paused, Of course this exam may not look as formal as those formal exams in previous years, but I can assure you that all the N.E.w.Ts certificates you take are the same as the previous similar certificates. effect.

Of course, what I mean by being recognized here is being recognized by the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade now. If the war is won, these certificates will be as effective as the previous ones. If it fails— Mai Professor Greg shrugged.

I think people who take the test don't need to think about these kinds of questions.

After listening to Professor McGonagall's cold humor, the corners of Ryan's mouth raised slightly. Like she said, it's all about this war right now. Everyone has the freedom to choose a team, and also has to bear the results of their choice.

For example, this exam is actually a simple way to divide camps. At least at this time, those who are willing to take the N.E.w.Ts exam organized by the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic are anti-Voldemort and support Dumbledore.

Under the current situation, many things bring risks on the one hand and opportunities on the other. Especially after the Ministry of Magic, which was completely controlled by those pure-blood families before, completely fell to Voldemort's faction, Ms. Burns, the former director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was temporarily established in Hogsmeade. In short, even a newcomer like Percy has been given the position of team leader in charge of incident reversal.

The same is true for other positions. For example, Mr. Arthur Weasley is now the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement even needs to be part-time by the current Minister of Magic, Ms. Burns. This shortage of staff means that the future of students entering the Ministry of Magic will be much higher than those of the past.

Of course, Ryan's decision to enroll was not because he was interested in a position at the Ministry of Magic. Instead, I feel that I have a lot of things to do in this year's situation, and I shouldn't spend too much time on my student life.

After Professor McGonagall left the common room, the noise in the common room suddenly resumed, and many students in the lower grades gathered around and asked what Professor McGonagall said just now. In the midst of this noise, Hermione approached Ryan and whispered. Ryan, I think the behavior of those pure-blood families is a bit strange.

What do you think is wrong? Ryan asked?

According to my thinking, these pure-blood families are similar to the top rich and nobles in the Muggle world. Shouldn't they bet on both sides in theory? Why are so many pure-blood families completely falling for the mysterious man now? He Min voiced her doubts. It's completely different from the way I know the upper class behaves.

It's very simple, because there is magic here. Ryan explained in a low voice, Unlike the world of Muggles, in the world of wizards, power, status, relationships, and wealth are not the most important. Only the power cast by magic can It is the root of everything. You see, the reason why the pure-blood families can protect their things is not because they have wealth, status and other things. It is because they monopolize a certain kind of knowledge, a kind of knowledge that makes them more powerful than others. Powerful knowledge.

So it's easy to understand why the mysterious man was able to make those pure-blood families firmly follow him, because he is the most powerful dark wizard, and he has enough power to suppress every subordinate who is dissatisfied with him. And as a black A group of wizards, don't expect much virtue from them.

For example, we will try our best to take care of the relatives of the victims and provide them with some help. But the mysterious people will not. For example, the Crabbe and Gower families lost their patriarch and most important family in the previous battle. During this summer vacation, I heard from Malfoy that the two widows left by the two families have married two dark wizards from Northern Europe under the order of the mysterious man, and their wealth has been almost divided up before.

This is simply— Hermione was startled by the ugly side of human nature revealed in this incident, Crabbe and Goyle can be regarded as a family with a history, don't those pure-bloods object?

Each of them is unwilling, but what can they do? The mysterious man has enough power to suppress them. Ryan pointed out a fact. Not to mention that the mysterious people don't care about worldly wealth anymore. For these Death Eaters, the death of their accomplices can just divide up their property, and maybe they can accept their wives.

I always thought that the Death Eaters were a fighting group, but I didn't expect them to be like this. Hermione said.

They are indeed very effective in combat. The wizards from the pure-blood family have more knowledge and training than most wizards on our side. Ryan said. But they are not a group, they are just a group of servants gathered under the command of the mysterious man to provide the mysterious man with everything he needs.
