Chapter 105: Ministry of Magic intervenes

Mike slept soundly this night, and it was noon the next day when he woke up.

As soon as he was together, he realized that some of the leftovers left over from his pillow had been replaced with brand new fish and chips. I grabbed a fries and put it in my mouth, it was still hot.

This made Mike a little surprised. You must know that because the kitchen was closed these days, they were eating dry food such as bread. Although fish and chips were not considered gourmet food, they were considered a food upgrade.

How is this going? Is the kitchen reopened again?

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that all members of the management team in the auditorium who were responsible for protecting the safety of the students have been replaced by uniformed Aurors.

"Does it move so fast?" Mike thought to himself.

Looking at this situation, it is clear that the security work at Hogwarts has been taken over by the Auror. Although Mike had known that the Ministry of Magic would soon take coercive measures against Hogwarts after a fatal accident, he did not expect the United Kingdom The response speed of the Ministry of Magic will be so fast, it seems that the Ministry of Magic is not as rotten as the outside world has said.

After finishing his late breakfast, Mike got up and went to Flivy's temporary office. He needed more information.

Due to the basilisk, the professors' offices have also moved to the next door to the auditorium. When Mike knocked on the door and entered, he found Flivy had other guests.

"Mike! We're talking about you, come sit down." Flivy greeted Mike with an open eyebrow, "I shouldn't need to introduce this, right? Abbot Foley, the outstanding student of Ravenclaw who graduated last year, former The chairman of the Boys’ Student Union. And you’ve seen his father, Mario Foley, the deputy director of the Auror Office, whom I took you to meet last summer."

The Abbott senior Mike still knew him. Although he didn't deal with him too much last year, his father, the enthusiastic uncle, made a deep impression on Mike. Because his name Mario is exactly the same as the famous plumber Mario.

A ceremonial smile appeared on Mike’s face. He stretched out his hand and shook Abbott with the unique handshake ceremony of the Raven’s Nest. The smiles on both sides suddenly became brighter, and the other party used the Raven’s Nest. Handshake.

After a period of greetings, Professor Flitwick left the office on the ground that he had other things to deal with. There were only two people in the office, Mike and Abbott, and the conversation between them also entered the topic.

"Mike, I just finished Auror training and became an Auror. This time I received the order from the Ministry of Magic and followed our captain to Hogwarts to solve the basilisk." Abbott smiled.

What Abbott said was not much different from Mike's own guess, but Mike still had something to understand, so he asked: "Why did the Ministry of Magic react so quickly this time? Also, it stands to reason that this happened. Shouldn't the school be closed? How did I see the students still in the auditorium?"

"Let me answer your first question first. This time the death of the three students has caused a lot of trouble outside. Many parents of the students are accusing the Ministry of inaction, and there are some big figures among them, so the Ministry is under pressure. I can only send us over." Abbott said with a smile, "Then there is the issue of closing the school.

Among the Aurors we sent this time, there are many experienced and amazing senior Aurors. It can be said that what you see in Hogwarts now is the top power among Aurors, even if it is a snake in front of them. The blame is too weak.

Coupled with the clues provided by the two little wizards who died with Harry Potter, we can already confirm that the basilisk moved through the sewer pipe in Hogwarts.

So our captain felt that there was no need to close the school. We were able to catch the basilisk soon. It would be bad if the basilisk suddenly attacked the students during the evacuation process. We could not protect all the students. If there is another death at that time, the Ministry of Magic's reputation will be discredited. "

Mike then realized it and thanked Abbott.

"Mike, I suggest that you also participate in this action. As long as you have this meritorious foundation, whether you want to become an Auror or enter other departments of the Ministry of Magic will be much easier in the future, and even May get the Merlin Medal." Abbott continued sincerely, "You and I belong to the Raven's Nest, and I will not harm you.

Don’t worry about safety. You know who I am. As long as you stay with me, you are absolutely safe. "

When Abbott said so, Mike suddenly understood.

At first, he was still wondering why his second generation of officials would be sent to perform such a dangerous task. The sentiment guy was here to take credit for gilding. Uncle Mario sent so many senior Aurors this time not only because he wanted to get rid of the basilisk as soon as possible, but also because he wanted to protect his son Abbott.

And Mike was also a little moved about Abbot’s proposal. He himself had hatred for the basilisk that attacked himself and Penello. This time he can give credit to him in absolute safety. He Le Not for it?

After thinking about it, Mike said sincerely: "Thank you Abbott, I owe you a favor."

"Look at what you said, you are my junior, I won't help you." Abbott stood up and said, "Let's talk to our captain and Dean Flivy about this matter, presumably they Would also agree.

The two walked out of the office together, and on the way Mike learned that the temporary management team had been cancelled. All members of the original management team returned to the auditorium to receive the same protection as those in the lower grades.

Not long after he left, Mike saw an office that was used as a temporary command room, and it was already overcrowded. Numerous uniformed Aurors and professors in Hogwarts were discussing how to deal with the Basilisk. Method, and strangely enough, Dumbledore is not in it.

"...Since it has been determined that the basilisk is in the sewer pipe, then I suggest that we directly seal all the outlets and pour poison gas into the pipe to poison the basilisk to death." said a younger-looking teenager.

Hearing what he said, Professor Flitwick retorted: "I'm afraid it won't work, my child. The piping system in Hogwarts is very complicated and huge, and the poisonous gas can't spread at all. And the basilisk is immune to most toxins, you are sure Can it be poisoned?"

Seeing that his proposal was rejected, the young man showed an awkward look on his face and stepped aside and stopped speaking.

"Then just follow what we discussed before, and send people in according to the area to investigate. For safety's sake, pierce pipes and walls at intervals to leave escape routes, and don't worry about the damage to Hogwarts Castle. Now." A middle-aged man with a majestic temperament and a scar on his face said solemnly.

After hearing that some Aurors rioted at the scene, one of them suggested to the middle-aged man: "But captain, our people would be very dangerous. Or we should go to Dumbledore for help, if he takes action, it will be a mere snake. Blame, it's definitely not a problem."

His words were immediately approved by everyone, but the middle-aged man was furious and roared: "I ask Dumbledore for everything, so what do I need you to do! Remember your identity, you are a Auror! Understand? That's how the plan is decided. Go ahead and implement it!"
