Chapter 402: “Competing With Other Schools”

Sean knew that Django was sent out by Lupin. He was considered a powerful and reliable wizard in the organization he founded, and he sent him a message.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Sean unfolded the note, and there was a sentence written at the beginning, We were robbed.

He continued reading, Starting early in the morning, I have visited twelve houses. All of them are young wizards born in Muggle families. Only now have I gotten the first one to enter Hogwarts. I didnt get the opportunity to talk with the others because the admissions officers from other schools had already gone there yesterday.

Among the eleven others, six young wizards chose Nurmengard, three chose Beauxbatons, and three chose Dumstrang. This is what Ive seen today. After contacting several colleagues, I found that they were experiencing the same thing, but not as many as I encountered. I will continue to the next one, and I will let you know the news.

Sean was shocked. Grindelwald was trapped under the invisibility cloak and was one step ahead of Hogwarts.

The current admission situation is completely different from when Sean received two admission notices simultaneously. Because of the changes in the situation, there is no such thing as door-to-door competition for students.

When a wizard comes to show his magic, as long as he can gain the trust of the family, the student is considered recruited. Sean always felt that Hogwarts actions were fast. Unexpectedly, Grindelwald had already made a move before him.

But why did Beauxbaton and Durmstrang also get involved?

There are four magic schools in Europe. In recent years, Nurmengard has been the one with the most abundant students, followed by Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. Even if Nurmengard robbed students, the other two schools getting students from the UK is a bit unreasonable.

Although the scope of enrollment in schools is mostly for the whole of Europe, this situation has been rare in previous years.

In addition, Durmstrang has gradually declined due to the rise of Nurmengard in recent years. Even so, this school, which is famous for dark magic, has given up its tradition of only recruiting pure-blood wizards. Djangos news clearly stated that the first recruits he recruited were Muggle families.

Professor McGonagall saw Sean, stepped forward, and asked, Whats wrong?

Professor, look at this. Sean handed over the note.

Professor McGonagall frowned after reading it, No wonder we waited so long for the new students to be sent over by the Portkey.

Professor, its still within my understanding that Nurmengard is robbing students. But Beauxbatons and Durmstrang? Will their enrollment range include the UK? Sean asked suspiciously.

Professor McGonagall nodded, Of the four magic schools in Europe, Durmstrang has the smallest enrollment range, but it basically covers most of Europe. Other schools, including our Hogwarts, are all open to the whole world. But because of the schools geographical location, the enrollment scope of each school is basically fixed on the European continent.

Take Hogwarts as an example. The students are basically from the UK. Some young wizards from other countries close to the UK will be recruited, and most of them are from Muggle families. The same is true for other schools. Beauxbatons is located in the Pyrenees, so its somewhere in France and Spain. Durmstrang is located in Scandinavia, and the area of

enrollment is the northern part of Europe and near Germany.

Sean laughed a few times. He had always thought that Durmstrang was located in Germany.

Professor McGonagall saw how curious he was and continued to explain, The rise of Nurmengard has seized most of Durmstrangs students, and Nurmengard is actively recruiting students from all over Europe. Given there are also kids that didnt enroll.

Kids that didnt enroll? Sean asked suspiciously.

Yes, Professor McGonagall nodded, There are a lot of wizards in Europe; even the original three schools do not encapsulate all of the children. Because many young wizards do not enroll, and they learn magic individually.

Such as Greece. There are actually a lot of wizards in Greece, but whether it is Hogwarts or other schools, Greek students are rare. Because they basically do not enroll in schools and their parents and family members teach their own magic, or it may be taught by the more respected elderly in the local community.

In some countries on the border of Europe, young wizards may choose magic schools in other regions, such as the worlds largest school, the Uagadou School in Africa, and Koldovstoretz in Russia.

I see After listening to Professor McGonagalls teaching, Sean suddenly realized something and nodded.

Professor McGonagall looked at the note again, with some worry between her brows, It may be the reason for the frequent accidents recently. All schools have stepped up their recruitment efforts, and even Durmstrang has gone to recruit Muggle-borns. It seems that we are a step behind.

Sean looked up at the students who had just put on their robes and were looking at them curiously, counted the number silently, and said, According to the current situation, it is still acceptable, and the order I gave them is to recruit children from Muggle families first. After all, wizard families in the UK should still choose Hogwarts.

But Sean muttered.

These two magical items that have existed since the founding of Hogwarts are the key to recruiting students. The Quill of Acceptance finds newborns with magical powers, while the Book of Access is to write it down. It will use strict standards to screen out the newborns found by the Quill, and only after confirming that they can become a wizard will their name be written on the Book.

Only the principal and vice-principal can use these two magic items, and if Sean guessed correctly, the range of the Quill and the Book was only around England. Professor McGonagall is likely to use some method to expand its range.

Sean grinned. Now, the whole of Europe is battling for new students.

-

The organization hidden in the Muggle building was busy, and Lupin kept instructing his subordinates to classify the incoming information.

These twenty children are relatively close. Henry, go there now. Lupin ordered.

Okay.

The persuasion needs to be fast, and you dont have to worry about your magic being discovered by the Ministry of Magic. In addition, the boss also sent a new list. Remember to use it. If the other party shows an obvious resistance, give up directly and go to the next one.

Dont worry, boss. Henry smiled, took the list and the form, and shook the Portkey in his hand, This is illegal smuggling here. I dont plan to stay there for too long and be captured by the local Ministry of Magic.

Lupin smiled, Dont worry about your thing, just go.

Okay. After speaking, Henry activated the Portkey and disappeared into place.

If Sean could see this scene, he would definitely nod in satisfaction. Money is power.

Regardless of whether they are good people or not, as long as they can be moved by something, they can be hired. With many Galleons provided by Mr. Wallup, Lupin easily reached an agreement with many wizards experienced in smuggling.

As long as he spends money for them, Sean can bypass the Ministry of Magics border surveillance and directly smuggle a bunch of students across the country.

Inside Hogwarts, Sean was still greeting the new students. At Seans request, the prefects also came to help. At this time, most of the Muggle family wizards in the UK were almost convinced, and children from wizard families began to be teleported by the Portkey.

Thank you, Mr. Wallup.

Youre welcome, Kay. Sean smiled and waved to the little boy in front of him, who was the younger brother of Seans roommate, Cormac McLaggen.

Sean looked up at the number of students in the hall. It was not too small, but it was not enough compared to previous years. As he was thinking about it, another one was teleported by the Portkey.

Hello there, may I ask your name?

Calvin Andres, sir. The pale-skinned boy spoke with a thick German accent.

Seans eyes lit up, Where are you from?

Germany, Bremen of Germany.

Sean secretly rejoiced.

After some introductions, Calvin handed over a note, Sir, the recruiter asked me to send me

this message. Im sorry, I was so nervous and almost forgot about it.

Its okay, thank you for this. After the boy left, Sean unfolded the note.

Everything is going well. Other schools have not recruited the Muggle families. I will go to the next family immediately.

Sure enough, neither Beauxbatons nor Durmstrang had taken care of the local students. Seeing this result, he grinned.
