On the second floor of Hogwarts, the door of the temporary conference room was suddenly pushed open, and the four deans met at the school more than a month before the start of school.
Professor McGonagall, who is the leader, has a particularly serious expression. Anyone who knows Professor McGonagall knows that she is in a very bad mood now.
“I just got a letter from the board of trustees.”
A letter was casually thrown on the conference table by Professor McGonagall, like it was just a piece of useless waste paper.
“About the new principal?”
The room suddenly fell into an eerie dead silence. Ever since Voldemort completely controlled the Ministry of Magic, they expected this day to come.
“Who did they find?”
Professor Sprout was the first to break the silence, and looked at the letter uneasily, but finally didn’t reach out to read it.
“Severus Snape?” Flitwick looked at the letter and asked tentatively. He had heard from Albert that Snape would be the new Headmaster.
“Severus, we should have thought of this earlier.”
Professor Slughorn picked up the letter, opened it, read the contents quickly, and sighed softly.
If one of the Death Eaters is the most suitable for this role, Snape is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He has worked in Hogwarts for many years and knows everything here, so he can ensure Voldemort’s control over this ancient school right.
“Those cowards have compromised!” Professor McGonagall said in disgust.
“There’s nothing you can do about it, Minerva.” Professor Slughorn comforted him softly, “No one dares to defy the mysterious man now, I think…”
“If it wasn’t for those children, I would have resigned and left Hogwarts long ago.”
Professor Sprout is very pessimistic. She really can’t imagine what a terrible scene Hogwarts will be under the control of mysterious people.
“So are we, Pomona.”
Professor McGonagall raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet first, and then directly talked about the main reason for calling everyone here today: “You should have noticed that the Muggle Birth Class Committee established by the Ministry of Magic a while ago.”
“That’s the ugliest face I’ve ever seen.”
“Are you worried about…”
“If the mysterious man controls Hogwarts, what will happen to the children born in Muggle families? Will Snape agree to allow them to continue to return to Hogwarts to study, or will they be expelled directly?” McGonagall The professor took out a newspaper from a few days ago and put it on the table, “Even if those children are allowed to return to Hogwarts to study, I still worry about their safety.”
“Honestly, I never thought the Death Eaters would show mercy to them just because they were kids.”
The conference room fell into dead silence again, and Professor McGonagall spoke out what worried all the professors.
What should we do with the students born in Muggle families? Once they return to Hogwarts, will they be sent directly to Azkaban by the Death Eaters.
Nowadays, many Muggle-born wizards have been tried by the Muggle Birth Class Committee. Azkaban, God knows how many will survive.
“But what can we do, should we tell them to hide?” It’s not that Professor Slughorn is unwilling to help those poor children, but he has nothing to do.
Although the Muggle wizards who study at Hogwarts do not account for the majority, there are also quite a few (about a quarter). Even if you send them letters to remind them to pay attention to safety, it is useless. When adult wizards carry healds, once they use magic outside the school, they will be immediately tracked, and the fate can be imagined.
“I don’t recommend gambling on low-probability events. It’s best not to pin your hopes on the kindness of the Death Eaters. They don’t have that kind of thing.” Professor Flitwick said suddenly, “Otherwise, the scene at the British Ministry of Magic I’m afraid it will happen again. If the Ministry of Magic sends someone to invite them to interview with the Muggle-Born Registration Committee, what do you think will happen?”
A longer silence.
This kind of thing is really possible, especially when the person in charge of the Muggle-born registration committee is Umbridge, who they hate the most. After working with Umbridge for a year, everyone knows who she is.
They shouldn’t take any chances.
“Maybe, we should let them stay at home.” Professor Slughorn tentatively suggested: “Instead of coming to Hogwarts to study, as long as they stay away from the wizarding world…”
“That’s not safe either. More and more Muggle-born wizards have been imprisoned in Azkaban.” Professor McGonagall interrupted, “And, do you think they will arrest them based on the list? Muggle-born students studying at Hogwarts? Although I have planned to burn that thing, I don’t think they will give up easily.”
“In fact, it is not difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find out where those children live, and their families will all face disaster.”
“Maybe, we can hide those children, I mean centralized protection, and use that…I remember the one that the Potters used…the Charm of Loyalty?” Professor Sprout thinks this may be The best way so far.
“As for the food problem, we can send some house elves to help.”
“We don’t have a suitable place to accommodate those children, and it is not easy to manage those children. More importantly, are they willing to accept protection?” Slughorn felt that his colleagues must be crazy up.
No way, this plan is really too absurd.
Leaving the comfortable environment of Hogwarts, what should they do to take care of those children?
“Why don’t we ask for the opinions of professionals?” Professor Flitwick said suddenly.
“Professional?”
Everyone cast puzzled eyes.
“I’m talking about Albert.” Professor Flitwick reminded, “He expected all this a long time ago, and published a “Self-Defense Guide” to help Muggle-born wizards, I think He may have other ideas about this matter.”
Instead of the four of them racking their brains to find a temporary solution, they might as well go to Albert directly. With the smart brain of the other party, they might have already thought of a solution to the problem.
“Anderson seems to be hiding.” Slughorn muttered, “Do you know how to contact him?”
“Who has a double-sided mirror that can contact Albert?” Professor McGonagall asked suddenly.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Albert’s friend should have an emergency contact method.” Professor Flitwick reminded, “Brother Weasley, or someone else?”
“You’re right ~Soverse.com~Maybe Hagrid has them too.”
Professor McGonagall waved his wand and asked his Patronus to deliver a message to Hagrid.
After a while, Hagrid hurried over.
His huge body squeezed into the room, he scratched his head in doubt and asked, “What double-sided mirror.”
“Did Albert not leave you a way to contact him?” Professor McGonagall asked directly.
Hagrid clearly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and asked suspiciously, “No… that, what’s wrong?”
“We have just received news from the school council that Severus Snape has been appointed as the new headmaster of Hogwarts. Hagrid, maybe you should leave the school for a while.” Professor McGonagall Summoning the patron saint again to send news to Sirius, she knew that the Weasley brothers must have a double-sided mirror to contact Albert, and Sirius must have a way to contact the Weasley brothers.
“Snape, how dare they let the **** who murdered Dumbledore take over as Headmaster.” Hagrid’s angry growl echoed through the room.
“Calm down, Hagrid.”
“How do you tell me to calm down.”
Hagrid was so angry that he wanted to avenge Dumbledore by breaking Snape’s bones with his bare hands.
“Now that the Mysterious Man has taken control of the Ministry of Magic, it’s not surprising that the Hogwarts board of trustees chose to compromise.” Slughorn reminded, “We are discussing a more important matter now.”
“The Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters are capturing Muggle-born wizards, and we are discussing how to help those Muggle-born students to prevent them from being sent to Azkaban Prison collectively.” Professor McGonagall saw To Hagrid, if they were going to hide those Muggle wizards, they needed someone to look after them, and Hagrid was obviously a good choice.
