Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 402: Compete with other schools!
,!
Sean knew that this Diango Rubio was sent out by Lupin. He was a powerful and reliable wizard in the organization he founded. He suddenly sent himself a message?
Sean unfolded the note and saw a sentence written at the beginning: "We were preempted."
Get ahead of...
Continue reading: "Starting early in the morning, I have visited a total of twelve houses, all of which are young wizards born in Muggle families. Only now have I won the first student to enter Hogwarts. Sir, I don't even have the chance to compete with others, because the admissions staff from other schools went there yesterday. Among the first eleven, six young wizards chose Nurmengard, three chose Beauxbatons, and three chose Durmstrang. This is my experience today. After contacting several colleagues, I found that they were the same, but not as many as I encountered. I will continue to the next one, and I will inform you of this news first."
"Hiss..." Sean gasped.
The old man Grindelwald was trapped under the invisibility cloak, and he was one step ahead of Hogwarts? !
The current enrollment situation is completely different from that when Sean received two admission notices at the same time. Because of the changes in the external situation, there is no such thing as door-to-door competition for students.
Basically, when a wizard comes to the door to show his magic, as long as he can gain the trust of the little wizard's family, then the student is considered recruited.
Then, the first opportunity is very important.
Sean always felt that Hogwarts' actions were quite fast. Unexpectedly, Grindelwald had already made a move...
Forget it, why did Beauxbaton and Durmstrang also get involved? !
There are four magic schools in Europe. In recent years, Nurmengard is the one with the most abundant students, followed by Hogwarts, followed by Beauxbatons, and lastly Durmstrang.
Let's say that Nurmengard robbed people, but the other two schools also came to the UK to rob people, which is a bit unreasonable.
Although the enrollment scope of each school is mostly for the whole of Europe, this situation is rare in previous years...
Could it be that several other schools have already started enrolling students, and all the students in their enrollment range in previous years have been admitted?
In addition, Durmstrang has gradually declined due to the rise of Nurmengard in recent years. Even so, this school famous for black magic has not given up its tradition of only recruiting pure-blood wizards. Just now, Diango Rubio's news clearly stated that he first recruited Muggle families...
Are the students this year so scarce...
Professor McGonagall saw the frowning Sean, and she stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Professor, please take a look at this." Sean handed over the note.
Professor McGonagall frowned after reading it: "No wonder, no wonder we waited so long for the new students to be sent over by the Portkey..."
"Professor, it's still within my understanding that Nurmengard snatches people. Will Beauxbatons and Durmstrang include the UK in their enrollment in previous years?" Sean asked suspiciously.
Professor McGonagall nodded: "For 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 of Europe. But because of the geographical location of the school, the enrollment range of each school is basically fixed."
"Take Hogwarts as an example. The source of students is basically from the UK. Occasionally, 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, and the enrollment range is basically in France and Spain. Durmstrang is located in Scandinavia, and the enrollment range is Northern Europe. Of course, Germany is also included."
Sean laughed a few times. He had always thought that Durmstrang was located near Germany...
Professor McGonagall saw that he was very curious, and continued to explain: "The rise of Nurmengard has seized most of Durmstrang's student sources, and Nurmengard is truly actively recruiting students from all over Europe, including some students who do not enroll."
"Not going to school?" Sean asked suspiciously.
"Yes," Professor McGonagall nodded, "There are a lot of wizards in Europe, but obviously, even the original three wizarding schools add up to not enough students. Because there are many young wizards who don't enroll, but give individual instruction like a long time ago, such as Greece. There are actually quite a few wizards in Greece, but whether it is Hogwarts or other schools, Greek students are rare. Because they basically don't enroll, their parents and family members may teach magic, or they may be taught by the more respected elders in the local wizarding community. Wizards come to teach, and they tend to be in a free-range state."
"And in some European border countries, young wizards may choose magic schools in other regions, such as the world's largest magic school, the Waggadu Magic School in Uganda, Africa, and the Kodos Torrez Magic School in St. Petersburg, Russia."
"I see..." After listening to Professor McGonagall's teaching, Sean suddenly realized and nodded.
Professor McGonagall looked at the note again, with some worry between his brows and eyes: "It may be the reason for the frequent accidents recently. All major schools have stepped up their recruitment efforts. Even Durmstrang has gone to recruit children from Muggle families. It seems that we at Hogwarts are a step behind..."
Sean looked up at the young wizards who had just put on their wizard robes in the side hall and were curiously looking at them. He silently counted the number, and then said, "According to the current situation, it's still acceptable...and my order to them is to recruit children from Muggle families first. After all, wizard families in the UK should still choose our Hogwarts."
"But..." Sean muttered.
"But what?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Professor, judging from the progress, Hogwarts is not slow. The reason why we are one step behind is actually..." Sean lowered his voice, "It has something to do with the British Ministry of Magic."
Professor McGonagall was taken aback for a moment, then pushed his glasses seriously: "You mean, the British Ministry of Magic and other schools leaked the news that we are going to recruit students privately?"
Shawn nodded: "Leave Nurmengard aside for the time being, the other two schools are a bit strange. Besides, it shouldn't be called leaking, Professor, you should have communicated with the Ministry of Magic before?"
"Yes, communicated, but did not agree, they will not allow us to enroll mid-semester."
"That's right. The Ministry of Magic refused to allow Hogwarts to enroll students, and then turned back to remind Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Professor, you are under the surveillance of the Ministry of Magic, so you can only give the task to me. A lot of time was wasted, which is why we were preempted." Sean explained.
Professor McGonagall's frown deepened: "But what's the benefit to the British Ministry of Magic..."
Shawn said faintly: "But the Ministry of Magic is no longer the former Ministry of Magic..."
Professor McGonagall sighed: "Yes..."
"In addition, wizards need to report when crossing the border, and their actions are so fast that it is not even enough to complete the reporting process... It can only be said that some official forces have opened the back door for them."
Professor McGonagall rubbed his temple with a headache: "Indeed."
"Actually, I have another guess." Sean changed the subject.
"What?"
"That is, will other schools temporarily let go of the young wizards that they have recruited in previous years because they want to seize the student source of Hogwarts first?" Sean said.
"It's very possible..." Professor McGonagall's eyes lit up.
"After all, the current schools are not holidays, but normal class hours. There are not many manpower available. I don't think they will have enough time to seize Hogwarts' students after enrolling students within their own range." Sean reminded.
"That's right, time is too late, because they have to convince every parent and little wizard one by one, especially wizards from Muggle families."
Sean blinked: "Professor, Hogwarts doesn't discriminate against students from other countries, right?"
"Of course, Hogwarts treats all students equally." Professor McGonagall said firmly.
"Why don't we think differently?" Sean laughed.
Shawn's judgment is based on the fact that the British Ministry of Magic is already under the control of the returnees, and the French, German and other ministries of magic are also under the control of the returnees. They want to rob Hogwarts of students, which proves that a larger number of new students may have an impact. In this case, Sean would of course have to go against the other party.
As for Nurmengard, Sean has nothing to do, anyway, Grindelwald robs every year...
Professor McGonagall immediately understood what Sean meant. She paced around for a while before making a decision.
"Sean, Hogwarts needs your help."
"It's an honor."
"I'm going to get more names of little wizards now, can you contact more people?"
"Of course, I'm used to making more preparations, and some people haven't set off yet." Sean said with a smile.
Professor McGonagall showed an appreciative expression: "Good job, Ravenclaw adds 20 points."
After speaking, she left in a hurry.
Sean knew that Professor McGonagall must be looking for the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance.
These two magical props that have existed since Hogwarts was founded are the key to Hogwarts enrollment. The Pen of Acceptance finds newborns with magical powers, and the conditions are looser, while the Book of Access is more rigorous. It uses strict standards to screen out the newborns discovered by the Pen of Acceptance, and only writes the other party's name in the book after confirming that the other party can become a wizard.
Only the principal and vice-principal can use these two magic props, and if Sean guessed correctly, the sensing range of the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance should have been only England.
Professor McGonagall is likely to use some method to expand its sensing range.
Shawn suddenly grinned.
Now, the whole of Europe is really entering the "battle" for new students.
It's getting more and more interesting...
…
The wizarding welfare organization hidden in the Muggle World Office Building was busy, and Lupine kept instructing his subordinates to classify the incoming information.
"This, this, this...these twenty children are relatively close...you go, Xia Di." Lupine ordered.
"Okay."
"You need to be quick in your persuasion, so you don't have to worry about your magic being discovered by the local Ministry of Magic. In addition, the boss also sent a new script, remember to use it. In addition, if the other party shows obvious resistance, then just give up and go to the next one."
"Don't worry, boss." Xia Di smiled and took the list and information form, then shook the portkey in his hand, "We are illegally smuggling here, and I don't plan to stay there for too long and be captured by the local Ministry of Magic."
Lupine smiled: "I don't worry about your work, go ahead."
"Okay." After speaking, Xia Di activated the Portkey and disappeared in place.
If Sean could see this scene, he would definitely nod in satisfaction.
This is money ability.
Since he is going to compete for students from other schools, it is obviously unrealistic to report to the Ministry of Magic. However, at the beginning of its establishment, the Wizard Welfare Organization carried out Xiao En's consistent thinking-practical!
It doesn't matter whether there is no distinction between black and white or black and white, as long as you can be moved by benefits, you can contact.
With a lot of galleons provided by Mr. Wallop, Lupine easily reached an agreement with many border smuggling wizards, and even contacted many smugglers.
Now, as long as he spends money, Sean can bypass the Ministry of Magic's border monitoring and directly smuggle a bunch of people across.
Now, it depends on the effect...
In the Hogwarts castle, Sean was still greeting the freshmen who came to report, and the get out of class was over. At Sean's request, the prefects also came to help.
At this time, the Muggle family wizards in the UK have almost beckoned, and children from wizard families began to be teleported by the Portkey.
"Thank you, Mr. Wallop."
"You're welcome, Kay." Sean smiled and waved to the little boy in front of him, who was the younger brother of Sean's roommate, Cormac McLaggen.
Sean looked up at the number of students in the side hall. It wasn't too small, but it wasn't enough compared to previous years.
Just as I was thinking ~IndoMTL.com~ Another person was teleported by the door key in the center of the side hall.
"Hello, junior, may I ask your name?"
"Carvin Andres, you, hello, sir." The pale-skinned little boy spoke with a thick German accent.
Sean's eyes lit up: "Where are you from?"
"Germany, Bremen of Germany."
It became... Sean secretly rejoiced.
After an introduction, Calvin Andres handed over a note: "Sir, the gentleman who recruited asked me to convey... I'm sorry, I was so, so nervous, I almost forgot..."
"It's okay, thank you."
After the nervous little boy left, Sean unfolded the note.
"Everything is going well, the first Muggle family has not been recruited by other schools, I will go to the next family immediately."
Sure enough, Beauxbaton and Durmstrang haven't taken care of the local students...
Shawn grinned.
