Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1292: Muggle Wizarding Asylum
"What's that?"
Hermione, who was originally focused on watching Harry and Ron team up to fight against Sirius, was startled by the sudden silver light group.
Her scream disturbed the three who were concentrating on sparring.
As soon as he was distracted, Ron was knocked out by an obstacle spell and fell heavily to the ground.
"What's wrong, Hermione."
Harry and Sirius stopped practicing duel, and they all frowned and looked in the direction of Hermione's finger, only to see a ball of silver light falling on the floor and turning into a silver cat.
"Need to contact Albert's double-sided mirror." Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly sounded.
"Is this Professor McGonagall's patron saint?"
Ron walked over rubbing his sore buttocks with his hands, and looked at the Patronus who disappeared without a trace.
"Professor McGonagall wants to contact Albert?"
Harry turned his head to look at Sirius, he had already guessed that Sirius and the others had a way to contact Albert.
"Maybe there is something wrong. It seems that I have to go to Hogwarts."
Sirius stared at the place where the patron saint disappeared, and walked directly outside.
"Will it have something to do with Snape? I remember that the old bat seems to be the headmaster of Hogwarts." Ron felt that he had guessed the reason.
"Probably not." Harry shook his head.
"No one wants the murderer of Dumbledore to become the headmaster of Hogwarts, maybe Professor McGonagall intends to join Albert to drive Snape out of Hogwarts, or..." Ron did With a throat-slitting gesture, he figured that if they really wanted to avenge Dumbledore, it wouldn't be too difficult to make Snape disappear.
"Definitely not, I think it's probably for students born in Muggle families." Hermione glanced at Ron, really unable to understand how Ron came to such a conclusion.
"Don't forget the Muggle Birth Registration Committee. Those employees who were born in Muggle families who worked for the Ministry of Magic were directly thrown into Azkaban. I don't think the Death Eaters will let Huo easily Gwartz's students, moreover, the mysterious man has always wanted to drive the 'Mudblood' out of Hogwarts, and now he has finally completely controlled Hogwarts, and no one can stop him from driving away students born in Muggle families Obviously, Professor McGonagall can't stop it."
"I hope those students can be helped."
Harry was well aware of the difficulties those students faced.
After being expelled from the school for no reason, the Ministry of Magic may come to their door and confiscate their wands at any time, and find an excuse to throw them into Azkaban.
Even if they want to escape, it is very difficult. They cannot use magic if they have traces on their bodies, otherwise they will be immediately targeted by the Ministry of Magic.
How hopeless this is.
"I believe Albert must have a way." Hermione comforted.
"Anderson is not omnipotent, you can't rely on him for everything." Ron really couldn't understand where Hermione's confidence in Albert came from.
"Albert is indeed not omnipotent, but he probably knew that this kind of thing would happen a long time ago. Don't forget the "Self-Defense Guide". Talk to Albert about the main reason for this matter." Harry still knew something about Albert, and with that guy's cautious approach, he must have made a lot of preparations, and sometimes he couldn't help but suspect Albert It would be a student of Gryffindor.
After receiving the patron saint message from Professor McGonagall, Sirius rushed to Hogwarts with the double-sided mirror.
At this moment, the surroundings of Hogwarts are still protected by strong protective magic. When Sirius was considering whether to enter Hogwarts through the tunnel of the Whomping Willow, he saw Hagrid striding towards the Come to open the door for him.
"Did you bring the mirror?" Hagrid gasped.
"Bring it."
Sirius produced a mirror from his robe pocket.
"Let me tell you, Professor McGonagall has just received news that that **** Snape has been appointed as the new headmaster of Hogwarts. Maybe we should take this opportunity to kill him to avenge Dumbledore."
Listening to Hagrid's endless complaints along the way, Sirius frowned and asked, "I fully agree to take the opportunity to kill the snot, but I think Professor McGonagall definitely didn't look for Albert for this reason."
"Professor McGonagall seems to want to protect students born in Muggle families who may be expelled." Hagrid only got a general idea.
"It's not easy."
Sirius frowned when he guessed what Professor McGonagall wanted to do.
"Let's not talk about whether those students are willing, and... I mean, although the Fidelity Curse is a good choice, it will also bring many problems. It is not enough to put those children in a safe cage. Let it go."
Sirius is not against Professor McGonagall's plan, but such a plan is destined to be difficult to implement, and various problems are not so easy to solve.
But he still felt that Professor McGonagall did the right thing. He asked Albert to consult and help solve the problem. Maybe that guy could provide a reliable solution.
After the two-way mirror was successfully connected, not only Professor McGonagall, but also other deans heaved a sigh of relief.
"Professor?"
Albert's slightly surprised voice came from the mirror.
"Is there anything you want from me?"
"The mysterious man extended his claws to Hogwarts. As you predicted earlier, Snape became the new headmaster of Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone present and said, "I think you should have heard about the Muggle-Born Registration Committee."
"Are you worried that those students born in Muggle families studying at Hogwarts will be expelled by Snape?" Albert immediately guessed why Professor McGonagall was looking for him.
"Yes. After the Ministry of Magic announced the establishment of the Muggle Birth Registration Committee, they sent all employees born in Muggle families in the Ministry of Magic to Azkaban." Professor McGonagall expressed his concerns: " I'm worried those guys are sending Muggle-born students from Hogwarts to Azkaban as well."
"Your worries are right. The Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters will indeed do that. They now control the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts School, and no one can stop them."
"Is there any way you can provide some help to those children?" Professor McGonagall asked expectantly.
"Unfortunately, I have tried my best to remind them that this day has come." Albert shook his head and said, "However, the effect is not very good. Most people prefer to trust their own judgment. Before those things, you will not easily believe what others say."
Albert didn't have much special feeling about the result of Weiss coming to the family, maybe he knew it would be like this from the beginning.
"Of course, I think the professor should have his own ideas." His tone was very determined.
"We plan to build a safe house similar to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and use the Loyalty Charm to protect those children." Professor McGonagall briefly explained his plan.
"That's a good idea, but it's going to be a lot of trouble."
Albert seemed to guess that Professor McGonagall would say that, and explained, "People are not animals after all, and they probably can't tolerate being locked in a cage."
Professor McGonagall opened his mouth, apparently not expecting to hear such words.
"I suggest that you explain the situation to them directly and take the form of voluntary acceptance of protection. After all, not everyone is willing to accept your favor. It is best to give them the right to choose and let them decide whether to stay or not. Come down."
"It seems that you already have an idea." Sirius was not surprised, he felt that Albert had probably already thought of this idea.
"Tell me about your method." Professor Flitwick said with a smile.
"Occupy a building with a large enough area first, and use the Loyalty Charm to turn it into a safe area." Albert briefly described his method to everyone, "Well, it's probably a refugee camp, I remember Sk Lin Jie has made similar things before, they are all similar anyway, but they don't need to be so perfect."
“Where can they go to receive limited shelter if they are desperate, and if they don’t feel they need shelter, they can leave on their own.”
"As long as the safe zone is protected by the Fidelity Curse, it is considered safe."
Professor McGonagall looked sideways at the other deans around him, and everyone quickly exchanged glances with each other, and they all felt that this idea was good.
At least it is in line with their original protection plan, and Albert obviously thinks further, even thinking about the problems that may arise in the future.
"But this can really... I mean provide students with..." Professor Sprout was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"You must let them understand that you are a refugee, and don't indulge them, because some people are born that way, the harder you force, the more resistant they are..."
Albert's words made them all stunned. It's not that they couldn't think of it, but that they didn't think about it.
"Actually, you have been ignoring the big problem."
"What's the big deal?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Where did the living supplies come from? Where did the Galleons who rescued them come from? Do you expect someone to shamelessly sponsor a large sum of Galleons?" Albert curled his lips and said, "I don't mind donating some flour. potatoes, but without the help of house-elves, many students have trouble even cooking food.”
The professors were silent again, because they really hadn't considered this issue from the beginning to the end. During their tenure at Hogwarts, they never had to consider the issue of food.
"The Order of the Phoenix may not be able to provide much help." Sirius noticed Professor McGonagall's gaze, shook his head and said, "However, I can donate a hundred Galleons to them to buy flour and potatoes."
The deans here may have a little savings ~IndoMTL.com~ but they are definitely not rich.
Their Galleons can't fill this bottomless pit, but if they just barely maintain the minimum living requirements as Albert said, it shouldn't be too difficult.
"The big question now is, will they really want to stay in that kind of ghost place?" Professor Slughorn asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid they have no choice." Albert said suddenly, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic will soon set up a so-called search team."
"What's that?"
"A search team formed by dark wizards hunts down Muggle-born wizards everywhere, and every time they catch a person, they can get a considerable reward from the Ministry of Magic." Albert explained.
"It seems that we have to hurry up." Professor McGonagall nodded to the deans next to him.
"At that time, Hagrid can go over to help take care of them, after all, we still need someone to help maintain order." Albert's voice came out from the double-sided mirror, "Is it okay to let him stay in Hogwarts?" That's a good idea."
