Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1295: Asylum plan (2)
Honestly speaking, when Snape became the new headmaster of Hogwarts and expelled dozens of Muggle-born students at one go, it was enough to shock the entire British wizarding world and made it onto the front pages of major newspapers. up.
However, under the deliberate control of the Ministry of Magic, this incident did not cause any waves in the magic world, as if the whole incident never happened.
The only relevant news comes from the Ministry of Magic's announcement that one must prove one's wizarding ancestry to be admitted.
What does that mean? Everyone who heard the news chose to pretend not to see it, pretending not to know.
Muggle-borns don't have a voice anyway.
It's not me who can't go to school.
As for the Muggle-born students who have been expelled from Hogwarts, there is nothing they can do after encountering this kind of misfortune. Even if they want to protest to the Ministry of Magic, they will only throw themselves into a trap and send themselves to Azkaban .
To put it bluntly.
Muggle-borns have been outcast by the wizarding community.
Of course, everyone will pretend that they don't know about this matter, so as not to appear too heartless.
It's not their fault.
In this situation, the wizards in the whole of the UK simply don't have the energy to pay attention to Muggle-borns, let alone have extra sympathy to help them, because most wizards are also about to lose their own protection.
However, there are always some discordant voices in this world.
The broadcast of the wizarding watch station actually reported this incident, and told the vast masses of the British wizarding community the cruel truth that the Ministry of Magic had to prove their wizarding blood to be admitted to school: seventy or eighty Muggle-born students He was fired overnight.
Although people are reluctant to believe and admit many things reported on the wizard watch station radio, they also know where to get the truth they want.
Even if the truth is often very cruel, often extremely harsh, and often easily pierce their little fantasy, but the truth is always like that.
Unless they themselves don't want to believe it, unless...you can't expect the broadcast from the Wizard's Watchtower to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
Many people, because of the cruel truth described in the broadcast, chose to report to the Ministry of Magic to the wizard lookout station, trying to shut up the chattering announcer on the broadcast.
However, the Ministry of Magic could do nothing about it, because they couldn't break through the protection of the Fidelity Curse, directly destroy the hidden radio station, let alone stop people from listening to the radio.
Most wizards are well aware that the Ministry of Magic is no longer trustworthy. They are eager to know the truth, and they are unwilling to sink to death in ridiculous deception and lies.
As for being blacklisted by the Ministry of Magic, Lee Jordan really doesn't care at all, but is more keen to share the truth with everyone every day.
In his words, people need the truth and should not be deceived by the hypocritical lies of the Death Eaters.
Yes.
Even if the truth is so cruel, it should not be buried.
Of course, a rescue operation for the Muggle-born students had quietly begun, but Lee Jordan did not mention it on the radio.
After all, there might be Death Eaters or minions of the Ministry of Magic secretly eavesdropping, or someone with an abnormal mind would report it to the Ministry of Magic, which would only add trouble to the follow-up work.
"It's unbelievable. I didn't expect the deans of Hogwarts to come over to help!"
Looking at the hotel being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, Lee Jordan couldn't help but sigh, "I'm curious how Albert persuaded them to help."
"I heard that Professor McGonagall took the initiative to contact Albert."
Shanna knows something. The professors at Hogwarts actually want to help Muggle-born students like them, but more often they are powerless. After all, they still need to stay in Hogwarts. Things are very limited, but the appearance of Albert gave them hope.
"However, having said that, this place has really become the headquarters of the Defense Association."
Cedric was deeply moved by this. He remembered that Albert had told them that this was the headquarters of the Defense Association, and he had also told the location of this place to the dark wizards who captured him.
"It turns out that Albert didn't lie to people from the beginning, or he had already expected that and planned to do so."
"That guy seldom lies." Truman smiled and patted Cedric on the shoulder: "I haven't seen him lie since I knew him."
"I dare say, there will definitely be many dark wizards coming to watch here." Kenneth had already guessed what would happen here in the future, and he also guessed Albert's purpose for doing that.
Effectively divert the attention of Death Eaters.
After all, the Death Eaters had been trying to find the headquarters of the Defense Society.
With the cover here now, the village will be safer.
"However, is it really okay to restore it like this?" Qiu Zhang looked at the dilapidated hotel and asked puzzledly, "It should be uninhabitable now."
Compared with the place where they settled, it looks like a refugee camp.
Yes, this is a refugee camp.
"They are here to escape. You expect them to live comfortably. It would be nice to have a safe place to live temporarily."
Kenneth thought Cedric's girlfriend was so innocent and cute, he turned his head and asked Albert beside him.
"Speaking of which, why didn't you choose the headquarters here? As long as this place is slightly repaired, it will be more comfortable and safer than where we live now."
The place where they live is actually not safe, because it is impossible for the Fidelity Curse to cover the entire village.
"I need a headquarters to attract firepower, and this is undoubtedly the best choice, so I chose this place at the beginning." Albert opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Besides, there is more space here and more freedom. , there are enough floors to accommodate them, which is more suitable for the group of temporarily expelled students. So this is our headquarters, and that village is our temporary stronghold."
"Reverse thinking?" Shanna suddenly asked.
"No, because which village is more secretive, no one will think about it." Albert shook his head and said, "It's safer not to know."
"Most of the holes have been plugged, and this place can be repaired soon." The Wesley twins followed several professors down the stairs.
"Tomorrow, we will start contacting those students who were expelled and bring those students who are willing to come." Professor McGonagall was surprised by Albert's ability to act, and they completed it in just a few days The rudiments of a simple shelter.
"Once the transfer of students starts, the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters will probably target this place." Cedric reminded, "Don't forget, most of the students carry traces on them. Appearance will reveal the position."
"It's expected." Albert reminded, "Professor, after you start transferring those students, it's best to finish it before the Ministry of Magic reacts."
"We will." Professor Flitwick nodded, "Then they will leave it to you."
"I will let Lupine come over to give them lectures when he is free, at least teach them the knowledge of defense against the dark arts. Moody will also come over when he is free, and find something for them to do." Albert left the permission card to enter here To Professor McGonagall, after all he couldn't stay here all day to guide them into the shelter.
"As for whether they want to stay or not, it's up to them to do so voluntarily, don't force them."
"As long as they have a sense of crisis, they should stay together."
Professor Slughorn is not worried about this, he feels that Albert has seen things very clearly.
If you are not willing to accept help, just let them fend for themselves
"Has the food arrived?" asked Professor Sprout.
"The first batch of food will be delivered later, but it can only fill your stomach. At that time, you can quietly find a few house-elves from the Hogwarts kitchen to help, and let them follow the house-elves The elves learn how to cook food." Albert had already planned for them, and it was none of his business whether they were willing to follow the plan.
"That's good. I have arranged the basement according to your requirements. You can grow some edible mushrooms, and you can also grow vegetables on the roof." Professor Sprout didn't have a good idea.
"So, from the very beginning, did you intend to turn this place into a public shelter and let them save themselves?" Professor Flitwick asked suddenly, "So that they won't be too dependent on us?"
"This is the best choice, isn't it?" Albert shrugged, "As for whether they want to stay, that is their own choice, and no one can blame them."
"That's fine, but what we can do is limited." Professor Flitwick nodded, "It's impossible to take care of everyone, and it's impossible to satisfy all students."
If you try your best to help others but have to endure other people's complaints, forget it, after all, they are human beings.
Even if the professors don't want anything in return ~IndoMTL.com~, no one wants to have such an unpleasant experience, so they all feel willing to listen to Albert's arrangement.
"Anyway, the mysterious man and the Death Eaters will definitely not be able to get in. The biggest problem is to prevent wizards controlled by the Imperius Curse from getting in. We can solve this part of the problem through detectors." Albert suddenly said, "If It would be even better if Hagrid was willing to come and help, after all, having acquaintances around would make them feel more secure."
"Hagrid still intends to stay at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall was quite helpless about this. She had already mentioned this matter to Hagrid, but Hagrid still had no intention of letting go of his half-mother temporarily. The half-brother came to help.
"There's nothing you can do about it, it's Hagrid's own choice." Albert didn't say anything more.
Everyone has their own choice, barely makes sense.
"I really don't care about them then?" Professor McGonagall was still not at ease.
"People from both sides can take turns to come here every day." Albert said without hesitation, "Bring them some newspapers, or teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts. I think it is necessary for them to learn some self-protection skills."
