Chapter 1076 ?12
"You know, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is recognized as one of the most democratic and most educated great wizarding schools, influenced by Ilvermorny's school ethos... Although the students recruited by Hogwarts do not care about their backgrounds, But your style..." Leonard paused in embarrassment, "but your style seems to them to be too authoritarian. When you kicked Dumbledore out of the school and expelled those pure-blood families, A lot of people think you can't stand other voices..."
Hermione, who was taking a sip of butter beer, put down her glass when she heard the words: "Ilvermorny's perception of Britain has always been not very good. People, but because of the persecution of the British aunt Gormley Gaunt, they didn't go to Hogwarts, and they were forced to board the Mayflower and live in America..."
"Miss Granger is really knowledgeable. In addition, the problem you are not easy to explain is for me... Actually, it is not just a historical factor, nor a conflict of ideas. It is also a competition for the title of the best magic school in the world. Ilvermorny has always regarded Hogwarts as its biggest competitor, so some radical young people can easily become hostile to Hogwarts..." Leonard said very sincerely, and then put Focusing on Alan, "And this time at the International Federation of Wizards, Alan, you took advantage of the strength of the United Kingdom to show such arrogance and force, and forced the chairman Abakind to bow his head and apologize... If you pass it back, you will definitely be opposed. Rigid Fuji III of the leading Graves family uses this as a trick to bring you more hostility and opponents."
"The Graves family? One of the twelve Aurors originally recruited by the Magical Council of America?" Hermione, who had business dealings with his state because of the umbrella, reacted immediately, and then she looked at Alan and explained another sentence for him. "The first volunteer Aurors hold a special place in the history of American magic. The challenges faced by these twelve individuals were so great that when they volunteered to join the ranks of Aurors, they were ready Psychological preparation for sacrificing life... The first task of the Magic Congress after its establishment was to judge those purgers who betrayed the same kind of wizards. Executed...but only two of the original twelve Aurors survived to old age, and they, and generations of Aurors since, are held in considerable esteem in the magical community."
"In fact, I have a little impression. I have read a bit of the files of the British Ministry of Magic. In 2010, the Salem Witch Trial in the United States took place... At that time, at least two leaders of the so-called Puritan judges were known purgers... The reason why the United States is now There are so many No-Maj and half-blood wizards in the No-Maj world precisely because of some notorious scavengers who escaped the Magic Congress of America. After the International Hunting Order was issued, these people disappeared forever from the No-Maj population Among them. Some of them started families with No-Majs, and their offspring would be discarded if they were gifted with magic, leaving only non-magical offspring to hide their identity as scavengers."
"And the reason why the American magic community implemented even stricter secrecy measures than the Secrecy Act itself was the Rappaport Law promulgated by the United States, which stipulates that wizards who are even willing to lock their wands in a cabinet cannot Marrying a No-Maj is the same..." Hermione immediately added, "Bartholomew Barebone, a descendant of the Scavengers. During an outing, the witch Dorcas Twelve Trees fell in love with him... Bartolomeo firmly believed in the existence of magic, and believed that all wizards are evil and should be eliminated. So he managed to extract a lot of magic-related information from Dorcas and made it public, causing the "International Statute of Secrecy" was seriously violated... this incident led to the Magical Congress of America enacting even more stringent laws mandating a strict separation of No-Maj and the wizarding world to prevent such incidents from happening again.
"——When Alan admitted in front of Hermione that he wanted to break the secrecy law, she used the example that no-majs and wizards in the United States could not marry, and she clearly checked the ins and outs of these rules and regulations.
"If you are in the Ilvermorny branch... the crystal embedded in the forehead of the long-horned water snake will definitely shine... Really impressive knowledge..." Leonard was a little dumbfounded, "But the cat and leopard statue in my college is probably not I will yell at you bullies..."
"I probably won't let the cat and leopard statue make a sound, but Leonard..." Alan nodded first and then shook his head, "but Hermione can definitely... If she is not a resolute warrior, no one will Forget it, you may have forgotten that she is from Gryffindor? Besides, the Hogwarts Sorting Hat almost put her in Ravenclaw."
"No, Alan, don't praise me!" Hermione nodded in satisfaction at the sudden compliment and her ruddy complexion.
"And Hermione has a pet that is Thunderbird, she also likes adventures, so the statue wings of the Thunderbird Academy who are keen to accept adventurers must spread for Hermione, and Pukki chooses to accept kind and noble healers... Hermione The leading umbrella makes potions that are cheap and cheap, and she is also good at healing spells, so the statue of Pukeqi will definitely raise her bow and arrow for her... If there are statues of more than one college expressing their willingness to recruit students, then the right to choose It fell on the student himself, but this situation is very rare, Leonard, it seems to only happen once in ten years?" Allen didn't let Hermione off.
Hermione was a little overwhelmed: "Enough! Alan don't say..."
"Miss Granger, you may think he is flattering you because of your relationship? But you are indeed a very good witch... if you do so much, you may indeed make four statues react Yes..." Leonard was also a little excited about this way of interacting with Jessica... but then he was caught by Hermione's eyes and remembered that he would have to talk to her about some investment matters later, His momentum immediately softened, and he coughed twice and changed the subject, "By the way, speaking of Puke...the Puke named William who saved the founder Isolt and her husband James may still be alive. Alive! You are so well educated that you know... To this day, there are still many Pukechi working at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... Their complaints continue, and they insist that they do not want to stay at the school, but the young Year after year, Pukechi still haunt the school mysteriously. No one knows the lifespan of Pukechi, so no one knows whether William has passed away... However, there is a very old Pukechi in the school , would respond to the name "William."
Allen became a little interested: "Then this Pukeqi's lifespan has already exceeded 300 years old..."
Leonard nodded: "This Pukeqi has been guarding Isolt's marble statue, and every year on the anniversary of Isolt's death, a few Mayflowers will be placed on her grave. However, if someone is careless He would lose his temper when he mentioned this matter. He also laughed off the claim that he was Pukage who saved Isolt and James, saying that if that William was still alive, he would have been over three hundred years old .However, there are still many people who insist that he is Isolt's former companion."
"The next time I go to the United States, I have to go and see them... These arrogant little guys are much cuter than their distant European goblins..." Alan saw that Hermione was also fascinated after speaking, He hastily stunned and exclaimed, "Wow, Hermione! I thought of someone!"
"Ah?!" Hermione, who was still immersed in the story, was taken aback by Alan's yelling. She raised her head abruptly to shake her thick hair, "What? Who?"
"Speaking of which, in the 1920s, she served as the chairman of the Magical Congress of the United States for several years. At that time, the most prestigious witch, Serafina Piccolo, met - the four academies wanted to recruit her..." Allen's expression He looked serious and serious, "Maybe you can be the Minister of Magic for a few years in the future..."
"That's enough!" Although Hermione actually likes to be praised, she had to keep a straight face in order to maintain her dignity in this situation, and then said angrily, "I have to remind you, Mr. Knox And Alan... just now it seemed we were going to talk about not liking Alan in the American wizarding community for your rigidity Fuji Graves."
"Uh..." Allen admitted with a weak voice, "Uh...you're right..." Then he and Leonard looked at each other with some embarrassment and asked, "So, Leonard, this rigid Fuji Can you tell us the specific situation of the third generation?"
"As I said just now, the families of the twelve Aurors originally recruited by the Magical Congress of the United States have considerable influence in the American magical political circle. This Gangdu Fuji, who has the same name as his ancestor, is one of them... This young man is very outstanding and Been an Auror for a few years, oh, it's a tradition in these families... When he was in school, he made all the statues respond except for Pukechi, but he has always been more radical and thinks that Ilvermorny is the most beautiful in the world Good school of magic, very talented in magic, a top student like you, and also has excellent speech organization skills, has a strong appeal in the hearts of young people in the Magic Congress... You are very disgusted with Britain and Alan , after the remarks you made in the summer vacation of the fifth grade, you have clearly expressed your dislike of Harris' tyranny in public many times... and you have also opposed Miss Granger's umbrella to come to the United States, but you know our style, and you are not interested in investing in a It is very welcome, so his views are too radical in the eyes of us old men..."
"It sounds like a stunned young man with a bit of talent..." Allen took a sip from his glass after speaking, "Speaking of Hermione, Abraham Potter, one of the twelve Aurors in the United States, and Harry It's kind of distantly related, and after Harry became the Boy Who Lived, enthusiastic genealogists looked at the connection between their family trees."
"Alan, don't take it lightly. The live broadcast duel between you and Voldemort and the education reform declaration silenced these people for a while, so this time our neutral faction won because of this relationship..." Leonard's expression returned to seriousness, "It was a big blow to the small faction, but after that Gang Fuji seemed to become more tactful, using his social talents to make a lot of people, and because Ian didn't participate in it, But I also became friends with him like many young people, and often go to the bar to drink together, so I want to remind you... not only the rigid Fuji in the United States, of course he doesn't have this ability. How about you, but I think young people in many countries Li... I know there are more people who admire you, but if you do it too recklessly, you will make others feel threatened and you will push them to the opposite side..."
"Thank you very much, Leonard. Like Professor Flitwick, you have always taken care of me and treated me as one of your own..." Alan thanked him sincerely, and then paused, "But in the end, I still have a question , Excuse me, I just noticed you said they go to the bar a lot, so this Gangfuji likes to drink? But in the recent changes...have you become more alcoholic...like often taking a sip from the flagon or something?"
"Of course not, he hasn't reached the point of being an alcoholic yet...Huh?" Leonard understood half of what Alan meant because of his occupation, "Alan, I know that Percival Graves is also his family. Yes, but since the security director of the Magic Congress was impersonated directly by Grindelwald with superb transfiguration, the Magic Congress will conduct security checks on members in this area from time to time, whether it is compound soup or transfiguration. Can't hide..."
Allen shrugged when he heard this: "I've read too many novels recently..."
After the sound of "dong", a woman's scream and cry came from outside the door.
