Chapter 314 Follow-Up (Modified, Thanks to Super Silver Alliance Ksg, Magic Feather)
A warm-hearted official of the Ministry of Magic who was at the scene told me: "At that time, the standard of judging Alan Harris was far beyond the normal standard, and the attitude of the testers towards him was indeed serious and indifferent..."
...
This can't help but remind us of the incident of Sirius being wronged. The reason why Peter Pettigrew was able to hide in the wizard family for so many years is because he is an illegal Animagus; the same is true for Sirius, although he was wronged and imprisoned, But through the transformation of illegal Animagus, he managed to escape from the heavily guarded Azkaban...
It was Barty Crouch who was in charge of Sirius' case at the beginning, and Alan Harris played a pivotal role in the Sirius case and successfully overturned Sirius' case.
We have reason to doubt whether Barty Crouch authorized his subordinates to do so deliberately in order to retaliate against Alan Harris who exposed his dereliction of duty in the Sirius incident.
All the above are enough to prove that the Ministry of Magic should pay attention to the management of Animagus, improve service attitude, improve the quality of officials, and rectify the work style.
We will continue to pay attention to the follow-up of the incident and look forward to the Ministry of Magic's reply.
Chief correspondent Rita Skeeter reports.
The power of the "Daily Prophet" is still great, as can be seen from the fact that the number of love letters received by Allen has doubled.
Not just a love letter, Allen's training organization has become hot.
Even Percy Weasley and Draco Malfoy, who were about to graduate, found Alan in private and expressed their desire to enter.
Percy Weasley, seeing his embarrassing expression, Allen understood that this person probably came to get help from his family in the Ministry of Magic in the future.
And Draco Malfoy? Allen guessed that on the one hand, he wanted his own friendship; on the other hand, he might have been instructed by his father, Lucius Malfoy.
Naturally, Allen readily agreed to their request. There was nothing wrong with it, and it didn't have much impact on him.
Furthermore, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Although Allen no longer needs to study Animagus, as time goes by, Quidditch training takes up more and more of his life.
Everyone is preparing for the battle with all their strength, and Allen doesn't have much free time.
Therefore, the training activities can only be completely handed over to Penello and Hermione.
Currently, they and Luna are Alan's most trusted people at Hogwarts.
In fact, Penello is busier than Allen. In addition to completing her review, she also has to organize and plan training camps, and Hermione doesn't have much free time because she has signed up for too many elective courses—and Luna obviously Like Alan, he is a little afraid of trouble, and often becomes a little elusive at such times.
And after Allen's Animagus incident fermented, the number of Hogwarts students who joined the training camp reached a rather terrifying number, making it completely different from other student organizations that only had a dozen or even A small community of a few people.
As a result, organizing events has become an extremely difficult task.
Just the application form to enter the training camp is enough to cause headaches.
For this reason, Allen specially called Penello, Luna, and Hermione to the Response Room to help.
However, Allen's stay was not long, because he suddenly received a Quidditch training notice.
Allen briefly explained to Hermione Penello, who was sitting together debating their respective plans, and then turned and left. The moment he opened the door and turned around, he saw Luna standing on the escalator.
In an instant, Allen smiled brightly, waved to Luna, and then turned and left.
After Allen left, Hermione looked at Penello's expression, and suddenly took the initiative to put forward her own ideas.
"Penello, you are about to face the N.E.W.Ts exam, which involves your future future. I suggest that you better devote yourself to the review." Hermione held a pile of application forms and looked rather haggard. Penello.
Penello squinted those beautiful eyes, unable to tell what he was thinking.
However, Hermione didn't care about Penello's thoughts, "Penello, you are graduating soon, Alan needs help, I think I am good enough in all aspects to help Alan. Moreover, I am the same age as him , can manage until we graduate at the same time. Now it is better to take over and get familiar with the work in advance.”
Hermione's eyes looked straight at Penello. She said these words from her heart, and she was not afraid of Penello's scrutiny.
There was a sudden silence between the two.
Luna stood on the high escalator, playing with a walnut in her hand, widened her light silver eyes, and looked down at the two quietly. Seeing their confrontation, Luna showed a slight smile on her face, No sound.
It took a long time for Penello to force himself to chuckle, agreeing to Hermione's proposal.
Hermione's words are not unreasonable. She is about to graduate, and Allen really needs help. Although Penello was unwilling, she had to admit that Hermione was good enough, and she was the best candidate trusted by Allen.
Although Hermione's studies are also very intense, but she believes that she has a time switch, so she can use more time and resolutely devote herself to the organization and construction of training activities.
For this reason, she even dropped Professor Traorini's divination class, just to free up more time for training camps.
Although they didn't tell Alan about this change in their division of labor, Alan took it into his heart. However, he wisely didn't interfere with their decision, and didn't even mention it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When the exhausted Allen returned to the dormitory, a very majestic owl was confronting Benny.
The two of them stared at each other without blinking their eyes.
Looking at these two pairs of staring round eyes, Allen couldn't help laughing.
The majestic strange owl looked at Alan, then lifted his left leg neatly, so that Alan could take down the letter.
Allen used a shallow dish, filled some water and carpaccio, and placed it in front of the strange owl.
Benny, this little guy is very protective of food. If you want to take food from its mouth, you have to be prepared to be pecked.
There is a special compartment in Allen's space, just for the gluttonous Benny, which is filled with carpaccio.
The owl tilted its head and glanced at Allen, and began to peck. After flying so far, it obviously needs to replenish energy.
After doing all this, Alan picked up the letter and opened it to read.
The letter was sent by his father Owen. In the letter, Owen mentioned that Alex Morgan, the female official who made things difficult for Allen, was indeed Crouch's subordinate. She made things difficult for Allen on her own initiative and was caught by Fudge's group. , From her bad service attitude, it rose to damage the image of the Ministry of Magic, so she lost her job directly as a reason.
Despite the utter stupidity of Alex's behavior, Crouch still fought hard in front of Fudge, trying to cling to her position.
However, Fudge looked at Crouch with the eyes of a victor and a superior, and said lightly: "If Crouch must keep Alex, then he will tell the truth and tell the reporter that it is Crouch's." For this reason, Alex was not punished."
If Fudge said so, then Crouch's charge of suppressing Allen would be immediately carried out.
For his own reputation, Crouch could only eat this bitter fruit and gave up Alex Morgan.
And some officials in the Ministry of Magic who had leaned towards him saw that Crouch could not protect his subordinates, so they also saw the wind and joined Fudge and Owen's camp.
