Chapter 4128 4130 [Ministry of Magic Takes Credit]

Hogwarts professors arrived later, including Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Slughorn...

When they saw that the giants had been subdued and the houses had been repaired, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After learning that it was Xiang Nan who defeated the three giants alone and successfully repaired the house destroyed by the giants, the professors all looked at him with surprise, appreciation and admiration.

"Well done, Severus~" Headmaster Dumbledore praised.

Professor McGonagall was also very excited. Being able to use the repair spell so well showed that Xiang Nan had a very high level of attainment in the field of Transfiguration.

Because ordinary wizards can only repair some broken cups, jars or glasses when casting the repair spell. It is not an easy task to repair a demolished house.

Professor Flitwick was even more excited, because Xiang Nan was a student of Ravenclaw.

"Merlin's beard~" Slughorn looked at the three giants, then at Xiang Nan, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Kid, did you really do this by yourself?"

Even for him, it would be extremely difficult to deal with three adult giants. I didn't expect Xiang Nan to be able to defeat three giants at such a young age. It was really unexpected.

...

At this time, the Deputy Minister of Magic, Creed Hemsworth, also rushed over with the Aurors using the Floo powder.

They were also surprised to see the three giants lying on the street.

Since the establishment of the British Ministry of Magic in the 18th century, the Aurors have been organized to clear out the giants and drive them into the deep mountains and dense forests, away from the crowd and away from the town.

The number of giants has gradually decreased due to the attacks of the Aurors, the deterioration of the living environment, and the internal fighting. By this century, there are very few giants living in the British Isles, and ordinary people may not see them once in their lifetime.

I didn't expect that they would appear in Hogsmeade Village now. Was it intentional or did they just pass by accidentally? Were they sent by someone to harass them, or were they hungry and ran down the mountain to find food...

These questions must be clarified, otherwise, there will be a big mess.

After all, everyone in the wizarding world knows the reputation of giants. Letting these guys run wild in the wizarding world is a serious failure of the Ministry of Magic.

"Are there any casualties?" Creed asked as soon as he arrived.

When he learned that everyone escaped in time, no one died, and only a few people were injured, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because of the relationship between Voldemort and the Death Eaters, the relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the people is very tense.

Due to the constraints of conservative forces within the Ministry of Magic, it has never been able to launch an effective attack on Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Those pure-blood families with huge power and strong connections are not only unwilling to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but are even willing to become their accomplices.

The mixed-blood wizards and Muggle wizards, who make up the majority of the wizarding world, are increasingly dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic, believing that they are condoning Voldemort and the Death Eaters, so they frequently protest and express their dissatisfaction.

If there were casualties during the giant attack on Hogsmeade, the Ministry of Magic would be flooded with protest letters from the public.

Fortunately, this time the situation was handled properly, no one was killed, only people were injured, and they were all relatively easy to treat. For him, it was really good news.

…

"Are you the student who subdued the three giants?" Creed looked at Xiang Nan affectionately and said, "What's your name?"

"Severus Snape." Xiang Nan said.

"You did a great job, thank you for your efforts, you are simply a hero." Creed smiled and praised, "I will apply to the Ministry to reward you."

"You're welcome, sir, I didn't do this for a reward." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"What a good kid." Creed praised again.

"Okay, Creed, praise this kid later." Dumbledore waved his hand, "Take these giants away first, they came very suddenly, and there may be a conspiracy in the middle."

"You're right." Creed nodded.

This matter must be investigated carefully, otherwise, the public will not let the Ministry of Magic go.

After all, this is Hogsmeade Village, and it is weekend, and students come here to relax. This should be the safest place, but three giants appeared to smash and loot.

If no explanation is given, the parents alone will blame the Ministry of Magic, so Creed has to pay attention to this matter.

Dumbledore then ordered the student union president and the prefect to take the students back to school, including Xiang Nan and others.

On the way back, everyone was still discussing this matter, and they all praised Xiang Nan, who should fight against three giants, and admired him.

Not to mention that Xiang Nan is only a third-year student, even an adult wizard would find it difficult to deal with a giant. Otherwise, Gifford Alldon would not have been on the Chocolate Frog picture.

But Xiang Nan subdued three giants by himself, which was really amazing.

Xiang Nan himself didn't think there was anything wrong.

Giants are nothing more than stronger, stronger, and more resistant to magic, but in fact they also have many shortcomings. For example, they are dull-witted, slow-moving, uncooperative, and have no rules...

These guys who only use brute force, Xiang Nan can take care of them with martial arts. After all, no matter how hard their skin is, it is not as hard as steel, and a heart-breaking palm can kill them.

The only pity is that there are too many people today, otherwise Xiang Nan would quietly take them back to Hogwarts and lock them up.

Giants have such high magic resistance, they must be stronger than Fenrir, just right to use them to gain spellcasting experience.

…

The next day, the Daily Prophet reported the news that three giants attacked Hogsmeade Village, but did not say that Xiang Nan subdued the three giants.

Instead, it praised Deputy Minister Creed Hemsworth and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, as if they arrived in time and subdued the three giants.

"Too despicable, not even mentioning you. Anyone who reads this article will think that the giants were subdued by the Ministry of Magic." Lily said angrily after reading the report.

"Yes, it was obviously after you subdued the giants that the Ministry of Magic arrived. They are so shameless that they took all the credit from you." Gregory spoke up for Xiang Nan.

There are also many people who know the inside story, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan was also dissatisfied. He didn't mind the Ministry of Magic taking away his reputation, but at least they should give him some other rewards to make up for it, such as a thousand gold Galleons or the Order of Merlin.

But they didn't give him anything and just took away the credit. It was too despicable.

"No wonder the Ministry of Magic is so hated. Whether it's Voldemort, conservatives or reformists, they all want to overthrow it. It's too irresponsible." Xiang Nan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
