Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 107: Ministry of Magic Intervention (Part )
Mike slept soundly, and when he woke up it was already noon the next day.

As soon as he got up, he found that the leftovers beside his pillow had been replaced with brand new fish and chips. He grabbed a chip and put it in his mouth, and it was still hot.

This surprised Mike a little. You know, because the kitchen was closed these days, they had been eating bread and other dry food. Although fish and chips were not considered a delicacy, it was an upgrade in their meals.

What's going on? Is the kitchen open again?

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that all the management team members who were originally responsible for protecting the safety of the students in the auditorium have been replaced by Aurors in uniform.

"Is it so fast?" Mike thought to himself.

Judging from the situation, the security of Hogwarts has clearly been taken over by the Aurors. Although Mike already knew that the Ministry of Magic would take compulsory measures against Hogwarts soon after a fatal accident occurred, he did not expect that the British Ministry of Magic would react so quickly. It seems that the Ministry of Magic is not as corrupt as the outside world says.

After finishing his late breakfast, Mike got up and went to Flitwick's temporary office. He needed to know more information.

Because of the basilisk, the professors' offices were moved to the next door to the auditorium. When Michael knocked on the door and entered, he found that Flitwick had other guests.

"Mike! We were just talking about you, come and sit down." Flitwick greeted Mike with a smile, "I don't need to introduce this person, right? Abbott Foley, an outstanding student who graduated from Ravenclaw last year and the former male student union president. And you have also met his father, Mario Foley, the deputy director of the Auror Office, whom I took you to meet last summer vacation."

Mike knew this senior from Abbott. Although he had not interacted with him much last year, his father, the enthusiastic uncle, left a deep impression on Mike. Because his name, Mario, is exactly the same as the famous plumber Uncle Mario.

Mike showed a polite smile on his face, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Abbott using the unique handshake of Raven's Nest. Immediately, the smiles on both of their faces became even brighter. The other party also used the handshake of Raven's Nest.

After a brief greeting, Professor Flitwick left the office, saying he had other things to deal with. Mike and Abbott were the only ones left in the office, and their conversation got down to business.

"Mike, I have just completed Auror training and become an Auror. This time, I received an order from the Ministry of Magic and followed our captain to Hogwarts to deal with the basilisk." Abbott said with a smile.

What Abbott said was not much different from what Mike had guessed, but there were still some things Mike didn't understand, so he asked, "Why did the Ministry of Magic react so quickly this time? Also, shouldn't the school be closed after something like this happened? Why do I see students still in the hall?"

"Let me answer your first question first. The death of three students has caused a big stir outside. Many parents of students are accusing the Ministry of Magic of inaction, including some bigwigs, so the Ministry of Magic had no choice but to send us here under pressure." Abbott said with a smile, "Then there is the issue of closing the school.

Among the Aurors we sent this time, there are many experienced and powerful senior Aurors. It can be said that what you see in Hogwarts now is the top strength of the Aurors. Even the Basilisk is vulnerable in front of them.

In addition, based on the clues provided by the two little wizards who committed suicide with Harry Potter, we can confirm that the basilisk moved through the sewers in Hogwarts.

So our captain felt that there was no need to close the school. We would be able to catch the basilisk very quickly. It would be terrible if the basilisk suddenly attacked the students while they were evacuating. We could not protect all the students, and if there were more deaths, the Ministry of Magic would be discredited. "

Mike suddenly realized what was going on and thanked Abbott. "Mike, I suggest you take part in this operation. With this merit as a foundation, it will be much easier for you to become an Auror or join other departments of the Ministry of Magic in the future. You may even get the Order of Merlin, Class 3." Abbott continued with a sincere expression, "You and I belong to the Raven's Nest together, and I will not harm you.

Don't worry about safety. You know my identity. As long as you stay with me, you will be absolutely safe."

Hearing Abbott say this, Mike immediately understood.

At first, he was still wondering why he, the son of an official, was sent to carry out such a dangerous mission. It seemed that this guy was here to get credit and gild himself. Uncle Mario sent so many senior Aurors this time not only because he wanted to get rid of the basilisk as soon as possible, but also because he wanted to protect his son Abbott.

Mike was also somewhat tempted by Abbott's suggestion. He already hated the basilisk that attacked him and Penelope. This time he could get some credit in absolute safety, so why not do it?

After thinking about it, Mike said sincerely: "Thank you Abbott, I owe you a favor."

"Look at what you said. You are my junior. If I don't help you, who else can I help?" Abbott stood up and said, "Let's talk to our captain and Dean Flitwick about this matter. I'm sure they will agree.

The two walked out of the office together. On the way, Mike learned that the temporary management team had been cancelled. All the original management team members returned to the auditorium and were protected like the lower grade students.

Not long after walking, Mike saw an office that was used as a temporary command room. It was already crowded with people. Many Aurors in uniforms and professors with combat capabilities in Hogwarts were discussing how to deal with the basilisk. Strangely, Dumbledore was not there.

"…Since we have confirmed that the basilisk is in the sewer, I suggest that we seal all the exits and inject poison gas into the pipe to kill the basilisk." said a young-looking boy.

Hearing his words, Professor Flitwick retorted: "I'm afraid not, son. The pipe system in Hogwarts is very complicated and huge, and the poison gas cannot spread at all. And the basilisk is immune to most toxins. Are you sure it can be poisoned to death?"

When the young man saw that his proposal was rejected, an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he stepped aside without saying anything.

"Then let's do as we discussed before and send people in to check according to the area divisions. For safety reasons, pierce the pipes and walls at regular intervals to leave escape routes, and don't worry about damaging the Hogwarts Castle." A middle-aged man with a dignified temperament and a scar on his face said in a deep voice.

Some Aurors at the scene became agitated upon hearing this. One of them suggested to the middle-aged man, "But Captain, our people will be in danger. Why don't we ask Dumbledore for help? If he helps, a mere basilisk will surely be no problem."

As soon as he said this, he was immediately agreed by everyone, but the middle-aged man flew into a rage and shouted, "If you ask Dumbledore for everything, then what else do you need to do? Remember your identity, you are an Auror! Do you understand? The plan has been decided, go and execute it!"
