Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

The photographer also recorded this scene.

Then they were led by hurried reporters and rushed out of Hogwarts. They had to release this news that would shock the entire wizarding world in a timely manner.

As everyone was taking action, an owl flew silently out of the principal's office and headed towards London.

Hogwarts Great Hall.

The students who had finished their morning exams gathered together and reviewed the items they would prepare for the afternoon exam while eating.

The fifth and seventh grade students who looked relaxed yesterday were indeed acting out of character at noon today.

The seventh graders performed well. Although their faces looked heavy, they were generally relaxed.

But the fifth grade students couldn't help themselves.

It was a rare occasion that Gryffindor and Slytherin cursed the same target in unison for the first time.

"demon!"

"Those people in the Examination Authority have become corrupt!"

“No two exams are the same!”

"The questions are randomly drawn, and the test papers are all shuffled and temporarily generated."

“The papers will be graded on the spot!”

"I feel like the Patronus Charm I've practiced for so long can no longer add any points to my skills?"

The other grades looked at each other.

"What happened to them?"

"I heard that the people from the Examination Administration have requisitioned the escape room as the new testing site this time."

The fourth graders looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this just a change for this year, or will all exams be conducted this way from now on?"

"I heard that this method will be used in the future."

"But we in the lower grades are not eligible to participate in that game?"

"Isn't that unfair to the OWL exam?"

Hermione and Harry looked around in confusion.

"Why are half the people missing from the dinner today?"

"Didn't Ron and the others go to a lecture? I don't know who's giving the lecture today, and it hasn't ended yet."

Ministry of Magic, London.

At lunchtime, the Ministry of Magic's dining room was filled with the aroma of roasting meat and pumpkin pie.

The Minister of Magic was holding a cup of hot black tea and chatting with several department heads.

At this moment, an owl suddenly swooped down and dropped a letter with the Hogwarts school emblem accurately next to Fudge's dining table.

Fudge picked up the envelope and said to the supervisors with a smile:

"It seems Mr. Dumbledore and I have something important to discuss. You can enjoy your lunch first. I have to go deal with Dumbledore's business first."

The other department heads knew Fudge and often wrote to Dumbledore asking for his opinion, but he had no other reaction to this.

Fudge said and turned towards the Minister's office.

But after turning around, his expression did not look so relaxed, because he had not taken the initiative to write to Dumbledore to ask for his opinion recently, but he suddenly sent him a letter during lunch time. Things must be complicated.

Chapter 339 Dumbledore's Letter

Dear Connelly,

I hope this letter can bring you an unexpected "surprise" in your busy official duties.

Perhaps you will soon receive a message from the Daily Prophet that today at Hogwarts, Mr. Remus Lupin (the werewolf working at Hogwarts whom we mentioned earlier) revealed his werewolf identity in front of some students and reporters from the Daily Prophet.

I understand that you may be shocked or even angry when you hear this news, but don't be shocked or angry yet.

Remus has always been a highly respected member of Hogwarts, and I believe you are aware of his kindness, wisdom and courage.

He made this decision not on impulse but after careful consideration. He hoped to use this opportunity to break the long-standing prejudice and fear of werewolves and let everyone see that werewolves can also be excellent wizards and make contributions to the magical world.

You and I both know that the Werewolf Support Services Division is far from satisfactory in this regard...]

(PS: The Werewolf Support Service was once a sub-division of the Abnormal Office within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures within the British Ministry of Magic. Although werewolves are classified as wild beasts, they are no different from ordinary humans when they are not transformed. The original intention of establishing this department was to provide assistance to people who became werewolves due to accidents. However, due to the widespread discrimination faced by werewolves in the wizarding world, no werewolves ever came here to identify themselves and receive assistance, so the department was later closed.)

Seeing this, Fudge couldn't control his emotions for a moment. He crumpled the parchment in his hand into a ball and smashed it hard against the office door.

Then he slammed the desk hard.

"How can this be! I am the Minister of Magic. You don't need to know what the Ministry of Magic is like... Dumbledore, what on earth do you want to do..."

"And let me not be angry yet...haha...I'm surprised..."

"What on earth is going on? What on earth is Dumbledore planning?"

Fudge felt that he had been tricked by Dumbledore. They had previously agreed that for the sake of stability at Hogwarts and the wizarding world, they would keep Lupin's identity strictly confidential, and Dumbledore had guaranteed that he would not hurt anyone.

Originally he didn't want to agree, and even wanted to use this to undermine Dumbledore's prestige, but Sirius Black, the heir of the Black family, came forward and asked for the Black family's face (definitely not because of the sponsorship fee).

Now he suddenly made this matter public, turning from passive to active...

Fudge growled under his breath and paced back and forth in his office.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a conspiracy of Dumbledore, perhaps wanting to use this opportunity to put him in crisis and force him to step down.

Thinking of this, Fudge drank a cup of black tea and quickly calmed himself down.

He picked up the crumpled parchment and smoothed it out while sitting at his desk.

"I wonder what else you, an old fool, can say?"

What's even more exciting is that Professor Douglas Holmes has successfully improved the wolfsbane potion, which can eliminate the toxins in werewolves after long-term use. This is an unprecedented breakthrough.

He not only changed Remus's fate, but also brought new hope to the entire wizarding world.

Fudge's hands couldn't help but tremble at the sight of this.

I am fully aware of your significant responsibility for the stability and security of the wizarding community, so I sincerely hope you can come to Hogwarts tonight under the full moon to witness this historic moment. This is not only a show of support for Remus, but also an investment in the future of the wizarding world.

I assure you that we have made sufficient preparations to ensure that everything is under control. The professors at Hogwarts will monitor the situation closely and ensure that no student is harmed.

We look forward to your arrival, let us witness together this moment that may change the wizarding world.

I hope I didn't disturb your wonderful lunch.

Your friend Albus.]

"Douglas Holmes, the banana-loving, flat-headed guy, a novelist who doesn't write well, who's been out of writing for so long, actually went off to research some wolfsbane potion."

He always had doubts about the effectiveness of the improved wolfsbane potion, especially one improved by a writer. After all, he was in his prime, not the old and confused Dumbledore.

Fudge always felt that there was some conspiracy here.

"Are you trying to take this opportunity to let the werewolf bite you and force you to step down?"

But Fudge had to go this time. Since so many students already knew about it, it meant that the parents of the students who came later would also know about it. Even if he forbade the Daily Prophet to report on it, he would still have to deal with the matter himself in the end.

Soon several paper planes flew out of the minister's office.

Not long after, Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Rufus Scrimgeour, Head of the Auror Office, and the Head of the Werewolf Capture Unit of the Beast Office under the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures arrived at the office.

Fudge sat behind his desk, his face gloomy, looking at the people in front of him.

The three of them looked at Fudge's ugly face and knew in their hearts that something big must have happened.

Fudge handed Dumbledore's letter to Director Amelia Bones.

Then to Rufus Scrimgeour:

"Look at this, Remus Lupin, that werewolf, actually broke our agreement and revealed his werewolf identity to some students and the Daily Prophet reporter at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore also said that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Sherlock Holmes, had improved the wolfsbane potion, saying it could eliminate werewolf poison, and asked me to go and witness it tonight. This is a complete mess!

Director Amelia Bones has always been known for her fairness and honesty. She is a broad-shouldered, square-jawed witch who cuts her gray hair short, full of competence.

She was reading the letter when she heard Fudge and Scrimgeour directly say that Lupin was a werewolf.

He raised his head and adjusted his monocle, a formidable expression on his face, and asked doubtfully:

"You knew Remus Lupin was a werewolf before? Why did you allow him to continue working at Hogwarts?"

Fudge continued without blushing:

"Oh, Amelia, I forgot to tell you that when we captured the wanted criminal Peter Perum last time, we found out that Lupin had always been a werewolf.

However, considering that he provided evidence and helped to capture Peter Pellum, and Dumbledore strongly begged me to keep his identity secret, he said he could guarantee that he would not harm the students of Hogwarts.

That's why I agreed to Dumbledore's request and didn't reveal his werewolf identity to the public for the time being. In fact, he has been under our surveillance all the time."

Scrimgeour frowned slightly. Is that so? Hadn't that damned politician negotiated compensation with the Black heir, the Black who had escaped from Azkaban? When had Dumbledore ever begged for it?

Amelia Bones raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't know how much truth there was in Fudge's words, but now was not the time to pursue that.

She was puzzled as to why Dumbledore suddenly announced a werewolf that had existed for a long time, not to mention that he had just invited her some time ago to go to Hogwarts the next morning to educate students on the legal knowledge of the wizarding world.

Is there any connection between the two?

Chapter 340 Fudge: I am the Minister of Magic

Bones frowned and looked at the letter in his hand.

"Cornelly, Remus Lupin's public disclosure of his werewolf identity could indeed cause some social problems. Wizards have long been afraid of werewolves, not to mention his appearance at Hogwarts. If the news gets out, it's likely to cause panic."

Fudge waved his hand impatiently and said:

"It's impossible to intercept the news now. Whether it's the Daily Prophet or those students, they will quickly spread the news throughout the entire wizarding world."

Bones glanced at the letter again and said:

"I mean, if this potion is really effective, it might change the way we deal with werewolves... Although I have never dealt with Professor Holmes, I trust Albus's judgment..."

Fudge's tone seemed somewhat helpless:

"Amelia, Albus is over a hundred years old. He's been at Hogwarts for too long. I think he's getting a little senile."

Scrimgeour snorted with disdain:

"Hmph! I know that Holmes. Maybe he's quite good at Defense Against the Dark Arts, but as far as I know, even though he got an O in OWL Potions, he's never taken an advanced Potions course. How could a novelist improve the master-level Wolfsbane Potion?"

The last time he captured Wormtail, Scrimgeour suffered a loss at the hands of Douglas and had privately inquired about his deeds.

Thinking that if Dumbledore and the others had not known Peter's information long ago, but had kept it for the students to practice, and finally let Peter slip away from their Aurors, Scrimgeour could not help but adjust his gold-rimmed glasses and said bluntly:

"Who knows if this is another one of Dumbledore's schemes? He always likes to make these sudden moves to put us Aurors and the Ministry of Magic in an awkward position. Maybe this so-called potion doesn't exist at all, and it's just to embarrass us."

The leader of the werewolf capture project team looked at the three bosses and rubbed his hands nervously.

"Minister, no matter what, our werewolf capture team is ready to act at any time and will resolutely follow your steps. If Lupin loses control, we will definitely be able to quickly control the situation..."

Fudge rubbed his forehead irritably:

"Now is not the time to argue, Bones. You must draft a statement immediately. If things get out of control tonight, we must release the news to the public immediately to reassure people and emphasize that the Ministry of Magic will definitely guarantee everyone's safety.

Then notify the other members of the Wizengamot except Albus and ask them to be on standby at all times. If the situation gets out of control tonight, we will bring Lupin and the relevant personnel for trial overnight."

Amelia Bones nodded. "Okay, Minister. I'll explain our legal stance on this matter and try to minimize panic. But I still suggest confirming the authenticity of the potion first."

Fudge then looked at Rufus Scrimgeour:

"Rufus, select your most elite Aurors and have them accompany me to Hogwarts tonight. If you discover any dangerous behavior from Lupin, take immediate action to ensure the safety of others present, especially the students. At the same time, arrest Lupin's accomplice, Douglas Holmes, and... Albus Dumbledore. Don't worry, he's over a hundred years old."

Rufus and Amelia didn't think much of Fudge's arrangement. After all, Dumbledore only had two people, and they had the Ministry of Magic's most elite wizards. Everyone rushed forward...

Rufus Scrimgeour raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said confidently:

"Don't worry, Minister. My Aurors are already waiting to show their skills. If this is really a trap, whether it's Albus or Holmes, we will definitely catch them."

Aurors never fight alone; they have their own expertise in dealing with evil wizards.

Scrimgeour thought that perhaps he was slightly inferior to Douglas in a one-on-one fight, but when facing a professional team, the opponent would definitely have no resistance.

Seeing the werewolf capture team leader looking at him expectantly, Fudge said calmly:
