Chapter 1293 Rescue Muggle students
On the second floor of Hogwarts, the door of the temporary conference room was suddenly pushed open, and the four deans met at the school more than a month before the start of school.
Professor McGonagall, headed by her, has a particularly serious expression. Anyone who knows Professor McGonagall knows that she is in a very bad mood now.
"I just got a letter from the school board."
A letter was casually thrown on the conference table by Professor McGonagall, like it was just a piece of useless waste paper.
"About the new principal?"
The room suddenly fell into a strange dead silence. Ever since Voldemort completely controlled the Ministry of Magic, they had expected this day to come.
"Who did they call?"
Professor Sprout was the first to break the silence, and looked at the letter uneasily, but finally didn't reach out to read it.
"Severus Snape?" Flitwick looked at the letter and asked tentatively. He had heard from Albert that Snape would be the new Headmaster.
"Severus, we should have thought of that."
Professor Slughorn picked up the letter, opened it, read the contents quickly, and sighed softly.
If it is said who among the Death Eaters is the most suitable for this role, Snape is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He has served at Hogwarts for many years and knows everything here, which can ensure Voldemort's control over this ancient school.
"Those cowards have compromised!" Professor McGonagall said in disgust.
"There's nothing you can do about it, Minerva." Professor Slughorn comforted softly, "No one dares to defy the mysterious man now, I think..."
"If it wasn't for those children, I would have resigned and left Hogwarts long ago."
Professor Sprout is very pessimistic. She really can't imagine what a terrible scene Hogwarts will be under the control of mysterious people.
"So do we, Pomona."
Professor McGonagall raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet first, and then directly talked about the main reason for calling everyone here today: "You should have noticed that the Muggle Birth Rank Committee established by the Ministry of Magic a while ago."
"That's the ugliest face I've ever seen."
"Are you worried about..."
"If the mysterious man controls Hogwarts, what will happen to the children born in Muggle families? Will Snape agree to allow them to continue to return to Hogwarts to study, or will they be expelled directly?" Professor McGonagall took out A newspaper from a few days ago was placed on the table, "Even if those children are allowed to return to Hogwarts to study, I still worry about their safety."
"Honestly, I never thought the Death Eaters would show mercy to them just because they were kids."
The conference room fell into a dead silence again, and Professor McGonagall spoke out what worried all the professors.
How to deal with those students born in Muggle families? Once they return to Hogwarts, will they be sent directly to Azkaban by Death Eaters.
Nowadays, many Muggle-born wizards have been tried by the Muggle Birth Class Committee. After being accused of ridiculous crimes, they are directly thrown into Azkaban to accompany the dementors. Once those poor children are thrown into Azka Ben, God knows how many survived.
"But what can we do, should we tell them to hide?" It's not that Professor Slughorn is unwilling to help those poor children, but he has nothing to do.
Although the Muggle wizards who study at Hogwarts do not account for the majority, there are still quite a few (about a quarter). Even if you send them letters to remind them to pay attention to safety, it is useless. For underage wizards With the heddle on, once you use magic outside the school, you will be immediately tracked, and you can imagine the fate.
"I don't recommend gambling on low-probability events. It's best not to pin your hopes on the kindness of the Death Eaters. They don't have that kind of thing." Professor Flitwick said suddenly, "Otherwise, the scene at the British Ministry of Magic may happen again. Repeat. What do you think would happen if someone from the Ministry of Magic came and invited them to interview the Muggle-Born Registration Board?"
A longer silence.
This kind of thing is really possible, especially when the person in charge of the Muggle-born registration committee is Umbridge, who they hate the most. He has worked with Umbridge for a year, and everyone knows what she is.
They shouldn't take any chances.
"Maybe, we should let them stay at home." Professor Slughorn tentatively suggested: "Instead of coming to Hogwarts to study, as long as they stay away from the wizarding world..."
"That's not safe either. More and more Muggle-born wizards have been imprisoned in Azkaban." Professor McGonagall interrupted. Muggle-born students at Watts' school? I don't think they'll give up that easily, though I'm already planning to burn that thing."
"In fact, it is not difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find out where those children live, and their families will all face disaster."
"Maybe, we can hide those children, I mean centralized protection, and use that...I remember the one that the Potters used...the Charm of Loyalty?" Professor Sprout thinks this may be the best way at present up.
"As for the food problem, we can send some house elves to help."
"We don't have a suitable place to accommodate those children, and it is not easy to manage those children, and more importantly, are they willing to accept protection?" Slughorn felt that his colleagues must be crazy.
No way, this plan is really ridiculous.
Leaving the comfortable environment of Hogwarts, what should they do to take care of those children?
"Why don't we ask the opinions of professionals?" Professor Flitwick said suddenly.
"professional?"
Everyone cast puzzled eyes.
"I'm talking about Albert," reminded Professor Flitwick, "he anticipated all of this a long time ago, and published a "Guide to Self-Defense" for Muggle-born wizards. There will be other thoughts on this matter."
Instead of the four of them racking their brains to find a temporary solution, they might as well go to Albert directly. With the smart brain of the other party, they might have already thought of a solution to the problem.
"Anderson seems to be hiding," Slughorn muttered. "Do you know how to contact him?"
"Who has a double-sided mirror that can contact Albert?" Professor McGonagall asked suddenly.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Albert's friend should have an emergency contact." Professor Flitwick reminded, "Brother Weasley, or someone else?"
"You're right, maybe Hagrid has them too."
Professor McGonagall waved his wand and asked his patron saint to deliver a message to Hagrid.
After a while, Hagrid hurried over.
His huge body squeezed into the room, stretched out his hands and scratched his head in doubt and asked, "What double-sided mirror?"
"Did Albert not leave you a way to contact him?" Professor McGonagall asked directly.
Hagrid obviously sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the scene, and asked suspiciously, "No...that, what's wrong?"
"We just received news from the school board that Severus Snape has been appointed as the new headmaster of Hogwarts. Hagrid, maybe you should leave the school for a while." Professor McGonagall summoned the guardian again God sent a message to Sirius, and she knew that the Weasley brothers must have a double-sided mirror to contact Albert, and Sirius must have a way to contact the Weasley brothers.
"Snape, how dare they let the **** who murdered Dumbledore take over as Headmaster." Hagrid's angry growl echoed through the room.
"Calm down Hagrid."
"How can you tell me to calm down."
Hagrid was so angry that he wanted to avenge Dumbledore by twisting Snape's bones with his bare hands.
"Now that the Mysterious Man has taken control of the Ministry of Magic, it is not surprising that the Hogwarts school managers chose to compromise." Slughorn reminded, "We are discussing a more important matter now."
"You-Know-Who and Death Eaters are capturing Muggle-born wizards. We are discussing how to help those Muggle-born students and prevent them from being sent to Azkaban Prison." Professor McGonagall looked at Hagrid. , if they were going to hide those Muggle wizards, they needed someone to look after them, and Hagrid was obviously a good choice.
