Mafalda Hopkirk has been working for the Ministry of Magic since graduating from Hogwarts, and now serves as an assistant to the director of the Ministry of Magic’s Office of Prohibition of Abuse of Magic.
Hopkirk’s usual job is to send a warning letter to the offender on behalf of the director after receiving the illegal information, stating the violation of the law. If the situation is serious, he needs to notify the emergency team to take action.
However, just today, Hopkirk encountered something that made her extremely depressed.
Someone actually wrote back to tell her: Your Ministry of Magic has made an Oolong incident.
The sender is called Albert Anderson, and he is studying at Hogwarts.
In the letter, Anderson clearly pointed out that he was on vacation in France with his family, and did not carry a magic wand when leaving the country, let alone use a flying curse. The Ministry of Magic must have made a mistake. He hoped that the Ministry of Magic could resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties. And wrote him back.
In fact, Hopkirk does not think that Anderson is lying, because the most favorable evidence is that Anderson will not use the Flying Curse at all, and the other party has just finished first grade at Hogwarts.
Will first-year freshmen use Feilai Charm?
Even Hopkirk didn't believe it.
If you don't use the flying curse, it is naturally impossible to cast spells.
Therefore, the prohibition of the abuse of the Magic Office is undoubtedly a mistake, and this is not the first time, and Hopkirk is not too surprised.
But...what does this matter have to do with me?
Hopkirk is only responsible for sending letters and notices. She is not responsible for dealing with issues in this area, nor does she have such rights.
Oh, no, it really has something to do with her.
Hopkirk has the right to decide whether to give this letter to the director of the Office for Prohibition of Abuse of Magic, or to throw the letter directly into a trash can.
Based on her understanding of her boss, the other party would probably not care about such things!
After all, this is just a trivial matter, there is no need to go into it too deeply.
When Mafalda Hopkirk prepares to deal with it in private.
Well, the so-called private processing is actually destroying the letter or throwing it into a trash can. After all, she herself is just an assistant.
Although I have some understanding of the laws that impose reasonable restrictions on underage wizards, he is only an assistant after all, and his duty is to help write warning letters and other tasks.
When Hopkirk was about to throw the letter into the trash can, she suddenly remembered something from last year. She still remembered the Oolong incident caused by Zongsi, which was quite a big deal at the time.
In the end, it was exposed by the Daily Prophet, and Natley, who was in charge of handling this matter, caused himself a lot of trouble and was almost transferred to the Ma Ren Liaison Office.
"It doesn't seem good to throw it away, let's hand it over to the director!" Hopkirk hesitated, still thinking that it was her duty. As for how her boss would handle it, it didn't matter to her.
Of course, Hopkirk can also guess what will happen after this letter is sent.
As Hopkirk had expected, his boss didn't even glance at the letter at the end of his eyes, and threw it at the desk.
When Hopkirk saw the letter again, it had been thrown into the trash can.
However, something that Hopkirk did not know, such a result was also expected by Albert.
It's just that Hopkirk didn't even know. They didn't know when they had already stood in front of the big pit dug by others. Just behind them, someone was ready to lift a foot and kick them into the pit.
...
After returning home, Albert began to write replies to the people he sent.
The Weasley brothers naturally also received Albert's mailing list, along with the gift Albert bought for the twins-a rubber duck.
Well, the yellow rubber duck is actually a gift that Albert bought in a grocery store near his home. Of course he knew that Fred and George would not like this gift, because it was for Mr. Weasley.
Albert wanted the twins to ask Mr. Weasley how to deal with his situation.
Fred and George expressed sympathy (gloating) for Albert's experience in their reply, and wrote in their reply:
... Dad thinks this is just a small matter, so you don't have to worry about it. He suggested that you should write a letter to the director of the Office of Prohibition of Abuse of Magic and explain this to him clearly...
At the end of the letter, they also wrote: "By the way, Dad asked me to ask you what the rubber duck does in the Muggle world."
"Small things?" Albert muttered, "That's right, it's really a trivial thing for those who have nothing to do with them."
Albert put the twins' letter aside and continued to open the second letter.
Professor Browd's reply was a bit unexpected by Albert. He also thought it was just a small matter, so that Albert did not have to worry about this issue.
In the reply of Professor Browd, he told some information about the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and also expressed his love for the gift Albert gave him, and at the end he briefly mentioned McDoug's new book.
"Small things?" Albert put the letter aside, picked up the gold card and muttered, "Now let’s see Hertok Duggworth’s reaction. See if he also thinks that his gold card is lost, Is it also a small matter?"
From the letter of Professor Broad, it is not difficult for Albert to speculate on the value of the gold card in his hand.
He believed that Hertok Duggworth would not remain indifferent.
...
...
There are several letters, and it is impossible to reply immediately.
The last letter was written by Rowena Smith. In addition to discussing some common interests, Rowena Smith also mentioned in the letter that it will give Albert an unexpected surprise in a while.
For the so-called unexpected surprise, Albert can probably guess what it is: Rowena Smith is going to Hogwarts as a professor of defense against the dark arts.
After reading all the letters, Albert put the letters into the box, got up and stretched, drank the cold milk tea, touched Tom lying on the cushion beside the table, and focused again on The remaining summer homework.
This is the remaining homework before Albert went to France on vacation, because he did not have the habit of doing homework while on vacation, so he temporarily put down his summer homework when he went to France on holiday.
On vacation in France, Albert brought only the few books on ancient magic texts that McDoug gave him.
As long as you study these books carefully, your experience of magic writing skills will increase at a gratifying rate.
Now, it is a big step closer to the level 3 magic text.
It's not that Albert doesn't like to use experience to upgrade directly, but he prefers the feeling of studying magic.
Every time a slight breakthrough in the magic text, Albert will feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, and this kind of achievement is what Albert wants.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Niya opened the door and poked her head in, and said to Albert who was sitting at the table: "Dad asked me to tell you, go to bed early today and we will go shopping in Diagon Alley tomorrow."
"Got it." Albert knew why Nia was so excited, because she would also go to Diagon Alley in London with her.
"Tom, it's time to go to bed!" Niya reached out and picked Tom, who was lying on the soft cushion, and put it on the floor. "Go by yourself, you have become so heavy, I can't hold you anymore."
"That's why I said Tom should lose weight." Albert said with a smile, "Go back and rest early."
"Leave Tom~www.mtlnovel.com~ Otherwise, tomorrow's ration will be halved." Niya's threat was quite effective. Tom obediently got up, followed Niya and left.
Albert looked at the closed door and focused on his homework.
These vacation assignments are actually not that difficult, just take time to write the answers on parchment paper.
He is considering whether to stay up all night to solve all the vacation homework at once? Finally, remembering Niya's expectation of going shopping in Diagon Alley tomorrow, she gave up.
After half an hour, Albert closed the ink bottle, put the quill pen back into the pen holder, got up and yawned lazily.
Shera has just returned from searching for food, and since Albert told him that he is not allowed to take prey home, she has never taken a dead mouse home.
"Good night!" Albert looked at his owl, then looked at the night sky outside the window, covered a yawn, and lay back on the bed to rest.
