Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 299 The Ministry of Magic's Methods
If you were to ask who contributed the most to handling the unicorn incident.

Moon would rightfully think it was the Thestral that carried Hagrid.

It takes about ten minutes to fly from Hogwarts Castle to Hogsmeade.

But the Thestral flew for an entire hour.

And in the middle, every two or three minutes.

Hagrid had to take food out of his coat pocket to feed the Thestrals.

After the other party finishes eating, you should pat its neck and try to comfort it.

Moon saw this scene.

Not only was I curious about the Thestrals' ability to bear, but I was even more curious about how much Hagrid could fit in his coat pockets.

On the way here, Hagrid had already taken out more than twenty pieces of fresh steak.

All of them are blood-streaked.

As soon as it landed on the road to Hogsmeade, the Thestral collapsed to the ground, motionless.

White air was coming out of his nose and his tongue was hanging out of his mouth.

Hagrid stroked the Thestral's head with heartache, and kept saying sorry.

"Where's Dumbledore? Why isn't he here?"

Professor McGonagall had already walked over anxiously.

After looking around and not seeing Dumbledore, her face suddenly turned ugly.

"Professor, I'm so sorry, the principal is not in the office."

Hearing McGonagall's voice, Hagrid immediately stood up and rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

Hagrid even lowered his voice deliberately so that the people in the Ministry of Magic wouldn't hear.

But he has a loud voice.

Umbridge had also come over at this time.

"Dumbledore is not here? It seems we can only follow the Ministry of Magic's plan."

Umbridge said, a triumphant smile on her face.

Only then did Moon notice the Minister of Magic, who was walking towards him in pink.

The reason why he was able to judge that the other party was the Deputy Minister of Magic.

This is because there is a purple-red horseshoe mark right between the witch's eyebrows.

At first glance, he looks like a clown from the Muggle world.

"The more critical the moment, the less people there are. He must be in school!"

Professor McGonagall's face turned livid.

Especially after seeing Umbridge's smug smile, her tone became even more unfriendly.

"We have just said that Deputy Minister Umbridge, Master Newt will definitely come, and it is not yet the time we agreed on."

Sprout came out at this time.

She knew that she must not panic at this time.

Even if Dumbledore didn't come, they had to find a way to protect these unicorns.

"Professor Sprout, I would also like to agree to your proposal."

Umbridge raised her round chin as she spoke, her eyes almost squeezed into a line.

"But Dumbledore isn't here, and we can't just let the unicorns keep destroying the property of the wizards in Hogsmeade."

"The best way is to use potions to knock these beasts unconscious, and then have the Aurors send them to the Hebrides."

"Potions can make you faint! No, that won't do!"

Hagrid stepped forward immediately.

He has been taking care of this group of unicorns for decades, and the relationship between them is very deep.

Naturally, I can't bear to see these little guys suffer so much.

"Although Dumbledore didn't come, but...but...but I also found other people."

Hagrid panicked and pointed at the two little wizards who came with him.

Umbridge automatically ignored Moon.

He looked at Hermione who was standing next to him and laughing with her hands covering her mouth.

She knew very well that the little witch was laughing at the horseshoe mark on her face.

Umbridge tightened her grip on her wand again.

He forced a cold smile and looked up at Hagrid.

"Rubeau Hagrid, Professor McGonagall tested it yesterday, and the little witch couldn't calm the unicorn down, and this one."

Umbridge pointed her wand at Hermione and snorted contemptuously.

"Hmph! She should be a freshman. Are you sure she can do it?"

Seeing Umbridge's attitude.

Hermione's face flushed red.

Whether she was the Minister of Magic or not, Hermione hated her tone and the way she spoke.

"How do you know if I can do it before you try?"

Facing an older witch, Hermione didn't even use the so-called honorifics.

His reckless character like a little lion is clearly revealed.

Umbridge was stunned when she heard this.

She dropped her sneer and looked at Hermione with contempt.

"Well, I wouldn't mind ordering the Aurors to clear the way so you can go in and try it."

Umbridge said, stepping closer to Hermione.

Moon subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of her.

"Heh, but please remember that if any casualties occur, our Ministry of Magic will not be responsible."

Umbridge said, glaring at Hermione coldly, and then ordered the Aurors to open a road to the blocked area.

I noticed the concerned looks from the professor and classmates beside me.

Hermione gripped her wand and stepped forward resolutely.

Professor McGonagall sighed helplessly and followed immediately.

Although she didn't think Hermione could actually soothe a unicorn.

But as the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts, she has the responsibility to protect her students from harm.

And now, Mag has no other choice.

"Is it indeed possible Miss Granger?"

Sprout's eyes were filled with worry.

Yesterday, she and McGonagall led seven or eight senior witches who had taken the Care of Magical Creatures class, but they were unable to successfully approach the group of unicorns.

Now there was a little witch who was less than a year old, which made her feel even more uncertain.

"I don't know, but it's true that unicorns prefer to get in touch with younger girls." Hagrid was a little unsure for a moment.

But looking at Moon who was still standing next to him, he felt a little more at ease.

After Umbridge returned to the Ministry of Magic, she immediately arranged for someone to go to Diagon Alley to buy potions.

In her opinion, the professors at Hogwarts were nothing but a waste of time.

She will inevitably move this group of unicorns to a colder place with more difficult living conditions.

Once the unicorns migrated to the islands, she would not send anyone from the Ministry of Magic to guard them.

In this way, naturally there will be countless dark wizards going to poach her and help her take revenge.

Hagrid wasn't sure Hermione could pull it off either.

When Professor McGonagall accompanied Hermione into Honeydukes Candy Shop.

He immediately explained the current situation to Moon.

Twenty-seven unicorns escaped from the Forbidden Forest.

Perhaps he sensed that the source of danger was within Hogwarts Castle.

Frightened, they all ran in the opposite direction of the castle.

At first they only stayed in Hogsmeade.

Enjoy some sweets and wine served by the wizard.

This wasn't a big problem.

Even some distant wizards heard that a unicorn appeared in Hogsmeade.

They all rushed here, wanting to have a close contact with this magical creature.

But later, as the scope of unicorn activities became larger and larger.

Even after running to the Muggle village, the Ministry of Magic got the news.

Memory cancellation agents were sent to erase the memories of the Muggles.

After hearing the news, Hagrid drove the unicorn back to the Forbidden Forest.

Because of Dumbledore's reputation, the Ministry of Magic did not interfere too much in this matter.

But I don't know why.

Since the day before yesterday, the unicorn herd has gone completely crazy.

Not only did they ignore Hagrid's advice, they ran to Muggle residences and destroyed the crops there.

He even wreaked havoc in Hogsmeade.

Because all the wizards living nearby know that these unicorns are the property of Hogwarts.

They didn't dare to hurt the unicorn.

This makes the damage caused by unicorns increasingly greater.

The worst hit are Honeydukes and the Three Broomsticks.

Later, the Ministry of Magic received a request from the wizards of Hogsmeade.

A large number of Aurors arrived and finally surrounded all the unicorns near the Forbidden Forest.

It was just that because the Aurors' methods were quite violent, the unicorns were frightened and began to counterattack fiercely.

Then the village of Hogsmeade was struck again.

That is when the unicorns and the Ministry of Magic personnel came into conflict.

Umbridge and the three Aurors were all kicked hard by the unicorn leader.

Perhaps he saw that Umbridge's status was extraordinary.

She was kicked in the face, while the other Aurors were kicked in the stomach.

"What about those wizards wearing black clothes and black hats, hiding at the edge? They shouldn't be from the Ministry of Magic or Hogsmeade, right?"

As soon as Moon got off the broom, he noticed the group of people gathered at the farthest point.

They are not like other wizards.

Either wearing wizard robes or Muggle suits.

These people were all covered in black linen, and most of them had their faces covered, so their appearance could not be seen at all.

Only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed.

Like a vulture stalking its prey, ready to strike at any moment.

"Oh, don't look at them. They are all notorious dark wizards. They are here just to make some money."

Hagrid followed Moon's gaze and immediately showed an expression of disgust on his face.

"How can we benefit from this? Aren't there Aurors from the Ministry of Magic here?"

Hearing Moon's words, Hagrid's face became a little embarrassed.

"Actually, the relationships here are quite complicated, and Aurors don't handle everything."

Moon is not very clear about the structure of the Ministry of Magic now.

But think about it, there is a Knockturn Alley inside Diagon Alley.

It can be seen that the British wizarding world is not black and white.

This reminded Moon of the Vena Islands in another world.

The spellcaster did not bring all wizards under his rule, so many dark wizards were born on the archipelago.

Later, many ordinary people suffered.

However, in the British world, wizards are strictly prohibited from showing magic in front of ordinary people.

That's why there was no large-scale persecution of Muggles.

"Okay, so what good can these dark wizards gain here?"

Moon still couldn't figure it out.

"Besides, killing a unicorn will bring you a curse!"

After being cursed, Moon went to the Hogwarts library and read a large number of related books.

He now knows it very well.

The curse that kills unicorns is considered the most serious one in this world.

And this curse will accompany the poacher throughout his life.

It can only exist in a weak and inhuman state.

The soul will also become more broken and evil.

Most importantly, there is no solution to this curse.

"They wouldn't come here to hunt unicorns openly. Both the horns and the tail hair are very valuable."

"And these dark wizards won't do it themselves. They'll even use dark magic to manipulate others into hunting unicorns so they won't be cursed themselves."

After listening to Hagrid, Moon suddenly understood.

Compared to the poaching methods of this group of dark wizards, Moon's method of obtaining materials is still too immature.
