Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 236 Tripartite Cooperation
Levi retracted his wand, a faint glow slicing through the air with his movement.

The enormous white wolf vanished in a flash of silver light as he moved, disappearing without a trace.

From the moment the white wolf appeared to the moment it devoured the Dementor and then disappeared, only a few seconds passed.

But precisely because of this, everything seemed even more sudden – before many people could even figure out what had happened, the matter was over in the blink of an eye.

Harry briefly forgot his fatigue, staring with his mouth agape in the direction the silver light had dissipated. He quickly realized something in the silence of the entire room, and abruptly turned to look at Draco Malfoy beside him, whose face was deathly pale.

He unconsciously gripped his broom tightly, his knuckles turning white, and stared at Harry hesitantly as he said:
"Was that your guardian spirit just now?"

Halfway through his sentence, he swallowed hard—seeing his horrified expression, Harry had a ridiculous thought—Malfoy at this moment actually looked quite like Ron. How to put it, he even looked a bit funny, which instantly diminished much of his usual arrogance.

Moreover, Malfoy really gave him a good time during that chase—something Malfoy would never have done last semester. It seems he's not the only one who's improved.

"Harry! What's that? Your Patronus?!"

Ron suddenly pounced on Harry from behind, excitedly hugging his neck and babbling incoherently.

"But shouldn't your guardian deity be the stag? Did Sirius make a mistake?"

Harry's mind cleared instantly—he thought of something terrible and instinctively shuddered.

At this moment, everyone on the field remained standing, their eyes fixed on him. Even from a distance, the exclamations and discussions could be heard in a barely coordinated wave of voices.

"No! This isn't mine!"

Harry quickly waved his hands and began to explain.

But nobody listens anymore.

Wood, the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor, stepped forward, hugged Harry tightly, and laughed loudly:

"Well done! Whether it was the golden thief you caught or the guardian spirit just now—you really gave me a fright."

Immediately afterwards, all the team members gathered around Harry and began to celebrate—they picked him up, tossed him into the air repeatedly, and shouted his name.

Normally, Harry would be very happy. But now he really didn't have time to cause trouble!
Once rumors spread, it becomes even harder to explain!
That's right! He has the manual. After he leaves, he can use the manual to clarify this matter as soon as possible, and everything should be fine.

Thinking of this, Harry felt temporarily relieved and a smile returned to his face. However, his head kept unconsciously glancing towards the professors' table.

"Was that your guardian spirit just now? How could it be so huge!"

Professor McGonagall clutched her chest with one hand and looked at Levi with some surprise—but after asking the question, she seemed not to care about the answer and immediately started talking about something else.

"Dementors! How could there be Dementors at Hogwarts? This is the second time Dementors have attacked students. I really don't know what Fudge is thinking!"

Professor McGonagall, who was initially overjoyed at Gryffindor's victory, was now like an angry lion—well, although in Levi's opinion, she was more like a nagging woman.

"Then let him explain."

Li Wei patted Professor McGonagall on the shoulder with one hand to comfort her.

He had no time to pay attention to the unspoken meanings in the eyes of the other professors looking at him.

A reprimanding email, issued in the capacity of the Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts, was sent to the Ministry of Magic that same day. Officials from the Ministry arrived shortly afterward.

But it wasn't Minister Fudge; it was a delegation from the Department of Magical Transportation and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement who came to their door.

That makes sense, considering the owl that delivered the message only set off in the afternoon; it's impossible for it to arrive on the same day.

After they explained their purpose, Professor McGonagall realized they were looking for Levi—because of the ideas Levi had previously sent about the book and signal base stations, they had come to verify the functionality of the book.

Because the problem with the signal base station has not yet been resolved, to access the Bible, one must come to Hogwarts—or rather, to a place close to the Bible's main unit.

Despite the recent Dementors saga at the Ministry of Magic, Professor McGonagall knew it had nothing to do with these people and didn't hold a grudge against them. However, when she saw Amelia Borns, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she couldn't help but mutter a few words.

Coincidentally, no sooner had they arrived than the elders representing the Alchemy Association arrived.

The two forces clashed, and both vaguely understood each other's intentions.

The 'treasure book' is not only a remarkable invention, but it also represents great danger and great benefit. Once information is fully circulated within the magical world, although it has many benefits for the public, it can also be a significant asset if it falls into the hands of criminals.

Another important issue after the signal base station is set up is how to charge the wizards. It could very well represent a business that continuously generates Galleons.

The Ministry of Magic is led by Amelia Bones, a serious-looking witch with sharp eyes, but even her sharpest features soften when she is with Levi.

The deputy director of the Transportation Department had a big smile on his face and seemed very easy to talk to.

Three elders from the Alchemy Association arrived. They were all quite old, dressed in simple robes, but their eyes were very clear.

After a brief introduction, Li Wei didn't waste time with pleasantries and got straight to the point.

We'll omit the practice questions feature and focus solely on its ability to quickly transmit information in a chat room.

But that was precisely the purpose of the officials' visit to the conference room—after receiving the single-function extension from Li Wei and personally experiencing its speed, they were all excited.

However, when they turned their attention from the book to its creator, the various thoughts and ideas that had been brewing in their minds quickly cooled down.

Although they didn't know Li Wei's exact strength, he was a wizard personally endorsed by Dumbledore, so they couldn't afford to provoke him, nor did they need to.

“Master Levi, the Ministry of Magic recognizes the immense value of the ‘Book of Magic,’ and we are willing to cooperate with you—however, everything must be based on security and oversight.”

Bones pursed his lips and continued:

“We need to establish a joint committee to develop detailed guidelines to ensure that it is not used for illegal purposes.”

The elders of the Alchemist's Guild expressed their respect and desire for cooperation more directly:
"Master, your masterpiece has opened up new frontiers in alchemy."

The association hopes to have the opportunity to collaborate with you on subsequent research and standards development. Regarding profit sharing…

The leading elder glanced at the representative from the Ministry of Magic.

"The Association believes that, with Headmaster Dumbledore as witness, a fair solution that can maximize the progress of magical civilization will be reached."
