Hogwarts: Who made her a professor?

Chapter 472 Authoritative Scholar

While one's own failure is painful, the success of one's colleagues is even harder to accept.

When news of Belvina's arrest of an entire werewolf community spread within the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Magical Creatures Control could no longer remain calm.

What does that mean?

Do you want it to work?

This is like a dog catching a mouse—meddling in other people's business!

Everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows that werewolves fall under the jurisdiction of the Division for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, so why is it being pointed at by your Division for the Enforcement of Magical Laws?

Of course, they dared not say these words to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Belvina. No matter how much dissatisfaction they had, the people in the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control had to keep it to themselves.

They couldn't even get their complaints to the Minister of Magic, because Amelia Bones would definitely say something like: "You can either go and capture the werewolf community, or go straight for the dark wizards."

Capturing werewolves or destroying werewolf communities is something we should probably just think about.

Although all werewolves deserve to die, they are just too dangerous. What if they get infected with werewolf disease during the capture process?

Unable to reach the grapes themselves, yet unable to say they were sour, some members of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control were incredibly frustrated, feeling not only restless but also wanting to tear their hair out.

In order to get a share of the profits from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, this group of people went to great lengths, preparing to send authoritative scholars to "help" the Department of Law Enforcement and participate in the interrogation of werewolves.

The report was quickly handed to Amelia, who glanced at it before passing it on to Belvina.

When Belvina, who hadn't slept all night, received the report, the furious Director Black wished he could throw all the werewolves into the fourth-floor office area.

When they applied for the wolfsbane potion from the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control, they dragged their feet and hesitated; when they asked the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control if they wanted to participate in the capture operation, they shook their heads repeatedly and refused to participate.

Now that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has captured the werewolf, the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control is trying to claim credit. Just thinking about it is shameless, yet they actually dared to submit a report to the Minister, requesting to participate in the subsequent interrogation.

The shamelessness of the bureaucrats and authoritative scholars made Belvina laugh in anger, and she decided to give the people in the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control a really tough job.

Belvina then signed the report, agreeing to allow the bureaucrats and scholars of the Department of Magical Creatures Control to participate in the interrogation and gladly accepting their assistance.

The report had barely been signed here when bureaucrats and scholars rushed over, but they didn't even know the magic...

Pierce Sinkness sent them back before they even got inside the Department of Justice.

"Belvina said that no one is allowed to approach the werewolves; they need treatment now."

Pierce Sinkness said resentfully that he is now in charge of interrogation work, and this group of people are here to steal his credit. Sinkness was already very tactful not to turn on them directly.

Moreover, Belvina did indeed require that no one approach the werewolves, because they really needed treatment.

During yesterday's operation, several unlucky members of the Ministry of Magic were scratched by werewolves and suffered minor injuries, but the werewolf community was not so lucky.

The Aurors and the Strikers were well aware of the dangers of werewolves and were also afraid of contracting werewolf disease. In addition, Belvina had repeatedly told them not to hold back, so the Aurors and the Strikers used ruthless moves from the start.

Faced with the all-out efforts of the elite Magic Law Enforcement Division, the panicked werewolf community was initially able to put up a fight, scratching a few unlucky ones who weren't careful enough, but they were quickly subdued by the enraged Aurors and Strikers.

The werewolves who resisted the most fiercely naturally received special treatment. Although their injuries were not as severe as those of the community leader Phil Woolf, they were indeed not fit to be interrogated at the moment, especially by bureaucrats and scholars.

These so-called authoritative scholars all seem to be very knowledgeable, but in reality they know very little about werewolves. They were able to mistake Fenrir Graybuck for a Muggle vagrant back then, but who knows if they will mistake Phil Woolf for a Muggle with pica now.

Moreover, this group of scholars regards the book "Wolves That Corrupt Law: Why Werewolves Don't Deserve to Live" as their guiding principle, but heaven knows...

They wondered if they would use an extremely high-level memory restoration spell on the werewolf, making the already battered werewolf even more injured, or even causing him to die in the interrogation room.

Belvina didn't believe in the abilities of this group of so-called authoritative scholars; their arrogance and prejudice made their views full of errors.

At the same time, the group's subsequent attempt to take credit crossed Belvina's bottom line. Whether it was for the sake of the Aurors and the strikers, or to keep the mammary glands clear, Belvina would no longer turn a blind eye.

While Pierce Sinkness intervened and the werewolf received treatment, Belvina urgently recalled a group of minor offenders who were being transported.

This group of minor offenders included those who resold counterfeit or substandard protective equipment, those who hoarded goods and disrupted the market, and those who misused magic to injure Muggles. Their crimes were not serious, and their sentences were only a few months.

Belvina secretly recalled these minor offenders, put them back in the interrogation room, and then notified Sinkenis that she could begin interrogating the werewolves.

Having received orders from the Director, Sinknis reappeared at the entrance of the Magic Law Enforcement Division, looking at the authoritative scholars and bureaucrats who had come to claim credit with a gentle, spring-like demeanor.

In the morning, he was as cold as ice, driving everyone away, but in the afternoon, he was all smiles, warmly welcoming everyone. The contrast between Sinkness's behavior and his behavior was so great that some people became suspicious.

Why is Belvina so agreeable this time, while Sinkness is completely different before and after?

However, the majority of these authoritative scholars were unable to resist the allure of merit, and the doubts of a small minority were not enough to sway everyone's course.

Under Pierce Sinkness's leadership, bureaucrats and authoritative scholars from the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control were brought into the Department of Law Enforcement and into the heavily guarded interrogation area.

In the deep corridor, Sinkness pointed to a door with a smile and said kindly, "The Death Eater Corban Yaxley is being held here. His interrogation is not over yet."

As he spoke, Sinkness gestured with his chin toward the guard standing at the door. The observant guard immediately opened the peephole on the door, and Yaxley's roars and curses immediately echoed down the corridor.

The corridor where the interrogation area was located had no windows and was very dark. There were only dark doors on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and two guards stood in front of each door.

The gloomy and confined environment, coupled with the roars of the Death Eaters, caused a small group of authoritative scholars to involuntarily shiver.

If it weren't for the numerous guards in the corridor, these people would have even tried to turn around and run away.

Sinknies continued deeper into the interrogation area, where he was now in charge of the interrogations, and the environment had no effect on him.

But the bureaucrats and scholars of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control couldn't accept it. They were used to the bright and sunny corridors, and the sudden change to a gloomy interrogation area was unbearable for them.

Sinkness stopped again in front of a door, and the guards standing at the door opened the viewing window on the door once more.

"Phil Woolf, the leader of the werewolf community," Sinkness introduced. "He was personally arrested by Belvina, and during his transformation."

With that, Sinknis stepped back, making room in front of the door so that the scholars could get a closer look.

The bureaucrats and scholars who rushed to claim credit looked at each other, and finally a relatively young scholar was chosen.

The young scholar pushed up his glasses perched on his nose and cautiously peered through the viewing window. He saw Phil Woolf huddled in the cramped space.

Immediately afterwards, Phil Woolf let out a faint groan, and the heavy smell of blood wafted into the corridor through the small window in the door. The young bespectacled scholar kept backing away, almost bumping into the wall behind him.

"Although Woolf is the leader of the werewolf community, as you can see, her injuries are too severe to withstand interrogation," Sinkness said with a smile, his words sending chills down the spines of the scholars present.

After saying that, Pierce Sinkness continued walking forward.

But as they walked, Sinknis suddenly stopped, and as if remembering something, turned to the scholars and said...

"By the way, did you know that Phil Woolf was a huge fan of Fenrir Graybourne?" Sinkness said with a laugh, "the Fenrir Graybourne that you all think of as a Muggle vagrant."

Upon hearing this, the bureaucrats and scholars of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control all blushed. Even those as shameless as them could not remain unmoved upon hearing the name Greyback.

Seeing the scholars' embarrassed expressions, Pierce Sinkness, with his face turned up wide, revealed a satisfied smile.

However, Sinkness knew very well that this was just an appetizer, and the real main event was yet to come.

In the following period, Pierce Sinkness stopped scaring these bureaucrats and academics who were used to sitting in offices, and stopped talking to them face to face.

Soon, Sinkernis led the group to a black door with a large iron lock. He drew his wand and struck the lock, and after a chilling clanging sound, the black door opened, revealing an even more sinister trial chamber.

Pierce Sinkness entered the courtroom, where the light from the torches immediately illuminated the dark, deep chamber.

"Everyone, if there are no problems, shall we begin the interrogation and trial of the werewolf?" Sinkenis said to the people behind him.

The bureaucrats and scholars of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control exchanged glances. By now, even the most foolish person could see that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement's arrangements were ill-intentioned.

In short, they fell for the trap!
