Chapter 107 The Ministry of Magic intervenes (3rd update)

Mike slept soundly this time. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

As soon as he got up, he found that the leftovers on his pillow had been replaced with brand new fish and chips. He grabbed a chip and put it in his mouth. It was still hot.

This surprised Mike a little. You know, because the kitchen was closed these days, they had been eating bread and other dry food. Although fish and chips were not considered delicacies, they were considered an upgrade of food for them.

What's going on? The kitchen was reopened?

However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the management team members who were originally responsible for protecting the safety of the students in the hall were all replaced by Aurors in uniform.

"Is it so fast?" Mike thought to himself.

Judging from this situation, the security work of Hogwarts has clearly been taken over by the Aurors. Although Mike had long known that the Ministry of Magic would soon take compulsory measures against Hogwarts after a death accident, he did not expect the British Ministry of Magic to react so quickly. It seems that the Ministry of Magic is not as corrupt as the outside world says.

After finishing his late breakfast, Mike got up and went to Flitwick's temporary office. He needed to know more information.

Because of the basilisk, the professors' offices were also moved next to the auditorium. When Mike knocked on the door and entered, he found that Flitwick had other guests.

"Mike! We were just talking about you. Come and sit down." Flitwick greeted Mike with a smile, "I don't need to introduce this person, right? Abbott Fly, an outstanding student who graduated from Ravenclaw last year and the former male student union president. And you have also met his father, Mario Fly, who I took you to meet last summer vacation, the deputy director of the Auror Office."

Mike still knew this senior Abbott. Although he didn't deal with him much last year, his father, the enthusiastic uncle, left a deep impression on Mike. Because his name Mario is exactly the same as the famous plumber Uncle Mario.

Mike smiled politely, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Abbott using the Raven's Nest's unique handshake. Immediately, the smiles on both faces became brighter, and the other party also used the Raven's Nest's handshake. After

a round of greetings, Professor Flitwick left the office on the grounds that he had other things to deal with. Only Mike and Abbott were left in the office, and their conversation got down to business.

"Mike, I just completed Auror training and became an Auror. This time, I received an order from the Ministry of Magic and followed our captain to Hogwarts to deal with the basilisk." Abbott said with a smile.

What Abbott said was not much different from what Mike had guessed, but there were still some things Mike didn't understand, so he asked: "Why did the Ministry of Magic react so quickly this time? Also, shouldn't the school be closed after something like this? Why do I see students still in the auditorium?"

"Let me answer your first question first. The death of three students has caused a big fuss outside. Many parents of students are accusing the Ministry of Magic of inaction, including some bigwigs, so the Ministry of Magic had to send us here under pressure." Abbott smiled and said, "Then there is the issue of closing the school.

Among the Aurors we sent this time, there are many experienced and powerful senior Aurors, It can be said that what you see in Hogwarts now is the top strength among the Aurors. Even the Basilisk is vulnerable in front of them.

In addition, based on the clues provided by the two little wizards who committed suicide with Harry Potter, we can confirm that the Basilisk is moving through the sewer pipes in Hogwarts.

So our captain thinks there is no need to close the school at all. We will be able to catch the Basilisk soon. It will be bad if the Basilisk suddenly attacks the students during the evacuation. We cannot protect all the students. If there are more deaths at that time, the reputation of the Ministry of Magic will be ruined. "

Mike suddenly realized and thanked Abbott.

"Mike, I suggest you also take part in this operation. With this merit as a foundation, it will be much easier for you to become an Auror or enter other departments of the Ministry of Magic in the future, and you may even get the Order of Merlin, Class III." Abbot continued with a sincere expression, "You and I belong to the Raven's Nest, and I will not harm you.

Don't worry about safety issues. You also know my identity. As long as you stay with me, you will be absolutely safe."

Hearing Abbot say this, Mike immediately understood.

At first, he was still wondering why he, the second-generation official, was sent to perform such a dangerous mission. It seems that this guy is here to get credit and gild himself. Uncle Mario sent so many senior Aurors this time not only because he wanted to get rid of the basilisk as soon as possible, but also because he wanted to protect his son Abbot.

And Mike was also a little tempted by Abbot's proposal. He himself hated the basilisk that attacked him and Penelope, and this time he could get credit in absolute safety, so why not?

After thinking about it, Mike said sincerely: "Thank you Abbott, I owe you a favor."

"Look at what you said, you are my junior, who should I help if I don't help you?" Abbott stood up and said, "Let's talk to our captain and Dean Flitwick about this matter, I believe they will agree.

The two walked out of the office together. On the way, Mike learned that the temporary management team had been cancelled. All the members of the original management team returned to the auditorium and received protection like those lower-grade students.

Not long after walking, Mike saw an office that was used as a temporary command room, and it was already crowded. Many Aurors in uniforms and professors with combat power in Hogwarts were discussing how to deal with the basilisk in it, and strangely, Dumbledore was not in it.

"...Since it has been confirmed that the basilisk is in the sewer pipe, then I suggest that we directly seal all the exits and inject poison gas into the pipe to poison the basilisk to death." A young-looking boy said.

Hearing his words, Professor Flitwick retorted: "I'm afraid not, kid. The pipe system in Hogwarts is very complicated and huge, and the poison gas cannot spread at all. And the basilisk is immune to most toxins. Are you sure it can be poisoned to death? "

The young man saw that his proposal was rejected, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face. He stepped aside and said nothing.

"Then let's do as we discussed before, and send people in to check according to the area division. For the sake of safety, punch through the pipes and walls at intervals to leave escape routes, and don't worry about the damage to Hogwarts Castle." A middle-aged man with a majestic temperament and a scar on his face said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, some Aurors at the scene became agitated, and one of them suggested to the middle-aged man: "But Captain, our people will be in danger in this case. Otherwise, we should ask Dumbledore for help. If he takes action, a mere basilisk will definitely be no problem. "

As soon as he said this, he was immediately agreed by everyone, but the middle-aged man flew into a rage and shouted: "If you ask Dumbledore for everything, then what do you need to do? Remember your identity, you are an Auror! Do you understand? The plan has been decided, go and execute it!"
