"Actually, it's nothing, it won't affect anything." Hermione muttered, packing her things and walking out of the common room with Tom.
"Everyone is celebrating the victory. It's really a shame for you to read a book at this time." Tom shook his head.
But Hermione still acted as if she had her own way. This is Hermione. If she wants to do something, she won't waver.
…
By the time Hermione closed the book "Family Life and Social Habits of Muggles in Britain", it was almost library closing time.
"Seriously, do wizards like you and me who are from Muggle families really need to read this book?" Tom couldn't control his desire to complain when he saw the title. The content of this book,
It's more like a wizard's imagination of Muggle society. For students from wizarding families, there is still something to gain, but what's the point of Muggle wizards seeing this?
It's like a British person reading an English textbook.
"It's very necessary." Judging from Hermione's expression, she didn't think reading this book was a waste of time.
"This book can show me how wizards view Muggles. It was only after reading this book that I realized what Muggle society is like from a wizard's perspective."
For Hermione, it seems that no book is worthless - maybe this is related to the fact that she has never read any books on success. Hermione is not a bookworm, and she will filter out books that are meaningless at first glance.
.
"However, there are indeed some common sense errors in the book. I have written them down." Hermione raised a piece of parchment sandwiched in the book with dense writing on it. "I will send it back to the author."
Tom:……
Real hard-core readers! Is it so easy to reveal the home address of an author in the wizarding world? Then it should be convenient for readers to prompt for updates, right?
"Speaking of sending letters," Hermione seemed to have remembered something, "You said before that you wanted to contact the Minister of Magic. How was the contact?"
Like a homeroom teacher collecting homework, she began to ask about Tom's work progress.
"The letter has been sent. I guess Minister Bones is reading it, right?" Tom replied calmly, as if he had enough time to face the teacher after completing the homework.
At this time, the Ministry of Magic was brightly lit. Although most employees had gone off work, the Office of the Minister of Magic was still operating normally. It was not that the officials here were more diligent, but that the Minister of Magic was still working overtime. This was unprecedented in Fudge's era.
When Bones was the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he had the habit of working overtime. When he became the Minister of Magic, he did not restrain himself and almost turned the Minister's office into his second home.
The benefits of this are obviously obvious: she grasped the power of the minister faster than Fudge. At this time, she was reading a letter, which was sent to her by Dumbledore of Hogwarts.
In the letter, Dumbledore confirmed Tom's "wizard" identity to her and assured her that Tom was reliable. With Dumbledore's guarantee, Bones could rest assured. Dumbledore might be a little uncomfortable with small things.
He is reliable, but he has never had any major problems.
Next, she has a lot of other work to deal with. Gu Ma
"Mafalda, how are you preparing for this year's Hogwarts recruitment?" Bones shook a small bell on the table, and her secretary Mafalda Hopkirk left.
He came in with a small tray in his hand, and a small cup of black liquid on the tray.
This mysterious black liquid has wisps of white vapor on the surface and countless tiny bubbles inside. It looks strange and abnormal, as if it is some unknown magic potion.
Mafalda is a little witch with gray hair who looks gentle. She works in the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic of the Ministry of Magic and is responsible for sending notices to wizards suspected of violating the Statute of Secrecy or the Statute of Binding. Ha.
Leigh Porter had been warned by her.
The Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Magic is a subordinate department of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Mafalda, who works here, is Bones's friend and confidant. After Bones became the Minister of Magic, he directly transferred his capable assistant to the Ministry of Magic.
Minister's office to handle official business for her.
"Everything is ready. Representatives from each department will be sent to Hogwarts in early April to collect resumes and letters of intent, and conduct in-depth interviews with seventh-grade students," Mafalda said seriously.
There is no concept of graduate students and doctoral students in the wizarding world. After studying at Hogwarts for seven years, students will directly enter the society - such a thing as staying in school almost does not exist. Back then, Tom Riddle was so outstanding.
His resume didn't allow him to stay in school, and neither could other students.
The reason for this is that Hogwarts hopes that students will first have some experience in society, so as not to live in an ivory tower all their lives and become inexperienced in the world.
After the students have been struggling in society for a period of time, Hogwarts will consider recalling the best among them. Taking the current deans as an example, Professor McGonagall first worked in the Ministry of Magic and later returned to school to teach.
Transfiguration. Professor Flitwick was keen on fighting and was a very famous duelist. Not to mention Snape, who joined the Death Eaters and later found a part-time job in the Order of the Phoenix. All the professors have work experience.
However, these students do not directly enter the society, but have a "campus recruitment" process just like the non-magical world. During the period before graduation, the students will contact the companies of their choice and finally get the company's job.
For the position, formal entry will be processed after the N.E.W.T. results are obtained.
As the top of the food chain in the magical world, the Ministry of Magic naturally has the right to prioritize wizards. They will contact the students before other companies. If the negotiation is completed and the students' N.E.W.T. scores meet the requirements, they will recruit the students into the magic industry.
department.
This year's school recruitment time is approaching, and the Ministry of Magic has made preparations.
After receiving a positive answer, Bones showed a satisfied smile, picked up the black potion on the tray, and drank it in one gulp.
"Hmm... This Muggle potion is really delicious. Won't you have some, Mafalda?" Bones looked very satisfied. She liked this potion that was popular among Muggles very much, and wanted to
I found the original formula and restored it.
Her assistant declined her invitation and placed an envelope on her desk.
"Minister, you have a personal letter that was sent from Hogwarts. It just passed the security check and it is an ordinary letter."

I divided the elbow and roughly divided it into three parts: bones, lean meat and fat meat (These days, I am good at knife skills). Cut the lean meat into pieces and use it for cooking. The fat meat is fat with lean meat and fat.
The pork skin (a low-profile version of pork belly) can be braised and eaten. As for the bones, I plan to braise it with the ribs. This kind of hoof can be eaten for five or six meals.
Put lunch here, cold lettuce and braised pork!
PS: I rummaged through the cabinet and found a bottle of oil and vinegar sauce, which can be used to make lettuce salad.
