If in the past, the little wizards were asked to do these drudgery tasks, there would be lots of complaints among them.
But now, they heard that they formed a team and could leave Hogwarts after passing the strength test.
That night, the entire sky above Hogwarts was shrouded in various fireworks magic.
Let's put it this way, if you usually ask people to fill out questionnaires, most people don't want to do this time-consuming and laborious task.
But during the lockdown, countless people will compete for jobs such as street sweeping or dog walking.
Because, you can go out...
The next day, Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.
Group after group of young wizards continue to accept Elise's assessment.
After confirming that they had the abilities of half an Auror, they were allowed to go to Luna to collect supplies.
In addition to Muggle money, there are also a batch of potions sponsored by Professor Slughorn, which can help the little wizards complete their tasks better.
Finally, there is the level between Cassandra and Xifa.
Thanks to the existence of Zongsi, Xifa has a convenient way to monitor the little wizard when he is out.
Normally, underage wizards are not allowed to release magic outside of school.
If magic is released, the relevant departments will be notified and go to deal with it, and they will be given a warning at the least, or imprisoned in Azkaban at the worst.
"Say it first! You can go out! But you must sign the following treaty!"
"First! Don't show off your magic to ordinary people! If you are seen by ordinary people, you must do your best to eliminate the impact!"
"Second! You are not allowed to leave the prescribed area! If you perform magic outside the prescribed area! We will think that you have been attacked! But if this is not the case, there will be consequences at your own risk!"
"Third! Protect yourself! Please do not hesitate to use the Unforgivable Curse when necessary!"
For the first two treaties, a dozen selected groups nodded in approval, but for the last one, those who heard it were in an uproar.
But the little wizard who was the team leader was thoughtful.
"Quiet! Listen to me!"
Xifa spread his hands flat and pressed down, and the noise gradually disappeared.
"Now is the time of war. I can't guarantee that no enemies will sneak into our territory, and I can't guarantee that there won't be evil dark wizards to stop us!"
"I only hope! Once you encounter danger, don't hesitate! Protecting yourself is the most correct choice!"
Everyone nodded in approval, then packed their luggage and headed to the principal's office to choose their destination.
the following few days,
Although the little wizard who went out occupies a very small part of the whole, this matter still made everyone talk about it for a long time.
And what is Xifa doing at this time?
There is a tall stone bridge at the gate of Hogwarts campus.
At this time, at the edge of the bridge, Xifa was sitting on the guardrail, looking up at the sky with a look of despair.
Yes, I don't have to go out, and I can safely teach Elise and others how to use the power of the second heart and the magic operation method that I have summarized in my civilization experience.
However, I have another job - security inspector.
As the name suggests, it is to check whether the returning little wizard has been replaced, whether there has been a curse placed on him, and whether there are any black magic artifacts mixed in.
All the little wizards who can pass Elise's test are great! Moreover, the team leaders selected are all calm and composed senior wizards.
No little wizard has died so far, but a few have been injured, but the matter of a bottle of magic potion is not a big problem and everything is going smoothly.
Until the seventh day...
problem occurs---
In the middle of the night, Xifa was woken up by a patron saint.
"Xifa! One team has lost contact!"
——————
"what happened?!"
With a bang, the door to the principal's office was pushed open by Xifa, and the golden handle groaned as it collided with the wall.
Even Professor Slughorn didn't care that it turned into a gold cake, let alone Western France.
He strode to the principal's desk and stared at the Marauder's Map on the desk with serious eyes.
Professor Slughorn picked up a handkerchief with trembling hands, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then took a sip of the sky-blue potion.
He pursed his dry lips and saw Xifa's eyes focused on him before he answered dryly.
"It's Glinton and his group!"
"When did they disappear?"
"today---"
"today?!"
Obviously, Xifa was not satisfied with this answer.
Xifa stretched out his finger and tapped the area on the map that was constantly flashing red light, and a line of information about the little wizard appeared.
“Roscommon…”
Xifa whispered the Muggle city.
"What's the specific time of disappearance?"
"me--"
"Professor! Oh no! Headmaster! You are the head of Hogwarts now! The little wizards on campus are protected by contracts, so there is no need to worry."
"These little wizards who are out, I repeatedly ask you to keep an eye on their whereabouts. This operation is indeed a dangerous trial for them. Towering trees cannot be grown in a greenhouse!"
"But that's not why we don't care about their whereabouts!"
"Headmaster Slughorn! Please tell me! What were you doing during this time after you last received news from them until you learned that they were missing?!"
…
"I'm holding a party..."
Xifa's eyes couldn't help but widen. He couldn't believe his ears?
"Slughorn! What did you say?"
He stared at the chubby man who was covering his face with his hands and trying to bury himself on the sofa with an expression of disbelief. He even called him professor in anger.
"I'm holding a banquet..." After the words fell, Professor Slughorn wailed, "It's over now! I will become a laughing stock! The school hasn't started yet, and several outstanding little wizards have disappeared..."
He was said to be missing, but no body was seen!
Well, you are really capable of doing such a thing...Xifa doesn't know what to say.
"Is there Tom Riddle in the party?!"
Suddenly, Xifa thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and asked the fat man who was almost collapsed.
"Of course! He is my favorite member! He is very talented! He is polite! He will definitely stand out in the future!"
"He was the one who led this gathering..."
Tom…
"What are you doing? This matter has nothing to do with Tom!"
Seeing Xifa turn around and walk out, he realized that Xifa was going to find trouble with Tom.
Slughorn quickly stood up and stopped Xifa.
"Haha! What a coincidence! You haven't held a party for so many days, but something happened when you were holding a party."
"But the party was an impromptu idea! I swear on all the principals' portraits!"
"Tom is just helping me contact the members attending the party!"
Professor Slughorn really worked hard for Tom.
He knew that he would not get the attention of Western Fa because his connections were nothing in front of Western Fa.
His best potion could not lift its head under Luna's pressure.
Therefore, in order to get a rookie who can serve him in the future.
He was willing to say a few good words to this handsome young man who was talking sweetly in his ear.
"Okay! Principal Slughorn! You can explain it to Professor Dumbledore afterwards!"
Xifa took a deep look at the fat man and saw that his expression did not look guilty. It seemed that he had just made it up on the spur of the moment, so he stopped embarrassing him and naturally had no idea of going to Tom to question him.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing Xifa striding towards the principal's room, Slughorn shouted anxiously.
