MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 10 my home is professional
Chapter 10 My family is professional
Gabriel Truman didn't have a good solution, he could only accept Albert's proposal, and being expelled from Hogwarts was a result he could not accept anyway.
After writing the letter, Truman looked at the flying owl, looked at Albert and asked, "Is this really all right?"
"The school must have been taken aback too. I don't think they will expel a student at will, at least they will figure out what's going on." Albert comforted, and the freckled boy calmed down a bit. , it should be said that he was infected by Albert's calmness.
"That letter, can you lend me a look?" Albert asked.
"Oh, here, what a disaster." Truman smiled wryly, "During the summer vacation of my first grade, I was warned by the Ministry of Magic once for using magic in front of my family."
He handed the letter to Albert and explained, "Hogwarts students cannot use magic outside of school."
"But why wasn't Albert warned after using magic?" Nia was puzzled.
"It's probably because he hasn't gone to school yet." In fact, Truman didn't know too well.
"It should be some loophole." Albert began to read the contents of the parchment:
Dear Mr. Truman: We have received information that you cast the Levitation Charm in front of a Muggle in a Muggle residential area at 10:40 noon.
Seeing this, Albert's emotions were a bit complicated. He knew who the Muggle was referring to here. He took a deep breath, sorted out the complicated emotions, and continued to read.
This behavior seriously violates the "Act on Reasonable Restraining of Minor Wizards". Since you have been formally warned for violating Article 13 of the "International Confederation of Magicians' Secrecy Act", we regret to inform you that you Must go to the Ministry of Magic for trial at 10 am on August 17.
If the charges are proven, you will be expelled from Hogwarts and your wand will be destroyed by the Ministry of Magic.
I hope you take care of yourself.
Your faithful Mafalda Hopkirk the Ministry of Magic forbids the misuse of magic.
"I suggest that after this matter is resolved, apply for spiritual compensation from the Ministry of Magic." Albert's family members are all lawyers, and he has learned a little bit about how to exploit legal loopholes.
Truman was a little dazed, and didn't even figure out what was going on. The other party actually asked him to apply for spiritual compensation from the Ministry of Magic?
"I dare say that the Ministry of Magic must have a way to monitor your surroundings, but they don't know who used the magic." Albert continued, "I just came here for the summer vacation with my sister a few days ago, because You happened to bump into us, that's why the Ministry of Magic thought you had used the Levitation Charm and was about to expel you. In fact, it was a serious mistake on their part, and besides, this letter gave you a big jump, didn't you I almost lost control just now, and this will definitely pay for mental damage."
"That's right, it's completely reasonable to ask for a mental damage fee." Nia agreed.
"My family members are all lawyers, so I know these things better than you." Albert continued to instigate, "Someone will definitely come over later, at least someone will write a letter, anyway, let's clear up your matter first. Then, Then file a complaint against the Ministry of Magic's mistakes, ask them to compensate you for the cost of scaring you, and demand 100 Galleons from them."
"Will it be too much?" Truman was taken aback by Albert's lion's big mouth.
"This is the best way to explain." Albert said without hesitation, "At least, 50 galleons is not too much, if it is lower than this number, don't want it, lest they feel that children are fooling, adults are like this, they think children are easy to pass "
"If the Ministry of Magic doesn't pay you, I can write you a letter and ask the Daily Prophet to reveal this matter anonymously. I believe they will be willing to pay you 50 Galleons. However, the money you get when the time comes I need to share half of it with me as the fee for writing letters for you." Albert's words made Truman feel that this kid is really...too powerful.
…
Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore has just received a notification from the Ministry of Magic that Gabriel Truman needs to go to the Ministry of Magic for trial because of using the Levitation Charm in front of Muggles. Once the charges against the Ministry of Magic are established, Truman will will be expelled from school.
This is not good news. Truman has a criminal record. During the summer vacation of the first grade, he was warned by the Ministry of Magic for using magic in front of his family.
Just as Dumbledore was about to go to the Ministry of Magic to confirm the situation, a letter from an owl surprised him.
The letter described that Truman had nothing to do with this matter. He just ran into a freshman who was about to enter the school practicing the levitation spell in the park, and the Muggle was referring to the other party's sister.
This doesn't seem like a lie, because there is another letter in the letter, and his owner is Albert Anderson.
In the letter, Albert expressed his regret for bringing Truman an innocent disaster, and said that he could testify for him if necessary.
Dumbledore found the name in his memory, and it was indeed a first-year freshman from a Muggle family.
Dumbledore couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he felt that this was probably the case. Expelling a student is definitely not something the principal would like to see.
Dumbledore immediately went to the Ministry of Magic and talked about the letter and the matter with the people in the Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. The matter was not serious enough to require a trial. If it was just an accident, the Ministry of Magic might become a laughing stock.
After all, both Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic knew that there was a loophole in Trace.
The facts were similar to what Albert had guessed. Someone from the Ministry of Magic came, and he also met Dumbledore. The old man smiled and looked at the two children talking in the park.
"It seems that this should be a misunderstanding." Dumbledore said with a smile to the Ministry of Magic staff around him.
"I think you should be Principal Dumbledore." Albert looked at Dumbledore, reached out to shake hands with him and said, "You are the same as the picture of the chocolate frog."
"Mr. Albert?" Dumbledore looked at Albert and said with a smile, "We have received your letter, child, can you give me your wand?"
"Oh, of course no problem." Albert knew what Dumbledore wanted to do, so he still gave him the wand.
The principal really used a flashback spell to detect the magic that the wand owner had used in recent days.
Dumbledore looked at Albert in amazement. The child actually mastered five magic spells in just a few days.
"Truman just corrected my gesture for using the Levitation Charm, and I just mastered this spell." Albert explained.
"Where's your wand?" The wizard from the Ministry of Magic looked at Truman.
"I didn't bring it, I put it at home. If you need to check, you can go back with me to get it." Truman was very confident, and he was not afraid of checking anyway.
"It seems that this is a misunderstanding, Nutley." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Yes, I think so." Nutley nodded. "I think I need to rewrite the report."
The Ministry of Magic has no right to expel students from Hogwarts, nor to confiscate wands unless the charges are established.
This is my negligence. I should go to the Department of Prohibited Misuse of Magic of the Ministry of Magic to be tried first. Only when the accusation is established will I be expelled from the school and the wand will be destroyed.
