2016, Autumn.
September 1st, this is the day when little wizards enroll in magic academy once a year.
A brand new three-decker red bus stopped by the roadside. Harry got off the bus briskly and held Ginny’s hand.
Three children followed behind them.
The little red-haired girl pouted and followed her two brothers with tears in her eyes.
“You will go there soon, Lily.” Harry turned around to comfort his little daughter.
“Two more years.” Lily said frustratedly, “I want to go now.”
“Hey, you haven’t finished elementary school yet.” Her brother James, who was a head taller than her, said.
Lily looked at Ginny unconvinced, “Mom didn’t go to elementary school when she was a child.”
Ginny laughed.
“I think it is a wise decision for the Ministry of Education to open magic preschool education for little wizards.”
She turned to look at Harry.
“What do you think, dear?”
Harry shrugged his shoulders, “Oh, our Minister of Education, Ms. Granger, will be happy to hear this.”
Ginny couldn’t help laughing when she heard it.
“Let’s go!”
At this time, James shouted and rushed to the new-looking station in front of him. His younger brother and sister hurriedly followed him.
“Slow down!” Ginny scolded.
The family walked into the station and walked in the spacious and bright hall.
In front of the hall, a huge mirror that occupied the entire wall was playing the train timetable and some advertisements in a loop.
“Hey!”
Ron hurried over with his two children.
“Why are you the only one here?” Harry asked with a smile.
“Hermione is going crazy!” Ron shrugged his shoulders, “Those Americans have agreed to enter the wizarding world, and their Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will also move in.”
Ginny’s eyes lit up, “In this way, the wizarding world will have four magic schools! When will they move in? I’m going to interview them.”
“You should ask Hermione.” Ron pouted.
“Dad!”
Little daughter Lily ran over and hugged Harry’s legs, raised her head, and looked at him with green eyes.
“Rose and Hugo went to the Muggle world. What is it like there? Can we go there?”
“We want to go too!”
Her two brothers said in unison.
Harry and Ginny looked at Ron.
“It was George and Fred.” Ron said unhappily, “Two days ago, they took the kids to the Muggle world.”
“Oh, by the way, I haven’t been to the Muggle world for several years because the procedures for entering and leaving the magic world are a bit troublesome.” Harry showed a nostalgic expression on his face.
“We want to go!”
The three children emphasized loudly again.
“It depends on your performance!” Ginny said fiercely, “If you perform well in school, I will consider taking you there at Christmas!”
Harry lowered his head and showed a helpless expression to Lily, who looked aggrieved.
“Okay, we should get in.”
Ron reminded, and the group walked towards the waiting room lively.
…
This is a heavy oak door with a brass doorplate on it.
[Office of the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom]
Hermione came from the other side of the corridor in a hurry and knocked on the door.
The door opened.
“Minister Diggory!”
“Oh, Hermione.”
Cedric, who was busy working, looked up.
“I told you, just call me Cedric.”
“This is the workplace, Minister Diggory.” Hermione refused seriously.
Cedric smiled helplessly and nodded obediently, “Okay, Minister Granger.”
“Here is a notice from the ‘Supreme Magic Council’.”
He took out a document and handed it to Hermione.
“It’s a document about the establishment of a magic university.”
“University?”
Hermione took the document with interest and read it.
“For outstanding graduates from all magic schools who intend to pursue further studies…The principal is…Scott Trollope? He will personally serve as the principal of this university?”
Cedric said: “Look at the lineup of professors. He has almost poached the best professors from those magic schools, including Hogwarts.”
Hermione glanced at the lineup of teachers and saw several familiar names as expected.
“This is really!” She couldn’t help but frowned tightly, “It’s too abominable!”
Cedric hurriedly comforted the Minister of Education who looked very angry.
“I know that this is equivalent to weakening the teaching power of our British Ministry of Education, but there is nothing we can do about it…”
“Damn it!”
Hermione screamed again!
“Why! Why didn’t this magic university exist when I graduated from Hogwarts!”
She tightly grasped the documents in her hand, obviously very unwilling.
“… So that’s the case…”
Cedric looked at her in surprise and laughed dryly twice.
Hermione walked up and slapped the documents on the table.
“Please ask that guy Scott for me!” She said, “Can people who are already working go to university for further studies? For example, me!”
“This is not appropriate… You are already the Minister of Education…” Cedric said weakly.
“It’s the Minister of Education of the British Ministry of Magic!” Hermione emphasized, “And my goal is to enter the ‘Supreme Magic Council’!”
Cedric nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I will ask for you.”
…
This is a secret place in the sea of flowers where the sun shines forever. A pure white giant tower stands on the lake in the middle of the sea of flowers, surrounded by water.
Scott is entertaining his guests in the room on the top of the tower.
Twenty years have passed, and Scott looks much more mature and stable.
Although there are no wrinkles on his face, he is no longer as young and immature as he was in his youth.
“Welcome, long time no see.”
He hugged several guests one by one.
“Professor Dumbledore.”
“Professor Flitwick.”
“Professor Russell.”
When it was Snape’s turn in black, the potion professor refused the hug with a look of disgust, and just shook hands with him reservedly.
“I appreciate your proposal to establish a university.”
Professor Snape said in his usual silky tone.
“But I hope you can strictly control the selection, and don’t always recruit a group of students who are not much smarter than trolls, as is the tradition of magic schools.”
“Of course.” Scott promised, “We will only recruit outstanding graduates from magic schools.”
Professor Flitwick said on the side: “Oh, don’t worry, Severus, only those smart and curious students will choose to study in university.”
Scott asked everyone to sit down, and said with some regret: “It’s a pity that Professor McGonagall rejected my invitation.”
Professor Dumbledore said helplessly: “Okay, Scott, Hogwarts is about to be emptied by you. Minerva is the principal of Hogwarts, and she said that your attainments in Transfiguration have surpassed hers.”
“But I don’t know how to teach.” Scott said with a smile.
Next, they began to discuss the university’s curriculum.
