Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Hogwarts Castle, Transfiguration Classroom.

The crowded scene that Lucius Malfoy imagined did not happen.

As he, the Hogwarts board member, stepped into the classroom, the discussion center around him did not swerve in the slightest.

None of the students' parents took the initiative to lean over to say hello. He seemed out of place in the lively classroom as if a drop of oil had fallen into the clear water.

However, as the contemporary head of a well-known pure-blood wizard family in the wizarding world, Lucius Malfoy quickly found a particularly important reason.

"Narcissa, do you think...there are too many Muggles in this classroom."

Lucius frowned and looked around in disgust, as if he had seen some extremely disgusting vomit. .

Not far from him, a middle-aged Muggle man with black curly hair was chatting happily with a shameless wizard.

"...Oh, yes, Justin was going to go to Eton High School - his mother was quite disappointed to learn that he had decided to come to Hogwarts. But I think it's a good thing -"

"Hogwarts is the best school in the world, Mr. Finlay, you should let your wife come and see."

"No way, the school only sent a pass this time. After we discussed it, we decided that I would first come to understand..."

Mr. Finlay shrugged regretfully, touched his son's head, and replied with a smile.

"After all, the magical world is quite different from the non-magical world. We are not like your wizard family, who can help children learn magic at home."

"I have to say, this parent meeting is very well done. I have long wanted to see if this kid in my family has studied hard, and by the way, I want to know what his talent in this area is."

Unlike those wizarding families who already live in a magical society, and non-magical families like the Finchleys, most of the news about the wizarding world and Hogwarts can only come from the descriptions of their children's holidays. Even if professors will come to introduce and answer questions at the time of admission, the unilateral lack of daily contact and various worries are still unavoidable problems.

And for a somewhat pragmatic, serious old-fashioned family like Mr. Finlay, they are very eager to learn about the progress and prospects of magical learning.

In particular, what did their children learn in the magic school, what kind of work they can do in society in the future, and what kind of life they can live.

"Don't worry, Mr. Finchley—well, I mean little Finchley's studies are nothing to worry about."

Before the middle-aged wizard could answer, a hoarse old woman's voice suddenly rang out, and the two suddenly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the source of the voice.

Seeing an old witch who looked a little scary walked into the classroom at some point, Mr. Finlay's mind flashed the shadow of the scary witch he had seen in the picture book.

The old witch was dressed in a green robe and moth-eaten fox fur, and her pointy wizard hat was adorned with what was undoubtedly a stuffed vulture.

And behind her was a round-faced little wizard who looked so nervous that he was about to faint.

"Although this is a bit absolute, as far as I know, most of those little wizards from the non-magical world have done quite well-"

"Augusta Longbottom, this is my grandson... Neville Longbottom."

The old witch came over, glanced troubledly at the two middle-aged men, and politely pointed to the seats beside them.

"I hope I didn't disturb the chat between the two of you, but, this seems to be Neville's seat? Hmm-"

"Oh, sorry, Mrs Longbottom—"

The middle-aged wizard quickly stood up and said a little embarrassedly, "I see no one here, sit down and chat for a while..."

"Oh, you don't have to be so restrained..." Mrs. Longbottom stared at the somewhat embarrassed middle-aged wizard and shook her head with a complicated expression, "If you are because—"

Since the public trial a few months ago, almost everyone has known the names of the heroes who died in the fight against the dark forces.

Among them, the Longbottom couple who suffered misfortune in the final madness of "Death Eaters" are undoubtedly the most embarrassing.

The Ministry of Magic and the Auror Office also took the opportunity to promote a wave of Aurors, a pair of Auror couples who suffered misfortune before dawn was clearly more in line with the Ministry of Magic's "political" than other combatants who died in the dark years. Caliber"—under the guidance of some invisible hand, the Aurors gradually gained the respect they deserved for their dedication and sacrifice in the magical society.

In fact, if the Longbottoms hadn't been transferred to the Salzburg Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, their wards would have been filled with monthly condolences.

As time went by, Augusta Longbottom also walked out of the brief relief, and began to become calm and even somewhat unexplained exhaustion.

However, before Mrs. Longbottom could finish her words, there was another noisy conversation and footsteps behind everyone.

The classroom door was pushed open again, and a large group of young wizards and parents of students poured in in a mess.

"Ron?" Neville shouted, turning his head to the door, somewhat confused.

"How do you—"

"Professor McGonagall just notified us to temporarily change the venue, saying that the two classes of the second grade directly joined together for a parent meeting this time..."

Ron was holding an open magic book with a small, furry magic eye floating on it, looking a little gloomy.

After several discussions, Mr. Weasley finally chose to go to Ginny's side, after all this was Ginny's first school year at Hogwarts.

Mrs. Weasley followed George's suggestion to go to the "Master of Magic Class" to investigate witches of the right age.

As for Ron, Percy, and Fred and George's parent-teacher meeting, it naturally became a "remote magic companion".

And what's even more unfortunate is that Ron was connected to Charlie's channel, and he didn't even dare to say a word of complaint.

However, most of the time, people's joys and sorrows are obviously not common.

Compared to Ron Weasley's sullenness~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hermione, who proposed this plan and helped to implement it, is in a pretty good mood now.

As a top-ranking student in the second year of Hogwarts, before Elena arrived, she naturally became a "children's family" surrounded by many students' parents. As for Mr. Granger's smile, the smile was even brighter. Like the noon sun.

In contrast, the expression on Lucius Malfoy's face, who was ignored by him, became more and more gloomy.

Obviously, without knowing it, Dumbledore was taking in too many students from the Muggle world.

Perhaps, after this parent-teacher meeting was over, he'd figure out a way to remind the board -- and of course the "lady".

After all, Dumbledore is best at using this subtle behavior to influence others. He has to remind the Demon King and Princess that he must be alert to Dumbledore's conspiracy and not be too gullible with those in the Muggle world, otherwise he is likely to lose people from the Muggle world. Support from the wizarding world.
