Chapter 27 Outrageous Society
'There is no lemon flavored ice cream...'
Andrew was not full of health after lunch, but he still simply cleaned himself up and walked towards the empty classroom as agreed.
Although based on his current understanding, he was disappointed with the society he joined that claimed to be eager for the Ministry of Magic, but he still wanted to see if there was anything he could get away with.
But by the time he passed, the empty classroom was already half full.
"Andrew, this way, this way!"
Connie, who had officially elected him into the club, called him from behind near the door, and Andrew sat down in the empty seat behind him.
Only then did he notice that the seats had been magically arranged into several small areas around the middle blank area, and several senior Ravenclaws were sitting at the front of several areas.
‘Isn’t it? ’
An outrageous idea came to Andrew's mind, but unfortunately, after five or six minutes, he confirmed his idea.
The temple is small and the wind is strong, and the pond is shallow and there are many bastards.
Although this sentence is suspected of scolding himself, Andrew can't think of a more appropriate adjective.
Can you believe that this broken society is actually divided into several factions?
And this allocation is reasonable - everyone wants to join the Ministry of Magic, so there must be a choice, right?
Those who plan to arrest classmates in the future are of course leaning towards the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. People in this group regard Ravenclaw, who does not follow the right path, as the best opponent in the future and the most radical. The higher the grade, the more so. , let alone looking at other Ravenclaws, even the people in this club, their eyes are scrutinizing...
I also confess that I don’t intend to pretend. I think the Office of the Minister of Magic and the Logistics Department are good places. The senior students have successfully obtained office intern qualifications during the summer vacation. Regardless of whether they will be selected in the future, they are probably in the club at the moment. The most arrogant one calls the juniors behind him like he is a subordinate.
There are also those who are inclined towards the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, who believe that the necessary abilities are still needed. The Ministry of Magic always needs a group of people who do practical things. They are the reserves to maintain peace in the magical world - these are also the group with the best attitudes. .
People who tended to attend the sports department basically didn't come - unless there were major meetings, those people were practicing Quidditch hard or participating in intra-hospital Quidditch events. Of course, there were also two clubs that participated in small competitions such as Gobblestone or Thunderbolt. Yes, people also have excuses. This is highly professional and daily practice is very important.
These are a few classics, not to mention the non-classics that tend to be from other departments.
As for Connie, who recommended Andrew, there is no doubt that he belongs to the Office of the Minister of Magic and the Logistics Department who are best at discriminating.
There are a few people who tend to the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures who really love magical creatures, but Connie and his group who brought him in are basically...
"You are a smart enough person, classmate Taylor. They all agree with what you say. We should indeed discriminate against them equally."
Connie said with a smile on his face, "You will know how wise your choice is in the future. Minister Fudge is young and promising. When you graduate, I think he will still be the Minister, just like our last Minister of Magic." ”
Andrew still knew this, because the minister, Millicent Bagno, became minister until he no longer wanted to work.
"That's a must...I absolutely support the Minister of Magic."
Andrew expressed this without hesitation - although he hid a sentence about who is supported by the Minister of Magic and who is not, but there is no difference in principle, right?
"I'm just sorry. I've had headaches since I was a child when I did paperwork... I already fell asleep once in the History of Magic class..." Andrew said quickly in a low voice, "But I'm pretty good at spells. I plan to Try your luck with the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters."
"Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters?" Connie glanced at Andrew - there was no conflict with him there. Forget it, he couldn't understand the guy with the most promising position. He was a little smart but not enough...
"Well, go ahead, you're serving the Ministry of Magic wherever you are, aren't you?"
He said with a smile, but the eager look completely disappeared.
'There are still normal people...'
Andrew happily abandoned Connie's side, and after saying hello to the seniors in front of him on the other side, he sat down even more happily.
It's not often that you get two pieces of good news at once - it's really great to be able to stay away from abnormal people while knowing that the academy can still be saved.
After that, it was very simple - the club summarized the number of people who obtained Ministry of Magic positions and Ministry of Magic interns last summer, praised the Ministry of Magic and looked forward to the future.
Then the small organization recommends to the freshmen the key courses to study and the books to read after class based on their own tendencies - with the help of these things, whether they get an intern position or join the Ministry of Magic in the future, they can gain certain advantages.
To put it simply, the senior freshmen will teach you how to pass the written test and interview...
Andrew noticed that most of the magic recommended on the other side were office magic - sorting parchment, making paper airplanes, making coffee at the right temperature...
'Writing grand words together for a long time, learn to work first...'
Andrew and the others were a different story - but he was different.
"Try the principles of Occlumency first. Usually we don't recommend first-year students to join, but since you are here, try this final test. If you learn it before the end of fifth grade, you will be basically exempt from other tests and you can be recommended to be an intern. But not many people have succeeded with this clause.”
"What you need is to lay a solid foundation in the first grade. As for the key Defense Against the Dark Arts - my personal suggestion is to learn it on your own. No matter whether you are a student in the same grade or a senior student, they won't give you much help, because this is Their unique skills.”
The leading boy named Ham gave Andrew this advice.
"As a qualified Ravenclaw, you know why, but I can guarantee that if your final report card for the first half of the year is good enough, I will give you a list of books I recommend."
Yes, Andrew knows - in theory, they are competitors, and Defense Against the Dark Arts, an unexcellent course at Hogwarts, is a necessary assessment content, and not many people are willing to share it - no matter which house it is, although Ravenclaw is probably the worst.
"Okay, I will lay the foundation carefully."
Andrew agreed happily - although he would definitely not do it.
He would only provoke Professor Quirrell when he was crazy. Self-study was the limit, and it had to be after transfiguration - that was a potential course with the guidance of a good professor.
For him, this club is the background for getting through the lower grades. The Ministry of Magic is not as important as the magic itself.
…
"Okay, everyone, this is the end of the first party of the new semester - see you all at the Ministry of Magic."
"See you at the Ministry of Magic."
