In the face of Amosta's wonderful display and the permission for curse research and improvement that showed no flaws, Rita Skeeter could only give up. However, she had never failed in the industry for decades, and she was obviously unwilling to do so. Yes, from the smile on her face when she returned the permit, it seemed that she was eyeing Amosta.
"Be careful, Amosta--"
After the grand press conference ended, the British Ministry of Magic, as the host, held a grand luncheon according to etiquette. During this period, Amelia came to Amosta, who was chatting with Mr. Weasley, and reminded,
"That woman, Rita Skeeter, is troublesome. She is not someone to be dismissed easily."
Amosta nodded slightly and glanced at Rita Skeeter, who was quickly moving among the crowd of people drinking and drinking, trying to find out more inside information. A strange light flashed in her eyes.
Indeed, this well-known female reporter from the Daily Prophet is indeed unique. Amidst the praise, she still wants to dig out some explosive inside information about herself and the Ministry of Magic. Although the purpose is not for the truth, but just based on this There may not be time for cooperation in the future.
During the luncheon, Amosta announced a decision to the public that brought the atmosphere to a climax.
He decided to divide the total bounty of 20,000 gold galleons awarded by the Ministry of Magic about Greyback and his werewolf tribe into two parts, and donate one part to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, hoping that St. Mungo's could help in the treatment of magic. The damage is better.
The other part goes to the Hogwarts Needy Students Grant Fund to help children with magical talents from humble backgrounds realize their dreams of becoming qualified wizards.
The salary of an official at the level of Director of the Ministry of Magic or an ordinary professor other than the four deans of Hogwarts would not exceed one thousand galleons a year. Amosta's donation was really heavy, even for Lu Xiu. A generous pure-blood wizard like S. Malfoy rarely does so generously when he has nothing to ask for.
The next few days were a time of carnival for the entire European and American magical press.
The news that the British Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts teamed up to annihilate Greyback was reported in many prestigious newspapers.
Of course, the topic is not limited to this. On the day of the press conference, the extraordinary powerful fire spell that Amosta Blaine demonstrated in public in response to the questioning of the famous reporter Rita Skeeter was also talked about. Ordinary people may only be able to watch the excitement, but some skilled wizards and scholars were extremely shocked by the magic control displayed by Amosta Brain during the magic demonstration.
"Magic Innovation", a magazine with a pivotal position in the academic world, spent half of its latest issue publishing the process of deducing the configuration of the curse by many well-known scholars.
The result of the deduction was a failure, and the conclusion was that, except for Albus Dumbledore, who has rarely published research results in recent years, the innovation level of the curse of the young Director of the Student Safety Office of Hogwarts is below The entire magical world is second to none!
For a time, the argument that Amosta Brain's magical power has surpassed that of the old Albus Dumbledore was rampant in the wizarding world, but Albus Dumbledore, who never made any response, remained silent. attitude also contributes to this argument.
Amosta has finally experienced the 'consequences' of becoming famous.
In just three or four days, the temporary residence arranged for him by the Ministry of Magic was filled with letters from all over the world. The constant flow of owls even attracted the Muggle Animal Protection Department to come to investigate the situation.
Among those letters, some simply expressed admiration, some hoped to discuss innovative ideas for magic spells with Amosta, some wanted to compare notes with Amosta, and some were inconvenient to say.
The Anti-Dark Arts Alliance sent five official letters to the British Ministry of Magic within three days on the grounds that Amosta was the honorary vice-president of the organization, 'forcing' Amosta to fulfill his obligations and choose an opportunity to attend the conference in Munich. Speaking at the annual Defense Against the Dark Arts Knowledge Forum.
Since "Wizard Weekly" was never able to see Amosta in person, it could only take out the photos taken by reporters when Amosta was being interviewed on the day of the press conference and put them on the cover of the magazine, and rated them as the most charming smile.
As if just overnight, Amosta's name was known to everyone.
After the Daily Prophet learned from Amosta's classmates that Amosta Brain was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and relied on the school's scholarship fund to successfully graduate from Hogwarts, Considering his generous donation, this incident pushed Amosta's reputation to a new height.
Some good people even suggested that Amosta should be elected as the next Minister of Magic after Fudge.
Of course, this kind of suggestion is just to join in the fun. Apart from having a certain market among the public, the situation within the British Ministry of Magic is calm. Even Fudge, who has always valued his position, does not take it seriously.
With the exception of Dumbledore, it is not easy for an 'outsider' who has never worked in the Ministry of Magic to get close to this circle. In the world of balance, no matter how loud the public's voice is, you must get a pure-blood wizard. Only family support will do.
Ordinary people in the wizarding world may think that half-blood and pure Muggle-born wizards have increasingly become the mainstream in the wizarding world in recent years, because the Ministry of Magic is already filled with many wizard officials of ordinary origins.
But in fact, truly smart people have a clear mind and many things never change.
The top officials of the Ministry of Magic are basically from well-known families, and those 'sacred purebloods' who are not often seen in the spotlight have always controlled the lives of ordinary wizards, but they have become more hidden.
Another trouble for Amosta is that many magic prop factories have sprung up, expecting Amosta Brain to speak for them.
Behind these behemoths in the magical world are families of pure-blood wizards, and they have many exchanges of interests with officials within the Ministry of Magic.
Behemoths such as Mrs. Skoll's All-Purpose Miracle Stain Remover, Butterbeer, Cornflower, Comet Trading, Sweep Broom Co., Ltd., the bankrupt and reorganized Cosmic Broom Co., Ltd., and Nimbus Racing Broomsticks all offered generous sums. As a bargaining chip, he passed the message to him through the Ministry of Magic, hoping to reach an endorsement cooperation.
If Amosta was willing, he could become a rich man immediately. However, Amosta rejected these cooperation invitations without exception because they were just a burden to him.
Magic was all that mattered, and Amosta never forgot that.
In order to avoid harassment, Amosta stayed in a hotel room booked by the Ministry of Magic in London for entertaining VIPs and did not go out for five days. During these five days, he had been doing one thing, which was to stay in the hotel room. Write a reply.
Although most letters are worthless, a considerable number cannot be ignored.
As for the Ministry of Magic, Fudge, who has been the Minister of Magic for more than ten years, has also enjoyed treatment in these days that he had never enjoyed before. No matter where he went, people would congratulate him on the achievements of the Ministry of Magic in a respectful tone. , which also made Fudge feel more and more grateful to Amosta Brain.
The Ministry of Magic has taken advantage of Amosta, and this is something that the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic know very well.
If it weren't for Amosta, they would still be deeply involved in Sirius's escape from Azkaban, and the fact that the real murderer of the Potters was about to be revealed to the public. Peter Pettigrew and Sirius... Blake is actually innocent in both of these huge scandals.
Previously, Fudge thought that the reward he had given to Amosta was worthy of his 'loss', and even too generous. However, seeing the Ministry of Magic's rising approval rating, Fudge knew that he still wanted Amosta's favor. It's far from finished.
