Louis probably knew what Dumbledore was talking about as the next test, but to be honest, even Newt had never seen such a huge and powerful magical animal.
After the meeting, everyone went to bed one after another. Dumbledore never stayed overnight at the Order of the Phoenix, and no one knew where he went after the meeting.
Lupine, Sirius and others were synchronizing information with Louis. Meiselis was not surprised by her son's current identity. She believed that it was always right to be careful. As the secret weapon of the Order of the Phoenix against the Death Eaters, Louis could be at a critical moment. Give them a fatal blow at any time.
"Scrimgeour came here a few days ago. He wanted to win over Harry and you." Sirius said from the side, with all kinds of disdain in his words.
Although the Ministry of Magic is now on the same side as the Order of the Phoenix, after all, in external affairs, the Ministry of Magic represents the official face. The previous Minister Fudge had a falling out with Dumbledore's camp during his last year in office. Now that Scrimgeour has taken office, he urgently needs an image and political achievements to establish himself.
"But he didn't succeed, Louis. You know, Harry and the others are not that stupid."
Sirius seemed very satisfied with his godson's performance, and he himself was more or less dissatisfied with Scrimgeour.
"Dumbledore didn't want us to be at odds with the Ministry of Magic," Lupine added. "Think of how badly we could have acted in that environment last year."
Everyone was silent. Yes, in the face of the reality of Scrimgeour and Iron Bones, the attitude of the Ministry of Magic today was indeed much better than before.
"What does Scrimgeour want?"
"Oh, nothing more than those things." Sirius replied, "Harry is the savior now, because Voldemort is back, and people believe that he has the ability to stop and destroy that guy. This is a symbol, and the Ministry of Magic, now We just need to create this kind of image in front of the public to maintain our own stability.”
Louis could guess this, but Harry would definitely not agree. He was already sixteen years old and was not a child who could be taken advantage of. Scrimgeour's intention was obvious, how could Harry not see it.
"Mrs. Weasley doesn't seem very happy either." Louis changed the subject and no longer focused on Scrimgeour.
"It's Percy, here with Scrimgeour." Lupine said. "Bill and Fleur's wedding has already made her very anxious. Percy's appearance was almost the last straw that broke her spirit."
"Bill and Fleur? Getting married?"
Lewis was a little confused. The progress was much faster than he expected. It seemed that the two of them had not known each other for a long time.
Bill Weasley sat at the far end of the conference table and raised his eyebrows at Louis.
"About half a year later, Fleur is French and a French wizard noble." Mr. Weasley yawned, "This process is more complicated than I thought."
He didn't mind that his eldest daughter-in-law was a foreigner. Moreover, Fleur could be said to be quite outstanding among her peers, and even the Weasley family felt a little high.
Louis kept digesting the news he got. It seemed that during the five days he was asleep, the people around him changed faster than he imagined.
Mrs. Weasley was indeed not in a good state. Even at the end of the holiday, she was still preoccupied, as if she was worried about something.
"Don't cry, Mom, it's okay." Ginny comforted her in a low voice, "It's okay..."
Mrs. Weasley was holding Ginny, sobbing on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about Percy, he's just a stupid pig," Ron said.
Everyone came forward to comfort Mrs. Weasley. Although everyone said so, her mood did not improve much.
"Be good, every one of you..."
She retreated to the back with tears in her eyes. This time, the Ministry of Magic installed a disposable floo network on the stove in No. 12 Grimmauld Place before they went out to take the Knight Bus, so that the students could get to school safely.
According to Sirius, Scrimgeour finally did something human this time.
Louis was the third to walk into the fireplace
He grabbed a handful of floo powder, took one last look at everyone in the Order of the Phoenix, read out the name of the destination, and in a blink of an eye he was surrounded by flames.
When he opened his eyes and looked around again, he had already appeared in the vice principal's office.
"Don't stain my floor, Mr. Wiggins."
Professor McGonagall didn't even raise her head. She was grading students' homework.
"No, Professor."
Louis shook out his robe. He got up and walked outside. Floo powder was still very fast. When he came outside, the sun had not yet set.
On the last day of the holidays, students were returning one after another, and the Hufflepuff common room was once again lively.
Rolf told Louis about the anecdotes of his Christmas vacation. He and his grandfather Newt explored the surroundings of Hogwarts and discovered many interesting things.
"You can't imagine, Senior Oliver, that there is a high mountain to the south of Hogwarts, and that there is a Muggle village further ahead."
Rolf looked very excited, and it was obvious that he had indeed inherited Newt's adventurous personality.
When Louis saw Harry and others again the next day, they stopped in front of a huge notice.
Apparition courses, if you are already seventeen years old or will be seventeen years old by August 31st, you can take a twelve-week course taught by an Apparition instructor from the Ministry of Magic.
If you are willing to register, please sign below. Registration fee: twelve gold galleons.
Louis didn't have to take the course, but Harry, Ron and Hermione signed without hesitation.
Apparition is indeed very practical, and it is also a very basic space magic. However, because it is very dangerous, the user will become separated, and it must be approved by the Ministry of Magic before it can be used.
After Fred and George passed the Apparition test, they showed off in front of them. Ron's brother Charlie failed to pass the test.
After several people signed, Lavender Brown suddenly appeared next to them at an untimely time, which made Ron very embarrassed. Hermione walked away quickly without looking back, and Louis, Harry and Astor Leah could only follow helplessly.
The topic was still about Apparition, and Hermione expressed her worries because she had also heard others say that the pass rate of this thing was not high.
"Is it difficult to apparate?" Astoria asked from the side.
Among these people, only Louis had successfully apparated, but he also suddenly understood it based on the influence of ancient magic.
"There will be a certain degree of difficulty." Louis explained, "This requires a lot of concentration. Of course, you need to be cautious when you first start learning, because it is dangerous. I have seen their high-level wizards fight, and that is when they have already mastered the skills. They're so good at disapparating, basically, it's hard to hit them with simple magic attacks."
"So I suggest that Apparition can be added to...'s teaching. Of course, I will be the teacher.
