The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Mafalda Hopekirk has been with the Ministry of Magic since graduating from Hogwarts, and is now Assistant to the Director of the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic.

Hopkirk's daily job is to mail a warning letter to the offender on behalf of the director after receiving the illegal information, explaining the act they violated. If the situation is more serious, the emergency team needs to be notified to take action.

However, just today, Hopekirk encountered a very depressing thing.

Someone wrote back and told her: Your Ministry of Magic has made an Oolong incident.

The sender, Albert Anderson, was studying at Hogwarts.

In the letter, Anderson clearly pointed out that he and his family were on vacation in France at the time, and he did not carry a wand when he left the country, let alone use the Flying Spell. The Ministry of Magic must have made a mistake. He hoped that the Ministry of Magic could resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides. and write him back.

In fact, Hopekirk didn't think Anderson was lying, because the most favorable evidence was that Anderson couldn't use the Flying Charm at all, and the other party had just finished his first year at Hogwarts.

First-year freshmen use the Flying Spell?

Not even Hopkirk himself.

Without the ability to use the Flying Spell, it is naturally impossible to cast spells.

So there is no doubt that the Office of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic is mistaken, and it is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, and Hopekirk is not too surprised.

But... what does this have to do with me?

Hope Kirk is only responsible for sending letters and notifications, she is not responsible for dealing with this aspect and has no such authority.

Oh, no, it really has something to do with her.

Hopekirk has the right to decide whether to give the letter to the director of the now-abuse of magic office, or to throw the letter in some trash can.

Based on what she knew about her boss, 80% of them wouldn't care about this kind of thing!

After all, it's just a small matter no matter how you look at it, and there's no need to delve into it too much.

When Mafalda Hopekirk prepares to deal in private.

Well, the so-called private processing,

In fact, it is to destroy the letter, or throw it into a trash can, after all, she is only an assistant herself.

Although he has some understanding of the laws that impose reasonable restraints on underage wizards, he is only an assistant after all, and his duty is to help write warning letters and other tasks.

When Hopekirk was about to throw the letter into the trash, she suddenly remembered something from last year. She still remembered the oolong incident caused by Zongsi, which was quite a big deal at the time.

In the end, it was exposed by the Daily Prophet, and Nutley, who was in charge of handling the matter, got himself into trouble and was almost transferred to the Centaurus Liaison Office.

"It doesn't seem very good to throw it away, let's leave it to the director!" Hopekirk hesitated for a while, but still thought it was her responsibility. As for how her boss would deal with it, it was none of her business.

Of course, Hopekirk could also guess what would happen when the letter was sent.

As Hopekirk expected, his boss didn't even glance at the letter at all, and threw the letter beside the desk.

By the time Hopekirk saw the letter again, it had been thrown in the trash.

However, what Hopkirk did not know, such a result was also expected by Albert.

It's just that Hopkirk didn't know when they had stood in front of the big hole dug by others, and just behind them, someone was ready to lift their foot and kick them into the hole.

...

After returning home, Albert began to write letters back to those who sent his letters.

Naturally, the Weasley brothers also received Albert's mailing list, along with the gift that Albert bought for the twins - a rubber duck.

Well, the yellow rubber duck was actually a gift that Albert bought at the grocery store near his house. Of course he knew that Fred and George would not like the gift, because it was for Mr. Weasley.

Albert wanted the twins to ask Mr. Weasley what to do in this situation.

In their reply, Fred and George expressed sympathy for what happened to Albert (schadenfreude), and wrote in their reply:

...Dad thinks it's just a little thing to keep you from worrying. He suggested that you should write a letter to the Director of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic and make it clear to him...

At the end of the letter, they also wrote: "By the way, Dad asked me to ask you what the rubber duck is for in the Muggle world."

"A trivial matter?" Albert muttered. "That's right, it's really a trivial matter for those who have nothing to do with them."

Albert put the twins' letter aside and proceeded to open the second letter.

Professor Broad's reply was a little unexpected to Albert, and he also thought it was just a small matter, so that Albert didn't have to worry about this issue.

In Professor Broad's reply, he told some information about the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and also expressed that he liked the gift Albert gave him, and briefly mentioned McDoug's new book at the end.

"Small thing?" Albert put the letter aside and muttered as he picked up the gold card, "Let's see Hetok Dagworth's reaction now. See if he also thinks his gold card is lost, It's also a small thing?"

From Professor Broad's letter, it is not difficult for Albert to speculate on the value of the gold card in his hand.

He believed that Hetok Dagworth would not remain indifferent.

...

...

There are several letters, and it is impossible to reply immediately.

The last letter was written by Rowena Smith. In addition to chatting about some common interests, Rowena Smith also mentioned in the letter that there would be an unexpected surprise for Albert in a while.

Albert can probably guess what the so-called unexpected surprise was: Rowena Smith is set to join Hogwarts as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

After reading all the letters, Albert put the letters in the box, got up and stretched, drank the milk tea that had cooled down, touched Tom who was lying on the cushion beside the table, and refocused on The rest of the summer homework.

This is the homework left over before Albert went on vacation to France. Because he did not have the habit of doing homework while on vacation, he temporarily put down his summer homework when he went to France on vacation.

On vacation in France, Albert brought only the few books on ancient rune that McDougall had given him.

As long as you study these books carefully, your experience with Rune skills will increase at a gratifying rate.

Now, it is a big step closer to level 3 Rune.

It's not that Albert doesn't like to use experience to upgrade directly, but he prefers the feeling of studying magic.

Every time there is a slight breakthrough in the rune, Albert will feel an inexplicable sense of achievement, and this kind of achievement is what Albert wants.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Nia pushed open the door, stuck her head in, and said to Albert who was sitting at the table, "Dad let me tell you, go to bed early today, we're going shopping at Diagon Alley tomorrow."

"Got it." Albert knew why Nia was so excited, because she would also go to Diagon Alley in London with her.

"Tom, it's time to go to bed!" Nia reached out and picked up Tom, who was lying on the cushion, and put it on the floor, "Go on your own, you've become so heavy, I can't hold you anymore."

"That's why I said Tom should lose weight." Albert said with a smile, "Go back to rest early."

"Leave Tom, or tomorrow's rations will be halved." Nia's threat was quite effective. Tom obediently got up and left behind Nia.

Albert looked at the reopened door and focused on his homework.

These vacation assignments aren't really that difficult, they just take time to write the answers down on parchment.

Is he thinking about staying up all night to finish all his vacation homework at once? Finally, thinking of Nia's expectation of shopping at Diagon Alley tomorrow, she gave up.

Half an hour later, Albert closed the ink bottle, inserted the quill back into the pen holder, got up lazily and covered a yawn.

Sheila had just returned from foraging, and since Albert told her last time not to bring her prey home, she hadn't brought a dead mouse to her house.

"Good night!" Albert looked at his owl, then at the night sky outside the window, covered a yawn, and lay back on the bed to rest.
