Chapter 524 What, You Understand Again?
This night is destined to be recorded in history.
That night, ghosts and wolves howled in Hogwarts.
Not to mention the little wizard who has mastered novel powers, even Fudge excitedly pulled Anton and asked him to help him become a werewolf that he despised in the past.
Don't look at this guy who looks stupid to death when working in the magic department, as long as he sees benefits, his eyes are brighter than anyone else.
Later, he begged Anton to help Umbridge, who was learning the werewolf Animagus, look after him.
This is his most powerful assistant.
Finally, as the moon in the sky gradually turned into a blurry phantom, the light of the sky faintly covered the world with a touch of delicate blue and white, officially announcing the end of the magical transformation party.
Dumbledore called the house-elves to bring food, and used Transfiguration to create five long tables like a large auditorium, and held a simple celebratory breakfast.
The little wizards chattered excitedly about how it felt to be a werewolf.
Fudge pulled Anton to the corner, and Umbridge quickly took out a document from a small bag.
"I promised before that the Ministry of Magic will pay the tuition fee for everyone who comes to Hogwarts to study the werewolf Animagus."
He took the folder, stood beside Anton, and opened it for Anton to see, "See if you like it."
Anton rolled his eyes and shook his head, "Power? Money? Minister, you know, I'm not interested in this aspect."
Fudge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly closed the file, feeling a little headache.
"Of course, of course, I understand."
"What you care about is magic. Of course you don't like these, but I really can't come up with it now..."
As if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and looked towards the Black Lake, only to see a subordinate in Umbridge's office waving a wand and putting a large part of the remaining Mandrakes into the box.
"Go, bring it here, and treat it as the tuition fee for the Aurors this time."
Umbridge hesitated a bit, "Oh, minister, in such a name to Anton, some people may have objections, you also know that mandrakes are now on the market..."
"I said, bring it here!"
Fudge didn't treat Umbridge as kindly and amiably as he did to Anton, with a stern look on his face, "Do you understand?"
Umbridge took a step back in fright, and ran towards the shore of the Black Lake in a panic.
"Did you see it too?"
"Umbridge will also play some low-level tricks. She has no idea what the werewolf Animagus means to the wizarding world."
"Old Ronaldo is very smart, but he has always had that kind of virtue, eating and dying all day long."
"As for other people, oh, to be honest, the Ministry of Magic is simply a quagmire. After becoming a minister, I realized that it is not so easy to do something. I have to be very careful to find an opportunity."
Having said this, Fudge looked at Anton with bright eyes.
Anton smiled slightly, "Actually, I don't quite understand either."
Fudge shrugged, "You don't know, the issue of werewolves has always been a headache for the Ministry of Magic, and they have to pay a large amount of fixed expenses every year, including medical subsidies for the treatment of werewolf bites in hospitals, and treatment for Aurors or Pensions for family members who died in battle, all kinds of places you didn't think of..."
"It's like a wound on your body that never heals, bleeding the Ministry of Magic every moment."
"Oh, I'm pulling away."
"I want you to know, Anton, that your 'Muggle Squib' has now put you on the cusp, and you should be thankful to have... well... Dumbledore, he's up front to help you, no one else can Go around him and find you."
"But the werewolf Animagus is different."
"This is about to undergo a huge change in magic, just wait, your life will be completely different!"
The more Fudge spoke, the more excited he became, Anton just looked at him calmly.
"I think……"
"I have the ability to keep those things that I don't like away from me."
"Haha~" Fudge laughed strangely, "Anton, although there may be some things you don't like, what if you like them?"
"Invitations from various associations, just like the box magic you come into contact with in the Auror office, they also have their own collection of magic."
"Letters from various masters and experts, maybe they will come up with the most cutting-edge research or the most in-depth magic issues, and invite you to discuss together."
"All kinds of top-level seminars, just like the learning exchange meetings you hold in school, you can even do nothing, and quietly listen to the knowledge that you can learn in no other place except there."
"You meet people who aren't even part of Dumbledore's lore, like Nicole Flamel, like Babajid Akinbad."
"..."
Well, Anton was really moved.
"Hey~" Fudge patted Anton's shoulder affectionately, "Listen to me, boy, magic research is not just based on liking, you need a lot of resources."
"For example, Nicolas May, I believe you have heard of it. The beginning of his achievements came from an ancient magic book called "The Book of Jewish Abraham."
"You need more channels to acquire magic knowledge, and you need more magic materials, such as this."
Fudge took the box from Umbridge and placed it gently in Anton's.
"The Ministry of Magic still has many such precious mandrakes, and some very special material channels are firmly controlled by the Ministry of Magic."
"You also need money and various resources. Any research is extremely resource-intensive, and Hogwarts is just a school. It looks rich, but it is not something a student can draw at will."
Anton was silent for a moment, looking up at Fudge's flattering smiling face, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Fudge narrowed his eyes, "You know about the Apparition Test Center of the Department of Magical Transport, right?"
Anton nodded, "Old Ronaldo introduced it to me, saying that this test center has supported a large number of instructors and sold countless medicines."
"Good answer." Fudge snapped his fingers.
"I hope to take this opportunity to set up a werewolf Animagus office similar to the apparition test center, copy the model, and undertake business from the society who want to learn werewolf Animagus."
Fudge broke his fingers and gave Anton a little bit of analysis, "First of all, we can sell potions. If there are many people who study, we can even set up a medicinal material cultivation center under the name of this office. We can also profit from the financial Part of it will be set aside to build a 'R&D Center', where you can withdraw whatever experiments you want."
"Due to the particularity of this department, it will be independent of the seven departments. That is to say, if you serve as the director of this office, you will be able to request other departments to cooperate with the supply of various experiments through the internal system of the Ministry of Magic. all resources."
"Believe me, the werewolf Animagus is definitely a favorite, and everyone will cooperate with you."
"..."
Anton still shook his head, "Sounds good, but..."
He smiled slightly, "You seem to have forgotten that I am still a student, and I have a lot of studies every day. These are enough for my current research goals and lay a solid foundation."
"Of course, of course, I understand." Fudge laughed.
Anton was stunned, what, you understand again?
