Chapter 253: The Ministry of Magic's Invitation

~7 min read 1,226 words

The Daily Prophet has become a battlefield for debates, with similar articles published every day.

As the debate progressed, Allen also felt he was gradually becoming a target for pure-blood wizards; the students of Slytherin House were treating him worse and worse, but Allen did not care about these things, only becoming more low-key.

The Ministry of Magic was probably secretly rejoicing in the face of this situation.

However, the Ministry's propaganda was not without benefits; Allen overheard Professor McGonagall say that the donations Hogwarts received this year were five times those of the same period last year, showing that the Ministry's propaganda did bring some benefits to Hogwarts.

However, Allen still stayed away from these troubles; he did not like the feeling of being famous, he turned down many interviews, because he knew his foundation was his own power, and fame would naturally come when the time was right; current fame was just floating clouds to him.

Allen was just carrying out his own research low-key; during this period he had collected more parameters of magical creature body parts.

He also began designing new Chimeras; he discovered he could not arbitrarily replace parts on a Chimera, for instance, a Chimera could not have parts from two Pokémon with conflicting attributes at the same time; of course, these were just the simplest rules, and there were many other rules he had not yet fully explored.

Yoder's cultivation of the Patronus intelligence was also proceeding steadily, but the speed of the Patronus intelligence's progress was actually not as good as expected; perhaps Allen's expectations back then were too high.

However, Allen was not in a hurry, because his current research had not yet encountered blocking problems; he believed that as time passed, his research progress would grow greater and greater, and he still had quite a lot of time now.

Time thus entered May; the heat of the reports about Allen finally cooled down, but Sirius Black still had not appeared; he seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Ron guessed that Sirius Black had already gone to search for Voldemort's remnant soul; Allen felt this guess was quite likely.

With the decline of Allen's heat, the Ministry of Magic's incompetence made the public dissatisfied again.

And at this time, the Ministry of Magic began its second wave of propaganda—they began promoting the fact that Allen was the youngest Animagus in history.

Allen had previously wondered why the Ministry of Magic did not even mention that he was an Animagus in the first wave of propaganda; now he knew the reason lay here.

The Ministry's plan seemed very Zhou Mi; they had predicted in advance that Allen's heat would decline and that Sirius Black still had not been caught; they wanted to maintain Allen's heat.

Their strategy was successful; the heat that had just declined for Allen was pulled up again.

Although people had already become somewhat numb to Allen's achievements, the fact that Allen was the youngest Animagus still successfully aroused people's interest; especially when they learned that Allen's Animagus form was a panda, they became even more frantic.

And at this time, Allen received an unexpected invitation...

This invitation was written on a piece of parchment in the form of an official document; it should be said it was an order for Allen to go to the Ministry of Magic one week later to register as an Animagus.

Allen took this official document to find Professor Dumbledore; regarding this, Professor Dumbledore had no good method either; after all, Animagus registration was explicitly stipulated by law, and he could not stop the execution of this law.

So in the end, Allen still agreed to the Ministry of Magic's invitation.

After Ron learned of this matter, he suggested that when Allen went to register, he could find his father, Mr. Weasley; Mr. Weasley would certainly give Allen some help in this matter.

And Allen unexpectedly received a letter from Mr. Weasley; the letter expressed congratulations to Allen, and additionally told Allen to be prepared; he heard colleagues say that Allen's registration this time would be quite a big affair, with a series of follow-up promotional work, and he told Allen to be prepared for not being able to return to Hogwarts for a short time.

Mr. Weasley's letter made Allen feel helpless; he developed resistance toward the Ministry of Magic trip; he felt the Ministry of Magic was a complete waste of time; he was just going to be a tool for Fudge to promote his political achievements; the Ministry of Magic had promoted him for so long, yet did not say anything about reducing some of his debts or anything.

This series of activities would also affect his research work; this was Allen's initial thought, then Allen suddenly realized that after he left, Harry and Ron would lose a layer of protection; he had recently been acting together with Harry and Ron, and with Allen's current combat power, he could absolutely ensure Sirius Black would come but not return.

And now he was actually going to leave Hogwarts for a period of time; Sirius Black seemed to have spies in the castle; would his departure reveal a defensive gap, allowing Sirius Black to take advantage of the situation and strike?

However, after thinking carefully, Allen felt he was perhaps thinking too highly of himself; the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts had invested a great deal of power to capture Sirius Black; Sirius probably did not dare to approach Hogwarts.

Additionally, Sirius Black really had not appeared for too long; Allen even thought he had already given up on Harry and Ron as these two targets.

So Allen began to prepare for his Ministry of Magic trip with peace of mind; going to the Ministry of Magic once was fine; he could just treat it as gaining some knowledge.

But one thing that happened at night made Allen change his mind very quickly.

At night, as usual, he sat at his desk reading a book, while Harry and Ron were worrying about their Divination class homework; they could not think of any newer ways to encounter misfortune.

"Look! What is that at the edge of the Quidditch pitch? It seems to be that detestable cat of Hermione's." Ron suddenly said, staring out the window.

There were no clouds in tonight's sky; the bright moonlight bathed the earth.

Allen looked in the direction Ron pointed, and indeed saw the figure of a cat at the edge of the Quidditch pitch.

However, the distance was still too far; Allen still could not confirm whether it was Crookshanks.

"It really seems to be Crookshanks; Hermione said Crookshanks has been running off and disappearing recently; how did it get outside the castle?" Harry also said, puzzled.

The color of Allen's eyes quietly changed; his eyes had already transformed into an eagle's eyes.

He and Crookshanks had eaten from the same trough... no... they had shared catnip; he was still very concerned about Crookshanks' condition.

The distant scenery suddenly became clear; the cat at the Quidditch pitch was indeed Crookshanks; it was walking slowly on the grass toward the Forbidden Forest.

Allen was very curious why it would appear on the Quidditch pitch in the middle of the night.
