As the new week began, Snape activated his indiscriminate targeting mode.
Any student who is not focused in class or makes even the slightest noise will have 5 points deducted and will be punished by copying the "Hogwarts School Rules".
The twins invented the Auto-Writing Quill overnight, Harry was very honored to be its first user.
There are two Auto-Writing Quill in total. One requires manual writing, while the other writes simultaneously.
Therefore, copying the school rules once is equivalent to copying them twice, and the extra copy can be saved for the next time you are punished.
It may seem useless, but it is particularly useful in Potions Class under Snape's oppressive rule.
If you buy dozens of them at once, then copying them once is equivalent to copying them dozens of times. It's simply a genius invention!
The following day, Filch finally found an opportunity and confiscated all the Auto-Writing Quill under the pretext of contraband.
Amid the agonizing cries of the twins and countless students, Vincent took a weekend off to visit the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
A month has passed, and the Auror in Britain are still recovering.
Kingsley and Barty Crouch were the most seriously injured, were able to get out of bed and walk around a few days ago, and Bagman's complexion has also improved a lot.
Jorkins, having been controlled by the Imperius Curse for too long, was still in a state of mental chaos, occasionally going on crazy shouts and screams.
Vincent carried the fruit basket up to the second floor and was greeted by Wales was limping with a cane.
The two last met last summer, also in the hospital, where Wales was also seriously injured, and Vincent was visiting him.
"Ahem—" Wales looked embarrassed and stammered, not knowing what to say.
Vincent stepped forward carrying a fruit basket. "What a coincidence, we meet again."
The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward, Wales blushed. "Well, I'm almost fully recovered and will be discharged in a few days."
"Huh?" Vincent squinted at his injured leg. "There seems to be some residual Dark Magic energy on it. Why don't you let the healer treat someone else first?"
Wales remained silent, which was taken as an affirmative answer.
Although this Auror was stubborn and inflexible, he was ultimately a good person.
Vincent smiled and shook his head. "Here, this is for you."
Wales took the fruit basket in a daze, "Wayne, you..."
Vincent waved goodbye, "You're welcome. I didn't just come to visit you."
He took another fruit basket from the Flamel Ring and walked straight past the other man.
Wales watched him open the door to the ward and walk in with a complicated expression, then suddenly smiled with relief.
This isn't a show; they genuinely came to visit someone in the hospital.
In the hospital room, Vincent watched in astonishment as Tonks punched Lupin again and again.
Sirius Black, sitting by the hospital bed, glanced at him before continuing to focus on Tonks' rehabilitation training.
Although they were all members of the Order of the Phoenix, Vincent always felt that the atmosphere here was strange.
He placed the fruit basket on the small table next to the hospital bed. "Aren't you filming today?"
Sirius Black unceremoniously picked up a bunch of grapes, saying, "The competition is too weak. I plan to take a break before filming season four."
The Merlin Legend and Wizarding Glory have bland and uninteresting plots; the former highlights Merlin's own power, while the latter almost completely replicates the daily life of Pure-blood Wizard.
Each episode of the Gryffindor Legend has its highlights, especially the duels of the main character, Gryffindor.
"Okay." Vincent sat down next to Sirius Black, picked a grape from his hand, and popped it into his mouth. "And what's going on with those two?"
"Rehabilitation training."
"Oh."
Tonks and Lupin finished quickly, mainly because Vincent's gossipy expression was a bit scary.
"Hmm~"
Lupin was completely baffled.
"Tsk tsk~"
Tonks was somewhat embarrassed.
So it turns out it was a one-sided crush.
Vincent talked about the Order of the Order of the Phoenix and learned that they had identified all Ministry of Magic employees who had connections to the Death Eaters.
But after Moody personally confirmed each one, all employees were cleared of suspicion.
The only one not confirmed is Barty Crouch, and there's no need to confirm it. His son and wife have been dead for many years. Putting aside the fact that no Death Eaters knows everything about him, saving Fudge is something no Death Eaters could do.
"By the way, have you found a new map to replace the magic?"
"We'll find a few, and come to the school as soon as we finish the test."
Tonks couldn't understand a word the three were saying.
She pouted slightly, a little annoyed, at the new map and the replacement magic.
Vincent noticed her displeasure, winked at her, and stood up. "It's getting late, I should go visit others."
He left the ward with a mysterious smile.
Tonks is Sirius Black's cousin, and Lupin is Sirius Black's good friend; their relationship is far more complicated than that of Harry, Ginny, and Ron.
However, Tonks and Sirius Black are both mavericks and probably won't care about what others think; they'll just see if Lupin can figure it out himself.
After enjoying the juicy Vincent, in high spirits, visited the Auror in their respective hospital rooms. The effects of the Dark Magic had largely dissipated, and they should all be able to recover and be discharged soon.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, it became clear that Jorkins's condition was far more serious than anticipated.
The Imperius Curse she was afflicted with was incredibly powerful, far more powerful than the one afflicted by the Merpeople leader Merkus.
Moreover, her life force has been excessively drained, requiring a very long treatment process.
Vincent guessed that Voldemort himself had cast the Imperius Curse on her, and with the life force drained from her, Voldemort might have gained a physical form, or at least he wouldn't be the inhuman, ghostly figure he was before.
Visiting patients is prohibited on the sixth floor of the hospital, so he left the fruit basket behind with great regret and went back.
Kingsley and Barty Crouch were seriously injured while saving Fudge, and they will certainly receive the best treatment in the Wizarding World.
It's hard to say about Bagman.
Even if the body can fully recover, the emotional trauma is difficult to heal.
It's already a miracle that he didn't go insane after being brutally tortured by Death Eaters for more than half a year.
Vincent left the hospital and contacted Rita, who was busy filming a documentary.
She was in a Muggle factory, where the automated assembly line was full of colorful candies.
"My dear boss, what can I do for you?"
Vincent at the projection screen and sent her some Muggle news channel programs, saying, "Take a look when you have time; we should prepare our own news program."
Rita's eyes gleamed with excitement.
The door has been opened; once she takes the first step, she will become the media Queen of a new era in the Wizarding World.
After hanging up the call, Vincent looked up at the red glow on the horizon.
The old era of the Ministry of Magic controlling public opinion is coming to an end; they can no longer cover everything up as they used to.
