Scotland Yard Has Never Been This Incompetent!

September 1st,

Hogwarts has finally reopened.

The most anxious people are not the students.

Of course... the students were quite nervous too.

Li and the twins have both graduated, and the summer standard answer service is no longer available. Many people still haven't finished their homework.

They need to catch up on their studies on the train over several days.

However, the Ministry of Magic is undoubtedly more nervous than the students.

With so many students traveling, security is a major concern.

The slow-moving train, which had to cross most of the United Kingdom, was a tempting target.

If Death Eaters were to suddenly attack the express train and kidnap students as hostages... the consequences would be unimaginable.

If it weren't for the immense public pressure, the Ministry of Magic would have wanted to take a blanket approach and have students study at home.

Or, take "online classes" using Magic Radio... just don't go to that damn Hogwarts.

But that's just wishful thinking.

The Ministry of Magic cannot simply take a blanket approach; it must also ensure the students' safety and smooth arrival at Hogwarts.

These are all tender sprouts, oh wait... flowers of the Wizarding World.

They must provide the highest level of protection; they cannot allow these Seven Leeks to be Death Eaters before they have even grown up.

The most conspicuous thing was near the exit of platform 9, where two the Beard Auror dressed in black Muggle suits stood with stern expressions.

These two Auror were tall, muscular, and wore sunglasses. They looked at everyone with wary expressions; if you didn't know better, you'd think you were watching The Matrix.

But here's the problem...

Due to the Wizarding Wars, the Muggle world has recently been in various states of chaos.

Buckingham Palace was destroyed, the Prime Minister was attacked, a bridge collapsed, and a hurricane struck.

The Dementor are multiplying in the sky, causing dark clouds to gather, resembling smog.

Many Muggle believe that terrorists are causing destruction throughout the United Kingdom.

Three years ago, the United States proposed a strategy to build an "information superhighway" based on the Internet.

The world is laying fiber optic cables on a large scale, and the United Kingdom is no exception.

Therefore, some more radical individuals believe that these optical fibers emit various types of radiation, causing the disaster.

In short:

Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The fiber optic cables laid by the foreigners are affecting the Great Dragon Vein!

Smash it right now!

Therefore, when the two menacing-looking men in black appeared at the station, they were immediately reported by concerned citizens of the Camden District.

Even the Scotland Yard police were alerted.

These police officers are also extremely angry. They haven't solved a single one of the recent cases.

This kind of face-to-face insult... Scotland Yard has never been so incompetent!

(Holmes: Meow meow meow?)

Although the police arrived, the Auror easily dismissed them with a few Confundus Charm.

The two giants saw William and immediately greeted him warmly, blushing and shyly asking for autographs.

William's reputation is widespread, and his prestige rivals that of Dumbledore. Isn't it normal for him to run into some fans?

But... the contrast between her physique and demeanor is quite striking!

William inquired and learned that he was a graduate of Hufflepuff.

That's alright then.

After saying goodbye to the Auror, the group passed through the wall and arrived at platform 9. Beyond the crowded area was the bright red Hogwarts Express.

When William appeared, everyone stared at him without any attempt to hide it.

Some people even pressed their faces against the train window just to catch a glimpse of him.

Reporters who had been lying in wait also seized the opportunity to shove their cameras in and ask William whether he supported Minister Bones.

William, of course, expressed his disapproval of Bones; if he didn't support Bones, who would he support?

A reporter asked pointedly, "Minister Bones, was he and Dumbledore jointly appointing him?"

The group of reporters clearly wanted to make a big story, but Tonks arrived with several Auror and chased them away.

Tonks ' hair turned a deep blue, like the sky; you'd think he was a super blue wizard.

"Hey, William, you haven't been on any missions lately," Tonks, somewhat annoyed.

After William joined the Auror, due to the special nature of his position, he was inconsistent in his efforts.

When Babbling takes his place, she usually doesn't go.

Now that Tonks is a squad leader, she's trying to take advantage of his seniority to get him to carry her bag.

"What are you doing here?" William asked curiously.

"I'll protect you." Tonks winked.

"We still have to go to Hogsmeade later to keep watch there... There's no other way, we're short-handed, so we have to keep running back and forth like this." Tonks shrugged.

With prices rising recently and her finances tight, she subtly hinted, "The ministry is putting us through this, yet they're not even giving us a raise."

"Brilliant..." William said, resting his chin on his hand. "Then next time I send you out to do work, I won't pay you for it."

I must emulate the Ministry of Magic; I cannot surpass it.

"..."

"Are you the only one guarding this place?" Hermione asked curiously.

"No, Proudfoot, Savage, and Dawlish are all here too," Tonks said.

"Dawlish?" William glanced into the distance.

Speaking of Dawlish, he really had a tough time.

Back then, I desperately wanted to curry favor with Fudge.

However, later, because of William, he was considered by Fudge to be a spy for the Order of the Phoenix.

After Fudge went in, Dawlish bought shares in Scrimgeour Head of the Auror Office.

But unexpectedly, it was a complete green cut... Bones took over.

Now, former team member Kingsley has become the director, while Dawlish is still doing these odd jobs with Tonks.

This is what happens when you're in the wrong position.

After saying goodbye to Tonks, the three finally squeezed onto the train.

But as soon as I stepped into the carriage, a chubby figure appeared.

Slughorn was wearing a velvet dress, and her large belly made her look like she was ten months pregnant, almost filling the entire carriage.

His gleaming bald head and thick, silvery-white beard, like the gold buttons on his vest, shone brightly in the sunlight.

"William, I'm hosting a small party in carriage number 1. You, Hermione, and Anne absolutely must come," he extended the invitation immediately.

William didn't want to go, and he apologized, "Professor, I'm the president of the male student council, I'm afraid I can't go."

There was also a badge on his chest.

The male and female student council presidents no longer wore the college's colors; instead, they wore brand-new silver badges.

The hat had a small flag attached to it, with the initials HB on it.

"Oh, of course I've considered that," Slughorn said enthusiastically.

"The gathering will be after your patrol. I know you'll take a break then, so it won't bother you."

William, this party was specially prepared for you and Hermione.

William had no choice but to nod and walk toward the Prefect's carriage.

William is now the president of the boys' council and has begun to manage everyone, requiring him to issue orders to the Prefect.

(Seeking monthly votes from all the big shots at the beginning of the month.)
