Chapter 502 The Ministry of Magic's Invitation

At the end of April, Loila stood excitedly on the floor of the school hospital, wearing her boots, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

Finally, I can leave the school hospital. Although it's nice to just lie there and not have to do anything, it's just too boring to stay there all the time.

"Professor Hamilton, according to yesterday's report—your condition has improved," Mrs. Pomfrey said softly, standing beside her. "This means—"

"Does that mean I can be discharged?"

“That’s right.” Mrs. Pomfrey coughed as she looked at the delighted Loila, reminding her, “But Professor Hamilton—even so, I must tell you.”

"If you come to the school hospital covered in injuries again—I can't guarantee I'll be able to save you."

"Ugh!" Startled by Madam Pomfrey, Loila shuddered, then quickly said, "I—I understand!"

"You'd better know," Madam Pomfrey shook her head helplessly. "You've said that so many times already—"

"Is there...?" Loila smiled awkwardly, then picked up her robe and hat and slowly put them on.

She tidied her clothes a little, and then happily pushed open the door of the school hospital.

"Clatter".

Good morning, Loila.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Ping with a smile on his face. He seemed to know that Luo Yila was going to be discharged from the hospital today and had been waiting here in advance. He had a smile on his face and looked very refined.

"Good morning, Remus." Seeing her friend, Loira was also very happy. She nodded and said, "You—you know I'm being discharged from the hospital today, right?"

"I don't know." Lupin shrugged. "I just came to give you this—it seems perfect now." He handed a box to Loila.

"This—this is—" As soon as Loila saw the box, she knew what was inside: her wand!

Mr. Lupin brought his new wand!

"Mr. Ollivander also asked me to tell you," Lupin said, looking at Loila who was holding the box with a happy expression, "that you must go and collect the other specially made wand yourself."

"It seems he has some questions about the magic circle he wants to ask you." Lupin paused, then continued, "Loira—are you listening?"

"Ah—sorry!" Loila snapped out of her reverie at receiving her new wand, but even so, she still had a big smile on her face, her blue eyes almost closing into slits with laughter.

Mr. Ollivander was indeed a master wand maker—his wand was almost identical to the previous one, and Loira felt a sense of familiarity just by holding it.

The core, shaft, and even the length of the staff remain unchanged. The color is very similar to the previous one, and the slightly whitish shaft feels like a massage to your hand when you hold it!

Thank you, Master Ollivander!

However—just now Mr. Lupin mentioned a specially made wand—and Loira, realizing what he'd just said, asked, "Then—"

What is the problem?

"Ah—" Lupin scratched his face a little awkwardly: "I'm not too sure about that either."

"Because he talked a lot, but you know—I don't know much about magic circles."

Ah—I almost forgot, Mr. Lupin isn't very interested in magic circles.

"But I really didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital today," Lupin said, changing the subject. "Should we celebrate?"

"Celebrate...?" Loila pursed her lips and said, "No...no need."

Loila wasn't quite used to parties—unless, of course, it was just a small gathering at her house.

It seems alright————

"No need?" Lupin nodded knowingly. "Let's wait until the holidays to talk about it."

"Anyway, there's not much time left, is there?"

"Uh-huh!"

Just as the two were talking, a series of footsteps approached. They were hurried footsteps, and the owners of the footsteps were a group of Aurors with serious expressions.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Hamilton?" Under the curious gazes of Loila and Lupin, the leading Auror walked up to Loila and nodded slightly, saying, "We have something to discuss with you."

"What's wrong?" Loila paused, about to step forward, when Lupin frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"Shouldn't the Ministry of Magic be very busy lately?"

Mr. Lupin's attitude towards the Ministry of Magic is not good. Has something happened recently?

"We are very busy—but this matter concerns Miss Hamilton, and we have no choice but to invite her to accompany us to the Ministry of Magic amidst our busy schedules." The leading Auror was still quite polite, nodding slightly as he said, "This matter concerns Karkaroff—and Steinberg."

Karkaroff? And Steinberg?

"Let me remind you," Lupin said slowly as Loila looked on in confusion, "They are not Karkaroff and Stöger."

"They are Barty Crouch Jr. and Voldemort."

"Voldemort is just a rumor." Auror's tone became much more serious: "But the Karkaroff we're discussing is the real Karkaroff."

So this matter isn't over yet? — Loila pursed her lips, looking at the person in front of her, unsure of what to do — Should she go?

Let's not go yet—but he said something about Karkarov—Roy had only heard that Karkarov had gone mad, but she was still quite interested in the specifics of how he went mad.

How about we go—go and take a look?

"Um—Remus," Loila said after a moment's thought, "Since—it was their invitation—"

"It must be something important, right?" She didn't want to admit that she was there to watch Karkarov's antics.

"Loila—" Lupin looked at her, pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately hesitated because of the Auror, and said, "In that case, I'll go with you."

"Is this alright?" he asked, looking at the Auror.

"————" Auror pursed his lips, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Of course."

"Shall we set off now?" he said, nodding eagerly.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to leave now?" Lupin frowned and grabbed his arm. "Has Headmaster Dumbledore been informed of this?"

"Of course we informed Headmaster Dumbledore," he said slowly. "And it was just about some cases."

"There's no need to be so nervous."

As he spoke, he gently removed Lupin's hand with his own, then flicked his own clothes.

"There's no need to be so nervous, is there?"

Loila looked at Lupin and pursed her lips. These people from the Ministry of Magic weren't exactly good people, but they weren't bad people either, right? — Loila still had a somewhat good impression of the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, this refers to the British Ministry of Magic, not the German Ministry of Magic—and of course, this refers to the most recent Ministry of Magic, not the previous one.

After all, my previous work with the Ministry of Magic had been fairly harmonious—whether it was Director Scrimgeour or Mr. Parkinson. Well—Mr. Parkinson and Director Scrimgeour weren't with them. They must have been busy.

Loila thought for a moment, then nodded to Lupin: "It's alright, Remus."

Let's go together.

"Lupin took a deep breath, then could only nod slightly and say, "I understand."
