Settle at Hogwarts

Under the leadership of Maka, Tabor and the two little guys came to the United States Ministry of Magic.Well, actually the correct name here is MACUSA.

The so-called minister in Maka's mouth was actually called that just to take care of the guests who came from afar.

Magical Congress of the United States of America's Woolworth Building in New York City has hundreds of floors inside.

"When I came, I had already sent a message to Chairman Garcia. He should receive you in his chairman's office."

Maka said and walked directly into an elevator: "Zane once told me something about the British Ministry of Magic, so I know the difference between here and your place."

Tabor hummed softly and looked curiously at this place that he had only seen in newspapers and portraits.

"This is the office of the current president."

Maka said, tapping them twice.

Tabor glanced at the name tag hanging on the door: Clemence Garcia.

"Please come in and welcome guests from Hogwarts. Principal Prince is delighted to see you here. And of course there are two young guests."

Chairman Garcia's office is very spacious, and the huge floor-to-ceiling glass makes the place look bright.

"It is also an honor for me to meet the president of the Magic Congress."

Tabor observed this man who often appeared in the North American Wizarding Times without leaving a trace.

His hair was brown, and his eyes revealed a shrewdness that was not unpleasant.

He has a well-proportioned figure, but does not appear thin.

Garcia swept his eyes from the three people in front of him, and finally stopped at Tabor.

This time, Tubber was traveling with his two children, and everyone at Hogwarts knew that they would visit Ilvermorny.

So Tabor went through the relatively normal entry and exit method for the first time, filled out the corresponding application, and registered the wand.

This is why Garcia knew about the arrival of the Hogwarts Headmaster.

"I have been looking forward to meeting you since I saw your entry application."

Garcia said with a smile after inviting a few people to sit down.

Tabor glanced at the chairman opposite with some confusion, not sure what he wanted to do.

You must know that matters related to diplomacy are handled by the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Exchange of the Ministry of Magic.

There should be no intersection between myself, the principal of Hogwarts, and MACUSA.

Moreover, the purpose of my coming here was clearly stated in my application, it was just for traveling.

After seeing Tabor's cold reaction, Garcia was very sensible and did not go around in circles.

"I myself graduated from the Horned Water Serpent Academy in Ilvermorny, and I have a very good relationship with the principal of Ilvermorny, Tevis David."

Tubber waited for the Chairman's next words, while mentally thinking about whether he would be assigned to Slytherin or Ravenclaw if he were at Hogwarts.

"Actually, the reason we are so anxious to see you is because we want to establish communication with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and we will have closer cooperation in the future."

Tabor looked at the two children beside him who were sitting upright even though they were a little bored.

"Oh, if you feel bored here, you can ask Maka to take you around the Magic Congress."

"Ok."

"no need."

Two completely different answers sounded almost at the same time, coming from Lily and Severus respectively.

Lily was very curious about places she had never been before, and it was really boring to sit here without being able to say anything.

Severus felt that it was safer to stay with his uncle in a strange place.Moreover, he didn't have much curiosity about a country's Ministry of Magic.

Tabor reached out and ruffled Severus' hair: "Maka, please take Lily for a walk. As for Severus..."

"Me too."

Severus tilted his head and opened Tabor's big hand. It was very embarrassing to think about having his head touched in front of others.

Watching Severus change his mind, Tubbo naturally understood why.

After watching the three people leave with a smile, Tabor turned his attention back to Garcia.

"Mr. Chairman, I personally support wizards cooperating and learning from each other. Otherwise, this trip would not be possible."

Garcia nodded. He had also done some research on Tabor before meeting him.

After excluding the superficial auras of the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the recipient of the Order of Merlin First Class, and the Master of Potions.

He also saw the headmaster, who had been an exchange student at Beauxbatons for a year, and he had also been to Durmstrang.Now he is taking his students to Ilvermorny again, which shows that they are not those stubborn guys who stubbornly believe that only Hogwarts is the best.

These itineraries that Garcia knew were public, and Tabor had no intention of hiding them. As long as he was willing to investigate, he would soon find out.

"Principal Prince, you don't have to call me Chairman. If possible, I would rather you call me Clemens."

"Well, Mr. Clemens, as I said, I am not opposed to friendly and equal exchanges, but by you, do you mean you, the Magical Congress, or Ilvermorny?"

Garcia smiled: "Ilvermorny has a very good relationship with our Congress. If we cooperate with them, we will definitely save a lot of trouble."

Tabor nodded slightly. The cooperation between the two schools is nothing more than co-organizing activities, exchanging students and professors, or sharing resources.

"I can go to Ilvermorny to investigate this time. I will study the specific things with the governors of Hogwarts."

Garcia was a little regretful that Tabor did not directly agree to cooperate, but he still kept smiling.

In fact, as the administrator of Hogwarts, Tubo does have the right to cooperate directly with other schools.

However, if you really promote cooperation by yourself, then you will definitely have a lot of things to worry about later.

It would be better to put it directly to the board of directors, choose a cooperation method that is most beneficial to Hogwarts, and then leave everything that needs to be done to those guys who hold banquets every day.

I just need to control it a little bit and make sure I don't go wrong in the general direction.

I enjoyed a California sushi roll, a bowl of shrimp okra soup, and a pecan pie in the cafeteria of Magic Congress with Chairman Garcia.

Finally, on Maka’s strong recommendation, I tried the Buffalo Chicken Wings.

Garcia is naturally shrewd enough to become the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America.The moment Tabor put down his knife and fork, he began to introduce more delicacies that Ilvermorny and the Parliament Restaurant can provide.

Tabor made a mental note of the foods he was interested in, planning to try them if he had the opportunity in the future.

In the afternoon, Maka took the three of them to visit the Parliament Building together, and then took them back to where they lived.

Ilvermorny is located on the top of Mount Greylock, and there are also powerful magical guards around the school, making it impossible for No-Majs to detect its existence.

Maka took Tabor and the three of them directly through the fireplace and entered the principal's office in Ilvermorny.

"Welcome, Headmaster Prince, and our little guests at Hogwarts."

Tabor looked at the thin middle-aged man with a goatee in front of him, and immediately understood that he was the principal of Ilvermorny.

"Excuse me, Principal David."

After Tabor answered, his eyes fell on the portrait on the wall involuntarily.

"It's nothing. Ilvermorny is on holiday now, and I don't have anything to be busy with."

After David finished speaking, he noticed Tabor's gaze on the wall.

"There are portraits of past principals. It is said that this tradition was learned from Hogwarts."

Tabor looked away, but he was not surprised in his heart.

The founder of Ilvermorny was once a student of Slytherin.

Some "traditions" that are preserved are a very normal thing.

"Then shall we take a rest first, or shall we go straight to Ilvermorny?"

Tabor glanced at the two little guys beside him and saw that they obviously didn't need a rest: "Let's just go and have a look. I can't wait."

Principal David did not shirk. He personally led Tabor and others out of the principal's office and walked to the edge of the cliff outside the castle.

"Although this is still within the scope of Ilvermorny, students generally don't come here."

Lily moved closer to the edge of the cliff and looked at the dark canyon underground. She quickly took a step back and bumped into the arms of Severus who wanted to follow behind and protect her at all times.

Lily: "??"

Severus was suddenly thrown into the girl's arms. He didn't react for a moment and subconsciously tightened his grip.

The faint milky fragrance that filled the tip of his nose made Severus, who had just reacted, even more reluctant to let go.

"Sev, let me go."

"Don't let go, I...I'm afraid you'll fall."

Severus leaned into Lily's ear and said in a voice that he thought was extremely low.

"I'm just afraid that if I fall, Sifu, you can really let go. I won't go there again."

Tabor couldn't stand it. You have to know that besides himself, there is also a principal and a member of the Magic Congress!My nephew cannot go home or find a safe place to communicate feelings.

"Okay, Principal David, shall we continue shopping?"

David waved his hand with a smile, his eyes lingering on the boy's black hair for a moment.

"Principal Prince, actually you don't have to worry, we can wait for the two little guys to separate before continuing."

Tabor stared at the middle-aged man and saw curiosity flashing in his eyes, and the expression on his face was very sincere, as if he really didn't care to waste this little time.

However, Severus was obviously aware that there were other people around him, and he quickly held Lily and took a few steps back before letting go.

He carefully glanced in the direction of the two principals, and then glanced at Maka.

What surprised Severus was that none of these people's eyes were impatient, and even contained encouragement.

Severus was a little confused. The feeling of holding Lily just now was really good, so good that he didn't want him to let go.

My uncle and the headmaster of Ilvermorny both looked at me encouragingly. How about hugging me again?

Severus used Occlumency to block his emotions, and his expression immediately calmed down.

There was no time to waste now, so Severus took Lily's hand and walked to Tabor's side.

"Uncle, let's keep walking."

Tubo naturally knew that Severus used Occlumency to block his emotions, which made him appear extremely rational.

The group of people continued walking on the cobbled path. Lily, who did not know Occlumency, had obviously not recovered from what had just happened.

Naturally, he didn't notice that his hand was already in another person's hand.

Although Severus' hands were not big, he was still a child after all and still had some room to grow.

But there are thick calluses in several places on the palm.

After waking up, Lily wanted to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't.

Fortunately, Tabor, Principal David, and Maka were all in front and couldn't see what was going on behind them, so Lily relaxed a little.

"Bad Sif, let go quickly."

Severus didn't move, still holding her tightly.

If they just hold hands, adults will only think that the relationship between the two children is very good. Most people will not be able to see anything dirty in the relationship between the two children.

Tabor returned his mind to the surrounding scenery.

After wandering around until lunch time, David took a few people to the restaurant in Ilvermorny.

There are also a group of house elves here, busy working.

Unlike Hogwarts, they all wear Ilvermorny's iconic dresses.

"These are all done by students. According to the notes left by the founder of Ilvermorny, he bought two house elves from a British wizard. After so many years, it has reached its current scale."

After the principal made the introduction, he motioned for several people to sit down at the table.

Then he whispered an order in the ear of an old house elf, and soon the table was filled with delicious food.

Severus didn't let go of Lily's hand until then.

Lily felt the hand that had returned to freedom. She silently glared at Severus with a harmless look.Then he picked up the knife and fork and started eating.

"Principal Prince, I heard others say that you are very fond of food. After taking office, you even sent house elves to study at the florist's house, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang."

"It's true. Now teachers and students at Hogwarts can taste food from different regions in school."

Tabor didn't hide it, but he was just curious about who discovered what he liked and told Principal David.

"Well, although our two schools have not yet started cooperation, I can, as the principal, give two house elves to Hogwarts."

Tabor smiled, and only then did he realize that the relationship between the chairman and the principal was indeed good, and that the two people must have shared information about themselves.
