"Early graduation is fine, and I will also write you a recommendation letter, but whether you can join the Ministry of Magic depends on their response. You have the strength and ability, but you are still too young."
Dumbledore was not overly surprised by George's decision.
Because he also thought that if George continued to stay at Hogwarts, his progress would slow down significantly.
However, George is still a child, and the joy of learning and living in school would make his life happier. It is cruel to force him to graduate and leave for experience so early.
So it ultimately depends on George's own choice.
The only thing that surprised him a little was that George wanted to join the Ministry of Magic immediately after graduation.
The Ministry of Magic is usually only open to the most outstanding students upon graduation from school, and George is undoubtedly the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts. However, age is still a major issue.
George is only twelve years old this year, has not taken the L. and... exams, and even though he has gained some reputation in France previously, without these academic certifications, it would be very difficult.
He can only say that he will do his best to use his connections to help, but whether he can get in or not depends on the situation.
The Ministry of Magic is not what it used to be, and sometimes what he says is not as effective.
"Headmaster, the L. exam for the seventh grade should be starting soon, and I don't know if I can be added to it."
George thought for a moment before asking.
The L. exam, also known as the Ultimate Wizard Exam, is a very important exam that all seventh-grade students at Hogwarts must take. The result of the exam directly affects their employment situation after graduation.
For the Ministry of Magic, at least a "Good" or "Excellent" grade in five L. exams is required to even be considered for acceptance.
If he can get all "Excellent" grades in the Ultimate Wizard Exam, at least he would be qualified and no one would be able to say anything against him.
With Dumbledore, the headmaster, recommending him and Snape helping him find connections within the Ministry of Magic, and his own network of relationships inside the Ministry.
And if he can make some waves himself, making the Minister of Magic feel that having him join would be very prestigious, then the problem should be much less significant.
"Good idea, with your ability, you should do well on the exam, which would greatly increase the chances of being accepted."
Dumbledore nodded and, breaking the rules, allowed George to take the Ultimate Wizard Exam. For the headmaster of Hogwarts, this was not a difficult thing to do.
And he also had confidence in George's exam results.
And after discussing graduation with Dumbledore for a while, George left the headmaster's office.
"It seems like we need to catch up with Sirius."
Sirius Black has been on the run from Azkaban for nearly a year, and the Ministry of Magic still hasn't caught him. In fact, they even allowed Sirius to infiltrate the school.
At present, the wizarding world is very critical of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, who is himself extremely anxious about this matter.
If George can personally capture Sirius and hand him over to the Ministry of Magic, it will undoubtedly gain Fudge's favor and increase George's reputation in the British wizarding community, thus reducing the difficulty of joining the Ministry.
As for Sirius's innocence, it's very simple. As long as the Short-bottom doesn't run away, his innocence will be clear in the end.
He needs to carefully plan the process.
"Let's talk about it after the Ultimate Wizard Exam."
There are only a few days left until the Ultimate Wizard Exam, and he plans to deal with Sirius's matter after the exam.
In the middle of the night, George apparated out of the castle, disappearing in an instant after using a counter charm at the range of the anti-apparition spell.
When he reappeared, he was already standing at the entrance of a standalone house on the street in a neighborhood in London.
"Ting!"
George pressed the doorbell a few times in a row, and a woman with sleepy eyes rubbed them and opened the door.
"It's so late, who are you looking for?"
"Good evening, Professor Amy!"
George waved cheerfully.
George was looking for the same temporary teacher who had taught him apparition, Professor Amy, who is now the Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Magic.
In Paris, Professor Amy had already been appointed as the Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Magic even before she returned, thanks to George's bravery in defeating the old one-eyed giant and clearing her name. George also helped her win the Bravery Award.
Over the past year, they had been in correspondence through letters, so George knew her address and also knew that she was doing quite well in the Ministry.
The International Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Magic mainly deals with communication with other wizarding nations, especially the neighboring French Ministry of Magic.
Professor Amy's girlfriend, Lina, is currently the team leader of Aurors in Paris and a recipient of the Bravery Award from France, so she is naturally doing well in her work.
Moreover, over the years, Amy's experience has made her more diplomatic, so she is not as rigid as she used to be.
"George, it's been a while! You've grown taller, you're about to catch up to me!"
Upon seeing George, Professor Amy's face immediately lit up with surprise and she opened her arms to embrace him.
Although only a year has passed, George's rapid growth due to the constant use of duplicates and his inherent magical ability has made him taller than Amy.
Just by looking at his height, George's stature is already on par with some fourth or fifth-grade wizards.
"Professor Amy, you're looking more and more fit."
Feeling the incredible flexibility, George made a joke.
"Is it good to have my body?"
At this moment, an arm as smooth as jade wrapped around George from behind Amy's waist, revealing a somewhat lazy-looking woman.
"Long time no see, George!"
"Lina, you're here too?"
George was not too surprised to see Lina.
"Lina's face showed a trace of melancholy."
"Your Professor Amy is too busy to go to Paris to find me, so I have to come and find her instead."
"Hahaha, come in first. George, you came so late, must be for an important matter?"
Seeing the situation wasn't going as planned, Professor Amy quickly made a joke and pulled George into the house.
George sat on the sofa and, without any preliminaries, directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"This semester, I will apply for early graduation and then plan to join the Ministry of Magic. I need your help with that."
"B. graduation, George, I don't think I'm mistaken, you're in your second year this year?"
Upon hearing George's words, both Professor Amy and Lina almost spit out the tea they had just sipped.
George smiled:
"I'm in my second year, but I've already completed the coursework at school and want to go to the Ministry of Magic for some experience."
Don't worry, Dumbledore agreed to this, and he will write me a recommendation letter. I will also take the Ultimate Wizard Exam in a few days, so there's no problem with my education.
"Well done you!"
Hearing George's words, Professor Amy and Lina couldn't help but give him a thumbs up at the same time. They knew George was talented, but they didn't expect him to be so talented that even Dumbledore thought George could graduate early.
Most wizards are still confused after seven years of study, but George has already mastered the curriculum in two.
Indeed, last summer vacation, George was able to defeat the infamous one-eyed giant by himself, which is no ordinary person.
