A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 712: “Providing assistance for the publicization of magic”

On the same day, Felix made a declaration of victory against Grindelwald's face. This speech will occupy all the pages of Africa in the next two weeks, and even spread to the non-magical world because of the unique chaotic situation in Africa. .

After that, Felix returned to the federation headquarters, and Aginbad told him the news with an excited face.

If there are no accidents, the important International Federation of Wizards Conference will be held in early October. As a representative, Ms. Burns will systematically describe the achievements and significance of a series of initiatives in the past three months, as well as the results of their negotiations with the Muggle government.

Naturally, the purpose of the conference is to discuss a law with the meaning of the "Secrecy Act", and to draw various principled issues, so that the Ministry of Magic of various countries can implement it accordingly. It may take a few weeks, but the benefits are obvious --

The Wizard will reunite as a whole.

What makes Akinbad most confident is that, as one of the only two archmages in the magic world who are still active on the world stage, Felix Hep will ensure that the law is implemented.

In the afternoon, Felix went to Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic again, and met Mrs. Maxim as a school manager. They actually met not long ago, at the wedding of Bill and Fleur, but Maxim Madame insisted on inviting him to Beauxbatons.

"Isn't there something wrong with the scholarship?" Felix asked. He didn't count the property in Nick Lemay's treasury, but he estimated that it could be used for another one or two hundred years.

"The goblins at Gringotts will transfer a sum of money to the school treasury every year," said Madam Maxime with an uneasy expression, "and they will mail the list to you."

"Maybe I overlooked it," Felix said calmly. "There are too many people who write to me every year. So it's not because of this?"

"Of course not."

"What's that?"

"Felix, you are the director of Beauxbaton School, but you missed three school management meetings, and you haven't even shown up at the school since the crisis." Mrs. Maxime said in a low voice, she His chest began to heave.

"I haven't forgotten this identity." Felix immediately said seriously: "I asked you before, Nick doesn't care about anything at all, so I, like him, have no plans to intervene in the specific affairs of the school."

"That's a different matter, Felix." Madame Maxime protested, "Mr. LeMay has lived for hundreds of years, and his concept of time is different from ours, and we won't disturb him easily...but You are only in your twenties, how do you want me to tell the students that the school director will ignore such a big incident?"

…

"So I stayed at Beauxbatons, walked around, pointed out a few students' academic difficulties, and finally had a meal with everyone in the cafeteria-it worked surprisingly well. The only awkward thing was that they managed My name is 'Mr. Apple', but that's how it is." In the evening in the new vice-chancellor's office, Felix said to Ms. Bones: "I can probably guess what Mrs. Maxime is thinking: to play the mascot, It is soothing. Maybe there is a plan to ask me to help if something goes wrong."

"She is a responsible principal." Ms. Burns said: "It may seem like a big deal to you, but it is very important for her to maintain the relationship with you. Otherwise, why do so many Ministry of Magic look at you? To save face, send people to the Federation?"

Felix hesitated for a while, of course he knew the reason, but he joked: "I thought it was my excellent eloquence that played a role."

The corners of Ms. Burns's lips curled up slightly, as if she was amused by this statement.

"Yeah, Grindelwald occupies one-third of the African magic world, probably because of his excellent eloquence." After joking, she said seriously, "Felix, now the Muggle Prime Minister proposes to cooperate to complete a Official information——in addition to letting the public know the phased results of our negotiations, there are other things—I hope you will participate. This will be the first information jointly undertaken and recognized by both parties, which is of great significance, and you are in We have a wealth of experience in this area."

Felix almost forgot that he also has the title of writer. Although he is not very popular, he is definitely a professional counterpart.

He thought for a while and asked: "Where is the progress so far?"

"The pace is much faster than before," Ms. Burns said, "but we are not only facing a relatively stable domestic environment - there are opponents, but it doesn't matter; but we can't interfere with international public opinion. , plus all kinds of miscellaneous organizations, there are countless factors that can affect the peace talks. The tacit agreement we have reached during this period is to come up with something that both parties are satisfied with as soon as possible, so as to avoid complications..."

"As for other issues, first write them down in the memorandum, and leave them to be perfected later. It's like the secrecy law was not what it is now..."

She briefly described the progress of the recent negotiations, and then extended the invitation again. Felix agreed.

Night.

Felix was reading the materials left by Ms. Burns at his desk. Many important issues were originally drafted by the two of them, but as time went by, some progress had been made, and some still had disagreements , he needs to know all kinds of details like the back of his hand.

The small golden clock on the table points to twelve o'clock, and the lights in the office are still on. Felix looked up and saw Varun dozing off on his little table, smiled and wrapped it up in the velvet quilt.

In late September, a book with a thickness of more than 200 pages was published. The media and publishing houses of the two societies went all out, so that this book was placed on the desks of countless people as soon as it was released, and was used for repeated research. Some of the content was summarized in concise words in the newspaper, which attracted heated discussions, and each page could set off a wave of public opinion.

But in fact, this is not so much a negotiating treaty as it is a political white paper related to wizards issued by the authority-at least many reporters privately compared it to the government report. It represents the respective positions of the two parties, mainly states the facts and the current negotiation results, as well as future initiatives and expectations.

Some of the important words above are likely to evolve into the basis for both parties to act in the future, or be expanded into targeted laws.

"The book "Providing Assistance for the Publicization of Magic" is divided into three parts. The first part is divided into three chapters, respectively expounding the significance of the cooperation between the two parties, briefly describing the history of wizards, and the intersection of the two parties in history " Hermione said in one breath, she slid her fingers across the catalog one by one, turned to a page number and read it for a while, then raised her head and said with a complicated expression: "The person in charge of the negotiation must have spent a lot of thought and racked his brains for it. ——"

"But it was boring to read," said Ron, "I had the illusion that I was reading a History of Magic textbook."

"That's its characteristic, isn't it? Try not to take personal emotions." Hermione said: "But in fact, the real opinions are cleverly hidden, no, they are shown to you directly. But You turned a blind eye!"

Harry looked at her. If it was two months ago, he might not have been able to understand the meaning of this sentence, but writing letters recently has given him new feelings.

"Wait—" He took the book from Hermione, turned to the third chapter, skimmed through the subtitles between chapters quickly, looked up and said thoughtfully, "I probably understand you It makes sense, the appearance of each word above is the result of the delegation's efforts."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you talking about?" Ron asked impatiently.

"Look at this," said Harry, pointing to a page, "in 1917—" "It was during the First World War," interrupted Hermione. "—Uh, that's right," Harry continued: "A town called Noah Leeda, a witch who sheltered her. Oh, her identity is a bit special. She was originally an Englishman, but later married to France..."

"Bill and Fleur?" Ron found a similar example in his mind, "but the relationship is reversed."

Hermione warned him not to interrupt. Harry went on: "And this, when the Ministry of Magic repelled wizards from hostile nations, including taking over an army of dragons, hey, there's Mr Scamander mentioned here, he's done a great job." His The tone is a little excited.

Ron gradually recalled, "It sounds like we contributed a lot? But don't wizards not participate in the war between Muggles?"

"That's true, but the Ministry of Magic is also responsible for protecting ordinary people in the area from the threat of magic." Hermione said, "Especially when some wizards and Muggles combine, they are more inclined to protect the people around them." Neighbor, this kind of thing is more common in times of large-scale social unrest, and the Ministry of Magic has a lot of information—er, I mean illegal records.”

Ron rolled his eyes.

"You mean, some wizards spontaneously protected their neighbors during the war, but they were punished for using magic after being discovered?"

Hermione's expression was also a little embarrassed, at least in this matter, the Ministry of Magic did not play any positive role.

"The law of secrecy was still in effect at that time. However, if such a problem really happened, that is, some money would be fined, and basically there would be no sentence, let alone being sent to Azkaban."

"Okay," said Ron reluctantly.

"But in general," Hermione raised her voice slightly, "most of the images of wizards shown here are positive... There are also some who are sneaky and tease Muggles, but you will find that these people have been treated by them in the end." The Ministry of Magic's punishment is already very telling."

"It's more than that," she continued: "I think the most important part of the first part is to fully explain the two viewpoints, and their roles are crucial. The first viewpoint is naturally to affirm the role of wizards, which is mentioned above. There are several kinds of magical disasters, and wizards have been eliminating these dangers in the dark. The second point of view-I don’t know if you have noticed that all the ‘wizards’ have a word in front of them?”

Harry glanced down.

"British wizard? British?"

"That's right, all the wizards discussed here are British wizards, and it blurs the fact that many pure-blood wizards have no nationality at all! Put the framework of the discussion at the internal level of the country, and don't worry about foreign voices—"

"But the Pan-Magical Union...?" Harry murmured.

"They're different, Harry, they're different." Hermione patiently explained: "Although in essence they are all designed to reduce the constraints on wizards, they are facing completely different objects. The former—"British wizards" This word basically excludes the intervention of other countries, at least it has an excuse to refuse to bring wizard affairs to international discussions and wrangling; the latter Pan-Magical Alliance strives for the autonomy of wizards to the greatest extent internally."

"Sounds so complicated." Ron was already dizzy at the moment.

"These are very serious political issues," Hermione said solemnly: "Even a small concept will have a chain reaction in the future, so the Ministry of Magic has been shirking for a while to formulate various detailed rules. Think about it, wizards don't even have the profession of lawyers..."

"Hermione," Harry said, "I know you're right, but there's one thing you may have overlooked, and that's the wizard's own strength. Do you know what I just thought of?" He didn't wait for Hermione. Min replied, but said the answer self-consciously, "It's Grindelwald in Africa."

"Two months ago, that is, at the beginning of August, the situation in Africa we read from the newspapers was chaotic or chaotic-at that time, the International Federation of Wizards had not recovered with the help of Professor Haipu. Prestige—it all changes with the appearance of a person."

"Harry," said Hermione nervously.

"At that time, many people predicted that in another two weeks, wizards would participate in regional disputes as an uncontrolled force. Now that two months have passed, the situation there has not become more chaotic, but Completely stabilized - at the most dangerous time, Grindelwald defeated 300 wizards in one night, relying on one person! Not even a single person died because of it, I don't know if it is the oath's limitation... Sometimes I have a It is an illusion that Professor Haip seems to have reached a tacit understanding with Grindelwald, tacit understanding, mutual non-interference..."

"There are newspapers claiming that they are preparing for an unprecedented duel, just like the legendary duel half a century ago," Hermione's voice trembled slightly, "If the two strongest people in the world were not intimidating each other, every One can cause a terrifying and destructive effect on the other camp.”

Ron also said: "All wizards are looking forward to it from the bottom of their hearts, but now is not the time."

"Wizards are not the only ones looking forward to it," shrieked Hermione.

That's right, wizards are not the only ones who are looking forward to it. The governments of all countries have noticed this problem, and they are extremely jealous and curious about wizards with the title of "Great Mage". Gellert Grindelwald and Felix Heap, the former seems to be a careerist, and he was a failed careerist, but after he appeared in the wizard's tavern in the capital of Egypt, the threat level continued to adjust. high.

As for the latter...it seems to be good at a kind of magic called ancient rune, and has been to the moon. Although the specific combat talent is hidden in the mist, at least the survivability is beyond the reach.

This kind of confrontation and analysis of strength is completely out of instinct~IndoMTL.com~Almost every regime will do similar things, but it doesn't mean that they plan to go to war with wizards, especially with their own country.

What they really can't bear is guys walking around with nuclear bombs in their hands... If there is a chance, the fewer such people the better.

In the process, they also discovered a strange thing.

The power gap between wizards seems ridiculously large, even though those wizards generally have abilities that make them feel extremely difficult-such as apparating, traveling on flames, creating inextinguishable fire, folding space-but These seemingly supernatural wizards pale in comparison to the 'Great Mage'.

They can only blame it on the wonder and treachery of magic. Modern weapons are basically based on physics, and have extended many branches, and everything seems to be traceable. But unfortunately, it is still difficult to analyze the principle of magic with the current scientific theory. Just look at those scientists who are about to bald themselves.

"Part two and three..."

Similar analyzes are being conducted around the world. At about the same time, Grindelwald's declaration also spread as the fermentation of the previous two weeks.
