Hogwarts' ancient rune professor Felix Heppe and 14 students completed the first visit mission brilliantly. Minister of Magic Amelia
Bones confirmed the accuracy of the news in the magic radio broadcast that night.
"The teachers and students of Hogwarts were warmly welcomed. After afternoon tea, they stayed to attend the dinner and dance, which ended successfully at ten o'clock." Ms. Bones said in a voice with a hint of joy: "The Muggle Prime Minister sent them to the door of the Parliament Building, and then the delegation collectively Apparated."
"This action is of great significance. It marks that the communication channel between the magic world and the non-magical world has been completely opened. In the future, the mutual visits between the two sides will become more and more frequent. A series of issues such as communication and cooperation between wizards and non-magical groups will be carried out in an orderly manner. The Ministry of Magic promised to strive to find a suitable balance between maintaining traditions and openness..." "
In short, we can now breathe a sigh of relief."
The wizarding people cheered. If it were not too late and the ban was still in place, they would probably take to the streets to celebrate.
But even so, many wizards have ways to vent their excitement and joy. They went to famous wizard attractions such as Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and Witch Town. Pubs of all sizes were packed, and Fred and George's new fireworks were also put to use.
Some wizards in remote areas chose to celebrate at home.
The non-magical world, Muggle newspapers, also gave positive reports. Some reporters were invited to participate in the Queen's afternoon tea, and the information they obtained was more accurate. Naturally, the newspapers to which the reporters belonged were also sold out the next day.
Please allow me to introduce to you a magic school with a long history - Hogwarts, which was co-founded by four of the most outstanding wizards of the time a thousand years ago. The school's four colleges were named after their surnames - Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin. Over the past thousand years, this school has trained countless outstanding wizards, including the wizard delegation that participated in the Queen's afternoon tea yesterday. '
The author has learned a lot of incredible facts, which may be very different from what most people think. For example, the ratio of male wizards to female wizards is basically the same, instead of the fact that the number of witches far exceeds that of male wizards as most people believe; the work and rest of wizards is also the same as that of normal people. They sleep in bed at night and do not fly around on broomsticks; the only similarity to the rumors about wizards is that flying broomsticks do exist, but are generally not used for traveling - because wizards have more convenient means of transportation - but as a tool for a sport called Quidditch. '
'It is said that this sport is a mixture of the characteristics of many sports such as football, basketball, and baseball, but it is played on a broomstick, in other words, in the sky.
The author also accidentally discovered several students who mailed letters to The Sun, including the little boy who was adopted by a relative who hated magic.
His real name is Harry Potter. He admitted that the content of the letter was true, but refused to reveal the name of the relative who abused him. Because this name is very common in the UK, it is difficult for our child rights protection agency to conduct an investigation - but he doesn't care. He said that he is living a good life now and has found a home in the magical world. 'The girl who revealed the existence of several magical animals to the public is not in the team. What a pity. I also want to ask her in person how to resist harassment flies. I believe that many readers have secretly practiced ritual dances to get rid of harassment flies in their rooms, but this may be a unique magic, because other students are vague about it...
'Oh my God, we can't wait to know more about wizards. It's hard to imagine that most of our understanding of wizards in the past half month is wrong, which is derived from folk rumors and imaginary ghost legends!
After knowing that the activities of wizards have run through the entire human history, the famous historian Sheridan Mack has a new idea about the ghost culture and strange customs of all recorded civilizations. He believes that magic is the last missing piece of the puzzle.
And anthropologist Wycliffe Julius took the lead in applying to live in a wizard village for a year or so, hoping to observe the wizard's lifestyle up close. His request was naturally rejected by the authorities without hesitation. Everyone knows that he left his wife and children and ran to a wild tribe in Africa for two years
to do what he called field research. After returning, the anthropologist was dissatisfied with everything he saw and was very picky. He even hoped that all British people would have to build their own houses as a sign of adulthood in Hogwarts.
"The anti-wizard comments in the newspapers seem to have decreased?" Snape stared at the newspaper thoughtfully.
"Because they found that they actually knew very little about real wizards." Felix pointed to the newspaper and said, "Except for a few letters from students, they couldn't get much valuable information before, so they could only look for information in the pile of old papers. The results didn't match at all." "
So what did you talk about at afternoon tea? The newspaper didn't say..." Professor Flitwick turned a page and said with a look of suspicion, "I found a few ladies praising your graceful dancing."
"Ahem," Felix coughed and explained quickly, "Since it was afternoon tea, only the Queen, the Prime Minister and a few members of parliament were present. Oh, there was a young girl who seemed to be a relative of the Queen..."
"Although it can't be called a verbal battle, it's more tiring. Every sentence has a hidden meaning."
"The students basically didn't speak, like the armor in the school castle, motionless. The real highlight was the social dance after dinner. You don't know how many people took the initiative to invite me to dance, and then asked for information about the wizarding world in a roundabout way, and invited me to visit London." Felix said and added, "The same goes for other students."
"It sounds like they want to win you over." Professor Flitwick frowned.
"Almost, but it's a good thing." Felix said calmly: "It means that their attitude has leaned towards peace talks, so they are in a hurry to outline a more realistic appearance of the wizarding world, so they seem impatient. Of course, I believe the royal family knows the existence of wizards--"
"Nearly Headless Nick is actually quite representative. He was born into an aristocratic family and also showed a talent for magic, so he was allowed to study at Hogwarts. After graduation, he was active in the Muggle upper class society. With the help of magic or perhaps the power of his family, he was granted a title and became a courtier of King Henry VII."
Felix fell into thought, "He may be one of the first victims of the witch hunt, a victim of wizards. Maybe I can ask...
Oh, he may not even know it himself."
The first large-scale witch hunt in continental Europe was between 1480 and 1520. Nearly Headless Nick, the Gryffindor ghost, was sentenced to beheading during this period (1492), although the two may have nothing to do with each other, because the witch hunt in England was slightly later than in Europe, and there were only sporadic wizard trials during the reign of Henry VII himself. Unfortunately, Sir Nicholas's poor Transfiguration caused the originally not-so-difficult tooth correction magic, which could even be the beginning of a romantic encounter, to become a serious magical accident, and the treated Lady Grief grew fangs.
Sir Nicholas's wand was taken away and the dungeon was locked. He tried his best to argue that he could immediately undo the damage to Lady Grief,
but it was too late. The beauty-loving lady underestimated the uncertainty of magic and chose to end her life one step earlier, and the matter could not be reversed.
"Will religious factors interfere with the negotiations?" Professor Flitwick asked.
"In the UK, there is no big problem, because the Queen is their nominal leader. Outside the UK..." Felix paused, hesitant,
"It's hard to say. They do have a great influence on ordinary people, but wizards are not without ways to deal with them. After all, they have a lot of problems of their own."
He planned to wait until there was a sign and send out a copy of "History of Magic". The contents from the 14th to the 17th century would surely be eye-opening.
Felix has no energy to pay attention to foreign countries for the time being. He only occasionally uses Grindelwald's identity to carry out activities. If you analyze it carefully, you will find that Grindelwald has never summoned saints, nor has he shouted more inflammatory and extremely violent slogans. His approach, in line with the contraction policy of the Ministry of Magic of various countries in the world, is actually conducive to reducing conflicts.
Many people think that this is the restriction of the 'unbreakable oath'.
As for the Ten Laws of Wizards, he picked them out with reference to the "Grindelwald Code" to reduce the expectations of the Muggle government in the next negotiations.
If you look at Felix's strategy, you will find that his idea is actually very simple. He will first take over a country, and then use this reputation to deeply participate in the next wizard reform, and then influence the direction of the world.
Something happened quietly during this period. Ms. Bones and all members of the Wizengamot recommended Felix to become the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot. As a result, he automatically became a member of the International Confederation of Wizards.
On the other hand, the students were also very curious about the details of what happened in the Parliament Building.
"You really sang the school song in public?" Ernie MacMillan said in surprise. He kept turning his head, but Harry, Ron and Draco all looked sickly and obviously didn't want to talk more.
"Overall, the effect is still good. Many people applauded." Hermione encouraged with great fighting spirit.
Harry turned his head away. He would rather call it a disaster. The Hogwarts school song actually has standardized syllables, but when Headmaster Dumbledore was in office, he didn't care about these little things. He allowed students to choose their own tunes, so no one knew who was the first to sing off the track, and in the end the whole tune became a funeral march, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Professor Happ, on the other hand, could talk about the principle of "magic is unrestrained" without blushing or beating his heart, which made Harry admire him very much.
"Anything else interesting?" Colin Creevey asked, holding a small notebook.
"Oh, right!" Harry said as if he suddenly thought of something, "The professor said he was going to go to the moon to look for ancient wizard relics!"
