The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 321 Seeking Help
The picture on the TV is still going on.

However, suddenly somewhere in the valley, the space became distorted, and a wizard in a long robe appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the live video signal was interrupted.

Then the two hosts in the studio seemed to hear some orders in their ears. The two frowned, and then immediately returned to their original expressions, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the picture just shown is Star Wars in progress. Leaked footage"

"The Ministry of Magic's action is quite fast!" Melda laughed, looking at the two guys who were still lying on TV and felt amused.

The other people on the side were not as relaxed and freehand as he was.There was an indelible sadness on their faces.Hermione said bitterly: "This time it seems serious."

"Father, it's not like he was sent to catch that kind of thing!" Ron said anxiously.

"I don't know" is not just someone who answered.

Suddenly, the whole kitchen fell into a silence.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Magic has become a mess.

Rufus Scrimgeour, who was the minister at the time, returned to his old business and personally led the Aurors to Hogwarts Castle to clean up monsters.

As time went by, more and more unfavorable news came from the front line. Whether it was a monster escaping or a person being injured, this made the Ministry of Magic tense like a string that was about to collapse.

At this moment, Piers Thicknesse, who was then the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, and Barty Crouch, the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, were meeting with an important visitor.

The meeting took place at the offices of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement on the second floor of Ministry of Magic headquarters.

The Ministry of Magic, which is often in financial crisis, certainly doesn't have much energy for decoration. The office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is simple, with nothing but a bookshelf, a table and two chairs.

At this time, a man in his 60s and [-]s, wearing a decent and expensive suit, looked at the two Ministry of Magic executives with a smile on his face.

Observing words and moods is the most basic ability of a government department. The middle-aged men hardly need to look carefully to find that the eyeballs of these two gentlemen are swollen and their complexions are sallow. It seems that they have not rested for a long time.

After understanding this, he pinched his tie confidently. Before the negotiation started, the other party had already fallen into a disadvantage. It was very simple, they had something to ask from themselves, it should be said, they had something to ask from the British government.

"This gentleman!" Old Barty Crouch spoke first.

"Sir Humphrey Appleby. Cabinet Secretary to the Prime Minister."

"You can also directly call me Sir Humphrey!" The jazz replied with a smile, it seems that he is very concerned about the title of jazz.

Old Barty Crouch's heart was burning with flames, but his face still showed a slightly raised lip expression. He didn't have the habit of wrangling, but went straight to the point: "The Ministry of Magic hopes that the Muggle army can Blockade the Falkirk area of ​​Scotland." (Note: The specific position of Hogwarts cannot be marked, and this is just a guess of the most likely area.)
"This is where your Hogwarts Castle is?" How could a shrewd Sir Humphrey fail to guess the magic of Falkirk?

"When these things happen, the central government is of course responsible for protecting local civilians. But..." Suddenly his tone changed, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"After all, this is the trouble caused by you wizards, we should be qualified to demand compensation from you!"

"We British wizards didn't do this!" Piers Thicknesse couldn't sit still first. Although he was not a pure-blood defender, he would never allow a Muggle to dictate here.

"Sir Humphrey! Please tell your Muggle Prime Minister."

"Sir! I think you should be called Prime Minister of the United Kingdom! Mr. Jim Harker will thank you." Humphrey immediately interrupted him, although he did not understand the meaning of the word 'Muggle' , but it can be noticed that this is definitely not a good word.As a top student who graduated from Oxford University in Classics, he has a unique sensitivity to language.

"Hmph!" Pierce Thickness was very annoyed at this Muggle interrupting him, but under the hint of the old Barty Crouch beside him, he still held back, adjusted his emotions and continued: "Okay, Sir Humphrey, please tell Mr. Jim Harker that the wizards who invaded England this time came from Italy, France, Austria and other places. They are not our people."

"Also," said old Barty Crouch, "the Ministry of Magic can make some 'necessary' compensation, but the Muggle...British government must fully cooperate with us in this matter."

"Of course, this is the cornerstone of this cooperation! We fully understand it. We can even express our sincerity properly." Sir Humphrey adjusted his sleeves and continued: "During our discussion, The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force reported a total of 42 dead monsters. I think these are enough to show our sincerity!"

"The British government is indeed very sincere." Old Barty Crouch said with a half-smile.

"The Ministry of Magic will send someone to the Prime Minister's residence to inform you about the detailed process of this incident." Pierce Thicknesse said with a sneer.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"

After a brief meeting, the meeting between the two high-ranking Ministry of Magic officials and the cabinet secretary finally came to an end.

"I don't understand? Wouldn't it be faster to use the Confusion Charm directly to cast a spell on those Muggles?" Piers Thicknesse yelled angrily at old Barty Crouch.

Although in terms of function, he is half a level higher than Barty Crouch Sr., but the opponent's qualifications far exceed him, and even the entire Ministry of Magic does not have a divisional department that surpasses Barty Crouch Sr. in terms of seniority. long.

And with Rufus Scrimgeour's impending downfall, the ministry's voices about the election of old Barty Crouch as the next Minister of Magic are getting louder.

They seemed to think that the downfall of the previous two ministers had something to do with not being cautious enough, and Barty Crouch, who had worked in the Ministry of Magic for decades, was even better.

And such a person should not deny his son's political future just because of his son's stain.

"Are we going to cast spells on every Muggle soldier?" Old Barty Crouch also raised his voice in response.

"Think about the event in the second half of the year!"

"How many people and how many countries are watching us. As long as this matter is handled properly, we can completely show a posture that the British magic world is not tough and fearless of powerful enemies. How beneficial is this to our bid to host the venue?" ?”

"But."

　The novel still can't appear, so I changed it to a classic trio, which seems quite appropriate
