A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 714 "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.

Afterwards, Felix returned to the federation headquarters, and Akinbad told him the news with an excited face.

If nothing else, 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.

And 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 the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic again, and met Mrs. Maxime as a school manager. They actually met not long ago, at the wedding of Bill and Fleur, but Mrs. Maxime insisted on inviting He went to Beauxbatons.

"Isn't there something wrong with the scholarship?" Felix asked. He hadn't counted the property in Nick Lemay's treasury, but estimated that it could be used for another 200 years.

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

"Maybe I've overlooked it," said Felix flatly. "There are so many people who write to me every year. So it's not because of that?"

"of course not."

"what is 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, her chest began to ups and downs.

"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 two different things, Felix." Madame Maxime protested, "Mr. LeMay has lived for hundreds of years. His concept of time is different from ours, and we won't disturb him easily...but you are only 20 years old. How old are you, how do you want me to tell the students that the school director doesn't care after such a big thing happened?"

……

"So I stayed at Beauxbatons, wandered around, pointed out a few students who were struggling academically, and ended up having dinner with everyone in the cafeteria - which worked out surprisingly well. The only awkward thing was they called me ' Mr. Apple', but that's how it is." In the evening in the new vice-chancellor's office, Felix told Ms. Burns: "I can probably guess what Mrs. Maxime was thinking: to act as a mascot, to reassure people. Maybe there is also 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 a relationship with you. Otherwise, why are so many Ministry of Magic looking at your face? Sending people to the Federation?"

Felix hesitated for a moment. Of course he knew the reason, but he said jokingly: "I thought my excellent eloquence 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 wizarding world, probably because of his excellent eloquence." After joking, she said seriously, "Felix, now the Muggle Prime Minister proposes to cooperate to complete an official document— —In addition to letting the public know about the staged results of our negotiations, there are other things—I hope you will participate. This will be the first document jointly undertaken and approved by both parties, which is of great significance, and you have a lot of experience in this regard rich experience."

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

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

"The speed has been greatly accelerated," Ms. Burns said, "but what we are facing is not only a relatively stable domestic environment-there are opponents, but it is harmless; but we have no way to intervene in international public opinion. There are all kinds of miscellaneous organizations on the Internet, and 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 unnecessary 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 briefed on 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 in it were initially formulated by the two of them, but as time went on, some progress had been made, and some still had objections. He needed to Knows all the details.

The small golden clock on the table pointed to twelve o'clock, and the lights in the office were 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 [-] 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 negotiated treaty as a political white paper related to wizards issued by the authority-at least many journalists compare it to the government report in private.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.

"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." He Min said in a breath, and slid her finger across the catalog one by one, turned to a page number and read 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 this—"

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

"That's the characteristic of it, isn't it? Try not to take personal emotions." Hermione said: "But in fact, the real point of view is cleverly hidden, no, it is shown to you directly. But you turn 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 Chapter 3, glanced quickly at the subtitles between chapters, raised his head and said thoughtfully, "I probably understand what you mean, this The appearance of each of the above words is the result of the delegation's efforts."

Hermione let out a long breath.

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

"Look at this," said Harry, pointing to a page. "1917—" "It was during the First World War," interrupted Hermione. "—Uh, that's right," Harry continued, "a witch named Noah Leda sheltered the town where she lived, oh, her identity is a bit special, she was originally an Englishman, and later married to France... ..."

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

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

Ron gradually came to his senses, "It sounds like we contributed a lot? But aren't wizards not involved in Muggle wars?"

"That's right, 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 their neighbors. 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 after they were discovered using magic?"

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

"At that time, the law of secrecy was still in effect. But if there was such a problem, that is, some fines, basically 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 sneaky and teasing Muggles, but you will find that these people have all been punished by the Ministry of Magic in the end." Punishment, that speaks volumes."

"Not only that," she continued: "I think the most important part of the first part is to fully explain the two points of view, and their roles are crucial. The first point of view is naturally to affirm the role of wizards, which mentioned several Magical disasters have always been eliminated by wizards in the dark. The second point of view—I don’t know if you have noticed that all 'wizards' have a word in front of them?"

Harry glanced down.

"British wizards? England?"

"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 explained patiently: "Although they are essentially designed to reduce the constraints on wizards, they are for completely different objects. The former - the word 'English wizard' Intervention by other countries is basically ruled out, and there is at least an excuse for refusing to bring wizard affairs to the international arena for discussion 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 evading for a while and formulating various detailed rules in one breath, think about it Well, 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 to answer, Instead, he said the answer on his own, "It's Grindelwald in Africa."

"At the beginning of August, the situation in Africa we saw in the newspapers was nothing but chaos—at that time, the International Federation of Wizards had not yet regained its prestige with the help of Professor Haipu—all of which followed the emergence has changed.”

"Harry—" said Hermione nervously.

"Many people predicted that for at most half a month, wizards would participate in regional disputes as an uncontrolled and dangerous force. Now that two months have passed, the situation there has not become more chaotic, but has completely stabilized— ——The most thrilling time, Grindelwald defeated [-] wizards in one night, relying on one person! Not even a wizard died because of it, I don’t know if it’s the limitation of the oath... Sometimes I have an illusion, that It is that Professor Haipu seems to have reached a tacit agreement with Grindelwald, and they are tacit to each other, and they will not interfere with each other for a period of time..."

"Some newspapers claim that they are planning an unprecedented duel, just like the legendary duel half a century ago," Hermione's voice trembled slightly. Inflicts a terrifying and devastating effect on the other camp."

Ron said unnaturally: "All wizards are looking forward to it from the bottom of their hearts, but it's just not the time yet."

"Wizards aren't the only ones looking forward," shrieked Hermione.

That's right, it's not just wizards who are looking forward to it. Governments from all over the world have noticed this problem, and they are extremely afraid and curious about wizards with the title of 'Great Mage'.Gellert Grindelwald and Felix Heap, the former appears to be a careerist, and was a failed careerist, but the threat level keeps rising with his presence in the wizarding tavern of the Egyptian capital .

As for the latter... It seems to be good at a kind of magic called ancient runes, and has been to the moon. The talent in combat is still hidden in the mist, but at least the ability to survive is beyond the reach.

This kind of confrontation and analysis is completely instinctive. Almost every regime will do similar things, but it doesn't mean that they intend to go to war with wizards, especially wars with wizards in their own country.

What they really can't stand 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 gap in strength among wizards seems to be unimaginably large, even though those wizards generally have abilities that make them feel extremely difficult—such as apparition, traveling in flames, creating an inextinguishable fire, and folding space—but These seemingly supernatural wizards pale in comparison to the 'Great Mage'.

They can only attribute it to the wonder and treachery of magic.Modern weapons are basically built on the edifice of physics, and have extended many branches, and everything seems to be traceable.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.

"Parts II and III, respectively, address..."

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.
