The next day, the day after the magical world was exposed, the Ministry of Magic.

Felix, Amelia Borns, and Sirius walked into a small conference room. They had just turned around and came here after a meeting with senior officials of the Ministry of Magic. In the conference room sat members of the original Order of the Phoenix.

"Where's Kingsley?" asked Hestia Jones, jet-black and rosy-cheeked.

"He was instructed to keep the Prime Minister safe," Ms Burns said. "We can't guarantee that Grindelwald or the Saints will take the opportunity and his role over the next period will be critical."

"Ah, is Kingsley going to be the first secretary again?" said Hestia Jones, surprised. Her words were well-founded, and when Voldemort was on the mend, the Ministry of Magic was worried that the Muggle Prime Minister would be imprisoned (especially It was after the then Prime Minister's Assistant had been hit with the imperious Imperius Curse), Kingsley was sent on this mission, and without knowing it, the Prime Minister was very satisfied with his work efficiency as two people.

Of course, the Prime Minister himself was taken aback when he learned the truth.

"So the Muggle Prime Minister is on our side?" Moody asked gruffly.

Ms. Burns said cautiously: "He promised to try to get a peaceful outcome, but we can't take it lightly. He can't control the situation alone. It's easy to start a war, everyone, and any idiot can do it, but peace comes. It’s not easy, it takes hard planning.”

"Well said." Sirius slapped twice.

Felix was thinking of something else. No one knew where Grindelwald was going. Everyone, mainly Abakind and the ministers of magic, including Borns, thought that Grindelwald was hiding. In the dark, waiting for the situation to be chaotic, he took the opportunity to climb up and shout and seize the power of the magic world.

Felix didn't see Grindelwald either, but he met Rozier in Hogsmeade, again under the pseudonym Nickel Noel. Vita Rozier refused to reveal the traces of Grindelwald, or maybe even her I don't know.

As the No. 2 figure of the Saints, she has two missions: one is to serve as a transit point for the members of the Saints, collecting intelligence from all directions; the other is to teach Felix how to pretend to be Grindelwald without any flaws.

"Since you've joined the Ministry on a temporary basis," said Ms. Burns, looking around, "I won't be too polite, I really need people right now.

—The first thing, the Pan-Magic Alliance. Felix agreed to let 'Future World' company cooperate, with Lupin in charge. "

Lupin nodded, took a deep breath and said firmly, "Leave it to me."

"Bill will follow you, he knows fairies well." Ms. Burns continued, and Bill in his seat said earnestly: "And Fleur,

She had long wanted to join the Order of the Phoenix. "Yes, you can arrange it yourself. The second thing is to go out on a mission. Before the negotiation results come out, the Ministry of Magic will adopt a contraction strategy, ordinary people will try to stay at home, and the Ministry of Magic will send a special person to check the defense measures of each family-"

"Do we want to do this too? It's overkill." Mundungus asked as if he didn't wake up.

"No need." Ms. Burns said with a stern face: "You are responsible for another matter, supervising, patrolling and warning various gray areas in the country. I demand that all smuggling, theft and black market transactions hidden in the dark should be suspended. , of course, as long as you lead the way, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"This, this..." Mundungus woke up and said with a bitter face, "You can't ruin my job."

"Smuggling, theft and black market trading are your jobs?" Moody yelled at him.

Mundungus winced to avoid his sight, lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "What do I do, you don't know how many times you caught me before you retired? It's over, even if the ban is lifted. , and no one will be happy to do business with me anymore"

"A Merlin, Second Class," Ms. Burns said stiffly.

Mundungus' eyes lit up. During the last war, he didn't catch anything. There's no way. His credit is too little, and the only credit can't be put on the table. Unlike the others present, they were basically rewarded after the battle.

"If that's the case..." His attitude softened, looking rather moved. Sirius "chichi" laughed out loud, and Burns glared at him, "You continue to be my secretary."

"I refuse," said Sirius carelessly. "I'm going out to work."

Ms. Burns ignored him, "The third thing, I need some people to go abroad to listen to the outside world, including the thoughts of the local wizarding people,

The attitude of the non-magical world towards wizards, etc. "

"Are you worried that the conflict is coming from abroad?" Lupin asked tactfully.

"That's right. Our representatives at the federation are sending back a steady stream of messages," Ms. Burns said solemnly, "but unfortunately,

As far as I know, they have mostly adopted a conservative strategy. As she said that, she glanced at Felix. If she hadn't suffered the shock of repeated thoughts before, she would have been mentally prepared for the exposure crisis in the wizarding world. I'm afraid she would be the same as those Ministers of Magic's choice - actively shrink. , and then resign.

'The word resignation may be an exaggeration, but apart from them, no second Ministry of Magic has actively embraced change, and the most radical thing they have done is to re-examine the proposal she submitted before, and then hold a meeting to discuss it. When the results come out, it is estimated that it will be two or three months later.

"The living environment of wizards in each region is different." Ms. Bones explained: "The relationship between wizards and local governments in the Americas is not good, and the two sides lack mutual trust; the situation in Africa is more complicated, because of differences in language and customs, there are multiple functions. Comparable to the Ministry of Magic, but a much smaller autonomous organization of wizards, don't expect them to agree in the short term"

After talking about business, Ms. Burns relaxed, and everyone talked in twos and threes.

"What about Harry and the others?" Lupin asked Felix. "I saw you taking them into a conference room when I came."

"That's right," Sirius straightened his body and rolled his eyes. "Why don't you give Harry to me, and let's do a mission together. Apart from his lack of experience, his fighting ability is not much weaker than mine."

Felix glanced at him, Harry's current strength has completely surpassed Sirius, and Sirius is simply putting gold on his face.

He said slowly: "Don't think about it, they have a lot of homework to do."

"Homework?" Sirius widened his eyes, seemingly confused.

"Yeah, it's their job to break down the divide between wizards and non-wizards," Felix said, exchanging glances with Ms. Burns, remembering last night at Rita Skeeter's rented apartment conversation that takes place.

Rita Skeeter takes a half-day off citing shock after getting up close and personal with the tornado in front of the Houses of Parliament, the Sun opens its doors to the world's first journalist to publicly interview a wizard Tolerance (if not it will be made a yes), they consider this to be a historic event comparable to the third type of contact, and prepare to create a series of hot news around her.

However, in fact, Rita Skeeter was indeed frightened, but it was not "hit by a wizard's spell" as her superior thought, but the wizarding world was completely exposed. .

"You have to stay, Rita." Felix said happily after hearing about her bizarre experience: "Next, you will have a lot of opportunities to get in touch with confidential information, not written on paper - you have a relationship with people's hearts. There is a keen sense of knowing what they want, and I hope you continue to use your talents to dig out what they really think from the mouths of people from all walks of life. Don't rely on it, take a neutral attitude."

"I can't influence decisions at the top." The expression on Rita Skeeter's face was half anticipation and half ugly. She poked her chin with her long nails, and said slyly, "Unless one by one, you allow me to use magic."

"We're not going to do that," Ms. Burns snapped.

Rita Skeeter rolled her eyes and turned to Felix. Felix pondered and said: "It's too dangerous to use magic to change people's hearts. This is not an isolated incident. In modern society, people have established various connections, and a person's sudden change of attitude will cause suspicion, especially at this time. We would rather trouble A little, the situation isn't that urgent yet."

"What if the situation is urgent and urgent?" Rita Skeeter demanded.

"You have to figure out a question, who holds the power?" Felix gave her a meaningful look, "Do your job well, and you will become a legend among journalists."

Rita Skeeter was lost in thought. She didn't feel irritated. She knew what she wanted.

"How are you going to influence the attitude of the top of the newspaper?" Skeeter asked shrewdly. "I have to know what to do so I can cooperate with you, right?"

"You've got some fame in the gun ban series, put it to good use, and the Ilvermorny wizard who immobilized you with a petrifying spell,

I know you want to scold him so badly, but he actually created an excellent condition for you, so let’s put the resentment away for the time being… Well, our original plan was to send some basic information to the newspaper, and understanding is to remove the alert first step, but suddenly I had a better idea and I had some enthusiastic students on hand who were happy to help. "

"Okay, I'll take a look..." Rita Skeeter smacked her lips in dissatisfaction and asked, "What about my safety?

"The Ministry of Magic will send Aurors to provide protection," Ms Burns said.

...

"It's worse than I thought, I thought I was just bubble tea, running errands, or writing a bunch of inexplicable reports like Percy," Ron couldn't help complaining, "but who can tell me , why do we write papers at the Ministry of Magic?

"Ron, what we're doing means a lot!" Hermione said solemnly.

Harry didn't speak, he stared listlessly at the parchment in front of him, not a word on it. He'd seen in the Pensieve being a wizard, but none of them could help - none of them had the skills to contribute to a Muggle newspaper.

He and Ron, Sirius and others stayed at the school for the night last night. Hermione was taken home by the professor, but they didn't expect to meet again in the hall of the Ministry of Magic early this morning. The professor did not let them do chores, but led them to an empty conference room, took out quills and ink bottles and asked them to write a letter, the content of which was probably to introduce their life as a student at Hogwarts, Professor Hepp warned They cannot disclose names, addresses and any confidential information.

Harry looked around, there were only three of them at first, but not long after Professor Hepp went out, he brought back some people one after another, all of whom were his classmates at school.

These students can be roughly divided into two camps. The first is related to the Order of the Phoenix, such as Neville and Ginny, and of course him, Ron and Hermione; the second is the families of public servants of the Ministry of Magic, Susan Burns, Ernie Cormac McLaggen, Zacharias Smith (Harry and Ron hated him), Draco Malfoy, and Autumn Zhang, she brought her friend, Harry can't remember the girl The name seems to be Mary or something.

But—as soon as Harry turned his head and stared at Luna's fluffy blond hair, he couldn't figure out why she was even here. Perhaps because Luna's father, Mr. Lovegood, had a partnership with Professor Hepp? He knew that the magazine "Who Will Decide the Ancient Rune" was printed along with the naysayers. When he read the article one time, he found that there was an extra page of trolls attached to it. Ron had collected that issue.

Luna looked at Harry with pale eyes

"Dad and I lived in Hogsmeade last night and he wanted to thank Professor Hepp himself."

"Oh," Harry blinked, "I heard that the Three Broomsticks room is full?" He actually wanted to ask why he was thanking Professor Hepp, but he suddenly remembered that the professor had lent Luna the Resurrection Stone, and he felt in his heart. Suddenly, the topic changed.

"Yeah, so we live in the Hog's Head," Luna said happily. "Luckily, there was the last room left when we asked. Even luckier, when Dad got up at night to go to the bathroom, it happened to be Saw Felix out of the window, they chatted for a while, and the professor mentioned that he needed some help from students, so here I am."

"Lucky enough," said Harry, who knew how bad things were at the Hog's Head. But he couldn't help but wonder in his heart that the professor's purpose in Hogsmeade was to meet someone?

"Is Aberforth all right?" Hermione interjected.

"He probably hasn't seen so many guests in his life, so I don't know if it's a good thing for him." Ron frowned.

He's fine," Luna said earnestly, "but he's going to sell the bar.

"What's going on?" Harry looked surprised.

Luna shook her head slowly, "He didn't say it, I think he has more important things in his mind."

Harry put his attention back on the parchment, and he looked sideways. Hermione had written a third of the parchment, and she could see that she was serious, biting her lip and thinking, and Ron was only writing. After two lines of writing, Harry stared at the freckles on his nose for inspiration, only to find that Ron had a surprised expression, and then he looked down and began to write, as if his thoughts were springing up.

Harry couldn't help but leaned over curiously.

The first sentence is that I have a friend. 'Harry was stunned, and continued to look down.' He was abused by those Muggle relatives since he was a child. Oh Muggle means non-magical people. I noticed that I was driving a flying car to rescue him. Don't make a fuss. Although we were only in the first grade at that time, it was not the first time to take an adventure...

\"Ron." Harry couldn't help protesting.

"What's wrong? I didn't mention your name." Ron said with a smile.

Harry sat back and sulked alone, wondering if he should also write about 'My Muggle Uncle, Aunt, Cousin and Family', if he and Ron were both chosen, they could testify against each other, but he didn't want to be cheap. Ron, thinking about it, also starts with 'I have a friend'.

I have a friend whose whole family is a wizard, and this friend's parents have seven children, so life is not rich (it is much better now), of course it doesn't matter because they are the friendliest people I have ever met, especially compared to my relatives.

Harry paused for a while, but couldn't help but secretly mention the Dursleys. He felt a little stingy. "This friend and I met on the train. His two twin brothers helped me carry the suitcase. He was the first peer I met in the wizarding world - and as I wrote this, Harry realized that it was wrong, the first peer he had actually spoken to in the wizarding world was actually Draco Malfoy, so he Cross it out and change it to 'He was the first peer I met on the train and the first friend I made in the wizarding world, but I quickly made a second, third friend!

One of the electives at school was Muggle studies, and the textbooks were outdated and completely out of date, but another friend of mine (who was also Muggle-born so knew the stuff) said to look at this stuff from a wizard's point of view It's fascinating, and I've seen the paper she wrote:

Why do muggles need electricity? My first friend watched it too, and he asked enthusiastically, even though he didn't take the class. I think it's a pity...

Near noon, Felix came over and read over a dozen letters one by one.

"McLaggen, there's no need to repeat your father's connections at the Ministry of Magic in your letter;"

"Smith, the sense of superiority in your text is too strong, I can't guarantee that its readers want to hit people after reading it."

"Luna, your perspective is unique and detailed, but you mention several unproven Fantastic Beasts. Forget it, it fits your style~www.novelhall.com~ Well, Granger--you It's not very good, it's too rigorous, analyze the similarities and differences between the two sides from the perspective of Muggles and wizards, like from experts in this field, what I want is something written by teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen, but you can vote for The Daily Prophet."

"Miss Burns, the angle of your 'Aunt Minister of Magic' is very interesting. You might as well write more. You can master the scale yourself."

"Weasley, you have confessed to your illegal behavior, especially those few psychological descriptions are very exciting, it can be seen that you are the mastermind.

- No change, it's interesting, but I suggest you cross out the part where you suspect I'm the heir to the Chamber of Secrets.

"Potter, I'm not sure - um, how did you know Mr. Weasley was snoring in his sleep? Oh, Ron told you well, Arthur's garage has so many goodies hidden in it - Molly knows ?"

Felix supervised them to change it again, and finally made a very targeted opening, and then picked out a few of them and handed them over to an Auror.

"Send to The Sun Station.

.

In the afternoon, the press conference was held as scheduled in the meeting room of the Ministry of Magic, with countless families of wizards standing in front of the magic radio. Felix's calm and confident voice spread to thousands of households:

"...We are forced to be involved in an unprecedented torrent of times, and everyone is involved in it. I hope that when we look back on this history in a few years, each of us can point to the world behind us and proudly say to the younger generation, that is us. era of creation.

At the same time, the front desk of The Sun also received several letters from enthusiastic little wizards.
