On the same day, Felix made a declaration of victory in the face of Grindelwald. 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 chaos in Africa.
After that, Felix returned to the headquarters of the federation, and Aginbad told him a piece of news with an excited face.
If nothing else, the important International Confederation of Wizards Congress will be held in early October. Ms Burns will speak on behalf of the system on the results and significance of a series of initiatives over the past three months, as well as the outcome 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 up various principles for the Ministry of Magic of various countries to implement. It may take a few weeks, but the benefits are obvious -
The wizard will reunite as a whole.
And what gives Arginbad the most confidence is that, as one of only two sorcerers in the wizarding world still active on the world stage, Felix Heppe will make sure the law is enforced.
In the afternoon, Felix went to the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry again, and met with Madame Maxime as the school's director. They had only met not long ago, at Bill and Fleur's wedding, but Madame Maxime insisted on inviting her. He went to Beauxbatons.
"Isn't there something wrong with the scholarship?" Felix asked. He hadn't counted the property of Nick Lemay's vault, but he estimated that it could be used for another hundred or two hundred years.
"The goblins of Gringotts transfer a sum of money into the school treasury every year," said Mrs. Maxime, looking sullen, "and they will mail you the list."
"Maybe I missed it," Felix said quietly. "There are so many people who write to me every year. So it's not because of this?"
"of course not."
"what is that?"
"Felix, you are the trustee of the Beauxbatons School, but you have missed three board meetings and haven't even shown up at the school since the crisis." Mrs. Maxime said in a low voice, her chest starting ups and downs.
"I haven't forgotten this identity." Felix said immediately and solemnly: "I asked you before, Nick doesn't care at all, so I, like him, have no plans to interfere in the specific affairs of the school."
"That's two different things, Felix." Madame Maxime protested, "Lemay lived for hundreds of years, his concept of time is different from ours, and we won't disturb him easily... But you are only two years old. Teenagers, how do you want me to tell the students that the school directors don't care after such a big incident?"
...
"So I stayed at Beauxbatons, walked around, pointed out some of the students' academic problems, and ended up having a meal with everyone in the cafeteria - which was amazing. The only thing that was a little embarrassing was that they called me' Mr. Apple', but that's the way it is." In the new vice-chancellor's office in the evening, Felix told Ms. Burns: "I can probably guess what Mrs. Maxime was thinking: play a mascot, soothe people. There may be a plan to call me over to help if there is a problem.”
"She's a responsible headmaster," Ms Burns said. "It may sound like a fuss to you, but it's important for her to maintain her relationship with you. Otherwise why is the Ministry of Magic looking at your face so much? Send people to the Federation?"
Felix hesitated, of course he knew why, but he joked: "I thought my eloquence played a role."
The corners of Ms. Burns' mouth twitched slightly, seeming to be amused by the statement.
"Yeah, Grindelwald occupies one-third of the African wizarding world, probably because of his eloquence." After laughing, she said solemnly, "Felix, now the Muggle Prime Minister proposes to cooperate in completing an official document— - In addition to letting the public know the phased results of our negotiations, there is something else - I want you to be involved. This will be the first material that will be shared and recognized by both parties, and it will be very meaningful, and you have in this regard rich experience."
Felix almost forgot that he also has a title of author. 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?"
“It’s a lot faster than it used to be,” Ms. Burns said, “but we’re not just dealing with a fairly stable domestic environment—there are opponents, but it doesn’t hurt; With all kinds of miscellaneous organizations, there are countless factors that can affect the peace talks. The tacit understanding 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 extraneous problems..."
"As for other issues, I will write them down on the memorandum first, and leave them to be perfected later. Just like the secrecy law was not what it looks like now..."
She briefly introduced the latest negotiation progress, and then extended the invitation again. Felix agreed.
night.
Felix was reading the material left by Ms. Burns at his desk. Many of the important questions in it were originally drawn up by the two men, but over time, some progress has been made, and some still have objections. He needs to Knows all the details.
The small golden clock on the table pointed to twelve o'clock, and the light in the office was still on. Felix looked up and found Warren dozing off on his little table, he smiled and wrapped it 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 have made every effort to make this book appear on the desks of countless people as soon as it is released, and be used for repeated research. Some of the contents were summarized in concise words in newspapers, which attracted heated discussions, and each page could set off a wave of public opinion.
But in fact, it's not so much a negotiated treaty as a white paper on witchcraft-related politics, authoritatively issued by the authorities -- at least privately compared to government reports by many journalists. It represents the respective positions of both parties, mainly stating the facts and the current negotiation results, as well as future measures and expectations.
Some of the above important words are likely to evolve into the basis for both parties to act in the future, or expand into targeted laws.
"The book "Providing Help for the Openness of Magic" is divided into three parts. The first part is divided into three chapters, which respectively expound the significance of the cooperation between the two parties, briefly describe the history of wizards, and the intersection between the two parties in history." Min said in one breath, swiped his fingers one by one from the catalog, turned to a page and read it for a while, then raised his head and said with a complicated expression: "The person in charge of the negotiation must have spent a lot of thought, racking their brains for this—"
"But it's boring to read," said Ron. "I have the illusion that I'm reading a History of Magic textbook."
"That's what it's about, isn't it? Try not to be emotionally charged," said Hermione. "But the real point of view is subtly hidden, no, presented to you. You don't see it. !"
Harry looked at her, if it had been two months ago he might not have understood the meaning of the sentence, but the recent frequent writing has made him feel new.
"Wait—" He took the book from Hermione's hand, turned to Chapter 3 and quickly glanced through the subtitles between chapters, raised his head and said thoughtfully, "I probably understand what you mean, The appearance of each of these words is the result of the delegation's struggle."
Hermione sighed in relief.
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked impatiently.
"Look at this," Harry said, pointing to a page. "1917—" "It was during the First World War," Hermione interjected. "—Well, that's right," Harry continued, "a small town named Noah Lida shelters her life, oh, she's a bit special, originally an Englishman, and later married to France..."
"Bill and Fleur?" Ron picked up a similar example in his mind, "only the relationship is reversed."
Hermione warned him not to interrupt. Harry continued: "And this, when the Ministry of Magic fought off wizards from hostile nations, including taking over an army of dragons, and hey, that mentioned Mr. Scamander, who did a great job." The tone was a little excited.
Ron gradually came to his senses. "Sounds like we've helped? But aren't wizards not involved in Muggle wars?"
"That's right, but the Ministry of Magic also has a duty to protect ordinary people in the area from being threatened by magic," Hermione said. "Especially when some wizards and Muggles combine, they are more inclined to protect their neighbors. It's more common in times of mass social unrest, and there's a lot of material in the Ministry of Magic—well, I mean illegal records."
Ron rolled his eyes.
"You mean that some wizards spontaneously protected their neighbors during the war, only to be punished for using magic when they were discovered?"
Hermione's expression was also a little embarrassed, at least in this case, the Ministry of Magic played no positive role.
"The secrecy law was still in effect at that time. But there was such a problem, that is, if you pay a fine, you will not be sentenced, and you will not be sent to Azkaban."
"Okay," said Ron reluctantly.
"But in general," Hermione raised her voice slightly, "most of the wizarding images shown here are positive...and there are some sneaky and Muggle tricks, but you'll find that these people ended up being punished by the Ministry of Magic. Punishment, that speaks volumes."
"It's more than that," she continued: "I think the most important part of the first part is the complete exposition of two points of view, and their role is very important. The first point of course is to affirm the role of wizards, which are mentioned above. Magical disasters have always been eliminated by wizards in the dark. The second point - I don't know if you have noticed that all 'wizards' have a word in front of them?"
Harry glanced down.
"British wizards? England?"
"Yes, the discussions here are all about British wizards, and it obscures 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 external voices-"
"But the Pan-Magic League...?" Harry muttered.
"They're not the same, Harry, they're not the same," Hermione explained patiently. "Even though in essence they're both designed to make wizards less constrained, they're different. The former - the word 'British wizard'. The interference of other countries is basically excluded, and at least there is an excuse to refuse to bring the affairs of wizards to the international discussion and wrangling; the latter pan-magic alliance is to strive for the autonomy of wizards to the greatest extent."
"Sounds complicated." Ron was dizzy at the moment.
"These are very serious political issues," Hermione said solemnly. "Even a tiny concept can have a chain reaction in the future, so the Ministry of Magic has been evading for a while and formulating various details, think about it. Well, wizards don't even have a profession like a lawyer..."
"Hermione," said Harry, "I know you're right, but there's one thing you may have missed, and that's the power of wizards themselves. Do you know what I just thought?" He didn't wait for Hermione to answer. Instead, he answered himself, "It's Grindelwald in Africa."
"Two months ago, at the beginning of August, what we saw in the newspapers about the situation in Africa was nothing but chaos - when the International Confederation of Wizards had not regained its prestige with the help of Professor Hepp - It all changes with the appearance of a person."
"Harry," said Hermione nervously.
"There were quite a few predictions at the time that in another two weeks, wizards would be involved in regional disputes as an uncontrolled force. Now two months later, the situation there has not become more chaotic, but has completely stabilized. ——At the most dangerous time, Grindelwald defeated 300 wizards in one night, relying on one person! Not even one person died because of this, I don’t know if it was the limitation of the oath... Sometimes I have an illusion, That is, Professor Hepu seems to have reached a tacit understanding with Grindelwald, tacitly, without interfering with each other..."
"There are newspapers claiming that they are brewing an unprecedented duel, just like the legendary duel half a century ago," Hermione's voice trembled slightly. A terrifying destruction effect on another faction."
Ron also said: "All wizards look forward to it from the heart, it's just not the time."
"It's not just the wizarding world that's looking forward to it," Hermione shrieked.
That's right, it's not just wizards who are looking forward to it. Governments of various countries have noticed this problem, and they are extremely jealous and curious about wizards with the title of "Archmage". Gellert Grindelwald and Felix Heppe, the former seems to be a careerist, and a failed one, but the threat level keeps changing with his appearance at the wizarding tavern in the Egyptian capital. high.
As for the latter... It seems that he is good at a magic called ancient rune, and he has been to the moon. Although his specific fighting talents are hidden in the fog, at least his survivability is beyond his reach.
This kind of thinking of confrontation and analysis of strength is completely instinctive~www.novelhall.com~ Almost every regime will do similar things, but it does not mean that they intend to go to war with wizards, especially with their own wizards.
What they really can't bear is the guy who walks around with the nuke in his hand...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 possess abilities that make them feel extremely difficult - such as Apparition, traveling on flames, creating unquenchable fires, folding space - but these seem to Magical wizards are dwarfed by the 'Archmage'.
They can only blame the magic and the weirdness of magic. Modern weapons are basically built on the basis of physics, with many branches, and everything seems to be traceable. But unfortunately, it is still difficult to analyze the principle of magic with current scientific theories. Just look at the scientists who are about to go bald.
"Part Two and Part Three..."
Similar analyses are being conducted around the world. At about the same time, Grindelwald's manifesto also spread with the fermentation of the previous two weeks.

The media and publishing houses of the two societies have made every effort to make this book appear on the desks of countless people as soon as it is released, and be used for repeated research. Some of the contents were summarized in concise words in newspapers, which attracted heated discussions, and each page could set off a wave of public opinion.But in fact, it's not so much a negotiated treaty as a white paper on witchcraft-related politics, authoritatively issued by the authorities -- at least privately compared to government reports by many journalists. It represents the respective positions of both parties, mainly stating the facts and the current negotiation results, as well as future measures and expectations.Some of the above important words are likely to evolve into the basis for both parties to act in the future, or expand into targeted laws."The book "Providing Help for the Openness of Magic" is divided into three parts. The first part is divided into three chapters, which respectively expound the significance of the cooperation between the two parties, briefly describe the history of wizards, and the intersection between the two parties in history." Min said in one breath, swiped his fingers one by one from the catalog, turned to a page and read it for a while, then raised his head and said with a complicated expression: "The person in charge of the negotiation must have spent a lot of thought, racking their brains for this""But it's boring to read," said Ron. "I have the illusion that I'm reading a History of Magic textbook.""That's what it's about, isn't it? Try not to be emotionally charged," said Hermione. "But the real point of view is subtly hidden, no, presented to you. You don't see it. !"Harry looked at her, if it had been two months ago he might not have understood the meaning of the sentence, but the recent frequent writing has made him feel new."Wait" He took the book from Hermione's hand, turned to Chapter 3 and quickly glanced through the subtitles between chapters, raised his head and said thoughtfully, "I probably understand what you mean, The appearance of each of these words is the result of the delegation's struggle."Hermione sighed in relief."What are you talking about?" Ron asked impatiently."Look at this," Harry said, pointing to a page. "1917" "It was during the First World War," Hermione interjected. "Well, that's right," Harry continued, "a small town named Noah Lida shelters her life, oh, she's a bit special, originally an Englishman, and later married to France...""Bill and Fleur?" Ron picked up a similar example in his mind, "only the relationship is reversed."Hermione warned him not to interrupt. Harry continued: "And this, when the Ministry of Magic fought off wizards from hostile nations, including taking over an army of dragons, and hey, that mentioned Mr. Scamander, who did a great job." The tone was a little excited.Ron gradually came to his senses. "Sounds like we've helped? But aren't wizards not involved in Muggle wars?""That's right, but the Ministry of Magic also has a duty to protect ordinary people in the area from being threatened by magic," Hermione said. "Especially when some wizards and Muggles combine, they are more inclined to protect their neighbors. It's more common in times of mass social unrest, and there's a lot of material in the Ministry of Magicwell, I mean illegal records."Ron rolled his eyes."You mean that some wizards spontaneously protected their neighbors during the war, only to be punished for using magic when they were discovered?"Hermione's expression was also a little embarrassed, at least in this case, the Ministry of Magic played no positive role."The secrecy law was still in effect at that time. But there was such a problem, that is, if you pay a fine, you will not be sentenced, and you will not be sent to Azkaban.""Okay," said Ron reluctantly."But in general," Hermione raised her voice slightly, "most of the wizarding images shown here are positive...and there are some sneaky and Muggle tricks, but you'll find that these people ended up being punished by the Ministry of Magic. Punishment, that speaks volumes.""It's more than that," she continued: "I think the most important part of the first part is the complete exposition of two points of view, and their role is very important. The first point of course is to affirm the role of wizards, which are mentioned above. Magical disasters have always been eliminated by wizards in the dark. The second point - I don't know if you have noticed that all 'wizards' have a word in front of them?"Harry glanced down."British wizards? England?""Yes, the discussions here are all about British wizards, and it obscures 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 external voices-""But the Pan-Magic League...?" Harry muttered."They're not the same, Harry, they're not the same," Hermione explained patiently. "Even though in essence they're both designed to make wizards less constrained, they're different. The former - the word 'British wizard'. The interference of other countries is basically excluded, and at least there is an excuse to refuse to bring the affairs of wizards to the international discussion and wrangling; the latter pan-magic alliance is to strive for the autonomy of wizards to the greatest extent.""Sounds complicated." Ron was dizzy at the moment."These are very serious political issues," Hermione said solemnly. "Even a tiny concept can have a chain reaction in the future, so the Ministry of Magic has been evading for a while and formulating various details, think about it. Well, wizards don't even have a profession like a lawyer...""Hermione," said Harry, "I know you're right, but there's one thing you may have missed, and that's the power of wizards themselves. Do you know what I just thought?" He didn't wait for Hermione to answer. Instead, he answered himself, "It's Grindelwald in Africa.""Two months ago, at the beginning of August, what we saw in the newspapers about the situation in Africa was nothing but chaos - when the International Confederation of Wizards had not regained its prestige with the help of Professor Hepp - It all changes with the appearance of a person.""Harry," said Hermione nervously."There were quite a few predictions at the time that in another two weeks, wizards would be involved in regional disputes as an uncontrolled force. Now two months later, the situation there has not become more chaotic, but has completely stabilized. At the most dangerous time, Grindelwald defeated 300 wizards in one night, relying on one person! Not even one person died because of this, I don't know if it was the limitation of the oath... Sometimes I have an illusion, That is, Professor Hepu seems to have reached a tacit understanding with Grindelwald, tacitly, without interfering with each other...""There are newspapers claiming that they are brewing an unprecedented duel, just like the legendary duel half a century ago," Hermione's voice trembled slightly. A terrifying destruction effect on another faction."Ron also said: "All wizards look forward to it from the heart, it's just not the time.""It's not just the wizarding world that's looking forward to it," Hermione shrieked.That's right, it's not just wizards who are looking forward to it. Governments of various countries have noticed this problem, and they are extremely jealous and curious about wizards with the title of "Archmage". Gellert Grindelwald and Felix Heppe, the former seems to be a careerist, and a failed one, but the threat level keeps changing with his appearance at the wizarding tavern in the Egyptian capital. high.As for the latter... It seems that he is good at a magic called ancient rune, and he has been to the moon. Although his specific fighting talents are hidden in the fog, at least his survivability is beyond his reach.This kind of thinking of confrontation and analysis of strength is completely instinctive~www.novelhall.com~ Almost every regime will do similar things, but it does not mean that they intend to go to war with wizards, especially with their own wizards.What they really can't bear is the guy who walks around with the nuke in his hand...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 possess abilities that make them feel extremely difficult - such as Apparition, traveling on flames, creating unquenchable fires, folding space - but these seem to Magical wizards are dwarfed by the 'Archmage'.They can only blame the magic and the weirdness of magic. Modern weapons are basically built on the basis of physics, with many branches, and everything seems to be traceable. But unfortunately, it is still difficult to analyze the principle of magic with current scientific theories. Just look at the scientists who are about to go bald."Part Two and Part Three..."Similar analyses are being conducted around the world. At about the same time, Grindelwald's manifesto also spread with the fermentation of the previous two weeks.
