The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 324 Queen and Magic

Melda didn't stop at Hermione's house much.

It's not that he doesn't want to.It was Mrs. Granger who looked at him strangely, which was very uncomfortable.

So he just ate his lunch and fled back to the Burrow.

"Melda? Where have you been? We've been looking for you all morning."

The sudden appearance of Melda startled the Weasley family.

They are having lunch in the garden.

Melda tiptoed over, and said apologetically, "Hermione has something to ask of me."

Then he told the whole story of what happened that morning.

"My God! Did you go to see Mr. Prime Minister?"

Harry, who was the only one at the table who knew the Prime Minister, immediately said in surprise, that for him, Downing Street was almost out of reach, like a mirage. Even after so many years in the wizarding world, he still didn't feel that he Qualified to walk into Downing Street.

In short, Harry still regards himself as an Englishman in his heart.After that, there are wizards.

"Mr. Huck?" Melda sat on the chair and carefully recalled the TV series she had watched before.

Forehead.
In fact, he only watched the TV series because of cross talk, and he really didn't notice the political game contained in it.

So he can only answer: "Mr. Harker, that is, Mr. Prime Minister, looks quite kind. He is about 60 or [-] years old! Just a little bit"

He was going to say social XX.

"The Prime Minister of the Muggles?" Ron asked in confusion, "What can you do?"

"From a legal point of view, except for the Queen's family, all British citizens are under his rule, including you of course, Ron. More than 700 million people."

"Uh..." Ron was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a while, he said disdainfully: "Then what I'm eating has something to do with him?"

"There must be a relationship, but it's very complicated, and you won't understand it." Melda didn't think Ron's IQ would be able to understand those complicated economic principles.Then he asked on a whim, "Actually, I have always had a small problem."

"If, I mean, if"

"What do you think, Ron, if the Ministry of Magic comes under the Queen's rule?"

"Not good! Can she give my dad a raise?" Ron asked sideways.

"Eh, although Mr. Prime Minister may not be able to afford Galleons, he can pay Mr. Arthur a large sum of pounds. Based on purchasing power alone, it can be regarded as a salary increase!"

"Then I have no objection!" Ron said suddenly.

"Look at what the Ministry of Magic is doing now. Dad hasn't been home for two days. They don't raise their salary for so much work!"

"Shut up! Ron, your father is protecting all of us, how can you measure it in Galleons?" Mrs. Weasley happened to come out of the kitchen. She was holding a pot of roasted potatoes, scolding her son's distorted values .

As she spoke, she looked at Melda with a smile and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"After eating ma'am, at Hermione's house." Melda also nodded in response.

At this time, Gemini jumped out and said, "We support Ron."

George and Fred, whose pockets are getting richer, gradually move closer to Melda.

After they bought a dangerous magical creation, Weasley's pyrotechnic ammunition, to the United States Congress during their summer vacation, it further contributed to their current contempt for officials.

In fact, this is also a simple truth. As the saying goes, how much food is eaten and how much work is done, the Ministry of Magic clearly has no right to force its officials to work more.Even if it is not forced, everyone is voluntary, but out of the credibility of the government, it should also provide corresponding subsidies.

But it is a pity that the Ministry of Magic has not mastered such a simple administrative method, and it is no wonder that the reputation of the Ministry of Magic is getting lower every year.

"Okay, let's not talk about these, let's talk about the impact of this incident!"

Melda continued: "From Mr. Prime Minister, Hermione and I have learned that they have sent troops to surround the area where Hogwarts is located."

"The settlement work is continuing, and judging from the current situation, it should end soon."

"This is a good thing! So, Dad is coming back soon!" Ron said in surprise.

"Don't look at things so simply, okay?" Melda said feebly: "Although the Muggle army still doesn't know the exact location of Hogwarts, according to their abilities, it's only a matter of a few days. Then it will be interesting."

"What's wrong?" Harry asked puzzled.

"The balance of power between the two sides is about to converge. The methods of the Muggle army, Harry, you should also understand that as long as they know the location, there are too many methods that can attack, and most of them are non-contact, non-linear battles."

"The Ministry of Magic made another bad move." Melda sighed.

Perhaps what he said was too esoteric, and the other little wizards didn't realize the danger. Except for Harry, although he could also understand the methods of Muggles, but these days he was worried about Sirius and didn't have much thought used elsewhere.

Everyone continued to eat lunch, and only Melda was idly looking into the distance.

In the afternoon of December, the weather was already very cold.Even if the sun in the sky shines directly on them, there is not much heat.

Suddenly, an ordinary owl flew over from the sky. Melda recognized that one, and it was one of the owls that often sent him letters.

That's the school owl.

It flies close to the ground, holding a parchment letter in its mouth,
After passing over everyone's heads, he threw the letter precisely in front of Harry, and then stood upright on the table, waiting for everyone to feed.

"It's from Dumbledore." Harry looked at the letter in his hand in surprise. After turning it over, a series of beautiful English words reminded people of Dumbledore's signature.

Of course, Harry hasn't read the words exactly as they should. The key people's letters have their names written on the back.

He quickly opened the letter.He took out a piece of parchment.

The letter contained a message to Harry in extremely brief words.

"Sirius is not dead!" Harry stood up excitedly, his hand holding the letter trembling.

"How is it?" Everyone looked at him curiously.

"Dumbledore said that Sirius Grindelwald has been imprisoned in Nurmengard since the summer vacation."

"That is to say, in fact, Grindelwald has been dealing with us all the time since the beginning of school?"

"I'm afraid. Yes!" Melda's words successfully calmed down the momentary Harry, thinking that he had stayed with Grindelwald for several months.And in the last few days of the summer vacation, he lived under the same roof as Grindelwald. Thinking about it now, it is simply chilling.
