The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

In the afternoon, everyone sat on both sides of a long table again.

The lunch break that Old Harris gave everyone was very short, less than an hour.

This eagerness was conveyed to the French delegation through the behavior of old Harris, which further confirmed their inner suspicions.

Soon, as the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the conference room were covered with magic curtains, and the magic lamps hanging from the ceiling released bright but not dazzling white light, this meeting concerning the future of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China and the Ministry of Magic of France was officially launched. Turn on.

But unlike the previous tense situations, the atmosphere of the current formal mediation meeting was surprisingly good.

Link and Dumbledore remained silent as before.

To be honest, they are not the type to be that verbally aggressive.

At noon, if Old Harris and the group from the French Ministry of Magic hadn't taken the lead in provoking and humiliating themselves, Link wouldn't have bothered to say those words.

Old Harris also returned to his previous smiling appearance.

It was as if he was not the one who left the table angrily at noon.

As for the representatives of the French Ministry of Magic, that is not to mention.

They have a gentle aura all over their bodies, and there is a gentle smile between their eyebrows. They even nod friendly when they accidentally make eye contact with Link and Dumbledore.

Before they thought, the outcome of this negotiation was already determined.

Link's provocative behavior at the luncheon had tipped the balance of victory to them.

When facing losers, winners always have to show something.

And that's the mercy they gave Link and Dumbledore.

Even if it is, give the loser some face compensation.

With various thoughts in mind, Link and the French Minister of Magic cooperated with Old Harris to recite the tribute to the International Federation of Wizards word for word.

Next, there is the issue of compensation.

The French Ministry of Magic cannot avoid this aspect.

The French wizard that Link captured during the last anti-terrorism arrest operation has served as a witness and submitted all the evidence directly to the International Federation of Wizards under Dumbledore's operation, truly nailing the case of the man inside Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Norton's culpability.

So when old Harris just announced his entry into this issue, the French Minister of Magic stood up and said:

"As for Professor Norton's crime, we have also confirmed it during the investigation after the incident. Professor Norton is indeed guilty, but according to the power given to us by the International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Act of the French Ministry of Magic, Professor Norton's disposal power belongs to Our department, so before coming here, our Department of Magical Law Enforcement has already punished Professor Norton appropriately."

"Oh? What kind of punishment is it?"

Facing Old Harris' question, the French Minister of Magic's smile did not diminish, he picked up a document and recited:

"Dear Mr. Harris, according to the public trial of the French Magical Law Enforcement Department, the final verdict given by the jury was to sentence Professor Norton to a fine of 20 gold galleons and a prison sentence of [-] years. The place of detention is Beauxbatons Magic School. This is the people's choice, and I can swear on my life that we did not do anything in it."

At this point, the French Minister of Magic paused and carefully observed Old Harris's reaction.

Because to be honest, the difference between being punished and not being punished is really not big. Norton was originally a professor at Beauxbatons, and now he has become the acting principal. It doesn't matter to him that he can't leave Beauxbatons.

What's more, if Norton really wants to go out, no one will stop him.

This is a bit like treating all the representatives here as monkeys.

However, Old Harris just nodded calmly when he heard this, and there were not many emotional fluctuations on the faces of Link and Dumbledore.

The French Minister of Magic breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"We deeply regret the attack on the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China and Hogwarts. Out of the principle of international mutual assistance, we are willing to provide a certain amount of humanitarian compensation. The specific amount is the amount of losses in this attack calculated by the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China... …Um, how much is it?”

The French Minister of Magic looked through the documents in his hand, looking very anxious.

But soon, he closed the document in his hand, raised his head and smiled sarcastically at Link:

"Well, there's no need to look for it. It's just a small number anyway. Well, the fine given by Professor Norton is [-] gold galleons. On behalf of the French Ministry of Magic, I will add another [-] gold galleons, that is How about twenty thousand gold galleons?"

Link did not speak, but looked at the French Ministry of Magic delegation and others with the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

It was as if he was watching a group of monkeys playing tricks.

Old Harris on the main seat nodded and said:

"Yes, it's a very reasonable amount."

"I need to emphasize again that this money is a humanitarian donation from the French Ministry of Magic to the Ministry of Magic of China, and is not compensation." The French Minister of Magic said again, "This means that our ministry does not recognize French magic. The ministry has done anything inappropriate to the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China. Therefore, we do not need to make any formal apology to the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China!"

Old Harris still nodded.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the French Minister of Magic instantly made him happy.

He came to the International Federation of Wizards for two purposes.

First, Professor Norton cannot be handed over.

Second, we cannot apologize or show weakness to the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China.

These two points are about the dignity of the French wizarding community and the public support of the French Ministry of Magic.

And now, it seems that these two tasks have been completed directly?

If it's so easy, can I ask for more?

Once this idea appeared in the mind of the French Minister of Magic, he could no longer suppress it.

He licked his lips, suppressed his inner excitement and said:

"In addition, our department has clear evidence that in July, Mr. Link Foley and Professor Dumbledore infiltrated Beauxbatons out of jealousy of the rapid development of the French wizarding world and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and A horrific terrorist attack was launched on Beauxbatons!

Here, I ask the Ministry of Magic of the United States to publicly apologize to the Ministry of Magic of France and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and to compensate for the losses caused by this incident of about 700 million gold galleons. At the same time, Link Foley and Albus should be sentenced to... Dumbledore's death! "

After saying everything in his mind in one breath, the French Minister of Magic gasped and looked at Old Harris nervously.

His request was far more outrageous than the French Ministry of Magic's previous judgment against Norton.

But based on the previous performance of Old Harris, he felt that Old Harris was very likely to pass his proposal!

"I think...that makes sense."

As old Harris spoke again, the French Minister of Magic and the representatives of the French Ministry of Magic around him almost jumped out of their seats with excitement.

No one knows the significance of this better than them.

After completing this originally impossible task and forcing the Ministry of Magic of France to submit, they will become heroes of the French magic world and be forever engraved on the inscriptions of the French magic world for future generations to admire!

This is the supreme honor!

"I think the French Ministry of Magic has finished its presentation. Then Commissioner Link Foley, as a representative of the French Ministry of Magic, do you have anything else to say about this?"

Old Harris glanced at the excited people at the French Ministry of Magic, then turned to Link and said.

There was still a smile on his face, as warm and gentle as ever.

Dumbledore almost couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Link changed to a more relaxed sitting position and said:

"Norton has caused great harm to the magical community of the Republic of China. I must extradite him back to the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China to face trial."

"Mr. Link Foley, maybe what I said before was not clear enough, I must remind you again now!" The French Minister of Magic interrupted, "The power to judge Professor Norton belongs to our French Ministry of Magic. This is The "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" has given our ministry the power. And Professor Norton has completed his trial in our ministry and has begun to accept punishment. In other words, your Ministry of Magic of the United States has no power to extradite him, nor does it have the power to punish him. Conduct a second trial!”

Link ignored the French Minister of Magic at all and kept his eyes on old Harris.

After a moment of silence, Old Harris finally nodded and said:

"Okay, I agree with this."

He turned to look at the French Minister of Magic, "Mr. Minister, I hope you can hand over the criminal Norton to the French Ministry of Magic within a week. This is the decision made by the International Federation of Wizards. I hope there will be no surprises." situation, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable for you.

Gulu</span>So, Commissioner Link Foley, do you want other compensation? "

"Ha! You've said that, then I'll ask for some more." Link sneered and looked at the French Minister of Magic, "The French Ministry of Magic would like to publish a report to the French Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just apologize and pay a casual compensation of 80 million gold galleons.

This is interesting enough, right?You just wanted me to pay 700 million yuan. "

The French Minister of Magic had no time to pay attention to Link's taunts.

Now all his attention was focused on old Harris.

It is different from before.

He now had an extremely unpleasant premonition.

Under the suppression of this feeling, he felt that the blood in his body had stopped flowing.

His hands and feet were cold, his face was extremely pale, and cold sweat as big as a soybean was constantly breaking out from his forehead.

"It is indeed very interesting. So let's do it. The public apology and compensation will also be added to the conclusions of this meeting, and they must be completed within a week. This should be no problem, right? Mr. Minister?"

Old Harris finally spoke.

The words that came out of his mouth were pretty much what the French Ministry of Magic had expected.

But even though he had been mentally prepared, when he heard those words, they still pierced his chest like a sharp sword, making him feel breathless.

He slumped down on the back of the chair, so weak that he seemed to die in the next second.

However, soon, a flush appeared on his pale face.

He suddenly slapped the case again and said:

"That's not fair! What about Link Foley and Dumbledore's attack on Beauxbatons? How could you ignore this fact and impose such a rough penalty!? We...Professor Norton did it because they invaded first Beauxbatons only wants revenge, what's wrong with him? Why should he only punish us?"

Old Harris looked at the incoherent Professor Norton, waited patiently for him to finish, and then said:

"So do you have any conclusive evidence about this matter that you can submit to the International Confederation of Wizards?"

"Of course we do! Everyone who survived that disaster is a witness, they all saw it! And Beauxbatons...the remaining ruins of Beauxbatons Magic School are physical evidence, those..."

"Mr. Minister, none of this can be regarded as conclusive evidence. I think if you really had conclusive evidence, you should have handed it over to the International Federation of Wizards as soon as the incident occurred. But you did not Do that. As for now, too much time has passed, so long that you can completely fabricate a series of evidence chains. So... I reject your application."

Old Harris suddenly said seriously, "In addition, I must remind you, Mr. Minister, you will be legally responsible for slandering other leaders of the Ministry of Magic, although I don't think Commissioner Link Foley will be involved in this matter." That's all I need to do is to hold you accountable. Moreover, I think you should pay more attention to issues related to etiquette and politeness. When you explained your requirements and situation to me before, Mr. Link Foley did not make any interruptions. And you? How many times have you interrupted since Commissioner Link Foley spoke?"

The French Minister of Magic was unable to answer Old Harris' question.

Now, he was completely defeated by such a huge contrasting blow, and his whole body collapsed.

If the French Auror Minister next to him hadn't quickly stepped up to help him, he would have fallen under the long table.

Looking at the chaos on the French Ministry of Magic delegation, Old Harris also shook his head slightly with a sarcastic expression.

He turned to Link and Dumbledore and smiled, then stood up and announced loudly:

"Then this is the preliminary conclusion of the meeting. I think everyone will have objections. After all, this is a fairly fair agreement."

As he spoke, Old Harris' eyes drifted past Link and the French delegation, as if asking for their opinions.

Link smiled and said nothing, and the French delegation was completely in a state of confusion and retreat after the French Minister of Magic lost his ability to do things. Among them, the remaining Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Auror Minister were among them. People don't even have the courage to look into the eyes of old Harris.

Old Harris was quite satisfied with this.

He smiled and nodded and continued:

"The progress of our meeting on the first day was really fast. Of course, we still have a lot of detailed content to discuss later. This is the procedure. However, given the current poor state of the French Minister of Magic, our meeting will end here today. .We can leave the remaining content to the content tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

So now, gentlemen and ladies, please be free.

Although you cannot leave the guest building of the International Federation of Wizards and browse the Sky City outside.

But I believe you can still get a pretty perfect experience in this building.

I wish you a good time. "

After Old Harris finished speaking, his entire figure began to gradually distort, and then completely dissipated.

Seeing this scene in Link's eyes, he couldn't help but marvel.

As a wizard whose combat power has reached the legendary level, he can be sure that the old Harris who was sitting there meeting with them earlier is a real person and not a so-called projection.

In other words, what the other party used to disappear was a magic similar to Apparition.

Sky City’s space technology is really outstanding!

Link sighed, and his eyes naturally fell on the French delegation opposite.

At this time, they had recovered slightly from the initial chaos.

It's just that the French Minister of Magic is still not very conscious. His eyes are dull and he mutters something like 'This is not fair'.

The other officials glared at Link and Dumbledore.

"You must have made an appointment with that guy Harris, right! You have already reached an agreement and are treating us like monkeys!"

The hot-tempered French Auror Minister clenched his fists and spoke loudly.

Upon hearing this, Link and Dumbledore smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

They were lamenting the stupidity of the French delegation.

How could there be such stupid people in this world?

The so-called mediation meeting actually ended when Link and Dumbledore appeared together at the International Federation of Wizards.

Even if the delegation from the French Ministry of Magic didn't notice this at first, they should have noticed it when Link suppressed them with a pressure field unscrupulously at the luncheon.

You know, this is the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards.

Can ordinary wizards here, in front of the elder Harris, openly cast spells to attack representatives of the other party?

What are you thinking?

This is a huge disrespect and you will be kicked out directly.

But old Harris endured it and even took the initiative to step down.

Why is that?

Of course, this is because Link and Dumbledore are both legendary level wizards.

For a wizard of this level, if a normal Ministry of Magic has one, it can be said that there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.

But now there are two people in the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China, and one of them is still so young!

It's ridiculous that the French Ministry of Magic delegation had the guts to look down on the representatives from the Chinese Ministry of Magic for not being heavyweight enough.

Little did he know that the presence of these two legendary wizards in person meant they were much more important than the so-called top officials of the French Ministry of Magic!

In the magic world, hard power will ultimately speak for itself.

Even the International Federation of Wizards must abide by this rule.

After all, although Sky City's space technology is outrageous, they are actually not good at fighting against a single powerful individual.

If Link and Dumbledore become angry and join forces to revolt, then most of Sky City will be burned to the ground.

So it no longer matters whether things are right or wrong.

The outcome has already been determined.

Link smiled disdainfully, stood up with Dumbledore and left the conference hall.
