Wizards of Hogwarts

Chapter 31 Return to Magical Congress

Magical Congress foyer.

On the huge wheel engraved with the threat level of magic exposure, the metal pointer moved from "serious" to "urgent", accompanied by a low buzzing alarm sound.

The wizards and witches who were still in the Magic Congress and had not gotten off work gathered together in twos and threes, whispering nervously to each other. The topics were all about the sudden death of No-Majs. From time to time, they would look up at the turntable. Say things like "No-Maj", "President", "Magical Creatures".

Tina carried her suitcase, entered the foyer from the disguised Woolworth Building, and quickly ran up the steps in two steps.In her impatience, she didn't even notice the conversations of her colleagues. She just followed the impression in her memory and hurried to the office where the President of Congress was resident.

That office has a very subtle name: The Pentagon Office.

But what Tina doesn't know is that there are far more people in the Pentagon office than the ones she knows.

Some wizards from the International Confederation of Wizards, because of Gellert Grindelwald, had also rushed to the Magical Congress of the United States at this time, and happened to run into the incident of "the eldest son of the New York Senate and media tycoon was brutally murdered by an unknown magical creature" .

The Pentagon Office was decorated like a parliamentary debate room in the past, with wizard representatives from all over the world sitting on most of the seats.

The host, Ms. Picquery, the president of the Magic Congress, stood on the main seat and presided over the meeting, with Graves sitting on her right side.

"Our American friends are able to allow the breach of state secrecy laws," Swiss representative Heinrich Eberstadt said, "and even seriously threaten to expose our entire wizarding world."

Ms. Picqueri spoke forcefully: "The guy who let Gellert Grindelwald slip away from his hands is not qualified to teach me a lesson here."

Tina's shout interrupted Ms. Picqueli's next words.

"Mr. Chairman, I'm very sorry to disturb you, but the situation is different." Tina stepped into the room with thumping steps, and was suddenly stared at by everyone. Only then did she realize that a real big event seemed to have happened here. Her originally excited voice Also becomes nervous and weak, "urgent"

Tina's voice echoed in the silence. She stopped in the middle of the marble floor, fully realizing what kind of situation she had broken into.

Because all the representatives present, without exception, were staring at her.

Ms. Picquery took a breath and said in a cold voice: "You'd better have a good enough reason to barge in like this, Miss Goldstein."

"Yes, I do." Tina took a step forward, "Your Excellency, a wizard came to New York yesterday and brought a box. This box was filled with magical creatures. Unfortunately, some escaped."

"He arrived yesterday"

Tina nodded.

"It's been 24 hours. An unregistered wizard released magical creatures in New York. But you didn't think you should tell us until someone was killed." The business smile on Ms. Picquery's face completely disappeared, and her eyes were cold. He glared at Tina.

"Who was killed?" Tina looked around in shock.

Ms. Picquery was not in the mood to continue explaining to this adventurous and erroneous witch. She directly asked: "Where is the wizard?"

Tina laid the suitcase flat on the ground, opened the lock, and then knocked on the lid with her fist.

After a second or two, the box was opened from the inside, and Newt, Elrohir and Jacob got out of it one after another.Both Newt and Jacob looked embarrassed, but Elrohir remained calm.

A group of witches focused their attention on the outstanding-looking Elrohir, and several wizards also cast their appreciative glances vaguely.

The British Minister of Magic, Hector Foley, who was also present, said with some curiosity: "Scamander"

Newt, who looked very nervous, closed the box first, and then responded to Minister Hector's words: "Oh, uh, hello, Mr. Minister."

A dark-skinned African wizard represents Momolu Watson. Is Watson really a black man? Asked: "Scamander, Theseus Scamander, that war hero"

Newt's brother was also a war hero. Elrohir was surprised. Newt had said before that his brother was very powerful, and it seemed that he was not pretending to be modest.

"No, this is Theseus' little brother." Minister Hector first answered what Representative Watson said, and then asked Newt, "Newt, what are you doing in New York?"

"Coming to buy an Appaloosa, Mr. Secretary," Newt replied calmly.

"Okay," Minister Hector didn't believe this argument at all, "What on earth are you doing here?"

Newt fell silent, stubbornly refusing to answer.

Ms. Picquery asked her “own friend” Tina: “Goldstein, who are these other two?”

"This is Jacob Kowalski, Your Excellency Chairman. He is a No-Maj and was bitten by one of Mr. Scamander's magical animals." Tina introduced, "And this is Elrohir ,yes"

"He's a good friend of mine. We met by chance on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, and then came to the United States together." Newt suddenly said.

"He comes from"

"The ocean," Newt answered.

Elrohir clicked her fingers, why did this sound weird?

The surrounding wizards had two completely different reactions to Jacob and Elrohir.

Most of them were angry towards Jacob, and some even shouted directly: "Cast the forgetting spell on him quickly"

As for Elrohir, the wizards' attitude was relatively friendly. In addition to the positive influence brought by his "charisma", his calm and composed demeanor also added a lot of impression points.The main reason is that Elrohir is obviously not a Muggle. Although it may not be a wizard, it is at least a "human-like magical species".

Jacob couldn't help but take two steps closer to Newt.

At this time, all of Newt's attention was attracted by the holographic image floating high in the room, which was the body of Senator Shaw.

"Male, about 175cm long, with no abnormal development; his clothes are well-made and he should be worth a lot of money; his neck is unnaturally twisted, as if he suffered an accidental blow; his pupils are dilated on both sides, he should have suffered strong fear during his lifetime; his face is full of mystery The cause of the scar is unknown. Based on the current location, it should be caused by magic." Elrohir, who also noticed the holographic remains, was also making a corpse report in his mind, "An upper-class person who was killed by magic."

Newt murmured: "Merlin's beard."

Ms. Zhou Ya, a representative of the International Federation of Wizards from Asia, asked: "Do you know which of your creatures is responsible for this incident, Mr. Scamander?" Note

Newt looked at Senator Xiao's body intently and said, "This was not done by animals. Don't turn a blind eye. You must know what it is. Look at those scars."

"That's the Obscurus."
