The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave
Chapter 218: Unexpected Overtime
The Christmas holiday at Hogwarts lasts about half a month, and students usually have to prepare to return to school in the second week of January.
Sun Zhengxing originally planned to take Sun Zhu and Fina home early in the morning on January 2nd, but plans could not keep up with changes, and he actually received a summons from the Ministry of Magic during the holiday.
The one who asked him to work overtime was his direct supervisor, Ludo Bagman, the head of the Department of Magical Sports and Magic. He was rarely seen, but he was easygoing and rarely treated his subordinates harshly. His biggest shortcoming was that he liked to gamble with people, but his gambling luck was very bad, so he was often short of money despite being the head of a department.
In fact, Bagman was called here by his leader, the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic. It was strange that the Sports Department, a lazy department, would not have anything to do unless the Quidditch match was held in the UK. But this time, the Undersecretary actually specifically asked his Asian wizard Sun to go to the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic.
The current Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Tiberius Ogden, was Dumbledore's longtime friend and supporter, and a veteran wizard of the Wizengamot... In short, he was a big shot, and no one knew why he would notice an ordinary clerk like him.
Sun Zhengxing grumbled in his heart, while Director Bagman said that he could do nothing to help, and that it was good enough for him to know so much information. After all, Sun Zhengxing had been in the Sports Department for so long, and he should understand that the most unreliable thing in the world is that his leader will always be reliable.
"Anyway, go to the Wizengamot courtroom on the tenth floor on time. Of course, your overtime pay will be calculated at 7 Galleons per hour. You won't suffer any loss, don't worry." This is what Bagman wrote in the letter.
Such a generous overtime pay, but it has no appeal to him. Unfortunately, as an official of the Ministry of Magic, obeying the orders of superiors is also a basic work quality.
"Dad, why do you have to work overtime during the Christmas holidays every year? Last year, I went on a trip abroad because of overtime... Is there anyone in the Ministry of Magic who can take care of this?"
It’s said that wizards are different from Muggles!
"It's okay, it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm mainly worried about you, Azhu. You will be going back to Hogwarts in three days, and it looks like Dad won't be able to see you off. You must listen carefully to Mrs. Weasley and the others, and remember to write to me when you arrive safely at school."
With the unanimous promise of several mothers, Sun Zhengxing set out on the journey to the Ministry of Magic alone.
Amos Diggory, Arthur Weasley and Jenny Fawcett were all a little confused.
They are both Ministry of Magic officials, so why is Sun the only one to work overtime? He is even in the Sports Department. Who among you here is not busier than him?
With the same doubts in mind, Sun Zhengxing arrived at the Wizengamot Courtroom on the tenth floor of the Ministry of Magic, located deep underground, at exactly 1991: a.m. on January , .
A group of Wizengamot wizards, wearing purple-red wizard robes with a "W" embroidered on the chest, looked calm and serious, and were talking in low voices.
Sun Zhengxing looked around and only recognized a few people.
The person at the top and in the middle is naturally the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, Albus Dumbledore, who is still wearing half-moon glasses and a long curly beard. He is concentrating on drinking tea without looking at anyone. The wizard on his left who also looks a bit older should be the Senior Deputy Minister who came forward to demand someone, Tiberius Ogden. And on his right is the current Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagnold. She has long light blonde hair and a few fine wrinkles on her forehead. She speaks softly and is also talking gently to a female wizard next to her who looks to be in her forties or fifties.
He also knew this female wizard, Amelia Bones, the current head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, a ruthless female politician who had tried to get him transferred to her department.
As if she had noticed his gaze, Amelia looked up at him. Her purple-red robe set off her meticulously arranged warm golden hair, and her gold-rimmed glasses reflected a little light, adding a bit of majesty. Sun Zhengxing's heart skipped a beat, but he saw that the other party just nodded slightly at him and then returned to the conversation.
At least it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise Director Bones wouldn't have this attitude... He comforted himself in his heart.
After relaxing a little, he began to look at the other people on the field. The only wizard wearing ordinary work robes like him was a brown-haired female wizard.
Unlike his awkwardness, the brown-haired female wizard seemed very calm. Seeing him looking at her inquiringly, she raised her eyebrows and nodded at him.
"Dani Abbott, I work at the Wizengamot Administration. I know you, Mr. Sun." She extended her hand to him, and after a simple greeting, she got straight to the point. "You seem a little confused. Let me briefly explain the situation to you."
Sun Zhengxing nodded quickly: "I couldn't ask for more. I'm very grateful."
Danny Abbott calmly found a seat some distance away from the main table, glanced at the mechanical watch on her wrist, and said concisely: "At 10:30, a vote will be held here on whether the new bill will be passed or not."
Sun Zhengxing's originally confused expression became calmer after her brief description.
The Wizengamot Administration under the Department of Magical Law is actually just a branch responsible for coordinating clerical affairs related to the Wizengamot. Because the Wizengamot is the highest wizarding court with legislative and judicial powers, many decisions of the Department of Magical Law need to be discussed with the wizards of the Wizengamot, and Dany Abbott's job is to coordinate and convey relevant information.
This vote was personally initiated by Director Bones in order to pass the liquidation and confiscation of property of the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban that she had been striving for more than a year ago.
"This is a historical legacy. The director is taking on so much pressure and initiating this new bill against all odds. Many people don't understand. But I always support her. I believe she has her reasons for doing so." Dany Abbott sat up straight, not hiding her trust and admiration for Director Bones. "However, most of those involved are ancient pure-blood families, such as the Avery family, the Carrow family, the Rosier family, the Selwyn family, etc. Some of them have imprisoned Death Eaters, while others have only been accused of collusion. But out of a common interest, they all oppose this bill. Fortunately, the minister always supports the director's decision."
Sun Zhengxing rubbed his temple. His intuition told him that this vote would be unusual, but he still felt something was wrong.
"Ms. Ai Bo, thank you for telling me this. However, as you know, I am just an ordinary employee of the Sports Department. Why do you want me to come and listen to this?"
