Chapter 687 The comeback meeting of the old freckles

Scotland, Hogwarts.

The principal's office on the eighth floor of the castle once again became a temporary conference room.

Since Elena entered school, similar situations are not uncommon. Whether it is a general meeting of the school staff, or negotiations between the Ministry of Magic and the school, or even the Gringotts Goblins and the school board of directors have come several times.

However, this time the focus of the controversy did not fall on Albus Dumbledore as the principal.

"Mr. Scamander!? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

Umbridge narrowed her eyes and said in a sharp voice, with a cold smirk on her face.

"Establishing an organization that is completely independent of the Ministry of Magic? This seems to be different from what we have communicated before. Are you dissatisfied with the current work of the Ministry of Magic, or is there a slight deviation in your understanding of the whole thing?

"

Next to Umbridge, Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, also looked a little ugly.

A few minutes ago, Newt Scamander refused his "re-employment" invitation without hesitation. Even if Fudge stacked the bargaining chip with Senior Deputy Minister and Director of the Department of Fantastic Beasts, Newt's attitude could not be changed.

A little change occurs.

"Mr. Scamander, let's just start a new wizarding association. You actually want the Ministry of Magic to take the initiative to abide by the new rules you have formulated. So what else do you want the Ministry of Magic to do? You might as well take over the functions of the Department of Magical Creatures.

Got it!"

"To be precise, there should be four institutions in total."

Newt Scamander nodded seriously and replied calmly.

"But you are right. After the establishment of the association, some of the functions of the Department of Magical Beasts should indeed be divided."

"Mr. Scamander! Do you know what you are talking about?"

The smile on Umbridge's face could no longer be maintained and she said coldly.

"Can I understand that you are planning to re-establish a Ministry of Magic yourself?!"

"Dear Deputy Minister, I have never said that."

Newt glanced at Umbridge and replied calmly, "As I said before, the purpose of the establishment of the Society of Magical Creatures is to standardize laws related to magical beasts from a neutral standpoint."

"If it still belongs to the British Ministry of Magic, what should other countries do?"

Newt Scamander shook his head and looked directly at Umbridge's face without hesitation.

"It's just establishing a worldwide association. How come you think it's like reorganizing the Ministry of Magic? Moreover, if the stance cannot be neutral, how can wizards living in other countries comply and respond?"

"Mr. Scamander, your idea is a little too ideal."

A Ministry of Magic official frowned and retorted, "But I have to remind you, this is not the Gobstone Club! The influence of magical animals in the wizarding world is too extensive. You want to establish a global association to regulate

The entire system in the field of magical beasts, thereby changing the status quo - you really don't understand politics and people's hearts."

"With the expansion of the Society of Magical Beasts, you have too many things at your disposal. Can you guarantee that there will be no problems?"

"I can't guarantee, or I don't think, there are institutions in the world that are free from hidden dangers."

Newt Scamander paused for a moment and continued to answer calmly.

"But if something unexpected happens, there are also the ministries of magic of various countries, the International Federation of Wizards, the International Magical Trade Standards Association, the Wizengamot International Wizarding Tribunal, and thousands of wizards in the wizarding world. They will make everything return to normal.

On track.”

"Once the rules are formed, there will be a reference that can be followed, revised, and overturned. This is the key point."

"Really? So you're the one making the rules?"

Umbridge snorted coldly and spoke softly in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"The Society of Magical Creatures, the Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures, the Council of Magical Creatures, and... well, the Association for the Supervision of the Safety of Magical Creatures Products. There are so many new organizations with different focuses. Don't you think we need to study them carefully?"

"Before these associations were founded, wasn't there any field related to magical animals in the wizarding world?"

Newt asked in surprise.

Over the years, humans and nature have formed many self-evident tacit understandings and symbiotic laws.

In Newt Scamander's view, he is just sorting out some basic rules suitable for everyone to know, in the form of laws and regulations, so that more wizards can treat those magical animals correctly.

Besides...

After a short pause, Newt Scamander glanced at Umbridge and replied meaningfully.

"In my opinion, even if the Ministry of Magic disbands the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures overnight, it will probably not have an immediate impact on the existing magical beast-related fields in the wizarding world - as far as I know, apart from the execution of dangerous magical animals,

Apart from confiscating and fining those sporadic wizards who trade in prohibited magical animals, the ministry doesn't have much other work recently."

"Slander! What nonsense!"

"Mr. Scamander, what do you mean?!"



As Newt Scamander finished speaking, many Ministry of Magic officials gathered in Dumbledore's office couldn't help but refute, and the wizards in charge of the Department of Fantastic Beasts stood up excitedly.

stand up.

If it weren't for the fact that Newt also worked in the Ministry of Magic, they would even...

Even...even...

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that nothing can be done...

After all, in today's wizarding world, although Newt Scamander can't compare to Dumbledore in terms of magical strength, he probably won't be too far behind, and his overall strength may even be better.

As a top master of magical animals, he has a good relationship with many groups of magical animals and rare creatures.

Although his personality is somewhat introverted, Newt Scamander perfectly demonstrates the excellent qualities of Hufflepuff House. In terms of the range of friends he makes, he is not inferior to Dumbledore at all. To be precise, it is even more.

This is one of the reasons why everyone in the Ministry of Magic is afraid of Newt. Newt has too many friends.

If Newt Scamander's proposal is followed and so many neutral organizations related to magical animals are established around the world, there may not be many opportunities for the British Ministry of Magic to intervene in the future.

In fact, over the years, the influence of the British Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world has been greatly reduced.

Just when everyone in the Ministry of Magic was furious and ready to seize the few powers...

"Ahem, cough, everyone, please stop for a moment."

Dumbledore, who had been sitting behind the principal's desk and quietly listening to the arguments, cleared his throat.

Dumbledore shook his head, his blue eyes flashed with light, and he said with a smile.

"Everyone, please be a little more restrained and don't think too far, too big, or too complicated. The reason why we invite everyone to Hogwarts today and organize such a meeting is not to communicate with each other and reach an agreement.

Can we reach a consensus so that there will be no more misunderstandings and contradictions in the subsequent work?”

"I have been listening to it for a while, and I almost understand both of your views. In fact, there is no conflict."

"In this way, I will first stand from the perspective of a bystander and say a few fair words."
