"Take out your wands and hold them in your hands." Sirius said to Ryan and the others after walking into the courtyard of the Shrieking Shack. "Then follow me and walk straight ahead."
Ryan and the others took out their wands and put them on their chests like Sirius, and then walked straight to the steps. The brown door on the steps blocked the way for the three of them, but Sirius did not stop.
He walked directly through it. Ryan and the others also walked in, as if the door was made of mist.
"This place was only repaired three days ago, because the Minister of Magic, Ms. Bones, insisted that the Ministry of Magic could only move into the house after all the wizards who came to Hogsmeade to take refuge, so all the people were mobilized at the beginning.
We went to repair those townhouses. It wasn’t until the houses were almost fully repaired that everyone started to repair the Ministry of Magic, which is why the Ministry of Magic has just been repaired." Sirius explained.
"Our new minister is worthy of admiration." Ryan nodded. At this time, they appeared in a white hall. In the center of the hall was a large public notice board, and the magic applied on it caused a large amount of text information to scroll and broadcast.
Ryan stepped forward to take a look and found that these were public information about certain official matters.
Apart from this, there is almost no decoration in the entire hall, which even makes people feel a little shabby.
"Let's go this way." Sirius led them to an elevator. "Doesn't it look a bit simple? Anyway, this is just a temporary place, so it can be used."
"Ding dong." A warning sound came from the elevator in front of him. Sirius immediately stopped talking and took Ryan and the others into the elevator. The elevator was crowded with people at this time.
"Follow closely," Sirius warned. "Because this place was built as a temporary place, the elevators are quite tight. There will always be a large group of people crowded in when each elevator arrives. Don't get lost.
.”
"Well, Sirius." After squeezing out of the elevator from a large group of wizards, Ryan asked curiously. "How do you know where we are going? The appointment letter only said the Department of International Magical Cooperation.
.”
"Of course I know." Sirius shrugged. "Because the Department of International Magical Cooperation here only has one office."
"An office?" Hermione couldn't believe it. "Does such a large department only have one office? I remember that when I was in London, the Department of International Magical Cooperation occupied an entire floor!"
"You also said that it was in London." Sirius spread his hands. "Now our Ministry of Magic has no foreign wizards publicly recognizing it. Even in the Magic Congress of some countries, our side
It belongs to a rebel organization. In this case, what role do you think we need the International Magical Cooperation Department to play?"
"Sounds really miserable." Ryan raised his eyebrows. In this war, the Magical Congress of the United States hopes to split and weaken the British magical community, the core of the European magical community, so it is normal for them to go to support London.
The group in Europe was afraid that Voldemort would bring war to their land, but considering that Dumbledore was still alive to lead the resistance movement, they chose to pretend not to see the changes in the British wizards.
Just as Ryan was thinking about these questions, Sirius stopped: "-Okay, we're here."
What is in front of Ryan now is a wooden door painted with black paint. In the center of the wooden door hangs a bronze plate, which is engraved with: "International Magical Cooperation Department" After bidding farewell to Sirius who went to the Auror headquarters to report on his work, Ryan gently said
They knocked on the door, and after finding no response, they turned the doorknob and stepped into the office.
The office is as plain as the corridor outside, with only a set of brown desks and chairs and a few chairs for receiving visitors. An old man with sparse white hair is writing something behind the desk. This old man looks very old.
It was so loud that even Ryan and the others were not heard coming in.
"Hello!" After waiting for a while and finding no response, Ryan could only take a step forward and said. After hearing Ryan's words, the old man finally reacted and raised his head, and then took something out of his jacket pocket.
He took out a monocle and put it on his left eye.
"Excuse me - what's the matter with you?" the old man asked after looking at Ryan and the others. His voice was very high-pitched and breathy.
"That's it, sir." Ryan took out the appointment letter that Professor McGonagall taught them. "We got this thing from Professor McGonagall yesterday. She told us that Principal Dumbledore hopes that we can come here and become an international magician.
Special personnel of the Cooperation Department. So we want to ask what exactly this is going to do."
"Oh, did Albus recommend you to come here?" The old man took the appointment letters from the two of them and looked at them carefully. "Yes, these were issued by us. As for this specially hired person -"
Having said this, the old man raised his head. "You have to know that in the past, when the Ministry of Magic was in London, the Department of International Magical Cooperation was almost all pure-blood wizards from various pure-blood families. Because they would compete with pure-blood wizards from other countries.
Blood wizard marriage will help communicate with other countries if there is such a relationship."
"But since that person made changes to the Ministry of Magic, almost the entire Department of International Magical Cooperation has stayed in London. It even requires me, an old man over 100 years old, to temporarily end his retirement career to deal with these things. So after hearing that Hogwarts has recently
After there was a group of newly graduated students, I sent a request to Dumbledore, hoping he could recommend some people to come here."
"However, considering the current situation, every department in the Ministry of Magic lacks enough manpower. So I hope to recruit some part-time personnel to run the entire department first. This is why you received this letter of appointment.
By the way, let me introduce myself, I am the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department who signed this appointment letter, Ephias Dorje."
"We are very happy to receive this appointment letter and are willing to do something." Hermione said to Dorje according to what the two people had discussed before coming. "But we have many other things to do now, and
You can’t stay in the ministry every day.”
"Of course, of course I know." As Dumbledore's earliest friend and a core member of the Order of the Phoenix, he certainly knows how important what Ryan and the others are doing now is to everyone today. "You really don't need to do it every day.
We all stay in the Ministry of Magic. In fact, I will only give you two some suggestions. It is up to you to decide whether to complete these tasks, and now I happen to have a task here that should be very suitable for you."
"Will you be alive so soon?" Ryan thought as he took the parchment document handed over by Duoji. It was an invitation with a golden cross drawn on it with two golden paints.
wands, each with a three-star emblem.
"The 700th Anniversary of Beauxbatons?" After Ryan unfolded the letter, Hermione read out the content in a low voice. "Representatives from Hogwarts are sincerely invited to attend? This invitation is from representatives of Hogwarts, and
What does the Ministry of Magic have to do with it?”
"Well, you can say this is an official celebration." Director Duoji said.
"Official celebration? What does that mean?" Hermione looked confused.
"That is to say, we can send representatives to use this celebration to talk about some things, and talk about some things that cannot be discussed in formal occasions." Dorje explained. "You know, out of fear of mysterious people. Nowadays, magic in various countries
The Ministry of Magic, especially the Ministry of Magic in Western Europe, can only acquiesce in the legitimacy of the Ministry of Magic in London, so we cannot send personnel to France in the name of the Ministry of Magic to contact there. In this case, we can only hope that you can
