Chapter 1: Summer Vacation in France (1) (1/12 for the Twin Friends of the Book Friends)
In the summer of 1995, Provence was still crowded with tourists. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lavender and wine are all reasons that attract people to come. However, this does not prevent the free-spirited French from discovering beauty with their eyes while taking a vacation.
This time, for example, when Holly briefly rested in the village of Little Hangleton, he went straight to France.
As he had done two years earlier, Holly had left England via Muggle. However, compared to two years ago, Heli, whose strength has increased again, is still much stronger than before in terms of magic control, at least there will be no weakness after getting off the plane. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that there are too many trips, after all, it doesn't take much time to get from London to Paris.
When the plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Holly's days in France began...... But this time, someone will be in charge of the reception from start to finish.
Fleur Delacour rarely appears in the Muggle world, partly because of the natural opposition between the wizarding world and the Muggle world itself, Muggles are always resistant to the unknown, while wizards are superior to others and are not willing to communicate with Muggles too equally.
On the other hand, it's purely Fleur's own reasons...... Meiwa's bloodline, coupled with her already very iconic face and outstanding figure, she will be the focus no matter where she goes. It's just that...... In the wizarding world, the Delacour family was able to shield Fleur from being harassed, and at school, Lady Maxim's preference also allowed Fleur to avoid many traps at school. But even so, Fleur is not so fond of appearing in public.
The so-called attracting bees and butterflies cannot be regarded as a wrong description for Furong. At least, when Fleur appeared at the exit of Charles de Gaulle Airport, she had a long tail trailing behind her.
As long as no one came up to talk or harass, Fleur was not prepared to take any measures, but only suffered from the security personnel at the airport...... Ever since they learned that there was such a large flow of people moving in a directional direction, their hearts have been in the throat and eyes.
The airport is a place with a large flow of people, and it is also a place that is easy to be attacked, and because the people who come and go are not in the same direction, once something goes wrong, it is easy to cause great panic.
However, this time, the flow of people only maintained a directional movement, but did not move quickly or anything, and did not allow the airport to initiate a high-level emergency response.
A large number of security personnel are still needed, only in France...... Summer is the time when everyone has to go on vacation, and it is not easy to get enough people to go to work every day......
Fleur realized the situation behind her very early, but in the Muggle world, in line with the principle of trying not to cause trouble if she can, Fleur let herself ignore the crowd behind her as much as possible, and focused her attention on the person she was going to receive next.
The original plan was not for Fleur to receive Holly, at least, Holly's original idea was to go directly to his estate in Provence through the means of transportation in the magical world.
It was only after thinking about it again that Holly overturned his previous idea.
In the Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge began a large-scale campaign to eliminate dissidents after Holly and Erinka let him go for a while, of course, at the instigation of Lucius Malfoy.
Fudge, who was used as a gun by Lucius Malfoy, did not realize that his every move was to help the Dark Lord strengthen his power as much as possible, and at the same time disrupt the normal order of the Ministry of Magic.
However, at least after discovering that Rita Skeeter had not recently published any articles in the Daily Prophet that made the Ministry of Magic feel embarrassed, Fudge consciously took the credit for it, claiming that it was a reform of the Ministry of Magic, catering to the ideas of the vast majority of people, and making everyone less and less dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic......
Of course, even in this case, Cornelius Fudge did not instigate his men to attack the policies that had been designated by Holly and Erinka when they were in charge of the Ministry of Magic, but how many were still being implemented was probably only Fudge himself......
Of course, in addition to doing a lot of things as Lucius Malfoy suggested, Cornelius Fudge also had some results. At the very least, he managed to split Percy Weasley from the Weasleys. The youngest assistant director of the Ministry of Magic, who has always been very enthusiastic about his career, is also looking forward to a bigger stage after helping Barty Crouch deal with specific affairs for nearly a year......
At least, after not hearing from Barty Crouch Sr. for a long time, Fudge tacitly assumed that his former rival had retired from the Ministry of Magic, and at the same time, began to co-opt his subordinates. Percy is only the first, but it's easy to say that the first one took the lead, at least, the people behind don't have that much psychological burden on falling to Fudge, right?
Holly's decision to use the Muggle mode of transportation was influenced by Fudge's actions at the Ministry of Magic.
In the past, the Ministry of Magic, which was under its control, wanted to use magical means to conduct some cross-border traffic, and it should be said that there was no problem......
It's just that this time, I was going to say hello to the Department of International Magic Cooperation and say hello to the management department of Floo.com, but Holly found that these departments seemed to have changed a lot......
The network of relationships in these departments seems to have changed. Many of the low-level staff members they never knew or had little contact with jumped to the top, while those stalwarts in the Ministry of Magic were marginalized one by one...... Although his own forces will not be purged from the Ministry of Magic, but in the case of asking everyone to lie dormant as much as possible and not to go against Fudge's new policy, Holly is not willing to expose his manpower and network to everyone too early.
As a result, Muggle transportation became the best choice for Holly.
Of course, the broomstick is not within the monitoring range of the Ministry of Magic, but riding a broomstick and flying in the sky for such a long time, unless it is a Quidditch match, Holly is still extremely resistant to this kind of flight...... Not to mention the fact that you have to hold a broom with one hand during the flight, which makes you much less resilient, and there are a lot of Muggles, ships and planes, and all kinds of electromagnetic waves on the way from England to France, and it is easy to expose yourself to Muggles if you are not careful—if this is the case, it is difficult to avoid Cornelius Fudge or Lucius Malfoy not taking the opportunity to do something.
