Chapter 159: Arthur Weisley's Conversation with Kingsley Shackle

An Anglia with a license plate number of 7990 Ford was driving slowly on the streets of London, if it weren't for the remoteness of this street, then I'm afraid that such a crooked driving technique would have called the police. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Kingsley, why did you say why the Minister arranged for us to go and explain this to the Muggle Prime Minister, wouldn't it be better for him to go himself? We're just employees of the Ministry of Magic, aren't we?" said Mr. Arthur Weasley, as he struggled to drive his vintage car, to Kingsley Shackle, who was sitting in the passenger seat, facing the enemy.

"Arthur, keep an eye on the road, the sign in front of you should mean no turning, where the hell are we now?" Kingsley Shackle said, a little nervous. Truth be told, it was his first time riding on Muggle transport, and the Hogwarts School train wasn't actually your average steam locomotive, but a modified magically powered train. Kingsley Shackle, a muggle-like vehicle, was very cautious, fearing that he would not be able to get out of it.

"It's okay, I've got a Muggle driver's license, we're now legally driving cars, although I don't know much about the insurance, but it should be similar to us wizards driving broomsticks, as long as we pay more attention, we will definitely be able to reach the Muggle Ministry of Magic." Arthur was infected by Kingsley Shackle's nervousness, and his palms were sticky on the reverse plate except for some sweat.

"I don't know how Muggles do it, I see they can still listen to the radio while driving, there should be radio in this car, but I don't know how to press that button. I used to think that if I added music playback to my broomstick, then the latest broomstick would be a big seller. You know that now the economy is not working, and even orders for light wheels are starting to fall. Mr. Weasley saw a pedestrian in front of him, and he pulled the handbrake directly, and the car came to a stop with a screeching sound of friction. Kingsley Shackel breathed a clear sigh of relief.

"There's been a lot going on in this time, you know, Arthur, my ancestors are African, and some time ago, a cousin from my hometown wrote to me from Africa and told us that my hometown is now in complete chaos, not only in Somalia, Sudan, but also in several other traditional wizarding countries, and even some of the stronger wizarding countries, such as South Africa, are starting to have chaos. Dark wizards have flourished across the continent, with some evil wizards even coming to Africa from other parts of the world. They experimented with the African black mamba, using the hearts of lions and elephants, as well as the poisonous insects in the swamps, and used the materials used by these shamans to form new potions to attack ordinary wizards. My cousin is very worried about his family's safety and wants to immigrate to the UK. Kingsley Shacklele watched the Muggles walk across the street, and Arthur Weasley started the car again, and Arthur added a little magic to the spark plugs to make sure it didn't turn off after it started.

"Charlie has already told me what you said. You know, Charlie has been studying dragons in Africa for a long time. It was a very dangerous job, and if it weren't for the good pay, Charlie would have resigned and returned to China a long time ago. Charlie's biggest concern lately is that the dark wizards have started to focus their attention on dragons. A number of dragon farms in Africa have been attacked. Charlie's agency has asked the local Ministry of Magic for protection, do you think their Ministry of Magic will answer?" Arthur drove the car slowly through the street, merging into the traffic, it was the morning rush hour in London, Arthur just kept moving, and no one complained about his turtle-like speed.

"Their Ministry of Magic said that the ministry had long run out of manpower to protect the dragon farms, and let them protect themselves. What is this, every year those dragon farms have to pay a lot of taxes, but something happened, and the ministry actually left it alone. ”

"Charlie was going to invite us to travel to Africa this summer, but now that the security situation is so good, Jasmine and I don't want to go anywhere. In addition to Charlie and Bill, all the children in our family are still in school. Arthur noticed that one of the Muggle drivers in front of him seemed to be impatient, honking his horn loudly, and further ahead, it appeared that a high-powered SUV was blocking the road.

Kingsley Shackle shook his head and said, "Arthur, your family is a famous family, I am curious, as a pure-blood family, will your children marry pure-blood people in the future?"

Arthur glanced at Kingsley Shackle, and asked curiously, "Who told you that I came from a pure-blood family, I don't think so, I have a cousin who married a Muggle from the Americas." As for our children, if they like Muggles, let them marry Muggles, and if they like wizards, let them marry wizards. Jasmine and I have always been very tolerant of them. ”

"Well, I thought the pure-bloods were old and stubborn, and as far as I knew, the Malfoys forbade their offspring to marry Muggles, and of course, the Blacks, you know, some very prominent families. ”

Arthur nodded, and then he suddenly remembered something, "Kingsley, did you say that the Muggle Prime Minister we are going to meet this time understands the innocence of wizards? You know, most people would think that wizards are those witches who live in the jungle, stirring cauldrons, and holding poisonous apples and toads in their hands. Actually, that was hundreds of years ago. Maybe we'll have to figure out a good way for the Muggle Prime Minister to understand who we are. ”

"Didn't Lee already make an appointment for us? his family is a Muggle nobleman, and I've heard that Lee has direct access to the Muggle Prime Minister, and he has a good personal relationship with her. This should be a lot smoother for us this time. Kingsley Shackle said.

"Well, you're right, Lee is a very capable person, and I heard that there are some people who are now supporting Lee as a future candidate for prime minister. Arthur said, the traffic jam was terrible, and at such a speed, it was enough for an Auror like Kingsley Shackle to release a spell to prevent any emergencies, so although Kingsley Shackle's hand was still holding on to the car door, he had relaxed a lot at this time.

"Dolores Jane Umbridge, Rufus Scrimgeur, and Barty Crouch, these are all likely to be the next prime ministers. As for Lee, I think it will be difficult for him to gain the support of the Wizengamot Wizarding Order, the Lee family is not a traditional wizarding family after all, and their influence among the Wizengamot wizards is too small. Kingsley Shackle said.

"Dumbledore will support Lee, and Lee and Dumbledore have a good relationship. You know—" Weasley couldn't help but look around, the Muggles were all bored looking ahead, the blue sky and white clouds, and the traffic around them, and no one noticed that the two wizards were sitting in a Muggle car. "You know, the Order of the Phoenix has been feared by many traditional forces since the last war. Although few wizards at Dumbledore's age became Minister for Magic, after the reopening of the Order of the Phoenix, it was not hopeless for Dumbledore to fully support Lee. After all, Lee's advantage is also obvious. ”

Kingsley Shackler shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and continued, "Who knows, as is the case now, who would have thought that Azkaban would be captured, who would have known that the Dark Lord would resurrect the corpse, who knew that the Death Eaters would suddenly be active all over the world, who knows what those dark wizards were thinking. I'm also starting to get lost now, and I don't know what to do. ”

Kingsley Shackle's words made Arthur stunned, the rugged-looking Kingsley Shackle didn't expect such deep thinking, Arthur thought for a while before saying: "If only we wizards had our own country, I mean a world full of wizards, then we can directly establish our own order without worrying about the ideas of these Muggles." In this way, after a short period of chaos, we will eventually move towards order. ”

"But there is no such place. Even plans to establish a secret wizard village in Antarctica were canceled due to the high cost. Now I've heard that Muggles have invented something called a satellite that can see matchboxes on the ground from a height of 10,000 meters. If a wizard were flying through the clouds on a broomstick, it would be hard to imagine Muggle moons not seeing. Kingsley Shackle looked out the window of the car at the advertisement, which scrolled automatically into a handsome man holding a strange instrument with the slogan underneath: Time, Interconnection, Future.

"Wizards have lost the motivation and wildness to keep going. They had been separated from Muggles for too long, their contempt for trouble, their blind arrogance had made us look stupid, but it was not too late, and with our efforts, wizards were still in an advantageous position. "Arthur was an outlier in the Ministry of Magic, advocating not only the protection of Muggles, but also the efforts to break down the direct barriers between the two sides and achieve a direct and true fusion of the two, in which he was even more radical than Dumbledore. Such a proposition, in the eyes of the Wizengamot wizards, can be regarded as the most radical political opinion.

Kingsley Shackel shrugged his shoulders noncommittally again. Many wizards don't think Muggles should be treated fairly, because they don't know magic!

Magic is the god of magic, the best gift from the Creator to wizards, those Muggles who can't magic, seem to have a certain mark in themselves, they themselves are like half-finished products that lack something, only wizards are complete. At this point, many wizards are reluctant to think that Muggles deserve to be treated fairly.

The two sides do not seem to be congenitally the same race, and even such a difference is like modern humans looking at primitive humans.

After turning a corner, you will soon be in the Muggle Prime Minister's office. Kingsley Shacklele took out the parchment and began to check his and Arthur's preparations against the items on the parchment. The paper is said to have been simplified according to the rules of the previous official Ministry of Magic for Muggle contact. Such rules ensure that wizards' secrets are not easily discovered.

――――――――

Twinkle is very happy today, young master, little Barty seems to have recovered a little, he can communicate with Twinkle normally, and he will not start howling like a beast at every turn.

Twilight is a hard-working house-elf who is very sympathetic to the current little Barty. Mrs. Crouch traded her life for the rebirth of her son, and Twinkle hoped that little Barty would be happier.

While fiddling with flowers and plants at home and doing housework, Sparkle and little Barty talked a lot. Twilight rarely goes out, so he doesn't know much about what's going on outside, but Twinkle learns about the existence of the Kirin Wizard through his own interactions with his own kind.

A wizard who seems to be the existence of an entire elf idol. Twilight doesn't read much of the Daily Prophet, but she takes the time to attend regular elf housework experience sharing sessions. In the last few experience sharing sessions, Twilight has learned a few good spells for pruning flowers and plants, and has occasionally heard about the Kirin Wizard.

Twilight told Barty Jr. some rumors about the Kirin Wizard as an anecdote. Twinkle didn't know that at this time, little Barty had been freed from the control of the Imperius curse due to the terrible impact of the London Fire Lake, and little Barty, who had regained his magic little by little, was not in a hurry to escape, he was now desperate to determine the truth of a terrible thing.

It's a pity that Sparkle has been exposed to too little news. In addition to the daily chores, Sparkle's favorite thing is to tell little Barty, the language of flowers, how to take care of those lilacs and spider plants, how to distinguish daffodils from lilies, and how to make roses bloom in different colors. Barty Jr. wasn't interested in any of this, the Imperius Curse hadn't made him completely lose his perception of the outside world, he had understood what was going on by this time.

His mother, for him, died at the hands of the Dementors.

Just as the Dark Lord was initially disappointed and angry at the stupidity of his men, Barty Jr. began to wonder if the Dark Lord was really as powerful as he imagined, if he was as great as he imagined, if he could change the whole of Britain and lead wizards to ultimate glory.

Whenever he thought of his poor mother dying in the shadow of Azkaban for himself, little Barty almost couldn't help but want to sob, not only did he hate his father, but old Barty was cold-blooded, and he also began to feel disappointed in his master, the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord gave up on his men, and now, Barty Jr. is beginning to understand that the cause of his mother's tragedy is none other than himself.

So when Twilight told himself in a storytelling tone that the Kirin Wizard could kill the Dementors, Barty Jr. was completely shocked. The Dementors are one of the Dark Lord's most terrifying men, and this evil creature has left the deepest image of fear on all wizards, and for wizards like Barty Jr., who have come into close contact with them, the Dementors are the most terrifying nightmares in their hearts.

Wizards have never been heard of being able to kill Dementors, and the Patronus Charm, while able to dispel Dementors, cannot kill these Grim Reaper manifestations.

Of course, little Barty didn't know that Xie An, that is, the Qilin wizard, had actually completely stripped off the shell of the dementor and could directly access the core secrets of the dementor, but even such a thing had already shocked little Barty.

He tried to ask Twilight more about the Kirin, and Sparkle's words shocked Barty even more: he was still a student at Hogwarts School, he had many secret spells, he had gained the respect of the whole elf, he had fought the basilisk head-on...

Although Twinkle's words are scattered and uncertain hearsay, any one of these things happening to a Hogwarts school student is enough to surprise and alert Barty Jr.

Little Barty decided to meet the amazing little wizard himself, he had now regained most of his magic, and the dream-like feeling was slowly starting to dissipate. As long as he has the opportunity, he can leave this worry-free house.

Barty Jr. decides to be the first to meet the Kirin Wizard.

Of course, Twinkle didn't know Little Barty's plans, she introduced everything about the Kirin Wizard in detail according to the young master's request, and promised to inquire more about it the next time she attended the elf's party.
