Chapter 116: Castle in the Sky (continued)

Phoenix hadn't recovered yet, and he was having a hard time keeping his balance—Hermione had been holding him all the time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info it took them a long time to get to the bottom.

There was a row of metal railings in front of them, blocking everyone. Next to it stood a big sign: In view of the current international situation, all merchants must register!

Next to each exit is a table, and under a sign that says "Security Check", wizards from the International Confederation of Wizards are registering everyone who comes.

When they approached, he didn't lift his head.

"Show me a wand, a charm, or whatever else you use to cast spells. Cast spells without a wand to register under the blue sign. He stared at the newspaper in his hand, "Explain your intentions, whether you have relatives or friends living in the city." If not, leave an emergency contact. ”

"The chief magician of the Wizengamot in Switzerland, with business. Hermione saw that at some point, Phoenix was wearing a delicate silver ring with a 'W' engraved on it.

The wizard immediately put down the newspaper and looked at the ring and Phoenix's face, as if surprised. He fumbled under the table and pulled out a pair of international announcements.

"At midnight on March 20th, Phoenix Balde Cadmus Peverell was elected Chief Magician of Wizengamot, Switzerland, and hereby informs the International Federation of Wizards!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I have great admiration for you, I have always admired your deeds. I can see you-" The sycophants are like a tidal wave.

"Alright, alright. If you don't mind, I'll take my friends with me. Phoenix said impatiently, but couldn't pull his hand. As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

"Of course," he waved his hand at once, and the metal railing melted instantly, and there was a glimmer of light from the sapphire ring on his hand, "please, please." Do you need me to inform the officer?"

He smiled and politely declined.

"When did you become the chief of the Wizengamot?" Hermione asked in surprise, her eyes a little fierce, and she might have guessed the answer.

"Automatically taking over, I'm an adult. Phoenix grimaced.

"I thought the Swiss Ministry of Magic would be better. She said helplessly, "I ask you, isn't there a magical institution that can be a little more impartial?"

"Huh?" Phoenix pretended to be serious, "No." It's fair, I'm democratically elected. It has the nature of bottom-up, fair voting, and national jubilation. ”

"The electors aren't all your family. ”

"That can't be helped, who makes us populous. Phoenix said.

Wizards act as a family unit, especially in politics, and it is rare for a family to choose two diametrically opposed political groups. After the rise from Wendou to Wudou, the number of family members is very important. If there are a lot of people, maybe a few will be able to escape if they are defeated, so as not to let the family name go extinct.

Therefore, the age of marriage for wizards is very low, usually at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they get married and have children. The age of marriage is now raised to adulthood for a variety of reasons, but this is not the case in all regions, many of which keep young marriages under the pretext of 'maintaining consistency with Muggle law'.

Every year, the Magical Congress of the United States proposes a new law to raise the legal age of marriage to 17 years - preferably 20.

The age of marriage allowed by most European and American laws (Muggles and wizards alike) is between 12 and 16 years old. It was an ancient law that wizards and Muggles alike, and there was no need to change it without any negative effects. This is the standard 'answer' to the refusal to amend the provision every year.

As for why Muggles were in a hurry to get married, they were not clear.

Every year there is a fight in Congress about this, and it is said to be fun. One side accuses the supporters of the current legal provisions as pedophiles and scum. Other European Ministries of Magic will follow suit. However, most of them are not enough, and the provisions of the law are only suggestions, not mandatory. So even if you change it, it's actually useless.

However, big wizard families like Phoenix generally follow the rule that one party can only get married when they are 20 years old, and the other party is not limited. In other words, regardless of witches and witches, they can get married as long as they are 20 years old, and it doesn't matter how old the other party is.

This rule is taken into account. The danger of the wizarding world, after forming a family, there must be one person in the family who can stand up to protect the family.

Phoenix chats with Hermione about the age of marriage in the wizarding world - in fact, he changes the subject. Harry walked alone, aimlessly looking at the shops lining the streets.

They walked along the straight avenue for half an hour to the street where a huge conical building was located. The top of this building is directly connected to the International Confederation of Wizards in the sky, and there are three such buildings, but they are all different in shape.

Harry was quick to realize that there must be a Peverell property here. Because not only are there a lot fewer people on the street, but there are more or less patrols around. They all hold a silver shield in the shape of a kite-shaped silver shield in the shape of an inverted triangle that resembles an ice cream roll. The carved patterns vary from one to the other, but they are all based on the Peverell coat of arms, and a beautiful pattern or pattern is added to it.

When Phoenix beckoned them in, the two guards were depicted in a labyrinth with a Peverell coat of arms in the center.

"Young Master, I really didn't expect you to come to see me. "A middle-aged man should have been waiting for a long time, and he would greet him as soon as he entered the door.

"Plans can't keep up with the change," Phoenix shrugged, "Orion is mine—mine?"

"I'm Phoenix's nephew and uncle, depending on whether you're on the paternal or maternal lines. Orion was dressed in a modest gown and looked personable in her gestures, "Harry Potter, the famous man - of course, Miss Granger wants you." I happen to have a dinner party to attend, are you interested?"

"Don't you see I'm not feeling well?" said Phoenix, wistfully, "we need to rest." ”

"From what I know of you, you're not going to be in your room. Just like last time, you sneaked out, killed two people, and burned down a teahouse. "Orion is ruthless in exposing his old roots.

Hermione and Harry looked at Phoenix in shock.

"Just one, the other is not what I killed. ”

He explained.

"My father brought me on business. I've slipped out and run into the traffickers myself," Phoenix said, looking innocent, "you don't know, he's going to sell me to the red-light district, and if I have a wand, I'll make him regret being born." ”

He tilted his head and said regretfully, "The wandless spell is not very accurate, I was going to recite a Transfiguration Charm, but somehow it turned out - anyway, the man's body was separated." Another person recited the mantra to me. The result hit the daughter of an onlooker - in fact, she was surrounded by her relatives, and the family was traveling. Count him unlucky. About seven or eight people, who almost turned him into a monster, and finally couldn't turn back to feed the fire dragon. ”

"Anyway, you're a little famous in Wanbang City. Orion smiled gracefully, "There's a new shop on the corner where you can watch the world's major Quidditch leagues live - with a Floo Hat." ”
