Chapter 52: Minister Fudge, who is not very happy

Things about cable TV and the internet didn't go as smoothly as Daniel had imagined.

Although the current populace of the wizarding world is eagerly anticipating any new decision by Mr. Black Jr.; Despite Mr. Weasley's unwavering 'support' on the letter of the law.

However, Minister Fudge of the Ministry of Magic simply said 'no reply for the time being', and he said that there was no way to proceed with everything in a reasonable, legal and justifiable manner.

As an angry 'Internet addict boy', Daniel went to visit Minister Connery Fudge that day.

"You're a busy man, why do you have time to come and see me today?"

Fudge was sitting behind his desk as he was ushered into the office by the minister's assistant, flipping through a copy of Wizard's Weekly, and when he saw Daniel come in, he sat there and said this with a smirk.

The Wizarding Weekly book in his hand is very popular with witches, and it includes emotional counseling, psychometric tests (mostly for love), some Charms classes (mostly small spells for emotional problems), and some clever life magic and recipes.

In addition, one of the most popular columns for witches is: the list of the most charming male wizards in the wizarding world this week, and the most charming smile award in the wizarding world this week.

The issue of the weekly magazine in Fudge's hand, whether it is the list of the most charming wizards or the winner of the most charming smile award this week, happens to be the exotic wizard in front of him - Mr. Daniel Black.

By the way, on the list of the most glamorous wizards, Sirius is in second place this week.

"All the witches in the wizarding world are about to be dumped by you."

Fudge smiled and teased, but his affectionate tone couldn't hide the displeasure in his eyes, and the politeness that subconsciously became a little formulaic, "A big man like you, what do you need me to do for you when you come here to find me?" ”

Feeling the unwelcome atmosphere, Daniel subconsciously adjusted his posture when he came in before, and became much more serious.

He pretended not to notice Fudge's indifference, but laughed happily, "You're actually starting to laugh at me." What kind of big guy am I? It's just that some ladies with little experience can't help but make some innocuous comments when they see a man who looks good, and that's their right, isn't it? ”

Fudge smiled embarrassedly and put down the weekly magazine in his hand.

Daniel smiled and continued to flatter: "At this age, they are obsessed with appearance, where do they know how to appreciate those 'adult men who have been trained in life and no longer care about their appearance, are talented, and have integrity and nobility in their hearts'? For example, you, the minister, are powerful, wise and wise, and have both noble moral sentiments and lofty ambitions, which is the direction that my generation yearns for and strives for! ”

Minister Fudge was taken aback, he really did not expect that the other party would evaluate himself in such a beautiful way, as if he had put on his armor and was about to meet the enemy, but the enemy stuffed a piece of honey into his mouth. Moreover, the honey was so delicious that he couldn't bear to spit it out.

As a result, there were a few more gaps in the armor, and the originally tense expression involuntarily revealed a shallow smugness.

"Little Mr. Black, you're really good at talking." Fudge stood up and laughed.

Although the smile this time was still a little wary, it was a little better than just now, he stretched out his hand to greet the other party, and took out a bottle of white wine from the wine cabinet on the side, "This is given to me by a French wizard, sweet and sour is the most delicious, you have seen the world, come and taste it." ”

Daniel sat down on a chair at the table and looked at the wine in his glass with interest, "Your Excellency is really well-traveled. I haven't been to France yet, and it's said to be a beautiful place. ”

"Different countries have different customs, and some people may say that France is beautiful. But in my mind, only the UK is the most beautiful place in the world. Fudge smiled meaningfully.

Daniel raised his glass, still smiling politely: "It seems that I have to make a toast to our patriotic minister." ”

Fudge smiled and raised his glass to touch him.

He absentmindedly took a sip of the liquor in his glass, and then continued, "Forgive me for the taste, little Mr. Black, even if your father is our English wizard. But you are indeed a foreigner. ”

"I don't deny it." Daniel replied calmly.

"Wait, I'm not blaming or ostracizing you." "It's just that different countries will always have different laws to suit different national conditions within different countries." ”

"Of course." Daniel bowed, "It has to be reasonable for the people." ”

"So, this doesn't mean that what American wizards are accustomed to is a must for English wizards." Fudge finally stated his purpose, and he pretended to be friendly and magnanimous, and said, "Look, my friend. I'm really, very, very willing to help you, but I'm the Minister of Magic in the British wizarding world, and I have to think about the real needs of the people in the wizarding world. ”

"You see, I'm not talking nonsense. After you submitted this article, I still studied it carefully. As far as I know, most of the current television shows have to broadcast Muggle shows, as the wizarding world does not have its own television station...... That's the word, I'm not mistaken, right? Oh, okay, that's right. And you say that you will help install cable TV for free, but in fact, after the TV is installed, it is not very useful. If you need to really use and watch, you must charge a certain fee, which is not even a one-time expenditure, but an expenditure that must be paid every day, every week, and every month, which is actually a meaningless expenditure and a redundant burden for most wizards. ”

"So, I really can't approve your request."

"Let wizards pay to watch Muggle shows? My friend, it's not just a matter of your own wasted money, it's also a matter of the Wizarding Secrecy Act. ”

"As far as I know, the Wizarding Secrecy Act requires wizards not to be discovered by Muggles, but it does not require wizards not to observe the Muggle world." Daniel retorted.

"Yes, your application is from the edge of the law in all aspects."

"But sometimes, not breaking the law is just a prerequisite, and whether it can be implemented or not needs to be considered for various reasons." Dear Daniel, you are a big expert in business, but if you govern a country well, you have to listen to me. ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled kindly, but the smug look in his eyes was really more eye-catching.

"So, your decision is not to approve it?" Daniel asked.

Fudge spread his hands helplessly, "I can't find a reason to approve it." ”

"So, you're thinking about broadcasting Muggle shows, wizards' increased monthly spending, and worries about your 'friend' - my money for nothing, right?" Daniel continued to ask.

"Uh......" Fudge was a little surprised by the other party's aggressiveness at this moment, but he still tried to maintain a friendly smile on his face, "Daniel, you are still young. There's a lot of things that you don't think about in detail, and you do things with passion, which is good, really good. Young people do need a lot of momentum, but sometimes, we elders have to help you check that you don't overshoot. ”

"I see, Minister." Daniel stood up, smiled, and said, "Well, let's stop here today, and I will be full of respect and thank you for teaching me what I have to say today." ”

"It's over, it's over." Fudge smiled awkwardly, and then, presumably, he felt that his previous attitude was a little bad and easy to offend people, and instead sent Daniel out of the door with feigned enthusiasm.

However, as soon as Daniel walked out of the Ministry of Magic, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

He couldn't help but let out a breath of depression in his chest, stared unhappily in the direction of the Ministry of Magic's Fudge office, and scolded in a low voice: "Sonofbitch! ”

Then, he apparitioned directly to the gate of Malfoy Manor.

It may be Malfoy's Family Day.

Narcissa was sitting on a chair in the courtyard outside, dressed in a white comfortable home dress, seriously fiddling with her precious tea set.

Lucius flipped through the books, and from time to time he looked at Draco, who was flying at a low altitude of about one meter on a children's broomstick.

The house-elves of the Malfoy family were on standby, fearing that the little master would accidentally fall into it.

Aside from a brief glimpse of his time in the United States, this was the first time Daniel had seen this well-guarded child under Lucius's protection since returning to England.

It's no wonder that Lucius always hides the child and doesn't let him appear outside, this child is too beautiful.

In fact, each Malfoy is blessed with good looks.

However, the adult Malfoy can still rely on his momentum and magic to support the www.biquge.info barrier of the Pen Fun Pavilion, but the young Malfoy, although beautiful and cute like a little angel, has little ability to protect himself......

It's so beautiful, what if someone takes it away?

He was sitting on a toddler's broomstick giggling, with soft light blonde hair that glistened in the sun, and blue eyes, like the clearest waters in the middle of the Mediterranean.

He was well raised, his legs were very strong, and he flew low in the soft carpeted yard, and from time to time he flew to chase the peacocks, happy as a little bird, carefree.

Seriously, Daniel, who had been poisoned by Fudge for nearly an hour, instantly calmed down after seeing such a beautiful scene.

The Malfoy family of three, this completely warm and sweet family atmosphere hit the softest place in his heart at once.

He couldn't even control the corners of his lips, and his eyes were gently watching the scene in front of him.

When Narcissa looked up, she noticed the rare happy expression on her cousin's face.

She was slightly stunned, followed her gaze, and after noticing that the gaze was on her son, she suddenly laughed thoughtfully.

"Daniel, would you like to go over and hug Draco?" She smiled and said, "You are still the uncle of this child." ”

"No, no, let him play by himself, don't bother him!"

Daniel withdrew his gaze and replied to Narcissa with a smile on his face, "Look, how much fun he's having by himself!" ”

Lucius, who was holding a grudge, glanced over at this time and said coldly, "Where did you come from?" I thought you had that dear brother Sirius, and you weren't going to come to my door. ”

"Don't be so stingy, Lucius." Daniel was amused at once.

He said happily: "What Remus said that day is right, you are not suitable to be here in the first place, when it comes to the little savior of your wizarding world, do you want to be targeted by the Gryffindors?" ”

Lucius, who had long understood the reason, but was still a little indignant when he was unhappy about being ostracized, and he was silent.

However, Daniel's next sentence immediately coaxed him back: "...... Besides, if I get any news there, will I not tell you? ”

Lucius's face suddenly became satisfied.

"Okay." He said the matter could be skipped for the time being.

Then, he raised his head again and asked tentatively, "Did you come here so suddenly today to visit me and Sissi?" ”

"I just wanted to ask you if I've offended our great Minister of Magic, Fudge, lately."

Daniel said bluntly, a hint of disgust flashing in his blue eyes: "I just came out of the Ministry of Magic, and he sprayed me with a lot of venom in anger. ”
