Chapter Seventy-One: Minister Fudge is also very busy on weekends

Mr. Fudge, who is currently the Minister of Magic in the British wizarding world, accidentally slammed the cup on the bedside table to the ground when he got up early in the morning, and his mood was suddenly terrible.

His wife, a witch as ordinary as he was, wasn't very pretty, but she wasn't very ugly either, just ordinary.

She is a full-time housewife who lives her day around her husband and children, but she has always felt proud and proud to have a husband who is the Minister of Magic.

So, most of the time, she was willing to take care of Fudge and follow some of Fudge's orders.

At this time, she heard the sound of the cup breaking in the house, and hurried into the room, and then, after skillfully cleaning the broken glass pieces on the ground with her magic wand, she squeezed out a smile and asked him with a little complaint: "Early in the morning, what is wrong with you?" ”

Fudge didn't answer irritably, but asked angrily, "What are you doing?" My dear Mrs. Fudge, what's going on out there? Why do I seem to hear loud music? Don't you stop early in the morning? ”

"I'm watching TV, good sir." Mrs. Fudge replied cautiously.

But she obviously didn't know much about words, and she didn't notice her husband's gloomy face when he heard the word 'TV', and said happily: "I used to be bored at home alone, thanks to this TV set made by Mr. Blake Jr., I didn't think it was of much use at first, but recently there have been a lot of programs." Of course, I don't watch any Muggle TV ......."

Mrs. Fudge was well aware of her husband's contempt for Muggles, so she deliberately emphasized it when she said this. However, it didn't work, and Fudge's face became even more gloomy.

But she still didn't notice much, and continued to flatter: "However, this is our wizard's own TV station that has been newly opened recently, and many programs are still worth watching." For example, this aerobics in the morning, I have been doing it for many mornings. Dancing for a while every day, I feel like my body is really getting healthier. Connery, do you want to come with me? ”

"Are you kidding? You're a wizard! Connery Fudge was inexplicably on fire.

He yelled at his wife, "What's so nice about that boring thing? As a wizard, have you never seen the world? For Merlin's sake, be sober! My good lady, a little trick by a Muggle seduced you, how ignorant you are, eh? ”

Mrs. Fudge's face was confused, and it was evident that she didn't understand what was going on.

"Connery......" She tried to comfort the man with a soft voice, but was pushed aside by Fudge.

The short and fat wizard ran to the living room in a menacing manner, looked at the TV that was playing aerobics, and angrily threw a 'crush to pieces' spell.

The poor TV let out a roar and then exploded.

Mrs. Fudge covered her mouth with her hand in horror, and for a moment did not know what to say.

Then, Fudge washed up briefly, and just as Mrs. Fudge was at a loss, he strode out of the house.

"It's the weekend," ...... whispered from Mrs. Fudge.

But Fudge didn't come back at all.

The atmosphere at the Ministry of Magic was similarly unpleasant to Fudge.

People's hearts fluctuate, and many wizards look absent-minded.

The 'short-sighted' and 'steered' wizards were filled with anticipation and hope for the 'integration of wizards into Muggle society' by the demagogic little Mr. Black after just a few words.

How can there be such a cheap thing in this world?

A bunch of idiots who can't think!

Muggles are uneasy and kind!

That little Blake is clearly a spy! Undercover! Traitor!

Connery Fudge sneered heavily in his heart.

However, it turns out that even if he were a wizard, he could not, or rather not have the ability to manipulate people's minds, except with the Imperius Curse.

The staff of the Ministry of Magic would still be whispering something about little Mr. Black out of his sight.

Even if the wizards are not interested in the lace news, the attractive salaries, insurance, and holidays of the Black employees alone are enough for these people to care about and discuss for a whole day.

Moreover, compared to the smaller Mr. Blake is generous and meritocratous.

The Ministry of Magic, an ancient wizarding institution, is very strict in terms of seniority, and, although not obvious, it does exist in class and xenophobia, which has made most employees want to leave.

Especially those wizards who used to be Muggle-borns, for some kind of unspoken rule, they have been working in the Ministry of Magic for a lifetime, and they may still be able to work at the bottom.

Especially in recent years, the internal problems of the Ministry of Magic have become more and more serious, which can be seen from the fact that Lucius Malfoy donated a large sum of money to get away with it.

In addition, Mr. Little Black has also done some things that violate the rules of the law, and from here, it can also be seen that the legal system of the wizarding world is slowly beginning to collapse.

Most wizards may not be so wise and can't think of so many far-sighted things, but the atmosphere can't deceive.

When chaos begins to arise within a government, most people will find that things have become messy, and there are few people who do practical things, and most of them are lazy and do not do things, and there is a nervous feeling that 'the rain is coming'.

Rather than eating and waiting to die in such a lifeless, hopeless institution, it is better to go out and fight.

At the very least, Mr. Little Black's energetic appearance and attitude of working hard anytime and anywhere, even if he fails, it makes people feel that they have not lived in vain in their lives.

More and more wizards are starting to think so.

The snowflakes of resignation only made Fudge even angrier.

He believes that this is a threat from Daniel to him, just like the last Auror resignation. But this time, it is impossible for him to give in.

Because he knew what a price he had paid for the position of minister of the Ministry of Magic, and he was in vain and flattered in all kinds of ways. And by what kind of luck was it to be able to be elected.

Perhaps, he will never have such good luck for the second time in his life.

Therefore, he must firmly grasp the power of this minister, and must not fail, absolutely not fail.

He summoned his recently promoted confidant, the Deputy Minister of Magic, Lady Dolores Umbridge.

This is a short and fat lady, she is not too young, but she still prefers those girly pink clothes and bows, and when she speaks, she likes to use that kind of cute voice, which makes her look a little disgusting and contrived.

But Connery Fudge admired her.

Compared with the wife who does housework, faces the sky, and has no interest in life, he thinks that this is a smart woman who knows how to groom herself, is good at life, and can also provide corresponding help for her work.

Most importantly, of course, Ms. Umbridge is very good at flattering Minister Fudge.

This woman is equally ambitious for power, but she is also self-aware and does not dare to dream of the position of minister. So, she devoted all her energy to flattering the mediocre but show-off Minister Fudge in order to get promoted.

It was a success.

Among countless wizards, she is a witch with average grades, no performance, and no outstanding magic, and in just a few months, under the promotion of Fudge, she successfully climbed to the position of deputy minister of magic.

"Negotiations with the Muggle government are going to be on Monday." Fudge said in a wry tone, "Those shameless, filthy Muggles are just annoying. ”

"What are your plans, Minister?"

Umbridge said in a hypocritically sweet voice, "You know me, and your wisdom in this area is far from yours, but if it is useful to me, please do not be polite." I do everything I can. ”

"It's just negotiating with Muggles, so you don't need to be so cautious." Fudge waved his hand indifferently, "I didn't think the wizarding world had anything to do with Muggles. It's a pity that due to some ill-intentioned guys, the wizarding world was forced to be exposed, and there was no way. ”

He muttered unhappily, "There is no way, I have to negotiate." Merlin, why do I have to clean up the mess for these idiots, old Barty, and now this damn little Blake......"

"I've made a list of demands to be made of those Muggles, and I don't care what Muggle laws or morals are. Wizards are supposed to be higher than Muggles. "If the Muggle government hadn't given wizards the favor they deserved, I wouldn't have talked to them, and I would never have agreed to the stupid decision of integrating into Muggle society." ”

"You've thought it through." Umbridge uttered the harsh words in a delicate tone, "How can those ignorant fellows be as far-sighted as you, Minister." You're working for the future of the wizarding world, but they're going to pull you back. They should really be taught a lesson, and they will only know how much it hurts after being beaten......"

"Indeed." Fudge agreed, "Let them suffer a good loss, young people are arrogant, and they always don't know how high the sky is." ”

"I heard that little Mr. Black recently had a Muggle boyfriend." Umbridge continued to say in that very ugly voice, pretentiously, "This is disgusting, it is enough to find a man to be a partner, and he actually found a Muggle." It's really the scum of the wizarding world, a shame for pure-blood families. ”

"Their Blake family has always been like this, and they have been crazy for generations." Fudge waved his hand in disgust, a little disappointed that Umbridge had said for a long time, and it was actually a relationship problem.

He was not very interested in the subject, but he was committed to belittling his enemy in every way, Little Blake.

So, he still couldn't hold back, and made a mean comment or two: "Think of that crazy woman Bella in Azkaban, and then think of the rebellious and damned Sirius, and now it's not uncommon for a little Black who likes men." Moreover, anyway, the people of the Black family are dying, and there are no elders who can discipline him, and he himself is not ashamed to make it public, what else can we outsiders say? ”

After finishing speaking, he became impatient, lowered his head and pretended to be busy and began to tidy up the Wen Jiàn on the table, and said in a contemptuous exclamation tone: "You women! I always like to pay attention to these emotional gossip, lace news or something. I am very busy every day, how can I have time to devote so much attention to these boring scandals. ”

"But I think there's something special about what you'd get out of talking to Mr. Black's Muggle boyfriend." Umbridge smiled a hypocritically sweet smile and hinted insidiously, "The wizarding world is not a safe place for a weak Muggle. ”

Fudge stopped what he was doing.

He looked up in surprise and looked at Umbridge with an incredulous gaze, then stretched out his finger and gently touched her in the air, smiling, "Good girl, good idea." ”

Meanwhile, Mr. Daniel Blake Jr., who Fudge was thinking about, was taking his 'effeminate' Muggle boyfriend on a tour tour of a travel agency in Diagon Alley.

Travel agencies, that's right.

Little Mr. Black has come up with a new gadget.

No one expected the wizarding world and Muggles to come together overnight.

As we all know, it's going to be a long and slow process.

Ignore the wrangling between governments.

Daniel feels that the first task is to deepen the understanding between each other, just like he and Moriarty are in love, they always have to know each other to slowly deepen the relationship.

If you keep each other in a strange and unknown state, you can't get together at all, right?

He had read a lot of theoretical books lately, and Moriarty was slightly touched by his studious and serious work, and he wanted to hold his stomach and roll on the floor laughing.

And this incident directly leads to the sequelae of zhì, that is, when he does things as examples, he always acts like a senior love expert, and in addition to being serious, he will frequently use love cases as examples, which is quite useful for learning.

In fact, when he first compared Muggles and wizards to a romantic relationship, Mycroft asked very directly: Are you in love?

Considering the bad things Moriarty had done, Daniel hesitated for a moment and said no.

But Mycroft was completely unconvinced, and fortunately he didn't continue to ask.

In short, in order to get to know each other better, Daniel founded the 'Wizard-Muggle Joint Travel Agency'.

Then, on the weekend, he started a tour where both sides visited each other's worlds.

This side of the wizarding world must be in charge of himself.

The first tourist attraction is, of course, set up in Diagon Alley, which is becoming more and more open.

(Recently, he was in contact with the Hogsmeade village administrator in an attempt to add a second tourist attraction to the wizarding world, but unfortunately has not received a response so far.) ）

On the Muggle side, there are more places.

Daniel did not intervene in this regard, and completely entrusted it to McCroft Holmes, thinking that the shrewd gentleman would take this opportunity to give this group of 'arrogant' wizards a good lesson, and by the way, provide a good opportunity to increase their knowledge.

As it turned out, Mycroft did a good job (madness).

He sent his most trusted assistant lady as a tour guide, and directly pulled the curious group of wizards in the Muggle world to participate in a small military exercise of the Muggles.

Many of them did not participate in the battle of London, but only heard a little rumor, and at this time, the wizards who faced the Muggle armed forces for the first time developed from the initial "Muggles can have any powerful weapons hahahaha" to the state of "Muggles are terrible".

In addition to the tour guide, there are also special photographers in the two tour groups.

They were complete, real, high-definition and uncensored to shoot the whole process of the visit of the two tour groups.

And that night, it was solemnly broadcast on the TV station of each other's world.

That night, Muggles who visited the wizarding world could say that the general expression was: so magical, so interesting.

Available in the wizarding world.

After watching the video on the television, the wizards were in an uproar: "Is Muggle force so valuable?" It's a lie, right? ”

Compared to these wizards who are not calm, Minister Fudge's house is quiet and undisturbed.

Minister Fudge's calm demeanor deserves to be regarded as the top leader of the British wizarding world.

The TV set that he had smashed in the morning had probably been cleaned up.

Mrs. Fudge was careful not to speak, lest she might anger him again.

So Secretary Fudge went to bed early that night.

In his sleep, he still fantasized about what kind of arrogant display he should put on when he met the prime minister tomorrow, and how he would express his opinions with arrogance.

He kept telling himself, "I'm going to have to negotiate with the Muggles." I must tell them that wizards must be above Muggles in every way.
