69. Chapter 68
Chapter 68: Am I such a powerful person?
"Is Fudge still adamantly opposed?"
Daniel sat lazily on the big couch at Malfoy's house, eating a small dessert made by Narcissa, and asked nonchalantly.
(Draco sat by and watched over him, and whenever Daniel ate his favorite dessert, the chubby little kid would look distressed and remind him that if he ate less, his teeth would be bitten by bugs.) οΌ
"How could he not object?" Lucius asked rhetorically.
He replied calmly as he flipped through the newspapers that had become more and more varied lately, "To put it bluntly, the integration of the wizarding world into Muggle society has not changed much in terms of our money and power. And even as you said, I can try to pursue something higher, like get into the high-level power center of the British government or something. But for Fudge, the gap is too great. One country will certainly not allow two regimes to emerge, think about it, what will the British government do to him, the 'leader' of the wizarding world? I would find it strange if we didn't do anything to limit the crackdown. β
"Although I understand this truth, I also understand the anxiety of our minister." Daniel threw a small cake into his mouth and said bitterly, "But Minister Fudge's behavior has really annoyed me lately, like a bunch of flies buzzing around me." β
"He mistakenly focused all his fire on me, condemning me all day long, as if he could solve this matter as long as he disposed of me."
"Who told you to do things too highly." Lucius Malfoy gloated, "I advised you a long time ago, don't be too public, don't be too public. β
"But the current situation of the Blake family at that time, how can I develop slowly."
Daniel grumbled, a rare hint of sarcasm in his always smiling blue eyes, "If I hadn't been a little more high-profile, the Black family would have been torn apart." β
Lucius didn't say anything, in fact, if he had the chance, he would have intervened.
But there are some things that everyone knows and doesn't need to say.
He turned his head and glared back at Draco's little hand that was about to be taken for dessert with a pretended sternness, "You've eaten enough, Draco, go play with your little broom for a while." β
Then, he turned his head again, changed the subject, and asked, "What are you going to do next?" β
"What else can I do?"
As soon as Draco left, Daniel, who felt that no one was watching and that it was no longer interesting to eat desserts, once again stuffed himself into the soft sofa, and replied with his hands in a very lazy attitude: "I am neither a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, nor a big man who can decide the life and death of the wizarding world. I'm just an ordinary commoner, what else can I do? Of course, it was to watch the excitement. β
Indeed it is.
When the British government is constantly meeting to discuss how to deal with the wizarding world, the wizarding world in Britain is also lively every day, and all kinds of news are constant.
In addition to the news, a lot of gossip news is also emerging.
For example: Fudge was angry with a strange illness and had to secretly go to St. Mungo's to see a doctor;
Sevic, the director of the Department of Magical Legal Affairs, was assassinated and violently beaten by the Dark Wizard today, and this is the fourth time this week that he has been attacked at the mouth of the Magic Department.
(There are already many wizards who have begun to question his force value, thinking that as an Auror who protects wizards, if he can't even protect himself, who else can he protect?) οΌ
At the same time, it is not uncommon for the news of Black's old home, No. 12 Grimmauld Place, to be surrounded by witches early in the morning, and infatuated witches are waiting for little Mr. Black.
A series of gossip has enriched the entertainment life of wizards recently.
Most wizards don't realize what kind of difference the 'integration into Muggles' will bring to their lives.
Although this group of wizards has some abilities that are different from ordinary people, they are actually no different from ordinary people in terms of daily life.
Three meals a day; It also requires hard work to earn money to fill the family; It will also worry about feelings and work......
As for the issue of magic, apart from the wizards of the Auror profession, there are very few wizards who specialize in learning any large-scale lethality magic.
(Think of Hogwarts' grueling Defence Against the Dark Arts class to get an idea of what most wizards are up to.) οΌ
So, in a street talk show produced by ZuΓ², the wizard's only television station (part of the Black Entertainment Group), most of the wizards' answers really surprised many people:
"Muggles?" A Diagon Alley wizard shopkeeper who was stopped replied blankly, "Has there been any change in integrating into Muggles?" Belch...... Didn't you? Then I don't have a problem with that. β
"Muggles?" A young wizard who was apparently from Gryffindor replied with great interest: "I think it's good, but it's better to have some laws in place to prevent wizards from harming Muggles." Besides, I'm willing to protect the weak Muggles. β
"Didn't Muggles already appear in Diagon Alley?" Another wizard who was asked said impatiently, "That suit shop over there, the women's clothing store next door, didn't Muggles appear in the wizarding world a long time ago?" What is there to discuss. β
"I don't really have a problem with integrating into Muggle society."
A witch said enthusiastically: "I hope that little Mr. Black can add more TV programs, my family TV can only accept three channels at present, and one station is for news...... By the way, can I take the opportunity to confess to little Mr. Black? β
Then, right in front of the camera, she pulled out the supplement to Wizarding Weekly, opened it to the big 'four-legged' photo, held it up above her head and waved it back and forth, and she shouted, "Daniel, you're so cute!" Dump your boyfriend, choose me. I can also satisfy you, I can buy a dozen transversion/sex potions......"
"Please delete all of this."
When he saw this video, Daniel Black ordered very neatly: "By the way, buy that rotten magazine from that witch and give it to me...... No, just burn it, don't give it to me. β
At this moment, he missed the time when he first came to England, when the wizards in the wizarding world were as pure and lovely as little lambs.
Now, all of them have been taken away inexplicably.
In fact, before the Battle of London, Mr. Blake's key words were 'noble, kind-hearted, bold, handsome, eager to be picked up by him, kissed (crossed out)', proposed;
After the Battle of London, Daniel thought his key words would become 'bravery, integrity, majesty, wisdom, calmness, and changeability'.
Unfortunately, the Wizards' Weekly supplement succeeded in shattering his illusions, and his key words became 'kind, lovely, gentle, eager to hug and kiss (cross out), and ask for marriage.' β
Although, from start to finish, he was just as popular.
But it's two natures entirely!
Moreover, Daniel's response to this welcome was completely outright rejection and anger.
His countless painful confessions: 'Once...... The soft and cute girl asked me to fall in love, but I was reserved and didn't accept it, and I was arrogant and picky...... But now, TMD is full of soft and cute girls who have drunk the sex change potion and come to me to fall in love, no appointment! No appointment...... This TM is completely different! β
In order to change this terrible status quo in the wizarding world.
Daniel made a resolute decision: to release Sirius with various peripherals.
(Sirius: What does TMD have to do with me?) οΌ
As a result, the wizards who often go to the Leaky Cauldron to drink have a new fun.
"Your two bottles of sherry. By the way, just add one more bronze nut and you can lead the canine hero Sirius'. The owner of the Leaky Cauldron casually recommended, "It's fun to write." β
"What's that?" Usually guests ask more.
"A novel about Sirius." The owner of the Leaky Cauldron replied.
Under normal circumstances, even a wizard who is short of money will not skimp on a bronze nat, but what exactly is 'Hero Sirius'?
-- Wall Buga Black wept and said: You go, you go, you go and don't come back!
- James Porter said: Cialis, you are my favorite brother in this life, but we cannot be together......
What a mess is this......
But why can't I stop watchingββ hahaha.
Do you think that's the end of it?
Daniel Black also prepared 'Sirius Bodyweight Pillow', 'Sirius Soldier Series', 'Sirius Comic Book Collection'......
How did Black's style of painting become so strange?
Little Mr. Black, you do this, does your dad know? Do your aunts and uncles know? Does your brother-in-law know? Does your brother know?
They all know.
Ignore the portraits of the Black House that have no human rights.
Lucius looked at Sirius, the 'new generation of wizarding idols, Sirius' almost in awe.
He asked with an unusually complicated expression: "Siris, how can you?" How could you put up with him doing such things? β
Sirius smiled wryly at this.
What else can he do in the face of a younger brother who shouts affectionately to his brother every night and pretends to cry to you, 'The poor family is about to go bankrupt, I don't ask you to make money, I just ask you not to make trouble'?
But that's actually good.
Because, lately, he has often thought of another brother with a very different personality - Regulus, who is so introverted and quiet that he is always ignored by himself.
He sometimes couldn't help but think: 'If Rael could have been coquettish and crying at me like this, could he still leave the Black house without caring for anything?' If he couldn't bear it and stayed, wouldn't Regulus be trapped in the Death Eaters, wouldn't he have disappeared and died, and wouldn't things have turned out to be different? β
However, no matter how much I think about it, there is no turning back.
Narcissa's acceptance of Daniel's is quite high.
Recently, she has been very open-minded, and she has a posture of 'just Daniel's toss' eldest sister.
Especially, when I see those nonsense Sirius pamphlets, and think back to the mischievous and rebellious Sirius Black who wanted to be beaten to death.
She subconsciously still has a little bit of a feeling of 'relieving hatred', so she can't help but sigh: The wicked have their own evildoers.
Immediately afterwards, Diagon Alley once again ushered in a lively scene.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal, it's just that Tony Stark, who was 'moved' (couldn't stand it) (purchased on behalf of) Starkphone sold so well in the wizarding world, finally decided to sign a cooperation contract with Daniel, and also opened an electronics store in Diagon Alley.
By the way, he was not very interested in studying magic.
He had always felt that such incomprehensible beings as Thor and the English wizard were completely designed to strengthen his knowledge of physics, biology and chemistry.
Although it is only a small electronics store, in the style of Tony Stark, it still wants to be built like the Kremlin.
As a result, the Muggle construction team quickly moved into Diagon Alley and began the busy construction process.
(Daniel made a point of requesting: no house taller than the Black Tower.) οΌ
Although, in order to ensure that these electronic products are not disturbed by the magic of the wizarding world and function normally, it will take a stage of real yΓ n and development time.
But we can already imagine that when these large numbers of electronic products are carved by magic inside, ignoring the interference of the magic of the wizarding world, it will once again bring earth-shaking changes to the wizarding world.
Fudge simply couldn't stop that.
Just like humans can't stop the development of technology.
The Minister of the Ministry of Magic has been shouting on various occasions: Don't fall for the conspiracy of the Black family! Wizards are not in league with Muggles.
But in fact, the fusion of wizards and Muggles is already unstoppable.
Wizards can no longer hide as much as they used to.
Because no wizard has the magic to 'forget' all the citizens of London, and the people of the world who have already watched the live footage of the Battle of London.
Moreover, Diagon Alley, a small alley that once served as the entrance to the wizarding and Muggle worlds, has been slowly transformed into a modern, Muggle and wizarding street with a mix of Muggles and wizards day by day, day by day, before everyone knows it, after being foolishly handed over to Daniel by the Ministry of Magic.
Although in a short period of time, most of the Muggles who settled in were equipped with special skills, such as the Kingsman group.
But over time, we can imagine that in the future, Muggles and wizards will not be less common, but will only increase, and will gradually become more common.
Daniel's Wizarding Charity, with the support and operation of Mycroft, has once again introduced a welfare policy: a sum of money has been allocated as a scholarship to support wizards of the right age to study in the Muggle world.
As one of the first wizards to enter Muggle society, Danny generously offered a quota of twenty.
In this regard, many open universities in the UK have generously opened their doors, saying that they are eager to accept some wizard students, and the professors in the school are also willing to have some knowledge exchanges with wizards.
There are also some pharmaceutical groups who have seen the effects of the anesthetic in Daniel's hands during the Battle of London, and have taken the initiative to sign a contract with the British Magic Pharmaceutical Company to purchase some potions for research and use.
When Daniel revealed that there was a Potions Master in England, Snape, a Potions professor who was previously unknown at Hogwarts, once again became a prominent figure in Britain.
Powerful reporters even shrewdly found the Potions Professor's Twitter.
Then, the professor's inbox was full again.
However, it is not known when the professor, who is concentrating on brewing potions and is not very addicted to the Internet, will find out about this.
Ignoring these good developments, the recent changes in Tumbledown Alley are also a bit confusing.
The dark wizards, who always like to dress up in strange shapes and scare people out of their way as soon as they enter the alley, have recently become much more neatly dressed and even started smiling at the pedestrians in Diagon Alley, and the effect is really ...... Thriller.
"Little Mr. Black, if you have time, you should really talk to the Ministry of Magic."
At present, the company's profitability is very good, and Mrs. Weasley, who already looks like a strong woman, said indignantly: "Tumbledown Alley is getting weirder and stranger now." Yesterday another dark wizard came out and smiled at us, and Ron almost cried from fright......"
For a mother, no crime, no dark wizard, in fact, is more sufficient than the latter sentence 'Ron was scared to cry'.
"I'm not naΓ―ve and don't know anything, and I don't expect all wizards in the wizarding world to become a good gentleman who is as upright and brave as you. However, it's really time for Tumbledown Alley to get in order. β
Mrs. Weasley frowned and said seriously, "I used to sell some smuggled contraband, and I just had to do some private transactions. But now they dare to walk out of Tumbledown Alley. That's not going to work...... That's not going to work, they're all dark wizards...... There are so many pedestrians in Diagon Alley, and the occasional Muggle, what if something happens? β
"Thank you for your concern." Daniel thanked the warm-hearted lady, "I'll go and find out how to solve the situation." But you know, ...... over Downhill Alley"
He showed a distressed expression, "My abilities are really limited. β
Mrs. Weasley nodded in understanding immediately, "It's not your responsibility, I'm just saying that I want you to make a proposal to the Ministry of Magic." The Ministry of Magic is really, and it doesn't do anything......"
She habitually complained about the Ministry of Magic, and then, at once, gently comforted the 'kind' gentleman: "My dear, please don't put any responsibility on yourself. You've done enough for the British wizarding world. β
Is it enough? β
Daniel had been thinking about this since he was separated from Mrs. Weasley.
Before coming to England, he never imagined that he could do so much.
But it turns out that he can do a lot of things, and he does them all very well.
'Have I become such a powerful person?' β
Daniel fell into a strange feeling, and although he had never felt inferior, he did feel that he was an ordinary ordinary person in this 'world of superheroes everywhere'.
disguise yourself as a magician as a wizard, tease those beautiful girls under the stage, grandstand, occasionally work part-time, with your back to the government, and wait for death......
But things often don't go as planned, and people never know how much potential they have or what will happen in the future.
He still remembers his reluctance to be transferred by Mycroft, and even felt that he would eventually mess things up and be thrown back.
But as it turned out, he did a good job.
In Mycroft's words, it's 'beyond imagination'.
Ay...... It seems to be a little blushing to boast about yourself like this!
Daniel slapped his hand hard beside his face, unconsciously revealing a silly and a little smug smile.
At this moment, the phone rang, and he looked down to see that it was Moriarty calling the video call.
Not a text message? Or video?
But it's no surprise that guy is fickle and comparable to a chameleon.
Daniel just thought about it for a moment and picked up the video call.
"Hi, Didyoumissme?" Moriarty on the screen greeted him with a bright smile.
"What are you wearing?" Daniel looked at his wizard's robe in surprise and almost laughed, "Where did you buy it?" β
"Diagon Alley." Moriarty replied, deliberately holding up his phone and moving it from top to bottom, "How's it going, is it pretty?" Two weeks ago, I went to order it. Next time we can ...... together"
He looked at the screen, opened his mouth temptingly, stretched out his tongue and licked the two little tiger teeth on the top, and smiled cute and bright: "We can go and order together." When the time comes, you can see what I'm wearing...... Of course, you can also see it if you want to see it this time, it's just ......"
He pretended to be impatient, and his fingers slowly slid all the way down from the delicate button on his neck, "This long row of buttons, slowly untie it, it's really troublesome......"
He winked at the screen: "Why don't we try to tear it apart, what do you think?" β
