Chapter Ninety-Two: Farewell to England

When Sirius finally became the Minister of Magic under the operation of all parties, his expression remained in a state of confusion.

'Fudge is down?' I was just ministered like that? -

The question is when am I going to run and say ...... Going to be a minister? ’

Then the Aurors congratulated him.

Remus Lupin wrote him a large inaugural manifesto overnight; the Diaothsayer's lengthy report;

He occasionally walked to Diagon Alley, and was watched by everyone's expectant and happy eyes.

Sirius was inexplicable, but he only felt that he was so tired that he couldn't just wave it all of a sudden.

Headmaster Dumbledore, who has been busy tracking down and resolving the Horcrux incident recently, couldn't help but smile with relief when he learned about it, and handed Sirius a letter with Phoenix Fawkes.

In the letter, he wrote in his own special trap and circle font:

"It is his choice that determines a person's fate, not his ability alone. Ciris, since you came to Hogwarts, your courage and integrity have been worthy of your every choice. I'm proud of you, and so am Hogwarts, Siris. ”

Professor McGonagall wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, "I can't think of it, I can't think of it! That mischievous mischievous man actually had the day to become the Minister of Magic. But I think Siris will be able to do a good job, this kid has been very stubborn since he was a child, as long as he wants to do it, no matter how difficult the prank is, even if it is breaking into the Forbidden Forest, he will always persevere, persevere...... It's a shame James and Lily didn't get to see this......"

"I don't think it's too late for me to immigrate to the United States."

Professor Snape looked disgusted, and then, very funny, complained.

Ever since that Daniel Black appeared, he has received frequent letters inviting immigrants.

In the United States, in particular, there are incomparably generous terms, such as what individuals have independent offices, how many assistants they have, and how much money they allocate each year......

Shocked by a bunch of sugar-coated shells, the professor has been able to stay in the UK so far, all thanks to a green-eyed little angel.

However, there is a company called Osborne, and the attitude is too sincere.

They did not require the professor to go to the United States, and on the premise of giving him favorable terms, they only required him to be able to give some technical guidance remotely, plus some agency rights of the professor's exclusive potion.

So, under Daniel's matchmaking, the professor finally signed a cooperation agreement half-pushed.

Ignoring these reactions, Sirius only felt like he was in a dream, and for a few days, newspapers, television, flyers, word of mouth, and so on.

In short, the propaganda told him an almost unbelievable fact: he was about to become the minister of the Ministry of Magic in the British wizarding world.

"You ...... Do you really think I'm fit to be a minister? ”

Sirius asked Malfoy and Daniel with a tangled face, "I always thought I was better suited to ......"

He waved his arms and made a forward gesture saying, "Charge!" ”

"You're not seventeen or eighteen years old anymore." Daniel said unceremoniously, "When people are old, beware of breaking their arms and legs, it is better to leave more opportunities for young people." ”

"I'm not even thirty yet!" Sirius shouted, "Moonface, what do you say?" ”

"I ...... Hmm......" Lupin looked at the ceiling, and suddenly said something that no one expected as if jokingly: "Actually, I was expecting that after you became a minister, you could try to come up with some new policies...... For example, allow werewolf children to go to Hogwarts on non-full moon nights? ”

Sirius was stunned for a moment, and he spoke in great surprise: "Remus? ”

"Uh...... I'm just thinking about it and don't take it seriously. Lupin smiled uneasily, and continued to concentrate on a piece of parchment with a quill, adding to Sirius' inaugural proclamation tomorrow.

"No, no, Remus, it's nothing, I think you're right. The Minister himself should work for the benefit of everyone in the wizarding world, and werewolves are also part of the British wizarding community......"

Sirius hurriedly comforted his friend, and he suddenly felt that the position of minister was heavy.

Daniel and Lucius looked at each other quietly, each slightly pleased that Sirius could have such an idea as 'working for the good of the wizarding world'.

"I'm not saying no...... I'm just feeling a little bit of a joke......"

Sirius scratched his head in annoyance, "I remember that in the past, every time there was a change of minister, there would be a lot of candidates competing together, but this time it seems to have fallen on my head all of a sudden...... It's weird. ”

"Isn't it good to have fewer twists and turns." Daniel replied calmly.

He didn't want to tell Sirius how much he and Malfoy were behind it. At the very least, he negotiated with the British government for a long time before the shackle family witch gave up his ministerial position and worked hard for the position of deputy minister.

"You're going to do well, Siris." In that optimistic and positive tone, Daniel said, "Although sometimes you are stupid, sometimes you are annoying, sometimes you are reckless and impulsive, sometimes you are extreme, sometimes you are rebellious to death, and sometimes you don't do good deeds!" But I think you're a hundred times better than Fudge. ”

Lupin and Malfoy burst out laughing.

"Thank you so much...... Such a high opinion of me. Sirius said with a smile.

"Okay!" He shrugged helplessly, "You've all done a thing, what else can I say." ”

"Can you rehearse tomorrow's inaugural speech in advance?" Lupin took the written parchment and handed it over to Jian Yì and said.

"Don't be funny!"

Sirius took the parchment rather awkwardly, but saw that all three people in the living room were looking at him with a very interested look on their faces. He felt that it was okay to be a clown once in a while.

"Alright, alright, let's try." Sirius was also in high spirits.

He stood solemnly in the middle of the living room and grimaced at the three of them.

Then, he cleared his throat: "My compatriots, today I stand here with a deep sense of humbleness...... Hi wait, moon face, why should I feel humbled? Am I not supposed to be great? ”

Daniel leaned back with laughter and collapsed on the couch.

Lucius reluctantly rolled his eyes at the ceiling that wasn't very good.

Lupin was the only one who cooperated with him, and said seriously: "You can change it to greatness." ”

"Okay, I'll go ahead...... I stand here with a great sense of greatness, and I thank the Ministers of Magic for their outstanding contributions...... Wait, what does Fudge have to contribute for me to be thankful for? ”

Sirius protested again.

"Let you quickly win the hearts of the people and become a minister, does it count?" Lupin has been very supportive and said.

"Isn't that because I'm so good?" Sirius asked, raising an eyebrow.

Daniel was already laughing speechless.

Lucius didn't want to look at it at all, he twisted his head, and said with a look of intolerance, "Tomorrow, can I refuse to attend his inauguration?" ”

No one answered him, and on the other side, the two Gryffindors were having a good time.

"That's right...... You can exclude Fudge. Lupin continued to hold Sirius in a serious manner.

So, Sirius cleared his throat again, and his face was stern and serious: "...... I thank the Ministers of Magic for their outstanding contributions, except, of course, for the Waste Fudge. Now, we all know that the wizarding world in the UK is in the midst of a massive transformation, and that all of us are fighting, and the opponent is ourselves...... Are we going to fight in front of the mirror? ”

"You can also face the window." Lupin responded nonchalantly.

“…… The adversary is ourselves, and due to the greed and irresponsibility of some people, our social order has been severely disrupted...... Wait, it's a bit unpleasant here. Can I name them directly? Wouldn't it sound more painful, for example, 'because of some stupid decisions by Fudge and his pink-clam/toad deputy ministers'? ”

Lucius covered his face with his hands, "I'm starting to regret listening to you, Daniel. ”

Daniel clutched his stomach and laughed on the couch.

A smile flashed in Lupin's eyes, but he continued to cheer with tacit understanding: "'Stupid decision-making' is a bit too rough. Actually, we can be tactful. For example, 'If you spend a copper nat on those decisions to buy them, you should still get change'. ”

Sirius laughed.

Lucius finally gave a slight applause.

At this time, Daniel's cell phone rang.

Holding his sore stomach from laughing, he struggled to get up from the sofa, made a 'you continue' gesture, and walked out of the living room while holding back a smile, "Good evening, Hawkeye." ”

"Want a free ride?"

Clint Barton's characteristic hoarse and somewhat nonchalant voice came from the phone, "I'm done here, I'm going back to the United States tomorrow, the director said, you agreed to his invitation." ”

"Uh...... Yes, he agreed, but he didn't tell me what he was going to do. ”

Daniel replied confusedly, "Besides, I heard that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been disbanded...... Wait a minute...... I realized that after losing my job, I still have to join a 'company' that 'has not been profitable and has already collapsed once'? Hell, I must have been inspired by Stephanie's words. ”

"Who is Stephanie?" Hawkeye laughed at his description, and let out a low, happy laugh on his phone.

"My girlfriend." Daniel replied that he was very conscious and put a name on the other party without authorization.

"Okay, boy, you've got a girlfriend! How's that, spicy or not? ”

Hawkeye, who has always been cold and strict with the image of a killer, is actually an annoying guy who loves gossip and laughs in front of familiar people.

"Super spicy." In this kind of thing, men's vanity will always prevail, and Daniel says it as if it were true.

He blinked his blue eyes and didn't blush to bring Natasha's description over: "Standard American beauty, blonde, blue-eyed and big-breasted ......"

"Wow! Yan Fu is not shallow. Hawkeye laughed and teased, and finally returned to the topic, "Forget about you, if you don't join S.H.I.E.L.D., you have to go to Stark Industries to apply for a job first......"

"Wait, I don't understand. Why should I apply at Stark Industries? ”

"And, even if I need to apply, shouldn't S.H.I.E.L.D. give me a back door?"

"Why do I still apply? Damn, do you need to send a resume over? Do you need an interview? Most importantly, you asked me to be a magician, what did I apply for? Has the hapless Stark Industries finally begun to expand into the entertainment industry? ”

"I don't know." Hawkeye was on the other end of the cheek, "Maybe it's the Stark mascot, or maybe you're in charge of the staff dedicated to them...... Maybe it's the boss - Tony Stark is magical? Enriching his daily entertainment life? ”

Daniel had a-eaten look on his face: "I refuse." Sue sù Nick Fury, I don't do it! ”

"It's late. Boy, it's too late for you to say nothing. Don't let me be tasked with 'knocking you out and forcing you back to the United States.'" Hawkeye joked.

"That's enough." Daniel grumbled.

Of course, he knew that it was unlikely that these speculations would come true.

But the idea that I would work in some government department was completely shattered...... It's really hard to become a civil servant or something!

However, I heard that the benefits of Stark Industries are very good, but the boss is also correspondingly very difficult.

I don't know what I did when I went, and I felt useless no matter how I thought about it, and what I was good at was useless.

No wonder some people say that bad looks are bad! ’

He muttered in his heart, and silently said to himself: 'Stephanie said a few words of encouragement, and I actually agreed happily, what's wrong with my head......

"When are you leaving?" Daniel asked.

"Tomorrow at noon." Hawkeye replied, "I'll call you when I get to London, and you go to the location I designated, etc." I'll pick you up and fly straight to New York. ”

"Got a plane?" Daniel's blue eyes lit up.

"Of course."

"Quin-style fighters, or aircraft carriers?"

"Better than those!" Hawkeye laughed again on the phone.

"Wow!" The originally low feelings suddenly rose high.

Daniel thinks: Although this 'company' has 'collapsed' once, it still seems to have a deep heritage!

"Okay, tomorrow at noon, I'll wait for your call." He happily agreed.

In the living room, there was still the sound of Sirius playing treasure.

Daniel stood quietly in front of a window, looking at the night sky not far away, as if looking at the British wizarding world and his own unpredictable future, maybe it was still dark and I couldn't figure out the direction, but light and sunshine would always come.

――――――――――――――――――

After Fudge's mess, the populace seems to be very enthusiastic about the next Minister of Magic.

Due to the small size of the place in front of the Ministry of Magic, and because the most high-profile place in the Black house is Diagon Alley.

As a result, Sirius became the first Minister of Magic to 'choose Diagon Alley as the location for his inaugural speech'.

On that day, Diagon Alley was crowded, and almost all the wizards crowded here, eagerly anticipating.

Sirius, who had been careless, was a little nervous, "Hey, brother, do you think it's appropriate for me to dress like this?" ”

"Excellent!" Daniel gave a thumbs up, "Super handsome today." ”

Of course, who is Sirius?

During the Hogwarts period, he was the prince of all the girls in the school, handsome, handsome, and magical, even though he was angry with his bad temper, willful and rebellious, everyone still thought 'he was so good-looking'.

The handsome face inherited by the Black family, with flying black hair, and obviously gray eyes, but there seems to be an incomparably blazing bright flame burning inside.

His whole being, like his name, hung high in the night sky, Sirius, the brightest of all.

When she watched Sirius like this on that podium, Narcissa was so excited that she wanted to cry.

How many years has the Black family not been as majestic as it is now, and this ancient family has finally regained its former glory in this generation.

Lucius wrapped his hand around Narcissa's waist and whispered, "Sissi, if he talks nonsense...... I think when it's over, let's leave early to avoid losing face. ”

Narcissa wasn't there last night, and she glanced at her husband a little dazedly, a little confused.

By this time, Sirius had already begun to speak.

He took Lupin and changed it, pondered the parchment all night, and read it casually in that low, ornate tone, and on the whole, it was uneventful, neither surprise nor fright.

Daniel stood in the audience and looked at this qiē with great pleasure.

Halfway through Sirius's reading, he received a text message from Hawkeye.

He gave an address, followed by a sentence: "It is expected to arrive around twelve o'clock, if the distance is long, you better arrive here early." ”

Daniel replied with a 'RECEIVED', looked down at the time, and saw that it was still early, so he decided to finish Sirius' speech before leaving.

“…… I will do my best to lead the wizarding world......" Sirius said this, and Lupin's speech for him was nearing the end.

Lucius and some of the wizards were ready to applaud.

However, Ciris Black, who never played according to the rules, suddenly stopped.

"I will do my best to lead the wizarding world towards a bright future. You want to hear this from me, don't you? ”

He stood on the stage and asked, and the wizards below were all confused.

Lucius tilted his head slightly and whispered in Narcissa's ear, "It's over...... Shall we leave first? ”

Narcissa's expression was stunned, but soon, a look of anger appeared on her face, "No, I'm going to listen to it, damn Sirius, if you dare to play a prank on such an occasion, I will definitely not spare him." ”

"But I don't want to tell you about it at all, and ...... What I said before is also all high-sounding nonsense. Sirius said a little nastyly.

A smile appeared on Lupin's face.

He wasn't surprised by Sirius's actions, and he didn't care much about the manuscript he had worked so hard to prepare turning into 'high-sounding nonsense', but he still had confidence in his friend.

"The future of the wizarding world has never depended on one person." Sirius said, "Everyone here should be the future of the wizarding world. I don't like to be responsible, I just do what I can, but since I'm sitting in the position of Minister of Magic, of course I'll do my best, but that's only if ......"

"We're all in one!"

Sirius said in high spirits, "Are you all gathered here to be led by someone who doesn't know what?" No! You also want the future of the wizarding world to change for the better! And a better future is not given by God, let alone waiting, only hard work can be obtained, only hard work ......"

“…… The history of the wizarding world has never been smooth sailing, and there are never shortcuts and paths to progress. This road to a better future is full of thorns and bumps, but will we give in to the detour? ”

"No!"

The wizards shouted excitedly with Sirius below.

At this time, the time for the presentation was long beyond the scheduled time.

Daniel felt compelled to leave, even though he was eager to finish Sirius' speech......

This big boy who can only play pranks, after experiencing the war of the Dark Lord, the unjust imprisonment of Azkaban, the death of his brother Regulus, and the disturbance after being released from prison, he has finally grown into a strong, mature, and responsible wizard.

Daniel felt that there was nothing more to be proud of.

"Goodbye, brother."

He once again took a deep look at Sirius on the stage, as well as Lupin, the Malfoys, Headmaster Dumbledore, the familiar Aurors, and the many, many wizards in Diagon Alley......

Then, as everyone listened intently to Sirius' speech, he turned away silently.

“…… It's going to be a path of bravery, and a coward would never set foot on it......"

Daniel walked slowly down Diagon Alley, Sirius' voice fading away.

He was a little inexplicably sour...... the wizards who laughed and stuffed candy into his pockets; The Slytherin nobles who are always pretending and decent, shouting that profit comes first, but will also lend a helping hand; The Aurors who are passionate and spare their lives for justice; the upright but flexible police inspector; McCroft, who always likes to make some requests, but is not stingy with encouragement......

He slowly walked out of Diagon Alley, and turned back again, where the Black Building, which had become a landmark of Diagon Alley, stood quietly.

“…… This difficult road of the brave, the road to a better future, you will be with me...... Walked through ...... together"

Sirius's voice and the cheers of the wizards were faintly heard.

However, Daniel has already phantomed away.

Soon, everyone found out about his departure......

When Sirius finished speaking, he couldn't be found anywhere; When Lucius Malfoy was about to talk to him; When Headmaster Dumbledore wants to ask about the Muggle government; When a lot of wizards want to celebrate with him for a drink......

At this time, everyone just thought that he had just left temporarily.

Until Sirius finished this lively qiē and returned to the old Black house.

Clearing tears from his eyes, Kreacher handed him a letter.

[Cirris, I'm back in the U.S.] Before leaving, I'll give you back all the Qiē from the Black family. ]

[I have already sorted out the specific materials and put them all in the study.] Although you don't like to bear so much, now that you have become the Minister of Magic, one is a back, and two are also back, it's nothing. ]

[Now, you're the head of the Black family, are you happy?] ]

[Don't think I'm so kind, brother, though.] I still hate you, who told Alphad to keep talking about you, he said you were magical, smart and cute...... After getting to know you, I didn't see it at all. ]

[In short, the position of the head of the Black family is left to you, the inheritance of the Black family is left to you, and the debts of the Black family are also left to you.] When I signed the IOU, I was in the name of the head of the Black family, so I didn't have to worry about the creditor finding the wrong person. ]

[Of course, the repayment date is still long, so please be sure to work hard and pay it off slowly.] It doesn't matter if you choose to pay it back, as long as Sissi doesn't Avada you. ]

[When I see this, I don't think you should be angry.] ]

[After all, the first person to pioneer the 'get rid of the mess and go out on your own' mode is yourself.] ]

[The fusion of the wizarding world and Muggles, I made a start.] After that, there will be a long run-in period of time. But fortunately, there is already a foundation, and I believe that as long as you follow the trend, you will gradually get better. I have confidence in your abilities, Sirius. ]

[Finally, I wish you a safe day.] ]

"Don't be sad, Siris. He just has something to do and is back in the United States, and we will have a chance to meet again in the future. ”

Lupin looked at Sirius with an expression that was about to burst into tears, and couldn't help but whisper comfort.

Sirius, however, turned his head with a look of helplessness and helplessness:

"Moon face, if you have something to do to go back to the United States, don't beautify him! That bastard obviously owes a huge amount of money, so he left us and ran away! What is the use of the Minister of Magic TMD! What should we do if the salary is not enough to pay off the debt? ”

"......" Lupin was silent for a while, and replied, "...... If you have too much debt, you don't have to worry. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Past ministers of the Ministry of Magic have had personalities, and historians have been happy to refer to them by some name.

Connery Fudge, for example, was once called 'the most useless minister'.

Among them, one of the biggest contributors to the wizarding world is Minister Sirisblake.

This minister, who came from a wealthy aristocratic family, was very strangely given the title of 'the most thrifty minister'.

In addition, as the most legendary Minister of Magic in history, the life story of Sirisblack is also legendary.

In his life, he went through the experience of defecting from the family, being falsely imprisoned, losing his heirs, losing his inheritance, being supported by his cousin, and later after his cousin left, he was burdened with huge family debts......

He is the wizard with the most estate in the wizarding world!

He is also the wizard with the most debt in the wizarding world!

The whole street of Diagon Alley is him!

But for a while, he was reluctant to buy himself a new set of clothes to wear in any store.

(Daniel: That's an idiot, it's normal for a company to operate in moderate debt.) Moreover, the companies I left behind are all profitable, okay! ）

His experience has been repeatedly written and remade by screenwriters and authors.

In particular, the relationship between his cousin Daniel Black and him is the focus of everyone's talk and enthusiasm.

However, this pair of Black brothers, although equally excellent, also had a significant influence and contribution to the wizarding world.

But their relationship with each other is good or bad, whether the relationship is deep, but it is always confusing, love and hate.

Because, whenever the old Minister Sirisblack sees 'Daniel Black' on the TV screen or in a book, he can't help but yell: "That bastard." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time,

Daniel stood in a relatively spacious suburb, looking at the tattered small plane in front of him, as if he had just come down from the battlefield after a hundred battles, and for a moment he wanted to faint.

He pointed to the thing tremblingly and stammered, "This is our plane!" You said...... Better than fighter jets and aircraft carriers...... Fly...... Plane? ”

Clint Barton was standing on the plane, climbing up and down with agility.

He took the tape and tightly wound and tied up the rear fuselage that was about to fall apart, and then turned around and said, "Don't you think it's cool?" Cessna is a small light plane, and when in the air, he is as agile as an archer......"

"The problem is not in the plane at all, the problem is in ...... Can this TM still fly when it is broken like this? You're still using duct tape to mend it! This TM is not a toy plane, it is broken, and it can be flew, and it can be flew......"

Daniel crumbled and shouted.

"Hey, boy, a little insightful!" At this time, Hawkeye successfully wrapped the rear fuselage of the small plane with tape again and again, and it looked like a striped decoration from a distance.

He also reached out and patted the mended part of the tape and said: "Look clearly, this is not ordinary tape, this is aviation tape for aircraft, aluminum foil metal tape." No problem at all. ”

"It doesn't matter what kind of tape it is, it's still tape. Which pilot dares to fly this kind of plane if he doesn't want to die? ”

Daniel complained speechlessly: "I sue you, I sue you, I will never ride this thing...... This plane should be thrown in the garbage dump! This kind of thing should not appear in reality, but in those anecdotes. In the right place, it can also be used as a headline broadcast, with the headline 'Don't panic if the plane breaks, the tape will continue to fly'. ”

"I'm so sorry, but I was the pilot who didn't want to die, and I think it's good." Hawkeye was amused by his frightened tone, and he pretended to be stern and said, "Stop talking nonsense, we should go!" ”

He stepped forward, grabbed the grinding Daniel, and was about to drag him to the plane!

"No...... No...... I don't sit anymore, I don't need a special plane...... I'm a civilian, I don't deserve to be on a special plane...... Please, let me go! I don't want to fall to my death! Daniel kicked his legs on the ground and shouted no.

He tried to struggle to stay, but unfortunately, not to mention that he was just a half-wizard, even a wizard with powerful magic, once he was approached by Hawkeye, who was good at melee combat, he would not have a chance of winning.

So, no matter how much he struggled, he was pulled by Hawkeye's strong arm and dragged all the way to the plane.

He was still unwilling, pitifully clutched the door of the plane, prevented the door from closing, and kept screaming: "I'm going to book a ticket, I'm going to book a ticket right away." I swear, this time, whether the ticket is discounted or not, I will book the original price. I promise, I'll be in the United States tomorrow! Hawkeye, will you let me go...... I'm not going to do this! ”

"Are you looking down on my driving skills?"

"No, no, no, I don't, I look down on myself...... How could I, an ordinary little person, bother the great Hawkeye to fly the plane himself? ”

Hawkeye was dying of laughter.

He simply reached out and broke his fingers one by one that were holding the hatch: "Don't make trouble, be good, don't worry!" With me, I won't let you fall to your death. ”

"Wait!! Wait a minute!! Clint Barton, I hate you!! I watched as he broke off his fingers one by one and dragged him into the plane, watching the hatch close, and he couldn't open the door even if he pounded it.

"Let me go down, let me go down!! At least let me leave a last word before I die...... I still have to make a phone call to confess to my girlfriend......"

"It turns out that you haven't confessed yet, what kind of girlfriend is that...... Hahaha, useless boy! ”

"No, no, no...... Ahh......hhh It's over! It's over! ”

The tattered little plane, wrapped in duct tape, has already soared into the sky with an astonishing momentum, heading for the United States.

There was a scream in the air!

"Sir, he's leaving." The assistant lady said.

"Oh......" McCroft looked into the distance with a faint expression, and said with a half-loud smile, "I'll see you again later." ”

――――――――――――――――――

"How does it feel to be king?" Moriarty asked his nearest ally with a smile.

"Not bad." Barty Crouch Jr. looked up.

He looked a lot like his father, but he was much more handsome than his father, but the expression on his face was just as cold and strong.

He tilted his head slightly in surprise, gave Moriarty a quick look, and suddenly asked, "That person has left England, don't you have any plans?" ”

"Intended?"

Moriarty's black eyes sparkled, and then, with great interest, he said, "Wait a while, I'm bored." I can go and play games with him again! ”
