Chapter 11 Cumbersome Government Agencies

Based on the remnants of the 'fairy tale' in our heads, we can't help but be contemptuous of the government agencies of the wizarding world.

But in fact, a legitimate government agency, even if it has a very small number of citizens, will gradually improve the most basic institutional framework in the gradual development of history.

The Department of Magic in the British wizarding world is divided into seven main departments: the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, the Department of Magical Beasts Management, the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the Department of Magical Transportation, the Department of Magical Sports, and the Department of Magical Affairs.

Moreover, the subordinate departments of each division are very cumbersome and meticulous, so to speak: although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs.

After knowing this common sense, it is easy to understand that if the formal procedures are followed, the problems of the Black family should be classified as inheritance issues, and can only be the responsibility of the 'Department of Magical Law Enforcement'.

However, the biggest problem arises: there is no inheritance law in the wizarding world.

In the earliest days, pure-blood nobles always had a little secret about their family. They have never needed outside dictation when it comes to choosing their heirs.

Occasionally, when there is a pure-blood severance and the family has no heirs, a declining family without an heir will naturally not be able to raise any objections to its own property. At this time, the Ministry of Magic will generously take the family into public ownership (I don't know what will be done in private).

These rules are not explained on the surface, but they are unspoken rules that are agreed on secretly.

However, the situation of the Black family is a little different, the direct blood relatives are almost severed, Regulus is missing (currently judged dead by the Ministry of Magic), Sirius is in prison (the Ministry of Magic believes that the prisoner has lost the right to inheritance), so on the surface, the Black family has also been cut off from blood.

Coupled with the sudden fall of the mysterious man, the Ministry of Magic took advantage of the chaos to collect all the properties of the Black family, which was called 'escrow'.

And Daniel came in this context.

If he is the brother of Sirius and Regulus, he can naturally circumvent these rules and inherit the family in the name of direct blood relatives, and directly ask the Ministry of Magic to hand over the so-called 'help in escrow' the Black family estate.

But unfortunately, Daniel's father was not the head of the Black family, and at that time, he could only be regarded as the second heir, and now it is even more unjustified when it comes to his son's generation.

Even though there are only two blood relatives left in the Black family (Sirius is in Azkaban prison), he still needs to pass the trial of the Wizengamot under the command of the Guò Department of Magical Law Enforcement in order to obtain the official inheritance.

And in the trial, there was no fixed, authoritative inheritance law, which meant that the decision on whether Daniel could inherit the Black family was not based on rules and laws, but on the show of hands of the fifty members of the Wizengamot.

To be honest, this kind of vote is really one-sided and not fair enough.

In response, the opportunist Lucius seized the time to take advantage of the situation: 'If Daniel agrees to let the Malfoys get a share of the Black family's magic equipment manufacturing business, he will be happy to help his relatives get some of the regular members of the Wizengamot'.

However, even Narcissa did not object.

She is also a wizard and a pure-blood nobleman, and she is used to this kind of exchange of interests. 'There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get help from others, you have to pay the same price'.

Daniel also nodded generously in agreement, because he was not interested in this.

He felt that it was more challenging and artistic to bring the entire British wizarding world to the screen of the Muggle world than to inherit a declining family in the wizarding world and take on the responsibility of 'restoring the glory of the family'.

And, think about it, when the day comes, it's too late to avoid the pursuit of the 'exposed' wizards, how can there be time to manage the Black family's family business...... Perhaps, when the time comes, you can think about getting Sirius out? is worthy of the father who died young.

I don't know what crazy intentions are in his heart.

Daniel's cheerful attitude was appreciated by Malfoy.

It is undoubtedly a wise choice for a foreign wizard to come to the unfamiliar British wizarding world alone, to be able to recognize the current situation and make timely decisions to make concessions, and to make reliable allies.

'Well, for Sissi's sake, I'll take care of you more in the future. ’

Malfoy smiled triumphantly.

However, what he didn't know was that due to the super beauty of the platinum family, Daniel had already tried to take a series of beautiful picture albums such as 'Malfoy Photo - Home Chapter, Malfoy Photo Picture - Banquet Chapter, Malfoy Photo Picture - Conversation Chapter' and so on.

'Scrape it up and get a platinum family calendar, notebook, or paper tape!' After the documentary is played, the corresponding peripheral sales can also be launched at the same time...... Perfect! ’

Daniel seemed to see a large pile of dollar bills flying like himself, so he couldn't help but look very happy.

Appropriately, he and Lucius glanced at each other, and each of them looked like they were happy to cooperate.

Then, each of them laughed.

At the same time, Mr. McCroft Holmes is confronted by his greatest nemesis of his life, his younger brother, Sherlock Holmes.

"You could be a little more naïve." Mycroft rubbed his temples on both sides, and said to his brother sitting at his desk, in a mocking and somewhat helpless tone, "You're not three years old, Sherlock, can you know a little once in a while?" ”

"Of course, of course, I can satisfy you. If you tell me the name, name, and address of the amazing survivor who escaped from the 'Taxi Killer', I'll be out of here in no time. A thin man, with a straight nose, bright eyes, and slightly thin and cool lips, replied quickly.

He had curly hair and wore a shirt and suit, but he didn't look serious at all, and sat unrestrained and unruly at Mycroft's desk. He faced Mycroft, bent down, almost on the table, and stared into the other's eyes in a posture that was really not good-looking, and demanded with great interest and stubbornness: "Come, sue me, McCroft, who is he?" Is it a new person under your command? Or is there a new super agent joining Kingsman? Did he use any black technology that could suddenly disappear or become invisible? The 'taxi killer' was so scared to death by him that he almost went home to die...... Thankfully he continued, otherwise I would have lost a lot of fun, thank goodness ......"

"The failure of a serial killer is not something to be happy about." Mycroft interjected, he glanced at Sherlock with a sharp eye, and asked cautiously, "How did you know about Kingsman?" ”

"Oh......" Sherlock rolled his eyes slyly, trying to hide the little thing that 'he had once again stolen Mycroft's access to some files that he shouldn't have seen'.

"I accidentally saw it!" In the end, he said it in a nonchalant tone, not so seriously perfunctory.

"Sherlock!" Mycroft tried to reproach him for this behavior in a stern tone: "I remember I said, don't do dangerous things. ”

"But it's not a dangerous thing, you haven't told me the answer yet." The curly-haired detective swore to turn the subject back again, "Who the hell is that person?" What identity? What abilities? I'm very interested, sue me, Mycroft. Tell me, satisfy my curiosity, and I'll let you continue to be quiet. ”
