Chapter Seventy-Two: The Forgotten RAB

"Hell, did you find someone to block me?"

Mycroft covered his face on the right side of his face with his hand, he had recently started to have a toothache again, and I have to say that the mess of the Battle of London really made him tired of it.

"I really didn't expect that, I knew he might be resistant, or something......"

Daniel was also a little incredulous, "But how could Fudge be so stupid?" I think, at the very least, he'll do a little bit better on the surface. Because, when he was running for the post of Minister of Magic before, he was quite a rudder. ”

"You also said that was before." McCroft said with an uncomfortable expression: "Being in a high position will always make some low-IQ fools forget their true identity. ”

Probably because of the toothache, there was something bad about his rare tone, and of course, it could be that Fudge did provoke him.

"You've seen the video, right?" McCroft asked.

"Yes, it's not just me." Daniel replied politely and with a little smile, "In fact, wizards in the wizarding world who watch TV should have watched the live broadcast of this negotiation. However, after watching it, most people may not think of it as a diplomatic negotiation, but as a hilarious comedy? ”

Mycroft tilted his head slightly, glanced over in surprise, and then, gently curled the corners of his lips, "Funny comedy?" It sums it up very well. ”

Fudge apparently didn't know what the wizarding reporters with cameras were doing in a diplomatic negotiation he didn't take much seriously.

Therefore, he didn't know that this negotiation was made into a live broadcast to the wizarding world by Daniel.

But maybe...... Even if he knew, he wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

(Thanks to the British government's prudence and secrecy, they didn't plan to do anything live until the dust settled.) Otherwise, it's a shame for the wizarding world this time. The most important thing is that it is embarrassing, and Fudge's bad attitude will really cause a big contradiction between the two parties. ）

During his initial campaign for Minister of Magic, Fudge pretended to study Muggle stuff in order to create his own political image. Occasionally, he echoed Headmaster Dumbledore, stating that he had no ill feelings towards Muggles, in order to win the support of the wizards of the Gryffindor system.

However, as soon as he became Minister of Magic, he changed his position...... No, wrong, maybe it's not a change for him.

From the very beginning, he had been secretly hanging out with some pure-blood wizards in private, and had been meeting the great Slytherin nobles, revealing some of his contempt for Muggle truth.

But in any case, during that time, despite his hypocrisy.

But his attitude is quite wise, his position is always very neutral, and he skillfully connects the two sides.

However, after he became a minister, he was probably really carried away by power.

He began to fantasize that he could become the upper echelon of the wizarding world, the new aristocracy, like Malfoy and the others?

(This is presumably due to the environmental impact of his humble family of young wizards.) ）

(Just like some ordinary people in Muggle societies who talk about despising the arrogance and hypocrisy of those nobles, once they have the opportunity to become nobles, they become even more arrogant and hypocritical than those they look down upon.) ）

(You know, getting rich from the poor is one of the most terrible things in the world.) ）

(There are really too few people who can always maintain their hearts.) ）

In the live broadcast, Fudge vividly showed his stupidity.

At the time of being received by the Prime Minister.

"You should bow to me."

He said so arrogantly to the British Prime Minister, "You have to be polite to me, sir." ”

The handful of friendship extended by the poor Prime Minister came to a halt in mid-air.

He withdrew his hand, and then, turning back to an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he said tactfully, "What did he just say?" Did I hear me wrong? ”

"He asked you to bow to him." The official opened his mouth wide and looked surprised, then reflexively replied to the Prime Minister's words.

"Uh...... Is this some special etiquette in the wizarding world? The prime minister continued to politely ask the Foreign Ministry official: "I know that some ethnic groups have strange etiquette, such as Nepalese people will stick out their tongues when they meet; New Zealand natives will touch each other's noses when they meet; There is an ethnic group in Zimbabwe who will even roll on the ground and knock each other on the buttocks...... Well, what strange customs do wizards have? Let the British Prime Minister bow to them? ”

This funny Prime Minister really made a lot of people laugh in front of the TV.

But this definitely doesn't include most of the wizards with brains in the wizarding world.

In fact, many wizards feel ashamed when they see this scene on TV.

The aristocrats mostly thought Fudge was pretending to be a clown; Ordinary wizards also thought, 'How can he be so rude, Merlin?' ’； Even the paranoid wizards who never believed in the status quo and always maintained the idea of 'looking down on Muggles' thought, 'Is there something wrong with Fudge's brain?' Does a wizard still need to find superiority in front of Muggles? ’

Mr. Weasley even exclaimed in front of the television, "When did Fudge become like this?" Even that bastard Malfoy wouldn't ask the guy he just met to bow to. Who does he think he is? Queen? ”

(Lucius: Don't compare me to a fool, thank you.) ）

In short, the scene is very awkward.

Fortunately, most of the people on the Prime Minister's side were adept at dealing with such diplomatic mishaps, and they were experienced enough to find a reason to attract Minister Fudge's attention and successfully steer the issue aside.

Negotiations were able to continue.

“…… Just like the Battle of London, in the future, the enemy we are about to face is likely to be unknown, common, dangerous and threatening, and we owe it to us to unite and hate the ......enemy for the sake of our common motherland, Great Britain."

The Prime Minister carefully recounted the topics of conversation that his team had previously designed.

"Yes, yes, we will protect you." Minister Fudge interrupted him, and he said impatiently, "We'll protect the Muggles, don't worry." ”

"......" Prime Minister froze.

Once again, he couldn't help but look back at his team.

The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also a little dumbfounded, and they wordlessly gave the prime minister a blank expression.

Then, Fudge took out his carefully prepared text and said, "I think we should be honest and direct, and not go around in circles." ”

He handed Wen Jiàn over with one hand, "Of course wizards protect Muggles. But at the same time, Muggles deserve to respect wizards and give them higher treatment, which is what we need......"

With great patience, the Prime Minister took the paper.

But after just one glance, he revealed an indescribably complicated look.

After about half a minute, he looked around and said as politely as possible, "Sorry, I'll miss you first." ”

Then, he hurried out of the room, as if a dog was chasing him.

In the hallway, he strode forward as he said to his guard, "Are you sure this is a representative from the wizarding world?" Isn't this guy really what you came to make fun of me? I admit that work has been tiring and boring lately, but this kind of fun, please be less troublesome......"

And then, no more......

The Prime Minister clearly does not intend to appear again.

If we ignore the awkward atmosphere and the realistic background of the intermediate process.

Simply put it on Youtobe as a funny video, this video should have a pretty high click-through rate, really.

"When are you going to have a general election?" "I think it's better to wait until you're the Minister of Magic, and then we'll talk about working together." ”

"Uh......" Daniel looked at the ceiling, "The wizarding world's ministers of magic seem to be ...... for life"

"Oligarchic government?" Mycroft raised an eyebrow.

"Almost! I'll figure it out, though. Daniel replied calmly.

At the same time, Grimmauld Place, the old home of the Black family.

Sirius was surprised to find that the door next to his bedroom, the one that belonged to Regulus, was suddenly opened by the always closed and stubborn Kreacher who had used a spell (from this point of view, Ciris had always felt that Daniel was too indulgent of Kreacher) and did not allow anyone to open it.

His brother's Muggle boyfriend stood stupidly in the doorway, and when he saw him come out, he turned his head and greeted him with a bright smile, "Hi, good morning, brother." ”

"Don't call me brother, I'm not your brother." Sirius replied angrily, and then walked over.

He looked at the elegant inscription on the door, 'Do not disturb without the approval of Regulus Attalos Black', and then asked with a complicated expression, "Muggles, what have you done?" How did the door open? What's going on? Kreacher, Kreacher! What about Kreacher? ”

Crying tears, snot, and a handful of house-elves appeared in front of them with a thud.

"Kreacher didn't do what Regulus' master ordered......" it cried out in inexplicable pain, and then, throwing itself on the floor, striking it hard with its forehead, let out a cry: "Kreacher is not a good elf......

In fact, once Daniel took charge of the house, he forbade the house-elves to punish him.

So, it's rare for Kreacher to make such crazy moves again, but this time, it seems to be so excited that it sprouts in a solid state again.

However, this is a very normal thing to see in Sirius.

In his stereotype, 'house-elves are such servile and crazy creatures'.

"Don't do this, don't do this." Moriarty feigned kindness and tried to help Kreacher to his feet.

"Don't touch me, Muggle." Kreacher screamed and dodged him, refusing his support.

"Make everything clear, what did Rael order you?" Sirius sensed something was wrong, and he almost roared at the house-elves.

His brain was a bit of a mess, after Regulus' disappearance...... Everyone, everyone told him that his brother was a coward who joined the Death Eaters, but fled.

Afterwards, no one found him, and it was not known where he had gone, however, his name in the ancestral house was quietly dimmed, showing the sign of 'dead'.

Therefore, Sirius always thought that Regulus had been killed by the cruel Death Eaters because he had escaped.

But now, it seems that there is something else hidden?

He was in no mood to pay attention to the Muggle anymore, and coldly commanded the house-elf that he had never taken to heart.

"Kreacher!" He gritted his teeth and commanded viciously: "Explain everything to me clearly, and don't miss a word." ”

However, the truth of the matter is undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

On the other hand, when Daniel left McCroft's side, the relationship was not bad.

Although he underestimated Fudge's stupidity, and did not expect Fudge to dare to negotiate without knowing anything about the Muggle world, in fact, this was not out of his and McCroft's actual plans.

The more chaotic the regime on the wizarding side, the easier it is for the government to deal with it.

Minister Fudge took himself too seriously, and he was just a shield on the surface.

With Daniel's matchmaking, many of the big nobles in the wizarding world have already had a preliminary communication with the upper echelons of the Muggle government.

In addition, even the spiritual leader of the wizarding world, Headmaster Dumbledore, once had a brief afternoon tea conversation with Her Majesty the Queen of England.

As early as the struggle between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, the Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world was already dead in name.

After the war, the Ministry of Magic was able to survive only because after the defeat of the Death Eaters, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, Archduke Dumbledore, selflessly disbanded the Order of the Phoenix.

Otherwise, the Order of the Phoenix is definitely more like a real government of the wizarding world than the Ministry of Magic.

After both sides have already tentatively made contact with the British government, and both have initially expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Minister Fudge's wishes are no longer so important.

The reason why he can still toss there is just that everyone needs such a person to stand in the way before they complete their private transactions.

So, Daniel didn't bother too much, and after exchanging information about each other with McCroft, he turned around and went home.

But he really didn't expect that, in addition to that bunch of boring business, there was actually a crying Sirius at home, waiting for him to come over to comfort him.

Upon learning of the heroic actions of his brother the Coward, Sirius fell into a state of great grief.

If he could, he would rather Regulus still be the coward he remembered, a complainant, or even a humble life, than he would die for some illusory justice.

"That should have been my responsibility." Sirius said with tears in his eyes, "If I had been here, it wouldn't have been Rael's turn......

"Indeed." Daniel replied to him expressionlessly, completely unable to arouse the desire to comfort the other party, "That's all your business." ”

In fact, after he came to the wizarding world, he tried to turn the matter of Regulus into account for a while in order to awaken Sirius's sense of responsibility.

(It's not hard to turn it over, because that time, Sherlock must have seen something, but he didn't say it because he didn't go to him for advice)

But then, he gave up.

After all, Regulus is dead and cannot be resurrected.

And his affairs are related to the Dark Lord's Horcrux incident......

He selfishly didn't want to add to his workload: with such a bunch of things in the wizarding world not finished, would he still be responsible for eliminating the Dark Lord?

Don't be funny!

Why chase an inexplicable terrorist? The whole world doesn't revolve around the Dark Lord.

The United States has not given up on economic development because of one **!

Wouldn't it be better for him to completely transform the wizarding world and let the resurrected Dark Lord see this new world?

But just after he had forgotten about it, someone actually turned it over.

Daniel looked at Moriarty with some surprise.

Moriarty simply spread his hands innocently and said with a very honest look: "Sorry, dear! But it's really a coincidence. I just pushed the door curiously...... You know, Muggles are always curious about wizarding wizards...... Then, that spell of yours seems to be used against wizards, and has no effect on Muggles. So, I pushed it away. ”
