Chapter 700: Magical Beasts Management and Control Division
With a clattering sound, an elevator descended in front of them, the golden fence door slid open, and Allen and his party walked into the elevator together. The elevator slowly ascended, and the chain clicked. As the elevator opened one by one, several wizards walked in, and when they saw Allen, they couldn't help but look a few more times, and then they were silently blocked by the wolf mother and a few others. Several paper airplanes whizzed into the elevator and flew slowly around their heads, their color a light purple and the wings stamped with the Ministry of Magic.
"The fourth level of the Magical Beasts Management and Control Division, including the Office of Beast Aliens and Ghosts, the Elf Liaison Office, and the Pest Consultation Office. As the cold female voice sounded, Alan and the others stepped out of the elevator, and a small group of notes flew out, and the elevator door slammed shut again.
It was completely different from the empty corridor of the Department of Mysteries just now, and this corridor was very lively, in addition to those swishing flying paper airplanes, there were also the sounds of various magical creatures roaring and wizards shouting.
"Mr. Alan Harris, I'm glad to see you, are you here to see the Director?" Mr. Amos Diggory, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw Allen and hurriedly lifted his glasses and came over to greet him, he took out his handkerchief and dried his wet hands, his short slightly curly brown hair neatly combed under the cap.
"Yes, I came to her. Alan reached out and shook hands with Mr. Amos Diggory.
"I'll take you in. Mr. Amos Diggory rubbed his hands awkwardly, the boy he could comment on as an elder was already a hot figure.
"We, the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, are the second largest department of the Ministry of Magic. We have the Alien Office, the Beast Office, and the Ghost Office. With Amos' introduction, they passed by an office. Elves with swarthy faces, pointed beards, and particularly long hands and feet are coming in and out in smart suits, and some leprechauns are waiting in line at the door with gold coins.
"That's the Elven Liaison Office, a subordinate department of the Alien Office. Amos' chin nodded at the office, and there was silence again.
"Centaur Liaison Office?" a small office sign around the corner caught Allen's attention.
"Despite the existence of the Centaur Liaison Office, it has never been used by centaurs, and being sent to the centaur liaison office has become an internal joke in the Ministry of Magic, meaning that the person mentioned will be expelled immediately. Amos scoffed, and then felt as if he had been too presumptuous, and his smile froze on his face.
"Cedric has been doing really well on the field lately, as a newcomer to the Montrose Magpies, he has just learned the tricks that many people will not use in their lifetime in the formal training of professional intensity, and he is a very potential Quidditch player. Alan saw through Amos's thoughts, so he chose to praise Cedric to ease the embarrassment.
Amos was a little excited when he talked about his son, and Cedric could be described as the pride of the Diggory family. He was a man of good character during school, and after graduating, he became a professional Quidditch player, and soon found a regular position in the field.
Everywhere he went, Amos heard praise for Cedric, and his son had become the best work of his life. As soon as Allen talked about Cedric, he couldn't help but get excited, "It's a prize, but Cedric is really good, he can catch the Golden Snitch in every game, and the coach and teammates trust him very much." Have you watched highlights from Harris TV's recent Quidditch event? Not counting the last catch of the Golden Snitch, there are six great shots of Cedric in flight close-up......
With Amos's various compliments on his son, Alan turned left and entered a narrow stone corridor, "As long as Cedric is in the game, he must be the one who catches the Golden Snitch, and he is the guarantee of victory." My family Cedric is definitely the best Seeker in the world. "Amos is already getting a little carried away.
"Hah!" Penelope's red lips raised lightly, and he snorted coldly, reminding Amos of who he was in front of his crotch.
Amos Diggory was shocked, and quickly looked up at Allen, and found that the other party was still smiling gently, slightly letting go of the apprehension in his heart, and admitting with some reluctance: "Of course, Cedric is the best Seeker except for Mr. Alan Harris. ”
"Sorry, let's let let's let's go, urgent mission. Four or five burly wizards, dressed in black uniforms, wands in hand, and some holding large folded nets, ran quickly in the direction of the elevator.
"That's the Ghoul Rangers, this must be on a mission. This Einsatzgruppen is responsible for driving out ghouls from dwellings that have passed into Muggle hands. Amos breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time they had gone to the innermost part of the corridor, pushed open a door and walked in, with the sound of the door closing, all the noise was shut behind the door, and after walking a short distance, they saw a door with the sign that read "Director's Office".
Amos straightened his clothes, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and a condensed and serious female voice came from inside the door, "Please come in." ”
"Mr. Alan Harris, Director, is here. Amos opened the door and said, and at the same time made the place clear, allowing Allen's figure to appear in front of Josephine Harris, and the umbrella team consciously stopped at the door, did not enter, and made a guard posture.
Josephine was bowing her head to correct the documents, but when she heard this, she immediately raised her head and stood up, walked around the wide desk, walked out, and asked in surprise, "Alan, why did you get here?"
"I'm taking up my job in the Department of Mysteries today, so I'm coming to see you. Alan walked in, and Penelope led Luna into the couch on one side of the room, and let the mad girl nest up, while Penelo himself seemed to be familiar with the office, took the tea set and began to make black tea for the others.
Seeing this, Josephine understood that Alan had something to discuss, so he said to Amos Diggory, "Thank you, Amos. ”
"Director, don't disturb your conversation, I still have something to deal with, please allow me to leave first. Amos Diggory took his leave, knowing that such an occasion was the time for him to avoid, and after Josephine nodded, he smiled at Alan and turned away, and thoughtfully opened the door for them.
"Alan, why did you come to me today?" Josephine beckoned Alan to sit down at his desk.
"Aunt Josephine, I have something I would like to ask you for help with. We wanted to change Helena's current state so that she could at least touch something, so we needed some experiments, like a female ghost or a Peeves Poltergeist. Alan explained his intentions.
"You should make it up to her. Josephine Harris rested his hand on his chin, "Naughty Tricksters are hard to find, you know, they usually pop up in places where a large number of teenagers live, and Mischievous Tricksters will appear with the 'building' or decide to move in at some point - they are classified as 'non-existent' among creatures, female ghosts are not much of a problem, I'll find the people in the Ghost Office, they are responsible for all things and problems related to spirit and magical creatures." Anyway, the ghosts didn't consider themselves human, they were against being classified as human, they thought it was a prejudice that they were already 'gone', so we separated them into a separate category and set up the Ghost Office. Be careful, though, the Banshee is a dark creature that is often found in Ireland and Scotland, and although it looks like a woman, its cry is lethal to hear - at least to the average wizard, so be careful not to let others hear it when you experiment. ”
Josephine agreed, this is under her jurisdiction, although it is a little troublesome to catch a female ghost alive, but it is not a big problem, it is a big deal to participate in the arrest operation herself, and then she looked at the time on the Hermle floor clock in the room and asked her nephew: "Alan, there is a trial this afternoon, as one of the members of the Wizengamot, do you want to attend?"
"What's it?" Alan asked.
"Because the Dementors rebelled and took refuge with Voldemort and no longer guarded Azkaban, the prisoners escaped, some were captured by the Aurors, but some joined Voldemort's side. But the ones on trial this afternoon are those who escaped from prison and turned themselves to the Ministry of Magic, including Barty Crouch, who escaped from Azkaban and then surrendered himself...... 3 p.m., Courtroom 3. ”
"All right, Aunt Josephine, I'll show my face. ”
