Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sullenness is the characteristic of Hufflepuff!
Because of history, the national conditions of the United States are completely different from those of Britain and even Europe.
It is a nation of immigrants, and in the early chaos of society, there was no magical government of any kind.
As a result, a group of dark wizards from different countries formed a mercenary - the Purge.
Whether they are criminals or not, as long as they can be exchanged for a bounty, the purgeers will choose to hunt and kill.
Later, some Puritans left England and settled in North America.
They wanted to completely isolate the wizards from this "new world", so they launched a "burn witch" campaign.
The Purges collaborated with the Puritans, and they began to sell wizards. Even the innocent Majj was captured as a wizard and handed over to the Puritans who hunted witches in exchange for payment.
The most notorious thing the Purges did was in 1692 when they presided over the Salem witch trial.
A total of 20 people, most of them women, were executed.
As a result of the Salem Witch Trial, the Magical Congress, the official body, was established in 1693 and liquidated the purges.
After a long struggle, the Purges were defeated, and they went underground, even infiltrating the No-Maj government and the Magic Congress, continuing to fight more obscure battles.
Therefore, of all the countries, the Magical Congress of the United States is the only one that does not cooperate with the Muggle government.
The two sides were even in a state of hostility at one point.
What bad things have been done in the United States, or it will be done with racial discrimination, or it will be left to the purges.
Professor Babling's transfiguration is very strong, and when she attacked, she probably deliberately showed her face and turned into some kind of wizard, making the Ministry of Magic mistake her for a cleaner.
Since it was done by the purges, then the thunderbird was likely captured by them.
Anyway, after discussion in the Magical Congress of the United States, such a conclusion was reached.
This is also the reason why Piqueli came to England, and she hopes to find clues to the Thunderbirds.
"Mr. Stark, I need your help, you fought that Thunderbird in France.
I wonder if you have a way to find it. ”
"The Thunderbird wasn't captured by the Cleaners at all, it was in England not long ago." William had no choice but to explain.
"What...... Mr...... I didn't understand ......"
"That Thunderbird fled Newt on its own initiative, and not long ago, it attacked the Hogwarts Express and lived in the Forbidden Forest." William shrugged.
"Is it still in the Forbidden Forest?" Piquelli said anxiously.
"It's gone, it seems to have left, it hasn't been seen for a long time."
"How do you know?"
"Firekiss told me...... A silly centaur man. William said.
"Can you take me to talk to her?" Piquelli asked, "I'd like to ask for details." ”
William frowned, "You really don't know about centaurs." They are xenophobic and don't like to interact with wizards, let alone strangers. ”
"And how do you communicate with the centaurs?" Piquelli wondered.
"I'm not an adult yet, and to them, just a harmless foal.
But an aunt in her twenties like you...... Approach them and you're likely to be attacked.
Therefore, I refuse your unreasonable request. ”
William was a bit shameless when he said this, and the foal was referring to the children who needed protection...... Does William need protection!
Anyway, the horses, no one thinks of him as a foal.
Piquelli, on the side, faintly felt a spell in his chest.
...... in their twenties Aunt?!
Who do you say?
Who is Auntie?
She took a deep breath and said loudly, "Don't you want to save Mr. Scamander?" ”
"Dumbledore will negotiate, in fact, the British Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic are already working together to put pressure on them, but you are holding on and not letting people go." William retorted.
Besides, Newt was commissioned by the French Ministry of Magic to agree to escort the Thunderbird, and he also reported to the United States in advance.
There is no reason for you to continue to detain him, but you have not protected his personal property and caused the loss of things.
To be compensated! ”
Now that the situation in the United States is complicated, William doesn't want to communicate too deeply with American wizards at all, otherwise it will affect Professor Babling's layout.
Especially the witch in front of her, who still came to the UK secretly, belongs to the three-no product. Don't even bother with her.
The witch was annoyed.
William ignored her, took Hermione's hand, and turned away.
After walking not far, William suddenly turned his head and said:
"By the way, what is your relationship with Lady Serafina Piquelli, the former president of the Magical Congress of the United States?"
"I ...... I'm her niece! Piquelli said with a straight face.
"Oh." William couldn't help but laugh. "Did she let you come?"
"It's not...... She didn't know. Piqueli argued.
William's smile grew stronger.
During her reign, Serafina Piquelli was the president of the Magical Congress of the United States.
During Serafina's presidency, Grindelwald entered New York in search of the Silencer. Newt was also sent to the United States by Dumbledore to investigate secretly.
After the New York incident, Serafina was under tremendous pressure to list the ptarmigan as a protected species.
With Newt's help, she changed the law to extend protections to all magical beasts in North America.
Rita wrote a biography of Old Man Newt a few years ago:
Man or Beast? The True Face of Newt Scamander.
Newt is described as "a love liar who left Serafina Piquelli behind, breaking her heart."
Uncle Newt criticized Rita in various ways. But now it seems that Rita is not all nonsense.
At least Serafina cares a lot about Uncle Newt.
Sure enough, Uncle Newt also looks honest, but in fact, he is extremely sullen in his heart, and he has a heart that wants to move.
It's like Cedric...... The first time he saw Qiu, he cried and shouted, letting William be his wingman.
Honest? (Fog!) )
Sullen...... is the characteristic of Hufflepuff wizards.
As William and Hermione approached the intersection, Piquelli suddenly shouted, "Mr. Stark, wait a minute! ”
"Well, please."
"Do you know an ancient magician professor named Targaryen?" Piquelli asked.
"Hmm...... I've never heard of it. William turned around and shook his head in mock dazedness.
"Is that your teacher?"
"No, he's a professor at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I've had a relationship with him." Piquelli hesitated,
Asked:
"He looks a lot like you...... In addition to being a lot older than you, the face is seven or eight points like! ”
"How can it be so similar?" William was surprised.
"Yes, but he's much better tempered and personable than you, and you two are certainly not alone!" Piquelli snorted coldly.
William shrugged.
I don't know what Piquelli's expression will be if he knows the personable "Professor Targaryen" in his mouth or the "Purge" who attacked the magical world.
I'm really looking forward to it!
He thought so in his heart, but sighed in his mouth:
"I didn't expect my handsome face to be not unique, it's a pity.
When I have time, I'll meet Professor Glian and see how good-looking and personable he is. ”
Hermione couldn't help but laugh, others didn't know the truth, she knew. praised it for a while, but it still praised itself.
William waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, young Miss Piquelli." ”
Piquelli stood still, not following, looking at their backs, not knowing what to think.
The two of them walked across the road, and Hermione suddenly pointed to the pile of people and said, "William, look, who is that?" ”
William followed his gaze and saw three familiar figures walking out of the ice cream parlor.
Each of them was holding a thickened version of chocolate ice cream, and with a large bag of snacks in his hand, and they walked staggeringly, looking [District 8] extremely happy.
"Annie!!" William shouted.
Anne turned her head and saw William and Hermione, she let out a sigh, instantly flushed her little face, and said in shock, "Run!" ”
Annie, Luna, and Ginny, the three little ones, turned around and ran.
Snacks on the body,
Bang
