Chapter 5: The Lost Chest
The political system of the wizarding world is very different from that of the Muggle world.
As a nominal United Nations, it does not have much power, it is controlled by the five rogue states, and the secretary-general is just an empty shelf.
The wizarding world is different.
The International Confederation of Wizards is a powerful ministry that can interfere with the sovereignty of nations.
The well-known "International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Law" was researched, formulated, and then strictly enforced by this institution.
The Federation can also review draft national legislation through the International Office of Magical Law to ensure that it does not conflict with the Secrecy Act.
If they think there is a conflict, the draft legislation of the Ministry of Magic will be immediately rejected and declared null and void.
In other words, for a law to be introduced in the UK, it must first be approved by the Federation.
There's a lot of room to maneuver in here!
People say you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it!
This is a way of interfering with sovereignty.
Therefore, the Foreign Affairs Department of the British Ministry of Magic is actually the "internal diplomacy" under the Federation, and its independence is greatly limited.
The members of the Federation are appointed by the ministers of magic of each country, and they must also be approved by the Wizengamot, both of which are indispensable!
Of course, they want to fight for their national interests.
Dumbledore was the British commissioner of the Federation, and he was elected president of the Federation in the election!
But the president can't cover the sky with one hand, he has natural constraints and is at risk of being knocked out.
As long as Minister Fudge does not approve of Dumbledore becoming a member of the Federation...... You're not even a committee member, and you can't continue to serve as president!
If William puts Hermione in the position of minister, and he goes to be the president of the federation, then he will really cover the sky with one hand, and the position will be firm.
Hermione can't get him off!
This is the protection of officials and officials.
In addition to this, there are other constraints on the Federation.
It can interfere in the internal affairs of various countries to a certain extent, but it cannot be directly managed, and orders must be issued through the international magical law offices of each country.
This office acts as an intermediary, a lubricant, with the Federation issuing orders and the Legal Office being responsible for communicating them to the Ministry of Magic.
Theoretically, Dumbledore had no power to command wizards within a country.
As Cregan had said, he hadn't received an order from the law office, so he didn't have to pay attention to Dumbledore, even though he was an adult.
This is playing a time difference, and in the process, I want to solve Newt first!
Dumbledore was caught off guard and had to give William an authorization to let him, the youth representative, exercise the rights of the Wizengamot in England.
William did not have the right to extradite Newt, but he did have the right to visit Scamander, which was given to him by the Wizengamot.
That's why he's here today!
Clegane couldn't refuse, he was silent for a moment, and then led William and Hermione towards the hall.
Miss Costa waved her hand and told William that she would leave work at eleven o'clock and not forget to come to her after visiting Scamander.
French girls are passionate and unrestrained, and in this regard, English girls are far behind.
Of course, English girls are much more violent than others, and for the sake of their own safety, William will definitely not come.
The three of them walked through the antechamber to the central hall, and from a distance, a huge statue was placed in the most prominent position.
The statue has the iconic elements of the French tricolor, the cockade and the Phrygian cap.
There is also a row of mottos below the statue: Incanté, Envouté, Conjuré!
Hermione looked at the words curiously, and William explained, "The motto means 'cast spells, cast spells, summon'. ”
"How?" Clegane is also fluent in English. "Like this aphorism of ours?"
William frowned, the French liked to ask English wizards such questions.
Fleur asked several times.
This is certainly not an easy question to answer.
Admit that you like this quote, the French will think that you are a very unromantic wizard, and they like to be simple and rough.
Say you hate it, and say your daily milk method.
You're making it clear that you're embarrassed for me Fat Tiger!
"The wizard who said this must be remarkable." William avoided the trap.
Clegane smiled and instructed an Auror to take the two to Newt.
The Auror took William and Hermione in the elevator.
On the fifth basement floor, the three of them walked out and walked towards the room at the end of the road.
"She can't go in." An Auror stopped Hermione at the door.
"Miss Granger is my personal secretary." William said lightly, "Responsible for recording Mr. Scamander's testimony." ”
Hermione nodded hurriedly, pulling out a quill from the safety sheet, along with a roll of parchment.
"If you have any opinions, you can go to the federation and sue me." William shook the Wizengamot badge on his robe and said softly:
"But you'd better not stop us, or I'll think you're defying the Federation and President Dumbledore."
The Aurors hesitated and got out of the way.
William led Hermione into the room, and the door was closed.
Scamander's trench coat was gone, replaced by a prison uniform, and he was fastened to a chair with a thick magic ring on his hand.
There are also a large number of civets squatting in the room.
The civet is a spirit creature that guards the Ministry of Magic in France and keeps an eye on prisoners.
"What's going on?" William sat down in his chair. "I received a letter from Professor Dumbledore and was taken aback, how did you get arrested?"
Newt smiled wryly, his eyes flickered, and he turned on the autism mode.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore ask you to go to America at Easter?" William asked.
William discussed with Dumbledore at the time that it would be best for Old Man Newt to spy on Tom.
He has experience in dealing with the Dark Lord!
"I wanted to go, but something happened, and I found traces of Vida Rozier's activities in Paris."
"Vader Rozier?" William was stunned for a moment.
"She is a Witch Party, Grindelwald's assistant back then, and a woman who believes in Grindelwald."
Newt looked at the door, uneasy, "But now it's here, William, my box ......"
"Don't tell me, lost?"
Newt was silent for two seconds and nodded.
"How could you lose it?" Hermione said urgently.
She had seen the chest in Nicol Manor, and it contained more magical beasts than perhaps more than Hogwarts.
"I was looking for a mysterious circus in a hidden place, and then someone suddenly attacked, and when I woke up, the box was gone, and the people were captured by the Aurors."
"It can't be the French Ministry of Magic, right?" William frowned.
"Probably not." Newt sighed, "They're looking for that box now, too." ”
"But you'd better find it before they do, some of the magical beasts inside are illegally transported and not registered.
If I had been caught, I would have been convicted and the animals would have been killed. ”
"For example......"
"Hagrid's dragon—Noble."
“……”

(The word "saint" is lofty, but in translation, Grindelwald's followers never use the term saint, they are all Witches.) )
