Chapter 1520: Just Beginning
To this day, probably many people are rejoicing in the friendship between the British Ministry of Magic and the Muggle royal family and Muggle prime ministers.
Without this communication that had been in the shadows for so long, the wizarding world would have been exposed to Muggles as it is today.
Right now, Hermione, who was sorting out the portkeys with a group of wizard supporters in the makeshift camp in Faversham Town, couldn't help but look at the troops outside who were maintaining order.
Yes, when Muggles and wizards get together, it doesn't have to be war, does it? There is a real possibility of working together to save more lives, as we do now!
"It is said that after the Law of Secrecy was officially enacted, the first people to try to contact Muggle heads at a meeting of the Ministry of Magic were members of pure-blood families...... Well, there really is no absolute 'right' and 'wrong' in this world! ”
The reason why the pure-blood family proposed such a proposal in the first place is that you don't need to think about it to know that there must be selfish intentions, and the reason is nothing more than for more interests.
But those pure-blood wizards at the time would never have imagined that their proposal for their own selfish interests would now become one of the important conditions for the smooth cooperation between English wizards and Muggles.
"It's just ......"
Thinking of this, Hermione's movements at hand couldn't help but pause slightly.
"And that's just the beginning."
As she said, Muggles' contact with wizards had only just begun. At present, the cooperation between the two sides was quickly reached under the pressure of Helbo, not to mention that the integration of the two societies is not just a matter of one country.
When magic, technology and the human heart truly collide, what the future will become is something that no one can predict.
"Forget it, I don't have time to think about these distant things right now...... After all, it wasn't Helpo's fault that he would become like this, and if he was allowed to run rampant like this, everything would become meaningless. ”
Putting aside all the thoughts in her heart, Hermione suddenly sped up the speed in her hand, and the first batch of Muggles that needed to be transferred was about to come!
But at this moment, several Muggle soldiers ran in quickly through the door of the large military tent.
"Miss Granger?"
Although she didn't know what the other party was looking for, Hermione immediately put down what she was doing and walked over there quickly.
"Hello, is there anything wrong?"
"Uh......"
Even though they had a general understanding of each other's situation when they first met, when the arraignment soldier really needed to talk to the leader of the wizarding volunteer team, such a young Hermione still made the other party feel a little weird.
However, the other party is a soldier after all, and in the case of responsibility, personal feelings are obviously not so important.
"What's more...... The chief also said before, 'witches', 'magic' and the like, it's better not to judge by common sense! ”
Such a thought flashed through the soldier's mind, and then, seeing his face, he said:
"During the evacuation, our team encountered several men and women who claimed to be wizards and refused to cooperate, saying that they wanted to talk to you. Upon receiving the news, our chief said that he would like you to dedicate a team to evacuate any wizards that may exist in the town, so that the operation will be more efficient. ”
"Unwilling to cooperate?" After hearing this, Hermione immediately asked, "What is the specific situation, is there a conflict?" ”
It's not a day or two that wizards are prejudiced against Muggles, and there are more than one or two who hold such views. Since Hermione knew this well, her first reaction when she heard about it was to ask if there was a conflict, which would determine how many people would need to be assigned to resolve the issue.
Fortunately, the situation on the scene does not seem to be too bad.
"There's no conflict yet, just some stalemate," the soldier shook his head, "those wizards...... It doesn't seem to know us as well as you do, so it's a bit difficult to communicate. ”
"I see! Sorry, please wait here for a moment, soon! Hermione nodded in disapproval, then turned and walked back into the tent.
It wasn't long before she returned to her with three more volunteers behind her, as well as one of the Aurors Lupin had assigned to her.
"Please have someone take us there!"
"Uh...... Miss Granger, are you going to go in person? ”
Although the soldier always felt that the capable wizard who followed the last was more like a leader...... Because of the other party's behavior, he felt a similar aura to his own soldiers.
However, the leader of the wizarding volunteer team is clearly the Miss Hermione Granger in front of her.
Seeing Hermione nod her head again, the other party suppressed the awkwardness in her heart, turned around and walked towards the back of the camp with this improvised wizard team.
The front of the camp was now full of Muggle residents waiting to be transferred, and it was obviously more convenient for them to walk from the back.
As the group made their way around the tent area and to the barricade at the back, Hermione saw a row of military jeeps parked next to them suddenly start and head this way.
"Miss Granger," the soldier asked, turning his head hesitantly until this moment, "the ...... Get there by car...... It should be fine, right? ”
To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with these so-called "wizards", and he didn't know if they would have any habits and taboos that he didn't know existed.
For example...... God knows if these wizards just like to fly in the sky on broomsticks?
If you let them ride in the car without asking anything, will you unknowingly touch the other party's taboo, and then quietly suffer some weird curse?
Well, isn't that what those say?
Other countries aside, at least in the UK, the legend of wizards has been heard since childhood. But now that I've been in contact with it so closely, there seems to be no better way to deal with it than to treat this group of people who like to wear weird old-fashioned clothes as "another species".
For this somewhat cautious soldier, Hermione could only smile and say:
"Don't worry too much, in fact, the gap between us is by no means as big as you think. You know, before we went to school in the wizarding world, many of us lived in ordinary families and studied in ordinary schools, just like you...... And even if some wizards have grown up in pure wizard families since childhood, there are related subjects in the school that teach everyone about ordinary society! ”
As she said this, she opened the door of the jeep and slipped inside.
