Chapter 300: When Edogawa Conan Meets Emma Watson
February 14 is Valentine's Day, which is also Hogsmeade Week in February.
Although Percy's recent education order has extended the distance between boys and girls to eight inches, it still can't stop Hogwarts from letting students spend the holidays with their significant other.
Anyway, the Education Order only works in Hogwarts, not Hogsmeade.
In Hogsmeade, not to mention that the distance between boys and girls is within eight inches, as long as you have the ability to keep the distance negative.
/**I'm talking about kissing, I want to crooked self-respect*/
After breakfast, the school-age students rushed to Hogsmeade, and the crowd kept talking about how today's date was going to go and what had happened last night.
According to the Hogwarts Road (Side) Transparency (Dew) Agency, Professor Zhang and Professor Weasley clashed near the library last night for unknown reasons, and the two pulled out their wands and exchanged "biu" spells.
As a result, a curse accidentally hit Hermione Granger, who had just come out of the library, and just as Hermione Granger fell, Professor Zhang, who was stunned, was hit by Professor Weasley's curse.
Now Zhang Xu and Hermione can only lie in the school doctor's room for Valentine's Day.
Last night and this morning, when their relatives and friends tried to visit them in the school infirmary, they were kicked out by Madam Pomfrey, and the only thing they could see was two humanoid mummies on the hospital bed.
Just as the Hogwarts students arrived on Hogsmeade Street, which was decorated with red roses, a young man with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, walked into a dilapidated red telephone booth on a bleak side street in London and pressed "62442".
"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and what to do."
A woman's cold voice said to the two people in the phone booth.
The woman in the phone booth, about twenty years old, said, "This is Mr. Conan Edogawa and his translator Emma Watson from the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Magic, and we have made an appointment to visit Mr. Amos Diggory, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, this morning. ”
Just a while ago, because of his son's repeated accidents, Barty Crouch, the disheartened director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, submitted his resignation to the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge could only approve his resignation after some efforts to no avail. Then, after some intrigues, Amos Diggory, the former director of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control and the father of Zhang Xu's future uncle Cedric Diggory, took the position of director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation last week.
"Thank you." The woman's cold voice said, "Guest, please pick up the badge and pin it in front of your clothes." ”
There was a sound like a coin falling to the ground, and two square, silver badges with the words "Edogawa Conan, Visit" and "Emma Watson, Visit" slid out of the metal diagonal slash that was supposed to be used to withdraw the coin.
When the two people in the phone booth pinned the silver badge to their chests, the indifferent female voice in the phone booth rang again.
"Guests of the Ministry of Magic, you will need to be screened at the security checkpoint and register your wand. The security desk is located at the end of the main hall. ”
The ground of the phone booth suddenly trembled, and the two of them slowly sank into the ground.
When the phone booth fell into darkness, Emma grabbed Conan's arm beside her with some nervousness, and her whole body subconsciously pressed over at the same time.
(□-□
Conan lifted the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, then gently patted Emma's hands on his arms, motioning for him to relax.
Feeling a little warmth coming from the back of her hand, Emma got a little courage from it, and then relaxed. That's when she realized that she didn't know when she had been on Conan's body.
After descending in the dark for nearly a minute, the elevator arrived.
The two, who had regained their mood, exited the elevator and walked into a long golden hall to the sound of "The Ministry of Magic wishes you a good day".
The decoration and layout in the hall have not changed from before, and there is not much water.
Since it's a weekend and Valentine's Day, there is no one else in the Ministry of Magic except for the staff who need to be on duty and volunteer to work overtime.
After some inquiry, Conan and Emma went to the table under the "Security Check" sign, and on the other side of the table sat a wizard in peacock blue robes.
Perhaps because of the scarcity of visitors today, the wizard sat lazily in his chair, reading the restaurant profile in the Daily Prophet.
Emma, who was acting as an interpreter, walked up to the wizard and said to him, "Hello, we have come to visit Mr. Amos Diggory, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. ”
The wizard glanced at the two of them and said lazily, "Come over here." ”
Emma pulled Conan, who pretended not to understand English, to the wizard, who held up a long, thin golden security device and swept it from top to bottom in front of and behind the two of them.
Emma clenched Conan's hand a little nervously, and Conan gently squeezed it back, and said to her in a whisper: "Don't worry, he can check it out and count me as losing." ”
What Emma feared didn't happen, and the wizard put the security scanner back on the table without noticing anything out of the ordinary.
"Wand." The wizard said as he reached in front of the two of them.
Emma pulled out her wand and said "wand" to Conan in Japanese.
So Conan also took out his horse monkey staff and handed it to the wizard with both hands.
The wizard threw each of his wands on a wand detector, and the machine began to vibrate slightly.
Soon after, the wand's results were printed on a narrow parchment strip.
"Fourteen inches, vine wood, the core of the cane is the dragon's heart cord, used for nine years. Is that right? The wizard asked, looking at the test results of Emma's wand.
"Yes." Emma replied.
Emma's wand today is a French-made wand provided by Conan, and it is about the same length, material, and core as the wand she usually uses.
"Eleven inches, Sakuragi, the hair of an unknown magical beast with a staff core. Sixteen years of use? The wizard looked at the other parchment note in his hand and looked at Conan with a strange look.
Emma explained to Conan, "This is a guest from Japan, and they started attending magic school at the age of seven. I've heard him mention that his wand was made by Shu Yunwen, a famous Japanese wand maker, and that the core of the wand was made from the hair of a magical animal called Mermaid Wai. ”
The wizard pretended to understand, and poked the parchment note on a small brass nail, and as he returned the wand to them, he said, "I've seen a lot of wand materials from the East in the last few years, and that's not the strangest thing. Last year, a wizard, also from the East, said that the core of his wand was almost taken by his mother to make soup. ”
Conan took his wand and bowed to the wizard in thanks. Emma didn't translate, but the wizard knew he was thanking him.
Conan and Emma left security and walked to the elevator hall, where there were more than two dozen elevators blocked by refined golden fence doors.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them "magic ladders".
Conan and Emma stepped into an empty elevator and went straight to the fifth floor, the Division of International Magical Cooperation.
The two easily found the office of the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.
