Chapter 657: Dancing under the pines and cypresses

In England, there is such a group of ordinary people who pay attention to the wizarding world all the time, and they are the Muggle parents of some students at Hogwarts.

Now that all of these families have joined the Muggle Parents Mutual Aid Association, parents can get news from the QQ group of the Mutual Aid Society whenever there is any disturbance in the wizarding world.

With the common background brought by the children and the convenient and fast way to chat online, these parents became familiar with each other in the chat group.

First of all, offline gatherings in various regions, and then networking between various industries, parents in the society can explore the convenience brought by Internet groups. Later, two Hogwarts students from single-parent families even learned from letters brought by the owl over breakfast that they had changed from lovers to brother and sister.

For these parents, Hogsmeade is their second most familiar place in the wizarding world.

Thanks to the Muggle Parents Society, almost all of its members went to the Hogsmeade New Year's Market before Christmas last year. It was there that they discovered for the first time that wizards and ordinary people could live together in such close proximity.

Hogsmeade also became the second place they came into contact with the wizarding world after Diagon Alley.

Although parents had heard of the war in the wizarding world and were extremely concerned about it, the news of Hogsmeade's almost total destruction in one night spread in the various chat groups of the mutual aid society, and the parents immediately exploded.

Under the operation of several parents of opposition Conservative MPs, a joint letter signed by all parents was delivered to Prime Minister Tony Blair's desk at 10 Downing Street.

At the Prime Minister's Question in the House of Commons on Wednesday, some Conservative MPs challenged Blair over the matter.

Hogsmeade has been an integral part of my Great Britain since ancient times, and now that the people there are slaughtered, you as Prime Minister are left alone.

Even within the ruling Labour Party, many MPs have complained about the matter.

Immediately afterwards, more and more things about the wizarding world were lifted out by Conservative MPs. From the collapse of Brockdale Bridge a few years ago, to the recent zombie incidents, and the ordinary people killed by the Death Eaters during this period, Conservative MPs have data that is so accurate that Blair is terrified.

If it had been before, perhaps the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic would have come over and prepared to cast the Oblivion Charm on the councilors, and then they would have been beaten up by the bells. But now that the Ministry of Magic can't protect itself, they don't have the energy to take care of it.

For Conservative MPs, a group of medieval antiques made a secrecy law that is not signed by the King of England is a piece of paper to wipe their butts. How can a piece of waste paper be important to kick the current prime minister out of his horse and then come to power and form a cabinet himself?

During today's half-hour Prime Minister's questioning, Conservative MPs spent nearly twenty minutes asking the Prime Minister questions about the wars in the wizarding world and the involvement of ordinary people.

At this time, Blair's face stinked no more, because every prime minister's question was broadcast live to the whole of Britain through the BBC. That is to say, outside the Palace of Westminster, countless ordinary British people have heard Conservative MPs question the Prime Minister about the destruction of Hogsmeade, which appears many times in the popular fantasy "The Biography of Dumbledore", and a large number of evil ** that have happened in recent years that have not been followed or the government has obscured the past.

At this time, the ordinary people were confused, and their first thought was whether the parliamentarian had drunk too much, and actually used the plot in the House of Commons to challenge the prime minister. If you don't believe it, the prime minister's face on TV is already so stinky that he wants to hit someone.

When the parliamentarian finished asking questions, the voice of the prime minister came from the TV: "After the Hogsmeade "26 bombing" incident, the British government attached great importance to it. I immediately issued important instructions to organize all rescue forces, to organize and carry out relief work immediately, to further improve the resettlement of refugees and the reconstruction of the devastated areas, and to prevent further deterioration of the situation of the people of Hogsmeade. At the moment, the mood of the refugees in Hogsmeade is stable. ”

At this time, the people in front of the TV said that I should go, I heard that Di Ni was going to make a movie about "The Biography of Dumbledore" and an animated film of the fan comic "Hogwarts Tea Time". In this evil capitalism, if the capitalists can sell the rope that hangs themselves for profit, it is not impossible to insert advertisements in the parliament. Alas, this Great Britain eats jujube pills.

It is no wonder that Blair followed the Conservative MPs on this issue, and he heard from the detailed data in the other party's questions that there must be someone with great energy behind the other party to support them. Since the other party did not hesitate to leak the news of the wizarding world in order to oust himself, then don't blame himself for leaking the heavenly secret together in order to keep his position.

Today's big news about the Prime Minister's inquiry in the British House of Commons instantly swept the whole world, and the Prime Minister's office was full of calls requesting interviews. Reporters from major Western media rushed to the gate of 10 Downing Street in an attempt to compete with Hong Kong reporters who had arrived first in the queue.

Woolworth Building, New York, USA. The seat of the Magical Congress of the United States. In the hall on the first floor, the wizards of the United States watched in horror as the hands of the magically exposed level clock hanging above the hall slowly but surely slipped above the highest level, "emergency".

On the top floor of the Witches Building, Samuel G. Korhaug, president of the Witchcraft Congress of the United States, stood in front of the office window with a cigar in his mouth and said to New York outside the window: "This day has finally arrived." ”

Then he said to the secretary next to him, "Help me contact Mr. Clinton in the White House, we need to have a good talk." ”

On this day, something like this is happening in most countries.

On the general public's side, the Internet, which has just emerged in the last two years, has allowed people to sit in front of a computer and discuss issues from Britain with the rest of the world.

No matter what period it is, there is always no shortage of "uncle party" on the Internet.

"My uncle, a surgeon who works in a private hospital in London, said that many years ago he had a pig's tail removed for a little fat man. If there really is magic in this world, then it is not surprising that the fat man's ass has a pig's tail on it. ”

"My uncle said he saw a car flying in the sky six years ago, and the family thought he had drunk too much, but now it looks like he didn't drink too much."

"My uncle got drunk one day and he said that the panda at the London Zoo was actually human."

"My uncle just called me and told me that my aunt was a wizard, and now my lovely cousin goes to that Hogwarts school."

"Upstairs, you're my brother from today onwards."

However, it was the traditional media of ordinary people themselves that detonated this incident.

The Sun published news about Hogsmeade from wizarding media such as the Daily Prophet on Thursday.

As a newspaper known for its gossip and three-page Oh Girl, The Sun has a huge readership among the grassroots people.

The day after it began to publish news about the wizarding world, more than 100,000 people from all over Britain poured into the streets of London, and confused, angry, or excited people gathered in St. James's Park, between Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street, to demand an explanation from the British government.

The International Federation of Wizards had already blown up the pot by this time, and in the face of the situation gradually spiraling out of control, the president of the Federation, Babajid Akinbad, issued a sternly worded warning to the two British Ministries of Magic, asking them to deal with the problem properly.

However, neither Scrimgeour nor Malfoy paid any attention to him. Scrimgeour said he was too busy with disaster relief to be available, and Malfoy couldn't find anyone.

Seeing that the situation was developing irreversibly, Babajid Akinbad immediately submitted his resignation to the International Confederation of Wizards.

That night, Zhang Xu, who had changed his clothes, was strolling along the edge of St. James's Park with a man in a suit, and there were heated discussions from the crowd gathered in the park from time to time.

"You don't have a job for long." Zhang Xu said to the person beside him, "Have you decided to take this path?" ”

"The International Federation of Wizards is already a leaky ship, and not only me, but many people can see it. The Aurors International is out of order now, so I'd better withdraw early. Percy said, "And this is the best path for me." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xu nodded and said, "It's really suitable for you, because you are a natural politician." ”

Then Zhang Xu then asked: "But this time you cooperated with them, aren't you afraid that your family will be sad?" ”

Percy replied after a while, "I had convinced my mother that all she cared about now was when I would find a girlfriend and get married." ”

"I've got someone to tell you about that." Zhang Xu smiled evilly and said, "What do you think of the lady Ryan who appeared in Hogsmeade recently, her conditions are quite suitable for you in all aspects." If you are interested, I can arrange a wonderful encounter with you. ”

I don't know if I remembered that Zhang Xu was good at divination and marriage, Percy's face actually turned red. However, he quickly recovered, saying, "Now is not the time to talk about this, my main job now is to make tomorrow's speech." ”

"yes." Zhang Xu sighed, "After tomorrow, this world will be different. ”
