Chapter 71: 071 Pick
The second level of the British Ministry of Magic, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest department of the Ministry of Magic, and there are many subordinate departments scattered on the floor: the Auror Office, the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items, the Office of Detection and Collection of Counterfeit Defense Charms and Protective Equipment, the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, the Wizengamot Governing Agency, etc., and Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, is the head of the Division for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items.
The UK station of the International Flyway Network is on this floor, close to the Auror office.
The Auror Office, also known as the Auror Headquarters, is an open office area divided into a number of cubicles, each of which belongs to an Auror, many of whom stand, sit, or talk to each other doing their own thing. The partitions around them were plastered with pictures of dark wizards, and newspaper materials were cluttered.
At this moment, the Aurors stopped what they were doing, and looked at the nearby fireplace with their eyes, watching a man and two women walk out of the fireplace, showing curiosity and doubt, and whispering to each other.
The three of them were Hu Qing, Queenie and Tina who came from the United States, Tina had an uneasy look on her face, and Hu Qing and Queenie looked around with interest. A male Auror stared at Queenie, who jerked over, and the man looked stunned and quickly looked away.
"Don't tease people." Hu Qing said with a smile.
Queenie smiled charmingly, "It's always uncontrollable...... There are a lot of people here, their thoughts are very confused, suspicious, curious, surprised, and the first time the man saw me......"
"Please, don't show off your charms, I've experienced it."
A tall, thin-faced young man stood up and walked over to the three of them, "Hey, hello, Mr. Hu. ”
Hu Qing, Tina, and Queenie's attention was attracted by him, and their expressions became suspicious, Hu Qing shook hands with him, "I'm sorry, I may have made a mistake, you and Newt ......"
"I am Newt's brother, Theseus Scamander."
"The war hero?" Tina asked in surprise.
Theseus nodded and said to Hu Qing, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else...... This fireplace is used by the representatives of the International Federation of Wizards, and Mr. Hu is not one of them, so what are you doing in the UK? ”
"You guessed it, I'm here to visit Newt." Seeing that Theseus still had a skeptical look on his face, Hu Qing said lightly: "If you don't believe it, you can personally ask the chairman of the Magical Congress of the United States Piquelli for verification, just a second ago, she enthusiastically sent us into the fireplace." ”
Queenie almost laughed, and the worried Tina couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, Piquelli was definitely not enthusiastic, and Tina didn't dare to look at His Excellency's face at that time.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just doing my business......"
"Can we go?"
"Of course, Newt was treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries, and he was under a spell and not seriously injured......"
Hearing this, Tina breathed a sigh of relief, and Hu Qing said: "Thank you for informing us in advance, we saw the news of his attack on the international edition of the Daily Prophet, and we were very worried, so it's okay for him to be fine." Mr. Scamander, don't bother you, let's go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. ”
"Please wait a minute." Theseus called out to the three of them, "This fireplace is connected to the international network, you need to use other Floo networks to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, please come with me." ”
Theseus led the three to the other fireplace and said, "Go over yourselves, I'm still in business." ”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Scamander."
Hu Qing, Queenie, and Tina grabbed the powder and threw it into the fireplace in turn, and appeared in the lobby of the St. Mungo's Hospital for the Injured and Wounded.
It is said to be a hall, but it is actually a crowded waiting room. Rows of witches and witches sat on rickety wooden chairs, some looking normal, reading the latest Daily Prophet, others with horrible deformities not much different from those of ordinary hospital waiting rooms, except for the strange symptoms of patients, such as one patient with an extra hand, and another patient spitting steam.
Wizards and wizards in green robes walked up and down the waiting list, asking questions about the situation and taking notes on their clipboards.
Hu Qing found a badge embroidered on their chests: a wand and a cross made of bones.
"They're doctors...... Queenie whispered to Hu Qing and Tina, "I know where Newt is, come with me." ”
She is a natural dementor who can read other people's thoughts and quickly determine Newt's location.
On the first floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses is the Artifact Accident Department, which treats magical injuries caused by crucible explosions, wand misfire, broom collisions, and more.
There is an "information desk" in the corner of the first floor, and if you don't know which department to go to, can't speak normally, or can't remember why you came, the receptionist will be impatient to help.
On the second floor is the Biological Injury Section, which treats all kinds of magical creatures such as stings, burns, and stabs.
On the third floor is the Department of Strange Bacterial Infections, which mainly treats infectious diseases such as dragon pox, vanishing disease, and lymphatic mycitis. Queenie and Tina's parents died of dragon pox.
On the fourth floor is the Department of Pharmacy and Plant Poisoning, which treats rashes, nausea, laughter and other diseases.
The fifth floor is the Spell Damage Division, which deals with damage caused by spells that can't be removed, spells that are used incorrectly, and other spells.
On the sixth floor is a tea room and shop, where the families of wizards who come to visit the sick can buy some visitation items on the sixth floor.
Newt's ward was in the Spell Damage Unit on the fifth floor, and they made their way to the fifth floor and walked through a narrow corridor lined with portraits of famous healers, crystal bubbles with candles floating on the ceiling, looking like giant soap bubbles, and wizards in green robes coming in and out of each doorway.
"That ward......" Queenie pointed to the second ward on her right, looking at Tina with a strange and worried expression, "I don't think we're here at the right time......
"Rita!"
A familiar voice came from the hospital room, and then Hu Qing, Queenie, and Tina saw a young witch walk out of the hospital room, and Newt in a hospital gown chased him out.
Newt had a stunned look on his face, Tina glanced at him, her gaze slowly fell on Rita Lestrange, she recognized her almost immediately, Newt had a picture of her in the box, and he left Hogwarts because of her.
"Are you...... Mr. Hu? Rita asked Hu Qing.
"I'm Hu Qing, hey, Newt, I haven't seen you for more than a month, you don't know us?" Hu Qing greeted with a smile.
"Merlin is on top, why are you here?" Newt clumsily showed a hint of excitement as he walked past Rita and looked at Tina a little nervously.
"You ......"
"You ......"
Tina smiled sheepishly, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, don't worry, it's okay......" Newt and Tina are not good at expressing emotions, but at this moment, Newt suddenly got his senses.
"She's Rita...... Will be engaged to me Theseus soon......"
