080 Unreliable Gilderoy Lockhart
The Wizarding Congress of the United States is the main governing body of the wizarding world in the United States. Its top leader is the president of the Magical Congress of the United States. Unlike the U.S. Congress in the No-Maj world, which is divided into a House of Representatives and a Senate, the U.S. Magical Congress has a unicameral system.
(Same as Muggles, American wizards like to call people who can't magic No-Majs...) Chicken... )
It was established in 1693, just in time for the enactment of the International Secrets Act. A century before the founding of the U.S. Congress.
Although known as the Magical Congress of the United States, its members include representatives of the entire North American wizarding community. That is, the entire Magical Congress of America governs all wizards in North America.
With the golden sign of Gilderoy Lockhart, William was not questioned by the Aurors on duty when he entered the halls of Congress.
He, the demon king prophesied by Erickson, stood on the marble floor of the Congress Hall in this way.
Looking up at the sky towering overhead, William asked Gilderoy Lockhart, who was next to him as he was negotiating with a receptionist.
"Lord Lockhart, where are we going first?"
"We're going to the Auror office. The system here is too backward, and there is no special department for complaints, and you have to go to the department of the respondent to find their leaders. Hum! ”
The receptionist was a middle-aged woman who also happened to be a fan of Lockhart's books. So Lockhart quickly got directions on how to get to the Auror office.
"Mr. Lockhart, what is it that wizard with a black peaked hat has entered the room? Why should he be mysterious? ”
Although the Wizarding Congress of the United States of America has asked wizards to stay away from the Muggle world, they use more Muggle technology than the British Ministry of Magic.
William and Lockhart were riding together in a clear glass elevator, carefully observing the layout of the surrounding buildings, and when he saw a wizard with unusual decorations and who did not fit in with other wizards, he asked Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Jerry, that's supposed to be a Silent Man, a wizard working in the Department of Mysteries. It's a bunch of mysterious guys, and few people know what they're doing. The symbol of that room is the ancient Lunn, which means time. ”
Gilderoy Lockhart was now preoccupied with how to accuse the man named Erin Kovarkis for his crimes. But hearing William's question, which was so intensely curious, he patiently explained.
Time... Looks like that's my goal...
William's eyes shone with a strange light, and he thought secretly in his heart. Then he looked up at Lockhart and thanked him.
"Mr. Lockhart is very knowledgeable. When am I going to be like you? ”
"Haha, Jerry, you don't have to worry about this, as long as you work as hard as I do, you will definitely become a good wizard. Alright, the Auror office has arrived. ”
Lockhart patted William on the top of his head, and when he saw the elevator door open, he straightened his collar and walked out with William.
"Hmm..."
Just a few steps away, William suddenly stood in place with his hands on his stomach, showing a painful expression, and hunched over.
"What's wrong, Jerry? Where is it uncomfortable? ”
Seeing that William hadn't followed, Lockhart looked back at William. Noticing that his face was in pain, he asked with concern.
"Lord Lockhart, I might have to go to the toilet... I'm sorry, I can't follow you into the Auror office. ”
William said bitterly with a pale face.
"Well, then you can go quickly. What follows is not what a child should see. Remember not to run around! ”
When Lockhart heard this, he understood that William might have eaten a bad stomach. I thought about it again if I complained to Erin Kovalkis in the Auror office and was rejected by her leader.
His embarrassing appearance is not easy to be seen by this young loyal fan. So he sent William to the bathroom quickly.
"Yes, Lord Lockhart. I'll be waiting outside for you to defeat the Impudent Wizard and return triumphantly. ”
With Lockhart's consent, William hurriedly ran to the corridor behind him, found a corner and saw that there was no one inside, and there happened to be a small door above the door marked with three big words in the bathroom, and ran in quickly.
He looked around, listened carefully to the movements, and when he noticed that there was no one in the bathroom, he quickly pulled out a metal box from his backpack.
"Mark One Activated!"
With a command as low as a mosquito's voice, he blurted out from William's mouth. The metal box he held in both hands disintegrated into countless strands of silver nanobots, quickly enveloping William.
"Mark One is pleased to serve Mr. William."
In a few seconds, a one-meter-eight tall red and gold robot appeared in the bathroom.
"Start stealth and magic anti-reconnaissance mode!"
With William's order, the figure of Mark One disappeared into the bathroom as if it had never been seen before.
"Tell me it's Luenwen's 'time', hehe. That's obviously the meaning of 'love'. Obviously, he used to be a high-achieving student in Ravenclaw, why is he so pulled now. ”
Just now, after William heard Lockhart tell him that the room that the Silent Man had entered was a room about time research, he knew that Lockhart was an unreliable liar.
When he learned that he had come to the world of Harry Potter as a child, he began to study the occult of the world. Having memories of his past life, he knew that the magic of the wizarding world also involved the ancient rune script, so he began to collect information about luwen from all over Europe.
So after Lockhart described Luvin as "time", which represents "love", he knew that Lockhart had no use value.
If you want to find out where the time turner is located, you'll have to do it yourself.
Anyway, he's now infiltrated the Capitol with Lockhart, and can explore the mysterious wizarding governing body in the open.
But with his childish appearance, it is easy for him to attract the attention of the wizards who work here. So he pretended to have a bad stomach, went to the bathroom and took out the Mark 1 mecha, and used the stealth and magic anti-reconnaissance capabilities on the mecha to achieve his goals.
"I have to say that American wizards are better dressed than British wizards. Tut-tut, what a lot of beautiful big sisters. ”
William walked towards the floor he had just seen labeled "Love", observing the wizards around him. I found that all the wizards here were very fashionable, especially the wizards who were no worse than the young girls in the outside world.
"The United States is really more developed than the United Kingdom... If it weren't for the fact that I knew it was the nineties of the 20th century. I thought the British wizarding world was still in the early 20th century.
It seems that they underestimate the American wizarding world, and their development level has thrown off the British wizarding world more than a dozen streets. ”
William thought to himself as he looked at the very modern buildings around him and some magical tools he didn't recognize.
The fact that the Magical Congress of the United States is so modern shows that they are open-minded and have not completely separated themselves from the Muggle world because of the Secrecy Act and the Rappaport Law.
On the contrary, because of their hostile relationship, they have absorbed a lot of advanced knowledge from the Muggle world and applied it to their own civilization.
