Chapter 32: Mr. Scamander, You're Arrested!
Under the leadership of Captain Carlos, the Mayflower caught a lot of flying fish, and dinner became ...... Flying fish noodles, Bermuda method.
Bermuda is known around the world as a relay station for navigation and aviation, but it is more famous for paranormal phenomena and disappearances.
The reason is simple, this sea area is inhabited by a large number of magical creatures, including but not limited to various sea snakes and water monsters.
There are also sea snakes and water monsters in other seas, why aren't they so famous?
Because Bermuda is under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, but it is isolated overseas, far from Britain, and only one Ministry of Magic official is stationed.
It is said to be a division, but in fact it does not even have an office establishment.
With a shortage of wizards and a reluctance to intervene in the Wizarding Congress of the United States, all kinds of bizarre events are frequent, and even the work of erasing Muggle memories cannot be done.
However, it has been much better in recent years, because the American Magic Kingdom has taken the initiative to manage this area, and it has not bothered the British at all.
With the rise of Grindelwald and Voldemort, and the outbreak of two wizarding wars in Europe, the British wizarding world has long been less powerful than before, and it does not have the ability to dictate to the Wizarding Congress of the United States.
In addition to seriously protesting to the International Federation of Wizards, Fudge, the minister, could only scold a few words in his office, "Lao Tzu was finally beaten by his son", and he had a good time.
The night was uneventful, and the next morning, the Mayflower headed straight for New York.
As the three-masted ship sailed into the mouth of the Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty appeared in front of everyone:
The goddess wears a radiant crown with her lips closed, a loose Roman robe, a torch in her right hand, and a bookboard symbolizing the American Declaration of Independence in her left hand.
As New York's most famous landmark, the world's largest bronze statue...... Looking at the sea, I always feel that she is only a little taller than the Tower of London in England.
However, as the Mayflower approached the harbor, the statue became more and more terrifying.
The shadow of the statue obscured the sky, and Rove stood on the deck with Fleur and Gabrielle, who had to hold their heads high to see the head of the goddess.
It's hard to imagine that such a huge statue was once invisible by a wizard with an illusion charm.
The show took place in 1983 when the wizard David Copperfield, as a magician, performed magic tricks on Muggles, using magic to disappear the Statue of Liberty from the audience.
Of course, he was also imprisoned for a period of time by the Magical Congress of the United States for violating the law of secrecy.
At this point, the Mayflower moved away from the Muggle ships and into a large waterway, a wide green waterway that stretched straight to a wizarding port.
As he arrives at the port of New York, Rove picks up his suitcase and says goodbye to the Delacour family.
Only Gabrielle didn't speak, hiding behind Fleur.
Last night, when she heard that Rove was going to disembark in New York and would not go to Hawaii with them, Gabrielle didn't speak all night.
Rov walked up to Gabrielle, crouched down, looked at the girl, and asked softly, "What's wrong, still angry?"
The little girl in the white dress said sullenly, "Not angry."
"Then why don't you say goodbye to me?"
Gabrielle looked like she was about to cry. "Rov, I want you to come with us to Hawaii."
"And where Hawaii ends?" Rove asked softly, "You have to separate, don't you?"
Gabrielle, no friend can stay on the same ship forever, there will always be someone who gets off the ship first, and you will always make new friends."
The little girl didn't speak, just lowered her head and looked at her toes.
"Gabrielle, after we parted, we didn't see each other again." Rove smiled, "You'll come to see me at the Quidditch World Cup next year in England, right?"
Gabrielle didn't speak, she reached out and wiped her tears.
Rove was surprised, "Hey, don't you want to see me again next year?"
The little girl wrinkled her pretty little face, "I'm busy grieving!"
Rove laughed
Getting up, he rubbed Gabrielle's hair, stared at the little girl, and said, "I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too!" Gabrielle ran to Rove, kissed him the cheek, and then leaned into the boy's ear and whispered:
"When I grow up...... That witch named Shirley is old, you fire her, and I'll be your assistant!"
「……」
Rove stood up, he looked at Fleur again, held out his hand and smiled, "I should go."
Fleur took Rove's hand, and she suddenly stepped forward and hugged him gently.
"Thank you, Rove...... Save my sister, take care of yourself, remember to write to me."
Rove was a little caught off guard, but he quickly calmed down, and his eyes were clear, "Well, Fleur, you are the same, stay safe."
The two let go of each other, and Fleur's face turned red and she glanced at the boy with some embarrassment.
Rolf carried the black suitcase and turned away from the Mayflower.
Carlos sat in the captain's room and breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the blonde boy step out of the boat from a distance.
"Finally sent the most dangerous guy, alas...... Lao Tzu has been shipping for 30 years, and it is the first time he is so frightened.
I'll never pull a wizard with magical beasts again."
His heart is too fragile to stand it!
But it was safe to do so, and he sent Skander to the Wizarding Congress again, and he went on vacation himself, just in time to recuperate for a while.
Just then, the first mate rushed in, and he shouted impatiently, "Something is wrong with the captain!"
"What's wrong? In such a hurry?" Carlos frowned and said, "You lost the game again? Which team is pressing?"
"The Mexican Quidditch team I pressed won, not ...... I mean......" First Officer took a deep breath and said:
"Lady Helen, she's arrived, but I haven't seen her get off the boat, I just knocked on the door, and found no one...... She seems to be missing."
「……」
……
……
Rove stepped down the Mayflower briskly and walked along the road.
In the distance, a group of wizards from the Magical Congress of America stopped the checkpoint, checking passports and luggage.
Rove was already battle-hardened, so he walked slowly over with his black box in his hand.
At this moment, a tall girl suddenly walked in the distance.
She was wearing a standard Muggle female police uniform, the brim of the police hat was pulled down, covering most of her face, and the most attractive pair of slender legs against the sky were wrapped in seductive black silk.
Rove glanced at the black silk and beautiful legs...... Ahh
The policewoman was so skillful that she kicked Rove in the calf, twisted his arm, removed the handcuffs from her waist, and handcuffed his wrists.
Rove looked confused, looking at it this year...... Is it also illegal to have a police badge?
"Mr. Rove Scamander, you are suspected of illegally carrying dangerous magical creatures...... You're now under arrest by the American Aurors."
「……」
