Chapter II: Muggle Liaison Offices

After scraping his stomach and writing a meaty cover letter, the old and frail owl finally rested. Luo Cheng found some food in the house and fed it to the old owl.

The promotion and salary increase system provided Luo Cheng with an orphan status, yes, his parents in this world were Muggles, and he died one after another because of illness, and he had no other immediate family members. According to his parents' will, they paid for Luo Cheng's boarding in an orphanage with the rent of this small apartment in London, so that Luo Cheng did not have to worry about being abused by his mother, and he did not have to pretend to be a good child and wait to be adopted by an unknown family. Luo Cheng lived in an orphanage until he attended Hogwarts, and it was only when he officially enrolled that he moved into the small apartment that his parents had purchased in London.

Because he has no family, Luo Cheng has been living at Hogwarts for the past five years, and only returns here during the summer vacation. Because of Luo Cheng's orphanage, he has always lived on school subsidies, so he now only has 15 silver sike and a handful of copper nat in his pocket.

Luo Cheng stuffed the cover letter into an envelope and tied it to the owl's right leg, and then stuffed two copper nats into the small leash on its left leg - the transcript was paid, and one nat had to be paid. Now I have to send another letter to the Ministry of Magic, and I have to pay another nat.

"Hey man! Help me get this letter to the Muggle Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic, thank you! ”

The old owl chirped feebly, meaning yes, and then fluttered its wings with great difficulty, and staggered away.

In the next few days, all Luo Cheng could do was wait and work.

Because of the economic depression, Luo Cheng couldn't rent out this small apartment when he was studying at Hogwarts. So now in order to support himself, Luo Cheng has to find some odd jobs such as running errands in London.

Finally, in the early morning five days later, when the hungry Luo Cheng got up to prepare for a new day of migrant work, there was a knock on the door of the apartment.

Luo Cheng opened the door and found that the person who came was a tall, bald, dark-skinned wizard with a golden earring on his left ear.

"Hello, I think you are Luo Cheng."

The wizard has a deep, slow voice that seems to have a magical power that calms people down.

"I'm Kingsley Shackle, and I'm part of the Auror Office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. The Head of the Muggle Liaison told me that she needed to interview a new Muggle Liaison, but the Muggle Liaison, who was too young to come to the Ministry. So hopefully I can drop by with him. ”

Luo Cheng pretended to be a flattered big child, he looked so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hand.

"Oh! Oh my God, you're an Auror! To be honest, my dream as a kid was to be an Auror, but with my O.W.Ls grades, this dream must have come to an end. ”

"Kid, the work of the Ministry of Magic is not high, but the work of the Muggle Liaison Office is just as important. If you don't mind, we're ready to go now. ”

Kingsley Shackel is a master of dealing with people, and he doesn't say anything about it. Luo Cheng had nothing to do, and he directly said that he could set off immediately.

When the two of them came to the door, it was still cloudy, and the early morning in London was always a little chilly.

"You don't usually walk to work, Mr. Shackle."

As the two walked around the square, Luo Cheng asked.

"I'm usually apparitional." "Not for your age, and I've recently taken on a special job in the field, and I'm going to work in a non-magical way. ”

Kingsley Shackle's tone is very strict, but for Luo Cheng, who is familiar with the plot, the kind of foreign work that requires non-magical means to go to work is naturally no secret. After the news of Voldemort's resurrection was completely exposed during the Ministry of Magic War, Kingsley Shackle once lurked in the office of the trusted Muggle Prime Minister to do secretarial work, and he was extremely efficient, worthy of two people.

Kingsley Shackle's ability to work so skillfully is naturally not based on magic alone. Luo Cheng believed that an elite Auror like Kingsley Shackel had probably beaten many Muggle Prime Ministers.

Now there is no one on the dilapidated streets, and the economic depression makes it look very deserted, but when Luo Cheng and Kingsley Shackle walked into the shabby and dilapidated subway station, it was already crowded with migrant workers who went to work in the morning, and it was not easy to work!

Kingsley Shacklele bought tickets for the Underground from a sleepy-eyed caretaker, and the Tube took them to central London. They got off the train at a stop in central London and were crowded forward until they finally came to a wide street.

"Follow me, London is not at peace right now."

Together, the two turned into a fork in the road and came to a desolate side street. There are only a few run-down-looking offices and a dirty tavern.

"We're here."

Kingsley Shackle pointed to a dilapidated red telephone booth with several pieces of glass missing, clinging to a smeared wall.

"You go in first."

Luo Cheng walked in, and Kingsley Shacklele also squeezed in, closing the door with his backhand. The tall Kingsley Shacklele squeezed Luo Cheng to the phone.

This is really a man on top of a man!

Kingsley Shacklele picked up the phone through Luo Cheng and looked at the dial pad.

“6,2,4,4,2……”

Luo Cheng recorded the string of numbers psychologically.

A woman's indifferent voice rang out around them.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and what to do.

"I'm Kingsley Shackle, the Auror Office of the Magical Law Enforcement Division. This time, the head of the Muggle Liaison Office, Bertha Jorkins, asked him to come for an interview. ”

Bertha Jorkins? Luo Cheng remembered this woman, because she was incomprehensible and forgetful, she was said to have been driven from one department to another, and finally was taken to Voldemort by Wormtail and tortured to death. It seems that she is still living a good life, and she is still the head of the Muggle Liaison Office.

"Thank you." The woman's cold voice said, "Guest, please pick up the badge and pin it in front of your clothes." ”

A square silver badge slid out of the phone's coin slot, which read: Luo Cheng, interview. He pinned the badge to his chest and his clothes, and the woman's voice rang out again.

"Guests of the Ministry of Magic, you will need to be checked 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 shuddered, and they slowly sank into the ground. From Luo Cheng's point of view, the sidewalk outside the phone booth glass rose higher and higher, and finally there was darkness above their heads, only the monotonous, harsh grinding sound of the phone booth when it descended.

"I often advise them to improve the environment of the magic elevator, at least to add some lights inside."

Kingsley Shacklele was a man of all faces, so it's no wonder he was able to get along and take over as Minister of Magic.
