Chapter 2 Control of the Ministry of Magic (New Books for Collection!) )

On the same day that Anthony received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts.

10 Downing Street also staged a fantasy play. In the prime minister's office, a green fire suddenly ignited in the fireplace, which had been used only as a decoration, and then a man in a black robe, with a polite head and a tough face, emerged from the fireplace.

It was a scene that suddenly happened behind Mr. Huck and almost scared him out of a heart attack, but luckily, Mr. Huck was very healthy and he was only slightly frightened.

Someone called himself: Barty Crouch Sr. Director of the Department of International Magical Communication, British Ministry of Magic.

Today's visit is for two purposes, one of which is to inform the Muggle Prime Minister of the existence of the wizarding world. Second, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, a professor from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will come to Downing Street to pick up a special new student.

After that, he explained some trivial things, and when he left, Barty Crouch also whispered: Muggle prime ministers are really fast.

Then he 'banged' directly in front of the three Muggles, and the apparition disappeared in place.

...

Sorcerer? Magic? Professor!

With such a strange scene in front of them, the shocked triumvirate was speechless.

Several of them opened their mouths and babbled, pointing to the place where the self-proclaimed wizard had just disappeared, and glared at each other with teeth and claws.

It wasn't until a hurried bell rang that the three who were performing the mime were interrupted.

Mr. Huck picked up the phone at once, and on the other end of the line was the butler of Windsor Castle, who was succinct and said only one thing.

Prince Anthony will visit Mr. Prime Minister tomorrow.

I hope that the Prime Minister will make the invitation official.

When he hung up, the butler inexplicably spit out one word: Wizard.

So, there was a scene in Whitehall.

At first, Anthony was shocked and puzzled that he was a wizard.

Because nothing strange has ever happened around him.

It is known that when a young wizard is seven or eight years old, there will be a period of magical riots, during which some strange things will happen around him, such as making certain objects float, or making objects disappear, spontaneously combusting, or something.

But for so many years, Anthony has never had anything around him that could make him look in the direction of a wizard.

It wasn't until he met with Mr. Huck that the British Prime Minister wanted him to demonstrate it that Anthony showed his magical talents for the first time.

I saw him use his finger as a wand, pointing to the papers piled up on Mr. Huck's desk, and silently recited the classic spell in his heart: "Yuga Dim Leviosa!" ”

In the next second, not only those documents, but the entire desk slowly floated. It's like a fish swimming in the sea, playing around as you like.

Anthony's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, this time he didn't disguise, he was really shocked.

Casting spells without a wand, he can cast spells without a wand?

Forehead... No...

He's a wizard!

And it's still a genius visible to the naked eye!

Oh my God!

At this scene, all four people in the prime minister's office sighed.

...

After that, Anthony stayed in Whitehall all afternoon, and he didn't return to the castle, because tomorrow another professor would come over, and according to his impression of the HP story, Hogwarts would send a professor to inform and explain the wizarding world to all Muggle wizards, and he didn't know that he would meet that professor...

The days in Whitehall were not as boring as Anthony believed.

After the afternoon tea, the prime minister's office gradually became lively. The top of the government is constantly coming in and out.

The Political Security Department, the Prime Minister's Parliamentary Undersecretary, and the Director of MI5 left the Prime Minister's office in a hurry.

Then came the Secretaries of Defense, Health and Social Work, Education, Housing, Community and Local Government.

Towards dinner, he witnessed a list being compiled from scratch and delivered to the Prime Minister's table.

The action was far faster than he could have imagined.

It is a compilation of information on all 11-year-olds in the British Isles.

There are about tens of thousands of people.

From London to the localities, in alphabetical order.

Anthony looked curiously at the stack of lists on his desk. Mr. Huck did not shy away from it, but generously gave him a share.

Perhaps for Mr. Prime Minister, among these people there may be classmates of His Royal Highness the Prince in the future. Those are all talents valued by the country.

Anthony, who was bored in the office, immediately opened the thick list, and on the first page, the London area, only two conspicuous names appeared on the page.

Harry Potter: 4 Privet Road, Little Whinging, Surrey.

Hermione Granger...

After seeing the list, Anthony had no doubt that if they were given a little time, the agents would definitely be able to tell from the tens of thousands of eleven-year-olds that they were little wizards.

After all, Muggle-born wizards almost always attract the attention of others at the age of magical explosions, in the case of Harry Potter, MI5 (MI5) only needs to investigate his previous school a little to discover the magical deeds of Harry Potter, for example, he once flew to the top of the school in a garbage dump in order to escape chase. He once made the teacher's wig cover turn blue and was warned by the school, etc.

Looking at this list, Anthony couldn't help but feel the executive power of civil servants, when the prime minister and the cabinet secretary reached an agreement, this exaggerated efficiency can throw off the Ministry of Magic a few streets.

The easiest way to put in front of MI5 now is to send someone to keep an eye on these children, as long as the school starts in September, and investigate the whereabouts of those children a little, you can roughly determine that those are little wizards and those are ordinary people.

The government is moving fast! Anthony Octavia sensed that Mr. Huck seemed to be very interested in the Ministry of Magic.

No, it's not just him.

Even Sir Humphrey seems to be enthusiastic about it.

They seem to be planning to cultivate the power of the government in the wizarding world, and then subvert the Ministry of Magic and bring the British wizarding world under the control of the central government!

?

This... I have to say it's a terrible thought. But interesting, isn't it?

In the Prime Minister's office, looking at Mr. Huck who was processing documents quickly, like a chicken blood, Anthony couldn't help asking: "Sir! Are you trying to clash with the wizarding world? ”

Sitting on the chair at the back of the long table, Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly and asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Mr. Huck gradually slowed down the pen in his hand, then shook his head, looked at him, and said, "Of course it's not Your Highness, why should we have a conflict with them?" In this era of seeking common ground while reserving differences, we need to focus on consensus. ”

"I have always made it my duty to benefit my country, and what we can feel strongly about the UK is love and pride in her. But they (wizards) need to know the power of England, and in this land, we are all ministers of the Queen, aren't we? ”

Anthony looked at the prime minister with a firm look and a serious expression rather speechlessly.

Scold!

Really, when I can't hear it?

You just want to control the Ministry of Magic!
