Chapter 7: The Queen (Collection!) Comments! Investment! It's autumn! )
The surrounding scene looks quite spectacular.
This made Harry panic for a while, because he was a little frightened by the fact that so many people had just appeared out of the tavern from his perspective, but he was relieved when he looked back at Hagrid.
It was probably the burly Hagrid who attracted the attention of these people.
Then he and Anthony had a brief chat before leaving.
And Anthony also got in the car and returned to Downing Street with Mr. Bond.
In Whitehall, Anthony carries his Humphrey. All the way to the door of the Prime Minister's office.
Berner was sitting at his desk, working on some papers.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and an iron cage was placed in front of his desk.
"Mr. Bernard, Humphrey will leave it to your care." So saying, he turned and walked upstairs towards the private house of the Prime Minister, where he was dying of hunger in the morning. I'll have to see if Mr. Prime Minister's personal chef prepares his lunch.
The little angel Berner, after hearing Humphrey's three words, subconsciously quickly got up and looked at the staircase, and after confirming that there was no Sir Humphrey there, he sat down again.
"His Highness has given his snowy owl a name, Humphrey." Mr. Bond followed, smiling.
"You mean, this one—" Berner pointed to the gray-white snowy owl, his face twitching, and he forced a smile as he reached out and touched the little head of the snowy owl. "Sir Humphrey?" Oh! It's not mainstream! ”
He was talking about the red feathers on the top of the snowy owl's head.
"Bernard!" Suddenly, a serious voice rang out.
Bernard hurriedly looked up, and after seeing the appearance of the person who came, his face was embarrassed. "Oh! Oh my God, ahem, Sir Humphrey. ”
Sir Humphrey, who he had in mind, was standing in front of him at this time.
...
What happened outside the prime minister's office was unknown to Anthony, who returned to the reception room after a brief lunch. Sit in your chair and flip through your first-grade textbook.
Standard Spell Beginner
He began to experiment with magic.
Originally, he was worried that the trace would reveal his location and that the Ministry of Magic would send him a warning or something, but after recalling that Professor McGonagall had not explicitly said that he could not use magic at this stage.
So he didn't have any psychological burden, and just started practicing spells.
Anyway, even if it is discovered.
For the first time.
It's probably just a verbal warning, not that serious.
With this in mind, he began to draw his wand with peace of mind.
Unlike the few spells in the movie, although it is only the first grade, this "Standard Spell Elementary" contains nine spells.
They are: Soften, Cut, Lockpick, Levitation, Locking, Repair, Fire, Knockback, and Wandlight.
As a beginner, Anthony started by picking the easiest spell exercises, such as the Illumination Charm and the Levitation Charm.
However, as he practiced, he soon discovered that for some reason, he was learning spells very quickly.
It was so exaggerated that he himself was a little surprised, such as the levitation charm, and he didn't mention the more impressive ones. But even the difficult spell like the Repair Charm, he could roughly master it in almost three or four times.
Could it be that this is your own golden finger?
After eleven years, he knows himself too well, he is really just an ordinary person, and there are no such things as 'dinging' in his head.
Maybe it's because I'm far more mature and stable than a normal little wizard?
I'm afraid Anthony will never understand this question!
...
Sitting in the reception room with Anthony at this time was Miss Dorothy Willé, Chief Political Adviser to the Prime Minister. She looked at the solemn child in the reception room, and the worldview that had been forged for decades in her heart was collapsing step by step. After Anthony repaired the broken vase for the third time.
Although she already knew about the existence of wizards from Bernard, it was one thing to know and another to see with her own eyes.
It's amazing. Dorothy was fascinated by this power.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as the two of them were immersed in the magical world of dreams, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
With a smile on his face, he nodded at Anthony and said, "Your Highness, the Queen's Line, you have to go to Buckingham Palace now." ”
"Okay, Berner, I know!"
With that, Anthony quickly got up, put away the wand in his hand, and followed Bernard out.
It seems that his great aunt has finally noticed that her little nephew is a wizard.
It is said that the Queen of England is the titular leader and believer of the Anglican Church (Anglican Church). In general, he is also a member of the Christians.
A wizard suddenly appeared in the house, and it always sounded a little strange.
But Anthony wasn't worried about being burned at the stake.
After all, the bishops of today are a bunch of 'modernists'. It's not like the fanatics of the Middle Ages.
The so-called 'modernists' simply mean that this group of people does not believe a word of the Bible at all.
Most of them are highly talented students who graduated from London, Cambridge, or even the London School of Economics and Political Science, Finance, or Classics. Of course, there are seminaries too. But as for their beliefs, that's all sorts.
After all, those who graduated from the London Theological Seminary still convert to *** religion! (laughs)
Of course, these people are definitely not atheists. They know more about religious rituals and customs than true believers.
After all...
Atheists don't get church stipends...
The Anglican Church, a giant 'enterprise' with an annual output value of nearly 2 billion pounds, people don't need bishops at all, people need 'managers'.
...
The motorcade to Buckingham Palace was slow, and the road was full of reporters who heard the news.
Because he wasn't the only one sitting in the car, but also our Prime Minister, Mr. Huck.
He must have been invited by the Queen to find out the situation, and of course it is not ruled out that Mr. Huck has come to try to sell his own grand plan to the Queen.
In short, he was in the same car as Mr. Prime Minister.
As the most important palace of the British royal family, Buckingham Palace is also located in Westminster.
It's just over half an hour away again.
When the convoy stopped in the square outside Buckingham Palace, everyone saw the British Emperor's flag fluttering directly above the palace.
This shows that the queen is still in the palace.
Led by the guards and housekeepers, many high-ranking government officials went to the reception room.
Anthony was different, he was directly taken by the butler Mr. Hobson to the Inner Palace Mansion to meet the queen.
The layout of the palace is cumbersome and huge, and if he is not led by a steward, he may get lost. Wandering around, I finally entered a very elegant room with huge crystal chandeliers, white and gold walls, exquisite furniture and luxurious carpets.
And the old woman, who looked fifty or sixty years old, was sitting on a gilded chair.
Mr. Hobson has been the Queen's personal butler for many years, which is directly related to his decades of prudence. After leading Anthony in, he consciously retreated quietly, and before leaving, he still took the door with him.
With the slightest sound of the door closing, he and the Queen were the only ones left in the house.
