Chapter 62: The Past of the Secrecy Law
Now let's get to know the gentleman in front of us again.
He is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council and was once an empire on which the sun never sets.
53 Commonwealth countries are under the rule of the King's Hand.
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Prime Minister of the British Empire.
One sentence can determine the life and death of a small country and the fate of a medium-sized country.
The man who sets the global rules.
Even if he got up now and said to Fudge:
Himself in no way agrees with his leadership, he has betrayed the trust of the British people (wizards are also people), for the good of the country, sir, please resign.
We need new leaders.
What could he Fudge say?
He can't do anything but be incompetent and furious, does he dare to make a move against the Prime Minister of the British Empire?
Perhaps, Fudge can only use that shady and vicious means to kill the prime minister in secret, but he has to pray, pray that he will not be discovered.
Otherwise, they have no chance of winning the next war.
We have to admit that sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to recognize our own weakness.
Anyone present knew that perhaps wizards could defeat Muggles, but the British Empire could definitely crush the British Ministry of Magic to the ground.
And this meeting, which Fudge saw as a warning to the Muggle Prime Minister, ended in his fiasco.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Huck was very kind to keep them for dinner.
Of course, at this time, Fudge had already left in disgrace.
But Mr. Prime Minister didn't care, what he cared about was that Ms. Aogaoka, her country had given him a lot of inspiration, and perhaps his own countermeasures about the Ministry of Magic could be used as a reference to the policies that had already been implemented.
And Dumbledore, who participated in the whole process, felt a lot, and for the first time, the great white wizard of his life felt a sense of powerlessness.
It was a wavering of faith.
In 1945, one of the forces that sustained his defeat of Grindelwald was the belief in upholding the International Confederation of Wizards and the Wizarding Secrecy Act.
But now it seems that the path he is following is not so right.
At least in dealing with wizard-Muggle relationships, there is a third way other than his tolerance and Grindelwald's rule.
A path of integration.
...
Time passes slowly.
Christmas is just around the corner.
At the beginning of December, it had been snowing heavily at Hogwarts for several days.
The entire castle was buried with several feet of snow.
There are fewer little wizards skating on the lake, because the snow is too thick to stretch their legs.
Early in the morning, Anthony saw the twins, with black faces and brooms, leaving the common room.
According to Ron, the Twins received a punishment from Professor McGonagall yesterday.
Because they enchanted a few snowballs, causing them to run after Quirrell, and threw snowballs on the back of his turban.
Hehe.
When Anthony heard the news, he immediately burst out laughing.
Great Voldemort, Dark Lord! Tame the Wizard of Death.
I've only been physically slapped in the face by two people in my life, one named Weasley, and the other...
Also called Weasley.
Ha ha!
That's quite a feat! It's a pity that the two of them don't know, if the twins know that only their brothers have slapped Voldemort in the face in the entire wizarding world, then Anthony absolutely believes that George and Fred will write this matter in their heads and brag about it everywhere.
However, for the sake of the personal safety of the two of them, Anthony still resisted the excitement in his heart and decided to keep this matter in his heart forever.
Otherwise, the one who has no nose and has more than one named Potter in his heart, and two more named Weasleys.
...
Yesterday afternoon, in the midst of a snowstorm, Humphrey sent him a letter after much difficulty.
This is the third letter it sent in one day yesterday.
One letter from the Queen, and the other two letters from Bernard.
When the last letter arrived, the snowy owl had an extra collar around its neck. On the collar is a pendant with the word 'edelweiss' engraved on it.
It is clear that this is Sir Humphrey's handiwork.
He wanted to change the name of the snowy owl.
It's a pity that magical creatures are not ordinary pets, and once you recognize a certain name, you can't change it.
However, Anthony didn't take off his collar either, so he should have given Sir Humphrey some hope... Hey!
He first tore open his aunt's letters.
I don't know when it began, Her Majesty seems to have treated him as a tree hole, and the weekly letter has changed from care and love at the beginning to all kinds of bitter water in the end.
What prince marriage is going wrong again!
His little aunt is there again!
His cousins are in trouble again!
Wait a minute!
It's a pity that Anthony can only look at it, after all, he can't talk about these things.
As for the minutes of Berner's meeting, it probably means that the wizards of Huaguo arrived, and they held a meeting in Downing Street.
The Minister of Magic and Dumbledore were all there, so it was not lively.
Seriously, he couldn't believe that Fudge could pull like this!
Basically, he was suppressed by Mr. Huck the whole time.
It's a little confused, and now it doesn't seem like he needs to make his own plans, so what if Mr. Huck can push the Ministry of Magic all the way?
Originally, their plan was to recruit a group of wizards and children from Muggle backgrounds or living in the Muggle world and train them. Wait for more than ten years, and after the end of the Third Wizard War, the wizarding world will wither, so that it can be slowly figured out.
It's only the first grade!
Mr. Huck has been brave enough to suppress the Minister of Magic.
It seems that their plan was a little too cautious.
Yes! No, it's too conservative.
The plan must be revised.
Another point.
What intrigued Anthony about this letter was the attitude of the Chinese wizard named Qingqiu towards the Secrecy Law.
As a die-hard fan of the original book, the information he learned shows that not all wizards in this world are willing to abide by the "Secrecy Law", otherwise there would be no Grindelwald to start a war in Europe.
It needs to be understood that a society can be torn apart enough to break out into war.
Then, the emergence of such social contradictions is absolutely not something that a certain person or certain group can bewitch.
Grindelwald's ability to start the European Wizarding Wars (which actually didn't start) already shows that there is a large group of people in the entire wizarding society who oppose the Secrecy Act.
Even hated this law.
One of the most thought-provoking is American society.
In 1777, a controversial debate erupted in the American magical society.
The topic is: Country or Race?
Is the wizard supposed to support his country? Or should he prop up the wizarding race he represents?
