Chapter 132: The Hellish Ministry of Magic

This was Gretel's second visit to the American Ministry of Magic.

The last time I was in the first grade was when I was hiding from Voldemort, I came to America through a portkey.

At that time, Mr. Newt Scamander had brought him here.

However, he was here as a guest at the time, so he was accompanied throughout the tour.

At that time, Glitter was also surprised that the administrative handling of the Ministry of Magic in the Americas was very efficient, unlike the British Ministry of Magic, where some trivial matters had to be delayed for a long time before anyone could deal with them.

This time, no one accompanied him, and Gretel broke in alone through illegal means, only to find out that there were a lot of things hidden here at that time.

In many places, even if Glitter is integrated into the magic particles, he can't break in.

Glitter could feel that those vigilance spells were not something that could be easily bypassed, but they would be triggered immediately when someone intruded or an inexplicable magic fluctuation was detected.

The trip was only to find Fred's traces, so Gretel didn't have much to do, and went around from a distance.

Unlike the British Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic of the Americas is located in the above-ground part of the administrative body.

Only some of the more dangerous sectors are kept underground.

The location of the Muggle Office is one level below the Office of the Minister of Magic.

This shows the status of the Muggle Office in the Ministry of Magic of the Americas.

Gretel watched for a long time, watching John Doug go about his business all the time.

For the Ministry of Magic, which runs an entire country, and is now the most powerful Muggle country in the world.

All the official duties that can be submitted to John Doug are all big things.

Magical sightings like the ones that Britain usually deals with are not eligible to be submitted to John Doug's desk at all.

The highest level that can be referred to this kind of thing is a small group of the Muggle Office.

The process for dealing with sightings is the same all over the world, and the memory processing department can easily solve this problem.

After the matter is processed, it is recorded and filed by the processing specialist.

The most different thing about England is that they sent people to erase the memories of Muggle sightings.

An additional Auror will be sent to arrest those who leaked secrets.

But at the end of the day, Grett only saw the Aurors who had been sent out to return to his life.

But there was no criminal who should have been caught.

Obviously, the International Wizarding Law stipulates that all wizards' trials must be judged by the local magical administration before they can be punished.

At first, Glitter wondered if the Ministry of Magic in the Americas had been corrupted by rotten capital.

Just like those 'old nobles' in England, as long as they don't go too far, a small bag of gold gallons can make the Aurors who lead the team let them go.

Even many officials in the Ministry of Magic have regarded this kind of thing as a good way to fight the autumn wind.

As long as you are short of money, lead a team of people, and bring a search warrant, by searching for traces of dark magic items, you can go to the manor of those pure-blood nobles and get some considerable rewards.

But after observing it for a long time, Gretel found that this was not the case.

Because not all of them have the money to make offerings to these black-robed pickets.

America is very large, and there are far more wizards than in England.

Among them, the poor are even more numerous.

Many of the sightings Gretel saw were leaked by ordinary wizards due to mistakes, or Muggle inspiration that ignored the Muggle Expulsion Charm.

To say that a civilian wizard who can make a living can still squeeze his pockets and ask for face from the black-robed picket.

Those wild wizards who are struggling on the edge of the survival line, where do they go to get the Golden Galleons?

For example, a wizard who blew up a small mountain bag because of a magic test and was desperate to flee for his life would have to be imprisoned for at least three months according to the International Wizard Secrecy Law.

However, Glitter waited for a day, but did not see the Aurors return with the criminals.

However, the report they handed in said that the matter had been dealt with.

There is no processing time, no processing method, and not even a brief report of the handler.

However, the archiving personnel, as if commonplace, skillfully knocked down the seal of the report to pass and accept the archive on this report that did not even fill in the most basic information.

Moreover, the department where they submitted the report was not the Auror office to which they belonged.

All the Aurors who dealt with Muggle matters, without exception, handed over their reports to the Muggle Office.

It was as if they were not the Aurors of the Auror Office, but rather the thugs of the Muggle Office.

Obviously, in the British Ministry of Magic, the Auror Office has the second only power in the Department of Magical Execution.

Again, this is a minor leak that doesn't need to be dealt with by John Doug.

The events that required him to deal with were even more appalling.

Many of the orders that flowed out of his office were intercontinental operations.

Dozens or hundreds of copies of the authorization information for the door key were sent out of his hands in one day.

There is one thing in common where these door keys land.

All of them lead to the war-torn zone of today.

Even if there is no war, it is a small country that leads to a poor countryside with inconvenient transportation and information.

They were secretly targeting Muggles in these countries.

Taking advantage of the war, they wantonly abducted civilians in the local area.

John Doug also empowered them to disguise themselves as violent agencies and raid and abduct people they needed if the local environment did not suit them.

According to Gretel's calculations, if the Ministry of Magic of the Americas continued to act like this every day, they would take at least tens of thousands of people from the Muggle world in a year.

Gretel didn't know what they were doing it for, but it couldn't be to vent their anger anyway.

Because the object of their captivity is quite clear.

Children, teenagers, prime, seniors......

Men and women ......

They even vaporize Muggles in proportion to their skin color.

It's hard not to associate Gretel with human trials.

But after thinking about it, Glitter couldn't understand where they had the courage to do so blatantly to Muggles.

Among other things, those satellites that constantly take pictures around the earth can completely expose their actions to the eyes of governments.

Muggles are no longer the Muggles they used to be, and wizards have long since lost the status of capturing Muggles at will and using them as experimental materials.

In fact, it is already the mercy of Muggles that there are still such a small number of people left in the wizarding world, so that magic can still be breathed.

All Ministries of Magic in the world have non-aggression pactes with their local Muggle governments.

The Ministries of Magic in some small countries have even been able to retain their administrative capacity thanks to funding from Muggle governments and assistance from the Ministries of Magic of other large countries.

In this reality, all wizards know that the bottom line of the Muggle government is that wizards cannot make a move against Muggles, otherwise it is likely that the entire Muggle society will be strangled against the wizarding world.

Glitter did not believe that the Ministry of Magic of the Americas was capable of standing up to Muggle governments around the world.

But they crossed the red line of the temporary peaceful coexistence of wizards and Muggles.

To say that this is not the Americas, but a backward and wild small African country, Gretel can understand.

In that land, wizards and Muggles like to be outside of mainstream society.

In the current era when civilization is making great strides, the people there are still immersed in the ancient world and rely on the sky to eat.

Therefore, among many ancient tribes there who are far away from society, shamans still hold the supreme power.

Not to mention that wizards don't care, even their own Muggles, they don't care, and even willingly sacrifice their enemies or their own bodies, lives and souls for wizards.

But here is the Americas.

It is the center of the whole world.

Whether in the Muggle world or in the wizarding world, they have taken center stage in the world.

So this unwise behavior, Gretel only felt outrageous.

If it weren't for John Doug, the Minister of Magic, and the rest of the authorities in charge of the various ministries, they would be the same white skins as Europe.

Glitter suspects that the Ministry of Magic of the Americas is ruled by sorcerers from African tribes.

Another thing that Gretel couldn't understand was that John Doug's order was quite straightforward.

But all the people who can see it are commonplace.

This kind of thing, which could turn the entire wizarding world upside down in an instant, couldn't make a wave at all for them.

The longer he stayed here, the more frightened Grett became, and he felt like the Ministry of Magic of the Americas was like an abyss about to swallow the wizarding world in one gulp.

Everything that happened here seemed to challenge his nerves.

It's hard to imagine what kind of ending the wizards will usher in once the events here are publicized.

That would be a more tragic consequence than the most brutal witch hunt ever seen in history.

If it weren't for the fact that his sanity was still alive, Glitter would want to wipe out all the people in the Ministry of Magic of the Americas, and leak out the affairs of their affairs here, so that the wizarding world would be completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Glitter came back to his senses in time, after all, it seems that their secrecy work is doing a good job and has not been exposed.

At least, even Newt Scamander, the archwizard of the entire wizarding world, visited the Ministry of Magic in person and found no clues.

In fact, if it weren't for Fred's disappearance, and Madame Vera's research, he learned to use magic particles to trace his origins.

Also, Raven Keith recognized John Doug's identity, and Gretel wouldn't have focused on the Ministry of Magic of the Americas.

Who would have thought that an organization, which is essentially to maintain the stability of the wizarding world, would maim Muggles behind their backs.

Obviously, one of the most important responsibilities of their Ministry of Magic is to arrest people who endanger the development of magical society.

So Gretel calmed down, and for the time being, there was no possibility of exposing it here.

But if he gets his hands dirty, it's different.

That will attract the eyes of the whole world, and then everything will be exposed, and there will be no possibility of turning around.

Here, a shocking secret is discovered, and Gretel feels that Fred's affairs don't matter at all now.

His whereabouts, dead or alive, are simply insignificant in the face of the consequences of the complete overthrow of the wizarding world.

John Doug, and the man behind him, would be the focus of Gretel's investigation of everything that would follow.

Glitter had been waiting patiently, the environment of the Ministry of Magic was not suitable for his hands, and he just wanted to wait for the Ministry of Magic to get off work quickly.

At that time, John Doug could be left alone, and Gretel could act on him.

In order to avoid missing out on opportunities due to loitering, Glitter stayed in his office every inch.

A pair of eyes lurking in the magic particles were nailed to John Doug's body.

Seeing that the time was approaching six o'clock, Glitter moved his body a little nervously.

He wanted to avoid assimilating himself into magical particles.

If that happens, there will probably never be a Gretel in this world again.

As the minutes ticked by, John Doug stood up and straightened his countenance.

Strode out of the office.

Outside the door, the clerks separated by the workstation saw him walk out, left the team one by one, and stood next to the workstation honestly.

"Forget it and forget it~"

Glitter was stunned for a moment.

It's no wonder that everyone he bumps into when he wanders around this floor gives him a strange feeling.

Looking at it now, it is clear to Gretel.

Frequent use and forgetfulness will cause sequelae.

Just like Neville Longbottom, because since he was a child, his grandmother used an amnesia charm to erase the memories of his parents being tortured, which caused him to have incurable forgetfulness.

Adults, because their brains are already fully developed, and they have the magic protection of their bodies far beyond that of young wizards, so there are no serious consequences like Neville.

But in the end, there are still sequelae.

The limbs that slow down from time to time, or the management of facial expressions that are out of control, are explained at this time.

Every time John Doug passed by someone, he would wave his wand in front of that person's eyes, and then in that person's distracted expression, he would say that he was now ready to leave work.

Whoever he walked in front of him, his body couldn't help but tremble.

I don't know what John Doug has pinched on them, even if the body has shown an uncontrollable resistance.

They still firmly controlled themselves, trembling their bodies, losing their minds from the effects of the spell, and sat back on their butts, silently adjusting their state.

Just walked around like this, and the time also moved towards six o'clock.

After a bell, John Doug finished his work for the day.

But instead of leaving, he silently walked up the stairs to the upper floor.

Strangely, the higher he went, the more his body began to resist.

Gretel couldn't help but wonder, could it be that John Doug, the confidant of the Minister of Magic, would also be dealt with with by the Oblivion Charm?
