232. DUANG, RED FAT CHICKEN
In the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore rarely changed into a formal suit, wearing a beanie beanie on his head, paired with a silk embroidered robe, and the hem was embellished with translucent silk, giving people a feeling of "fairy wind bones".
"Dudley, has anything good happened lately? You seem to be in a good mood. ”
Dumbledore asked with a smile.
When it comes to being in a good mood, it's obvious that Dumbledore is in a better mood.
"I remembered something happy."
Dudley made a very perfunctory excuse and responded with a smile, though his smile was not much different from anger to many people.
"Professor, I don't think this outfit of yours is a special robe from the Wizengamot, right?"
The members of the Wizengamot have a uniform of fuchsia robes with flat top hats and a delicate silver "W" embroidered on the left chest.
The one on Dumbledore's body obviously had nothing to do with fuchsia at all, and there was no silver 'W'.
"Anyway, I'm also the chief wizard there, and I have a little bit of privilege."
Dumbledore said and winked at Daldy.
The fuchsia robes were too riotous, and Dumbledore didn't like them very much, preferring pure purple or light purple clothes.
"Are you ready?"
Dumbledore said, "It's almost time, I think it's time for us to pass." ”
"Anytime, Professor." Dudley shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he was fine.
Dumbledore looked at the Phoenix Nest in the Headmaster's office, "Fawkes, please. ”
Hogwarts Castle has been spelled by the four House founders, and wizards are not allowed to use Shapeshifting in the castle, even as the Headmaster.
However, it is not forbidden to use other creatures other than wizards, such as magical beasts, such as house-elves.
Among them, the phoenix is one of the few magical creatures that can change shapes.
Hearing his name called, Fawkes poked his head out of the nest and lazily yelled at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore wore his half-moon glasses, and said uncertainly, "Have you gained weight lately?" A little? ”
More than a little, Fox has obviously gained a lot of weight.
If you can still see that it is a phoenix before, now you can only see that it is a red fat chicken.
The main thing is that the food is too good
Ever since this guy got acquainted with Crookshan, there hasn't been a shortage of magical beast rations.
Fawkes called again, and finally Ken came out of the nest, flapping his wings and flying onto Dudley's shoulder next to Dumbledore, the whole time without a trace of effort.
Although it is larger, it does not affect its flight.
Don't look at this little thing, it can move creatures that weigh a hundred times its own weight.
The seemingly round belly can actually be eliminated in an instant if Fawkes wants to, and it is just enjoying the process of slowly digesting food.
The phoenix is one of the most powerful magical creatures, and if it weren't for its lack of desire to attack wizards, it would be more than enough to give it a 5X level.
"Thank you, Fawkes."
Dudley grabbed its chin, and Fawkes narrowed his eyes in pleasure with the skillful gesture.
It's not just cats that like to scratch their chins, as long as it's a long-haired creature, most of them like to have their chins scratched.
"After a while, maybe Fox won't know me anymore." Dumbledore quipped.
Dudley just smiled and shook his head at Dumbledore's quip.
Even with the magical beast ration Dudley, it is impossible to take Fawkes, the phoenix is a very loyal magical creature, there are almost no cases in history of being tamed by wizards, and even if it is tamed, it will only be accompanied by one wizard, and the wizard who accompanies Fawkes is Dumbledore.
It's good to be close to Dudley, but it's more loyal to Dumbledore.
Fawkes flew above the two of them, and with a non-dazzling white light, the two disappeared into the principal's office.
When the two reappeared, they were already on the streets of London, near Whitehall to be exact.
Dumbledore flicked his wand slightly, dispersing the surrounding normals who might have been close to the two.
"I guess Dudley hasn't been to the Ministry of Magic yet."
Dumbledore walked to a stop in front of a dilapidated red telephone booth, surrounded by a few dilapidated buildings of unknown use, a pub, and a dirty street with a messy painted wall.
Even on the busiest streets of London, the surrounding environment is extremely bad.
Sanitation workers in England are not as diligent.
They are not paid enough to pay for their daily hard cleaning.
Insisting on mandatory targets will only provoke them to choose a collective strike.
Dudley nodded, "Yes, Professor." ”
"Then come in." Dumbledore said as he pushed open the door to the phone booth.
Closing the door, Dumbledore dialed the number, and Dudley saw the numbers - 62442.
At this moment, a female voice sounded above the pavilion, and after asking the two of them why they went to the Ministry of Magic, a silver badge with their names and reasons was spit out from the telephone, and then the phone booth descended like an elevator for about a minute, and the elevator slowly arrived.
Dudley and Dumbledore stepped out of it.
"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, Dudley."
"Thank you for your welcome, Professor Dumbledore."
The place where the two of them appeared was the main entrance of the Ministry of Magic, and as long as there was a corresponding elevator, they could lead to any department of the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, you can use the Shapeshifter to come directly to the Ministry of Magic, unlike Hogwarts, where there is no spell that prohibits the use of Shapeshifter, but except for the staff of the Ministry of Magic, others do not recommend this, and it is easy to be regarded as an intruder.
They were going to the Wizengamot Council's Division of Magical Law Enforcement on the second basement floor.
The Ministry of Magic has ten floors, all underground.
By the way, the current location of the two is on the eighth basement floor.
In all fairness, the appearance of such an underground complex in this era is quite shocking.
Follow Dumbledore all the way to the Hall of the Magical Department, where in the center is a circular waterhole with a group of solid gold statues of wizards, witches, centaurs, elves, and house-elves.
This is the famous Fountain of the Magic Brothers.
Wizards and witches stood in the center, while centaurs, goblins, and house-elves surrounded them, looking at them with adoration on their faces.
Dumbledore led Dudley to the famous fountain.
"Wizards don't gain the respect of centaurs and elves, many don't even treat them as equals, people always look at them with stereotypes as beasts, enemies and servants, and the 'Fountain of Magical Brothers' is not a 'Fountain of Brothers' but a 'Fountain of Hypocrisy'."
The wizards passing by heard Dumbledore's words and felt that they made sense, and wizards should really reflect on it.
However, while Dumbledore's words were philosophical, Dudley had other ideas.
The description of the phone booth leading to the Ministry of Magic, which I refer to in the original book, is not the same as the clean streets in the movie.
