Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

I have to say that this meeting was much more chaotic than Eric imagined.

After the speech by the special envoy sent by the Department of International Magical Legal Cooperation at the beginning, the quarrel between the Legal Committee of the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Tribunal directly reached a fever pitch.

This is not a meeting to discuss the new law. It is simply a reasonable occasion for two factions to quarrel with each other.

More than a dozen wizards took their speeches and kept roaring at the round table. When talking about urgent matters, they pulled each other's robes and rolled up their sleeves, as if they were trying to convince each other by force.

Strange screams and roars continued to sound in the room, and the wizards' voices ranged from sharp to hoarse. Eric can guarantee that if someone who didn't know the situation passed by the door at this moment, he would probably think that the room was full of people. There is a group of cannibalistic werewolves fighting for food.

Eric glanced over the faces of all the wizards and focused his gaze on the male and female wizards who sat on both sides of the envoy and remained silent.

After a cursory glance, Eric was surprised to find that he knew almost everyone.

First of all, Mrs. Amelia Bones, who we had met once before. Today she put on a pair of exquisite monocles and looked very formal and dignified. Compared with the last time she was in Dumbledore's office, She looked like a kind neighbor aunt, but today she looked more like the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

There are also two wizards who have remained silent. They are old acquaintances - Barty Crouch, who has a serious face, and Cornelius Fudge, who is playing with his top hat leisurely.

As for the wizard sitting on the left side of the special envoy, although Eric did not recognize him, he noticed that this guy had been staring at him expressionlessly since he came in.

At first, Eric thought this was another wizard who wanted to make him unhappy, but he found that more than ten minutes had passed, and this guy's eyes were still fixed on him!

Moreover, his Occlumency was always feeding back information, and someone was using Legilimency against him.

Sensing the "attacks" again and again, Eric finally turned his gaze and looked at him with an unhappy expression.

But as he looked at it, he suddenly felt that the wizard in front of him looked familiar, with dark brown hair and light blue pupils...

Wait, this guy couldn't be Carl's brother, or Felix Foley's father.

Noticing that the wizard who had been looking at him had looked away, Eric pushed Albus Dumbledore, who was sitting next to him with interest and watching the show seriously, and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that's your uncle, Taos Foley."

Dumbledore and Eric whispered: "To be honest, if he hadn't insisted, the Ministry of Magic would not have agreed to let you attend today."

Oh?

Eric was a little surprised and was a little unsure about his uncle's decision.

At this moment, the special envoy who had been sitting quietly finally couldn't bear the continuous noise. He raised his wand and made a blast, suppressing everyone's voices. At the same time, he pressed down with his hands, forcing Sit down with all the wizards.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to give birth to a new law, not for you to be here to settle old scores."

The special envoy was very tall. He stood up and scanned the surrounding wizards. When he glanced at Principal Dumbledore, he bowed respectfully and continued to say to the other wizards: "And the original owner of this meeting today is It’s already here, I suggest everyone calm down and listen to the children’s cries.”

After speaking, he stretched out his arm towards Eric and signaled: "Child, come on, if you have any new opinions on the new protection law for minor wizards, don't be shy, be bold."

Eric stood up slowly, took out his notes from his arms, and under the encouraging eyes of the envoy and Dumbledore, he began to state the laws he had learned in his previous life.

After his voice sounded, the wizards in the room also became quiet, but most of the wizards still had a look of disdain on their faces.

But as he uttered extremely detailed and standardized laws and regulations, the expressions on the faces of many wizards present changed. Many people adjusted their sitting postures and listened to his speech more carefully.

To be honest, Eric quite likes this feeling. After all, deep down in his heart, this is his job.

Perhaps, if he gets tired of being a wizard in the future, he can pretend to be a lawyer to defend people.As for the winning rate, just kidding, have you ever heard of the Confusion Curse?If it doesn't work, I'll knock you out and the other party's lawyer will give up the defense.

While Eric was giving a multi-minded speech, noisy shouts suddenly came from outside the closed door, interrupting his words from time to time. As time went by, the shouts outside became louder and louder. It’s getting more and more cluttered.

The wizards present couldn't help but frown. At Bones's signal, a wizard walked out of the room and went to check the source of the commotion.

But only 2 minutes later, the wizard ran in with an anxious look on his face, rushed to Mrs. Bones' side, and whispered something in her ear.

After listening to his whisper, the expression on Bones's always serious face suddenly changed, and she stood up with an extremely ugly face. Looking at Eric who had stopped, she forced a smile: "That's very true. Mr. Foley, but I'm sorry, it seems that today's meeting can only end here. Principal Dumbledore, please send the special envoy to the office on the fifth floor."

After saying that, without waiting for Dumbledore's reply, she hurriedly said something to a few people around her, and the four of them rushed out quickly. Even the expression on the face of Cornelius Fudge, who had always been leisurely, changed. .

The wizards who were still in the room hesitated for a while, and then took out their wands and followed them out. Only Eric, Dumbledore, and the special envoy were left in the room. inside.

"What happened?"

The special envoy asked speechlessly, looked at the room that immediately became empty around him, spread his hands and asked helplessly: "Mr. Dumbledore, why did they all run out?"

"Sorry, envoy, the Ministry of Magic may have encountered some emergencies today."

Dumbledore motioned to Eric to put away the notebook and continued to speak to the special envoy: "How about I take you to the International Federation of Magic offices on the fifth floor first. It is said that I still have an office there."

The three of them quickly walked outside and saw that the Law Enforcement Department and the Auror Office on the second floor, which were originally quiet and tidy, had become extremely chaotic. Countless wizards were running around randomly, shouting some incomprehensible codes.At the same time, a dozen wizards wearing strange armors rushed out of the small Auror office and rushed to the elevator.

Looking at the panic scene in front of him, Dumbledore couldn't help but frown. After the group of wizards disappeared, he led the two of them into a slightly deformed elevator.

The special envoy couldn't help but ask: "It looks like you are facing a war. Could it be that an enemy has invaded your Ministry of Magic?"

Watching the elevator slowly sinking to the fourth floor, Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged and he just pulled out his wand: "Maybe, Mr. Envoy, but I think facing you guys may not be considered a war at all."

what?

Eric looked at the professor in surprise, and his brain immediately reacted and stood at the other corner of the elevator. The wand quickly appeared in his hand, and he and the professor pointed it at the special envoy.

"Mr. Special Envoy, although the Fremont brand shampoo is indeed very fragrant, the amount you used is a bit too much. The entire elevator is filled with this fragrance."

Dumbledore shook his head with a look of regret on his face: "But I have to say that your Transfiguration is really excellent. You can transform into other people without using Polyjuice Potion. Creatures like you are really amazing."

As he finished speaking, the elevator suddenly dinged and stopped on the fifth floor.

When the closed elevator door opened, Eric looked at the figures standing in various directions in the lobby outside the elevator. He sighed inaudibly and reminded the principal, who still had his back to the elevator entrance: "Tsk, Professor. , it looks like we fell into a trap today."
