The day of the duel at Hogwarts

"Hello, Master, my name is Aldrich Brown. From now on, I will be your personal butler, and this Mr. Jason Mill will be your personal attendant from now on. If you have any needs or orders, please feel free to call me anytime, anywhere. arrange for us.”

Aldridge is a meticulous person, whether it is his neatly groomed hair, which is comparable to Malfoy's, or his wrinkle-free and spotless coat, or his movements that are standard and just right, all prove his business ability.

Instead, it was Jason, standing behind Aldrich, still a little stiff, with an unnatural expression on his face, and he didn't seem to be so willing to follow Sean.

Sean glanced at them, nodded slightly, and did not mock Jason. He just treated him as a stranger. He looked at Aldrich and asked, "Aldrich, how do we get to Beauxbatons?"

"Master, if we want to go to Beauxbatons, we must first go to the Ministry of Magic. Master, please come with me."

Looking at Aldrich and Jason who were not saluting, Sean asked: "Have I taken care of my saluting?"

"Please don't worry, young master. I carry items with the Traceless Stretching Charm with me, and I have already put them in them."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Yes, sir."

Looking at the red phone booth in front of him, Sean turned his head and looked at the surrounding streets.

The buildings everywhere are dilapidated and sparsely populated. The only one with traces of people is a bar that is closed during the day. The surrounding walls are covered with messy graffiti. Some of the graffiti is a mixture of four or five styles, which cannot be seen at all. What exactly was drawn?

Behind the corner not far from the phone booth is a street full of people.

Aldrich took the lead in opening the door of the red phone booth and walked in, and then said to Sean and Jason: "Master, please come in. This place is a little small. Master, please be patient."

Nodding, Sean and Jason walked in one after another. Fortunately, Sean and Jason were both young and had not yet completed their growth. Aldridge's figure was also quite standard, tall and slender, otherwise the three of them would have stayed here together. , it’s really a bit troublesome.

Jason closed the door of the phone booth and stood aside as quietly as a chicken. Aldrich nodded to Jason, then picked up the phone and pressed the five numbers 62442 on the phone button. He waited for about two Breathing, a cold female voice sounded in the phone booth.

That's right, it didn't ring in the receiver, but in the entire phone booth, as if the owner of the voice was sitting next to him and said: "Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and what you are here to do."

"Shawn Bursted, Aldrich Brown, and Jason Mir are here to handle matters related to the portkey's exit."

"Thank you. Guests, please pick up the badge and pin it on your clothes."

As the cold female voice finished speaking, multiple jingling sounds suddenly came from the coin slot of the phone in the phone booth. Aldrich took out three square silver badges with the names of three people written on them. There is also a line of small words under the name, door key to exit.

After Sean and the three of them pinned their badges on their clothes, the cold female voice sounded again.

"Visitor from the Ministry of Magic, you need to go through security check and register your wand. The security check is located at the end of the main hall. Welcome to the Ministry of Magic."

This time, when the cold female voice finished speaking, the red phone booth suddenly slowly descended, sinking into the ground like an elevator, and plunged into darkness.

Accompanied by a monotonous and harsh sound of metal friction, finally about a minute later, the phone booth arrived in a splendid hall. There was a peacock blue ceiling with constantly changing golden symbols, and a dark color that could be seen. There are wooden floors and a large number of fireplaces on the walls on both sides. Wizards walk out of them with the flow of green flames. There are also many wizard parties waiting to leave from the fireplaces.

"Master, the people on both sides are staff of the Ministry of Magic, or related personnel. They use the internal staff channel, and we are visitors, so we need to use the visitor channel. Otherwise, it will be much easier and there will be no need for so much trouble."

While introducing Sean, Aldrich led Sean and Jason through the Magic Brothers Fountain and went straight to the security check and wand registration area.

The security check and wand registration were very fast, especially after the staff recognized Sean's last name, their attitude became much gentler, and the work became fast and efficient.

Seeing their reactions, Aldridge whispered to Sean: "Master, the Burst family supports the Ministry of Magic with a large amount of money every year. Unlike the Malfoy family, the Burst family does not like to work here." This kind of thing is in the limelight, so the outside world knows very little about the affairs of the Burst family, but people working in the Ministry of Magic can always hear first-hand news, so unlike outside wizards, they generally know about the Burst family. of influence.”

After listening to Aldrich's words, Sean nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After the inspection, Aldrich took Sean and Jason further and came to a small hall next to the hall. There were twenty elevators with golden fences. The three of them walked into the one with fewer people. , went straight from the lobby on the eighth underground floor as the visitor entrance to the Magical Transportation Department on the sixth underground floor, and came to the Portkey Office located in the center of this floor.

"Hello, Mr. Basil, let's handle the situation."

Basil is a slightly bald, middle-aged wizard. When he first saw Sean and the others, he still had a businesslike attitude. However, when Aldrich put the certificate in front of him, he saw that When he saw the coat of arms belonging to the Bursted family on the document, he immediately became enthusiastic.

"It turns out they are from the Bosted family. Let me see what help you need." After briefly looking at the documents in front of him, Basil nodded immediately and said: "I understand, this is a very simple matter. I will contact the French side right away. You just need to wait a moment at the door key collection area. After the two sides are connected, you can go directly."

Basil happily showed Sean and the others the certificate, and Basil sent Sean and the others out of his office enthusiastically.

Sean turned his head and looked at Basil who was still smiling at the door after the three of them had left. He couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of privilege. It's no wonder that both wizards and ordinary people have sharpened their heads and want to go up. climb.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Master, please accept this thing. This is a special order that Master applied to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to allow the use of magic for our trip. With this thing, as long as Without using any evil black magic or the Unforgivable Curse, the young master can use magic as much as he wants during the holidays."
