The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

"But...but they are wizards. We don't know how powerful they are yet. What if..."

Anthony gathered his thoughts and said indirectly.

"Your Highness." At this time, Sir Humphrey, who was sorting out information on the side, suddenly interjected: "Let's make a hypothesis."

He turned to look at Anthony, with a smile on his face, and his tone of voice seemed to be nurturing his juniors, and said: "We assume that they are really powerful, then why do the wizards hide themselves?"

"Forehead..."

Because of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy!Anthony complained in his heart.

After a second thought, he understood what Sir Humphrey meant.

His question is more profound, and how did this law come into being?What background?By whom?Why was this law issued?

After thinking carefully, he reluctantly got an answer from the fragmentary memory of the history of magic in his previous life.

Are wizards preventing Muggles from persecuting them?

This...

But how could a Muggle defeat a wizard?

Is it because of the number of people?

"Maybe...maybe he doesn't want to communicate with ordinary people?" After thinking about it, Anthony finally gave the most mainstream view in the current wizarding world, that wizards refuse to communicate with Muggles.

"In that case, why are they recruiting you? Why do they need to visit Mr. Prime Minister?" Sir Humphrey chuckled softly: "Only the weak are good at hiding! Your Highness. Maybe the wizard can fight one against a hundred, but it is absolutely No match for Britain!”

As he spoke, a slight upward smile appeared on the cabinet secretary's face.

Worthy of being the smartest Sir Humphrey in the entire civil service except for the man 'God calls me God', Anthony sighed softly.Can you make such a judgment based only on a few words and a personal relationship with the wizard?

"This...this is just your guess..."

"No, this is not a guess, but an inference." Sir Humphrey smiled slightly, and then an arrogant yet slightly reserved expression appeared on his face. It was the most conceited look, and he said: "Observation You can judge a person based on his clothing, fabric material, and tone of voice."

"Really!" Anthony sighed.Of course he understands this, obviously.

Anthony looked at Mr. Harker. The new British Prime Minister graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science, a 'non-famous' university in the UK. This is a more practical college. In addition, Mr. Harker came from a civilian background, so the clothes he wore Not so 'traditional'.A double-breasted suit with a loose tie will give people a casual feel and make the Prime Minister more people-friendly.

Then he turned to look at Sir Humphrey and Mr. Bernard. Their clothes were obviously different.

The two came from privileged backgrounds and were born in old London.They are most conservative and still adhere to the so-called 'tradition', which is a single-breasted suit with a blue lining, a dark tie, and a Windsor knot.

Anthony is also dressed in this way.

Don't underestimate these small 'details', as they can reflect the differences in values ​​and worldviews between the three cabinet members.

Of course, he was just forced to dress like this. If possible, he would prefer short-sleeved shorts and flip-flops.

...

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a humble public instrument for observing words and expressions!Anthony looked at Sir Humphrey's proud face and thought, what if he told him now that wizards may not be able to deal with the whole of Britain, but they are more than enough to deal with you three Muggles?

It's going to be fun, isn't it?

However, after a short period of thinking, Anthony decisively gave up the idea.

He was afraid of hurting the newly-appointed Prime Minister.

And, what would have happened to the Harry Potter story if it had been allowed to continue?

hoohoo!

This is more interesting!

...

Time passed and soon Anthony had his first night in Whitehall.

It was a dreamless night, and when he woke up again, it was already early morning.

At seven o'clock in the morning, he climbed out of his bed. After many years of habit, sleeping in was now a luxury.

Breakfast is milk and sandwiches prepared by the Prime Minister's personal chef...

He was not entitled to go to the cabinet dining room for breakfast with the civil servants.

Because the restaurant is funded by the state, Anthony is not a government employee, so he has no right to enjoy any food in the cabinet restaurant, and the royal finances are strictly separated from the state finances. Simply put, he is an outsider in No. [-], although the entire country belongs to the queen. the rule of...

His current status is that he is just a personal guest of Mr. Prime Minister. Even Mr. Harker is not qualified to eat in the cabinet restaurant, let alone...

His brief encounter with Mr. Harker in the morning left him with a deep memory of the Prime Minister.

His eyes with dark circles are really eye-catching.The Prime Minister's wife, Ms. Anne, explained to him that her husband was busy until late last night and went to bed in the middle of the night.

Hearing this, Anthony was immediately moved by this hard-working Prime Minister (fake).

It was the British Empire that failed you...

He said this silently and kept it in his mind. When he returned home, he would surely find an opportunity to say a few kind words to the Prime Minister in his aunt's ear...

...

Nine o'clock.

As expected, green flames burst out of the fireplace in the office again.But this time Mr. Harker was well prepared, and he had already moved to the other side of the long table early in the morning.

People keep popping up behind me, how scary it is!

After the flames surged, a witch wearing square glasses, curly black hair tied into a high bun, and dark green robes appeared in the room.

Mr. Bernard immediately stepped forward to greet the wizard who had emerged from the fireplace.

"Hello, I am Bernard Woolley, private secretary to the Prime Minister."

He didn't know the etiquette of wizards, so he had to choose the most common one, the handshake.

Professor McGonagall, who was visiting the Muggle Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time, was also a little cautious. After shaking hands with Bernard, she went straight to the point and whispered: "Minerva McGonagall, Vice-Principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. .Excuse me, where is Mr. Anthony?”

"Bernard, tell Sir Humphrey to come over and bring our Prince with him."

Mr. Harker was dazzled by the sudden green light. He first took off his glasses and softly softened his eyes. When his vision became clear, he stood up and greeted him warmly, saying: "Jim Harker, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, welcome. Your visit, please take a seat.”

Professor McGonagall did not respond too much to Mr. Harker's enthusiasm. She knew her job very well. She would only come to this place once, so she had no plans to make friends with the Muggle Prime Minister.

However, due respect and grace are still required.The professor first nodded slightly towards Mr. Harker, and then sat on the chair closest to him.

The whole movement is full of rigor and mystery.
