Hogwarts card wizard

Chapter 342 The Ministry of Magic

next day!

The morning exercises that Kevin had insisted on for many years had to be cancelled, because he and Harry were going to the Ministry of Magic accompanied by Mr. Weasley after getting up.

Black's ancestral home has long been abandoned, so there is no Floo connection.They also don't use magical means of transportation for safety's sake.

Originally, Kevin meant to ask a car to come over, but Mr. Weasley wanted to see how Muggles transported, and finally decided to take the subway to the Ministry of Magic.

Along the way, Mr. Weasley was very excited. Because of his work, Mr. Weasley would often go to the Muggle world for business trips, but he had never experienced the transportation methods of Muggles.

This time he finally got his wish, but it made Kevin and Harry somewhat embarrassed.

Because Mr. Weasley is completely like a "bumpkin" who just entered the city, he is very interested in everything, and he doesn't care about the strange eyes of the pedestrians around him.

When entering the subway station, a joke was made because of the sensor door at the entrance, because Mr. Weasley stood there all the time because he didn't know how to check the ticket, and this time period was the rush hour for work, which resulted in the following A lot of pedestrians were blocked.

After entering the subway station, Mr. Weasley became interested in the vending machine again, and kept fiddling with it like a child, trying to get a sandwich out of it.

For this reason, the two had to keep explaining to him all kinds of things that didn't need to be explained at all!

After walking out of the subway station, he let out a long sigh of relief. This was the first time Kevin felt tired from taking the subway!

Harry smiled wryly: "I didn't expect Mr. Weasley to like Muggle things so much. Look, he started studying bus tickets there."

Kevin smiled helplessly and urged: "Mr. Weasley, I think we should hurry up."

Mr. Weasley came over, gestured for the ticket in his hand, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect a piece of paper to open the door. The magic of Muggles is really incredible."

Kevin smiled and said: "If I have time in the future, I will let you take all the Muggle vehicles. But now we should go to the Ministry of Magic first, what do you think?"

After the three of them walked out of the subway station for more than ten minutes, Mr. Weasley said that they were coming.

Kevin was quite surprised. Although he knew that the Ministry of Magic was located underground in London, he didn't know the exact location.

"Isn't 10 Downing Street nearby? The Ministry of Magic is here?" Kevin asked in surprise.

No. 10 Downing Street is the official residence of the British Prime Minister. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Magic is located in the political center of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Weasley explained: "The Muggle Prime Minister knows the existence of the wizarding world, and the Ministry of Magic also has diplomatic relations with them. In order to facilitate contact, in fact, it is precisely because the Ministry of Magic is here that the Muggles will regard this place as the Prime Minister official residence."

Harry asked curiously, "We're not going to enter from No. 10 Downing Street, are we?"

Mr. Weasley smiled and said, "Ha ha! Of course not, we're going to enter from the guest entrance. Let's go, it's right in front."

Originally, both Kevin and Harry thought that the front of Mr. Weasley was a building, or at least a room.

But they didn't know until Mr. Weasley stopped in front of a red telephone box that this was the entrance to the Ministry of Magic.

Kevin said in surprise: "Should I say that you are brave or rich in imagination? You even put the entrance in a telephone booth."

Mr. Weasley explained: "It's not as simple as you think, Kevin! You'll know when you go in, come on! It might be crowded."

After the three of them walked in, it seemed very crowded. Mr. Weasley took out a coin from his pocket and put it into the phone, and then dialed a number.

Soon, a woman's voice came from the phone.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and business."

Mr. Weasley said into the microphone: "Arthur Weasley, Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, Kevin Alley, Harry Potter, the Ministry has asked him to stand trial."

"Understood! Guests, please take your badges."

As soon as the words fell, a "crash" sound was heard, and two badges slipped down from the coin return slot.

The woman's voice rang again on the phone: "Guests, please pin your badge on your clothes. You need to be checked at the security checkpoint and register your wand! Please pay attention to the instructions."

Mr. Weasley said: "Put it on. It's the first time I've entered through the guest entrance. I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

Just as Kevin pinned the badge on his chest, the phone booth made a "click" sound and sank toward the ground like an elevator.

As the phone booth sank slowly, a magical world appeared before Kevin's eyes after a moment of darkness.

I saw a wide and ridiculous tunnel below, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

"This is the Ministry of Magic, the central organization of the wizarding world!" Kevin said in amazement.

The telephone box was parked on the ground, and Mr. Weasley pushed open the door and said, "Come, children! Welcome to the Ministry of Magic."

Before coming here, Kevin thought that the Ministry of Magic would be a place like Diagon Alley, retro and messy, but after arriving here, he realized that they were two totally different places.

Walking out of the phone booth, the tunnel looks wider and taller, with a dark oak floor on the ground.The tunnel was built with an unknown material of stone, the whole body was dark but with faint blue light.

The ceiling is inlaid with shimmering gold symbols, which serve as both decoration and illumination.The most important thing is that it is very clean, every place is polished and polished.

There are many fireplaces inlaid on the surrounding walls, and green flames will burst out from time to time.Wizards came out of it one by one, and many wizards were queuing up to leave.

Mr. Weasley explained: "The Ministry of Magic is connected to the Floo network around the world. Next time you are here you can come via the Floo network. Come on, let's go to the registration desk first."

There are still many stalls in the tunnel, but they mainly sell various newspapers and magazines.Wizards walked among them, chatting about the latest current events, or the loss of income in various markets.

"Here and Hogwarts are really two completely different worlds!" Harry said with emotion.

Led by Mr. Weasley, they walked through the tunnel and came to a magnificent building.

This is a large and outrageous circular hall. The rooms on the surrounding walls are neatly arranged like books on the bookshelves, and there are two circular fountains in the middle.

In the middle of a fountain stood a golden statue of a wizard, his wand raised high and pointed to the sky.Another fountain has statues of witches, centaurs, goblins and house-elves.

When passing the fountain, Harry suddenly asked, "Kevin, have you brought any coins?"

Kevin said: "Bring it, what's the matter?"

Harry pointed to the fountain and said, "I saw coins at the bottom of the pool, and I want to throw a few in."

Kevin laughed when he heard this, and said, "Okay! But I think it should be after we come out, and the Ministry of Magic won't expel us, then it won't be too late for us to flip a coin."
