Hogwarts God of Ice and Fire

Chapter 767: The precarious magical world and the international law of secrecy that is no longer con

Soon, it was the third year since the end of the Goblin Rebellion and the withdrawal of MACUSA.

With the arrival of July, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also welcomed the summer vacation of this year. More than fifty young wizards in the DA army reserve became official soldiers of the British wizarding world, and more young wizards returned home happily.

On this day that should have been filled with laughter and joy, the Auror office was filled with a tense atmosphere, and every Auror's nerves were on edge.

"Director! Aurors are seriously understaffed and need reinforcements urgently!"

A new Auror who had only been in the Auror Office for less than a year hurried into the Auror Office and said to Scrimgeour.

During these three years, the Auror Office had expanded its staff several times, and a large number of members of the DA Army's regular forces also served as Aurors, which increased the number of Aurors in the Auror Office to more than two thousand.

But even so, the things that have been happening continuously over the past year or two have still put a lot of pressure on the Auror Office. They are understaffed, far from enough!

Scrimgeour stood up and looked at the new Auror, frowning slightly. "What's going on?"

The new Auror said anxiously, "It's very urgent! Two leaks occurred near London in just three days. Three Muggles witnessed wizards casting spells!"

"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the three Muggles reported everything they saw to the London Police Department. Those bastard Muggle police retrieved the surveillance footage of the scene and uploaded the process of the wizard casting spells in the surveillance footage to the so-called Internet for Muggles!"

"According to intelligence provided by colleagues from the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, the Accidental Magic Reversal Team, and the Memory Deletion Command, more than three thousand Muggles have viewed the relevant surveillance videos on the Internet! This number is still increasing rapidly, and this is just the leaks that occurred in the past three days!"

"We had to contact the Muggle Prime Minister, hoping that they would set up a department to supervise the network and facilitate the deletion of our memories. But even so, we still don't have enough manpower! The frequency of leaks and the difficulty of covering up are rising sharply!"

The new Auror said so.

According to the original historical trajectory, the British Muggle community should have established a cyber police force in 2001. However, due to the frequent leaks in the wizarding world, this process was brought forward by two years following negotiations between the Ministry of Magic and the British Muggle Prime Minister.

Scrimgeour's frown deepened.

Muggles invented surveillance more than 20 years ago, but the Ministry of Magic at that time didn't care about it. In their opinion, they just needed to delete the surveillance and erase the memories of those who had watched it.

But now, with the popularization of the Internet in the UK, everyone can upload their videos to the Internet for more people to watch.

When seeing something magical and incredible like magic, the first reaction of most British people is to take a picture of it and post it on the Internet!

This is a good thing in the Muggle world, but for the Ministry of Magic of various countries, it makes them feel miserable.

The existence of the Internet has made it increasingly difficult for wizards to maintain international confidentiality laws. It is not just the British wizarding community that suffers from the Internet, but the wizarding community in all developed countries and technologically advanced countries around the world!

Wizards have taken great pains to erase the memories of Muggles, but their actions are like adding fuel to the fire. Not only can they not completely solve the problem of the International Statute of Secrecy, but they will suffer even greater backlash when the day comes when the wizarding world is completely exposed!

Under this situation, wizards in various countries' magical communities have proposed the idea of ​​abolishing the International Statute of Secrecy.

Today's international laws of secrecy have made it impossible for wizards to survive in Muggle society, and under surveillance and the Internet, the magical world will be exposed. Wizards will no longer be able to hide themselves, let alone keep secrets.

The call for abolishing the International Statute of Secrecy is growing louder and louder, and the Ministries of Magic in various countries are secretly discussing the relevant issue, that is, whether the International Statute of Secrecy should be abolished or retained, with the exception of one magical community.

That is the American wizarding world. Unlike the Ministries of Magic in other countries which have connections with Muggle leaders of various countries, the MACUSA has absolutely no connection with Muggles, or as American wizards say, they have no connection with the No-Maj government.

Due to historical issues left over from the founding of MACUSA, there has always been a hostile relationship between MACUSA and No-Maj, which makes it impossible for the two to establish any cooperation.

The Magical Congress of the United States, which is unable to cooperate with the local No-Maj government, will naturally not agree to the draft to abolish the International Statute of Secrecy, because that will mean that the American wizarding community will become the target of public criticism.

Their inability to cooperate with Muggles means that they will lack a huge advantage compared to the wizarding world of other countries, which is something that the self-respecting MACUSA cannot tolerate.

Facing the calls from the country's wizarding community, the MACUSA adopted a method of suppression, that is, arresting all wizards who called for "abolition of the International Statute of Secrecy" and punishing them!

The overbearing behavior of the MACUSA caused dissatisfaction among local wizards and the surrounding magical community, but because the MACUSA controlled a mechanical army of as many as 10,000 people, no one dared to openly oppose the policies of the MACUSA.

After all, for now, the measures taken by the Magical Congress of the United States of America are only used for local wizards, unlike the No-Maj government, which uses its own laws to govern the affairs of other countries.

Since the MACUSA has not affected its own wizarding community, the surrounding Ministries of Magic have naturally chosen to stand idly by. The only ones who have put up a strong resistance are perhaps some local wizarding groups in the American wizarding community.

However, this is limited to the attitude of the Magical Congress of the United States towards the people who speak out.

However, at the meeting of the International Confederation of Wizards, the attitude of the representatives of the United States Magical Congress was as tough as ever. They firmly opposed the proposal to abolish international law.

To this end, they did not hesitate to threaten the Ministries of Magic of those small countries with interests or even force, demanding that they join them in opposing the proposal to abolish the International Statute of Secrecy.

These are all things for later.

Scrimgeour looked at the new Auror in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Report this matter to Minister Crouch. We need the assistance of the Muggle Prime Minister, and Minister Crouch is the only one who can meet with the Muggle Prime Minister directly."

"If we want to erase the memories of all the Muggles who have seen this surveillance video, we must find their addresses through the Internet, and that can only be done by the newly established Internet Police Department of the Muggle Government."

Scrimgeour said so.
