[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

Chapter 73 Negotiations

Dumbledore tried to ease the atmosphere and relieve Aurora, "Gellert, don't be so serious."

"Albus, you have to believe that I won't do anything to the person you brought, and I don't bother to do anything to an underage wizard. I think Christie should be friends with Miss Holmes. You see, she is not in a hurry .” Grindelwald stopped Dumbledore from helping.

Christie glanced at Grindelwald, who was confident that he could overwhelm Aurora in terms of momentum, and thought silently, no, I just believe that Aurora, a little fox, is more capable of fooling around than you!And you can't beat her!

Aurora showed a soothing expression to Dumbledore, "Principal Dumbledore, please trust me. And this question is not only asked by Mr. Grindelwald."

Aurora's pointed words reminded Dumbledore of the Minister of Magic, Fudge, who was persuaded and tough to demand compensation in his office, and Lucius, the head of the Malfoy family, who was pure-blooded and supreme. The first person who agreed to cooperate with McCoff without anyone knowing.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore relaxed. Everyone in the Holmes family should not be underestimated. If they really can't reach an agreement later, he will just help.

"Okay, let's talk." Dumbledore made a gesture of surrender, indicating that he would not interrupt.

Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore. He didn't expect him to believe in Aurora's ability so much. Looking at himself, he seemed to underestimate Holmes, "Miss Holmes, you are not the only one who asked me what this question is. mean?"

This remark sounded a little probing. Aurora squinted her eyes to think about the meaning of Grindelwald's words, and her answer did not reveal any information, "It means that there are other people who have asked me, the so-called ' Pushing the wizarding world towards the Muggle world's understanding of 'how it works'."

How to operate?This sounds like more cooperation than opposition...

"Oh? Miss Holmes, I wonder if I can know who has the same question as me?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows a little.

"Until you have no intention of cooperating, I will not disclose any of my allies." Aurora gave Grindelwald a standard smile.

"Oh? What Miss Holmes means is that there are a lot of wizards working with you?" Grindelwald asked lightly, his face was calm without any expression, only his hands on his stomach showed some clues .

The index finger of Grindelwald's right hand kept tapping lightly, showing his inner unrest.

Grindelwald does not deny that one of the reasons why he wanted to lead wizards to rule Muggles was to discover the potential of Muggles to study technological weapons.The previous weapons could not pose any threat to wizards, but decades have passed. Judging from the information submitted by their subordinates, the technology and weapons of Muggles are changing with each passing day, but the impression of wizards on Muggles is still stay in the past.

If in the past, Muggles discovered the existence of wizards and harbored malice, but wizards did not have any preparations and protective measures, once a war broke out between Muggles and wizards, the loser would definitely be wizards...

"Miss Holmes, I don't know what the content of the cooperation you are talking about?" Grindelwald thought about the possibility of cooperation.

"Did you know that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts in the second half of the year?" Aurora asked.

Grindelwald nodded. He had indeed received news from the German Ministry of Magic that the Triwizard Tournament would be held again in England, and the Durmstrang School of Magic was already selecting candidates for the Warrior.

"Mr. Grindelwald is really well-informed." Aurora praised Grindelwald, "Our British Ministry of Magic will hold a wizarding cultural festival in the second half of the year. It would be great if we can cooperate with your country."

Grindelwald said inexplicably: "Wizard Culture Festival, your British Ministry of Magic agreed?" It seems that the British Ministry of Magic is also one of their allies...

Aurora raised her eyebrows, and it's not surprising that Grindelwald could hear something from her words. After all, the Dark Lord who swept across Europe decades ago and still has a deep influence is not easy. "Wizards' activities are naturally magic Department is responsible."

"I don't think this cultural festival has anything to do with wizards' understanding of Muggles. You need to cooperate with Germany to hold a cultural festival and just ask the head of your Ministry of Magic to find the German Ministry of Magic. You don't need to go my way." Grinder Wo unceremoniously pointed out Aurora's concealment.

"Of course, if our cooperation goes well, the cultural festival is just incidental." Aurora didn't mind Grindelwald's tone, "Wizards have a deep-rooted impression of Muggles, and even some wizards look down on Muggles and their products. We must first What we do is to make wizards accept Muggles, so that they can understand each other's ideas."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I opened a movie theater in Hogsmeade, England, and it shows films made by Muggles. If you can't change the minds of adult wizards, then you can change the minds of their children. It happens that children are the most receptive to new things. .”

"Hogsmeade...is it near Hogwarts, I remember?"

"Yes, this way, students will have more entertainment in their spare time. If they watch more Muggle movies, they will naturally be able to accept Muggle culture. Moreover, this reform was first proposed by the United Kingdom. See our determination and action."

Grindelwald can be considered to have reacted. Aurora went around in a big circle, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Muggles and wizards, and secretly revealing that she has many allies. It turns out that her ultimate goal of cooperating with herself is to let Germany do ally.No wonder she would come to her and let the wizarding world know about Muggles. The German Ministry of Magic will definitely have a lot of opposition. Even if they wait for cooperation, they will have to wait for a year and a half.

Aurora's decision to cooperate with Grindelwald also has her considerations. Just as Grindelwald thought, it would not be possible to cooperate directly with the German Magic Club in the short term, but Grindelwald is different. He was imprisoned in Nurmengard, but as long as he wanted, he could leave at any time, and there were not a few families who supported him, and his subordinates were also many capable people.

What caught Aurora's fancy the most was that, according to her analysis, Grindelwald had a lot of authority in the German Ministry of Magic.It is better to find a strong ally than to let Britain complete the reform first, and then be besieged by other countries later.

Grindelwald said with mixed feelings: "Your plans are not small. For such an important matter, the British Muggle government sent you an underage girl. Aren't you afraid that people will think that you despise each other too much?"

Probably Dumbledore thought that Grindelwald would agree to the cooperation that Aurora said, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Gellert, don't underestimate the underage girl Aurora, her ability is amazing. A lot of adults can't match that."

Aurora also smiled and said: "As long as they are not too stupid, people will not think that people who can represent a government can be ignored by them at will."

That's right, the other party can be sent out to negotiate with peace of mind without being an adult. Isn't this more indicative of her ability?

But Grindelwald couldn't say these words, "Miss Holmes, your smile is much more sincere now." Unlike the previous smile, the elegance and standard make people with a discerning eye see the alienation. Don't mind the compliments.

"This is the difference between our own people and outsiders." Aurora talked about the business, "Mr. Grindelwald, if you have no problem here, then Barty Crouch, Director of the International Magic Cooperation Department of the British Ministry of Magic, I will come to the Ministry of Magic of your country to discuss matters related to the cultural exchange festival in the near future."

Grindelwald waved his hand, "That's no problem. Since the Triwizard Tournament is going to be held, the Cultural Exchange Festival is also a one-sentence matter. We still have to discuss how to arrange the Muggle part."

Aurora smiled at Grindelwald, "I will trouble you to discuss this with my elder brother Mycroft Holmes in person. I am ashamed to say that perhaps my elder brother thinks that I am undecided, so I am not responsible for promoting the contents of the reform. .”

Grindelwald said angrily: "Then what are you responsible for? You can come to me to negotiate on behalf of the British Muggle government, and now you say that you are not responsible for what we just negotiated?!"

"Probably diplomacy and lobbying?" Aurora said uncertainly. When she helped McCaw formulate the plan, she was a bit involved in everything, but she really didn't know the specific arrangement. After all, these issues related to politics and the interests of all parties McCaw Husband said she didn't need to think about it.

Dumbledore made a relief, "Gellert, Aurora's studies are relatively heavy, and McCoff also arranged Muggle studies for her, so she is irresponsible for these."

Grindelwald nodded, indicating that he understood, "Since the cooperation is confirmed, I would like to ask why you chose me as a collaborator. You must know that what I did back then is not comparable to your Voldemort."

"I can answer this question!" Christie raised her paw and said to Grindelwald who was looking over, "Strength is not original sin!"

"I never thought that magic with a strong attack power should be called black magic. There is no right or wrong in power, it just depends on how people use it." Aurora continued on Christie's words: "Compared to being In the eyes of the people, I would rather be a good guy who is proficient in attack but can protect his family, friends and himself in the face of the enemy's 'bad guy'."

It is a rare person who understands, Grindelwald chuckled lightly.

Grindelwald suggested, "Since you've come to Germany, let's stay and play for a few more days. I'll cover all the expenses for the tour. If you need a guide, I can arrange for my subordinates to accompany you."

Aurora and Christie glanced at each other. Although they both felt that Grindelwald's proposal was to allow Dumbledore to stay for a few more days, since he said so, they were almost rude.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
