The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

Chapter 10 The Daily Life of Wizards - The Banquet

"The Ministry of Magic has gone crazy recently." Abbott Burst muttered, "The number of prohibited items has increased, and even the soundless bird has been added to the C-type trade prohibited items. I I really don't understand where such a tame, non-aggressive bird needs to be banned."

"Come on! We know why the Ministry of Magic banned it." said Stephen Blake, director of the International Magical Law Office, smoking a pipe. "Don't take everyone for fools, Ebout. , you kid did not miss out on gold Galleons. Although it is right to make money, sometimes you have to look at the timing. At this time, it is really not suitable for us to do too many actions. I have persuaded you a long time ago, Wipe your ass clean as soon as possible, before the Gryffindor Aurors get caught."

"Nonsense, what is smuggling? This is slander! What evidence do they have to prove that I am smuggling? No! So, I have always been law-abiding. What excuse do I have for them to arrest?"

Abbott Burst looked a little guilty, but soon he covered it up with a righteous and resentful tone.

Stephen Blake sneered, but he didn't point out his sternness.

Daniel, who stood aside, blinked his beautiful blue eyes, and secretly remembered the information that 'the deputy captain of the law enforcement police force, Ebt Burst, was suspected of smuggling the Sound Bird'.

"I've heard of the Soundbird, and it's really harmless. The laws of the British Ministry of Magic are so prudent."

He inserted into the conversation at the right time, sighed, and said again: "I'm in the United States, but I haven't seen such a cute little animal like a soundless bird, only Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor and so on."

Abbott Boster turned around without interest, and took a big sip of wine from his glass.

"Sounds very interesting. Mr. Black, excuse me, I just heard Mrs. Malfoy introduce you, saying that you are from the United States?"

Stephen Blake gave a face-saving smile. The way he wore the wizard's robe was more rigorous, and the buttons were tightly buttoned from top to bottom. Since his occupation is the International Magic Law Office, he can understand a little bit. People who practice law, no matter Muggles or wizards, have fixed routines, super memory and strong logical thinking ability.

Daniel smiled, "Yeah, I grew up in the United States." He rolled his eyes, and then introduced himself, "I work for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Liaison of the United States Department of Magic."

He was smart enough not to say that he was only an occasional 'part-time job'. After all, an official status could properly increase his bargaining chips.

"External Liaison Department? Can you tell me, where is the contact?" John Puse, the director of the International Magic Transportation Department, suddenly interjected in a questioning tone, "The last time the International Union was held in France Yes, but did not see the American seat."

"The composition of the American magic world is relatively complicated." Daniel was not asked, and he explained with a smile: "In other words, the magic world over there is not all composed of wizards, but also includes some special people from other witchcraft systems. , For example, pharaohs, priests, and mutants in Egypt... Uh, you can understand them as magical creatures. Therefore, we generally do not take the initiative to participate in gatherings of pure wizards. Of course, if necessary in the future, we are also willing to strengthen and Connections to other countries, such as those present here."

He cleverly flattered, "Britain has a long-standing pure-blood wizarding family, which enjoys a high international reputation and should be respected by all people in the magic world."

The wizards and nobles present here are all comfortably flattered by this just-right flattery, and nothing can move their hearts more than touting their family and pure blood.

What's more, this American wizard who came from afar may be the one who will inherit the Black family in the future!

That was a great aristocrat in the British wizarding world.

After (thinking) they understood Daniel's position, everyone showed a friendly face, "You are right, the history of pure blood is long and full of glory. Only those mud legs can forget the history, Tried to subvert."

"To the history of pure blood." Daniel smiled and raised his glass.

All the nobles raised their glasses subconsciously, "To the history of pure blood."

Narcissa, who also raised her glass, lowered her head and took a sip of the red wine. A smile of initial satisfaction appeared on her beautiful face, "Thank you, Lucius."

"You're welcome, dear." Lucius chuckled, "Your cousin looks careless, but fortunately, he's not reckless, and he's smart enough. Congratulations, there's finally a successor to the Black family."

Narcissa smiled proudly.

While the Malfoys were lowering their heads and talking in a low voice, Daniel had successfully grasped the rhythm of the conversation.

It's very simple... It's much simpler than the countless unlimited variety shows in the United States that he participated in. At least this group of nobles, out of face, would not let him perform mechanical dances on the spot.

"... an island, where dinosaurs live, and there are all kinds of dinosaurs, such as a triceratops that is as long as a rhinoceros, a stegosaurus that weighs five tons, and a pterosaur that can fly. Of course, I like it the most. The most lethal Tyrannosaurus rex and Mosasaurus... When I visited for the first time, Mosasaurus came out of the water, because it was too close, Merlin was splashed with water..."

Daniel happily described the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

Abbott Boster, who was suspected of smuggling the Soundbird, was so engrossed in listening at this time that he even took the initiative to ask, "Did you just talk about visiting?"

"Yes, that's right, visit. It's a large theme park secretly run by the US Department of Magic." Daniel replied, "That thing made us a lot of money. Last year, most of the funds for the US Department of Magic came from The entrance fee for this theme park...Unfortunately, those idiots screwed up, because of poor supervision, the Tyrannosaurus rex ran out and swallowed a few people, so it has been closing down for rectification recently..."

"Ah!" The ladies couldn't help covering their faces with their fans and exclaimed after hearing the word 'cannibalism'.

"The U.S. Ministry of Magic really knows how to play." Abbott Burst admits that he is not as fragile as a woman. He doesn't care much about the act of 'cannibalism' at all, and only cares about what Daniel said is 'very profitable' I feel 12 points of care.

"Mr. Black, do you think if I open a park with the soundless bird, will someone pay for the entrance fee?"

"You can try it." Daniel rolled his eyes slyly and encouraged him with a smile.

But he didn't reveal that one of the biggest reasons for the success of 'Jurassic Park' is that the people who come to visit are all Muggles.

For most wizards, although they have never seen Fantastic Beasts with their own eyes, Hogwarts has taught "Fantastic Beasts" courses, so the desire to see animals may not be so strong, only the group full of Muggles who explore consciousness are full of enthusiasm for activities that can visit magical animals, and are more willing to spend money.

But this fact, he didn't feel the need to tell a British, old-fashioned, pure-blood wizard who discriminated against Muggles.

Anyway, if this guy really runs to open the Juanyin Bird Park, there will always be a way to let this 'Golden Galleon Supreme' guy open the park to the Muggle society.

Daniel had countless small calculations in his mind, but he continued without showing any emotion on his face.While flattering Ebt Burst's brilliant idea of ​​'unrivaled in the world', he talked about different kinds of dinosaurs with a few curious ladies around him.

By the end of the dinner, this wizard from America had already won the friendship of many British wizard nobles.

Of course, if a conflict of interest is involved, this weak friendship is obviously not worth mentioning, but in the case of a joint interest, it seems that many people are willing to open the door for him.

Sending off the guests...

"Did you have fun?" Narcissa covered her lips with a fan and asked with a smile.

"I'm very happy, everyone is very interested in what I have to say." Daniel said proudly.

Narcissa smiled, noncommittal.

In fact, she also felt in her heart that her cousin's appearance today was not bad.

A pure-blood wizard from the United States who is not annoying, but refreshing, after finding a way to get back the property of the Black family that was confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, he will have a rich net worth... and all of these will be for Black. The rise of the family creates all the necessary conditions.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Lucius to lend you his study temporarily." Narcissa quickly recovered her sternness, and she said lightly, "Daniel, you must send the last five years of "Daily Prophet" and "Prophecy I hope you understand every current event in Britain, as well as common sense in the fields of economy, politics, and culture. Even if you are not proficient, you should know the general idea. At least the next time you communicate with people, don’t I will only rely on those new gadgets in the American wizarding world to find topics."

"It's scary, it feels like the pre-final exam," Daniel complained, with a quick look of annoyance, "I'd rather fight a T-Rex."

"My dear cousin, after you finish what you need to do, you can go to... have a good time at any time." Narcissa smiled gently.
