The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]
Chapter 3 The State of the Wizarding World in America
"A Blake?"
"Yes, Blake." Danny showed a slight smile, and turned to look at the lady standing aside, "Cousin Narcissa, you probably don't recognize me?"
"You are..." Narcissa was taken aback for a moment.At this time, she really raised her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her.The familiar silhouette and hair color are unique to the Black family.But judging from his age, he seemed to be a little younger than both Sirius and Regulus.
She thought carefully about her brothers and sisters who were about the same age as her. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out which one of her relatives lived in the wizarding world in the United States.
"My father is Alphard. That's why I call you cousin Narcissa. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since my father was dismissed."
Seeing Narcissa's troubled look, Danny smiled casually and introduced himself easily.
Narcissa was very surprised. Since Uncle Alphard gave all his property to Sirius to support his rebellious behavior, he was expelled from the Black family and has never been seen since.
Unexpectedly, he came to the United States.
Moreover, judging by the age of this cousin, it really doesn't look like he was born after he first arrived in the United States, he should be earlier...
The Black family didn't have any impression or news about it?
Narcissa was very surprised by this, but then she thought that in her impression, that Uncle Alphad had always been a representative of eccentricities... It didn't seem so strange.
Alphard moved away from the Blacks as soon as he graduated from Hogwarts.He has been living alone for many years, and only heard vague mentions from his elders that he seems to be quite good at business.
"Forgive me, who is your mother...?" Narcissa couldn't help asking. Now that the Black family is declining, she is actually very happy to meet her relatives, but worried that the child's mother is a Muggle or half-blood.
(This possibility may be extremely high, Narcissa thought to herself: Otherwise, why didn’t the family even be informed about the birth of the child?)
But the always pure Black family is not willing to compromise easily even if they are at the end of the road.
"My mother is Italian. She has a little ability, but she is a strong woman. She doesn't like pregnancy. She thinks that pregnancy will make her weak. Moreover, she has no patience to raise children, so after giving birth to me, she put me away. I threw it to my dad and ran back to work by myself."
Danny blinked happily, as if he didn't mind his mother's dislike at all, instead he said with a smile, "My dad raised me alone, he is really very enlightened and a fashionable person who keeps pace with the times. But... talk here It's a bit inconvenient, do you mind if I visit your temporary residence in the United States?"
I still don't know exactly what kind of woman Uncle Alphard found as his wife... but 'a bit capable'?
Narcissa hesitated for a while, but she still turned her head to look at her husband in response to the request of 'being a guest'.
Lucius stroked the staff lightly, his cold gray-blue eyes rolled slightly.
The Platinum family is rooted in England, and he doesn't know much about the American wizarding world, so he still can't fully judge what kind of impact he will have if he contacts this young wizard in the American wizarding world.
As for the bloodline issue that Narcissa was worried about, in his opinion, it was just a small and innocuous issue.
If this 'cousin' can gain a firm foothold in the wizarding world of America, what does it matter if his mother is a Muggle?Interests should come first.
Although the situation is unclear now, life occasionally needs a little bit of innocuous challenge.
So, Lucius nodded slightly, showing a polite smile that seemed friendly but actually had a distance, "Of course, Narcissa's cousin is my cousin."
Immediately afterwards, the Platinum couple refused Danny's request to call a taxi. They frowned and looked at the American wizard in front of them with an incomprehensible expression, "Excuse me, you are a wizard."
"I just don't want to attract attention...Okay! Okay! Apparate?" Danny said resignedly.
Only then did the platinum couple show satisfied expressions.
The three returned to the villa Garcia called 'strange'.
"How is Uncle Alphard?"
With the support of her husband, Narcissa, who seldom saw her relatives, took out her cherished tea set and entertained this young cousin without hesitation.
She treated her relatives so tenderly, she looked completely different from the arrogant lady sitting in the police station.
Nobles always have two faces.
Although Danny is not used to this, he is used to it.
Lucius was crossing his legs, leaning on a corner of the sofa with a leisurely expression. On the table in front of him was a stack of newspapers and a pile of letters sent from nowhere.
He casually picked and picked from them, looked for something he was interested in, and thoughtfully and gentlemanly left enough space and time for his wife, so that she could have a quiet time with her cousin whom she had never met. conversation environment.
"Dad passed away many years ago. I had Aunt Walbuga the Owl and Uncle Signus at the time, but neither of them replied to me... Probably the Black family has never been willing to accept him again." Danny blinked him Blue eyes, very calm answer.
Narcissa was silent for a while, as if she didn't know what to say.
Compared with those relatives who were expelled because of being close to Muggles or confusing blood, Uncle Alphard was expelled just because he rescued Sirius. It really seemed that this punishment was too severe.
"These years, have you been doing well?" Narcissa subconsciously avoided the previous topic of delisting, and instead tried to find out about the other party's situation. Of course, her tone and words were extremely tactful.
She said, "I mean, Danny, did anything about me and Lucius give you a hard time?"
"Just follow the rules."
There was a calm smile in Danny Black's blue eyes. He didn't care about Narcissa's temptation, but instead took the initiative to mention the situation of the American wizarding world.
"In fact, the American wizarding world is not the same as the British wizarding world. There are no nobles, no classes, and only federal laws. For example, the problems you encountered this time, I probably need to write a long report to the US government, Explain and explain the problem... Of course, cousin Narcissa and brother-in-law Lucius, I sincerely hope that next time you come to the United States, you will say hello in advance. Or make a record with the International Ministry of Magic or something, don't It’s already illegal to go through that special passage for nobles.”
Danny said helplessly, "Last year, the United States set up warning facilities in this area throughout the country. No matter what method is used, as long as there is no record, as soon as you set foot on the border of the United States, you will touch the magic barrier... Well, we call it the magic net. In short, you will be discovered by law enforcement agencies very quickly. In fact, the two FBIs yesterday were right. What you are doing is indeed illegal entry and smuggling... In fact, if nothing happens Well, most of the time, we'll turn a blind eye. But when things go wrong...God, we'll be laughed at by the rest of the government for lax management."
"What does this mean?" Narcissa's eyes widened in surprise, "When did wizards need to be reported to Muggles? Still being laughed at? What's going on with the government? What about the US Ministry of Magic? How could they allow this?" The privileges of the nobility have been violated?"
"Well, to be precise, there is no Ministry of Magic in the United States. There is only one government in the United States, and the Constitution states that the government has sole legality." Danny replied with a smile, "However, in order to contact the Ministry of Magic of various countries, the government has set up a special department For us, it's called 'Wizards' External Relations Department', and everyone thinks it's pretty good. Most of the people in the department work part-time, but because of the good pay, many wizards like this job... Well, we have to admit, most wizards The world is very closed, and it is difficult to see foreign wizards coming here, so, in general, there are very few affairs."
"Merlin, how do you allow it?"
Narcissa was stunned, she covered her mouth with her hands, "You are actually reduced to be ruled by Muggles?"
Even Lucius, who had been sitting aside pretending to read the newspaper, turned around involuntarily and looked at Danny in shock.
"Because we're endangered, because we need protection."
Danny Black said eloquently and impassionedly, "Although we wizards are small in number, we are also part of the United States. We are also citizens, and we also need human rights and voting rights. We demand not to be discriminated against. Why should we be excluded? We Going to run for election, running for governor this year, next year we're going to run for president, we..."
However, the expressions of Lucius and Narcissa at this moment were simply indescribable, as if they had accidentally swallowed a slug.
What the hell is he talking about?Wizard, or unicorn?
Also, since when did wizards need to be upheld by Muggles?Wizards are going to be the heads of Muggles?
Isn't this cousin's head broken?
Danny looked at the displeased expressions of the Platinum couple, and felt embarrassed for a while.
At the same time, the Washington Police Department,
The BAU team did a new round of profiling. Based on the data collected by JJ on a series of violent activities, they quickly deduced that there were three suspects, all of whom were white men, all of whom should be over six feet tall, single, and poorly educated. Low, living in poverty, hating the rich, there should have been an irritating incident recently.Maybe it's about to face layoffs, maybe it's being treated unfairly or unequally, or maybe it's being oppressed by rich people.
"Then, think about it again." Dr. Reid twirled the pen nimbly with his fingers, "Who is it, what is the occupation, so that the victim did not take any precautionary measures at night at around ten o'clock in the evening, and took the initiative without any precautions?" open the door?"
"Child, acquaintance?" Emily whispered to herself, "No..."
"It's a courier." Morgan said suddenly, "It's a courier, that's right! Garcia, help me check the couriers in this area. Are there any couriers in groups of three or four? They either work together or living together."
"Of course, Garcia is at your service anytime... I'll give you some more details and let me sort them out."
"In the courier industry, Caucasians should be between 25 and [-] years old, born in poverty, have low education, have destroyed records of public property, and their activities are mainly in the Washington xxxxxx area."
Little Dr. Rhett reported a series of information very quickly.
"OK, white male, aged between 25 and [-], born in poverty, low education level, criminal record of destroying public property... Working in the express delivery industry, this is really super simple... The address has been sent, please check."
With the cheerful voice of the Queen of Technology accompanied by the sound of crackling keyboards, three couriers who fit the profile were quickly screened out.
"Thank you, Garcia." Morgan hung up the phone and exchanged glances with Hodge, "Let's go."
The BAU group set off in a hurry.
"Yes, Blake." Danny showed a slight smile, and turned to look at the lady standing aside, "Cousin Narcissa, you probably don't recognize me?"
"You are..." Narcissa was taken aback for a moment.At this time, she really raised her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her.The familiar silhouette and hair color are unique to the Black family.But judging from his age, he seemed to be a little younger than both Sirius and Regulus.
