The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

In Malfoy Manor, the house elf put a pile of letters and newspapers from different places on the table.

Lucius Malfoy glanced casually, picked out a few more important ones, picked them up to have a look, and said to Daniel Blake who came to visit early in the morning: "Sirius really can't make a sound, it's a blockbuster!" !"

"He has always acted unexpectedly." Daniel replied, "I originally thought that Fudge would jump around for a while and help me attract attention in front of the stage, but it doesn't matter. Now the crowd is a bunch of 'let him The call to step down', I really think it can be used."

"What?" Lucius asked knowingly instantly, "Do you have a favorite candidate for the Minister of Magic?"

"The British government prefers Kingsley Shacklebolt." Daniel's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about a very common thing.

But Lucius Malfoy was really taken aback: "Kingsley of the Shacklebolt family is actually a member of the British government?"

Daniel nodded silently.

If it wasn't for the nonchalant mention of this deeply buried dark chess piece this time, even Daniel would not have guessed it.

At the same time, Daniel once again confirmed a guess in his mind: the British government had long planned for the wizarding world.

Therefore, if he did not disturb the pool of water himself, there would be other people who would infiltrate and assimilate the wizarding world in different ways.

Because Kingsley Shacklebolt is not an ordinary character. He was a core member of the Order of the Phoenix in the plot where Daniel Butterfly had already lost him. He was the Minister of Magic who succeeded after the Savior defeated Voldemort.

Regardless of the plot, just talking about the present, he is not an ordinary wizard from an ordinary wizard family.

The Schalke family he was born in was, like the Malfoy family, listed among the 28 sacred families, a pure-blood wizard family with ancient inheritance, and a top-ranked family of pure-blood wizards, but it has gradually declined in recent years.

As for Kingsley Shacklebolt, the current head of the Shacklebolt family, he has been missing since graduating from Hogwarts.A gossip from the Ministry of Magic once said: 'He was sent undercover to the British Muggle Prime Minister'.

But in fact, in the eyes of wizards who generally looked down on Muggles at the time, going undercover to Muggles was tantamount to being exiled from the power center of the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Lucius has never cared about such a 'little man' from a declining pure-blood family.

However, since the Muggle government prefers him to be the next Minister of Magic.

Well, this means that this mysterious and low-key Shacklebolt must have had a relationship with the Muggle government a long time ago, maybe even earlier than Malfoy, and was even very trusted.

These things, just a few words, have already passed through Lucius' mind.

Then, he raised his head in surprise, and asked hesitantly, "How could you... suddenly leak information about the Muggles to me?"

"I knew it." Hearing such a sentence, Daniel laughed instead.

He pretended to be surprised and said, "Lucius, you...have you regarded me as a member of the British government?"

"Isn't it?" Lucius Malfoy asked directly.

He looked quite emotional, because in a short period of time, the relationship between the two people changed again and again.

From "wife who needs help and support and the sole heir of her mother's family" to "wizard allies who have the same status and interests as me", and then to "has Muggle connections, wizards and Muggle contacts", Finally, it is "suspected to be an undercover agent sent by the British government to the wizarding world".

Daniel Blake, the impression in Lucius Malfoy's heart is constantly being updated.

Fortunately, Lucius was soberly aware that the interests of the two were always the same, so he didn't open his mouth to pierce the thin layer of paper.

But now, the other party seems to be confessing intentionally, so naturally he will not pretend to be ignorant.

"You have been promoting the integration of the Muggle and wizarding worlds. I'm not a fool. I can always guess something."

Lucius Malfoy said frankly: "In fact, it is not surprising that the British government has taken such a move. I have expected it a long time ago. But what can I do? Principal Dumbledore's position of protecting Muggles, I can't do it, the Gryffindor gang has a very bad relationship with me; the Dark Lord who agrees with me has cut his own soul to pieces... Can I just sit and wait to die? If it's just me, Then in this life, I can't compromise, but I still have Xiaolong..."

Lucius paused for a moment, a flash of tenderness quickly flashed across his face, and he said helplessly: "I still have Xiaolong and Sissy, I must let the Malfoy family always stand at the highest place, to protect them to have a happy life." life."

When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and a little disgusted attitude suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in a bad tone: "However, even if I cooperate with Muggles, I will never allow the Malfoy family to Bloodlines are confused."

Daniel was almost amused by his own brain supply, "You are thinking too far, Xiaolong is not even ten years old."

"People always think about the long-term, and can't just look at the short-term interests."

Lucius also realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly added another sentence in a serious manner.

"Okay, okay!" Daniel didn't want to argue with him about this.

He leaned back on the couch and continued: "Yes, I have been promoting the integration of Muggles and wizards, but this is because I think it is beneficial to the wizarding world. Excluding the issue of blood that you value, don't you Didn’t you feel it? In Diagon Alley, where Muggles and wizards live in harmony, is it more prosperous, more vibrant, and more progressive? Wizards can integrate into the whole society, there is no need to force yourself to be the center of the world But if this kind of long-term self-enclosure, even if it is not destroyed by external force, it will self-destruct and die, and I don’t want to see such a bleak end for Alphard’s hometown.”

"You don't need to explain. You have made everything a foregone conclusion, and I have negotiated cooperation with the government. Although I don't like these Muggles very much, considering that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, I will not blame you for concealing it. said Lucius quickly.

Then, he looked at the other party calmly, and said lightly: "So, dear Daniel, I don't think there is a need for explanation and discussion on this matter."

"No, it's not." There was a hint of worry in Daniel's blue eyes.

While thinking, he hesitated to express his thoughts: "Although the fusion of Muggles and wizards is imperative, it is completely in accordance with Mycroft's intention to gradually disintegrate the Ministry of Magic's rule over wizards. In the end, let wizards Belonging to the British government... I don't quite agree with it again."

"You are so contradictory." Lucius Malfoy showed an almost stunned expression, and he pretended to ask humbly, "Then what do you mean?"

"You have to leave some of your own power to the wizards."

Daniel said this sentence almost cautiously.

"You're asking for trouble." Lucius laughed all of a sudden, and criticized without the slightest hesitation.

He looked at Daniel with flickering eyes, and repeated, "Daniel, you are really asking for trouble. You are either on the side of wizards, or you are on the side of Muggles, trying to have both sides? This It's not a game! But in real life, the end of the sloppy will not be very good. Don't you know this?"

"Maybe...you will think I'm hypocritical." Daniel said a little tiredly, "The matter is already over."

His speech speed began to slow down, his expression seemed to be a little distracted, and he seemed to be recalling: "After we joined forces to persuade and win over a large number of ancient nobles in the wizarding world, and after the people adapted to the life integrated with Muggles, Fudge stepped down. Well, after changing to Shaker, whom the British government prefers, as long as I don’t bother with it, let the British government take advantage of the trend, and win over the wizarding world, I can already retire..."

"But, Lucius, who will protect the legal rights of wizards in the future?"

Lucius laughed almost sarcastically: "Merlin, Daniel, you actually talked to me about the rights of wizards? After you tried to promote the measures of the British government, you... actually turned to discuss the rights of wizards with me? "

"Alphad is a wizard, and I'm also half a wizard." Daniel pursed his lips and answered him seriously, "Lucius, I have to admit that my attitude towards the wizarding world at first was maybe... not so serious. But , During this period of time, whether it was the changes I made, or the future development of the wizarding world, I did it with the idea of ​​'hoping for a better wizarding world'. The wizarding world will not integrate with Muggles, sooner or later There will be bigger conflicts. But the wizarding world cannot be completely unprepared to be attributed to Muggles, and it may be used, deceived, and used as a weapon..."

Lucius fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a fleeting look of relief suddenly flashed across his face.

After a while, he suddenly stood up, walked over, and then bent down and hugged Daniel heavily.

This proud pure-blooded noble said in a very sincere tone: "This time, I finally really believe..."

He raised his head and smiled sincerely at Daniel, "I finally believe that you are not all Muggles. I have to thank you for living up to my trust."

Then, he returned to his seat and sat down again, and regained his previous calm expression: "Tell me what you want to do?"

Daniel smiled a little embarrassedly, and answered him: "Kingsley Shacklebolt is a good wizard, but his relationship with the British government is unknown, so I can't trust him."

He hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "What do you think of Sirius?"

"What?" Lucius looked over in rare surprise, "Sirius, what happened to him? Merlin..."

He thought of a possibility, and exclaimed in astonishment: "You want to recommend him to be a minister? This is really... a fantastic idea."

"Even if the wizarding world and Muggles finally merge, this process will take at least 20 to [-] years. In this transitional stage, the Ministry of Magic cannot collapse. Even if it belongs to the British government, there must be a leader who fights for the rights of wizards." , to negotiate with the British government. Sirius...Although he has a bad temper, he is absolutely fine..."

Daniel smiled optimistically and said, "But it will be no problem to find a few more stable deputy ministers. You can see how sharp-tongued he was when he scolded Fudge yesterday."

"I don't know how quick-spoken he is. I only know that he has no other intentions. He just wants to scold and vent his dissatisfaction." Lucius replied blankly, and then asked with a rather complicated expression: "Did you tell him? He said yes?"

"I haven't said that, but...Gryffindor!" Daniel said very confidently: "As long as you fool around a bit, and then flatter you, it's fine. What's more, as long as you don't object, Deng Principal Bullido's Order of the Phoenix should also choose to support him, and I will help him promote more, given the messy situation of the Ministry of Magic, it is still very easy to get a position."

"When he comes to power, I really don't see any hope for the wizarding world." Lucius sighed pretendingly.

But thinking about it carefully, as far as the wizarding world is concerned, Sirius was born in the Slytherin family, but the school he graduated from was Gryffindor. He used to have an unflattering background, but now it has become a natural advantage.

The relationship between Muggles and wizards is thanks to Daniel Blake. Sirius does not reject Muggles, but his attitude towards joining the British government is always so-so.

If he could become the minister of the Ministry of Magic, he would be able to act as a force in the wizarding world and join forces with Lucius and other Slytherin nobles who had mixed into the political circle of the British government.

As for whether he wants to...

Daniel felt: "It's already such a big age, don't play around all day, you have to do something serious."

So, after much deliberation, Sirius turned out to be a very suitable candidate.

So, Lucius couldn't help gloating: "It looks pretty good. A guy who even throws the burden of the family at the younger brother, but in the end, he shoulders the burden of the entire wizarding world... Walter, aunt and the others, must be Will smile with joy in heaven."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and agreed to finalize the matter.

Mycroft was not surprised by Daniel's choice.

He said frankly in a very rare way: "Daniel, you are not the kind of subordinate that the general boss likes. You make your own opinions and have too much self-thinking. When you are told to do something, you never think about it." how' and always ask 'why' first."

"It's hard to do..." Daniel smiled awkwardly, "So I said from the beginning, you chose the wrong person."

"On the contrary." Mycroft laughed, "When many people carry out orders, they ignore that wizards also belong to the United Kingdom, and they are part of the United Kingdom. I never wanted to achieve my goal in any way that hurt one side. Experienced people may take a series of actions such as provoking civil strife and taking advantage of the fire to wear down the vitality of the wizarding world, and then subdue them in troubled waters. Only you, Daniel, are the only ones who have thought of development and integration."

"My evaluation of your mission is still..." Mycroft said with a smile, "It's beyond imagination."

"It's really..." Daniel tilted his head, trying to hide his hot cheeks, "Thank you."

He didn't expect to be praised like this. He was a little embarrassed and randomly searched for topics: "Actually... I didn't handle the matter of Moriarty well... He escaped from the Ministry of Magic not long ago..."

"That dangerous person, don't worry about him for now." Mycroft frowned slightly, and said with some concern: "He met Xiali again not long ago..."

At the mention of his brother Sherlock, he almost subconsciously stopped.

Then, he also changed the subject: "Nick Fury has been asking me for someone recently."

"What?" Daniel was a little confused.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is in such a big mess." Mycroft raised his eyebrows and said, "He needs manpower urgently and wants to transfer you back to the United States."

He took out a document from the drawer, handed it over and said, "This is the relevant document he faxed..."

When Daniel reached out to pick it up, he did not let go, but said again: "Of course, I am also very satisfied with you. After the wizarding world is over, you can choose freely to stay in the UK; or, return to the United States , to accept another mission from Nick Fury."

"Wait...wait! No!"

Daniel blinked his blue eyes, and suddenly called out: "Shouldn't I go back to the United States and continue my job—a career as a great magician? Why did you only give me these two options?"

"Daniel, I can't bear to tell you."

Mycroft looked at him sympathetically, "After a wizard in England officially appeared in people's sights, do you think 'your half-baked magic career maintained by transfiguration' has any future prospects?"

Daniel froze on the spot.

"I'm sorry to tell you: If you don't change jobs, you will soon face unemployment."

McCoff admired his bewildered expression with great interest, and joked in a good mood, "What do you plan to do in the future? Partner with that American Spider-Man to sell hot dogs on the street?"

The author has something to say: [Note 1] The plot of Kingsley Shacklebolt was fabricated by me and should not be verified, but in the original book, he did work beside the British Prime Minister for a period of time.
