[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

At the end of August [-], a week after the last Voldemort devoured all his brothers, the Ministry of Magic of the Twelve Kingdoms jointly issued a brand new decree.

The Wizarding and Muggle Relatives Act.

This law, which is ridiculous and outrageous from its name, really attracted everyone's attention once it appeared.But it seems that it is impossible to say how big a wave was caused—from the British "Daily Prophet" to various other wizarding newspapers, they all mentioned this decree lightly, as if it was just like some trivial temporary notices, quietly Come and go silently, without leaving any traces, and without much impact on people.

One couldn't find any real-time opinion of the decree in any of the larger-circulation newspapers, except for surreptitious discussions among pubs.But this action was also quickly pressed, and some of the most excited people disappeared without a sound, leaving no trace.There is no public decree prohibiting people from talking about related content, but the freedom of speech is being reduced step by step, to the point that people can't even say the name of this decree directly, and when they mention it secretly, they can only use vague words "New Act" is referred to.

It seems to be no different from the code name of the mysterious person back then. History never shows anything new, and everything that seems to be familiar is repeated.

In the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, many copies of this brand new decree were placed in front of everyone.

"Ridiculous." Remus said emphatically, with an ugly expression on his face. "Look at what it says? Is Voldemort completely insane? It's hard to imagine that this is a new law issued by the wizarding world in [-]—what the hell is this?" Restraining whom? Is this the New World Order that Voldemort wants to enforce?"

The content of the entire decree was unbearable, everyone's eyes fell on the decree, and they were all a little silent.Although they knew early on that with official intervention, all actions would become difficult, but the severity of the matter still exceeded their expectations, and the reality was heading in a worse and worse direction.

"In order to better protect the interests of wizards and listen to the public's opinions on the revision of the "International Wizarding Secrecy Act", the Ministry of Magic of the Twelve Kingdoms complied with the wishes of the public, withdrew all amendments to the Secrecy Act, and continued to implement a tightening policy on Muggles. To protect wizards The secrets of magic and magic are not leaked. Muggle-born wizards, except their parents, are not allowed to disclose the secrets of wizards and the wizarding world with anyone, including spouses and children. The law was established to protect the magic world. Now the Ministry of Magic is investigating the Muggle relatives of wizards , to cast an Oblivion Charm on Muggle relatives who have not been given the right to know."

"Have you noticed? In addition to depriving wizards' Muggle spouses and children of the right to know, the decree also stipulates another special group of people." Regulus whispered, pointing to a specific clause in the decree, "Squibs are also included. If the children born to two wizards fail to awaken the magic power, they will also be deprived of the right to know, and will be cast to forget everything, forgetting everything about magic."

"I can't understand." Molly said in astonishment, "How can this be possible? Children are supposed to live with their parents. If both parents are wizards, it is simply impossible to hide secrets!"

"There are only two ways," said Alastor Moody gloomily, "either the Squib kid is sent away, or the wizarding family is forced to live without magic, pretending to be Muggles at home, otherwise Leaking the slightest trace of magic, as far as I know, basically all the two wizard families can't do that."

"What is this doing? I don't understand." Marlene McKinnon stared at the decree for a long time, scratching her hair in annoyance, "Do you have any opinions? Are you not angry? Who can bear this—this is not protecting wizards, It's totally tormenting wizards."

"That's his purpose." Eli exhaled heavily, and everyone looked at him.

"The duration of this decree will definitely not be too long." He said, "As you all know, with the efforts of the Order of the Phoenix, the cabinet government, Hogwarts students, and all normal and friendly wizards, the previous The revised version of the Secrecy Act did not work very well. Not many wizards were willing to take the risk of being arrested or even killed. Although the Secrecy Act has been revised, the wizarding world is still hidden. The Ministry of Magic originally planned to The leaders' actions were not implemented smoothly, and the decree did not achieve the effect they expected."

"Yes, he has now withdrawn the revision of the secrecy law." Henry McKinnon said, "This is a rare victory, which proves that we have achieved some results."

"It can't be said that yet." Eli said solemnly, "Obviously, this new decree has tried another way to do this. Since the forced decree suggests that the public will not buy it, then extreme suppression can always prompt everyone I started to resist after I couldn't stand it. The law greatly reduced the living space and freedom of wizards. Some people will be overwhelmed by anger, and then have the idea that wizards should not be afraid of Muggles, and go to the other extreme, like Voldemort wants to see As he did, literally tear up the Statute of Secrecy and start a reign that declared war on the Muggles."

Everyone took a deep breath.

"Is there any response from the Muggle government?" Regulus asked him. "This matter is closely related to them, and they should pay close attention to it."

"They know, but there is no reasonable reason to intervene." Eli said simply, "This decree is reasonable on the surface, and the number of people who know wizards is reduced, which is what the Muggle government wants to see , It is good for maintaining social stability, and they have no reason to object. Stopping cooperation with wizards will certainly bring some losses, but now that Voldemort is in control of the Ministry of Magic, I can’t say with conscience that it would be better to continue to cooperate s Choice."

"What about you, Eli, how are you doing now, are you okay?" James asked worriedly, "This new law is almost pointing your nose at you. If it goes ahead, Petunia will Even if her husband, son, daughter, sister, and brother-in-law are all wizards if they cast a forgetfulness spell, she must forget—the special liaison office will no longer exist. I still have to say, it’s too much Ridiculous, how can a person be as annoying as Voldemort?"

"He's forcing me to make a choice." Eli murmured, "He wants me to go to a result where I can't continue to follow the rules and act within the legal scope. This decree must be opposed, and if the initial objection is sparked by Raise the extreme, and the final wave will be very difficult to control, and Voldemort is good at manipulating people."

"No, Eli, it's not just your choice." Regulus said sharply, blocking what he hadn't said yet, "The Order of the Phoenix stands with you, there is no other choice, we are wizards and witches. The main force of melon cooperation, you are our spokesperson, we got together because of fighting Voldemort, at this time, don't think about anything like a drag, in the fight against Voldemort, everyone will not refuse. "

Eli was startled, and after a moment of hesitation, he swallowed the decision of "resigning as the official spokesperson of the Order of the Phoenix" that had come to his lips, exhaled, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay," he said. "In short, I'm going to do something that I've been doing all the time, but I've never done it in such a high-profile way - take a clear stand against the Ministry of Magic and become the leader of an illegal organization."

"What? That sounds really cool." Sirius, who had just returned from working overtime at the Ministry of Magic, pushed open the door of the meeting room and said, "No matter who you originally planned to participate in, this kind of thing must bring me in."

The commercial street of Diagon Alley is still full of people in the false peace.Eli Smith stood on the white marble steps in front of Gringotts, looked around for the last time, raised his wand, and gave himself a loud voice.

"Interrupt everyone's precious afternoon time." He said clearly, and the people around were attracted by his voice and looked in his direction.

"I am Eli Smith, the official spokesperson of the Order of the Phoenix." He said, "I am standing here today to appeal for the latest release of the "Wizard Muggle Family Management Act" by the Ministry of Magic. This law has seriously violated the rights of wizards. Freedom and living space are absurd, unreasonable, and need to be revised. The Ministry of Magic has not initiated a solicitation of relevant laws and regulations, but suddenly issued a completely unreasonable law and began to implement it seriously. I think someone should stand up and point out This is a mistake in decision-making, and if no one else does it, I'd be willing to be the first."

That damn new law.There was a faint hum from the crowd, and a wizard exclaimed: "I think you're right, Smith! Why do wizards hide so carefully, even from their Muggle mates and children? We are wizards. , not criminals! Wizards need more freedom! I was a little bit disapproving of the previously revised secrecy law, but now it seems that if we don’t actively fight, we will be the last ones to be oppressed! The officials of the Ministry of Magic must be afraid of Muggles weapons, they are also afraid that they will be assassinated—”

"I don't think so, friend." Eli looked towards the direction of the voice, surrounded by the gradually gathering crowd, watching the wizard who quietly apparated at the edge of the crowd, and said firmly.

"Who are we oppressed by now, is it the Muggles? Is it the Muggles who issued this decree to us? No, it is our fellow wizards. What we want is to fight against the Muggles and fight for more Power and freedom? No, we just want our families to be informed and have a peaceful life. Who wants to interfere with our normal life, who wants to provoke wars and conflicts, who wants to stir up More unnecessary disputes, who is our enemy."

The wizard who had just Apparated was fast approaching him, his wand raised.

"Public promotion of illegal speech, Mr. Eli Smith - you are under arrest!"
