[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

The former members of the school newspaper stayed at Eli and Petunia's house until the evening, and they had to go to work as usual tomorrow.Although they were all actually members of the Order of the Phoenix, some were full-time members who were out in the open, and some had another official job, and it would have been inappropriate for them to be found together in private.They are no longer the students who struggled together for their ideals in the past, with their respective organizations standing behind them, and the scrutiny and covetousness from others. The world of adults is always more complicated.

After sending them out the door and apparating, Eli's work for the day isn't done yet.He went back to the bedroom and changed his wizard robe, put on a well-tailored suit, carefully smoothed out every fold, put on the matching cuff buttons, and put the tie in the middle of the collar of the suit vest, and came to In the cloakroom next to him, he carefully looked at himself in the full-length mirror to confirm that there was no problem with his attire.

The mirror commented: "Strange dress, did you forget to wear a robe?"

"I've told you many times, you have to accept and absorb Muggle-style dressing knowledge as soon as possible, and supplement your own knowledge. You must always know how to recharge yourself, even if you are just a mirror." Eli said patiently, then stared at For a few seconds, I watched the mirror that accompanied me growing up.

"I don't think you said that in front of Petunia?" he asked. "That's rude."

"Of course not. I know what to say to someone, even if I'm just a mirror." The mirror answered him unhappily. Eli shrugged, patted its frame as a reassurance, left the bedroom and went downstairs to Sit down in the living room at home.

It wasn't the living room that he hid to entertain his wizard friends, but the one that he could see as soon as he entered the door, because everyone didn't mess around here just now, so everything looked neat and tidy.Eli directs the mop and vacuum cleaner to another living room to clean up, and calls the reserved restaurant to confirm the delivery progress.After 10 minutes, he received the takeaway dinner from the restaurant, placed them properly on the table, and applied a heat-retaining charm, then walked around the house, and tapped the wand on each vase, Restore the flowers inside to their freshest condition.

So when Penny led her colleagues back home, she opened the door and saw bright lights and a warm living room. The aroma of steak and flowers blended together in a complex and harmonious way. The red wine is waiting for the guests to taste, and the black-haired young man sitting among them and smiling at them is even more pleasing to the eye.

perfect life.Nelson Mullen couldn't help sighing enviously in his heart.However, in view of the special nature of his fellow travelers today, he restrained himself and did not express his inner emotions casually. He only politely nodded slightly to Eli, and his stability was completely unlike his original character.

But speaking of the few meetings he had with Eli, they were mostly in multi-party talks. On that occasion, everyone was actually very serious, and this Eli Smith was never as gentle as he was in private.He is firm, calm, and tough, and the things he mentioned in the last multi-party meeting simply confused the wizards... From the perspective of an ally, he is completely a person who should be guarded against. Caught off guard in the cave, he was so frightened that the avatar completely collapsed. Since then, he couldn't put on airs in front of Eli Smith. Even seeing him in a multi-party meeting felt a little weird, and he couldn't even exchange greetings with acquaintances. The feeling is really a bit suffocated...

Nelson Mullen diverted his thoughts untimely, but fortunately, he soon realized that he was thinking about something useless, and quickly returned his attention.Eli seemed to be calm and unhurried, unflappable, impeccable in his words and deeds. He first cast a soft look at his wife, then nodded slightly to those who had seen them as a greeting, and finally turned his gaze to Petunia's on the person who opened the door.

"Good evening, see you again, Mr. Mullen, Mr. Becky, and Mr. Milton." He said with a smile, paused, walked forward, and gently shook hands with the person opposite.

"And Mr. Prime Minister, hello, I have long admired your name, and the cabinet has made great contributions to maintaining the peaceful development of the Muggle world."

Prime Minister Benjamin Hughes shook hands with him. He had sharp eagle eyes and a serious face.He took a good look at Eli and said, "You're far more polite than the wizards in charge of contacting me at the Ministry of Magic."

"Maybe it's because I'm not a government official in the wizarding world." Eli said calmly, "I'm a wizard, but I'm also a British citizen who was born and raised in Durham County, and I'm still a member of the cabinet now. Husband of a government official. I think this chat is about "us" rather than "me" and "you". "

"Of course it is." Jack Becky, who has a witch's wife, said with a smile, "Perhaps he will also thank you for taking care of his wife, Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Eli raised an eyebrow silently, smiled and shook his head.

"I don't think so," he said, "I know what a wonderful person my wife is, so I can't say 'taken care of' for her.But of course, I'm delighted to see that the Cabinet has not missed such talent, our government has a discerning eye. "

"That's right." The Prime Minister smiled, and looked at Petunia who was smiling slightly at her husband's words, "Your wife is a very capable person, very capable. To be honest, since becoming Prime Minister, Having learned the secrets of the wizarding world, I never imagined that one day I would be on an equal footing with them to consider our advice. You know? In the Muggle world, if you don't happen to have a wizarding immediate family, it's not until The first day you enter the prime minister's office at 10 Downing Street, you are suddenly notified of these things by a moving portrait. That portrait has been hanging there, quietly pretending that you are not watching everyone all the time. A Muggle Prime Minister, they seem to take it for granted that they have the power to spy on the Prime Minister's office."

His tone was not sharp when he spoke, and he seemed to be chatting casually and gently.But Petunia's heart sank when she heard that, and she was acutely aware of the Prime Minister's dissatisfaction with the magic world for a long time.

She couldn't help but glanced at her husband. Eli received her gaze and curled the corners of his lips calmly.

"I think they probably don't think it's a right, but an obligation," he said, "to protect the Muggle Prime Minister from being manipulated and controlled by dark wizards and black magic. After all, the wizarding world is at war. Even our own Ministry of Magic can't guarantee that it will not be harassed and persecuted. After we have the magic phone, I think the frequency of portrait contact will gradually decrease. It couldn't be better."

He just has this ability to express his views clearly and gently in any situation-whether it is tense or noisy.The prime minister nodded after listening, and did not continue to talk about this topic, but he took a seat at the table, which meant that today's dinner and topic can proceed smoothly.

This made everyone secretly relieved.The officials from the Special Mission and Liaison Department enjoyed the carefully prepared steak and red wine in the high-end restaurant together with the two speakers from the Muggle world and the wizarding world, and chatted about various considerations and details of the current decision-making.

"The use of thermal weapons is troublesome." The Prime Minister said, "According to your statement, ordinary guns cannot cause substantial damage to wizards who are highly vigilant and experienced in combat, and the same is probably true of grenades. And if you use powerful and lethal Larger thermal weapons will inevitably attract the attention of other countries, and even lead to disputes over international security issues—your Ministry of Magic also has an international cooperation department, doesn’t it? We have our United Nations, and as one of the permanent members, Britain cannot take the lead Touching the red line of safety, I hope you understand."

"We can understand." Eli said calmly, "and we can also solve this matter. The Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic can facilitate the adoption of a proposal by the International Federation of Wizards to confine this war involving the magic world to the magic world." In the world, all follow-up issues that may be discovered and noticed by Muggles will be handled by wizards."

The prime minister remained silent, and it could be seen that a fierce ideological struggle was going on in his mind.

He didn't continue to speak for the time being. Petunia glanced sideways at the Prime Minister, took over the topic, and continued to clarify concerns about related matters.

"This is a war, not a set exercise. The outcome cannot be guaranteed. If the dark wizard side wins in the end, then the Ministry of Magic must be overwhelmed. It is hard to say whether the promises made are still valid." She said clearly, staring at her husband sitting opposite, her eyes were clear and sharp, "Even if the final result is not considered, the use of thermal weapons is irreversible - it will explode in the UK, as far as I know, the black wizard They would not kindly choose a duel in a sparsely populated place in advance, wizards are fighting for a possible good result, and Muggles have already borne the tragic price behind it."

The prime minister glanced at Petunia, slightly surprised, but he nodded immediately, saying that what Petunia said was absolutely correct.

"No matter what the result is, Muggles are destined to pay the corresponding price, international reputation, environmental pollution, and sacrifices. Some costs wizards can solve, some cannot. If you want to give me the most powerful reason, then what do you choose to persuade me? I?"

Eli paused for a moment, looked at the two people watching him, and said calmly: "In order to prevent more sacrifices, including wizards and Muggles. The purpose of the mysterious man is to promote wizard supremacy and enslave all Muggles Well, the wizards have been preventing this from happening, and paid a lot of money. Maybe it can't be said that each of them is trying to protect Muggles, but they actually did it, and I think Muggles need this protection Yes, we also have a list of sacrificed wizards. Every wizard who fell has saved more than one person. In the face of powerful and cruel enemies, wizards and Muggles should unite together—it’s not who helps each other. It's that we are one and live next to each other on this land. When facing danger, we should unite together. Only by working together can we tide over the difficulties and protect everything we want to protect, freedom, Peace, and victory."
