Chapter 25 William Corrupted by Money
French Ministry of Magic,
An artsy hall, packed with people. These wizards are all journalists from all over the world.
With such a big event happening in Paris, journalists from all over the world seem to have discovered Gringotts' sniffles and rushed into the city like crazy.
The French Ministry of Magic had to temporarily hold a large press conference to unify the caliber.
This will prevent journalists from reporting indiscriminately, suppress the rampant French forces in various places, and prevent them from wantonly smearing the image of France as the largest country in Europe.
As the heroes who saved Paris, William and Hermione deserved to attend the press conference.
The spokesperson for the briefing was Clegane, Director of the Legal Enforcement Division.
He first exaggerated the vileness of the terrorist attack, and then spoke highly of the fine tradition and style of the Ministry of Magic's hard work... Finally, he praised international friends William and Hermione, and expressed his sincerest wishes to them!
Obviously very simple things, Clegane insisted on talking for two hours.
This is probably the leader!
Yawning is a contagious disease. After William yawned, Hermione yawned along with him... Finally, the two of them pressed their heads together and started to make up for sleep in an upright manner.
No idea!
The aftermath work last night, the two were busy until the middle of the night, and now they are naturally sleepy and tired.
Clegane also seemed to realize that he was talking too much, so he talked casually for another half an hour, and finally began the reporter's questioning session.
"Mr. Clegane, where did Arya Grindelwald get Muggle weapons of mass destruction?" a French reporter asked first.
This is apparently a trustee from the Ministry of Magic, so that Clegane can make strategic blame and Trump-style accusations.
He really rebuked loudly: "You may ask Ukraine this question, don't ask me, ask Ukraine, you will get an extraordinary answer."
"What do you mean, Mr. Secretary?"
"The Soviet Union is divided, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Magic can't take the responsibility. They lost the nuclear bomb and caused the Paris nuclear crisis!"
"Will such incidents happen again in the future?" asked another French reporter.
"Of course not, we will strictly prevent it!" Clegane promised, "We have notified the International Federation of Wizards.
Recently, the Federation has made a decision to urge the Muggle government to put pressure on the Ukrainian government to destroy the nuclear bomb as soon as possible! "
"I heard that Arya is Grindelwald's daughter. Does this mean that the Dark Lord Grindelwald has acted?"
"No, we asked the Austrian Ministry of Magic... Nurmengard is not at all abnormal, and Grindelwald is still imprisoned inside!" Clegane replied.
"Moreover, according to the current investigation, Arya is only Rozier's adopted daughter and has nothing to do with Grindelwald himself."
"And what about the criminal Arya Grindelwald? Did you catch her?" said a German journalist in a reproachful tone.
"She did such a thing, the French Ministry of Magic would never let her escape, would it?"
"This... Aurors are still being hunted, and we will make an international arrest for her!" Clegane said solemnly:
"here,
I still have to advise some terrorist forces to stop going their own way, otherwise the result will only be harming others and themselves. "
"Of course, the arrest work cannot rely on France alone. This is the responsibility of all countries in the world." Clegane added.
The reporters talked a lot, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with the French Ministry of Magic, which is so incompetent, only swearing, shirking responsibility, and trying to kidnap other countries.
The United Kingdom has done a good job... Strictly confine Voldemort to the British Isles and prevent him from running around and causing trouble for other countries.
"Then how the Ministry of Magic is going to solve the problem of large-scale leaks." An American reporter asked.
"Most Muggles have seen dragons, France has exposed the wizarding world, and you can't cast an Oblivion Charm on an entire city!"
"Actually, we can." Clegane looked at the American reporter and said unceremoniously:
"Mr Scamander has provided the Ministry of Magic with Crimson Winged Venom. With his help, we will erase all Muggle memories."
Winged Demon Venom is a glowing liquid substance extracted from Winged Demon's egg sacs. When diluted properly, it has the power to erase bad memories.
In the Battle of New York that year, Newt used this method, mixed in the rain, to directly erase the memory of all the Muggles in New York, making them forget the silent ones.
Clegane was also an old hermaphrodite, and he told the American reporter that they would learn advanced experience from the Magical Congress of the United States.
The old man Newt on the side, lowered his head, kept nodding in approval, and seemed to agree with what Clegane said. Of course, it would be better if he didn't drool.
Old Master Newt slept earlier than William and Hermione, and he hated sitting at his desk the most. This lengthy press conference cost him his life.
Clegane didn't care, he squeezed his hand and said loudly: "We will cooperate with the Muggle government to start the reconstruction of Paris, which I hope to complete within 5 years.
Paris is a treasure of humanity all over the world, and starting tomorrow, a national giving program will be launched that will extend beyond our borders. "
coming! Begging online, it's late but it's here!
The reporters whispered again, expressing their dissatisfaction with the shamelessness of the French Ministry of Magic.
"Mr. Scamander." A sweet voice suddenly sounded.
Such a familiar voice!
William and Hermione, who had slept for more than two hours, woke up from their sleep, looked up, and found that they were indeed acquaintances!
—Rita Skeeter!
This woman has come to Paris too!
Rita ruffled her delicate hair and took out several newspapers from her crocodile leather bag.
She had a smile on her face, revealing three golden teeth: "Mr. Secretary, I have several French newspapers here.
I noticed that your Ministry of Magic first arrested Mr. Scamander, and then launched a nationwide search for Mr. Stark and Miss Granger. "
"Not to mention that both Scamander and Mr. Stark are recipients of the Merlin Medal and enjoy great international prestige.
One of them is an old man, and two of them are students at Hogwarts...with all due respect, Paris would have been destroyed without them, and you have one person in custody and two people wanted.
Such persecution of heroes, making them bleed and cry... How does the French Ministry of Magic explain? "
Rita showed a "nuclear" smile.
Clegane cursed inwardly. This was the hardest thing to explain, especially the order to arrest William and Hermione.
His wanted is unreasonable and unlawful!
Usually, this kind of thing might be able to pass if you cover it up, but now the two people who are wanted have saved Paris and become the savior!
This kind of illegal wanted will be infinitely magnified and will have a serious impact on the reputation of the French Ministry of Magic.
Clegane bit the bullet and explained: "Actually, it was our job to mobilize the crowd to hunt down Mr. Stark and Miss Granger.
The real intention is to let the enemy relax their vigilance so that Arya can be fished out. "
The reporters present looked at each other in disbelief.
Clegane hard wash said: "We French Aurors always like to surprise and do some seemingly crazy, but very creative ways of hunting."
"From the results, we successfully stopped Arya...Mr. Stark and Miss Granger are of course innocent, and neither of them was harmed."
Clegane wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Is that so, dear Mr. Stark?" Rita looked at William. "Don't be afraid, say it bravely, we in Britain are not afraid of France!"
William smiled: "Yes, yes, Hermione and I are indeed cooperating with the French Ministry of Magic.
The so-called wanted... is just for Arya to let her down. "
All the reporters sighed in disappointment that this was not the best answer they wanted to hear.
This answer is too nonsense!
Of course... crap!
William will help the French Ministry of Magic to cover up, because they have given a high hush money.
Just like the Gringotts incident.
This time, the French Ministry of Magic compensated William and Hermione 10,000 Galleons at one time as a spiritual compensation fee. The corpse of the fire dragon Norbert was also packed and taken away by William.
That's right... Norbert died, fell from such a height, and died on the spot!
Bloody and bloody, can't even recognize his mother (Hagrid)!
Dead old miserable.
The dragon's body would have been confiscated by the French Ministry of Magic. After some bargaining, it was "transferred" to William and Hermione for their magical research.
Under such a high fee for silence (extortion), William and Hermione had to bow their heads and cooperate with the Ministry of Magic performance.
William didn't want to be corrupted by the power of money, but there was no way!
After all, Newt did illegally smuggle fire dragons, and fire dragon Norbert was also under the control of Arya, causing huge damage.
Even if Newt was shut down for ten or eight years, it would not be a loss.
In order to prevent Newt from spending the rest of his life in tears behind bars, William could only temporarily abandon his integrity and join forces with evil forces.
He collects money and fire dragons, just to cover up the grief in his heart.
That's right, he was really sad in his heart, and his mouth was grinning to the back of his head.
Alas, sure enough... It's hard to be a human being, it's hard to be a wizard, and it's even more difficult to be a good wizard who sacrifices himself for his friends.
But William did it!
