Chapter 423 Changes in the UK
Before he knew it, Schelling had spent three days at Demstrong, and July also ushered in its last day. During these three days, he traveled all over the Demstrong Castle and took the Mid Dragon to leapt on the meadows, ice lakes, valleys and rivers outside the Demstrong campus.
Unlike most Hogwarts students who stay indoors to play chess and cards, Demstrong's leisure activities tend to be outdoor and physical activities, such as flying competitions, fishing and hunting.
Schelling has experienced fishing several times and sometimes successfully fished for golden salmon several times, but he has never seen a thunderbone giant eel and a horse-shaped water monster before. As for hunting and flying, he still can't find time to experience it.
After all, as mentioned earlier, he still focuses on studying the issue of black magic most of his time. Even when fishing, he just tried it to relax and did not really fall in love with this activity.
Most of the time in the library, he reads a book with all his energy and uses an alchemy automatic quill to copy all the banned books of Demstrong. During the rest of the time, he also asked the black magic master Professor Helmut for knowledge related to black magic.
Shelin has actually been exposed to many books on black magic, but because he has never systematically learned this knowledge and lacks opportunities for research and practice, he has many blind spots in knowledge. As Kakarov's confidant, Professor Helmut naturally guided Schelling without reservation and helped him find out the gaps, so that Schelling's black magic achievement could improve by leaps and bounds in just a short period of time.
Professor Helmut naturally warned Schelling of the disadvantages of being overly addicted to black magic, but what he didn't know was that Schelling, who had absorbed Gryffindor's "brave heart", had his personality and mind for the power of black magic. Erosion is already extremely resistant, and there is no need to worry about the damage caused to your soul by practicing black magic.
It can be said that except for the lack of a secret room of Nalida Vcanova, his most basic goal of coming to Demstrong has been achieved.
In turn, in Great Britain, many major events have also happened in the wizarding world since late July.
Although Schelling is far north in Northern Europe, he is still concerned about the development of the situation in Great Britain - mainly supplemented by reports in the Prophet Daily and Kakarov's own intelligence network.
Yes, under Schelling's instruction, Kakarov has connected with the intelligence personnel of the Negrosin, and the two sides can transmit and exchange intelligence in the form of efficient and seamless links.
On the same day when Schelling arrived in Demstrong, the Prophet Daily published a big news that shocked the entire British wizard society - "The greatest wizard of the century" Albus Dumbledore was also Removal of the identity of honorary member of Wisengamor and representative of the United Kingdom of the International Wizards Federation.
Losing membership also means that he has lost the position of chairman of the two major organizations and completely lost his influence in international organizations and the British Ministry of Magic.
The International Wizards Federation's presidential position was publicly announced a few days ago that it was replaced by Babajid Akinbad of Africa.
The position of Chairman Wisengamo has been hanging in the air - this is not because of Fudge's kindness. Wisengamo has always existed independently of the Ministry of Magic, so senior officials of the Ministry of Magic have been not allowed in the past. Become the chairman of Wiesengamor.
When the candidate for chairman of Wiesengamor is not determined, his power will be handed over to the Minister of Magic for the time being, so Fauci is actually the biggest winner.
According to the information sent by Nifadora, Dumbledore was not very concerned about this matter on the surface, and even said bluntly at the internal meeting of the Order of the Phoenix that as long as he should not remove him from the Chocolate Frog Celebrity Card.
In fact, he was already making arrangements for the war in the future - he had already met with his brother Abforth Dumbledore and began to secretly establish a secret passage between the Pighead Bar and the House of Responsibles.
In case Hogwarts falls into war, not only can the Order of the Phoenix quickly enter the castle from the secret passage, but students who do not have combat capabilities can also have an extra secret passage to escape. At this point, it must be said that although Dumbledore never feared sacrificing anyone in his plan, he still had the best of his responsibilities as a principal.
Another big thing is—
Arthur Wesley, director of the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Muggle Items, was reported to illegally transform Muggle items, and abused his power to tamper with the law during his inauguration. After investigation by the newly established Magic Criminal Interrogation Department of the Ministry of Magic, it was finally found that others' evidence and physical evidence were confirmed. , was eventually found guilty.
The penalty was a fine of 10,000 Gallon, and was officially suspended by the Ministry of Magic, and was blacklisted and never hired.
It is said that Arthur Wesley was shocked when he learned about this. He fell to the ground in the Ministry of Magic, almost fainting.
As we all know, although it is one of the 28 sacred pure blood families, the Wesley family has always been in a difficult situation. Although it is not as hungry and cold, it is not considered rich.
10,000 Gallons were a huge sum of money for them, and the entire Wesley family could not afford that much money. In order to avoid putting Arthur in prison, Molly Wesley bravely stood up and decided to take out the precious collection passed down by the ancestors of the Wesley family, and handed it over to professional appraisers to estimate it and then offset it with equal value.
What is disgusting is that the person who came to sign the collateral was Percy Wesley, Arthur's third son. Only then did everyone know that it was him who reported Mr. Wesley.
Percy successfully gained the hatred of the whole family, and even Mrs. Wesley, who had always been the most loving Mrs. Wesley, was completely disappointed with him.
What no one knows is that under the cover of Amelia and Ren Cowan, all the collections of Wesley confiscated by Percy were eventually handed over to Salph in Ella's cottage. From then on, she belonged to Shelling, just waiting for Shelling to return to China to receive it, including Mr. Wesley's private magic research notes that Percy had worked hard to find.
This is not over yet. The incident after Wesley was expelled from the Ministry of Magic also triggered subsequent reforms of the Ministry of Magic—
Amelia Bones, Director of the Legal Enforcement Division, said in an interview with the Prophet Daily that the Ministry of Magic has been too bloated to be inefficient, and the Office for the Prophet’s Abuse of Muggle Items under Mr. Wesley’s control is not a single The necessity of a separate administrative unit.
So, after she had a careful discussion with the major directors within the Law Enforcement Department, she decided to make drastic reforms for this department.
From then on, all the investigation and arrest of all suspects in the field of magic crimes were handed over to the legal enforcement reconnaissance team for unified responsibility.
You should know that before this, Arthur needed to go out to deal with such investigation and pursuit of suspects who transformed Muggle items. Arthur was both a policeman and an administrative officer. In addition to overlapping functions with the reconnaissance team, he also asked him to do so. With the opportunity to abuse power and favoritism, and the facts prove that Arthur did it too—
When designing the law, he deliberately left small loopholes that were beneficial to him, and abused his power to resolve legal troubles for his friends. There are at least two examples that have been found, one is the old Moody's family in the Order of the Phoenix. The trash can, one of which was Ludo Bagman's brother's lawn mower, also received the expensive Quidditch World Cup No. 1 Camp entrance ticket.
Whether the magical transformation items that are confiscated as physical evidence will be illegal will be handed over to the newly established taboo magic product identification department for handling. This newly established department is not just for illegally modified Muggle items—its responsibilities also cover threats. Black magic items that are safe for the public, counterfeit and shoddy items that are potentially risky to users, and maliciously modified Muggle items.
The department will be handed over to the newly appointed Magic Criminal Interrogation Team captain Albert Lencowon. In this way, Mr. Luncoen can become the first door of the judicial system - all evidence prosecuting the suspect, including the testimony of the interrogation witness and the confiscated physical evidence appraisal report, will be submitted through his hands Wizards' Legal Council or the higher level of Wisengamo.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
On the surface, Rencoon was the biggest winner in this round of Ministry of Magic reform.
But in fact, there are still many forces that can restrict him. For example, although he can manage various evidence, he does not have the power to amend or establish new laws like Arthur.
The real winner is naturally Schelling, who is hidden behind Rencoon - all kinds of black magic items confiscated were eventually outsourced by Rencoon for destruction, and the people responsible for receiving this batch of "stolen goods" It's Xie Lin.
It can be predicted that Schelling will only obtain more and more various black magic items in the future.
In addition to the two major events of Dumbledore and the Wesley family losing power, the Prophet Daily also published some other small news, but it did not cause as much social response as the previous two news.
For example, in the past two weeks, Willy Weedsin has committed three toilet sewage resurgence cases. Before this, he had been a habitual criminal who had committed many crimes, and Arthur Wesley, who was in charge of his case, had not known how many times he had arrested him.
The problem is that after Mr. Wesley was fired by the Ministry of Magic a few days ago, Widsing's behavior has become worse after losing this threat that has been keeping him close.
Finally a day ago, there was a problem with his spell during the casting process and the toilet exploded. After the incident, he himself was unconscious in the ruins. Since he was seriously injured when he was arrested, he was first sent to the St. Mungo Magic Hospital for treatment.
The captain of the Magic Criminal Interrogation Team publicly announced to the media in an interview that Widsin's behavior had seriously violated the wizard's law and after he recovered, he would be sentenced to be imprisoned in the Azka squad for half a year.
Another criminal reported by the media is Willy Wagstaff, who is active in the black market in the Overturned Alley.
He ignored the Ministry of Magic Equipment Control's multiple warnings to him and continued to sell unsecured smuggling wands. Finally, a few days ago, the wand he sold broke out in a fire, causing the unlucky buyer who was greedy for cheap was seriously injured and sent to the St. Mungo Magic Hospital.
In the end, he was arrested by the investigation team and prosecuted for "illegal business crime" and "deliberate injury". Like the above Willie Widsin, he was sentenced to prison for half a year in Azkaban.
When Schelling saw these two news, he didn't feel much. He only vaguely remembered that this was the plot in the original work, and Widsin and Wagstaff were the two unimportant dragon suits in the original work. The role, so he put the two pieces of information aside without thinking too much. (End of this chapter)
