The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 664 The Curtain Opens
In the evening, it was time to get off work, but the conference room of the Ministry of Magic was full of people.This meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and there is no possibility of the meeting being adjourned.

No one thought that Voldemort would go to Diagon Alley to wreak havoc, and no one thought that the Dark Lord would choose to kill there.

Whether it is the collapsed Gringotts Wizarding Bank or the destroyed shops, these can be repaired by magic, but those lost lives will never come back.

There was only so much the Ministry of Magic could do to recover the bodies of the victims and try to restore the broken bodies.As for upholding justice for these victims and bringing criminals to justice, it is too difficult for the Ministry of Magic.

"Pale dragons flying over London!" said an old man with a white beard who was a member of the International Federation of Wizards.

The old man had whipped a Muggle newspaper into high gear, and what he had just said was on the front page of the paper.Although Ida quickly subdued the fleeing dragon and handed it over to the Department of Regulation and Control of Fantastic Creatures, the dragon was still seen by the Muggles.

When the fire dragon flew away from Diagon Alley, it flew so low that its body could be seen clearly with the naked eye.

"The Misinformation Office is already working on it," said Amos Diggory. "The Muggle papers tomorrow morning will have a 'reasonable' explanation for the dragon. How about the Muggle word... By the way, make a film!"

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Diggory explained that the Misinformation Office was dealing with the accident and that the wizarding world would never be exposed to Muggles.

When some disasters or events caused by magic are too eye-catching and attract the attention of Muggles, but the Muggles authorities cannot explain it all, in order to protect the wizarding world, the Office of Misinformation will be dispatched.

They will find a plausible "explanation" for the accident.The catastrophe caused by giants walking in the west of England, for example, was blamed on freak hurricanes.

Another example is the Loch Ness monster sighting.It is because of the persistent persuasion of the Office of Misinformation that Muggles believe that all relevant video evidence is false.

Without their hard work, the Loch Ness Monster would have been wiped out long ago.

Not only the Misinformation Office, but also the Amnestics team will work together to erase or confuse Muggle memories.

By then, Muggles will have forgotten about Flying the Dragon over London, and either dismissed it as just another Loch Ness monster, or as an unscrupulous hype by a distributor to make the film a hit.

Even if a few Muggles remembered the real memory, it didn't matter, as long as most people believed in that false memory, the wizarding world would not be exposed.

The old man of the International Federation of Wizards snorted twice in dissatisfaction.

He continued: "It's best, Director Digory, the secrecy of the magic world is a top priority! I don't want to be held accountable by the Federation, and I believe you don't want to be punished either."

According to Article 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Confederation of Secrecy: Each wizarding governing body will be responsible for the concealment, care and control of all magical animals, people and ghosts residing within their jurisdiction.Should such an animal cause harm to Muggle society, or come to their attention, that country's governing body for magic is subject to discipline by the International Confederation of Wizards.

In other words, once the "fire dragon incident" is not properly handled, the entire British Ministry of Magic will follow suit.

"Mr. Smith!" Mr. Weasley said loudly, "the fire dragon appeared in the sky over London, but it did not cause any casualties! Besides, is the fire dragon the most important thing now?"

Mr. Weasley has always been mild-tempered. Even when he became the Minister of Magic, he seldom speaks loudly with people, let alone in a tone close to reprimand.

Before Smith answered, Mr. Weasley continued to scold: "Don't forget, you are also a wizard living in this land! You go to Diagon Alley and look at the corpses of the victims. After reading it, you Come back and talk to me!"

Smith's ass was on the wrong side, and instead of taking the stand of his compatriots, he took the side of the International Confederation of Wizards to blame the Ministry of Magic.No wonder Mr. Weasley was so angry.

"If you still can't figure it out—Cornelly Fudge can appoint you as a member of his own country to represent the United Kingdom, can't I revoke you!" Mr. Weasley patted the table vigorously, as if treating the table as an old fool smith.

The Minister for Magic has the power to appoint a national representative to the International Confederation of Wizards, a position previously held by Albus Dumbledore, who also served as president of the Confederation.

In 1995, the Ministry of Magic refused to recognize Voldemort's return, so Dumbledore was removed from the position of President of the Federation and the qualification of the British representative.It was also at this time that Fudge appointed Smith.

In 1996, when Voldemort's return was confirmed, Dumbledore was reinstated as a councilor, but he did not return as president of the Federation, and Smith remained with the International Federation of Wizards.

It seemed that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so Amos Diggory spoke to ease the atmosphere.

It's just that what Mr. Diggory said sounded more like he wanted to drive Smith to death.

He said: "How about this, we will concentrate on dealing with the exposure of the wizarding world, and we will satisfy you. As for you, you can ask the International Federation of Wizards to send a delegation, and you don't have to do anything special, as long as they deal with the mysterious person Just drop it."

This sentence was even more exaggerated than Mr. Weasley, so it didn't choke Smith to death on the spot.The people around Smith hurriedly helped him wipe his chest and beat his back, and his breath was considered to be down.

Although Voldemort never expanded his power outside the UK, who doesn't know how dangerous the second-generation Dark Lord is!Asking the International Federation of Wizards to send a delegation to destroy Voldemort, wouldn't that be giving away his head!

Ada did not sit at the conference table, but sat lazily in a corner by herself.

She went on to say: "The International Statute of Secrecy is to protect the wizarding world from being exposed to Muggles, so as to protect the safety of wizards. There is nothing wrong with this, but your sacrificing everything is wrong."

Ada got up and came to the conference table, and continued: "If the British wizarding world is gone, what do we need the International Statute of Secrecy to do? Or, do you think Voldemort, who is killing people in Diagon Alley today, will Comply with the International Statute of Secrecy?"

The mysterious man's name caused a little confusion on the conference table, and his name was like a shadow hanging over the wizard's heart, lingering.Even though the day of the decisive battle is approaching, many wizards still fear his power.

Smith, the representative of the federation, was tongue-tied and couldn't explain why for a long time.

Will Voldemort abide by the International Statute of Secrecy?

Certainly not.Voldemort and his Death Eaters regard Muggles as ants, who would talk about keeping secrets with ants?After Voldemort came to power, his first thing was to cleanse wizards and remove those "unworthy of learning magic", and his second thing was to kill Muggles for fun.

"International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Act", to Voldemort, that is bullshit!
If Voldemort hadn't promised the "freedom" that dark creatures such as giants, werewolves, and dementors wanted, they would have raised their heads to engage in business with Voldemort?
"For the International Federation of Wizards, it may be more important not to expose the wizarding world. But for us, survival is the most important thing." Mr. Weasley said, "The enemy is now, and everything must be given to the coming make way for the decisive battle. If the International Confederation of Wizards has any dissatisfaction..."

Ada interrupted Mr. Weasley, not letting the Minister, Mr. Weasley, take the blame on himself.

She interrupted and said, "If the federation has any dissatisfaction with the results of the Misinformation Office, we will no longer submit to the International Federation of Wizards. You can also ask your president Akinbad to come here in person."

"You!" Smith was surprised, and things went completely beyond his expectations.

Smith just wanted to show his prestige and show his importance, but he didn't expect such a strong backlash.Babajid Akinbad, Smith can't move the new president of the federation.

"I heard that President Akinbad graduated from the Waggadu School of Magic. I would like to have a good chat with him, and talk about how Waggadu's students violated the "International Statute of Secrecy."

Ada continued: "It would be even better if I could witness the subtle self-transformation, or cast spells without a staff. What do you think?"
