Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

The noseless man reached out and slapped the special service officer below the waist.

Before the two of them could look, the special service officer, whose brain had stopped functioning, understood what the noseless man meant, with a light "pa!"

The two shivering special agents and the noseless man had already appeared on a high tower, looking at the city with lights as bright as day below them, the desert not far away, and the huge signboard with "Las Vegas" written on it.

The man looked at the scantily dressed women walking down the street and whistled.

"Is this Las Vegas? It looks awesome."

After saying that, he looked around the tower where he was.

The man found that he seemed to be at the highest place in the city, and the moonlight was just right today. Although it was not as bright as day, it was not dark at all.

So the man patted the person beside him, stunned, as if he didn't understand how he got to the special service center in Las Vegas.

"Come on, let's do something fun."

Just as two women's screams mixed with fear and joy were heard at the top of the Stratosphere Tower, a landmark building in Las Vegas, in Amsterdam, far across the ocean.

There were also a group of Aurors and members of the Incident Reversal Team who were screaming.

According to the Statute of Secrecy, after a wizard battle of this level, wizards must clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible and modify the memories of all Muggles who watched.

Cover up everything and restore everything to the appearance that nothing had happened.

With the help of magic, this operation, which is like reloading a file and starting over, is not difficult.

Wizards did this a lot decades ago.

But now is obviously not the same as it was decades ago, so when the people from the Dutch Ministry of Magic saw the flesh and blood blocking the canal, they first dry heaved for a while.

Then, he took out the credentials of the Aurors who came to carry out this arrest operation from the robes scattered on the ground.

After realizing what the flesh and blood that blocked the canal was made of, they began to vomit violently with screams.

However, how these wizards overcame the urge to vomit, collected the bodies of the dead Aurors, and repaired the street block had nothing to do with Harry, who had returned to the Dutch Ministry of Magic and was wrapped in a warm woolen blanket.

At this moment, Harry was sitting in a chair next to Black, watching Fudge, who had rushed over after hearing the news, holding urgent consultations with the Minister of the Dutch Ministry of Magic, or in other words, conducting a not-so-glorious political deal.

It seemed that before, it was because the Minister of Magic of the Netherlands had recently encountered some minor problems, which led to some voices in the media hoping that the Minister of Magic could behave himself, and if he was not decent, everyone should help him to behave decently.

Under the influence of this voice, when the British Ministry of Magic sent a request for cooperation in capturing dangerous dark wizards, the Dutch Minister of Magic instantly found an opportunity to save his support rate.

After all, it has only been ten years since the last time a British dark wizard caused trouble. Now when the two keywords "Britain" and "dark wizards" are mentioned, everyone thinks of the man without a nose.

In this case, it would be better if the Netherlands could capture the dark wizard alone and then hand him over to the British Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, it exaggerates the cruelty of the dark wizard and the wise leadership of the minister himself.

Wouldn't it be possible to survive this crisis safely?

Although the Minister himself will not go to the front line to carry out arrests, if the Aurors go there, it means the Minister has gone there, and it is an opportunity.

Then something unexpected happened. After learning that all the Aurors involved in the operation were killed, the Dutch Minister of Magic wanted to ask Fudge, who had rushed over after hearing the news, "Are all the dark wizards in Britain so brave? Any one of them could almost wipe out my Auror Office."

However, compared to the question of how powerful the British dark wizards are, the most urgent task for the Dutch Minister of Magic now is to discuss with Fudge a decent way to end this incident.

For this reason, the Dutch Minister of Magic was even willing to open enrollment to Hogwarts.

After all, due to some historical reasons, Dutch wizards have always gone to school at the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.

Now, in order to carry out crisis public relations, the Dutch Minister of Magic can no longer care about so many things.

119 Dumbledore in the Netherlands

"Alas...politicians..."

The next morning, when Harry was sitting in the Hogwarts Great Hall and saw today's Daily Prophet, he couldn't help but shook his head.

As a child who was technically not yet twelve years old, even though Harry had already killed the basilisk and executed the giant flesh-and-blood starfish with one sword in the canal.

But when it was time to go to bed, Dumbledore would send him back to Gryffindor Tower on the grounds that children shouldn't stay up late.

Although Harry didn't know at the time what agreement Fudge had reached with the Dutch Minister of Magic.

However, after reading today's Daily Prophet, Harry had almost guessed what kind of agreement Fudge had reached with the Dutch Minister of Magic last night.

First up was last night's action, as reported in the Daily Prophet, which began with the Dutch Ministry of Magic refusing the assistance of British Aurors.

The Aurors were on routine patrol and discovered that a dark wizard was about to cause trouble, so they rushed forward to try to stop the dark wizard, and during the battle, they disregarded their own safety to protect the Muggles who were involved in the battle to evacuate.

In the end, the dark wizard was successfully driven away with the help of Scrimgeour and four British Aurors who were traveling there, as well as Dumbledore and Harry Potter whom they called.

In order to protect the Muggles, the Dutch Aurors suffered heavy casualties while escorting them away from the dangerous battlefield.

But the efforts of these heroic Aurors were worthwhile, as they successfully rescued hundreds of Muggles, with only two Muggles unfortunately missing in the area where the fighting broke out that night.

The Dutch Minister of Magic has decided to award these brave Aurors the Second Class Tulip Medal.

This will be one of the largest honorariums in the history of the Dutch Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore and Harry Potter, who extended a hand of friendship to the Netherlands last night, and the Aurors from the British Auror Office who participated in this battle will be awarded a Tulip Medal, Class 3, to thank them for their contributions to international magical cooperation.

Although when Harry saw the third-class tulip medal, he knew that the Dutch Minister of Magic would definitely compensate him privately.

However, this report allowed Harry to experience the art of language once again.

Although the report is basically true except for the part involving the UK.

But after covering up a little information, the Dutch Ministry of Magic's stupid and suicidal behavior turned into a shameless sneak attack by the dark wizards, and the Dutch Aurors bravely maintained peace.

Plus it’s mentioned at the end of the article.

The Ministries of Magic of Britain and the Netherlands took this opportunity to enhance mutual trust and strengthen cooperation.

In view of the lack of combat effectiveness of the Aurors revealed in this operation, the Netherlands is considering opening Hogwarts to recruit students from the Netherlands.

In the future, Dutch wizards will not only be able to attend Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry according to tradition, but can also choose to go to Hogwarts.

If Harry didn't know what happened yesterday, he would have thought that an ordinary attack by dark wizards would allow the Dutch Magical Congress to seize the opportunity to enhance mutual trust and cooperation with its neighboring countries. This was simply turning a small loss into a big win, a huge win.

However, after putting down the Daily Prophet, Harry felt that he was really pressed for time and had a heavy workload this summer. He had to at least set up the TV station and the Internet this summer, otherwise the money would be earned by others.

Harry had no doubt that the Dutch and British Ministries of Magic had paid a lot of money under the table for this report.

Thinking of this, Harry glanced at the author of this report. Being able to write an article of this level, he must be a veteran journalist. He wondered if he could recruit him to work under him in the future.

Then, as expected, Harry saw a familiar name, Rita Skeeter, in the author column.

After seeing the name, Harry curled his lips. It seemed that this reporter's level of fabrication had at least been recognized by the officials of Britain and the Netherlands.

It seems that there is no way to get her to join one's own media without some commercial means.

Fortunately, Ron had already told him the reporter's biggest secret.

After reading the newspaper three times, Harry had to return the newspaper to Percy who was sitting opposite him, and face Qiu Zhang who was sitting next to him and looking at him with dissatisfaction.

"Harry, I need an explanation."

Qiu Zhang, with his arms crossed over his chest, looked at Harry with a cold face.

Harry originally thought that the Dutch Minister of Magic would choose to cover up what happened last night, but he didn't expect that the incident would be reported in the newspapers the next day.

When Percy saw the report, he waved the newspaper in his hand and congratulated Harry on receiving the Order of the Tulip after the Order of Merlin.

Harry wanted to stuff all the scones on the plate in front of him into Percy's mouth and use the food to shut up Percy's mouth, which looked like it wanted to hold a press conference for Harry.

However, before Harry could put this idea into action, he was tortured by Qiu Zhang's eyes, saying, "You agreed to include me in the future, but you didn't even call me!"

Harry had to borrow a newspaper from Percy and use Uncle Vernon's best dining table invisibility trick to see how much was revealed in the newspaper while thinking about how he should write this sentence.

"Listen to my explanation, this is what happened..."

"Harry, come here for a moment, I have something urgent to do."

Harry started to speak but Draco, who was sitting next to him, interrupted him.

Draco tilted his head towards Harry, motioning for Harry to talk to him alone.

"Draco!"

Qiu Zhang cast a somewhat dissatisfied look at Draco who was sitting next to him, but Draco's gloomy expression made Qiu Zhang say nothing.

Just as Harry stood up from his chair, Qiu Zhang tugged at Harry's robes and mouthed to Harry, "You must call me this time."

When Harry and Draco left the hall and walked into the small garden outside the hall.

Draco sighed and said to Harry, "Harry, I need your help. Something may have happened at home."

When Harry heard Draco's words, a string in his head immediately tightened.

"What happened?"

"I haven't received any letters from my family in two days, and my house elves are not responding to my calls now. This is not normal."

Harry knew that Draco kept in touch with his family every day via owl mail.

Regarding this matter, Ron often laughed at Malfoy for being so attached to his home even though he was so old.

But Harry understood Draco very well. If possible, Harry also wanted to write to his parents and tell them what he had experienced recently.

It's just that Harry didn't have this opportunity in the past, and now... although theoretically Harry has this opportunity, but...

Pushing the strange thought that suddenly popped into his mind out of his head, Harry patted Draco on the shoulder.

"Don't panic, let's go find Dumbledore now. If necessary, we can skip school today and visit your house."

"Thanks, man."

Draco nodded.

Harry patted Draco on the shoulder and walked into the hall with Draco without saying anything else.

But when Harry and Draco returned to the Great Hall, Harry found that Dumbledore, who had just been eating breakfast in the teachers' seats, was no longer in the Great Hall.

So after giving Draco a look, Harry immediately walked towards the stairs leading from the hall to the main body of the castle.

Although in theory, Dumbledore is only the headmaster of Hogwarts and should stay in the headmaster's office most of the time.

But in fact, after this period of contact with Dumbledore, Harry discovered that Dumbledore was not in Hogwarts at least half of the time.

So to be on the safe side, I'd better go to the principal's office to find Dumbledore.

Otherwise, if Dumbledore happened not to be in Hogwarts today, Harry would have no choice but to skip class.

However, just a few steps after Harry and Draco walked out of the hall, Qiu Zhang caught up with them, walked beside Harry and asked Harry and Draco.

"What are you going to do? And, Harry, you still owe me an explanation."
