Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

"Hello, Madam Minister," he said politely, "Please introduce this guest to me."

"Lynn Eric, he will go to Westminster Abbey to meet the Queen." Amelia said slowly.

The Prime Minister, who had been somewhat nonchalant just now, suddenly perked up, stood up and shook Lin En's hand, feeling a little confused in his heart.

He knew that the royal family had connections with the wizarding world, but he could not see what was so special about this wizard who was much younger than his personal secretary.

He actually had to meet the Queen... and in Westminster Abbey. This made him feel that things were not simple.

Amelia sat on the hardwood chair opposite the Prime Minister, and Lynn sat quietly beside her. The Prime Minister felt a little embarrassed and had to take the initiative to break the silence.

"Ms. Bones, the incident outside London has been resolved - although I have been criticized a lot in Parliament. I hope you can bring good news today."

"At least part of it is." Amelia said, "It's just as we planned before, or even better than planned - the evil that once wreaked havoc in Britain is dead, and there is no way he will ever be resurrected again."

"He died in London?" asked the Prime Minister.

"No, he died on a deserted island in the North Sea that you don't know about. London and Paris were just tricks, but we saw through them and made preparations in advance."

"Bei Hai... well, no matter where he died, he died after all, right?" The Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What is the other part you are talking about? Isn't this demon the biggest threat?"

"He used to be, Mr. Minister." Lin En raised his head and happened to meet the Prime Minister's eyes. "But unfortunately, just when we killed him, bad news came."

"...What bad news?" The Prime Minister swallowed hard and held his forehead with one hand.

"It is difficult for us to describe it. It is a strange existence between living and non-living things. It was once active all over the world and became an integral part of myths and belief systems - used to snatch the lives and everything of believers."

Lynn tried to use the most understandable words without any long and difficult sentences, "Now most of them have been destroyed, but..."

The Prime Minister's heart sank to the bottom, he knew too well the weight of this "but".

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Eric." He picked up the water glass and drank it all, then loosened his tie, "Please go ahead."

"But they are most likely not from our planet - unfortunately, because of some actions of this demon that are difficult to explain to you, the leader of the monsters, who is also the most powerful one among them, sent out some kind of signal in a special way." Lynn said.

"Signal..." The Prime Minister took a series of deep breaths and raised his finger with difficulty, pointing upwards, "You mean...?"

Lynn drew out his wand, and the blue magic power seeped into the Prime Minister's body, making his livid face look a little better.

"This is not an inference, but a prophecy." Lin En said softly, "Although we are not sure whether this signal has been transmitted, we need your help to prepare for a rainy day. Wizards are not omnipotent."

"You... need our help?"

The Prime Minister looked at Lynn in surprise.

He had been Prime Minister for nearly five years, but this was the first time he heard these arrogant wizards say "I need help".

Not to mention the arrogant Fudge, even the serious Ms. Bones in front of him has never been like this.

Lin En took out a handkerchief, turned sideways and coughed a few times, then repeated with a slightly heavier tone: "Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, we need you. To be exact, we need your cooperation."

The Prime Minister blinked and for no reason felt more favorable and friendly towards Lin En.

"Cooperation... You are indeed different from other wizards." He said slowly, "The lady next to you and her predecessor never talk about cooperation - they only talk about some trouble somewhere."

Amelia turned her head awkwardly and looked towards the exquisitely decorated Prime Minister's office.

Although she is Lynn's good friend, her stance towards Muggles is closer to that of Dumbledore.

Lin En had expected this, so he put away his handkerchief without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "Wizards are only people who possess the special power of magic. We have our own strengths, and of course we can cooperate in many aspects - as long as we eliminate prejudice."

In the eyes of the Prime Minister, the young wizard appeared to have conjured up a document out of thin air and placed it on the table like a magician.

He glanced at the title and quickly recognized its source.

Allies across the Atlantic.

Chapter 556: Secret Talk at 10 Downing Street (Part )

"They arrested a lot of big shots at once. This cannot be hidden from everyone." The Prime Minister said in a deep voice, "It seems that this matter is also related to you?"

After a brief adjustment, he came out of his shock and realization and regained the rationality and composure of an excellent politician.

Lin En nodded. "Not every country's wizards and ordinary people can keep their distance and reach a tacit understanding. The situation in the United States is the most special, and the problem is the most serious. Those monsters even controlled a batch of their weapons of mass destruction."

"!"

The Prime Minister's eyes bulged out because of the explosive news. He put his hands on the table and propped himself up.

“No wonder… No wonder these guys kept this matter so secret…” He murmured, “Once more people get to know this, the consequences will be disastrous.”

"We cannot ensure that similar situations will not happen again in other countries or times, Mr. Prime Minister." Lin En looked at him calmly and patted his shoulder gently. "This is why I must take precautions in advance and find ways to prevent such monsters from appearing again. Do you understand now?"

The Prime Minister did not speak. He was still trying his best to calm his turbulent emotions. No one could calm down quickly after hearing such news. After all, it was like handing over everyone's lives and property to an uncontrollable madman.

After a long while, he said bitterly: "Now I understand your intention. I have to say that this is the most terrible thing I have encountered since I became prime minister."

After saying this, he was silent for a while, somewhat self-deprecating.

"How can I help you? Honestly, if I told the Cabinet Secretary and other ministers these words verbatim, they would think I was crazy and kick me out."

"I understand how you feel, Prime Minister. You are one of the calmest people I have ever met regarding the wizarding world." Lynn said encouragingly, "And I believe that none of us are willing to be passive. I have learned about the Citizens' Charter Program and the Safe Haven Policy, which are both outstanding achievements."

"You actually know all this?"

The Prime Minister was somewhat surprised that this was the proudest achievement of his career and both jobs brought him great reputation.

Normally, his subordinates would often pay him respect, but the same words would feel one way when coming from an ordinary person and another way when coming from a wizard with extraordinary powers.

"I thought wizards wouldn't pay attention to these things. It seems that Mr. Fudge has left me with a preconceived prejudice, and I should have known you more objectively." said the Prime Minister.

"Mutual understanding is the foundation of trust and the beginning of further cooperation. I have always believed in this, and I believe even more in the wisdom and decision-making of you and your colleagues."

Lin En pulled out his wand and waved it gently. The globe placed in the empty office next door slowly floated over and landed on the desk in front of the three people.

"This is our common home. If those monsters really find more powerful ones, none of us can really stay out of it, don't you think?"

"That's fair. If the Americans can't deal with these bizarre forces, then we can't either." The Prime Minister nodded slightly, his fingertips touching the British Isles. "But I don't understand how we can help you. We are like people from two different worlds."

"You can do a lot, Prime Minister. Because you have wisdom that is completely different from that of wizards, especially you have made many explorations beyond the planet we live on, which is a mysterious area that wizards have never set foot in."

"Beyond the planet..." the Prime Minister pondered, "You want us to help observe those extraterrestrial bodies, and those monsters may be moving towards the earth from there?"

"As I said at the beginning, all of this is still speculation and prediction. No one knows what we should do and how to do it, but we must prepare and prevent it in advance - this will save time."

"I understand what you mean. The British government will certainly not sit idly by. I will find a proper way to talk to my cabinet colleagues and the opposition parties."

The Prime Minister paused for a moment. “But you know, Britain is not the Britain it was a hundred years ago - if you want to do something big, it’s not enough for us alone.”

“That’s exactly what we’re working towards,” Lynn said.

He stood up briskly and extended his hand to the Prime Minister.

"It's been a pleasant conversation today. I believe this is a good start. Minister Bones will explain everything to you."

"…Are you going to go ahead?"

"Well, Mr. Major, I think Her Majesty may be waiting at the church for a while, with an old friend of hers. I can't be too late."

Lin En smiled, bowed slightly politely, and disappeared from the Prime Minister's sight the next moment.

The Prime Minister was secretly shocked, and it took him a while to realize what was happening and turn his gaze to Amelia, who had barely made any sense just now.

"Ms. Bones, before we discuss business, could you please give me a detailed introduction to Mr. Eric? I can see that he must be a very remarkable wizard."

"Of course." Amelia nodded slightly. "He is the most powerful wizard in the world today. He is the one who defeated and killed the devil."

"The most...!" The Prime Minister was stunned, as if he didn't know how to express his surprise. "No wonder he looks unwell. But... although I know wizards have a way to keep their youth, he should still be very young, right?"

"Yes, he just turned 32 not long ago." Amelia also sighed, "It's an unprecedented achievement."

"No wonder." The Prime Minister sighed, "Let's talk about the specific ways of cooperation. To be honest, I can't believe that there are aliens on Earth."

"I felt the same way before, Mr. Prime Minister." Amelia said with deep sympathy, "But this is reality. All we can do is face and solve the problem, just like our cooperation this morning."

"Early this morning..."

Thinking of the battle that was reported as a gas explosion and the chaos in Parliament, the Prime Minister was a little amused.

He began to miss Lin En who had just left.

-----------------

Westminster Abbey, North Bank of the Thames.

The solemn and dignified ancient buildings are covered with a golden red gauze in the sunset, and the breath of history is overwhelming.

Beside the altar in the rear hall of the church, two white-haired old men sat opposite each other. There were no attendants or guards, only a table with three teacups on it.

"You've grown old, too, Dumbledore." The queen, who was about to turn seventy, smiled and said, "I still remember the scene when we first met - they said at the time that you had been the court wizard for half a century, and now it's almost half a century again. Time flies."

"So it's time for me to retire." Dumbledore stroked his beard. "I can still remember the first time I met Queen Victoria. She was just like you now, but I was still young."

"Like this young man who will be here soon?"

"No, younger than he is - I was less than twenty years old at that time." Dumbledore said wittily, "Although he looks young, he is already more than 30 years old."

"This really sounds a bit awkward to me. What do you mean by looking young? I'm obviously not old."

A soft and teasing voice echoed in the hall. Lin En suddenly appeared and sat on the empty chair.

But surprisingly, the Queen was not surprised at all, and even the hand holding the teacup did not move at all.

"Dumbledore also made his entrance in this way when he first met me. It scared me at the time, but now I'm used to it. Maybe you should scare my son or grandson in this way," she said half-jokingly.

"There will be a chance, but you are still very young, and I think we will be together for decades."

Lin En's words were half serious and half flattering, making the old man, who was conscious of his old age, smile from ear to ear.

Chapter 557 The Royal Family and the Wizard

"You two will probably get along pretty well, and that will put me at ease."

Dumbledore blinked and looked mischievously at the old man and the young man who were joking with each other as soon as they met.

"You just want to quit." Lin En gave him a meaningful look, "I'm not too late, am I?"

"We have just arrived," said Dumbledore. "Is the meeting with Amelia over?"

"I just met with Mr. Major and had a pleasant chat. Compared with his predecessor, this civilian prime minister is very capable and pragmatic. I believe Amelia will reach some consensus with him that is beneficial to both sides."

"That's great news. I was worried that John's personality might make you feel timid and intimidated." The Queen said with a smile, wanting to touch her corgis, but suddenly remembered that she had not brought them in.

Lynn also saw her thoughts and glanced outside the store inadvertently. Dumbledore also nodded.

The next second, two corgis, waving their short legs, flew in leisurely, with their dog leashes hanging to the side.

"Magic is such a magical ability. Unfortunately, not everyone can possess it... Where does it come from and why does it appear?"

"This question involves the nature of magic. I'm afraid we can't give a definite answer, Your Majesty." Dumbledore said regretfully.

"This is really a pity." The old woman said, but her expression was smiling. "Hundreds of years ago, the royal family also had descendants with magic, but it was a pity that it was not passed down."

"Is it about the Malfoy family?" Lynn asked with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth.

"It seems you know a lot." The queen's eyes were full of meaning. "It is indeed related to them, but it was a very long time ago. Even now, even the royal family's relationship with the magical world only stays with a very small number of wizards."

"I think this kind of relationship is just right. There is still a gap between wizards and ordinary people. No matter how hard we try, we can't completely cross it. It is most appropriate to maintain a certain distance and carry out corresponding cooperation."

"Like your Stargazer?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes, that's exactly my idea," said Lin En. "Large-scale integration is impractical, but small-scale interaction and mutual learning of knowledge are meaningful. Stargazer has proved this, and our next cooperation will also prove its value."

"Please allow me to ask a question, Mr. Eric." The Queen couldn't keep up with the rhythm and said slowly, "Dumbledore told me that you are a very good and powerful wizard. With such a magical power as magic, why do you want to learn from us?"

"Because of potential, Your Majesty, and ambition." Lynn looked at her seriously. "Wizards are powerful, but Muggles have also made amazing achievements in the past few hundred years. This is exactly why I agreed to let Dumbledore take this position."

“Exploring mysteries and pursuing truth are everyone’s rights. We just have different paths, and I am willing to respect and appreciate every path.”

"You are indeed a broad-minded person. Thank you. My question has been answered. You are welcome to become the next protector. I believe you will be competent."

Putting down the frightened Corgi, the queen stood up.

Dumbledore did the same. He took out a colorful medal from his arms, solemnly handed it back to the Queen, and then walked out of the hall alone.

"Since the mid-seventeenth century, the royal family has been the secret keeper of the wizarding community. This medal is a token of trust, representing the authority to act beyond secular power. For hundreds of years, there has only been one. It is both an honor and power, but also a responsibility."

With just a change of eyes, the kind old woman turned back into a dignified monarch. Although she had lost the absolute power to rule the country, she still retained her majesty and glory.

Lin En also restrained his smile, his expression solemn, watching the queen's every move.
