Chapter 183 182 Ministry of Magic

"Floo fan?"

Harry became even more confused,

Feeney nodded and explained,

"Compared to the magic of Apparition, which is more difficult to master, Floo powder is the most common way of travel in the magic world. Moving through the fireplace linked to the Floo network, well, I will take you to experience it when I have the opportunity in the future. Compared to Apparition and floo network movement are more comfortable, but you will get some dust on your body, which is not very neat. In fact, if you are alone outside and need to go somewhere, you can hold your wand high. , a knight bus will appear next to you in a short while, and it usually only takes a few Notts or Sickles to take you to where you want to go, but the feeling is also Uncomfortable. There is also the Portkey, which is a very simple magical creation, but is strictly prohibited from private production by the Ministry of Magic. Of course, as long as they don't know about it, I will take you to try it one by one when I have the chance."

Although Harry was still a little confused, he understood that the most important thing at this time was to pick up his unmasked godfather.

Harry then took some time to observe his surroundings. This was a set of very desolate roads, with only a few shabby-looking offices on both sides of the street, a tavern and a dump truck that was almost overflowing.

This was very different from what he had originally imagined the Ministry of Magic to be.

Finny obviously understood what Harry was thinking. He felt the same way when he first came here. He took Harry to a dilapidated red phone booth and said,

"Here we are, this is the guest entrance. Ron, his father and the others take another route to work. Okay, go in, Harry."

As he said that, he pulled Harry and squeezed into the small phone booth, then closed the door smoothly.

Finny took the phone off the phone device through Harry.

Harry said,

"Um, Feeny, I think it's broken,"

Feeney smiled and said,

"It doesn't matter, I'm not using it to make calls anyway. Speaking of which, the Muggle invention of the telephone is really great,"

As he said this, he did not stop moving his hands, turning the dial.

"Well, 6, 2, 4, 4, 2? It should be this,"

As the number was dialed, a woman's cold voice sounded in the phone booth. The voice did not come from the phone, but was around the two of them, as if there was an invisible woman standing beside them.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and what you are here to do."

Feeney said,

"Well, young Phineas Black and Harry Potter are here to pick up Sirius Black from prison."

The cold voice paused, as if he didn't expect Feeney and Harry to arrive. After a moment, he said,

"Okay, thank you. Guests, please pick up the badge and pin it on your clothes,"

The sound fell, followed by the sound of coins falling. Harry looked over at the sound and saw two coin-sized badges sliding out of the metal chute where coins were supposed to be put. On them were written, Feeney and Ha. Li's name, and what they came to do,

Finny took the one with his name on it and pinned it to the front of his clothes. Seeing this, Harry followed suit.

Then the phone booth began to tremble and sink to the ground,

The sidewalk outside the glass grew higher and higher until the surrounding area was plunged into darkness and a harsh grinding sound sounded.

About a minute later, a thin ray of light appeared at his feet, and the phone booth finally stopped.

It’s still the same woman’s voice just now,

"The Ministry of Magic hopes you have a good day,"

Finny smiled and said to Harry,

"Although I don't like some of the Ministry of Magic's methods and principles, they still do a good job in preserving their reputation."

As he spoke, he pushed open the phone booth door and took Harry out.

What comes into view is a very long and resplendent corridor. The ground is a dark floor that is polished and reflective like a mirror. The peacock blue ceiling is inlaid with some mysterious and ever-changing runes.

The walls on all four sides are also jet black, with dark wooden boards that reflect like mirrors, and inside are some fireplaces with gold rims.

Just when Harry was surprised by all this, a burst of blue flame suddenly appeared in a fireplace, and then a male wizard walked out of the flame. With his appearance, some wizards gradually appeared in other fireplaces. figure,

"That's the Floo Network, that's how most wizards come to work at the Ministry of Magic,"

As he said that, he led Harry through the corridor and arrived at the hall of the Ministry of Magic.

In the middle of the hall of the Ministry of Magic, there is a magic fountain. In the middle of the circular pool stands a group of huge golden statues.

The tallest among them is a noble wizard, holding his wand high and pointing straight to the sky. Surrounded by a beautiful witch, centaurs, goblins, and house elves,

The water column of the fountain gushes out from the tip of the wand, and the surrounding sculptures also have some water flowing out, making a tinkling sound.

At the bottom of the fountain is engraved the following writing:

All proceeds from the Magic Brothers Fountain are donated to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

Seeing these words, Feeney smiled disdainfully. Only part of the money was donated to the hospital, and the rest went into the hands of officials from various departments of the Ministry of Magic.

It has always been the various pureblood families that have been donating money to the hospital.

"Well, this way, Harry."

Feeney took Harry in one of the directions, passed through a crowded crowd, and arrived at an office door with no one outside.

"Ha, this is it."

Feeney said with emotion, then opened the door and walked in.

"Huh? Which one?"

There were two young wizards in the office. They heard the movement of the door and subconsciously asked,

Then he saw Feeney and Harry and stood up from his seat in a hurry.

"Master Black, are you here to pick up your brother?"

Feeney nodded. The families of the two wizards in front of him had a good relationship with the Black family. Therefore, the two of them could only stay in this department that handled miscellaneous matters, rather than being promoted along with Fudge.

One of the wizards saw Feeney nodding and said hurriedly,

"Sirius was picked up from Azkaban two days ago and is now in the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing this, Feeney was stunned for a moment.

He thought he was going to Azkaban with the staff of the Ministry of Magic to pick up Sirius according to normal procedures. He picked up Sirius. Sirius had been picked up before.

It seems that this time the pressure on the Ministry of Magic is more serious and important than Finny imagined.
