Chapter 252
Putting the ring on his left hand and stroking the ring with his right hand, John looked at himself in the mirror and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Let's go to the Ministry of Magic."
The silver mask was put on his face, John snapped his fingers, the fireplace burned with green flames, and he and Tang Mi walked in.
…
Chapter 276 The Ministry of Magic and Audition
When he came out again, John was already in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic.
It's resplendent, with dark wooden floors that have been polished to a polished finish.
The peacock blue ceiling, inlaid with glittering golden symbols, is constantly moving and changing.
The four walls are inlaid with glossy dark wooden boards, and a gilded fireplace is embedded in it.
John had just come out of one of the gilded fireplaces.
He opened a floo network connected to the Ministry of Magic, and it was Old Barty who took the lead.
In the center of the foyer is a fountain, and a group of pure gold statues stand in a circular pool.
Magic Brothers statue.
A handsome wizard and a beautiful witch, as well as centaurs, goblins and house elves looked at the two wizards with admiration.
In John's opinion, the Ministry of Magic really puts its money where its mouth is.
No matter how good these superficial skills are, if the magic is not in place, it will be in vain.
Perhaps they wanted to commemorate those hard-won victories, but so far, except for the house elves, the other centaurs and goblins were still unconvinced by the Ministry of Magic.
Especially the centaurs, who have never even been to the Ministry of Magic.
Goblins control the finances of the wizarding world.
"Lord Johnny Silverhand." Waiting here was a smiling wizard.
The safety inspector, Eric, goes to work every day with a smile on his face.
He was extra enthusiastic today because Johnny Silverhand had given him the money to replace his family's old Comet broomstick.
"Do you need to check your wand?" John naturally took out his wand.
Eric waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No need, Mr. Johnny Silverhand, Minister Crouch is waiting for you in the office."
"Thank you for the notice." John nodded and led Tang Mi into the golden door.
Eric personally watched John walk into the golden door, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
Returning to his position, he resumed his grave-visiting state.
"I brought a guest."
The voice sounded, and Eric looked with drooped eyelids, and Mr. Weasley came to him with Harry.
He said listlessly: "Come here."
There was no enthusiasm at all, even if the opposite was the famous savior Harry Potter.
After all, the savior didn't prepare Nimbus 2000 for himself, right?
Asking Harry to take out his wand, he took it slowly.
That speed can rival that of a sloth.
…
Behind the golden door is a smaller hall.
There are at least twenty elevators inside. On the way John walked over, any wizard who saw him would call him "Your Excellency."
Some of Tang Mi's former colleagues can't help but envy Tang Mi.
Although he no longer works at the Ministry of Magic, Tang Mi's status is much higher than them now.
"Your Excellency, please go first."
An elevator arrived, and the tall, unshaven wizard who was about to go up was holding a large cardboard box and quickly stopped the others and made way for John.
Others secretly thought that this guy was really discerning, and they all expressed with smiles that they were not in a hurry and asked you to go in first.
"Thanks, Bob."
In one sentence, the smiles on other people's faces were distorted.
But the big wizard Bob was extremely happy that Johnny Silverhand remembered his name.
The last person whose name was remembered was Ozzie Shield, who was now a candidate for head of the Auror Office.
He smiled so brightly that he nearly shook the chicken in the big cardboard box.
Close the golden fence door and the elevator slowly rises.
"It's really enthusiastic, isn't it, Tang Mi." During the peak period, there were only two people in the elevator.
Tang Mi smiled, shrugged and said, "I have never seen Eric's smile like that. He usually goes to work as heavy as going to the cemetery."
"Power and money are both good things." John rubbed the ring and reached the seventh level.
This is the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and Ludo is the boss here.
Speaking of Ludo, John said casually: "How much money does Ludo owe?"
"In the last vote, you promised to give him a 10% exemption, and now you still have about 5,400 Galleons." Tang Mi answered with a good memory.
“It looks like we should be able to pay it off next year.”
The people who were supposed to be doing business outside saw John inside and immediately stopped, smiling and letting John go first.
The elevator continues to run and reaches the sixth floor, which is where the Department of Magical Transportation is located.
On the fifth floor, John met Percy, now the director of the International Office of Magical Law.
With a stack of papers in hand, Percy stepped into the elevator.
"I moved out," said Percy. "My father thought I was too petty."
Percy had a hint of irritation on his face when he talked about it.
"That's good, at least it won't be embarrassing, right?" John chuckled, "Mr. Weasley can't arrange your life."
"I feel the same way."
On the fourth level, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Percy needed to deal with the illegal transportation of magical animals into the country.
The elevator continues to run, passing by the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters on the third floor and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement on the second floor.
They arrived at their destination, the minister's office on the first floor.
Walking into the office, Old Batty was reading documents.
The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
"I hope I didn't disturb you." John smiled and walked into the office.
Old Batty showed a smile on his serious face, stood up and shook hands with John.
"How is that possible, Mr. Johnny Silverhand."
John caught a glimpse of several documents on the table, concerning Dumbledore and the Dementors of Azkaban.
"Dumbledore is the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. This identity restricts the Ministry of Magic's decisions on many matters."
Old Buddy invited John to sit down. There were more white hairs on his short gray hair.
John chuckled and said, "Then take this. Dumbledore won't care about this. His pride is not in these titles, but in the unrivaled magic."
"Yeah, I think that's the case. He told me that the Ministry of Magic has no right to interfere in Hogwarts affairs." Old Barty said with some anger on his face.
Stroking the ring, John looked at Old Barty quietly and said meaningfully, "That's why we have to restrict it, Old Barty."
Old Barty saw with his own eyes Dumbledore's attitude as the Emperor of the Ministry of Magic. As the new minister, he did not want to do this.
After looking at the time, Old Batty said, "I think you wouldn't mind going down with me."
"Of course I don't mind," John Shiran stood up and said with a smile, "This is my honor."
Old Barty felt that with this 'second king' around, he would have more confidence to face Dumbledore.
They took the elevator down. John looked at the second underground floor and said unexpectedly: "Did you change places?"
Old Batty said with a straight face: "It is natural to host our savior and first king in a better place."
Old Barty didn't like unruly people, and unfortunately, Harry Potter was such a person.
"He has to cause trouble almost every year." Old Barty complained about Harry.
Indeed, Harry had learned something every year since he entered school.
Another time the Ministry of Magic was disgraced.
It was hard to get Old Batty to like him.
And almost everyone credits the savior Harry Potter with defeating Voldemort.
This made Old Batty very angry.
The period when Voldemort was active was when Barty Sr. was in charge of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. It was he who used iron-blooded means to approve Aurors' use of the Unforgivable Curse to deal with Death Eaters.
It can be said that Old Barty's contribution during that period is not as good as Dumbledore, the nuclear bomb in the wizarding world, and he can at least be ranked in the top three.
As a result, people only remembered Harry Potter, the savior, and Barty Sr. was directly forgotten because of Barty Jr.'s incident.
If it weren't for John, old Barty would probably still be forgotten in some corner now.
This time they changed positions to remind them of what old Barty had done in that courtroom and who was the man who led the Ministry of Magic to fight against Voldemort!
The elevator goes all the way to the ninth floor underground.
This is the most mysterious place in the Ministry of Magic.
John walked out and looked at the black door at the end of the corridor, with a strange color in his eyes.
Department of Mysteries.
Old Batty turned into the next staircase and shouted to John: "Sir, get down this way."
"Oh, this is my first time here."
John said casually and took a deep look at the black door of the Department of Mysteries.
There was something he wanted there, but it wasn't a good opportunity yet.
Even Old Batty couldn't easily mobilize the things inside.
Go into the stairs and go all the way down to the bottom.
This place made John feel like he was back in the corridor where he took Potions class.
Use torches on the rough walls to make your way to the tenth courtroom.
They pushed open the door and entered.
"Ah, Secretary Crouch, and...the Lord Johnny Silverhand."
…
Chapter 277 Courtroom and Trial
The girl's high-pitched voice gave John goosebumps, and he looked up.
Even though he is wearing a red robe, the pink collar underneath is still exposed.
A broad, flabby face and a contrived little girl's voice appeared in the mouth of such an aunt.
The visual impact on John is extremely strong.
At this time, Umbridge saw Johnny Silverhand coming, with a look of surprise on her face.
