Chapter 392 Hanging out

Sneaking is indeed very suitable for the current situation.

Perfectly dodged the first round of cross-examination by Sirius and Mr. Weasley.

After thinking for less than three minutes, Hermione and Robert happily left the Auror office together.

Compared to the Maple Leaf Kingdom's Ministry of Magic, which has its office hidden in the Science Museum, the Maple Leaf Kingdom's Ministry of Magic is built directly under the White Hall. Basically, it can be said that it is a neighbor to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom.

Whitehall is located in London, the capital of the corrupt country. It is a very unusual street.

There’s a reason why it’s called unusual. Look at what’s around this street!

Ministry of Defence, Foreign Office, Home Office, Admiralty, Scotland Yard, Houses of Parliament, Downing Street...

The highest institutions of the military and political circles are here, so that most of the time, people use Whitehall to refer to the British executive branch.

However, Robert had no intention of going up to take a look at the moment. He just walked into the administrative center casually. If he was unlucky, he might get busted.

He and Hermione were wandering around the Ministry of Magic. In fact, the Ministry of Magic was quite busy, because they were responsible for the daily lives of thousands of wizards in an entire country.

Wizards are hidden outside the Muggle world. There are few large-scale gathering places. Villages may be the limit. This means that wizards cannot set up permanent administrative agencies in villages like Muggles. There is even a police sergeant assigned to each household to handle various cases, while all cases in the country are handled by the Ministry of Magic.

Wizards are all emotional creatures. Even two lovers who love each other will fight non-stop for three days and three nights when their emotions break out. Then there is a half chance that they will become honorary members of St. Mungo's. Chances are you'll be a guest at the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic.

They walked around on the first floor and were kicked off. When they arrived on the third floor, a group of wizards were running around in a hurry. Almost every open space was filled with people. They had no choice but to get off. On the fourth floor, it was relatively quiet, especially the Centaur Liaison Office. There was only one employee sitting inside and yawning, but the Beast Office was quite lively.

The two got closer and discovered that someone had blocked the door to the Beast's office, demanding compensation from their employees Bob and Amos for the casualties and damage to the foyer caused by their prank.

Bob and Amos were naturally unwilling. They came to the office, punched in, and ran away like thieves.

This made the visitor furious and cursed everyone in the office at the door.

The Beast Office is not the only place where wizards exist. In fact, many magical creatures cultivated by wizards are held here.

Of course, these little guys will not be killed directly. Generally speaking, wizards will try to tame them. If they succeed, they will treat them as newly discovered magical creatures and find a safe and effective way to cultivate them. Some wizards are harmful, and wizards will try to destroy them.

Just like the basilisk, everyone knows that they are powerful and very obedient, but because they only listen to orders in Parseltongue, the basilisk is a magical creature that is prohibited from hatching.

The elevator miraculously did not stop on the fifth floor. According to the lady with a cold voice, something went wrong with the Director of the International Magical Cooperation Department. The fifth floor was closed until the cause and effect were investigated.

Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation...

Robert could only think of one person, Mr. Barty Crouch, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.

However, the biggest stain in this boss's life is probably that he personally sent his son to Azkaban, and then got his son out of prison with his wife's pleading.

Thinking of this, Robert suddenly had an idea, could it be that this old man's affair was revealed?

He immediately shook his head. He shouldn't be so unlucky. Mr. Barty Crouch was very cautious and never invited others to his home. How could he be found to be hiding a criminal?

It was probably the aftermath of the previous mistake about who was the culprit, Sirius or Pettigrew.

Putting this behind them, Robert and Hermione continued downward. They looked at the broomsticks and the fireplace.

There are many unique broomsticks in the Broomstick Management and Control Bureau. After each broomstick is produced, it must be sent here to be inspected at all levels to ensure that it is flawless before it is put on the market. Therefore, we often receive some made broomsticks here. Samples brought by people with a broomstick fetish.

The two of them eavesdropped for a long time, and gained some understanding of the performance of various broomsticks.

For example, Sweep's short-term acceleration performance is superior, Comet's emergency braking effect is outstanding, and Nimbus' broom is unparalleled in speed.

It can be said that all brooms have their own unique features, depending on their core magic, and this is a secret that every broom manufacturer must keep.

Hermione was not very interested in the broom, but she was very satisfied with the charm on it and had the urge to dismantle the broom by hand.

In fact, Robert felt the same way. Listening to those manufacturers constantly bragging about how special and perfect their brooms were, he wanted to take apart all the brooms and study them carefully.

However this is unrealistic.

The price of any broom is not low. If you dismantle dozens of them for research, the price will be second to none. If the broom company thinks that they want to study their core technology, then the broom manufacturer will definitely be angry. Reported to the Ministry of Magic.

Robert felt that he was still young and it was too late to visit the dark room of the Ministry of Magic so early, so he could only give up the idea.

One level further down is the Department of Magical Sports and Sports. In fact, their main job is for Quidditch, whether it is the World Quidditch Tournament held every four years or the friendly matches between teams in the Kingdom every year. , you need to apply to them and invite relevant personnel to come and judge.

However, Robert and Hermione were not that enthusiastic about Quidditch. Under the warm invitation of Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, the two left this floor in a panic.

This guy is an old gambler, and his gambling products are extremely poor, and he has no regard for the dignity of an elder. If Robert hadn't seen that the situation was bad, he pulled Hermione and ran away, this guy could have chased her all the way to the elevator.

Just for two people to place bets on a certain game in the future.

However, this floor is not limited to Quidditch. You can see a game called Gobstone that has its own club here. However, this game is so niche that it is shockingly difficult to understand the specific operation process and marbles. The game is pretty much the same, the only difference is that if you lose, the marbles you use as marbles will spray an unusually foul-smelling liquid in your face.

As they grow older, wizards are more concerned about their image, and single-player games like Gobstone are becoming less and less popular.
