Chapter 478: Without Hufflepuff, the magical world is nothing but sand.

"You said you are my father's subordinate now?" Sun Zhu's eyes widened. To be honest, she had never thought about what her father could do in that seemingly casual new department. Career comes.

But when she saw the long-lost senior Cecilia, wearing a smart and slim suit, sitting opposite her, talking about her father's job with a smile, she still felt a deep sense of unreality.

"Yes, Uncle Sun is very powerful. More than ten people listen to his orders." Karina stuffed steak into her mouth and said vaguely: "The most amazing thing is that when he said he wanted to find someone, Asking each department to send a few people to support, there are actually a lot of people willing to help. "

"That's not surprising."

Dad worked everywhere in the past few years and helped out in various companies, which earned him a lot of favorability. When it comes time to shake someone up, anyone who cares about their feelings will be willing to give them some face.

"You look like father and daughter at first glance." Fina took a sip of juice. "Both of you are very popular. They are the kind who don't seem to be able to fight, but are actually amazingly explosive."

"What? Did my dad hit someone?" Sun Zhu's eyes widened, "What happened?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Cecilia took a piece of pudding and elegantly cut it into pieces with a small fork. "It's just that someone was not convinced by Mr. Sun. He said some weird words and stopped him from going out to rescue people, but he slapped him He pushed it out a few meters away and sent it directly out of the Financial Secretary's gate."

"Ah, that's it. Then my dad is really good at persuading people with his virtue."

Martial ethics is also virtue.

"What position does my father hold now?" Sun Zhu asked curiously, "How many departments does the Financial Secretary have now?"

"There are only two departments, the Taxation Office and the Other Revenue Allocation Office. The director is Ms. Dani Aibo, and Mr. Sun is equivalent to the deputy director."

"Oh... I barely understand. I remember he was in the tax office before."

"Not only that, actually both departments now listen to him." Cecilia explained: "But this is also because there are basically not many people willing to do such a thankless job. Minister Bones directly told the Financial Secretary Responsible, the employees of this department are regarded as her confidants, most of them are mixed-blood and hemp wizards, and they are all young. "

Sun Zhu seemed to understand: "Sounds like a place where it is easy to be targeted? It should be difficult to survive, right? Has my father ever encountered serious difficulties, or even danger?"

"There must be some, but I think he can handle it completely." Cecilia nodded with a smile, "I applied to be transferred because I was curious about this. After all, it is a new department, and there are many aspects that are immature. It needs to be improved urgently. In the eyes of many people, it is not necessary at all, or it is an extremely naive and redundant idea. It is entirely the result of Minister Bones's autocratic power, and few people are optimistic about it. But it is also a challenge, and I like this. A place where you can participate in building the history of the wizarding world.”

"History of the wizarding world? Is it such an exaggeration?"

"Ahem, to deduct some funds from wizards who have no sense of paying taxes, in my opinion, is indeed worthy of being recorded in the history of magic." Cecilia was helpless, "This time, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and other wizards with their own industries, have developed a great deal of resistance to Muggles."

"Because they think this bad culture was learned from Muggles?"

"More than that, the main reason is that Minister Bones is close to Muggles. They feel that their authority and interests have been double violated. I have even heard some extreme people say that Hufflepuff graduates should be banned from entering the Ministry of Magic in the future..."

"What?" Karina, who didn't hear a word from beginning to end, but became angry when she heard Hufflepuff was treated differently, slapped the table and stood up, as if she were a robot triggered by keywords, "Who dares to do this? Our college has the largest number of graduates. If we are not allowed to participate, then this place will collapse sooner or later. The magical world without Hufflepuff will be... woo woo!"

A piece of pastry was stuffed into Karina's mouth. Fina took back her hand and handed her a glass of water: "Okay, don't get excited. This matter is very complicated, and it can't be decided by just talking."

Sun Zhu also laughed: "Yes, what does it mean to be the leader of the magic world? Without us, sooner or later, it will be dispersed. And it is a ridiculous and immature idea to roughly divide it based on the academy. I can only understand that this is The person who spoke was really anxious.”

"I really admire you. Are you really eating?" Tonks, who had listened for five minutes but found that they were still talking nonstop, said helplessly: "Cecilia deserves to be you, I shouldn't put you there." Leave it alone with Zhu. I left for a short while and you turned the dinner into a work report meeting for your department. You are so talented!"

Cecilia smiled and took another bite of pudding: "Then let's change the topic, like Charlie Weasley?"

"Ah, shut up!" Tonks snorted angrily, "If you do this again, I won't tell you anything in the future!"

"Don't be angry, let's stop talking and let's eat." Sun Zhu clasped his fists, "I blame me. I originally wanted to ask something about my father, but we ended up getting further and further apart."

"Speaking of which, where is that boy Digory?" Tonks asked, "He is almost your shadow."

"Newt just sent someone to take him away. I don't know what happened." Sun Zhu spread his hands, "He hasn't eaten much."

"I just received a message from Captain Shacklebolt." Tonks said: "The person has been found."

Sun Zhu sat up straight: "How is the situation?"

"The man was found by your father's people in an abandoned public bathing place. MacMillan should be fine, at least he didn't have any bloodletting or anything like that. He was just unconscious and has been sent to St. Mungo's. But. …”

Several girls raised their heads and looked at her blankly. Tonks's expression looked very angry: "I'm afraid the situation is not good for the newly born Muggle baby."

"It is foreseeable that newborn babies are very fragile." Fina murmured, "These are inhuman lunatics."

Karina let out a long sigh: "It's so pitiful. Is there really no way to save her?"

"We're trying our best, but St. Mungo's has never experienced treating a Muggle child at such a young age. They plan to secretly send him to a Muggle hospital, but Muggles probably can't cure magical injuries, so it's very difficult to deal with."

Fina clenched her fists: "I have long said that this will not work. Compared with wizards, Muggles are inherently weak, and for Muggles who are attacked by magic, no wizard will bother to save them, even if they are lucky. , many times wizards don’t have that ability.”

Sun Zhu shook her hand: "So the future depends on your efforts and on us to change together."

"Bamboo, there's something else I have to tell you in advance." Tonks hesitated: "In addition to finding the hostages, we also captured two suspects. Captain Shacklebolt is already on trial. But they said that they did this, It’s about your father.”
