Chapter 50 Floo Fans and the Ministry of Magic
·
He Dian Bai Kai Shui
Soul followed Amelia across the driveway and into a house diagonally across from Ellison's house.
"Do you know how to use Floo powder?" Amelia walked straight to the fireplace, picked up a glass bottle containing silver powder, and turned around to ask.
Soul shook his head.
He knew what Floo powder was and how to use it, but he had never come into contact with it. He didn't dare to nod. If it were teleported to other inaccessible places, it would be a disaster.
"It's very simple." Amelia casually lit a blazing flame in the fireplace.
Sur's eyes lit up. Is this a silent and wandless spell?
Amelia glanced at Suer calmly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Sprinkle the powder in, and the flame will turn green due to the floo powder. Then you only need to stand inside and pronounce 'Ministry of Magic' clearly and firmly. This fireplace is only linked to one location, so you don't have to worry about pronouncing it wrong. The words will appear somewhere else.”
"Of course, there is still danger. The worst thing is that you get stuck in the middle and can't get out."
"Remember, pinch your elbows and don't panic. If you're scared, just close your eyes. I'll come first. Pay attention to my operations. I'll wait for you over there."
"Don't worry, it's easy."
Soul nodded and watched intently as Amelia sprinkled a handful of silver powder into the stove, then walked in and read out loud---'Ministry of Magic'
Green flames roared and enveloped her body, and then disappeared.
Sur followed closely, imitating Amelia's method and pouring some silver powder into his hand, and sprinkled it into the fireplace.
The flame exploded the moment it came into contact with the Floo powder, and its color changed from red to bright green.
Suer reached out and carefully tested it. After finding that it would indeed not hurt anyone, he stepped in with confidence.
"Ministry of Magic."
Feeling the green flames licking his whole body, Sur opened his eyes wide and read the destination loudly.
The feeling of using floo powder is very strange. It's like my body has been torn into a noodle and then dragged straight into a tunnel. A whistling sound like wind or fire can be heard next to my ears.
Green flames swirl wildly around the body, which may make people feel dizzy if they look directly at the flames.
Sur closed his eyes and forced himself not to look at the flames, but to look at the situation outside through the flames. He could vaguely see a series of furnace doors flying past, and through one of the furnace doors he saw a house. People were sitting around the fireplace opening presents.
How many minutes had passed? Or maybe just a few seconds?
Soul felt himself being pushed by the fireplace. He staggered a few steps forward and was supported by a pair of hands. Looking up was a smiling Amelia.
"Are you okay? It's a little uncomfortable to use floo powder for the first time, but you'll be fine once you get used to it."
"I'm fine, thank you." Suer shook his head and stood up straight.
They were standing in a very spacious corridor. The floor was made of smooth and shiny dark marble tiles. No, it seemed to be wood?Maybe a plank that looks like stone?
The color of the ceiling is peacock blue, inlaid with dots of golden objects, forming golden symbols one after another, swaying and changing on the ceiling.
On both sides of the corridor are one after another gorgeous gilded fireplaces. Sur just came out of one of them. From time to time, green flames ignited in the fireplaces, and then a wizard emerged from them. In some fireplaces, only a ghost appeared. Half a hand and a package, at this time a special wizard will step forward to take it.
It seems that Floo powder is more than just a means of transportation.
"Let's go?" Amelia asked softly.
Suer nodded and followed Amelia towards the end of the corridor, which looked like a magnificent hall.
Many wizards greeted Amelia along the way and then looked at Sur curiously.
It seems that my cheap aunt seems to have a high status in the Ministry of Magic?
The first thing you see after walking out of the corridor is a fountain. In the middle of the circular pool stands a group of golden statues - a noble wizard holding a wand, surrounded by a witch, a goblin, and a The centaur and a house elf both had exaggerated expressions of admiration on their faces.
There was an open space in front of the fountain, where many wizards appeared and disappeared. Suer saw several witches passing by the fountain throwing a few coins into the pool.
There is also a wishing fountain in the wizarding world?This was Su Er's first thought, and then he saw a stained small sign with the words ---
"All proceeds from the Magic Brothers Fountain are donated to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries"
Got it, it’s a charity fund.
Soul followed Amelia through a golden door and turned into a small foyer, where many wizards were standing.
"Have a nice Christmas, Ms. Bones." A man with an unshaven beard smiled flatteringly at Amelia.
Amelia has changed since she came to the Ministry of Magic, and her expression has become very serious. Suer has not seen her smile at anyone along the way.
This similar expression reminded Soul of Professor McGonagall from Hogwarts.
She just responded with a slight hum, extremely arrogant...
"Ding dong..." The elevator closest to them made a sound, and the man stepped forward and pressed the button. "I'm here to help you. Do you want to go to the second floor?"
Amelia glanced at the man lightly and said coldly, "No need to trouble you, Mr. Scowan."
"That's right, Ms. Bones." The man pressed the number '2' button in the elevator and exited automatically.
Su Er followed Amelia into the elevator. When the elevator moved with a rumble, he saw the man cast a surprised look at him through the iron fence.
"I have to be like this, otherwise there will always be people who think I'm easy to talk to and ask me to reduce some of their family's crimes." Amelia tilted her head and explained to Suer softly as the elevator moved.
Soul nodded silently.
The elevator was moving very fast, and there was another "ding-dong" sound.
"The second level is the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, including the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic, the Auror Command and the Wizengamot Administration..."
With the sound, the gears pulled the iron fence open.
Soul followed Amelia through the long corridor with doors on both sides. When he passed a window, a bright beam of sunlight poured in.
"These windows are enchanted. Whatever the weather is outside, the weather will be displayed here." Amelia noticed the curiosity in Sur's eyes and explained.
It is the same as the ceiling of the Hogwarts Great Hall, Soul judged silently.
Then, they turned a corner, passed through two heavy oak doors, and entered an open area divided into many cubicles. A sign hung on the door of one of the cubicles, scrawled with the words - Ao Luo headquarters.
Sur secretly glanced inside and saw a witch sitting boredly on a stool, her feet resting on a table filled with messy candy wrappers, shaking.
He recognized the witch.
They continued walking forward, passed the last row of cubicles, and stopped in front of an independent office door.
"We're here," Amelia said. "Will you wait for me outside, or come into my office?"
Suer glanced at the sign hanging on the door - "Office of the Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement" and shook his head.
"I'll wait for you here. Try to hurry up. I want to go back as soon as possible to accompany my sister."
"Do you know how to use Floo powder?" Amelia walked straight to the fireplace, picked up a glass bottle containing silver powder, and turned around to ask.
Soul shook his head.
