Chapter 3 Characters who boost confidence

Xia Ran hugged his things and arrived in front of the elevator. There happened to be an elevator on the second floor. There was no one inside, and no one wanted to go down except him. He followed a group of notes and entered the elevator, pressing the button. After reaching the button in the main hall, the elevator door slammed shut. Xia Ran deliberately moved a step to the right to avoid the notes flying above her head.

This is a means of communication between various departments of the Ministry of Magic. Notes are used to convey messages. Owls have been used before, but the mess was incredible. There were feces everywhere on the desk, and the entire Ministry of Magic was covered in a smell all day long. .

Later, the Ministry of Magic had to reform and produced this lavender paper strip. The wings of the paper airplane were stamped with the "Ministry of Magic" stamp.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is on the second floor of the Ministry of Magic, very close to the surface. The entire Ministry of Magic is located underground in London and is divided into several floors. The main hall is on the eighth floor. He needs to go to the main hall to leave the Ministry of Magic and go home through the Floo network.

The elevator stopped at the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. Notes flew in and out, and Ministry of Magic employees came in and out. But when they finally reached the eighth floor, there were still only Xia Ran was alone, and it happened to be working time. No one would leave the Ministry of Magic except Xia Ran, who had resigned.

The main hall of the Ministry of Magic is relatively large in size and is magnificent. The dark wooden floor has been polished to a high level and is eye-catching. The peacock blue ceiling is inlaid with sparkling golden symbols. It is constantly moving and changing, like a huge sky. bulletin board. The four walls are lined with glossy dark wooden boards, and many gold-plated fireplaces are embedded in the wooden boards. This is where Ministry of Magic employees normally enter and exit the Ministry of Magic.

In the middle of the foyer is a fountain, and in the middle of a circular pool stands a group of pure gold statues, which are larger than life. The tallest among them is a noble wizard, holding a wand high, pointing straight to the sky, and a beautiful A witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house elf surrounded him. Among them, the centaurs, goblins and house elves looked at the two wizards with infinite admiration. Shining beams of light came from The tip of the wizard's wand, the arrowhead of the centaur, the tip of the goblin's hat, and the ear of the house elf spurted out, and there were tinkling, tinkling, and gurgling sounds everywhere.

There is a rusty wooden sign next to the pool, which reads: "All proceeds from the Magic Brothers Fountain are donated to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies." There are a few gold Galleons at the bottom of the pool, but the main one is Silver Sickle , mostly copper Nat.

There were very few people in the foyer. After all, it was still working time. The wizard on duty was hiding behind a copy of the Daily Prophet. It was unclear whether he was reading the newspaper or taking the opportunity to take a nap.

Xia Ran walked by the golden fountain in the middle of the foyer, and suddenly remembered something. Holding the luggage in one hand - he had cast a lightness spell, it was almost lighter than a piece of clothing - and took out 10 gold coins from his pocket. Galleons, thrown into the golden fountain.

Gold Galleons are the common currency in the magic world, with the highest purchasing power. Next there are Silver Sickles and Copper Nuts. Xia Ran lives alone, spends very little money, and works at the Ministry of Magic - this is indeed a comparison. A good job - and he is not staying in a marginal department. After working for eight years, of course he has saved some money, plus the property left by his parents, Xia Ran can't be called rich, but he is indeed not short of money. .

The Weasley family is just the opposite of him. They are a big family and spend a lot of money, and they all rely on Mr. Weasley to work alone to make money to support the family. It is quite stressful and life is tight. Fortunately, the Weasley family Their eldest son Bill and second son Charlie have both graduated from Hogwarts, which has relieved the burden on the Weasleys.

"I hope it will succeed in two days." Xia Ran thought to herself.

"Xia Ran, you are very caring."

Two people happened to come out of a fireplace one after another. The first one was a dark-skinned strong man, tall, but bald. Perhaps he had cleaned his hair himself, and he wore a gold ring on one ear.

The other was a witch with a pale, heart-shaped face, sparkling black eyes, and short hair a bright pink.

They happened to see Xia Ran dumping the golden galleons.

"Kingsley, Tonks, are you on a mission?" Xia Ran asked with a smile. He recognized these two people. The dark-skinned man was Kingsley Shacklebolt, and the pink-haired witch was Nymphadora... Tonks, both of them are Aurors, and the Auror office is located next to the Office for the Abuse of Magic where Charan used to work. They are both subordinate departments of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and are both on the second floor of the Ministry of Magic.

These two people have appeared in the original time and space, and will also be a member of the Order of the Phoenix re-established by Dumbledore. Tonks seemed to have died in the final battle of Hogwarts, together with her husband the werewolf Lupine. , leaving a son who was raised by Tonks' parents, which is really sad. Of course, the second-generation Dark Lord Voldemort has not yet been resurrected, and Dumbledore will not reorganize the Order of the Phoenix. This is an organization designed to deal with Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters.

You know, the current Minister of Magic Fudge is very afraid of Dumbledore.

However, that was all when Harry Potter was in seventh grade. Now Harry Potter has just finished his first grade, and his second grade hasn't even started yet, so it's still very early.

The dark-skinned strong man Kingsley spread his hands and said: "Xia Ran, you know, the mission of an Auror cannot be easily disclosed to outsiders."

Xia Ran made an apologetic gesture.

Looking at the luggage in Xia Ran's hand, Tonks couldn't help but ask: "Did you really resign?"

"Of course, I think the professor's job is more suitable for me, if I can succeed. Well, as long as Professor Dumbledore thinks I meet the conditions." Xia Ran smiled and said.

"I wish you success."

"I believe you, Xia Ran." Tonks followed Kingsley into an elevator, and winked at Xia Ran before the elevator door closed.

Xia Ran shook her head and laughed, and reached the fireplace on the right. The left side was used by employees coming to the Ministry of Magic from home, and the right side was used by employees leaving the Ministry of Magic.

The Floo Network is a common mode of transportation in the wizarding world. If two fireplaces are connected to each other - mainly the Floo Network is connected, just like the railway tracks in the Muggle world - then grab the Floo Powder and speak clearly and accurately. As soon as he speaks the name of the destination, the flames will engulf the wizard - of course not causing any harm to the wizard - and as soon as he opens his eyes, he has reached the destination.

Xia Ran picked up a handful of sparkling powder, walked to the stove, and threw the powder into the flame.

With a cry, the flames turned green, almost taller than the Xiaran people.

"Fremont Manor."

He walked straight into the fire, called "Fremont Manor," and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fremont Manor, the house left by his parents, is said to be a manor, but it is actually just a house with a garden behind it. Because Xia Ran doesn't manage it very much, goblins often appear.

He walked out of his fireplace, tapped his wand, and the luggage in his hand naturally flew around, flew to where they should be, and then hung and folded it himself.

Xia Ran was a little hungry, so she lit the wand and made two portions of food. He always had a large appetite. Then he waved the wand again, and the pots and bowls automatically jumped into the sink and started rinsing, without him needing to worry too much.

"That's what magic is good for, it's convenient!" Xia Ran sighed, but he concentrated slightly and frowned slightly when he looked at the level 4 (elementary) magic power on his panel.

With level 4 magic, if you apply to be a professor at Hogwarts, you probably have no hope of success.

"Well, not necessarily." Xia Ran put his chin on his hand. He remembered that the next school year would be Harry Potter's second year, and Gilderoy Lockhart, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was simply a Ordinary wizards - oh, no, Lockhart is still a master at the Oblivion Curse, and he is also a best-selling author and very popular with witches.

However, in terms of magic power level and proficiency in spells, Xia Ran is still much better than Lockhart.

Thinking of this, Xia Ran suddenly became more confident. He waved his magic wand, and a pile of books flew to the table in front of him and spread out automatically. He still wanted to review them temporarily.
