Chapter 5 The Lost Box
The political system of the magic world is very different from the Muggle world.
The United Nations, in name only, does not have much power. It is controlled by the five major rogue states, and the Secretary-General is just an empty arsenal.
The magic world is different.
The International Wizards Federation is a real power department that can interfere with the sovereignty of various countries.
The famous "International Wizards Federation Confederation Law" is a research, formulation and then strictly implemented by this institution.
The Federation can also review draft legislation of various countries through the International Office of Magical Law to ensure that it does not conflict with the Confidentiality Act.
If they believe there is a conflict, the draft legislation of the Ministry of Magic of various countries will be immediately returned and declared invalid.
In other words, if the UK introduces a law, it must first be recognized by the Federation.
The operational space here is bigger!
If someone says you can’t do it, you can’t do it, and it can’t do it!
This is a way of interfering with sovereignty.
Therefore, the diplomatic department of the British Ministry of Magic is actually the "internal diplomacy" under the Federation, and its independence is greatly restricted.
The members of the Federation are appointed by the Ministers of the Magic of various countries, and must also be approved by Wisengamo. Both are indispensable!
Of course they have to fight for their own interests.
Dumbledore is a British member of the Federation, and he was elected as president in the Federation's election!
But the president cannot cover up the situation with one hand. He has natural constraints and risks being beaten away.
As long as Minister Fudge disagrees with Dumbledore becoming a member of the Federation... you are not even a member, and it is even more impossible for you to continue to serve as president!
If William sends Hermione to the position of minister and then becomes the president of the Federation, that would be the real one-handed and firm position.
Hermione can't get him off!
This is how officials protect each other.
In addition, there are other aspects of the constraints of the Federation.
It can interfere in the internal affairs of various countries to a certain extent, but cannot be directly managed. It must issue orders through the international magic and legal offices of various countries.
This office is equivalent to an intermediary, lubricant, and the Federation issued an order, and the Legal Office is responsible for conveying it to the Ministry of Magic.
Theoretically, Dumbledore had no power to directly order wizards within a certain country.
As Crigan said, he did not receive orders from the Legal Office, so he naturally ignored Dumbledore, even if he was the president.
This is to fight a time difference. I want to solve Newt first in this process!
Dumbledore was caught off guard and had to grant authorization to William first, allowing him, a young representative, to exercise the rights of Wiesengamor, England.
William has no right to extradite Newt, but he has the right to visit Scarmand, which was granted by Wiesengamor.
It is also his purpose today!
Crigan could not refuse, and he was silent for a moment, then walked towards the hall with William and Hermione.
Miss Costa waved and told William that she got off work at eleven o'clock and after visiting Scamander, don't forget to come to find her.
French girls are just passionate and unrestrained, but in this regard, English girls are far from that.
Of course, English girls are much more powerful in violence, and for the sake of their own safety, William will definitely not come.
The three of them walked through the vestibule and came to the central hall. From a distance, a huge statue was placed in the most conspicuous position.
The statue has iconic elements of French colors, hat badge and Phrygian hat.
There is also a row of mottos under the statue: Inanté, E-woman outé, Conjuré!
Hermione looked at the words curiously, and William explained: "The motto means 'casting, casting spells, summoning'."
"How is it?" Clicang also spoke fluent English. "Do you like this motto from us?"
William frowned, and the French liked to ask British wizards such questions.
Furong has asked several times.
This is certainly not a question that can be answered easily.
Admit you like this sentence. The French will think you are a very unromantic wizard, but they like simplicity and rudeness.
He said you hate it, and he also said you have daily breast milk methods.
You are clearly trying to make me fat tiger!
"The wizard who said this must be amazing." William avoided the trap.
Crigan smiled and ordered an Auror to take the two to Newt.
The Auror took William and Hermione to take the elevator.
On the fifth floor of the underground, three people walked out and headed towards the room at the end of the road.
"She can't go in." An Auror at the door stopped Hermione.
"Miss Granger is my personal secretary," William said lightly, "in charge of recording Mr. Scarmand's testimony."
Hermione nodded quickly and took out a quill and roll of parchment from the safety table.
"If you have any comments, you can sue me at the Federation." William shook the Wisengamo badge in his robe and whispered:
"But it's better not to stop us, or I think you're despising the Federation and President Dumbledore."
Auror hesitated for a moment and made the way.
William took Hermione into the room and the door was closed immediately.
Scarmand's windbreaker was gone, changed into a prison uniform, and his hands were clamped with thick magic rings, which were fixed to the chair.
There are still a large number of spirit cats squatting in the room.
The spirit cat is a spiritual creature that is responsible for guarding the Ministry of Magic in France and monitoring prisoners.
"What's going on?" William sat down in the chair. "I was shocked when I received a letter from Professor Dumbledore. How could you be arrested?"
Newt smiled bitterly, his eyes flashed, and he turned on autism mode.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore ask you to go to the United States on Easter?" William asked.
William discussed with Dumbledore at the time and thought it was most appropriate to let Mr. Newt monitor Tom.
He has experience in dealing with the Dark King!
"I wanted to leave, but something happened. I found traces of Vader Rozier's activity in Paris."
"Vida Rozier?" William was stunned.
"She is a witch party, Grindelwald's assistant back then, and a woman who believes in Grindelwald."
Newt looked towards the door and said uneasy: "But now, William, my box..."
"Don't tell me, I lost it?"
Newt was silent for two seconds and nodded.
"How could it be lost?" Hermione said anxiously.
She had seen that box at Nico Manor, where there were more magical animals in it, perhaps than Hogwarts.
"I was looking for a mysterious circus in a hidden place, and then I was suddenly attacked. When I woke up, the box was gone and the person was caught by Aurors."
"It can't be taken by the French Ministry of Magic, right?" William frowned.
"Probably not." Newt sighed: "They are looking for that box now."
"But you'd better find it before them. Some of the magical animals inside were illegally transported and there was no registration.
If I get caught, I will definitely be convicted and those animals will be killed.”
"for example……"
"The fire dragon of Hagrid, Norber."
“…”
...
...
(Although the word "saint" is high-end, in terms of translation, Grindelwald's believers never use the title of saint, they are all witches.)
