Chapter 414 Sullenness is the characteristic of Hufflepuffs!
Due to historical reasons, the national conditions of the United States are completely different from those of the United Kingdom and even Europe.
It is an immigrant country, and in the early chaotic state of society, there is no magic government of any kind.
As a result, a group of dark wizards from different countries formed the mercenaries——the scavengers.
Regardless of whether they are criminals or not, as long as they can be exchanged for rewards, the scavengers will choose to hunt and kill.
Later, some Puritans left England and came to North America to settle down.
They wanted to completely isolate the wizards from this "new world", so they launched the campaign of "burning the witches to death".
The Scavengers teamed up with the Puritans, and they started selling wizards.They even captured innocent No-Majs as wizards and handed them over to the Puritans who hunted witches in exchange for reward.
The most notorious thing the Purgers did was lead the Salem Witch Trials in 1692.
The incident resulted in the execution of 20 people, most of them women.
As a result of the Salem Witch Trials, an official body, the Magical Congress, was formed in 1693 to liquidate the scavengers.
After a long struggle, the purgers failed, so they went underground, even mingled with the No-Maj government and the Magic Congress, and continued to fight more covertly.
Therefore, among all the countries, the Magic Congress of America is the only one that does not cooperate with the Muggle government.
The two sides were even in a state of hostility for a time.
If you do something bad in the United States, talk about racial discrimination, or throw the blame on the purgers, it's over.
Professor Babling's transfiguration is very strong. When she attacked, she probably showed her face on purpose and turned into a wizard, so that the Ministry of Magic mistakenly thought it was a scavenger.
Since it was the scavengers who did it, it is very likely that the Thunderbird was captured by them.
Anyway, after discussions at the Magical Congress of America, they came to such a conclusion.
This is why Picquery came to England, she hoped to find clues about Thunderbird.
"Mr. Stark, I need your help, you were in France and fought against that Thunderbird.
I was wondering, is there any way you can find it. "
"That Thunderbird wasn't captured by the scavengers at all. It appeared in England not long ago." William had no choice but to explain.
"What... sir... I didn't understand..."
"That Thunderbird escaped from Newt on its own initiative. Not long ago, it attacked the Hogwarts Express and then lived in the Forbidden Forest." William shrugged.
"Then is it still in the Forbidden Forest?" Picqueli asked anxiously.
"It's gone, it seems to have left, and it hasn't appeared for a long time."
"How did you know that?"
"Firekiss told me... about a silly centaur," William said.
"Then can you take me to talk to her?" Picqueli asked, "I want to ask for details."
William frowned and said, "You really don't understand the centaurs. They are very xenophobic and don't like to communicate with wizards, let alone stranger wizards."
"Then how did you communicate with the centaur?" Picqueli asked puzzled.
"I'm not yet an adult, and to them, a harmless foal.
But aunts like you in your 20s...approach them and are likely to get attacked.
So your unreasonable request, I refuse. "
What William said was a bit shameless. The little pony was referring to those children who needed protection... Does William need protection!
Anyway, among the horsemen, no one regarded him as a foal.
On the other hand, Picqueli faintly felt a curse in his chest.
Aunty in her 20s? !
Who said?
Who is Auntie?
She took a deep breath and said loudly, "Don't you want to save Mr. Scamander?"
"Dumbledore will negotiate. In fact, the British Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic are already putting pressure together, but you are holding them back." William retorted.
"Besides, Newt agreed to escort Thunderbird under the entrustment of the French Ministry of Magic, and he also reported to the United States in advance.
You have no reason to continue detaining him. Instead, you failed to protect his personal property, which caused things to be lost.
To compensate! "
The current situation in the United States is complicated, and William doesn't want to communicate too deeply with American wizards, otherwise it will affect Professor Babling's layout.
Especially the witch in front of me, who came from England secretly, belongs to the three no products.Don't even bother with her.
The witch was a little annoyed.
William ignored her, took Hermione's hand, turned and left.
After walking not far, William suddenly turned his head and said:
"By the way, what is your relationship with Ms. Serafina Picqueri, the former president of the Magical Congress of America?"
"I... I'm her niece!" Piqueli said with a straight face.
"Oh." William couldn't help laughing. "Did she send you here?"
"No... she didn't know." Piqueli argued.
William's smile grew stronger.
Serafina Picquery was President of the Magical Congress of America from 1920 to 1928.
During Serafina's presidency, Grindelwald entered New York and searched for the Obscure.And Newt was also sent to the United States by Dumbledore to investigate secretly.
After the New York incident, Seraphina undertook tremendous pressure to list the ptarmigan as a protected species.
With the help of Newt, she amended the law and expanded the scope of protection to all magical animals in North America.
Rita wrote a biography of Grandpa Newt a few years ago:
"A Man or a Beast?The True Face of Newt Scamander".
The book describes Newt as "ditching Serafina Picquery, a love liar who broke her heart".
Grandpa Newt criticized Rita in various ways.But now it seems that Rita is not all nonsense.
At least Serafina cared about Grandpa Newt.
Sure enough, Grandpa Newt also looked honest, but in fact he was extremely sullen inside, with a heart that wanted to move his lips.
It's like Cedric... the first time he saw Qiu, he cried and asked William to be his wingman.
honest? (heavy fog!)
Mentality...is the characteristic of little Hufflepuff wizards.
When William and Hermione were about to reach the intersection, Picquely suddenly shouted: "Mr. Stark, wait a minute!"
"Well, please say it."
"Do you know an ancient rune professor named Targaryen?" Picquery asked.
"Hmm... never heard of it." William turned around, pretending to shake his head blankly.
"Is it your teacher?"
"No, he's a professor at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I met him once." Picquery hesitated,
Said:
"He looks very similar to you... except that he is much older than you, and his face is seven to eight!"
"It's so similar?" William asked in surprise.
"Yes, but he has a much better temper than you, and he is very personable, you two are definitely not alone!" Picqueri snorted coldly.
William shrugged.
I don't know if Picquery knows what expression he will have if the personable "Professor Targaryen" in his mouth is the "Scavenger" who is attacking magic abroad.
Really looking forward to it!
He thought so in his heart, but sighed in his mouth:
"I didn't expect that my handsome face would not be unique, it's a pity.
When I have time, I will meet this Professor Targaryen and see how good-looking and personable he is. "
Hermione couldn't help laughing, she knew that others didn't know the truth.After boasting for a while, he still praised himself.
William waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, young Miss Picquery."
Picquery stood where she was and did not follow. She looked at the backs of the two of them, not knowing what she was thinking.
The two had just passed the intersection, and Hermione suddenly pointed at the crowd and said, "William, look, who is that?"
William followed his line of sight and saw three familiar figures walking out of the ice cream shop.
Each of them was holding a thickened version of chocolate ice cream, and there were also bags of snacks in their hands. They walked staggeringly and looked extremely happy.
"Annie!!" William yelled.
Annie turned her head and saw William and Hermione. She let out an ah, her face flushed instantly, and she said in shock, "Run!"
Annie, Luna, and Ginny turned around and ran away.
body snacks,
Bang bang bang bang!
