Chapter 321 The Lost Box
The political system of the wizarding world is very different from that of the Muggle world.
As a nominal United Nations, it doesn't have much power. It is controlled by the five rogue countries, and the secretary-general is just an empty shelf.
The wizarding world is different.
The International Federation of Wizards is a powerful department that can interfere with the sovereignty of countries.
The famous "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act" was researched, formulated by this institution, and then strictly enforced.
The Federation can also review the draft legislation of each country through the International Magical Law Office to ensure that it does not conflict with the "Secrecy Act".
If they think there is a conflict, the draft legislation of the Ministry of Magic of each country will be immediately returned and declared invalid.
In other words, for the UK to introduce a law, it must first be approved by the Federation.
The maneuverable space here is huge!
People say you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it!
This is a way of interfering with sovereignty.
Therefore, the Department of Foreign Affairs 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 Ministry of Magic of each country, and at the same time must be approved by the Wizengamot, both of which are indispensable!
Of course they want to fight for their own interests.
Dumbledore is the British member of the Federation, and he was elected as the president in the election of the Federation!
But the president can't cover the sky with one hand. He has natural constraints and is at risk of being kicked out.
As long as Minister Fudge disagrees with Dumbledore becoming a member of the Federation... You are not even a member, let alone continue to serve as the president!
If William sends Hermione to the position of Minister, and he then becomes the President of the Federation, then that will truly cover the sky with one hand and secure his position.
Hermione can't take him down!
This is the mutual protection of officials.
In addition, there are other aspects of the federation's constraints.
It can interfere in the internal affairs of various countries to a certain extent, but it cannot directly manage them. It must issue orders through the International Magic Law Office of each country.
This office is equivalent to a middleman and a lubricant. The Federation issues orders, and the Legal Office is responsible for communicating them to the Ministry of Magic.
In theory, Dumbledore has no power to directly order wizards in a certain country.
As Clegane said, he had not received an order from the legal office, so he naturally ignored Dumbledore, even if he was the president.
This is a time difference, and I want to deal with Newt first in the process!
Dumbledore was caught off guard, so he had to authorize William first, allowing him, the youth representative, to exercise the rights of the British Wizengamot.
William has no right to extradite Newt, but he has the right to visit Scamander, which is granted by the Wizengamot.
It is also the purpose of his visit today!
Clegane couldn't refuse, he was silent for a moment, then walked towards the hall with William and Hermione.
Miss Costa waved her hand and told William that she got off work at eleven o'clock, and after visiting Scamander, don't forget to come see her.
French girls are passionate and unrestrained, and English girls are far behind in this respect.
Of course, English girls are much more violent. For the sake of his own safety, William will definitely not come.
The three of them passed through the front hall and came to the central hall. From a distance, a huge statue was placed in the most prominent position.
The statue has the iconic elements of the French tricolor, cockade and Phrygian cap.
There is also a row of mottos under the statue: Incanté, Envouté, Conjuré!
Hermione looked at the words curiously, and William explained: "The motto means 'cast a spell, cast a spell, summon'."
"How is it?" Clegane also spoke fluent English. "Like our motto?"
William frowned. French people like to ask English wizards this kind of question.
Furong asked several times.
This is of course not an easy question to answer.
Admit that you like this sentence, the French will think you are a very unromantic wizard, they like simple and rough.
Say you hate it, and say your daily milk method.
You are clearly making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!
"The wizard who said this must be very remarkable." William avoided the trap.
Clegane smiled and told an Auror to take the two to Newt.
The Auror took William and Hermione to the elevator.
On the fifth floor underground, the three of them came out and walked 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 private secretary." William said flatly, "responsible for recording Mr. Scamander's testimony."
Hermione nodded quickly, and took out a quill and a roll of parchment from the safety sheet.
"If you have any opinions, you can report to the Federation." William shook the Wizengamot badge on his robe, and said softly:
"But it's best not to stop us, or I think you are despising the Federation and President Dumbledore."
The Auror hesitated, and stepped out of the way.
William led Hermione into the room, and the door was closed immediately.
Scamander's windbreaker was gone, and he was replaced by a prison uniform. He was fastened to a chair with thick magic rings on his hands.
There are also a large number of civets squatting in the room.
The civet is a spiritual creature responsible for guarding the French Ministry of Magic and monitoring prisoners.
"What's going on?" William sat down on the chair. "I was taken aback when I received a letter from Professor Dumbledore. How could you be arrested?"
Newt smiled wryly, his eyes flickered, and he turned on the autistic mode.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore ask you to go to America at Easter?" William asked.
William discussed with Dumbledore at the time, thinking that it would be most appropriate for Grandpa Newt to monitor Tom.
He has experience dealing with the Dark Lord!
"I wanted to leave, but something happened. I found traces of Vida Rozier's activities in Paris."
"Vida Rozier?" William froze for a moment.
"She is a witch party, Grindelwald's assistant back then, and a woman who believed in Grindelwald."
Newt looked towards the door and said anxiously: "But it's not the time to talk about these things, William, my box..."
"Don't tell me, lost it?"
Newt was silent for two seconds, then nodded.
"How could it be lost?" Hermione asked anxiously.
She had seen that box in Nico's Manor, and there might be more magical animals in it than Hogwarts.
"I was looking for the mysterious circus in hiding, and then I was suddenly attacked. When I woke up, the box was gone, and the person was caught by the Auror."
"Wouldn't it be the French Ministry of Magic?" William frowned.
"Probably not." Newt sighed, "They're also looking for that box now."
"But you'd better find it before they do, some of the magical animals in there are illegally transported and not registered.
If caught, I would surely be convicted and the animals would be killed. "
"for example……"
"Hagrid's dragon—Norbert."
"..."

(Although the word "saint" is lofty, in translation, Grindelwald's believers have never used the title of saint, and they are all voodoo parties.)
