Chapter 712: “Enabling the Exposure of Magic”

That day, Felix made a victory speech in Grindelwald’s face, a speech that would occupy all of Africa’s newspapers for the next two weeks, and would even spread to the non-magical world because of the unique chaotic situation in Africa.

Afterward, Felix returned to the Confederation’s Headquarters, where Akingbade inford him of an announcent with a cheerful face.

If there is no surprise, the International Confederation of Wizards General Assembly with great significance will be held in early October. Ms. Bones would be the representative who would systematically talk about the outcos and significance of a series of initiatives over the past three months, as well as the results of their negotiations with the Muggle governnt.

Naturally, the purpose of the General Assembly is to discuss the ergence of legislation that will take on the sa significance as the Statute of Secrecy and derive various general guidelines for the various Ministries of Magic to implent the law accordingly. It may take a few weeks, but the rits are obvious –

Wizards will reunite as a whole.

And what gave Akingbade the most confidence that the law would be enforced was Felix Hap, one of the two archmages in the wizarding world who remained active on the world stage.

In the afternoon Felix made a trip to visit the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic to et with Mada Maxi as a school board mber; they had actually t not long ago, at Bill and Fleur’s wedding, but Mada Maxi insisted on inviting him to Beauxbatons.

“There’s no problem with the scholarship, is there?” Felix asked, he hadn’t bothered to check the inventory of Nicolas Flal’s fortune in the vault, but just from simple estimation, it would last another century or two.

“The Gringotts goblins do transfer a sum of money to the school vault every year,” Mada Maxi said with a not-so-pleasant expression on her face, “and they do mail the lists to you.”

“It may have been overlooked by ,” Felix said without fidgeting, “There are simply too many people mailing every year. So you didn’t call because of this, right?”

“Of course not.”

“Then what is the reason?”

“Felix, you’re Beauxbatons Academy of Magic’s school board mber, yet you’ve missed three board etings and haven’t even shown up at the school since the beginning of the crisis.” Mada Maxi said in a low voice, her chest beginning to rise and fall.

“I haven’t forgotten about this identity.” Felix imdiately said seriously, “I have previously talked with you, and Nicolas simply did not bother with the affairs of the school, so like him, I have no intention of getting involved in the specific affairs of the school.”

“That’s a different matter, Felix.” Mada Maxi protested, “Sieur Flal has lived for hundreds of years, his sense of ti is different from ours, and we don’t bother him lightly … but you are only in your twenties, what do you expect to tell the students? That the school board mber doesn’t care about the school’s affairs in the wake of such a big event? ”

“So I stayed at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, walked around, and helped a few students with their academic problems, and ended up having a al with everyone in the cafeteria – which went surprisingly well. The only thing that was a little awkward was that they called ‘Mr. Epp,’ but that is how it is.” Later in the evening in the new Deputy Headmaster’s office, Felix said to Ms. Bones, “I can probably guess what Mada Maxi had in mind: they need a mascot to appease everyone. And they may also have the intention of asking for my help in case a problem arises.”

“She’s a responsible headmistress.” Ms. Bones said, “It may seem a little trivial to you, but it is quite important for her to maintain her relationship with you. Why else would so many Ministries of Magic send people to the Confederation for your sake?”

Felix hesitated, of course, he knew the reason, but he said jokingly, “I thought it was due to my excellent eloquence.”

The corners of Ms. Bones’ mouth curled up slightly as if she was amused by this statent.

“Yes, Grindelwald took over a third of the African Wizarding Community, probably because of his excellent eloquence as well.” After the joke, she said seriously, “Felix, now the Muggle Pri Minister is proposing to collaborate to finish an official dossier – there’s sothing besides letting the public know the details of our negotiating stage – and I want you to get involved. This will be the first docunt that will be jointly written and sanctioned by both sides, and it carries great significance. You have a great deal of experience in this area.”

Felix had almost forgotten that he also has a writer title, although his books weren’t bestsellers, but they were certainly on point professionally.

He thought for a mont and asked, “How much progress has been made so far?”

“The pace has accelerated considerably from what it was before,” Ms. Bones said, “but we’re not just dealing with the sowhat stable dostic environnt – there are oppositions, but it’s nothing serious; we can’t intervene in international public opinion, plus there are all sorts of conflicting organizations erging, and all these factors can influence the peace talks. The tacit agreent we reached during this ti period was to co up with sothing that both sides would feel satisfied with as soon as possible, to avoid complications …”

“As for the other issues, they will be written down in a morandum to be polished later. You know, the Statute of Secrecy didn’t start out the way you see it now. …”

She briefly described the recent progress of the negotiations, and then extended the invitation again. Felix agreed.

At night.

Felix was at his desk reading the information left by Ms. Bones, which contained many important subjects originally drawn up by both of them, only as ti passed, so of them had progressed and so remained unresolved, and he needed to know all the details like the back of his hand.

The small golden clock on the desk pointed to twelve o’clock, and the office lights were still on. Felix looked up to find Valen dozing on her small desk, and with a small smile, he wrapped her up in the velvet quilt.

In late September, a book with more than two hundred pages of thickness was publicly published. The dia and publishers of both societies were in full swing, allowing the book to be placed on the desks of countless people as soon as it was released, to be studied over and over again. So of its contents were summarized in concise terms in the newspapers, leading to rounds of heated debate, with each page setting off a wave of public opinion.

But in fact, rather than being a negotiated pact, it was more like a political statent on witchcraft issued by the authorities – at least many journalists privately compared it to the governnt report. It represents the respective standpoints of the two sides, and mainly presents the facts and the results of the negotiations achieved so far, as well as the initiatives and expectations for the future.

It is likely that so of the important statents in it will evolve into the groundwork for future initiatives by both sides, or be expanded into tailored legislation.

” “Enabling the Exposure of Magic” is divided into three parts. The first part is subdivided into three chapters, which describe the significant collaboration between the two sides, a brief history of wizards, and the intersection that occurred between the two sides in history.” Hermione said under her breath, running her fingers through the table of contents one by one, turning to a page and reading it for a while, then looking up with a complicated expression, “The people in charge of the negotiations must have put a great deal of thought into it, racking their brains for it-”

“But it’s boring to read,” Ron said, “I have the illusion that I’m reading a History of Magic textbook.”

“That’s the whole beauty of it, isn’t it? It’s as impersonal as possible.” Hermione said, “But the real point of view is cleverly hidden, no, it’s shown to you in a straightforward way. But you are blind to it!”

Harry looked at her, if it was two months ago he might not be able to understand the aning of this sentence, but the recent frequent letter writing has given him a new sense.

“Wait–” he took the book from Hermione’s hand, flipped to chapter three and quickly skimd through the subheadings between chapters, and looked up thoughtfully, “I roughly understand what you an, every word that appears on here is the result of the delegation’s struggle.”

Hermione let out a long sigh of relief.

“What are you talking about?” Ron asked impatiently.

“Look at this,” Harry said, pointing to a page, “1917-” ” It was during the First World War. ” Hermione interjected. “- uh, that’s right,” Harry continued, “a witch nad Noel Leda sheltered the town where she lived, oh, and she was a bit special, originally an Englishman, then married into France …”

“Like Bill and Fleur?” Ron pulled a similar example out of his mind, “Only the relationship is reversed.”

Hermione warned him not to interrupt. Harry continued, “And then this, back then the Ministry of Magic repelled wizards from a rival country, which included taking control of an army of dragons, and hey, it ntions Mr. Scamander, who made a great contribution back then.” He sounded a little excited.

Ron gradually regained his sense, “It sounds like we made a lot of contributions? But aren’t wizards not allowed to be involved in the war between muggles?”

“That’s true, but the Ministry of Magic also has a duty to protect the common people in their areas from the threat of magic.” Hermione said, “Especially when so wizards and muggles have bonded, they are more inclined to protect their neighbours around them, sothing that is more common in tis of massive social turmoil, and the Ministry of Magic has quite a few files – er, I an records of violations.”

Ron rolled his eyes.

“You an, so wizards took it upon themselves to protect their neighbours during the war and ended up receiving penalties for using magic after being found out?”

Hermione’s expression was also a little embarrassed, at least in this matter, the Ministry of Magic did not play any positive role.

“The Statute of Secrecy was still in effect at that ti. But when sothing like this happens, you will just be fined a little bit, and basically won’t be sentenced to jail, let alone sent to Azkaban.”

“Okay.” Ron said reluctantly.

“But all in all,” Hermione raised her voice slightly, “the wizards featured on here are mostly presented in a positive light … You know, there are quite a few who steal chickens and prank muggles, and all of them were eventually get punished by the Ministry of Magic. And their punishnts speak volus.”

“And that’s not all,” she continued, “I think the most important thing about the first part of the book is that it presents two very important points in their entirety. The first point is naturally the affirmation of the role of the wizard, which ntions several kinds of magical disasters, which have been subsided by the wizard in the shadows. The second point – I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but all the ‘wizards’ carry a word in front of them?”

Harry glanced down.

“British wizards? England?”

“That’s right, all it discusses are about British wizards, and blurring out the fact that quite a few pureblood wizards have no nationality at all! Framing the discussion at an internal national scale, without worrying about outside voices-”

“But the Pan-Magical Alliance …?” Harry muttered.

“Well, they’re different, Harry, very different.” Hermione explained patiently, “Although essentially they are both designed to make wizards less constrained, they target very different audiences. The forr – the term ‘British wizards’ basically designed to exclude the intervention of other countries, or at least an excuse to refuse to bring this whole negotiation into international debate and drama; the latter, the Pan-Magical Alliance, is aiming for maximum autonomy for wizards internally. ”

“Sounds so complicated.” Ron looked dizzy at the mont.

“These are very serious political matters,” Hermione said seriously, “even a tiny notification can bring a chain reaction, later on, this is why the Ministry of Magic has been postponing the formulation of various rules and regulations for so ti now. Think about it, wizards don’t even have a profession like a lawyer …”

“Hermione,” Harry said, “I know you’re right, but one thing you may have overlooked is the strength of wizards themselves. Do you know what I just thought of?” He didn’t wait for Hermione to answer, and stated the answer himself, “It’s Grindelwald, who is far away in Africa.”

“At the beginning of August, what we read in the newspapers about the situation in Africa was nothing but chaos – at that ti the International Confederation of Wizards had not yet regained its prestige with the help of Professor Hap – and it all changed with the appearance of one man.”

“Harry-” Hermione said nervously.

“A number of people predicted that in half a month at the most, African wizards would be involved in the regional dispute as an uncontrolled and dangerous force. Now two months have passed and instead of becoming more chaotic, the situation there has completely stabilized – and one of the most thrilling monts was when Grindelwald took down three hundred wizards in one night, relying on the power of one! Not even a single wizard died because of this, I don’t know if it was because of the restrictions of the vow … Sotis I have the illusion that Professor Hap and Grindelwald seem to have reached a tacit agreent with each other, to not interfere with each other for a period of ti … ”

“So newspapers claid that they are planning to duel in the near future, just like that legendary duel half a century ago,” Hermione’s voice trembled slightly, “the two strongest people in the world, if they are not deterring each other, each can cause a horrible destruction effect on the other camp. ”

Ron also said uneasily, “All wizards are looking forward to it from the bottom of their hearts, it’s just not the right ti yet.”

“It’s not just wizards who are looking forward to it.” Hermione shouted pointedly.

That’s right, it’s not just wizards who are looking forward to it, all governnts have taken notice of it, and they all seem to be extrely wary and curious about wizards with the title ‘Archmage’. The two n, Gellert Grindelwald and Felix Hap, the forr seed to be an ambitious man, an ambitious man who had failed once, but with his appearance in the wizard tavern in the Egyptian capital, his threat level continued to rise.

As for the latter … he seems to excel in magic called Ancient Rune, has also been to the moon, and his prowess in combat remains hidden in the mists, but at least his survival ability is beyond comparison.

This kind of counterasures and analysis cos entirely from instinct, and almost every regi does sothing similar, but it doesn’t an that they intend to go to war with wizards, especially with their own.

What they really have a hard ti tolerating are guys walking around with nukes in their belts … Naturally the fewer such people the better it will be; if there is a chance to reduce them, they would welco it.

In this process of analysis, they also found a strange fact.

The power gap between wizards seed unimaginably wide, and even though all those general abilities mastered by wizards made them feel extrely troubled – such as Apparition, travelling in flas, being able to create terrible fires that were hard to extinguish, folding space – nevertheless these seemingly ‘powerful’ wizards were still dwarfed in front of ‘Archmage’.

They can only attribute this to the magic and trickiness of magic. Modern weapons are basically built on the foundations of science and physics, with many subdivisions, and everything seems to be in order. Unfortunately, it is still difficult to decipher the principles of magic with the current scientific theories. Just look at the scientists who are about to make themselves bald.

“The second and third parts elaborate on … respectively”

Similar analyses were conducted all over the world. At about the sa ti, Grindelwald’s manifesto also spread with the previous two weeks of ferntation.
