Hogwarts from another world

Minister Millicent Barnold is a witch with a wide build and a round chin. Her black hair is cut short, and the expression on her face looks gentle, at least not boring at all.

She smiled kindly at Matthew and signaled that he didn't need to be nervous.

And Matthew tried to get out of bed.

His head was still a little dizzy, maybe because of the influence of Apparition; or maybe it was the bunch of "stun spells" that the Aurors had sent out before, one or two of which hit him.

"You might feel better if you eat some of this." Minister Barnold handed over a box of things.

Matthew took it into his hands and realized it was a box of chocolates.

"Thank you, Minister." Matthew said while breaking a large piece of chocolate into several pieces.

Throwing one piece of chocolate into his mouth, Matthew asked at the same time: "Where am I now?"

"This is the Law Enforcement Department," Minister Barnold said with a smile, "Of course, our Ministry of Magic's laws are not to be enforced against you, but to protect brave children like you."

Seeing that Matthew seemed to be choking on the chocolate, she picked up a large glass of pumpkin juice next to her and handed it over.

Minister Millicent Barnold was very approachable.

"Thank you," Matthew muttered in thanks.

After eating a whole piece of chocolate, Matthew was very surprised to feel a sudden surge of heat rushing to his toes and fingers.

My whole body became warm, and all the previous uncomfortable feelings disappeared immediately.

It looks like the piece of chocolate just had some "stuff" added to it.

"How's the effect?" the minister asked softly.

"Awesome" Matthew nodded quickly: "I feel full of strength all over my body now"

"That's good." Minister Barnold smiled and nodded.

Matthew could clearly feel that the Minister of Magic was deliberately expressing goodwill to him.

This is not difficult to understand.

Matthew guessed that it was probably because of Principal Gellert Grindelwald. A few months ago, Matthew had followed Principal Grindelwald and had an encounter with the female minister in the west tower of Hogwarts; Although the minister acted a little embarrassed because of the escape of the suspect Trocca; there was no doubt that she must have seen herself at that time.

Earlier today, when Matthew left Flourish and Blotts to go to the Leaky Cauldron for breakfast, he quietly stopped by the Owl Post Office.

There, he wrote a letter and mailed it directly to the Minister of Magic, Ms. Millicent Barnold.

In the content of the letter, in addition to briefly introducing this most likely illegal "smuggling" operation, Matthew also "accidentally" mentioned that at the time, Sita was with Principal Grindelwald and the minister. A sided relationship.

Matthew doesn’t need to worry about what happens next.

The Ministry of Magic was on guard and had planted many Aurors around Diagon Alley that night. Poor Mr. Shafik had just left Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, but he was already being targeted by the Aurors.

His counter-reconnaissance awareness was indeed pretty good, but it was obviously not comparable to the battle-hardened Aurors.

After that, he tried his best to take detours and hide, but it was all in vain.

After they landed, as the Aurors gathered their troops, the two groups of wizards who conducted this "smuggling" transaction were all killed.

Minister Barnold sat on a bench nearby: "You're welcome, Mr. Wakefield, after you regain your strength, can you tell me the full situation of the entire incident?"

"Of course." Matthew nodded without hesitation.

Then, he told all the information he knew, except for the book.

Including the strange transaction information he found on the bill; and the name Tom Gunter; of course, Shafiq's manager offered "huge sums of money" to tempt him to join "smuggling"; and even what Matthew overheard, Shafiq The conversation between Gram and Malfoy was no exception. He almost told everything.

The memory of his previous life gave Matthew a slightly positive impression of the name "Millicent Barnold":

She was the Minister of Magic before Cornelius Fudge. She led the war between the wizarding world and Voldemort. After Voldemort was defeated by one-year-old Harry Potter, she arrested a large number of Death Eaters and was known as Ulric. After Gamp, the most popular Minister of Magic in the wizarding world

Because of this, Matthew felt that this minister was worthy of his "trust."

"It turns out that this smuggling incident is also related to Lucius Malfoy and a wizard named Tom Gaunt?" the minister said thoughtfully.

"Minister Barnold" Matthew quickly asked with interest: "Have you heard of this Tom Gunter?"

The minister lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I have no impression."

"However, the surname Gunter is quite special." She added: "This pure-blood family is the only bloodline inherited from Salazar Slytherin. But I remember the last member of the Gunter family, long ago. He died fifty years ago. Of course, there seems to be a branch of this family in North America. I will send someone to investigate when the time comes."

This can't help but make Matthew a little disappointed. Of course he knows who this "Tom Gunter" is, but it's a pity that he can't tell these things openly to the minister.

He had to change the topic to another aspect

"Minister, as for that box, I think it looks very strange." He looked like a "curious baby" and asked, "Can I ask what's in it?"

"Sorry, Mr. Wakefield." Ms. Barnold shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to answer. In fact, I don't know what is in it now."

After a pause, the minister continued to explain: "Things smuggled from abroad, especially from unregulated countries like Italy, are generally very risky. Even Aurors will not touch them easily. , we usually hand this kind of thing over to the Department of Mysteries and let them slowly find out the truth."

"Okay" Matthew suddenly looked frustrated.

"However, I have to praise you again." Minister Milicham Barnold continued, her face looked serious:

"In a sense, your brave behavior even helped you save your life, Mr. Wakefield."
