Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 186 In Downing Street

It is now afternoon, and the Prime Minister is sitting alone in his office, enjoying the delicious afternoon tea at No. 10 Downing Street while reading a series of long reports.

The contents of the report slipped through his mind without leaving any trace.

In fact, the Prime Minister is waiting for a call from the president of another country across the Taiwan Strait... This call is so important that he has no way to focus on other things now!

Theoretically, this call should have been made five minutes and twelve seconds ago... But the other party was unbelievably late... God knows what the president's secretary is doing now, maybe in Help him unzip?

To be honest, the Prime Minister was under a lot of pressure during this period... This is mainly due to his predecessor, a crazy woman who only brought war and recession to the country...

So much so that his current situation is very difficult: the country's influence is declining, the economy is collapsing, and the party has only a slim advantage of 18 seats in parliament...

And the "Maastricht Treaty" he approved and signed not long ago was a fatal trigger and became a weapon for his political opponents to attack him——

The more the Prime Minister tried to concentrate on the paper in front of him, the more clearly he could see the gloating smiles on the faces of his political opponents.

They spread many rumors, saying that the Prime Minister had a mental breakdown because of these terrible things; that he spent a lot of time hiding in the closet every day; that he was not far from resigning, and that he had even written an unwritten letter. Sent, letter of resignation to the Queen…

Although the Prime Minister has always scoffed at these rumors, he has to admit that these are actually true...

……

The more he thought about it, the more irritable the Prime Minister became.

He opened a new report and looked at how long it was. After gesturing the length with his hand, he threw it into the trash can like a piece of waste paper.

He stretched his arms above his head, sadly dreaming about when this terrible situation would end.

At this moment, he heard a slight cough from behind him.

The Prime Minister suddenly froze.

He knew that cough, he'd heard it before.

Now, he slowly turned around and looked at the empty office.

"Hello?" he asked softly.

The Prime Minister believes that the UK should act more seriously and calmly.

For a brief moment, he was ready to believe that no one would respond to him.

But a voice responded quickly, with a crisp, decisive tone that sounded like it was reading a prepared statement.

It's coming - as the Prime Minister knew from the first cough -

The coughing sound before came from a short man like a frog, wearing a long silver wig...well, a man depicted in the dirty oil painting in the corner of his office.

Because of this poor portrait, the Prime Minister's taste was secretly ridiculed by many staff.

"To the Muggle Prime Minister.

We need an emergency meeting.

It's best to reply as soon as possible.

Sincerely, Barnold”

The frog-like man in the portrait, after saying these words, looked at the Prime Minister and waited for his response.

"I have a very important call to answer, a call from a president on the other side of the ocean..." the Prime Minister begged. "This call may be related to the fate of this country..."

"If it's a call from another European head of state, I don't think it's necessary to answer the call!" The little man shrugged, "Okay, I don't need to say anything... the minister is already here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright green flame suddenly appeared in the stone fireplace.

Then, a woman with a broad figure and a round chin climbed out. Her black hair was cut short, and the expression on her face looked a little impatient.

Start by looking at the other person, trying not to look surprised or wary.

"Hello..." he said dryly, "Minister Barnold... I don't know what you have to do today..."

The Prime Minister tried his best to sound as calm as possible.

"Ah... Prime Minister." Millicent Barnold said, she shook her head slightly, "I think you can't think of worse news..."

……

Strictly speaking, it is difficult for the Prime Minister to truly welcome this other minister in front of him...

First of all, she is a female politician... A female politician is undoubtedly the most annoying creature in the world for the Prime Minister.

Secondly, she looks very strong... A strong female politician is undoubtedly the creature that the prime minister fears most in the world.

Finally, she is an alien (compared to the Prime Minister), an alien with terrifying abilities... This is undoubtedly a very terrifying creature even in the Prime Minister's dream.

So even in a dream, the Prime Minister was very afraid that the ugly man in the portrait would suddenly cough——

But of course, what is coming will come back.

It had been like this since the first day he became Prime Minister, in their first meeting.

The events of that night were like yesterday to him, and this unfortunate memory would probably haunt him until he died.

At that time, in this very office, he stood alone, enjoying the victory he had dreamed of and planned for years.

He heard a cough from behind him and found the ugly portrait speaking, announcing that the Minister of Magic was arriving and introducing himself.

Naturally, he thought the long and intense campaign had driven him crazy.

But when he saw the portrait talking, he fell into a complete panic, although it was not as crazy as when a wizard emerged from the fireplace and shook his hand...

He was speechless for a while, although the other party seemed quite friendly... When she turned the Prime Minister's tea cup into a gerbil, the Prime Minister was completely devastated.

Millicent Barnold was like an old mother looking at her foolish son, and kindly explained to him that many wizards and witches still lived in secret in this world.

And he can rest assured because the Ministry of Magic is fully responsible for wizarding society and preventing non-magical people from getting news of their existence...

After introducing all this in detail——

Then, while the Prime Minister was still in a daze, she left.

It all seemed like a dream.

The Prime Minister tried to deny all this, trying to convince himself that Millicent Barnold's existence was just a hallucination caused by the lack of sleep during the campaign.

But all efforts to escape these bad things are in vain. He tried to get his secretary to remove the ugly portrait announcing the arrival of the Minister of Magic...

But to the Prime Minister's dismay, the painting proved irremovable, and when several carpenters, an architect or two, an art historian, and the Minister of Finance all said that the painting could not be taken off the wall, the Prime Minister gave up. Try, just hope the thing remains motionless and silent for the duration of his term.

Of course, so far, this little wish has suddenly been shattered!

……

"I think the war has begun, Prime Minister..." Minister Millicent Barnold walked over quickly and said impatiently.

"War?" the Prime Minister shouted in a fuss, "How is this possible... I hate war the most... and the monster that can create war disappeared from this world two years ago..."

"What I mean is not the war between you Muggles... but the war between wizards and Muggles..." Barnold frowned.

"Wizards...Muggles...war..." The Prime Minister seemed to be frightened. He had never been so scared when he heard that his approval rating suddenly dropped by five percentage points during the last election.

"When you came here last time, you seemed to have told me... that the Ministry of Magic exists, and the Ministry of Magic will protect our safety... to ensure that Muggles cannot know the existence of the wizarding world..." the Prime Minister stammered.

"Yes, it was like this a few hours ago." Minister Barnold sighed:

"But now, I have been dismissed... just because I am unwilling to sign a comprehensive declaration of war against Muggles..."

Upon hearing the news of the other party's dismissal, the Prime Minister suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart... Although it seemed inappropriate in the current situation.

But even if his support rate is very low and his public evaluation is very poor, he can at least be in power safely until the end of his term...

A sense of superiority suddenly arose in my heart.

"It's unbelievable. I never thought that there would be so many people from Grindelwald hiding around me..." Barnold continued, "The speed with which they attacked is a bit unbelievable..."

"Grindelwald, I still remember this name!" The Prime Minister was stunned and shouted quickly: "You seemed to have mentioned him when you came here last time... You said he is the greatest wizard in the world..."

"That was before. I never thought that Grindelwald's ideas would be so terrifying and hidden so deeply..." Barnold said impatiently: "Hurry up, we don't have much time..."

"Oh... war..." The Prime Minister had almost forgotten those previous words.

He jumped up in a hurry, but quickly sat back down again.

"I would like to ask...what would a war between wizards and Muggles look like?" he asked softly.

"I don't know..." Minister Barnold shook his head:

"It should be controlling thoughts, modifying memories, etc... I don't know what they are going to do, but I think they will take action soon... and you, as the leader of Muggles, will be their first priority Target."

The Prime Minister's legs suddenly shook, and he felt like he almost peed.

"Then what should I do?" He looked at the witch in front of him for help.

Minister Millicent Barnold glanced at the Muggle in front of him: "First write a letter...inform your important officials in the Muggle government and tell them to hide...At the same time, notify all your Muggle people and ask them to hide." Get ready for war!”

"What are you still stunned for?" she almost roared.

The Prime Minister woke up from a dream and nodded quickly.

He was just thinking about whether his support rate could increase if he entered war mode, and whether more members of the opposition party could be driven away from the parliament...

And those MPs from the opposition parties... If the war goes against their will, if they attack themselves, will they step down sadly?

"Okay, I'm going to call my secretary right now..." He said hurriedly: "Ian, Ian... come in quickly!"

"Secretary...is he trustworthy?" Barnold frowned and asked with some suspicion.

"I can entrust my life and fortune to him!" the Prime Minister proudly showed off: "He is very capable and can do twice as much as other people -"

……

A middle-aged man in a suit who looked smart and capable broke in.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister..." he asked calmly.

"Hurry up, I need to write...to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Home Secretary, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Secretary of State for Wales..." The Prime Minister began to recall the names of important members of the government one by one.

But right here in this sparkling room——

The middle-aged man named Ian suddenly took out a strange small wooden stick from somewhere.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A strong green light suddenly flashed in front of the Prime Minister...

That terrifying light made him completely scared to death this time.

Although the target of this green light is not him... but Millicent Barnold.

The former Minister of Magic showed no reaction and his eyes were still wide open...

She fell to the ground, and her whole body lost all life in an instant... She was dead!

The Prime Minister stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground.

Then, the secretary, who was always smart and capable, turned his attention to the minister. ,

"You...you are...also...a wizard..." the Prime Minister stammered.

A flash of red light flashed and he was knocked unconscious to the ground.

The fire lit up again in the fireplace in the Prime Minister's office.

The secretary put away his wand and glanced at the man in black who walked out of the fireplace.

"You actually let the minister escape!" he asked sternly.

"Sorry," another wizard apologized profusely, "I didn't expect that she would use the private channel between the Minister of Magic and the Muggle Prime Minister to try to issue a warning to Muggles... Connect the Floo Network to Muggles Prime Minister Gua spent a little time here..."

"Is the situation in the Ministry of Magic under control?" the secretary asked again.

"There is no problem anymore... There are very few truly extreme rebels, although most of them hold certain objections... Brother and sister Edgar and Amelia Bones were placed under house arrest, and Scrimgeour's attitude also changed It’s relatively stable…We have the situation completely under control!”

"That's good!" The secretary nodded.

He raised his wand again and pointed it at the fainted Prime Minister on the ground:

"Imperio!"

The Prime Minister, who was still unconscious, slowly got up from the ground; but now, his eyes have become extremely dim and lackluster...
