ตอน 88: The Alliance Is Attacking A Ministry Of Magic Again?

Lucas never expected to meet Cho Chang in a foreign country.

"Long time no see, why did you come to France?"

"The Ministry of Magic asked my mother to come to France to pick up something for her job. I'm bored at home so I came to have a look."

"By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you. Congratulations on the opening of your stores. I just arrived in France that day, so I couldn't go to congratulate you. I'm really sorry."

Not having seen Lucas in over a month.

Cho Chang felt that the blond boy in front of her became even more fascinating than before.

In fact, she didn't come because she was bored.

She just learned from Hermione that her family is going to travel to France.

Only then did she beg her mother to bring her along.

It's just that she didn't expect that she and Lucas were so predestined.

In a foreign country, both of them can meet by chance, this fate is really wonderful.

When Lucas heard that explanation, he remembered that Cho's mother worked in the Ministry of Magic.

"Thank you for your blessing, do you want to go in together?"

At this time, the two had followed the crowd to the wand registration office.

Although the country is different.

But the rules are the same, any wizard visiting the Ministry of Magic needs to register their wand.

Originally, Cho didn't intend to go in, but since Lucas invited her, might as well go in.

At the same time, Louise Perrin and Orwell also received news from the Aurors.

"What? Lucas Grindelwald is in the lobby?"

"What are you all doing? You didn't find out until he was at the door?"

Louise had never felt that the wizards under her command were so incapable of doing things before.

"Notify everyone to gather in the front hall immediately."

When the assistant left, Louise Perrin extended an invitation to Orwell.

"Come on, let's meet this Lucas Grindelwald."

Inside the Ministry of Magic, the wizards coming and going watched curiously as groups of Aurors ran towards the elevator.

Just now, they looked like they were waiting for an attack.

Why did they all leave in a short while?

Fleur, who was dealing with school affairs, also discovered this.

But she is more sensitive than others.

She noticed that those Aurors were in a hurry, as if they were rushing somewhere.

"Fleur, hurry up, we'll leave right away after we're done."

Seeing Madame Maxime frowning slightly, Fleur knew that her guess was not wrong.

On the fifth floor underground, Louise and Orwell walked towards the exit shoulder to shoulder.

On the next floor they would reach the front hall.

Watching the Aurors passing by in a hurry, Louise finally showed her first smile of the day.

~boom!!~

A cluster of dazzling flames appeared in front of the two of them.

Dumbledore and Fawkes the Phoenix appeared with the firelight.

Like a prophet, this old fox suddenly appeared in France.

No one knows exactly when he came, let alone how long he has been here.

"Oh Minister Perrin, Minister Orwell, long time no see"

"Long time no see, Headmaster Dumbledore."

The old bee took out some candy from his pocket and handed it to the two.

It has almost become a habit of his.

As long as he talks about things with people, he must first give them some candy.

"What a busy Ministry of Magic!"

Dumbledore turned his gaze to the Aurors running past and said meaningfully.

"However, isn't it too much to treat a child like this?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore, we are only taking some necessary precautionary measures. I think such vigilance is necessary."

"If outsiders know the boy's surname, it is very possible that he will be attacked with a killing curse while walking on the road."

"And we are doing this to protect his personal safety."

Orwell's words were affirmed by Louise Perrin and the three of them walked towards the door leading to the front hall while talking.

"Mister and Miss, this is not a place to talk about love. This is the Ministry of Magic, if you don't go in, please don't delay the people in line behind you."

The wizard at the wand registry said impatiently because these two little wizards have delayed his work too much.

After hearing those words, Cho Chang blushed slightly, and hurriedly took out her wand.

Lucas politely apologized to the other party.

"I'm really sorry, we are friends who just met in a foreign land by coincidence, so we couldn't help but chat a few more words. These are our magic wands, please register them."

At this moment, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him.

It was as if there were hundreds of people walking together.

Cho turned around curiously and saw that the people who were queuing up behind them had disappeared and were replaced by a charming lady in the latest fashion pointed hat.

Aside from her, there was a group of people who were not very talkative, and these people densely filled the entire front hall.

She hurriedly turned her head and nervously said to Lucas beside her: "Let's go in quickly, those people behind look a little scary."

After saying that she urged the wizard in charge of registering the wands, who was obviously also intimidated by the aura of the group in front of him.

But once he saw the look of that charming lady glancing at himself.

The wizard hurried back to his senses.

"Well, lady, here is your wand."

Looking at Cho Chang's worried eyes, Lucas said softly: "You go in first, I'll be right there."

Cho walked through the registration desk step by step, passed through the gate behind and successfully entered the French Ministry of Magic.

What appeared in front of her was an indoor plaza.

But at this moment, the square was full of people, their expressions were solemn as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

She looked at the three people standing at the front again and caught sight of Headmaster Dumbledore standing on the left at a glance.

'Why is the headmaster in France?'

Perhaps he sensed her gaze, because Dumbledore shot her a smile.

"Cho, why did you come in, come to mom quickly."

Cho's mother hurried to the door and pulled her daughter into the crowd.

"Mom, what happened?"

"I don't know, but it must be serious."

Back at the Wand Registry, Lucas' wand was finally registered.

Thanking the worker politely, he walked towards the door behind him.

Vinda Rosier came to the registration office, raised her wand and asked, "Do you need me to hand you my wand?"

"No, no need!" The poor man was sweating as he answered nervously.

"Thanks!"

After Vinda finished speaking, she led the rest of the Acolytes to catch up with Lucas.

When Lucas walked through the gate first.

The French Ministry of Magic looked like they were on the verge of meeting a formidable enemy.

Understandable, since Lucas and his group made too much noise and with their reputation…

"Lucas..."

Cho Chang wanted to ask Lucas to come towards herself, but before she finished speaking her mother covered her mouth.

Soon, she understood why her mother looked so nervous.

Behind Lucas, many people appeared one after another, including that charming lady she saw earlier.

These people all stepped through the gate and stood behind Lucas.

Although they are only a few hundred people.

But in terms of momentum, it overwhelmed hundreds of wizards in the square.

For wizards in France, Grindelwald and his Acolytes are just like the British wizarding world mentioning Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

Did the wizards of France hate the Alliance?

The answer is yes, but they are also full of fear of them.

…

The blond boy led his men towards Dumbledore and the two Ministers.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I am really sorry for making you come all the way to France."

"Minister Perrin, nice to meet you, I think this is our first time meeting each other, my name is Lucas Grindelwald."

Lucas first greeted the two of them, then he looked at Orwell who was left alone.

"Oh, Minister Orwell, I haven't seen you for a few months. I'm so glad to see you in such good health. How is it? Is your Ministry of Magic building ready?"

"Don't bother Mr. Grindelwald, our building has been rebuilt and it's even better than before. I really should thank the person who started the fire."

Lucas was not angry because of the German Minister's insinuations.

But Orwell obviously didn't intend to let him go easily.

"Mr. Grindelwald really has made such a big show. He came to the court meeting and brought so many people to appear intimidating?"

"I think you have misunderstood, Minister Orwell, I just brought some people here to be worthy of such a grand welcome ceremony."

Seeing that Orwell was still planning to continue, Louise Perrin immediately stood up and interrupted.

"Mr. Grindelwald has traveled all the way here, and there is still some time before the court hearing, so why don't I show you around the place?"

"I also have this plan, so I have to trouble Minister Perrin, Headmaster, do you want to go together?"

"Certainly!"

Dumbledore stepped forward with a smile and the two walked side by side towards the interior of the Ministry of Magic.

Looking at the backs of the three of them acting so friendly Orwell snorted disdainfully, but finally followed behind them.

Cho Chang watched Lucas fade away with her eyes full of curiosity about him.

"My dear girl, you have to remember, no matter whether you are at school or outside, you must stay away from that boy."

Cho obviously didn't intend to agree, but seeing her mother's concerned eyes, she nodded.

But whether she will be really obedient, only she knows.

…

The French Ministry of Magic is not much different from the English one.

The Departments are basically the same.

But both the architecture and the decoration here are full of French style and look much more aesthetically pleasing.

Except for important places, Lucas visited almost every place in the French Ministry of Magic he could go to.

Until they came to the trial court where the next court session was about to start.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a new achievement: exploring the French Ministry of Magic; rewards: 200 achievement points, a map of the French Ministry of Magic.]

One of the purposes of this trip was accomplished.

Lucas and Dumbledore walked into the courtroom, talking and laughing together.

As for Vinda and the others, they stayed outside and waited for news.

"Now I announce that the court proceedings concerning the seizure of 63 stores under the name of the Saints Investment Group in Germany and France will now begin!"

Accompanied by the sound of a hammer being struck.

Lucas also came to sit on the high-backed chair in the middle of the courtroom.
