Chapter 1145: Minister's Office
The elevator slowly ascended, and Evan was the only one inside, standing in the corner wearing an invisibility cloak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"First floor, the Wizard's Office and Logistics. ”
The golden fence door opened again, and in front of Aven was a wide corridor that connected to the oval building not far away.
The corridor was quiet, there was no one, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling hanging windows on both sides, you could see the main hall of the Ministry of Magic below and the flow of people shuttling, and dozens of escalators changing positions, which was very spectacular.
Evan looked down for a while, but didn't see Riddle, and the guy didn't know where he had gone!
Delphi couldn't get out of Percy for a while, and he decided to go to Hermione's office to get the time turner himself.
Evan continued along the aisle, and after passing through the huge hanging windows, many bright wooden doors began to appear on both sides of the hallway.
On each door is a small sign with the names and titles of the people in the house, and they are arranged in a straight line.
Believing that he should be inside the oval, Evan began to look for the name on the door, looking for Hermione's office.
After turning a corner and walking for a while, the hallway leads into a spacious area.
Forty or so wizards sat in front of rows of small partitioned tables full of papers, many of them digging through them or writing reports, and Evan even saw three quills moving in front of a wizard at the same time.
He stopped at a desk where no one was around, all of whom were assistants to ministers, drafting all kinds of documents.
Fudge only had one assistant to Percy, but Hermione needed nearly fifty people, and the workload was unimaginable.
"Finally finished writing this report!" Evan heard the witch in the next compartment say, "I've heard that the Muggle Thing Management and Control Department is already using the kind of Muggle-made thing called a computer to write reports, which can automatically do what is needed, and we still need to write it by hand, it's ridiculous!"
"A lot of wizards don't think it's safe and can explode at any moment. The wizard next to her whispered, "Actually, it's still necessary to be properly vigilant, I'm not very comfortable with things that use electricity, but with magic there is no way to start the computer, that kind of Muggle item is complicated......"
"The old wizard's mind, Muggles are growing faster and faster, but you people are turning a blind eye and still immersed in the past, I don't see any difference between using electricity and magic, as long as it frees us from these tedious tasks, my house is full of electrical appliances, and I haven't seen any explosions!" replied the witch, stretching her back, "Speaking of which, I wish the Minister had passed the reform bill this time." ”
"There shouldn't be any problem, there are a lot of wizards who support her. ”
"When the time comes, the minister should arrange a holiday for herself, she spends too much time on work!"
"I don't think it's possible, she hasn't taken a vacation for five years!" said the wizard, "You should really hear what the people in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement have to say about her, in the years she was director, their department had more laws revised than in the past century, and overnight overtime had become almost the norm. ”
"The minister is good at everything, but he loves his work too much!"
"The current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement isn't much stronger, I've heard ......"
It's a lot like Hermione's style, spending most of her time at work.
Evan had intended to continue listening, but he saw Hermione walk in from the other side of the hallway.
The atmosphere in the office that had been somewhat relaxed immediately became tense, and he cautiously walked through the partitioned desks to keep up with Hermione.
The guy was obviously Delphi, as she looked nervous, her body was shaking slightly when someone called her, and it was unnatural to know how she had leveled Percy, and the two of them came to the shiny mahogany door at the end of the hall, with a sign that read: Hermione Mason, Minister of Magic.
Delphi knocked on the door with her wand, and the door opened.
Evan followed her into Hermione's office and closed the door behind her.
"Aven, are you there?" asked Delphi in a trembling voice.
"Hmm!" said Aven to lift his cloak.
"Thank goodness, I thought you weren't following up, it was Percy Weasley, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who called me over and asked me for my opinion on the bill that was about to be amended, and I didn't dare to say too much for fear of arousing his suspicions, so I told him I wasn't feeling well, so I hurried up!" Delphi said with a sigh of relief, "Alright, Aven, where do you think the time turner is hiding? ”
"There's a weird magic reaction here!" said Aven, pulling out his wand and giving it a long look, "The time turner is flying!"
No surprises, no reaction, Hermione was very proficient in protective charms.
He took two steps forward and surveyed the room.
Hermione's office was large and simply furnished, with the rows of bookshelves surrounding it being the most eye-catching.
It was filled with magic books, tens of thousands, and made Evan feel like he was back in the Hogwarts library.
In the center was a large number of desks, also piled high with papers.
Evan also saw a picture of him and Hermione, with three children on it.
A boy and two girls, about eight or nine years old, were all smiling brightly.
This photograph and some of Hermione's unique habits in this room gave Evan a strange sense of familiarity.
Hereof, Do he and Hermione have three children?
Aven's current position is a bit strange, so sneaking into his future wife's office to steal things......
"It's so big here, it's possible to hide anywhere. "It's impossible to find it in an hour." ”
"Did you notice the books on these shelves?" said Aven, walking around his desk to the large bookshelf in the back.
He could feel the traces of magic on it, and it was clear that Hermione had carefully arranged the place.
She should have known that Evan would be coming, leaving enough traces to get his attention, but she wasn't going to give him the time-turner directly.
"Well, solve the puzzle?"
There were many books on the shelves, including ordinary magic books, historical and political books that were very esoteric at first glance and only Hermione would read for fun, and many forbidden and cursed magic books, many of which Aven had never seen.
"Look at these books, "Hidden Secrets", "Magic Used by Witches in the Middle Ages", "The Code of Blood", "Old Gods and Order", "The Battle of the Dawn", "The Magical Empire of the Ancient Warlocks", "The Fall of the Empire", "Evil Black Magic", "Demons of the Fifteenth Century", and "The Sorcerer's Sonnets", ......"
