Chapter 21: The International Congress of Wizards

William's mood is extremely delicate right now.

It's a bit like the warden of Shawshank, a prisoner who has been in prison for decades, and suddenly one day ...... Vanish into thin air.

Just one word - Gan! (some kind of flapping instrument)

King Heimeng, when can't you escape from prison, just pick me up when I come to visit the prison...... Deliberately targeting me, right?

If you are too angry, you are too angry, and you want to make a big news?

Voldemort's second comeback is still brewing, and you will directly grab the headlines!

Sure enough, Hermione really went wherever she went...... This terrible constitution.

William's eyes wandered and he glanced at her, and the girl just happened to look at her.

The two looked at each other, tacitly understood, and tacitly understood what the other party thought.

That's right, the other party is the root of all evil that walks.

So William suffered, and Hermione stretched out two fingers and secretly twisted his waist, trying to use violence to get him to admit the label so that he could clear his name.

William grabbed Hermione's hand and didn't let her go any further, as he walked towards the room.

The room was small and basic, and there was no place to hide people, let alone dig tunnels.

As a Sherlock Holmes in the ******s, William's eyes were like torches, and he was full of energy.

He bent slightly, and on the ground, there was a pool of ashes.

William's wand was raised, and the ashes were collected in a glass bottle.

In order to prevent the old man from being idle and bored, he wanted to change his cell and change his mood; Or take a walk in the castle; Or, go to the conference hall to reminisce about the prosperity of the past...... William and the others searched the castle again.

But after twenty minutes of searching, nothing was found.

Instead, he found the three Aurors who had been knocked unconscious.

Yes, the Aurors were knocked unconscious, and the people must be gone.

And during this time, the Aurors of the Austrian Ministry of Magic had also appeared and rushed to the scene.

Looking at the large number of Aurors who were like a great enemy, and the stern face of Minister Soros, William also breathed a sigh of relief.

And if Soros is still very calm? Then he couldn't help but wonder:

The wizards of Austria are all Grindelwald's ghosts.

……

……

Grindelwald though imprisoned in Austria? But his prison break is not just a national problem in Austria? Rather, it is a serious international problem.

Who made him at his peak? It has spread throughout Europe and North America.

This is an international war criminal!

The International Wizards' Conference, which was supposed to be held the next day, was also forced to start urgently in the middle of the night.

And this time? It was only then that 17 countries were represented.

It is such a seventeen countries, and the International Federation of Wizards must come up with a reasonable solution as soon as possible.

Why is the Federation so afraid?

The representatives of the countries are basically old wizards? Most of them lived through the Grindelwald era.

Young people may be more familiar with Voldemort? I'm even more afraid of this 'black second generation'.

But the older know better than anyone how terrible Grindelwald is about the 'Black Generation'.

His greatest strength is never strength, but demagogy.

The United States once captured Grindelwald, but only imprisoned him for half a year? The Aurors of the guards were changed three times.

All the wizards who have been in contact with him for a long time? They were all bewitched by him.

Here comes the problem again...... The International Federation of Wizards has no leader, and there is no president.

The original president was Dumbledore, who had been disqualified from representing the British Minister of Magic, Fudge.

The International Confederation of Wizards, the equivalent of the United Nations with real power? And the power of the president is indeed greater than that of the Minister of Magic of a country.

But is the president elected from among the representatives of various countries? If you want to become a president, you must first be a national representative.

And to become a national representative? It must be appointed by the Minister of Magic, and must be approved by a vote of the Wizengamot.

Is this also Fudge's disapproval of Dumbledore's deputy? The reason why he lost his qualification as president.

Now that the president is gone? The meeting? Originally, there was the task of choosing a new president.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Grindelwald prison escape happened.

As for the temporary appointment of the vice president, it is a pity...... The Wizards Federation does not have the position of vice president.

This is very similar to the Pope, there are only cardinals below, who has ever heard of the so-called vice-pope?

"I think it's imperative that Dumbledore be brought back as soon as possible so that he can be back in charge of the overall situation."

As a loyal supporter, the representative of Macedonia was the first to speak.

His words were echoed by many wizards.

"Indeed, only Dumbledore can fight against Grindelwald."

"That's right, go to Hogwarts and ask Dumbledore!"

Some agreed, others opposed, and many delegates had already taken a fancy to the vacant position of president and wanted to go further.

"I'm sorry, but Dumbledore has been removed from Fudge for making false claims." The representative of Russia said loudly.

"I haven't heard that a wizard who is not qualified can continue to serve as the president, which is not in accordance with the regulations.

We are to re-elect the president of the letter. ”

"It's going to take a long time to be chosen, and it's enough for Grindelwald to rise three times!" The representative of Italy shouted.

That's true.

The election of the president has always followed the old election method.

This tradition is timeless...... Confidentiality, folded notes, burned ballots, mixtures of ancient potions, smoke signals.

According to the rules for the election of the president:

On election day, delegates are to live in "secret rooms".

During the election of the president, the secret room is completely isolated from the rest of the world, and the doors are locked and sealed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Twice a day, the delegates held a secret vote award, and after the votes were counted, the ballots were immediately burned, and the smoke was channelled out of the windows through the pipes, so that the wizards who gathered nearby knew about the vote.

If there is not a candidate who has enough votes, black smoke is emitted by burning ballots with wet grass, and white smoke is emitted by burning ballot papers with hay if a representative is elected.

Upon the announcement of the dissolution of the new president, the election will be suspended.

In the longest case, it took two months to elect a new president.

For a moment, the entire conference hall was noisy.

"I think ......," suddenly a sweet voice said.

As Fudge's close comrade-in-arms and companion, Umbridge replaced Dumbledore as the new British representative.

"Given this crisis, I think we have to stick together at this time," she said.

Although Dumbledore has stepped down, this representative can continue to continue him and continue to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the president. ”

The president of the federation has a great deal of power and can favor his own country to a certain extent.

Not as a last resort, and Fudge didn't want Dumbledore to step down. So this vacancy must be fought for.

To be a wizard, you have to have a dream, what if you succeed?

"Crisis? The wizarding world has never been out of crisis......" the French representative sneered.

"The representative of your country may have a bad memory, not to mention the Death Eaters who raged in England more than a decade ago.

Let's just say that two years ago, Blake escaped from prison in Azkaban; the Quidditch World Cup, which was attacked a year ago; And the kidnapped wizards of various countries......"

"This new British representative - um tenderloin, right?

What you call a 'crisis' is nothing more than a manifestation of your own ignorance.

After all, in a hurry, you may not be qualified for the position of British representative. ”

The words of the representative of France were full of irony, as if Umbridge were a little girl who had never seen the world.

Umbridge blushed and glared fiercely.

But the representative of France only gave a middle finger and expressed disdain.

Your head will get used to you, and no one will take care of you here!
