Chapter 1250 ? The Leaky Cauldron Bar
On every street in the wizarding world, the hottest topic among wizards is the arrest of armed Aurors known as the "Muggle House Incident".
This incident not only arrested those pure-blood families who gathered in secret, but also caused many wizard casualties. There was an uproar.
But compared to the past, the remnants of the pure-blood family involved and the wizards who were not affected by the arrest no longer controlled their own media to criticize the Ministry of Magic and slander Harris. The "Muggle House Incident", as if it didn't happen, will not be commented on.
In the recent history of the British wizarding world where the law has been perfected, it is almost impossible for so many pure blood to be captured or even died-the last time such a large-scale operation took place after the First Wizarding War , although the number of people arrested is also enough, but more people are just put on trial and sent to Azkaban.
Many people have been frightened by Harris's iron-blooded action that showed his fangs this time. They are afraid that Harris and the others will find a way to frame them for collusion with the Death Eaters, and they will also be arrested for trial-no one dares to do it here. This kind of time challenges Harris and the Ministry of Magic, who control the violent institutions, head-on.

But they are not without resistance, because for the British native wizards, they not only know the surnames and family history of these ancient pure-blood families who were arrested, but also the miracles of the stories handed down from the ancestors of these pure-blood wizards. Their relatives, friends, bosses, employees, customers, and all the products they use in their growth and life accompany them throughout their lives.
So in these situations where they dare not speak up, they try to make themselves like victims of persecution-before seeing so many familiar surnames being enchanted because of the bombing attacks and anger at their collusion with the Death Eaters. The large-scale arrests and even the extinction of the main family due to casualties did make many British wizards feel sympathetic, and they would have a feeling that things are almost enough and they should not continue to expand.
However, the British magic world at this time is no longer the non-immigrant state before the floating city took off, because the mysterious people are raging in Europe and the floating city supports public knowledge and careless research, so that the British magic world, especially the UK The composition of the personnel on the Floating Void City has become less British, and immigrants from all over the world have also brought over the customs and knowledge of the magic world in their own country.
So for them, it is not unacceptable for the upper class of the British aborigines to be overthrown, especially if they are charged with colluding with Voldemort and the Death Eaters to provide them with resources. For this kind of behavior that caused their suffering, the refugees among the immigrants and the wizards who came to the floating city because of safety issues, in addition to feeling relieved, they even felt that they had not done enough.
Those foreign wizards who came to settle in pursuit of knowledge and wealth were also very happy to see their success. After the old upper class was overthrown, they had more opportunities to climb up.
Because of the different concepts, the contradictions between the aborigines and immigrants in the British wizarding world have begun to appear, because the differences in cultural customs are not so easy to solve if they want to understand and integrate with each other. Some members of the Ministry of Magic proposed to use similar methods in some Muggle countries to establish gathering areas based on ethnic culture to solve the problem, but Harris refused.
These actions and policies have indeed reduced Harris's reputation in the eyes of British native wizards. The saying that they are originally outsiders and don't care about local traditions has become popular among wizards-local wizards are worried about this. Immigrants are grateful for this.
Unlike the British magic world, which can only be regarded as an undercurrent and a bright side, which is still stable, the attitude towards Harris abroad is not so tactful.
Countries like Germany and Bulgaria, which suffered from the previous confrontation at the national level, reported heavily in their own media, trying to reverse the impression of wizards in the country and the previous strong, safe and prosperous British magic community. In the United States, under the instigation of some anti-Harris factions through this incident, they tried to shape Britain into a very depressive and anti-liberal power society.
A theory that the British wizarding world is the root of all evil began to spread around the world under the impetus of people with good intentions, from the Death Eaters of the Mysterious Man, to the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, to the recent name of containing and supervising Grindelwald. Waugh actually made him blatantly become the vice president of the university, and finally extended it to Harris, referring to the invention of the floating city and energy nuclear, the trade conflicts caused by it, and the subsequent behavior of Harris establishing similar colonies on neutral locations to plunder resources from other countries ;The Ravenclaw god-making movement has also been criticized and doubted again, because the death thing is too far away for most people after all. The wizards in the UK who have experienced divine power are okay, but those Ravenclaw gods abroad Skeptics have indeed begun to grow in places where the influence of power cannot reach.
In a sense, these things do have a certain connection with the British magic world, so countries around the world use these things to try to portray the British magic world as the culprit of all bad things, implying that Harris’ actions This is for dictatorship.
And the progress of things afterwards also developed as many people worried, and Harris showed their fangs to the British magic world.
Those armed Aurors under Albert bypassed the Auror office, and are now directly under the command of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Through this arrest and the joint reaction after the overnight interrogation, the objects and scope of the arrest have been further expanded. Many families in the entire British wizarding world are in constant panic.
The Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, a stooped figure with a lantern in his hand emerges through the doorway behind the bar.
Wrinkled, toothless old Tom greeted expectantly: "Ms. Burns? I don't see you very often... and Mr. Longbottom, what would you like to drink? Fire whiskey? Cassis rum ?”
"Give us some tea, it is necessary to keep our heads clear at this time." Mr. Foley turned the gemstone ring on his hand restlessly.
"What are you afraid of Hector, I don't even dare to drink wine...Tom, bring me a fish-flavored green beer." Algee Longbottom muttered, in fact, he was also very afraid that Harris would give me a glass of beer because of the previous school. Dong's incident dealt a blow to his property, but pure-blooded pride kept him calm and pretended not to care.
"We need a quiet room, Tom." The witch wearing the monocle lowered her voice and said bluntly. Although this bar, which is favored by many middle and lower class people, is very deserted, it is obvious that she does not want to attract too many people's attention.
"Ma'am, if you want a quiet place, you can come to me... Don't worry, as long as there is no crime, the Ministry of Magic doesn't care about the party." Old Tom greeted graciously, and he walked ahead with a lamp, muttering He complained, "But it's getting harder and harder for me to do business with few people... except for some old customers, few people come... Alas, those Muggle-born children will probably not come to Diagonal next summer vacation." Alley shopping, I guess I won’t even be able to sell a sandwich…”
"Then why don't you move up there? I remember you have a good relationship with Harris?" Algee Longbottom stretched out his fingers and gestured towards the sky, his voice echoed in the narrow passage.
"They called me, but if I go to open a tavern," Old Tom's toothless mouth pointed towards a few customers, "some regular customers may not be able to come in."
"Tom, if Dumbledore comes later, tell him where we are." Amelia Bones urged.
"I don't think Albus would want to be a part of any of your affairs..." Tom snapped his fingers, and a fire lit up in the fireplace. "Your justice, Ms. Burns, deserves a cleaning of your room."
