Chapter 733 Public Safety

( ) Seeing her mother asking, Penello's tone was full of pride: "Although Alan has not graduated yet, he was working at the Ministry of Magic at the beginning of the summer vacation. The Ministry of Magic is equivalent to our government, and his position is similar to that in the human world. scientist. In addition, he is also a professor at Hogwarts, and he is also the seeker of the England Quidditch national team, and won the World Cup championship in the last game, which is equivalent to today's The world’s top players…”

But unlike Penello's idea, Mrs. Crevat had a completely different feeling when she heard these titles. As far as she knew, Alan Harris was still a minor student, and he actually had to do so many professions. The same is true for her own daughter. Not only is she a well-respected agent, she is also said to be working part-time at a pharmaceutical company in the wizarding world. This makes Letizia's favor for the wizarding world decline even faster. The lawyer took another pitiful look at her daughter's clothes, remembering the uniform that had basically not been changed since Penello started working. She misunderstood that even the so-called wizard elites in the wizarding world needed to undergo training. Only by working multiple jobs can one maintain a decent life. Letizia now even suspected that the luxurious classic car they were riding in was rented by the underage boy in front of her for the sake of dignity.

"In addition, Alan's father Owen Harris is the new minister of the British Ministry of Magic, which is equivalent to our prime minister." Penello continued to want to prove the excellence of her boyfriend and his family in front of her parents, "And his other family members also They all hold important positions in the Ministry of Magic. You can understand that the current British wizarding world is controlled by Alan and his family."

Mr. Crevat's eyes flashed, remembering his daughter's introduction to the wizarding world. Compared with his own society, the population of the wizarding world is much smaller, and a student who has not yet graduated can occupy a place in their government. Even holding several important jobs at the same time, and now that I heard that one family can have such control over the wizarding world, the wizarding world may not sound formal and rigorous, just like a child playing house.

"In that case, Mr. Harris's family seems to be a famous family in the wizarding world..." Mr. Crevat tried calmly, secretly disdainful in his heart. Unlike himself and his wife who have achieved their current status through hard work, this person in front of him The fact that a young boy who has not yet graduated can obtain so many titles is probably due to his family's strength.

Penelope was not used to using Legilimency on her family members, and she failed to detect the meaning of her father's words. She just continued to introduce secretly proudly: "The most popular umbrella company in the wizarding world is where I work part-time. That company is actually a family business belonging to the Harris family. The Umbrella Company produces many products and has a monopoly in the wizarding world."

"The Umbrella Company relies on everyone's hard work. As for my own career, although the income from each job is quite considerable in the wizarding world, these are actually not important to me... because I am the successor to Nickler. The only wizard after May who made the Philosopher's Stone." As he spoke, Allen took out an omniscient collar badge from his pocket, pressed the middle eye and said, "We are almost there, please come and pick it up."

"Nicholas Flamel...Mr. Harris, you mean you can turn stone into gold?" Mr. Crevat was surprised for a long time to match the legends and reality in his mind, and then found that Allen had started to drive the car towards him. Land down.

Mr. Crevat turned his head and looked out the window, watching the car pass through the clouds, directly over the large black iron gate, and fall into the courtyard of a Georgian-style building. The iconic black brick wall and the There was a simple black wooden door with a chandelier in front of it. There was a lion's head knocking on the door and a white Arabic numeral "10" on the door. Looking at this familiar scenery, he shouted anxiously: "No. 10 Downing Street" ? You can't go in there casually. Leave quickly or you will be detained. Our profession must not be stained."

But then he shut his mouth, because Mr. Crevat discovered that the policeman standing in front of the iron gate seemed to have not seen such a car illegally breaking in. He stood straight guarding the iron gate, but he happened to be right. They turned a blind eye.

The car came to a complete stop. Allen got out of the car, opened the rear door, and then snapped his fingers behind him. In the direction of Mr. Crevat, who had just gotten out of the car door, he touched his waist and looked at the guard who was looking over. He turned his head back, as if the sudden appearance of these people in the yard should be like this and there was nothing to be surprised about.

And when the Crevat couple followed Allen to the Prime Minister's residence, they saw the man standing on the front steps waiting with a smile. Their breathing became rapid, and they exchanged looks with each other in surprise. "Felipe..." Mrs. Crevat pointed at the man on the steps to her husband. She felt her heart beat faster. The place where Ellen Harris invited her to dinner turned out to be the Prime Minister's Palace. This area was huge. It was not open to ordinary people part of the time, and only the most powerful people among her and her husband's employers could enter this place. Fortunately, the professionalism she had always cultivated made her back straighter and straighter in this situation.

Mr. Crevat frowned and lowered his head, whispering to his wife beside him: "Letizia, this may be controlled by magic."

But before Mrs. Crevat had time to respond, the Prime Minister had already walked down the steps and walked in front of them.

"Mr. Alan Harris, it's an honor to see you again." The Prime Minister smiled and extended his hand to Alan. After shaking hands, Alan introduced Penello and Crevat to the Prime Minister. "It's a pleasure to see you again." To you, Your Excellency. This is Penelope Crevat, and those are her parents, Mr. Felipe Crevat and Mrs. Letiziaro Casolano Crevat.”

"It's an honor to have the opportunity to have lunch with you." The Prime Minister immediately reached out to them. Seeing the Muggle Prime Minister in front of him, Penello, who understood Allen's intentions, changed from his usual cold attitude towards strangers and smiled at the Prime Minister.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency." Mr. Crevat leaned forward slightly, regretting not putting on his coat just now. In such an occasion, it would be unseemly to put the coat on his arm. Mrs. Crevat showed her best smile that she had practiced countless times in front of the mirror.

"Let's go in first." First, he put his hand on the lion's head knocker and knocked on the door. Then he explained to Allen and his group apologetically, "The door can only be opened from inside the house, so that the people inside can respond. Just open the door."

When the attendant behind the door opened the door, everyone entered the Prime Minister's residence. The Prime Minister took them up the large stone staircase. The yellow wall next to the stone staircase was covered with portraits of successive Prime Ministers in chronological order. "McMillan's" My wife had all the portraits removed, but Wilson restored the old tradition in 1964. In 1979 Callaghan temporarily had a color portrait, but it was soon restored. When I leave office, my portrait will also be hung. Hang here." The Prime Minister clasped his hands in front of him, took the lead, and introduced enthusiastically with his body half sideways as a master.

After going upstairs and continuing forward, the Prime Minister said to Allen somewhat flatteringly as he passed a hall: "This pillar hall, one of the three living rooms in the mansion, is usually used for official activities such as signing ceremonies. It's haunted all the time. My wife once saw a female ghost here wearing a long dress and jewelry, and she rarely stayed here after that. But it hasn't been haunted since Christopher Lee came here."

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, his new secretary named Christopher Lee quickly appeared in front of them. He bowed slightly to Allen and said to the Prime Minister: "Your Excellency, the banquet has been prepared in the small dining room. ”

"Okay, let's go over there." The Prime Minister nodded and extended his hand to Allen and the others, "Please follow me."

As they walked forward, the assistants and advisers who came and went in the Prime Minister's residence nodded to the Prime Minister and Allen. The Crevat couple walked steadily behind the Prime Minister, looking at these faces that often appeared in newspaper headlines. , I am more cautious about my posture and appearance at this time.

Finally, under the leadership of Chang Yan, everyone entered a small dining room with a white ceiling and walls decorated entirely with wood. This room was not large, and the same all-wooden tables and chairs could seat up to 8 people.

"This was originally called the "Breakfast Room," but after renovations in 1826, it became a small dining room. You can reach the State Dining Room through the double doors, but it is too big. Please forgive me for choosing this on my own. I will entertain you in a more private place." After saying that, the Prime Minister took the initiative to pull out two chairs, extended his hand to Penello and Mrs. Crevat and said, "Ladies first."

After thanking her with a smile, Mrs. Crevat smoothed her skirt and sat down. Penello also nodded and thanked the Prime Minister, taking in the environment of the small dining room with his eyes, and sat next to his mother. Allen sat to the Prime Minister's left, and Mr. Crevat to the Prime Minister's right.

As the lunch progressed and everyone became familiar with each other, the conversation between them was no longer as restrained as it was at first due to mutual understanding and the deliberate guidance of the Muggle Prime Minister.

"Mr. Crevat, so your law firm is also open in London? Then we can communicate more and practice more. Many members of Congress around me need lawyer friends like you. We can get together in private a few times to help each other. "The Prime Minister toasted to Mr. Crevat. With the acumen of politicians, the shrewd Prime Minister has seen through the purpose of Allen's arrival this time, and he is very cooperative and warmly entertained. With only one meal and these small things, he can have the opportunity to please the savior. But it is rare.

The Prime Minister's words undoubtedly provided the Crevat couple with a platform to further contact the real upper class society. Even with a full beard, Mr. Crevat's face could not be blocked. The energetic lawyer responded: "I am honored. , thank you for your support."

"You're welcome, Mr. Alan Harris is an important figure in our country. You must have heard about the recent chaos in other countries from the news. I don't know if you two know the inside story, but without Mr. Harris, I'm afraid this would not be possible. At that time, I also fell into the same anxious situation. As our most valuable friends, the two people who can be so grandly introduced by Mr. Alan Harris will naturally become my friends and distinguished guests at the Prime Minister's residence." The Prime Minister spared no effort. Praising Allen, the Crevat couple could see that the Prime Minister spoke these words with a very natural expression. Different from the mechanical faces of the previous guards who were probably mind-controlled, this was by no means a hypocritical politeness. This made their view of the wizard Great changes The wizarding world has had a greater impact on the Muggle world than they previously imagined.

The guests and hosts at this banquet had a great time, and the high-standard service and exquisite meals were secondary. The harmonious relationship created at the banquet was the focus of everyone's attention. So in the end, when the Bentley 8-liter parked in front of the law firm, and Alan politely said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Crevat at the door, Mrs. Crevat stopped him: "If you are not in a hurry, Mr. Harris might as well Come up and sit."

"Thank you for the invitation, Mrs. Crevat, but please forgive me. You know the new semester is about to begin. I have to prepare in the afternoon. If possible, we can meet again during my vacation." Ellen looked apologetic. Declined.

At this time, Mr. Crevat handed an exquisite black business card to Allen: "Mr. Harris, UU Reading www.uukｎshu.netｅt This is my business card. Although I think you wizards have many ways to solve many things, But you can call me anytime if necessary."

Penello was quite quiet at this time. She just looked at her parents sideways, her lips slightly disgusted with their snobbishness, and she felt a little embarrassed in front of Allen, but she thought about everything Allen had arranged for her today. I couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Allen took the business card with both hands and put it into the pocket of his suit jacket: "Oh, thank you so much. I have thought about it in a few years. If my family's umbrella company can come to the Muggle world to develop business, I will definitely do it." I will ask Mr. Crevat to help deal with these matters. You know, we wizards don’t know much about Muggle laws..."

Later, in the Bentley 8-liter classic car in the London sky, Allen raised his eyebrows at Penello: "How about it, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Penello looked at Ellen, who had an expression on her face asking for credit. She licked her red lips, her eyes shining brightly: "I am going to commit a crime of endangering public safety."

"what!"
