Chapter 1145 Minister's Office
The elevator slowly went up, and there was only Aiwen inside, standing in the corner wearing an invisibility cloak.
"The first floor, the office of the Minister of Magic and the logistics department."
The golden fence door opened again, and in front of Ivan was a spacious corridor, connected to the oval building not far away.
The corridor was quiet and there was no one there. The floor was covered with thick carpets. Through the huge French hanging windows on both sides, one could see the main hall of the Ministry of Magic and the flow of people passing by. Dozens of escalators were changing positions. It was spectacular.
Ivan looked down for a while, but didn't see Riddle, and this guy didn't know where he ran to!
Delphi couldn't get out of Percy for a while, so he decided to go to Hermione's office to get the Time-Turner.
Ai Wen continued along the aisle, and after passing through the huge hanging windows, many bright wooden doors began to appear on both sides of the corridor.
There is a small sign on each door, writing the names and positions of the people in the house, and they are arranged in front of each other.
Ivan felt that he should come to the oval building, and he began to pay attention to the name on the door, looking for Hermione's office.
After turning a corner and walking for a while, the aisle leads into a spacious area.
About forty male and female wizards sat in rows of small partitioned tables, and the tables were full of documents. Many people were burying their heads in reading documents or writing reports. Ivan even saw three quill pens in front of a wizard at the same time. moving.
He stopped and looked at an empty table. These wizards were all ministerial assistants and were responsible for drafting various documents.
Fudge has only one assistant, Percy, but Hermione needs nearly fifty people, and the workload is unimaginable.
"Finally finished writing this report!" Aiwen heard the witch in the next compartment say, "I heard that the Department of Muggle Affairs Management and Control is already using things called computers made by Muggles to After writing the report, you can automatically complete what you need, but we still need to write it by hand, which is simply ridiculous!"
"Many wizards think that thing is not safe and will explode at any time." The wizard next to her responded in a low voice, "In fact, it is still necessary to maintain proper vigilance. I am not at ease with things that use electricity, but using them Magic can't turn on a computer, and that kind of Muggle stuff is complicated..."
"Old-fashioned wizards' thinking, Muggles are developing faster and faster, but you people turn a blind eye and are still immersed in the past. I don't see any difference between using electricity and using magic. As long as it can help us get rid of these cumbersome My house is full of electrical appliances, and I haven’t seen any explosions!” The witch replied, stretching her waist, “Speaking of which, I hope that the minister’s bill on reform will be approved this time. pass."
"There should be no problem, there are many wizards supporting her."
"At that time, the minister should arrange a vacation for herself, she spends too much time at work!"
"I don't think it's possible. She hasn't taken a vacation for five consecutive years!" said the wizard. "You should really listen to what the people in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement say about her. During the years she was the director, their department More laws have been amended than in the past century, and overnight work has become almost the norm."
"The minister is good at everything, but he loves his work too much!"
"The current head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is not very strong, I heard..."
It's much like Hermione's style, spending most of her time working.
Ivan originally planned to continue listening, but he saw Hermione walking in from the other end of the corridor.
The somewhat relaxed office atmosphere immediately became tense, and he walked carefully through the partitioned desks to keep up with Hermione.
This guy is obviously Delphi, because she looks very nervous. When people greet her, her body trembles slightly, which is very unnatural. I don’t know how she calmed down Percy. The two of them came to the end of the hall In front of the shiny mahogany door, the sign on it clearly read: Hermione Mason, Minister of Magic.
Delphi knocked on the door with his wand, and the door swung open.
Alvin followed her into Hermione's office and closed the door behind him.
"Ivan, are you there?" Delphi asked in a trembling voice.
"Hmm!" Ivan lifted the invisibility cloak.
"Thank God, I thought you didn't catch up. It was Percy Weasley, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who called me over just now. He asked my opinion on the bill to be revised. I dare not say too much, for fear Arousing his suspicion, I told him that I was not feeling well, so I ran up in a hurry!" Delphi said with lingering fear, "Okay, Aiwen, where do you think the time converter will be hidden? We must Hurry up and find it, and get out of here before the Polyjuice Potion wears off."
"The magic reaction here is a bit strange!" Aiwen said, he took out his wand and stretched it, "The Time Converter is flying!"
No accident, no response, Hermione is very proficient in protective spells.
He took two steps forward and looked around the room.
Hermione's office is very large, with a simple layout, and the rows of bookshelves around it are the most eye-catching.
There are tens of thousands of magic books on it, which makes Ivan feel like returning to the Hogwarts library.
In the center is a lot of desks, which are also full of documents.
Ivan also saw a photo of him and Hermione, with three children on it.
A boy and two girls, about ** years old, all smiled brightly.
This photo and some of Hermione's unique habits in this room gave Ivan a strange sense of familiarity.
Here, he and Hermione have three kids?
Aiwen's current position is a bit strange, sneaking into his future wife's office to steal things...
"It's so big that it can be hidden anywhere," Delphi said. "It's impossible to find it within an hour."
"Have you noticed the books on these shelves?" Ivan walked around the desk and came to the big bookshelf behind.
He could feel the traces of magic on it, and it was clear that Hermione had carefully arranged the place.
She should know that Aiwen will come, leaving enough traces to attract his attention, but she doesn't intend to hand over the Time Converter directly to him.
"Well, solve the riddle?"
There are a lot of books on the bookshelf, including ordinary magic books, historical and political books that look very profound and only Hermione would read for entertainment, and many magic books about sex and curses, many of which are Avengers books. Have never seen.
"Look at these books, "Hidden Secrets", "Magic Commonly Used by Witches in the Middle Ages", "Blood Code", "Old Gods and Order", "War of the Dawn", "The Magical Empire of the Ancient Warlocks", "The Empire of the Empire" Has Fallen," "Dark Arts of Evil," "Demons of the Fifteenth Century," and "The Sorcerer's Sonnets"..."
