Chapter 320 The Wizengamot British Youth Representative
"Shock!The famous magizoologist Newt Scamander was recently arrested in Paris! "
"Call for the Establishment of a Wizard Blacklist: Completely Ban Scamander!" "
"He's coming, he's coming, he's coming with his black box!" "
In the early morning, people came and went outside Furstenberg Square.
Many wizards were looking at the "Parisian Daily" in their hands while walking. The shocking headlines really attracted attention.
Two young wizards appeared in the crowd, and they seemed out of place among the office workers.
As the headquarters of the French Ministry of Magic, its entrance is at Place Furstenberg in the [-]th arrondissement of Paris.
William pulled Hermione and stopped by a tree near the fountain. The roots of the tree suddenly burst out, forming a birdcage elevator around them.
Hermione was a little nervous. It was her first visit to the Ministry of Magic, and it was actually the French Ministry of Magic.
The girl's palms were a little sweaty, and William tapped the back of her hand with his fingers, signaling to relax.
The elevator slowly descended to the ground, and the two followed the crowd into the hall of the Ministry of Magic.
This is an artistic hall with a large number of constellations painted on the vaulted ceiling.
Because it was morning, there was an endless stream of office workers, and wizards kept coming to the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace.
William and Hermione walked to the front.
The receptionist was a very young witch, with thick wine-colored hair that fell naturally on her shoulders, and she looked like she had just graduated from school.
Otherwise, I won't come to the front desk.
Seeing William approaching, her eyes lit up, and she asked gently in French, "I'm Costa, the receptionist. Welcome to the Ministry of Magic. What business do you handle?"
"I want to visit the prison." William said skillfully in French: "Visit Mr. Newt Scamander."
Costa raised her eyebrows. She also read the newspaper and knew that Scamander had been arrested.
——The old bastard who repeatedly brought the crisis of destroying the cities to the major cities!
Her tone was still gentle: "I'm sorry, he is an important prisoner of the Ministry of Magic... If you need it, you can ask your parents to come..."
She frowned suddenly, and said in surprise, "Sorry, you're not French, are you?"
"No." William froze for a moment, and said strangely, "Can you tell from my accent that I'm not French?"
No, Fu Rong clearly said that his accent is very authentic, a standard Parisian accent!
"No." Costa covered his mouth and smiled, "I just graduated from Beauxbatons, if you are a student of Beauxbatons, I have no reason not to be impressed.
Your appearance is the kind that people will never forget once they see it once. "
William was speechless for a moment, it turned out that his outstanding appearance gave him away.
It seems that he is handsome, but he is not so happy, and occasionally there are small troubles that are not too annoying.
melancholy...
"It's true that I'm not a student of Beauxbatons, I go to Hogwarts." William explained.
"Hogwarts?" Costa was stunned for a moment, "Then your French is amazing! I rarely meet an Englishman who speaks such authentic French... How old are you?"
The young lady has been at the front desk for a long time, she is bored and chattering, even chattering than Bertha.
William endured for two seconds before interrupting and repeating: "Miss Costa, I need to visit the prison and see Mr. Newt Scamander."
"But... no." Costa insisted: "Scamander is a prisoner now, and no one can visit him. You two are not yet adults, let alone..."
"Actually, he can!" Hermione retorted in broken French.
William learned French, and Hermione also learned some from him, and could still speak some of the simplest daily routines.
In fact, many well-educated British children can say a few words.
After all, French has a great influence on Britain. The Duke of Norman conquered England.
Until now, French is still an important language of the British royal family and a symbol of high society.Not only is the state banquet menu written in French, but even the national emblem is in French.
"William is the representative of the Wizengamot's British youth." Hermione said seriously.
This passage of French was extremely fluent, and Hermione had obviously practiced it in private.
"He has a right to see Scamander!"
Scotta was taken aback. As a small employee of the Ministry of Magic, she still knew about the Wizengamot.
How old is this boy?Is it the representative of the British Wizengamot Youth?
Each country has a Wizengamot Junior representative.Generally over the age of 16, one-third of the wizards of the Wizengamot need to agree to finally pass the review.
Those highly respected wizards are very picky, and most of the youth representatives are vacant positions.
Dumbledore was his youth representative at the time.As a recipient of the Medal of Merlin, William was a little lacking in age, but he was still able to approve it.
During the summer vacation of the first grade, Fudge offered to help him apply, and then there was nothing to say, until now, with the help of Dumbledore, he passed the review.
"I am indeed the representative of the Wizengamot British youth." Seeing that the other party did not believe it, William gestured to Hermione.
Hermione immediately pulled a badge with the letter W from her pocket, along with other items identifying him.
"According to Article 70 of the International Statute of Secrecy, each country's wizard management agency is responsible for hiding the magical world within its jurisdiction..."
William just looked at the information temporarily, so he got stuck slightly.
Hermione, who had a strong memory, stuck to his back and whispered a reminder.
William immediately said: "Well... Violators will be punished by the management agency.
Whatever Scamander did in Paris, we have the legal right to extradite him. "
"And then he will be judged harshly by the impartial British Wizengamot," echoed Hermione. "Send him to Azkaban!"
This paragraph of French is memorized again.
The two sang together, the young lady was dumbfounded, she is just a counter clerk, do you want to be so serious?
"You two are right, child." A stern voice sounded behind several people.
A wizard in a purple robe walked over from the door.He was probably in his mid-60s and had a small goatee on his face.
"Mr. Clegane," said Scott quickly and respectfully.
"Yeah." Clegane nodded, then stared at William, who held out his hand.
"Mr Stark... the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, I've heard of you.
I am the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement... and it is I who ordered Scamander's arrest. "
William shook hands with each other.
"When did you become the Wizengamot's UK youth representative?"
"Yesterday." William said softly, "It's just a small matter, and I just received the notification."
"Dumbledore is fast... We've only captured Scamander for a day." Clegane sneered.
"But you're just a youth representative, unlike the Wizengamot members.
According to the Wizengamot Charter of Rights, you have the right to a hearing... and only the right to a hearing, not the right to vote, let alone the right to extradite prisoners. "
Youth representatives are different from members of the Wizengamot. The symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning. This is a very prestigious honorary title.
In other words, he has the right to attend, study, and even express his opinion on any trials in the UK, no matter how much it is useful.
The Wizengamot would not allow a youth representative to vote.
"But I have the authorization of Dumbledore. He is the chief magician of the British Wizengamot and the president of the International Federation." William said.
Hermione pulled a piece of paper from her pocket, covered in golden cursive.
The International Federation of Wizards is an intergovernmental organization in the wizarding world, roughly equivalent to the United Nations in the Muggle world, headed by the President of the International Federation of Wizards.
However, unlike the Secretary-General of the United Nations in the Muggle world, the International Federation of Wizards is a department with real power, which can interfere with the sovereignty of countries to a certain extent.
William originally had no rights, but with Dumbledore's authorization and his own representative identity, it would suddenly cease to be a symbolic meaning.
"It's Dumbledore's handwriting." Clegane checked.
"However, the International Magic Law Office has not informed us that even if Dumbledore is the president of the Wizarding Union, this letter cannot leapfrog and order me to release people.
Strictly speaking, I am not governed by an Englishman! "
"I understand." William said with a smile, "So, back to our original application.
I need a prison visit to hear Scamander's confession!
By order of the President of the International Federation of Wizards, to represent the British Wizengamot, to exercise rights in France... I don't think you will object, will you? "
Clegane stepped back, squinting, and surveyed the young man in front of him.
