A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

"Minerva, you and them should go back first." Dumbledore shook his head at Rogge. It seemed that the times had changed far beyond his imagination.

The poor Muggle women in the hall were scared and hiding in the arms of wizards, seeking comfort.

"Professor, are you really not allowed to go?" Roger grabbed Professor McGonagall's sleeve and looked at her eagerly.

"The Garden of Eden, it's a place in the Bible! Did Muggles really create it? Just let me take a look!"

"Absolutely not!" Mag and Newt looked at each other, and they rejected the little wizard's request righteously.

"Then can I move freely?"

"No way!" Professor McGonagall shook her head, took his hand and left the City Hall Garden.

Behind him, James, the chairman of the Magic Congress, took Dumbledore and Fudge to the ranch called Eden. Delis and others were left to guard the captured wizard.

Back at the hotel, Newt opened the box of magical animals and took out the golden bird's nest: "Okay, Roger, let's learn some knowledge about the Golden Snidget first."

"Mr. Newt, shouldn't we remove the mask first?"

The bird's nest was protected by old Bowman with ancient magic, and no one except him could unlock it.

"Our ultimate goal is not to take out the eggs, but to bring Snitch back into the magical family." Newt shook his head and took out a handwritten manuscript.

"The Golden Snidget has disappeared for at least 200 years, and research on them has almost been lost. We need to make preparations for their incubation, growth, and reproduction."

"Newt is a master of magical creatures. You can learn a lot." Professor McGonagall reminded from the side. "In third grade, the school will teach Care of Magical Creatures. Learning more knowledge will be very helpful for your future studies."

Rogge nodded and began to learn from Newt under the encouraging gaze of Professor McGonagall. The professor sat nearby and watched to prevent him from sneaking out and seeing some messy things.

Dumbledore and the other three headed north, leaving the rainy New York. The Eden Ranch that James was talking about is located near the Great Lakes. Muggles who have been there gave it another name: Paradise Ranch.

The ranch is located in the northwest of Lake Superior, covering a vast area and with pleasant scenery. The entrance is an exquisite red brick arch with the words "Garden of Eden" engraved on it.

It looks ordinary and quiet here, with some trees scattered on the grass. A path leads directly to the white two-story main building in the distance, and there is no problem.

"Gentlemen, please use the Disguise Charm to follow me." James motioned to everyone not to disturb the patrolling cowboys, and the group used the Disappearance Charm to become invisible and enter the ranch.

"It looks normal from the front, but you can only see its true appearance after entering the main building." James clicked his fingers lightly, and the wooden door of the white building opened immediately.

"A few years ago, a Muggle businessman invited me here." James explained in advance to avoid being misunderstood.

"Who?" The cowboy on duty heard the noise and came over to check with his gun on his back.

The building was empty, but there were many armed guards patrolling the second floor. James motioned for everyone to wait, and soon followed a Muggle star into the elevator.

"Your Excellency Dumbledore, I hope you can calm down." His reminder made Dumbledore frown.

As the elevator door opens, the real Garden of Eden is revealed to everyone. This is a splendid underground palace. Everywhere you look is filled with gold. Even the burgers are covered with 32g of gold foil.

The floor here is as bright as a mirror, and the secrets under the skirt are reflected. But there is nothing to reflect on, because there is no shortage of women here. Those wrapped in gold powder, held on a leash, with their backs used as cigar ashtrays by men...or even caged with dogs.

There are only two things missing here, cloth and men.

The men wore laurel wreaths and wore a piece of white cloth in the style of a kolemith. They were like real ancient Roman nobles, walking in this luxurious palace. This small palace is private and open only to friends.

Dumbledore turned and left. He had never thought that the Muggle world had such a side. This was very different from his previous understanding.

A few people stood on the island by the lake, and James sighed. Seeing Dumbledore's heavy face, he knew that the crisis was over.

"Mr. President, my Muggle friends told me that there are many private assets like this."

"For them, they only need to pay a suitable remuneration to enjoy various services. Give the other person one year's income, five years' income, or save urgently needed funds for their loved ones."

"The Muggle just now is a top star in their world. In Muggle terms, he is very, very handsome and very popular. Such a person is already the dream of countless Muggles, and no one knows when he falls."

"No one knows what happened after we left here." James' words left Dumbledore speechless to refute.

For wizards, Muggle wealth or life-saving potions are just a few spells and herbs, which they can easily obtain. In this age of exploding wealth, any wizard can become some wealthy Muggle's Rasputin.

"As for the collusion between the Congress and the Thunderbirds, I will give an explanation to the International Magical Federation. Those wizards who use love potions, enslave, and oppress Muggles will be punished in accordance with the law."

"I myself will choose to resign after this matter is settled." James' words shocked Fudge. The fat minister had not yet recovered from his extravagance.

He gained some self-confidence because of Delis' actions, but when he heard James take the blame and resign, he realized how terrifying Dumbledore's power was.

He doesn't need any organization or power. Just standing there alone, all the honorary titles will come to you. Chief Judge of the Wizengamot, President of the International Federation of Magic...these are just footnotes to the wizarding world showing his strength.

Fudge clenched his fists. After seeing the power of the Ministry of Magic, he was unwilling to be overthrown one day. He is the British Minister of Magic on whom the sun never sets! Looking at the old wizard with silver beard and hair in front of him, Fudge felt that a towering mountain was standing there, and he had to unclench his fist.

"Okay. I want to walk around a lot these days."

In this old man's heart, although Muggles cannot feel magic and think it is a kind of deception and illusion, they should still respect each other and treat each other as equals. Even though there had been witch hunts in history and Muggles had promulgated the Caroline Penal Code, he still believed that wizards and Muggles needed understanding and friendship.

But today, James told him that no one oppressed Muggles. What truly enslaves them is not the magic of wizards, but the power of money. Regardless of whether the other party is a wizard or not, as long as you pay some money, you can let the sin enjoy the glory.

James breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed: "Of course, Mr. President. I promise that everything will be properly resolved before you leave the United States."

"Minister Fudge, the Thunderbirds still need help from you troublemakers."

"no problem."

…

The wizard who was imprisoned last night caused turmoil in the entire Congress. The first thing James did when he returned to Woolworth Tower was to stabilize people's hearts.

"I announce three things. First, the Thunderbirds have clear evidence of hunting and selling magical creatures. The Magical Congress of the United States of America will join forces with the British Ministry of Magic to crack down on them."

“Second, after Thunderbirds members are captured, they will be dug out of the protective umbrella within Congress based on their confessions and put on trial.”

"Third, any wizard who uses love potions and other means to confuse and enslave Muggles will be released to Muggles within three days and surrendered to the Ministry of Magic. The Enforcement Department will punish them in accordance with the law."
