Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

No wonder Eugene trusted Adam so unconditionally. After all, that was how Adam brought back his parents who were trapped in the ruins of the Hanging Garden.

In fact, there is one thing that Eugene has never told Adam, that is, during the vacation when he came home after his parents were rescued, Mrs. Lauren told him about his parents...

All things.

Mrs. Lauren can allow her grandson to have illusions when his parents do not come back, but after her son and daughter-in-law come back, she does not want her grandson to live in self-deception.

Lies are lies after all. If you indulge in false beauty, you will become weak when facing the cruel truth.

Of course, there is no conflict between letting Eugene know the truth and breaking the legs of his son and daughter-in-law if they dare to run away. Mrs. Lauren believes that they can develop a real relationship between father and son and mother and son after spending a long time together.

And if Eugene can't bear the cruel truth, then Mrs. Lauren will not force him to accept it. It is not difficult for the former Auror office director to forget everything. She also has the confidence to keep the scenes of her son and daughter-in-law hidden. flaw.

Fortunately, Eugene did not disappoint her in the end. After understanding his parents' attitude towards him, Eugene was just disappointed for a while, and then with a sigh of regret, he asked Mrs. Lauren to let go of her parents and let them pursue their true love. The dream of love.

He thanked his grandma for believing that he was strong enough inside, and thanked Adam for everything he had done to protect his fantasy, but he would make his own choices.

Eugene is indeed stronger than he thought.

Standing in front of Eugene, Adam couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he had no intention of prying into his brother's memories, Eugene recalling these things in front of him was equivalent to putting these memories directly in front of him for him to see.

Without showing that he knew these things that he shouldn't know, Adam casually asked Eugene about their current progress.

Well, although it has only gone as far as clearing out the dark wizards and dark creatures, it can be said to be quite gratifying, especially with some of the problems that have arisen in the process.

For example, some dark creatures with high intelligence, such as vampires, when faced with arrest by the Ministry of Magic, actually ask the Ministry of Magic to judge their crimes as "human beings" instead of directly exterminating them.

These guys know that there is no death penalty in the British Ministry of Magic, and now that the Dementors have followed Voldemort to cause chaos, it is impossible for Azkaban to continue to employ Dementors as jailers.

Azkaban without the dementors is just a small room with room and board for them, especially vampires, who are serving a sentence of several decades for just a sleep.

It's a pity that these guys have some culture but not much, and they don't know that the laws of the Ministry of Magic have been changed.

There are indeed no dementors in Azkaban now, but there is Bernard.

How to put it... Regarding those guys who go to jail after committing crimes, Adam feels that the two actually have their own merits and are indistinguishable.

Not mentioning this, there is actually one thing that I overthink about dark creatures such as vampires, that is, even if they are magical animals classified as "beasts", they may have to accept trial from the Ministry of Magic.

Eugene was dealing with these documents, talking to Adam and planning to go to the conference room.

"Can I sit in?"

"Of course, it's up to you."

Eugene shrugged his shoulders and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking towards the conference room.

When he arrived at the conference room, Eugene found that Adam had changed a chair in the corner and sat down directly, while everyone who came after him ignored him.

After everyone gathered, Eugene asked his deputy to hand out the documents, while he couldn't help but sigh that Adam's illusion skills were getting better and better.

"It's not magic, it's psychology."

Eugene's eyes widened slightly, but he didn't look back when he heard the voice coming from behind.

"Just like just now, your attention was on those documents, so you didn't see me getting up from my seat and walking behind you. I slightly adjusted the effect so that they wouldn't notice me."

As Adam spoke, he walked around the conference table, which was almost full of people, and stretched out his fingers from time to time:

"This guy is not very loyal to you, but it doesn't matter. He is just a wallflower. He will listen to whoever is the Minister of Magic."

"This guy wants you to call back the people next to the Hanging Garden ruins as soon as possible, and seek opportunities for promotion after muddying the waters. Find an opportunity for him to go on a business trip to the African savannah."

"Oh~ This guy...well...it's nothing, it's just that he has a crush on you."

"puff--"

Eugene regretted a little bit that he used the action of drinking water to cover up his expression after hearing Adam's comment.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room looked up at Eugene.

"Ahem, I'm fine. Keep reading. We will try to resolve all issues at this meeting."

Eugene beat his chest and finally managed to calm down his breath.

"Why are you so excited? After looking around, there are quite a few people who have a crush on you."

Adam casually clicked on two more witches, which made Eugene's eyes twitch hard.

"Don't you want to think about this so early? Okay, okay, I'll go to the corner and listen to your meeting."

Adam picked up a cup of tea and sat down in the corner. He took a sip and was silent for two seconds. He wondered how many tea leaves had been put in the teapot to make the tea so astringent, and then changed the tea into milk tea.

"Well~this is what people drink."

Eugene couldn't help but wonder to what extent Adam's "slight adjustment" was adjusted to make so many people turn a blind eye to what he did and said.

However, the meeting that was about to start made it impossible for Eugene to think more:

"Time is tight, so I won't say much. Let's go straight to the first topic - the Ministry of Magic's previous definition of biological classification needs to be redefined."

After Eugene finished speaking, many people in the conference room raised their hands.

"Speak one by one, starting with you."

Eugene pointed to the first person who raised his hand on his left.

"Mr. Minister, we can understand your idea of ​​raising this issue at this meeting. You probably want to say that some magical animals that we now classify as 'people' have not assumed the corresponding responsibilities."

The man waved the documents in his hand, which contained records of this cleanup operation and previous arrests of Voldemort's dark creatures.

"But I have to remind you that it is very difficult to make a racial presumption of guilt for these highly intelligent creatures."

The Ministry of Magic defines "human" as "a creature that has enough intelligence to understand the laws of the magical society and bears some of the responsibilities in the process of formulating these laws."

The condition for classifying a magical animal as a "beast" is to prove that the creature has no ability to overcome its brutal nature at the racial level.

As for how to prove it...inquiry + test, on the one hand, ask the other party's subjective will, and on the other hand, see if the other party can restrain the desire to prey on humans by themselves.

The Ministry of Magic's previous method was so simple and crude, and there was no other way to convince everyone.

Since the Ministry of Magic has completely different attitudes and methods towards "humans" and "beasts", most magical animals with sufficient intelligence will naturally want to be classified as "humans" so that they can restrain their desire to eat humans during the test.

As for normal times...of course it depends on the situation.
