Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Say goodbye to the ashes of the day, surrounded by the darkness of night, the world will work overtime just as you thought.

At night, there were only aurors and overtime staff in the Ministry of Magic, while the minister's office was still brightly lit.

Scrimgeour, sitting behind his desk, was holding a cup of steaming coffee in one hand and a thick document in the other hand, looking attentively.

Cedric sat across from the desk a little anxiously, fearing that Scrimgeour would reject the plan in the next second that they had spent an afternoon revising and perfecting.

After they completed the "Plan for Safe Access to Ten Thousand Households" (if it changes again, I will join the mysterious man's version), Cedric sent it to the minister's office without even bothering to eat his own dinner.

When the half cup of coffee in front of Cedric had cooled down, Scrimgeour, who had carefully read the plan, placed it on the table, then tapped a blank pile of parchment on the table with his wand, and at the same time Said: "Amelia Bones, Frank Longbottom."

The next moment, the top two pieces of parchment floated up, automatically folded into two paper airplanes in the air, and then flew out of the office door together.

"Take it easy, little Mr. Diggory," Scrimgeour said to Cedric, "and don't let your uneasiness show on your face."

"Okay, Mr. Minister," Cedric replied, "What do you think of this plan?"

Scrimgeour covered the plan with his hand, and tapped his index finger rhythmically on the plan, making a sound of "ta... da... da...".

After a while, Scrimgeour asked: "What do you think, is the plan you have drawn up feasible?"

"I think the feasibility is very high, Your Excellency Minister." Cedric said confidently, "We have fully considered the occurrence of various situations and formulated corresponding plans accordingly."

At this moment, the office door opened, and the first person to walk in was Amelia Bones, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who was walking on crutches, followed by Frank Longbottom, the new Director of the Auror Office.

"Rufus, what's wrong?" Amelia Bones asked.

Scrimgeour handed her the stack of plans on the table, and then said, "This is a very interesting plan made by young people. Take a look."

After Amelia Bones took the stack of plans, she sat on the sofa and read them carefully. Since the plans were not bound, she passed each one to Frank Longbottom beside her.

About an hour later, Bones and Frank finished reading the plan, and then Bones asked Cedric: "Is this alarm command system available now?"

“We installed one in an empty house near the entrance to the phone booth and it’s ready for demonstrations now,” says Cedric.

"Let's go take a look," Scrimgeour said. "Frank, call a few people along."

The area around the entrance to the Ministry of Magic phone booth is deserted, and there are many empty houses on both sides of the street. In one of the houses, Scrimgeour and the staff of the Ministry of Magic saw the alarm command system mentioned in the plan.

The only difference between the two systems is the display. One is a huge screen, and the other is a projector, which projects a map on a white wall in front of it.

Both systems now display maps of the greater London metropolitan area.

Around the table in the corner of the room, Cedric had just finished explaining to everyone how to use the civilian terminal.

Scrimgeour asked several Aurors who were following him: "Do you all know how to use it?"

"Yes."×5

"Very well," Scrimgeour continued, "take them and send some random messages here and there."

Several Aurors took the communication terminal and left.

After a while, a piercing alarm sounded in the room, and at the same time, the location of St. Mungo's Hospital on the map showed a flashing red ①. A few lines of words appeared in the originally blank space on the left side of the map, showing the serial number, time, location and content of this alarm message.

Cedric sat on the table in front of the screen, controlling a wireless mouse to direct a "↖" that was originally in the corner of the screen to move to the position of the message. After double-clicking, the message was enlarged and appeared in the center of the screen. .

Immediately afterwards, the sirens kept sounding, and ②③④⑤ appeared on the map in Diagon Alley, the train station and other places. Then Cedric opened these messages one by one, either text or voice.

Another hour passed, and all five Aurors came back. Each of them sent back about ten messages through Apparition in different places.

This information is now arranged in chronological order on the map coordinates.

Scrimgeour, who remained silent during the whole process, nodded with satisfaction, then patted Cedric on the shoulder and said: "Well done, Mr. Diggory. This set of yours is very practical and can be used Minimize the time when Aurors are dispatched. This can be promoted immediately."

"If I could have informed the Aurors so quickly last year, my legs would not have been injured." Amelia Bones said with emotion.

"I don't have to stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for more than ten years." Frank Longbottom nodded.

Unlike the communication methods used by the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters, their communication methods are only suitable for contact between a small number of people, and this system is more suitable for promotion among the public.

More than ten minutes later, Cedric and the others returned to the minister's office. The first problem in this plan has been solved, but there are still some issues that require further explanation, discussion, and modification. They had to stay up late again tonight.

It was late at night, and people in the Burrow had finished their day's activities. At Mrs. Weasley's urging, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

George untied the rope that tied Fred to the chair, and Fred levitated like one of the ghosts in Hogwarts.

"When will this curse disappear?" Mrs. Weasley asked George and Fred.

"Zhang said that as long as he gets some sleep, the spell will disappear early tomorrow morning." George looked at Fred and said, "It seems that we will have to continue to tie him to the bed with ropes tonight."

At this time, Fred, who was floating in mid-air, imitated Bloody Barrow, making Ginny laugh so hard that she couldn't breathe.

George picked up the rope and tied it around Fred's waist, leading him into the room like a balloon.

"Let's go, Pippi."
