"...Kingsley, take this with you. It's up to you to decide whether I need to appear at the meeting. In other words...if the vote never passes, you can smash it into pieces."

At the door of the Minister's Office on the top floor of the Ministry of Magic, Maca placed a small stone slab engraved with runic symbols into Kingsley's hand and gently shook his hand.

"Of course, it probably won't be easy for you to follow Mr. Akinbad this time. Professor Dumbledore once mentioned sporadically before that although some of the members of the Federation are very good, some of them are more or less annoying.

There is a guy... Oh, of course Professor Dumbledore's original words cannot be so straightforward, the last sentence... you know, it is my own understanding."

"Well," Kingsley nodded and smiled when he heard this, "Actually, judging from what you just said, it seems that this trip basically has nothing to do with me. I just went over to show my face to avoid the British

The representative’s seat is just empty…”

Saying this, he couldn't help but shrugged and said:

"So all in all, I just need to be as low-key as possible. Don't worry, I'm best at this!"

"yes!"

After Maka heard this, she couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Of course I can rest assured that you are doing something, I just mentioned it in passing... Go down! Mr. Ajinbad is waiting below, because it will take time to convene the parliamentarians from various countries, so you have to leave now."

"Okay, then..." Kingsley pointed to the door of the office next to him, "As for Mr. Scrimgeour's next arrangements, I'll leave it to you, Maka, to decide."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Watching Kingsley casually take out the wand and touch it on himself, the original Auror attire designed for the convenience of fighting immediately turned into a wizard robe that was only worn when conducting official duties. After that, he took out another hat and put it on his body.

With a button on his bald head, he hurried downstairs.

Maka watched him leave, then turned around and was about to open the door of the minister's office. But at this moment, he turned his head in a certain direction as if he suddenly felt something.

"Click."

He suddenly stretched out his hand to unscrew the doorknob, leaned half of his body in, and said to Scrimgeour, who was sitting on the sofa for rest in a daze:

"If you are still willing to stay and work in the Ministry of Magic, then go to the Department of Transportation or the Department of Sports! There is no problem in being a deputy director or something, and at least until this disaster is over, you will be quite relaxed. And

If you don’t want to work at all, then find a house in Spiral Town to live in and rest! I heard that you have been so busy these days that you didn’t even have time to find a place to live, so thank you for your hard work... Well, let’s do this for now!”

After saying this for a while, Maka didn't even change her tone, and she spoke so fast that Scrimgeour couldn't even get a word in. When she finished what she should say, Maka nodded, and then the door opened again: "

It closed with a bang.

However, even though Maka's attitude seemed not to be very good due to her rush, Scrimgeour did not feel the least bit unhappy.

And not only was he not unhappy, but when he heard that he could leave the Ministry of Magic directly, his always tense face relaxed instantly.

"Of course, of course!" Looking at the already closed office door, Scrimgeour let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'll leave now!"

…

The long-term bad situation has forced many people to tighten their nerves. Therefore, Scrimgeour is definitely not the only one who will suffer from stress and mental breakdown.

After all, there are definitely not many people with strong ability to withstand stress like Maka and Lupin.

However, even if their spirits are not mentally disturbed or even collapsed, the heavy burden and one big or small thing one after another still make them feel physically and mentally exhausted.

For example, Lupine, when Maca and Akinbad were talking in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, he was also looking through many documents at the sand table in the town not far away.

But he no longer had the energy to listen to what Maka and Ajinbad said specifically.

After integrating and sorting out the new batch of secret messages and various information coming from various quarters, he rubbed his swollen temples and was slightly surprised to find the person who was with President Ajinbad.

, I don’t know when it was replaced by Kingsley.

Of course, Lupine still knew what Maka asked Akinbad to do.

"Are you going there now?"

Hearing Lupine's slightly tired questioning voice suddenly sounded behind him, Kingsley immediately turned around and nodded at the other party.

"Yes!" he said, "I saw that you were still busy just now, so I didn't bother you... Maka said that summoning the members will take time, so we'd better go early."

"Well, be careful!"

Lupine said goodbye to the two of them and watched each other leave. Then the eyes that looked at the backs of Kingsley and the others were obviously a little more solemn.

No matter how difficult it is for them to face Herbo, the magic world's disclosure to the Muggle world will be a major event that people have to think deeply about.

"Alas...this world is in complete chaos!"

"It's not like we haven't messed up before, right?"

Suddenly, Maka's voice suddenly came from behind, making Lupine startled for a moment.

"In short," Maka said casually as she passed by him, "Human life cannot be ignored, whether it is a wizard or a Muggle... So although some things may sound a bit sensational, when the time comes, they must be done.

Did it.”

While talking, Maka had already passed by Lupin's desk and headed straight to the door that Kingsley and Akinbard had just left.

"Maka!" When Lupine saw him, he quickly raised his voice and asked, "Where are you going?"

"There should be news from the Change... I just felt Professor Sprout's magic power. It was probably blocked from the town by a large amount of protective magic."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maka disappeared.

"Change...is that where the study tour team is?" Lu Ping frowned slightly, as if he was a little worried, "Isn't it because something happened over there...No, no, it shouldn't be."

He was secretly wondering what news Sprout had sent, but before Maka came back, a different figure appeared at the door.

"Miss Lovegood?"

"Oh, Lupin! You are indeed here...um, is Maka here? I heard that he hasn't eaten well in the past two days, so I made some dessert for him."

Luna said as she walked in carrying a large meal basket. When she reached Lupine, she put the basket down on a chair with a bang.

To be honest, listening to that sound, it's definitely not that light!

"He just went out and will be back soon."

"Oh, why don't you try it first! I've made a lot of it!"

Lu Ping has been immersed in all kinds of stressful information recently, and when he suddenly saw Luna with a cheerful face, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Okay! Then I'm welcome."

With that said, he walked around the desk and came to Luna, reached out and took out a muffin from the meal basket and stuffed it into his mouth.
