Hogwarts Homecoming

Different from the open, free and dynamic atmosphere of American No-Maj society, the degree of closure and isolation between the American wizarding world and No-Maj society is among the highest among many magical civilizations in the world. The Wizarding Secrecy Act has been further strengthened here. Strict implementation.

Because of some famous historical events, such as:

The Salem Witch Trials in the seventeenth century, the Swallow-tailed Dogs bred by Harkaway in the eighteenth century attacked No-Majs, the witch Dorcas Twelvetrees leaked the magical world to her Muggle lover at the end of the eighteenth century, ten The Bigfoot chaos of the 9th century and the mayhem caused by Grindelwald and Newt Scamander and his adorable critters in the 1920s.

For a long time, MACUSA did not even allow No-Maj wizards to reveal the existence of the wizarding world to their close relatives, and this law was not repealed until the middle of this century.

It is precisely because of these incidents that have caused widespread and serious impact that the Magical Congress of the United States of America has introduced laws. Any wizard who appears in this country, whether a resident or a tourist, needs to carry a wand license and use it to track In all magical activities, the perpetrator is identified through the wand.

This provision does not exist in any magical civilization outside the United States.

But the famous Wand Licensing Office, which is disgusted by foreign tourists and even local residents, has not received much attention within MACUSA.

Although they share the Woolworth Building with No-Majs, the space belonging to wizards is more than twice as large as that of No-Majs. Among hundreds of floors of affluent space, the wand licensing office is actually placed in a room where contraband is stored. In the warehouse, every time someone comes here to do something, they have to lower their heads and walk through the high and low metal stairs, and be careful about the overcrowded shelves. Are there any dangers in the boxes with the words "No Touching" on them? Come up with something interesting for you to take a bite of.

Moreover, there are not many employees in this department. One office director is concurrently held by other department directors, and two employees ensure that someone can work the night shift.

Amelia stood in the dimly lit and chaotic wand licensing office holding the box that kept Amosta's two wands. Her eyes fell on the man lying on the desk sleeping soundly. In fact, it was not too late now, but it was his turn. The unfortunate ghost on duty this month has already fallen asleep early.

There was hesitation in Amelia's eyes, not sure whether to wake her up or not. This colleague must know that no one likes to work in such a deserted and boring department. Therefore, generally only people who have made mistakes will be arranged to either do it or get out, that's it.

Her mood will be very bad, and so will her temper. Amelia thinks that if she is thrown into this department, she will probably be like this. However, she can't stand here all night. She has to go to the security department later. department.

After wandering her eyes around the small space for a while, Amelia put a cardboard box on top of a shelf, which seemed to have a bunch of documents stuffed inside.

Pursing her lips, Amelia pulled out the wand from her pocket and pointed at the shelf gently. The heavy shelf immediately shook slightly, and then——

boom!

Accompanied by the heavy sound of the ground and the diffuse smoke, the guy with his legs on the desk and snoring immediately opened his eyes and jumped up from the chair.

"What's wrong?"

The bloodshot gray eyes were sleepy, but their gaze was wandering everywhere.

"Those damn dangerous creatures are missing again?"

"Chago?" Amelia said softly with a hint of apology in her brown eyes.

"Amelia, you came to report to me. Tell me, what else was lost? The poison horned beast or the Chimera. Don't tell those five-legged monsters that they are missing. My heart can't bear this! "

The guy with messy pale blond hair said with a frantic look on his face. He seemed to have fallen asleep and hadn't figured out where he was now.

This scene was quite interesting. Amelia tilted her lips and said to the panting Chago,

"This has nothing to do with you anymore, does it, Chago?"

"no problem?!"

Chago asked in surprise. Then, he finally noticed where he was now, and the bloodshot eyes quickly dissipated.

"Yeah, it's okay!"

Chago called out lightly, wiped his face vigorously with both hands, and made a purring sound.

"Sorry, I was confused. Oh, you reminded me that these troubles have left me. To be honest, if you think about it, it's a good choice for me to come here!"

Chago shuddered and became more awake. He noticed the cardboard boxes and scattered documents that had fallen on the ground. He impatiently pulled out his wand and waved it. He didn't care about what was going on, but his eyes fell. On Amelia, he saw that she was holding a wooden box.

"What's the matter with this box before you get off work? You sent the contraband that your office found from those stupid tourists to the wrong place, didn't you? I'm in charge of the wand here!"

"In the box is the wand."

Amelia lowered her head and glanced at the box in her arms, her tone slightly aggravated,

"The Department of Security does not allow Mr. Amosta Brain to bring a wand after entering the country. They do not allow him to issue a wand license. So, I brought his wand. Chago, I need you to keep Mr. Brain's." Wand, then write me the receipt certificate, I need to take the certificate to the security department.”

"Oh, poor Amosta Blaine, how did he end up with those bastards in Security?"

Chago curled his lips. He took the box handed over by Amelia and threw it on the table carelessly (this move made Amelia's eyes flash with dissatisfaction). Then, he opened the drawer and prepared to write a certificate, but he As soon as I picked up the parchment, my movements suddenly froze, and I looked at Amelia confused and helpless.

"Amosta Brain?" Chago blinked hard, "Which Amosta Brain are you talking about?"

"Oh——" Amelia spoke faster. She still had a lot of places to run tonight, "It's, um, the International Federation of Wizards."

Wow!

As soon as Amelia raised her head, Chago jumped up. He scratched his messy hair several times, his eyes widening as big as before.

"You're talking about Amosta Blaine! The Ministry of Security wants to seize his wand. Oh, is Graves crazy? He thinks that his family has power in the Congress and can dominate the world. He wants to seize Amosta." ·Brain's Wand Oh, God, Chairman Kohaug...oh, he's not here."

Chago lowered his head and looked at the box with eyes full of awe, but then, his eyes looking at Amelia were full of confusion.

"Amosta Braine's visit to Congress. Do you understand, Amelia, this is really not a trivial matter. Why is it not reported at all in the newspapers? Isn't it true that the Ghost newspaper does more than follow the boring election and the mysterious disappearances? Don’t animals have anything serious to do?”

"Oh, I think-"

Amelia finally found a chance to speak. She glanced at the acceptance certificate that Chago took out, hoping that Chago would receive the hint, but Chago just looked at her.

"It's because Mr. Brain is not visiting as the vice-president of the International Federation of Wizards or some other capacity. He is handling some matters in a private capacity."

"What is it?" Chago asked enthusiastically.

"That's against the rules, Chago."

Amelia said sternly, before Chago had to say a lot of nonsense again,

"Sorry, Chago, I'm in a hurry, so if you don't mind, prove it."

During the long night, Chago, who had nothing to do, grumbled in disappointment. He picked up the wooden box and tried to stuff it on the shelf behind him, but midway, he suddenly changed his mind and left with the wooden box. Amelia's gaze went into the passage separated by the messy shelves, and did not reappear until a while later.

"Amosta Brain's wand, if it appears on the black market, will definitely be worth more than those magical animals that may have been poached out of the country. I have to be careful. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I will have to pick up Dee. It’s Lun’s class—”

Dylan is the gatekeeper to Congress.

It could be seen that Amelia was anxiously waiting, so Chago did not waste any more time. He hurried back to his seat to issue a certificate for the handover of the items.

"You forgot to write the time--"

Amelia, who stretched her head and stared at this scene, quickly pointed out Chago's omission before he handed the certificate to her.

"Oh, sorry--"

Chago, who made up time after signing the payment, handed the certificate to Amelia, who checked it carefully after taking the note. After finding no problems, she thanked her and prepared to leave.

"Can you ask Mr. Blaine for an autograph for me? My girlfriend loves his fire magic so much!"

Looking at Amelia who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Chago shouted loudly towards the exit passage.
