HP Approaches the Magic World

Joanne returned to the villa before evening, and at that time Jon was observing the situation in the house opposite.

"How's it going? Did you find anything new?"

Joanne came over, patted Jon on the shoulder, and handed him a bottle of Coke.

Her height is not short, only 1.7 meters tall, but Jon's height has been increasing recently, and he is almost taller than Joanne.

It's just that Jon is young, and this can be seen.

"Still the same as before, I didn't see Harry Potter at all. By the way, this is the annotation content that I modified for you. Take a look."

"We'll see you later. It's too late. Let's have something to drink first."

Jon nodded, took a sip of Coke, and then sat back down.

"Speaking of which, isn't what they are doing considered abuse? Locking people up is not a minor crime under the laws of Muggle society, right?"

"There is no way to deal with this kind of thing, because Harry can only find relatives from the Dursley family at present. When he is not yet an adult, if his aunt Mrs. Dursley does not agree to his leaving, there is no way for him to live there.

Went to the orphanage."

Joanne took a sip of Coca-Cola and looked at the telescope lens from the seat given by Jon. The family of three opposite was indeed enjoying themselves.

"I guess this matter has never been spread, right? But no one cares about it, right?"

"You're right. I've inquired with the nearby Muggle residents. In fact, everyone has known for a long time that the Dursleys adopted a relative's child, but no one has ever seen the abuse you mentioned with their own eyes. No matter what the family does collectively.

, they all take Harry with them. To say that Mr. Dursley does have a bad temper, but he only scolds a few words outside, and there is absolutely no abuse. In addition, when Harry was in school, his reputation was not good.

Not very good, tell me, in this case, which side will the nearby residents take?"

"Of course it's the Dursleys. If it were me, if I didn't know the causes and consequences, I would be biased towards the Dursleys."

It's just that Jon is not the person he said, and there are even few people who know Harry Potter's childhood life better than him.

It's not that he sympathizes with Harry Potter's life. There are lives that are more unbearable than this life. At least half of the people in the world live worse lives than Harry Potter.

What's there to sympathize with?

As a savior, or an apparent savior, it is understandable that there must be some sad experiences to set off the protagonist's character.

"But don't you care about the wizards who protect Harry Potter nearby?"

Joanne shook her head, looking at Jon with eyes full of pity for the young man.

"Please don't look at me like that, okay? It makes me very stressed. If you have any questions, please just ask me."

"Okay, then I'll tell you straight."

Joanne sighed: "Your idea is too idealistic... Of course, I don't blame you. You wizards are actually like this. I know many wizards who are like this... But the Muggle world is better than what you think.

It's much more complicated. The interference of wizards in the Muggle world is actually very weak. Neither wizards nor we have the ability to interfere with the Dursley family's family affairs."

To put it simply, no matter from the perspective of the Muggle world or the wizarding world, due to the restrictions of the Secrecy Act, the wizards who protect Harry Potter in the surroundings have no reason to approach Harry Potter at home.

Besides, Harry will enroll in Hogwarts in the end anyway, as long as he is safe.

"And I asked my colleagues in the Archives Department to check that all the houses around the Dursleys' house belong to a person named Scarlet Barnold, who is an ordinary rich Muggle.

But his family background is not ordinary."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Jon's eyes returned to the telescope lens, but the ability to focus on two tasks was not difficult for him. He still had this level of information processing ability.

"Then I'll make a long story short." Joanne took out her small notebook: "Scarlet Barnold is the current head of the Barnold family. The Barnold family is not a big one in the UK, but it is not a small one either.

’s industry can be regarded as a relatively high-end wealthy family.

And it is worth mentioning that the Barnold family is a very special witch family. Their family has a very peculiar bloodline. Often the witches can achieve very impressive achievements, but the men are mediocre and even many are dumb. This

This strange relationship has led to the current situation. The Barnold wizarding family is the backing of the Muggle family, and Millicent Barnold, the previous Minister of Magic, happens to be Scarint's aunt."

Jon naturally knows this Millicent Barnold. This witch is one of the most powerful ministers among the previous ministers of the Ministry of Magic. She took office the second year after Jon was born, and she showed her power in the same year.

of courage.

In the day and night after Harry Potter escaped Voldemort's attack and defeated him, the "International Statute of Secrecy" was violated countless times by excited British wizards, and she had to accept the inquiry of the International Federation of Wizards.

It was during this inquiry that she performed extremely well and said, "I defend our inalienable right to celebrate." As a result, she won the cheers of everyone present and gained absolute control over the British wizarding world for the next ten years.

.

This is a very strong female politician, and Jon very much identifies with that.

"So, all the wizards protecting Harry Potter here appeared under Millicent's instructions?"

"It should be like this, but my friend told me that within half a year after the new minister Fudge took office, he has been reducing the number of wizards stationed here, which is why the number of wizards here is so small now."

Jon thought for a while, and then completely gave up his observation of the Dursleys: "It should not be Fudge's decision to take the initiative. He is not a reckless person. This minister lacks courage and is too steady. He has to consult Dumbledore for everything.

It is impossible to so hastily remove the personnel who protect the legendary figure Harry Potter. Moreover, although Millicent has retired, her influence on the Ministry of Magic is still there, unless it is Professor Dumbledore's suggestion.

, otherwise the protection here will never be relaxed like this."

"But why is this?"

Joanne asked confused.

"It's not a big deal anyway, but why?

I'm afraid only our Headmaster Dumbledore himself knows that."
