Please forgive me … "A well-dressed wizard comforted Obalonsk who wanted to refute. He stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to everyone. He wore a cloak with a standing collar that looked like a military coat on top of his wizard robe. The bow tie was neatly tied in the middle of his neck. The beard on his face was neatly trimmed, giving him a somewhat old-fashioned demeanor and temperament.
"I'm Heinrich Telman, the representative of the German Ministry of Magic. First of all, I'd like to thank the Union for seeking our opinion on the content of the meeting and giving us the opportunity to put forward our views." The bearded wizard from Germany bowed slightly to Allen again. "Mr. Allen Harris, the situation of the magic world being exposed is very serious now … The international situation is not peaceful. The source of all this is the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters who caused all this came from the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom can't completely solve this problem, which caused all kinds of turmoil in other countries in Europe.
The problems exposed by the United Kingdom are becoming more and more prominent. Please don't blindly do meaningless things and shift the responsibility to others. In fact, since the former Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom, Connelly Fudge, stepped down, the International Union of Wizards and Wizards has repeatedly tolerated the problems caused by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Magic's jurisdiction …
From the return of the Mysterious Man, to the Mysterious Man and his subordinates wreaking havoc in the world of magic and Muggle, to the Muggle program broadcast by Harris TV that made the entire magic world nervous, and to the teaching of black magic and dangerous curses to minors without reporting to the International Union of Wizards and Wizards' Department of Education … Finally, there was the recent dangerous Order of the Phoenix that almost exposed the magic world …
However, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Magic didn't seem to be satisfied with this and kept testing the bottom line of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards. Now, they're directly writing a book about our magic world and publishing it in the Muggle world …
Even if what Mr. Harris said was true, the British Ministry of Magic has many reasons to publish the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, but the British should inform the International Union of Wizards and Wizards in advance and discuss the feasibility of the book before taking action. This is the basic respect they have for us...
Regrettably, as always, we see England carrying out all sorts of dangerous operations on its own, willful and reckless, so much so that both Muggle society and the world of magic are filled with all sorts of avoidable chaos and turbulence.
Therefore, I propose that we, the International Union of Wizards and Wizards, cannot make any more concessions. We should impose sanctions on the United Kingdom. I personally suggest that the International Union of Wizards and Wizards should send a representative to form a supervisory body to be stationed in the United Kingdom. This way, we can intervene in the unreasonable and illegal actions of the United Kingdom and work together to build a lasting and stable peace for the international community.
I think if this resolution is passed, it will help to ease the tense international situation and promote the peaceful development of the world of magic. "
As soon as Heinrich Telemann finished speaking, many representatives at the meeting began to stand up and applaud to show their support. Led by this group of people, more and more representatives began to stand up when they saw that the British did not say anything for the time being. All of them, including the one who proposed the resolution, Heinrich Telemann, of course, knew that the British would not agree to it. This was just a way to make the British more acceptable by asking for a sky-high price. The British had become more and more powerful under the leadership of Harris in recent years, which was something that no other country wanted to see.
Babagid Aginbad frowned, but he was not happy. As the president of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards, he was well aware of the importance of the United Kingdom and their current strength. Just like when he first took office, he had no intention of targeting the British Ministry of Magic. His purpose of holding this meeting was more to let the British respect him as the new president and the Union, so that the British would put away their inexplicable hostility toward him.
"Please be quiet …" Babagid pressed his hands to silence the room. "Mr. Harris? Is there anything you want to add? "
"Mr. Telemann, as you just said …" Allen let his calm voice ring in everyone's ears, "Does the German Ministry of Magic want to interfere with the internal affairs of the British magic community? You proposed to let you enter the United Kingdom … Can I understand that the countries that agree with this view and want to participate are declaring war on the British magic community? "
There was a series of gasps in the meeting room.
"What?! When did I … "The German wizard's nostrils were wide open. He thought that under the pressure of most members of the Union, Harris would definitely make some concessions, but he did not expect him to be so unruly." The German Ministry of Magic has no such intention … It's just that the current situation in the United Kingdom … "
Seeing that he stopped talking, Allen did not intend to let him go and asked, "What's the current situation in the United Kingdom?"
Heinrich's tightly clenched fingers loosened under Allen's gaze. As the German magic community that suffered the most in the war started by the first The Dark Lord, even if he knew that Allen's threat of war was fake, he could not take the risk. However, Allen's question forced him to admit defeat. "Mr. Harris, this is just a suggestion … If the United Kingdom Ministry of Magic thinks that they can handle these problems …"
Allen sneered, "So you're giving in so quickly? The Telemann family is still as spineless as before … There are so many great wizards in the German magic community, and now they've become like this? "
"You!" Heinrich Telemann did not expect that he would be humiliated further in exchange for his concession. This made Heinrich Telemann so angry that his face turned red.
"Who do you think the Telemann family is? How dare you make a fuss in front of me!!!" Alan scolded harshly. "In the past, when our Harris Family was still in Germany, your family was like a beggar, sucking up to us and begging for some leftovers … Taking advantage of the Harris Family's evacuation, your grandfather used the Soul Seizing Curse to escape his crime and then embezzled some of our property to make a fortune … Now, you actually have the face to put on airs in front of me and stir up trouble? Who do you think you are? "
"Please stay calm, don't quarrel in the meeting …" Babagid's eyebrows almost jumped into his hair. He only wanted to embarrass the United Kingdom in the meeting and pass a resolution to punish the United Kingdom appropriately. He did not intend to make a big deal out of it.
"Family Harris used to be Grindelwald's followers in Germany! I now have reason to suspect that Family Harris is trying to follow Grindelwald's path and break the International Confidentiality Act! It seems that we need to raise our awareness of how dangerous Family Harris is. They are not only loyal followers of Grindelwald, but also completely disobey the law and rules. They use force to force others to submit to them. " The Bulgarian Ministry of Magic's Minister Obalonsk stood up. "But we will not be threatened by you, Allen Harris. Don't think that we will be afraid of you just because you defeated the mysterious man! If you want to start a war, then come. Bulgaria took the lead in fighting Grindelwald back then, and we can do the same now! No matter how powerful the United Kingdom is, it may not be able to fight against the entire magic world! "
"Now you are finally willing to mention that I defeated Lord Voldemort? Also, Bulgaria took the lead in fighting Grindelwald?! " Allen snorted. "As everyone knows, it was Britain's Albus Dumbledore who defeated Grindelwald in a duel and stopped his wanton behavior. Bulgaria was just a country saved by the United Kingdom back then, and now you have the nerve to claim that you are the leader? Now you are using my family's behavior, which has already been punished, to judge our efforts to maintain the confidentiality law in the United Kingdom? Then, the Telman family and all of you here, including the Bulgarian magic world, were tempted to make the same choice as Family Harris during the catastrophe. So, Minister of the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic, do you think that they are trying to break the confidentiality law now?! "
The scene began to become chaotic, and the representatives of the magic world led by the pureblood continued to protest with Obalonsk.
"Quiet! Quiet! " Babagid slammed the table in vain, but in this situation, it seemed that not many people were willing to listen to the orders of a minister who was not from a powerful country in the magic world. He felt that not only did he not achieve his original goal, but he also lost more face.
"Quiet!" Madam Maxim stood up, and her tall figure and loud voice helped a little. "Minister Obalonsk, the French magic world recognizes the efforts of the Bulgarian magic world in fighting against Grindelwald … Mr. Harris, please calm down. As one of the victims, the French magic world clearly recognizes the key role played by Mr. Albus Dumbledore of the British magic world in this matter … This is not something that can be ignored …"
"Members, please calm down. The matter we are discussing today is only about the publication of the book 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' in the United Kingdom …" Babagid wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the mixed-blood giantess gratefully. Things had developed beyond Aginbad's expectations. Harris was currently relying on the strength of the British magic world and his personal strength to act domineeringly without fear of triggering a war. He had provoked and angered many countries, which made Babagid panic. No matter how small the possibility was, if a war broke out between the United Kingdom and some other countries because of this conference, he would have to bear the responsibility as the president who initiated this conference.
The Bulgarian minister snorted and sat down resentfully. Allen looked at Babagid indifferently as if he was watching a joke. The smile on his face became more and more disdainful.
Seeing Allen's look, Aginbad forcibly suppressed his anger, and the veins on his clenched fists were visible. He said stiffly, "We should discuss things together, and not judge the right to speak based on the strength of a country … Everything should be judged based on right and wrong. Since the international situation is turbulent, we should coexist peacefully and treat each other as equals … This is the original intention of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards …"
"Then about the conference itself, President Aginbad … I have a question about today's conference itself." Allen's light voice sounded again.
