What? "Aginbad did not react to the question.
"President Aginbad, I mean, what specific law did the British magic community violate in this meeting?" Allen looked up at Aginbad indifferently. "The baseless accusations against Harris TV station and the punishment given by the Ministry of Magic have nothing to do with the Order of the Phoenix incident. What I want to ask is, by publishing the book 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,' which specific law did the British violate in the International Sorcerer's Secret Act?"
"The central idea of the Secret Act is that every magic government is responsible for concealing the existence of the magic community in their country. In addition, they also need to control the magical animals in their country, prevent minors from publicly displaying magic, and ensure that people who engage in magic sports do not risk being discovered by the Muggle, "the feathered wizard answered the question.
"You British people have written everything about the magic community in the book, and you still have the nerve to ask us?"
"Even the spell was written in the book. If the Muggle —"
"If the Muggle chanted the spell, what kind of magic would he release?" Allen interrupted Aginbad. He looked directly at the president of the Union. "I have to remind everyone of the fact that this so-called violation of the International Secret Act and exposure of the existence of the magic community did not actually happen. This book did not let any Muggle know or think that the existence of the magic community is real, so it's not really exposed. In fact, as I just described, this can help us in the future, if there are any incidents of exposure, we can use the excuse that this is a group of fans of the book to help us continue to hide our whereabouts, right?"
"You're playing with words!"
"Scoundrel!"
Below the stage, some wizards, including High Priest Kuslapali and Obalonsk, roared angrily. Aginbad had already realized Allen's intention, but he could not find any words to refute him. Most of the laws in the wizarding world were ambiguous.
"So far, the magic community has not really been exposed." Babajid tugged at his green Kanga helplessly and said dryly, "But the International Federation of Wizards has never received any explanation or report from the United Kingdom in this regard. That's why we're worried that your country's actions will expose the existence of the magic world."
Allen was not moved by the abuse. "So, President Aginbad, or any other committee member who can explain for the president, this meeting was caused by the violation of some specific terms by the British magic community?"
Obalonsk roared in dissatisfaction, "It's against the rules for wizards to do business in the Muggle Realm!"
"As long as the local Ministry of Magic approves and confirms that no magical items are allowed to enter the Muggle World, this is not a violation." Madam Maxim added, "Many wizards with Muggle backgrounds have returned to the Muggle World to work, so those who are only literate are obviously not included."
Aginbad had failed to make things difficult for Allen in this meeting. Instead, Allen had found a loophole and forced him to be speechless. If it was a weak country, it would have been fine. However, Aginbad felt deeply embarrassed, and his tanned skin turned a little pale. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at his wand with a gloomy face, and said in a muffled voice, "Members, since the misunderstanding has been cleared, this meeting is over. Dismissed."
The door of the British branch of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards of the Department of International Magic Cooperation was opened. The committee members knew that they could not go against the rules, so they stood up and wanted to leave the venue.
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
To everyone's surprise, the door that was just opened was locked with a bang.
The representatives looked at Allen Harris who had just stopped them in shock.
Allen slowly adjusted his cloak and said, "So, President Aginbad, the British magic community did not violate the Secret Law, right?"
"I've already dismissed the meeting. What else do you want?" Aginbad, who had not left his seat, sounded a little sharp and stiff.
"During this period of time, the various public opinions caused by this have damaged the reputation of the British magic community … But now it has been proven that this book did not violate the Secret Law. Let's not talk about whether it will help to protect the Secret Law …" Allen ran his hand back through his neatly combed hair and said, "So now it means that the publication of this book is not the text of a magical creation, but the internal affairs of the British magic community, right? Then, under your leadership, the International Sorcerer's Union has escalated this matter to the point of having a meeting to discuss sanctions without even knowing the truth of the matter … Now, the President and the representatives of the Ministry of Magic who were slandering the British Ministry of Magic just now, after doing all this, you want to just pat your butts and walk away? "
Allen's indifferent gaze swept across the few representatives who had just spoken and stopped them from scolding.
"The British have always been committed to protecting the Secret Law. I defeated the mixed-blood black wizard who called himself Lord Voldemort twice. The British Ministry of Magic also expelled his subordinates, the Death Eaters. Now, the situation in the magic community outside of the United Kingdom is chaotic. The corresponding Ministry of Magic is unable to control the situation in their own country." Allen looked directly at Aginbad and retorted with a sharp tone. "But these governments that failed to protect their own wizard people have repeatedly pushed the blame to the British. Mr. President, you seem to turn a blind eye to these major events … But you put your mind on such a small matter as the British publishing a book."
Obalansk, who had taken the criticism to heart, was a little angry and said, "I didn't cause these disturbances, it's the British! The mysterious man himself is also a British wizard! "
Aginbad did not expect Allen to accuse him now. His face was as calm as water as he stared at Allen gloomily. "As the Bulgarian member said, these disturbances are not caused by other countries. We are the victims … And even if we don't mention the incident, the civil organization Order of the Phoenix in your country had a meaningless fight with the mysterious man some time ago, which caused a large number of Muggle casualties and almost exposed the magic community. It's a fact that the British magic community has repeatedly carried out such actions, so we can't help but worry …"
"There are also a large number of Death Eaters who come from other countries. There was even a German who wanted to directly break the Secret Law, Grindelwald. May I ask how the current situation can be blamed on these countries?" Allen glanced at the crowd. "Obviously, the origin of a criminal does not represent the attitude of the country behind him."
Seeing that Allen even mentioned Grindelwald, many people felt that Allen's words were somewhat shameless. Heinrich Telemann could not help but roar, "You used to be Grindelwald's followers, but now you're …"
"The Telemann family used to follow Harris. What are you doing now?" Allen interrupted him and looked at Aginbad. "Since President Aginbad took office, there have been a lot of terrorist attacks by the mysterious man and the dark wizard. The exposure of the mysterious man and the frequent activities of the mysterious man, are these only the matters of the British Ministry of Magic? As mentioned above, these incidents are more common in other European countries. I remember that I personally wrote many warning letters to remind everyone … "
High Priest Kuslapari squeezed out a smile, "Mr. Harris, the purpose of our union members and today's meeting is to stop this phenomenon … Or do you have any way to completely solve it?"
"In fact, just like what I said just now, because of this situation, as a member of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards, I had to send out many warning letters. Of course, I received many as well. I think many countries' representatives feel the same as me, they're troubled by this matter …" Allen looked at the Indian wizard with a teasing gaze, "Everyone, what I want to ask is actually, why is President Aginbad not focusing on helping the countries to deal with the mysterious man, but instead, he's constantly obsessed with crusading against the British Ministry of Magic? This makes me suspect that the president doesn't have the ability to control the International Union of Wizards and Wizards … He can only use this to divert the attention of the countries to avoid the fact that it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the Secret Law under his tenure …"
Although Allen's tone was as gentle as usual, his indifferent expression and the meaning behind it provoked Aginbad even more.
"Allen Harris! You're spouting nonsense! " In a moment of desperation, Aginbad angrily retorted loudly. His two black eyebrows and black forehead were tightly knitted together, making him look like a black panther, "I've always been responsible for the magical world, I've always tried my best to uphold the International Secret Law and punish the countries and individuals who violate the law!"
"Speaking of which, the International Union of Wizards and Wizards has just changed. Members, we can recall that under the leadership of the previous president, Mr. Dumbledore, there weren't so many storms in the magical world as there are now." Allen pretended to be nostalgic and said, "President Aginbad, Mr. Dumbledore was removed from the position of president of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards because of a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding about Mr. Dumbledore has been cleared up, the facts have proven that his warning to the magical world was completely correct … In other words, he didn't neglect his duties as president of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards. He has always been worthy of the title of the world's greatest light wizard, and during his active period, Mr. Albus Dumbledore defeated the first The Dark Lord, Grindelwald, and the entire Wiki in the magical world. He and his Order of the Phoenix fearlessly sacrificed themselves to win the first wizard war started by the second The Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort … But now, many countries that were once indebted to Mr. Dumbledore and the revolutionary Order of the Phoenix of our British wizarding world have completely forgotten their past because of an unintentional mistake. They can't help but describe them as a 'civilian illegal' organization and try to smear them as boors who can't do anything right?"
"Didn't you chase Dumbledore out of the Hogwarts and describe him as the worst headmaster in history? Although the Union didn't reinstate his position as president, it also reinstated his position as the representative of the United Kingdom. Didn't you take that away from him? Now, you still have the nerve to speak up for him? " The veins on Obalansk's forehead throbbed with his anger. He felt that Harris was extremely shameless.
"Don't the representatives of each country often change? This is just a normal change, but just like what I said when I chased Mr. Dumbledore out of the school, he is not responsible for education, but he spends all his time fighting evil. This is not a conflict. " Allen nodded to the Bulgarian minister. "Besides, Madam Ravenclaw has personally testified. If you have any dissatisfaction with this, do you want me to send you to her face to face to verify it?"
Obalansk looked like a rooster that had its throat strangled. He wanted to crow, but he couldn't make a sound.
The wizards in the room couldn't help but smile. Harris's attitude towards Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix was much more extreme than theirs. When the Unknowns were causing trouble, it was also this British representative who sent warning letters to all the countries. Now, he was actually using the Order of the Phoenix as an excuse.
Hearing that Allen wanted to send the head of the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic to Madam Ravenclaw, the representative of the American Wizard World, Leonard, sneered. He felt like he saw the Muggle government in his country who liked to use their power to cause trouble in the Muggle World.
"Mr. Harris … If you have any ideas and requests, please say it." Madam Maxim saw that the meeting had turned into a farce and felt that it was harmful to the honor and reputation of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards, so she urged.
