It was now the end of August. The second largest department of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Magical Animals Management and Control, located on the fourth floor of the basement, was bustling with people today. Wizards and reporters surrounded the department with their cameras.
In the middle, two white unicorns twisted their bodies. The white fur on their bodies gradually faded away, and their front legs stood up. However, their movement did not attract much attention, because almost everyone's eyes were fixed on the Amorous Bras in the middle of the field.
Hibiscus Chinensis had transformed from a terrifying bird head with a sharp beak and a pair of scale-covered wings on her shoulders back to her human form. Although her appearance did not change much except for her hair that fluttered behind her head even though there was no wind, her Amorous Bras' ability to make people obsessed and crazy seemed to have improved and strengthened after she came into contact with Animagus. Some people had already started doing crazy things, such as smashing their own cameras or looking directly at Owen and Emily of the Harris Family.
The reason why they were crazy was because the father and daughter were now two dazzling green snake monsters, one big and one small. The big snake had a bright red feather on its head, and their venomous fangs were thin and long like swords. Feeling the noisy atmosphere around them, the two snake monsters straightened their bodies and climbed up, slowly returning to their human forms. After returning to their human forms, Emily and Owen opened their eyes, but the onlooking wizards still did not dare to look directly at them.
Blinding flashes were constantly flashing, and the reporters frantically pressed their shutters. Their cameras spewed out purple smoke, and the smoke floated in the air. They recorded the scene in front of them one by one.
"Director Harris, does this mean that … the Harry Family has completely mastered the method of transforming into Magical Animagus?" A small wizard jumped up and down, raising his hand and asking.
"Will the Family Harris announce the method of transforming into Magical Animagus to the public this time?" An old wizard with thick glasses asked nervously. "Principal Allen Harris didn't announce it because he said it was a family secret. However, he later said that he wanted to reform the education system so that everyone would be educated without discrimination … I wonder if he changed his mind?" The old reporter seemed to be worried that his tone would cause a misunderstanding, so he added, "In that case, I don't think we need to wait for Principal Harris to announce it. We can give him the Most Promising Newcomer Award in 'Transmogrification Today' …"
Owen recognized the old reporter as the Keeper of 'Transmogrification Today', who had asked similar questions when Allen came back from ancient times. Knowing that the old man was just a bookworm, Owen replied in a good-natured manner, "Thank you for your question. Family Harris has mastered the method of transforming Magical Animagus. In fact, as everyone knows, when Allen transformed his Phoenix, he had already mastered the basic method of transforming Magical Animagus … However …" Owen's voice grew heavier as he emphasized, "Compared to the usual method of transforming ordinary Animagus, there are too many details that need to be adjusted according to the spellcaster's needs. Moreover, as wizards know in the past, failure can lead to unpredictable and terrible consequences … So … it wasn't until a long time after Allen that we were ready to transform into Animagus … After careful consideration, we decided that this method is too dangerous and too personal to be made public."
Hearing Owen's words, there was a commotion at the scene. The old keeper had already let out a sigh, and some of the anti-Harris media began to think of the news content, preparing to describe Allen, who had previously tried to reform education, as a hypocritical politician.
Owen knew what the reporters were thinking just by looking at their expressions. He laughed and changed the topic, "However, my son is not present. As the headmaster of Hogwarts and an elector of Ravenclaw, as well as the disseminator of education reform, he will place this dangerous but profound knowledge in the Temple of Ravenclaw. He has also promised to select excellent students from Hogwarts University to assist in the transformation …"
"If that's the case, it is indeed a more reliable method of dissemination …" The Keeper of 'Transmogrification Today' approved of Harris's seemingly conservative style. He then asked another question he wanted to ask, "Minister Harris, I noticed that Headmaster Harris promised to help students transform into ordinary Animagus last semester and asked them to prepare during the holidays … Does this mean that Harris will make public a more effective method of transforming ordinary Animagus?"
"Indeed." Owen nodded in confirmation. "Compared to transforming into magical creatures, the method of transforming into ordinary Animagus is already very mature. We will make it public after school starts. I think 'Transmogrification Today', as a professional media in this field, will be our priority." Owen pointed to Sirius Black, who was wearing the uniform of the Department of Magical Animal Management. "Part of the knowledge of transforming ordinary creatures actually comes from the ancient Blake family. Previously, Harry Potter and the Weasley siblings successfully transformed using the Blake family's method. My son used it to complement his achievements in potions to perfect a safer and more effective method. He intends to teach it to ordinary wizards."
Sirius, who was not wearing his uniform properly and looked like a spectator, was leaning against the door frame. He felt very uncomfortable when he was suddenly called out. He was not mentally prepared when he saw the reporters pointing their cameras at him.
"This is a blessing for the Transmogrification academic community … If everyone can successfully transform into an Animagus … Harris' contribution in promoting the development of this discipline is undeniable … I will fight for President Harris for the honor he deserves …" Although he knew that Harris would not easily announce the method of transforming magical creatures, the old wizard of 'Transmogrification Today' was still very excited. If the method of transforming ordinary Animagus was published in their magazine, he judged that it would at least leave their name in the history of magic.
Owen and 'Transmogrification Today' made the opposing wizard reporters unable to use this as a reason to attack. However, they did not easily give up on blaming Owen. A sharp voice jumped out, "Minister Owen Harris, until now, you and Allen Harris have bypassed the Ministry of Magic's collective discussion and announced Britain's withdrawal at the International Union of Wizards and Wizards without authorization. You still haven't given us, the ordinary wizards of Britain, an explanation."
The one who raised the question was Dempster Wiggleswald. As the mouthpiece of the pure-blood families, he had raised very sharp questions in Harris' press statements in an attempt to attack Harris in terms of public opinion. He had not achieved any results in this aspect so he was a little anxious. He wanted to make some achievements in front of his investors.
However, as soon as Wigsward's voice fell, some of the young wizards of the Ministry of Magic and some of the young reporters began to refute him. Some of the hot-blooded hotheads even shouted their support for the British Ministry of Magic's performance in this conference.
"Britain's matter this time is very satisfying. Why should they sanction Britain?"
"We have to be tough and let those who want to bully us get out of Britain."
"This is the momentum that Britain should have! Britain is invincible in the world! "
…
These roars caused some of the opposing reporters, who were backed by the pure-blood families, to join in the debate and refute them. Although the young people were hot-blooded and their angry voices were very loud, they could not come up with any good reasons compared to the professionals. Soon, they were a little overwhelmed.
The scene was once again in an uproar, clearly a success.
"In fact, we did not really withdraw from the International Union of Wizards and Wizards. On the contrary, the International Union of Wizards and Wizards apologized to us for their wrong decision." John Bartha stroked his recently trimmed short curly hair, which was the same as his son Victor's. As Owen's aide, he stood up for Owen, who was not in a position to argue. "Mr. Wigsward, I have to remind you that today's interview is about the Animagus. Please do not ask questions that have nothing to do with it."
"The question is not whether Minister Harris's action is wise or not, but whether it is in accordance with the procedures set by the Ministry of Magic … Britain is not a country that easily signs and implements international treaties. These treaties are serious commitments that have come into effect after extensive debate among countless wizard ancestors. The unilateral action taken by the minister does not meet this standard. " The angry voices made Dempster Wiggleswald even more determined. He did not care about John's reminder. Instead, he thought that he had touched on the problem that Owen wanted to avoid. He proudly pointed his finger at Owen and said, "What's more, Minister Harris is risking the entire British magic community being isolated by the international wizard society for unimportant glory. This is a completely unnecessary risk."
"F * ck you!" With a violent roar in a Scottish accent, a middle-aged wizard with thick muscles raised his foot and kicked Dempster Wiggleswald in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Then, without using his wand, he punched Wigsward in the face and sat on his body. When the reporter was still in a daze, he firmly clamped his two slender wrists with one hand and continued to punch his head with the other. "You traitor! Traitor! Do you want Britain to apologize to those countries instead of fighting back when they are treated unfairly?!!! "
