The Hogwarts Academy and Family Harris Castle formed a triangle perpendicular to the boundary between the academy and the primary school. Of all the sights that could be seen in the expansion plans of the Hogwarts Academy, the most impressive one was the oval-shaped open-air plaza surrounded by walls that were at least two hundred and thirty feet high.
It looked like a giant Quidditch football stadium. The inside of the towering walls was like a football stadium, with many shops of different sizes separated by a trapezoidal structure. The closer the shops were to the ground, the larger the area. On the walls outside the walls, there were some buildings that looked like docks suspended high in the air, connected to the doorways.
In the middle of the plaza, there were many awnings. Below them were some empty stalls. Although they looked simpler than the surrounding shops, the scale was so large that the wizards who built the plaza couldn't help but wonder if Allen was planning to get all the wizard families in Britain to send people here to do business.
At this time, there were still some Dementors floating up and down in the air above the mostly completed plaza. On the central axis of the plaza near the Black Lake and Harris Castle and the Hogwarts Academy, there was a huge, majestic building that was mainly dark blue in color and bordered with bronze. It was slightly larger than the average wizard town, and its existence showed the importance of the Goddess of Ravenclaw in the Hogwarts.
Lunn, who had just finished inspecting the construction site, came to the huge southern corridor that was called Ravenclaw Plaza.
Under the garden corridor outside the uppermost room, many large legal books were scattered on the wide stone table. Mr. and Mrs. Krivat were discussing the same problem. In order to perfect the laws of the magic world, the Krivat couple came to live in the wizarding world a few days before their own room was built.
With the help of Lunn, the office of the business district was temporarily transformed into a study room. It could be said that other than the Magic Law Enforcement Department, it was the place with the most complete set of laws in the United Kingdom. For the past few days, as Hermione was busy planning to deal with Gringotts and Alan was playing with mud everywhere, Lunn, who was known as the most capable person, was caught and took the time to monitor the construction site.
"Lunn, you're finally here." Mr. Krivat massaged his temples. "We've read the laws related to economics and Gringotte. There are no loopholes that can be exploited to allow the Ministry of Magic to legally enter Gringotte."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lunn quickly bowed and thanked them. "Most of these laws were written by sprites. These things often launched rebellions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Today, there are still some subversive groups of sprites who oppose the rule of the Ministry of Magic."
"No wonder compared to the other laws that are full of loopholes, the laws between the Ministry of Magic and Gringotte are surprisingly strict." Mrs. Krivat closed her pen and put it aside. "Lunn, I'm sorry that Flipper and I couldn't help you."
"Mrs. Krivat, it's okay. In fact, even if we found a loophole, Allen might not be willing to use it. It would be troublesome if the sprites really compromised. Now, there are other staff making other plans. Ugh, I still need to wake up later. I'll have a bottle of pumpkin juice, cold, thank you." Lunn ordered the skillful man who came over to serve him. He then found a seat and sat down. "Our next task is the main one. It's not an easy task to revise all the laws and regulations."
"Lunn, I've roughly looked at the background of these laws with Letizia these few days. It's not difficult to revise the 'Law on Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards', 'Anti-Werewolf Law', 'Curriculum Standards Approved by the Ministry of Magic', and 'Muggle Protection Law'." Flipper pushed his gold-rimmed glasses. "These things can be interpreted according to the judge's preference. It's a little …" Krivat paused and did not finish his sarcasm. "These should be clarified and bound by the corresponding laws and regulations. We should be clear on every word of every article and section."
"The World of Sorcerers needs a strict attitude like yours. Mr. Krivat, Mrs. Krivat, I'm not joking. It would be great if the Ministry of Magic could have a few more capable officials like Mr. Krivat. Most wizards don't have a sense of urgency. This makes their efficiency in work much slower than the two of you." Lunn could not hide his admiration in his words. He could not help but complain. "I've actually tried to amend some of the laws and regulations. But when I took over, I felt like my head was about to explode. You know, everyone! Even that Arthur Weasley you've met before, a good man like him would leave plenty of backdoors for himself in the laws he made … "
"Hahaha …" Mrs. Krivat covered her mouth and chuckled. "Lunn, you're being too polite. With the relationship between our families, since you're in trouble, as Penello's parents, of course, it's our duty to help."
"That's because Allen is too lucky." Lunn did not know how to answer directly. He could only smile awkwardly and said, "Penello has been a great help to our family. You know, my brother Albert has been fighting with the owner of Aura's office. Our family's armed forces are now being trained and managed by her."
"No wonder she doesn't even have time to come up with ideas for our house recently. Every time I ask, she says she has something to do …" Mrs. Klivat nodded and complained, "Flipper wants to build a roller coaster like building no matter what. I think it's too weird. We should make it more orthodox … He doesn't know magic and doesn't have any talent in drawing. All he did was draw randomly. The function of the same house is different every time he describes it …"
"Letizia! It's time for business. Where's your profession?! " Mr. Krivat's face turned red from embarrassment. He shouted at his wife and turned to Lunn. "Lunn, I didn't say it was fun. There are a lot of laws related to the International Union of Wizards and Wizards' Confidentiality Act and the Wissengamo Charter of Rights. There are also some laws related to Gringotte. The Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic and even the Minister of the Ministry of Magic have no authority to change them. So, we don't need to touch them."
"Oh, it's my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to the two of you. We don't need to consider the attitude of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards or even the attitude of the British Magic Community. All we need is … You can even think of it as borrowing the existing wizarding laws to create a completely new legal system. Other than being strict and fair, we don't need to worry about anything. Of course, it's necessary to be biased towards the Umbrella Family and the Harris Family. Oh, thank you, BB-8." Lunn took a big gulp of the iced pumpkin juice from the Dexterous Hand Robot.
Unlike Lunn's relaxed tone, the Krivat couple, who were well-known lawyers and had served the Muggle government for more than a year, had a tacit understanding. Their eyelids twitched at the same time. They understood the meaning behind Lunn's words. Mrs. Krivat picked up the pen again and slid it across the paper.
"Lunn … Isn't this too …" Mr. Krivat wiped the sweat off his forehead. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you thinking about the issue of tenure? According to my understanding of the Ministry of Magic and the Magic Community, even though the minister of the Ministry of Magic is elected through democratic elections, but just like Owen's situation, in an emergency, the minister can take up the position directly without voting … Although the Ministry of Magic must hold regular elections with a maximum interval of seven years … Mr. Owen still has more than half of his term left … And if he retires, you will definitely be elected as the minister of the Ministry of Magic … If Allen is willing … "
"Allen won't put his energy into these political matters … Also, Mr. Krivat, you've misunderstood us. Harris doesn't plan to rule the British Ministry of Magic forever … I will take over. Maybe Albert or someone else will take over later in the term, but we won't destroy the regular election system." Lunn leaned back a little as he spoke. Then he seemed to feel that he shouldn't be too arrogant in front of Penello's parents, so he quickly straightened his back. "Most of these laws aren't for the British Magic Community."
"Hmm? That's …? "Mr. Krivat didn't understand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Krivat. Perhaps you've heard Penello mention it before? Some Adepts have mastered a technique called Mind Extraction. Some of the masters of this ability can even detect the thoughts of others without chanting or waving their wands … So, actually, I shouldn't tell the two of you about this for the time being. " Lunn said apologetically. "But don't worry, Umbrella has been researching new equipment for Aura and their own armed forces. One of them is a headband with the ability to seal the brain. But the current sample's interference effect isn't as good as the pure seal the brain, so it hasn't been released yet … There are some more core laws that need to be completed before we can proceed."
