Before Alfred could finish his words, the pureblood wizards around him immediately agreed. These pureblood families had found a suitable reason before they came to the floating city. They looked at the live camera with a pained expression, and each of them declared loudly that they would join forces with the Bork family, describing how they were forced to close down their family's business in England.
Although these pureblood families were heartbroken about the decision to close down their business in England, it would not cause fatal damage to these families who had accumulated hundreds of years of wealth. For what they thought was a greater benefit, the number of unemployed wizards in the United Kingdom's Ministry of Magic would soar, and it would highlight the major flaws in the policies of the Ministry of Magic. It would be a blow to the Ministry of Magic that Harris was in charge of, and at least take the opportunity to overthrow Owen Harris.
These pureblood families believed that this radical action of using Harris to provoke other wizards and fairies was the last chance they could seize now. Because once the floating city stabilized step by step, Harris, who controlled politics, education, and manufacturing, would be a disaster for these old forces. This was indeed a threat to the ordinary wizards, especially those who had just seen on the live broadcast that they had lost their jobs.
Then, a flame appeared out of nowhere, and a golden, majestic phoenix stood on the hooded shoulder of Allen. Together, they appeared in front of the bank. Allen held his staff in his hand and called out those longan-like orbs to focus on the fairies and pureblood families around him.
However, Allen's usual "I'm not to be trifled with" look was out of place. What confused the wizards both inside and outside the screen was that there were translucent bags of various sizes hanging on Allen's staff, and there were many fresh ingredients in them. Apart from meat, vegetables, and mushrooms, there were even a few cartons of milk poking out of the headband. A few colorful fish were opening and closing their gills in the water balls. The white-haired wizard seemed to be careful not to let these things touch his robe to avoid staining it with the smell. It seemed that this was also the reason why he did not put these things into his waist pouch with the Traceless Stretching Spell on his waist.
If one ignored the stiff atmosphere of the Hogwarts' headmaster's outfit, such an outfit was like a husband who had just finished work and helped his wife run errands to the market to buy groceries.
The pureblood family wizards and fairies looked at Allen cautiously. The more timid and cunning ones could not help but step back a little to make their companions' faces more visible. They were even more uneasy because they could not figure out what Allen wanted to do.
Back then, Lord Voldemort, who was as strong as the Dark Lord, stepped on a Muggle toy under Alan's design and was forced to be assigned to Gryffindor. He was also dressed up as a boy who had survived the disaster. The memory of that was still strongly etched in their minds. They could not tell if Alan's strange dressing up had a deeper meaning, but now that they were against Harris, they were sure that the wizard in front of them did not know about it.
However, after entering Harris' bank, Allen walked up the stairs with Anka to the conference venue. His casual footsteps knocked on the hearts of the fairies and purebloods on the scene. The wizards who were yelling at Harris gradually lowered their voices until they could no longer be heard.
The wizards on the scene all stopped talking. No one said anything. They looked at Allen on the stage and felt the chill in the air. They could not help but hold their breaths. The cameras did not dare to neglect and immediately turned to Allen. As the owner of the floating city, Allen naturally became the focus of attention. Everyone was waiting for him to speak, waiting for him to fight back against the pureblood family's threats.
"Ah, it's great that you can come." Allen spoke, but it was even more confusing.
The headmaster of Hogwarts, who had bulged his eyes because of searching, relaxed. He happily strode down a few steps and walked into the wide-brimmed black hat of Director Josephine Harris. He then nodded to his aunt, walked past her, and stopped next to Sirius, who was secretly eating a cup of ice cream. However, his head was facing a fat middle-aged wizard wearing a light brown cap. He was Amos Diggory, Cedric's father.
The wizards present and not present all looked at Allen in astonishment. At this time, Allen's behavior made the atmosphere even more confusing. Amos Diggory's forehead was sweating. He did not understand why the headmaster of Hogwarts, who was more famous than his son in Quidditch, would come to him at this time.
Diggory noticed the eyes and the focused cameras on him. He suppressed the surprise and anxiety in his heart, took off the hat on his head, and pretended to be calm. He took the initiative to speak first, "Headmaster Harris, do you have any orders for me?"
"Mr. Diggory, I have an urgent family matter that I need your help with …" Allen looked at Diggory with a solemn face. "I want to ask … Are you familiar with Autumn Zhang's parents? Have you had a meal with them? I mean, have they treated your family to a meal? I'm sorry, although I was teammates with Autumn in Quidditch when I was in school, I don't know much about her family … "
"Autumn's parents?" Diggory repeated before he could react. Then, the impression that the heir of Harris was not very good when it came to relationships filled his mind. He immediately said with some vigilance, "Of course, Headmaster Harris, Autumn and my son, Cedric, have been engaged for a long time. My family has had a meal with their parents. Headmaster Harris, what are you …?"
"Then the food they treated you to is … Oh, it's their hometown food! That's great! " Allen stared at Diggory. Diggory was a little shocked by his own question and answer. He also noticed that he had been misunderstood by Diggory and some of the wizards present. Allen smiled bitterly and quickly said the purpose of his visit. "You may not know, but I just went to Soho in Westminster, but I'm missing a few things … And it's a little too exaggerated to go to their hometown directly … So, Mr. Diggory, I just want to ask you to do me a favor. Help me pass a message to your in-laws. I need some seasonings from their hometown listed on this list …"
"Seasonings?" Diggory was so surprised that he subconsciously raised his hand and impolitely put his cap back on in the middle of the conversation. "Hmm? Seasonings?!!! " He finally remembered the stones hanging on Allen's staff. "Headmaster Harris, are you … cooking?"
However, before Allen could reply, the wizards and fairies around him finally understood. The purpose of Allen's appearance here was not to deal with the provocation of the fairies and the pure-blood families, but to ask Amos Diggory for seasonings because he was missing something to cook …
Anger rose in the hearts of the pure-blood family wizards and fairies. They thought it was obvious that the white-haired wizard in front of them did not know about their protest at the bank, so he must have done it deliberately to show that he did not think their protest was a problem at all. He deliberately ignored them and deliberately humiliated them in this way. He wanted people to know that the pure-blood fairies and fairies from the 28 Holy Clans were not as important as a few bags of seasonings in the eyes of Allen Harris.
This made Alfreid, the butler of the Burke family, who was used to not talking much and was good at controlling other people's speech, unable to suppress the rising anger in his heart. He tried to talk to Allen in a stiff tone, "Headmaster Allen Harris, you can't look down on us like this! We're resisting … "
"I'm sorry, Mr. Diggory. Can you please write a letter to Cho Zhang's parents now to explain the situation? I'll ask my Anka to send the letter first so that they can be prepared. I'll go and get it later … It's a bit abrupt for me to visit them directly … "Allen ignored the other wizards. He pointed the dish on his staff forward and signaled Diggory to pay attention." You see, it's quite urgent … If you delay too long, the fish will die and not be fresh anymore … "
