While the United States Congress was cheering, the Hogwarts floating city was filled with even more enthusiastic cheers due to their advantage in numbers. Weasley's fireworks were set off in various parts of the floating city, singing a celebratory song in unison …
Whether it was the bustling commercial plaza, the solemn Ravenclaw Temple, or the newly renamed Ministry of Magic of the United Magic Kingdom, one could see different races and hear different languages. Everyone gathered together to celebrate the establishment of the United Magic Kingdom.
Just like what the members of the Ministry of Magic did in the morning, not only the floating city of the Hogwarts, but also the British mainland and Germany, where the Ministry of Magic's logo was previously hung, the Ministry of Magic's logo with a big M in the middle was removed by the wizards without any reluctance and replaced with the new logo of the United Magic Kingdom, which belonged to Allen's All-Seeing Eye.
At this moment, whether it was the wizards, centaurs, or even the mermaids living in the Black Lake … every race was celebrating in their own way.
The centaurs at the edge of the Forbidden Forest shot their magic arrows into the sky with the arrowheads removed. These arrows exploded in the air and turned into stars. Cheerful ponies ran freely under these stars, laughing and neighing as they chased each other.
Mermaids with iron-gray skin and long, messy dark green hair came out of the Black Lake, slapping the surface of the lake with their tails, singing songs that were pleasing to their ears. Although the sound was extremely harsh after coming out of the water.
For non-wizard races like the centaurs and mermaids, due to various reasons, they arrogantly rejected the status of "humans" and chose to be defined as "beasts" by the Ministry of Magic.
But now that he had frequent contact with the wizards, and his life had become inseparable, this concept had changed. Moreover, the newly established Magic Kingdom was different from the old Ministry of Magic. When the announcement was made, it mentioned that other non-wizard magical creatures could also obtain citizenship as long as they obeyed the law. Obviously, the Magic Kingdom was not just a kingdom for the wizards, but for the entire magic world.
Of course, the most excited ones were the wizards themselves, especially the German wizards who had migrated to the floating city and the ones who had just joined. They were deeply honored and proud of it. They did not mention their previous identities at all and considered themselves as Hogwarts and people of the Magic Kingdom.
Outside the Wizard Auditorium with a domed dome, the newly established government of the Magic Kingdom held another press conference with great fanfare. Various media outlets surrounded the rostrum with their cameras.
Many of the adepts who had been watching while waiting for the results of the referendum were seated below the stage. Now, every single one of these adepts had obtained a ridiculously thick constitution manual from the hands of the adepts.
Lunn Harris, former Director of the Magical Law Enforcement Department of the British Ministry of Magic, stood on the podium. He explained to the audience the purpose of the press conference, announcing the promulgation and interpretation of new laws.
At the same time, in the passage behind the podium, Mr. Krivat, who was actually in charge of the new constitution, smoothed out the non-existent creases on his magic robe. He then cleared his throat and looked at Lunn, ready to speak at any time.
Mr. Krivat's hands were cold because he was too nervous. He secretly cheered himself up. When he was in the Muggle Society, as an excellent lawyer, he could be recognized by the Muggle Society. Now, even if the battlefield had changed, he could still conquer these wizards and make them recognize his professionalism.
"Don't be nervous, Felipe. There are a lot of troublemakers out there today. The constitution you are responsible for is undoubtedly helpful to them." Xenophilius, who had white hair that resembled cotton candy, flicked the tassel on his bright yellow hat. Then, he looked at the constitution in his hand with bulging eyes and gulped. "To be honest, I've never seen such a thick law before... There are even more rules than Quidditch, right?"
"Letizia and I have been working on this ever since we came to the Magic Kingdom. This is necessary to cure all the long-term problems in the Magic Kingdom." In front of his good friend, Mr. Krivat said proudly, "I'm willing to bet that in the entire floating city … No, I should say that in the entire magic world, no one knows the law better than us."
"Then, it seems like you are telling the truth when you told me that lawyers are better than dentists …" Xenophilius nodded and sighed.
"Xenophilius, it seems like you understand now. Lawyers are much better than dentists!" In front of his best friend, Mr. Krivat proudly mocked the other Muggle-turned-wizard he wasn't used to seeing on the floating city. "On a Muggle plane … You know Muggles can't teleport, so they need a floating ship that can't teleport … Anyway, if there's an emergency and a flight attendant starts yelling and asking the passengers who's a doctor or a therapist to help a patient with a heart attack, dentists like them are only more useful than those psychiatrists who start looking at the clock and pick up their notebooks to ask the unconscious patient how he feels … At least they can do something … at least they can pry open the patient's mouth, you know? … "
At this moment, Lunn on the podium invited Mr. Krivat to the podium. Felipe straightened his back and nodded at Mr. Lovegood. Then, he walked out of the passage under the enthusiastic applause of the wizards outside.
"Felipe, you are walking on the wrong side of the road!" Lovegood shouted. When he realized that Felipe didn't hear him, he shrugged and called over his subordinate who was in charge of broadcasting. "Excuse me … I'm sorry, I forgot your name, but you will be in charge of the broadcast. I'm going to the toilet to relieve myself. I ate a little too much for lunch … Recently, Maggie's cooking skills have improved."
"Yes, sir! … Huh? " The wizard answered quickly. Then, he saw that his director had turned around and was jogging away. He even took out a newspaper from his bag and was about to go to the toilet. "I'm in charge? I'm just an assistant. "
However, unlike Lovegood's unreliability, Mr. Krivat, who was outside, showed the professional attitude of a lawyer when he walked on the podium with his head held high and his chest held high.
The entire constitution was written by himself and his wife. Without even flipping through the pages, Mr. Krivat began to analyze and explain the laws to the wizards one by one. He also made up a character named San Zhang who was like an outlaw and used him to give some examples of crimes so that the wizards who were mostly ignorant of the law could understand it better.
After only a few pages of analysis, the audience and the wizards in front of the TV had already mechanically applauded after he finished speaking. Compared to the enthusiastic celebration outside, it was strangely quiet here. The wizards were silent like ducks listening to thunder, and the audience was a little confused.
But Mr Krivat took this as a compliment, and went on tirelessly, page after page, until the wizards' heads swelled, but they could not afford to leave the solemn occasion, and could only stare longingly at the absurdly thick Forerunner's Handbook, which had been given away free of charge.
Because in the history of wizards, the laws of the magic world had never been so meticulous, strict and detailed, and there were no loopholes at all. The magic world had always been governed by people. Wesengamer was an organization that was a combination of the court and parliament, and was responsible for deliberations. The jurors and judges had a lot of authority, unlike the current situation where everything was governed by law, which seemed to lack human touch.
