"… but I let the alcohol flow and I putonash butyouknow, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm …"
In the courtyard of the Harris Manor on the island in the middle of the Black Lake in the floating city of the Hogwarts, Nymphadora Tonks and a few others were singing and playing the accordion on a small stage. Her hair was constantly changing colors, and her face was painted to represent the new Magic Kingdom. She was wearing a short dress and dancing while she sang and played the accordion. Her deep voice and the bells on the leather necklace around her neck made her look even sexier than usual.
After leaving the children to their mother, the Tonks' husband was obviously having a lot of fun. Due to the establishment of the Magic Kingdom and the repeal of the Anti-Werewolf Act, he was now playing the trumpet as part of the temporary band. Although he was not good at it and was not outgoing, as a member of the Marauders, he was influenced by Sirius and James, so he knew how to play the trumpet.
At this time, the Tonks' uncle and Lupin's good friend, Sirius, was playing the Rickenback 4001 borrowed from Penello. From time to time, he would reach out to the Bad Seeds and throw a few Molotov cocktails under the stage, causing a burst of fire.
The Molotov cocktails were similar to Demstrand's heating spell. They could not really burn people, but they were good at livening up the atmosphere. This also gave the band, which had no name, the name Molotov Jukebox as a gift from the audience. (Author's Note: This is the band of the Tonks actress, Natalia Tena. The song is called Trying. NetEase has the audio, and YouTube has the live version.)
However, this made the stiff and tall woman behind Sirius feel even more awkward. Josephine was a little annoyed that she shouldn't have agreed to play around with them in this situation. She was used to being looked at by the younger generation, and she was not used to being looked at by the younger generation.
But this strange combination made the band's music difficult to describe in words. Their live performance was even better than the Skeleton Sisters, especially today in Harris Castle during a party to celebrate Allen's election as the king of the new United Kingdom.
Harris' close friends and relatives were invited to the party. Whether it was the relatives of the Dracul family, Mei Wa, Harris' confidants led by John Bartha, Sirius, Lupin, Harry, Jenny, Ron and the others, the party was divided according to age and gender. But this party was less pretentious than usual. Everyone moved freely in the castle in twos and threes to celebrate the establishment of the United Kingdom.
Just like the Tonks, who was now like a rock singer, the new mother was liberated because the old witches were leading the babies in the castle's living room. Many of the old witches were holding a pink baby in their arms. Their eyes were fixed on Mr. Krivat and Lunn, who were explaining the new constitution on the television. Mrs. Krivat was very excited. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time. She, who had participated in the formulation of the law, was willing to let her husband have the chance to show her face.
The old witches' entertainment was obviously more traditional. Not far from the old witches' group, mainly Grindelwald's old subordinates, gathered together to play cards. At this time, Owen, who had just returned, was surrounded by these old men. They congratulated him on his way in.
"Owen, it's all thanks to your family that we old fellows are able to return to our ancestral home and take back our ancestral land deeds in our lifetime." Grimson laughed heartily. He opened his arms and hugged Owen. After letting go, he patted Owen's shoulder enthusiastically.
"Follow in the footsteps of King Allen Harris, our United Kingdom will inevitably be prosperous and unstoppable. I've always told Draco that as long as he follows in the footsteps of Allen, the Malfoy family will not decline. " Lucius bowed slightly. He looked like the white peacock again, but he kept flattering Harris.
These days, the Malfoy family was happy that they had chosen to follow Harris and bet on the right thing. Harris' victory not only maintained the Malfoy family's position in the ruling class of England, but now they were one step closer to becoming the ruling class of the Magic Kingdom. And as a benefit, after Harris gave them a part of the business of raising the fire dragon in the floating city, they also made a lot of money from it. They had already earned back the huge amount of wealth that the Malfoy family had spent following The Dark Lord a few years ago.
"Owen, I'm so happy for you. You have a good son. Mr. Krivat can now confidently explain the Constitution to the wizards. He was originally a Muggle, but now not only has he become a wizard, but he can also promote the rigor of the legal system of the Magic Society." Grindelwald looked at Owen with a pair of strange eyes that did not need to blink at all. His voice was full of emotion. "Allen used a smarter way to complete what I couldn't do back then."
"That's because you didn't catch up to us in the past. Your thinking was too advanced and you didn't have the support of the current technology …" Owen was still more polite to his father's old boss than to other people. However, when he noticed that Grindelwald was alone, he did not see Dumbledore who was inseparable from Grindelwald. After looking around, he frowned slightly. "Gellert, Abusi didn't come today? Could it be … could it be that he is unhappy with our actions? "
"Owen, don't worry about Abusi. I'll talk to him." Grindelwald stroked his delicately trimmed beard. "As long as the current actions and future actions can be used to deal with the Grim Reaper, I think Abusi will be able to endure it." He revealed a charming smile. "In fact, he's been staying at home recently to avoid … You know, many people, especially foreigners, want him to say something about this. But this time, he felt the power of Fleevy himself. So, he's actually supporting our actions. He knows what's more important and what's more important. What's the situation with Allen? I haven't seen him in the past few days. "
Grindelwald was now on the same side as Allen and was on the same side as Harris. So, he straightforwardly explained things to Owen. Similar to how Fleevy treated Allen as his real disciple, although Grindelwald was not arrogant enough to think that he was Allen's teacher, the fact that Allen was gradually realizing it made the first generation of The Dark Lord think that Allen was half his successor. Not only that, but he also cared about Allen in a real sense.
"I was a little annoyed the first few days, but..." Owen looked around, shrugged and said casually, "I realized that I was worried that Ravenclaw was actually quite indifferent in this aspect... They should have gotten over it these few days and started to play with the little witches every day without a care in the world..."
"The influence of Filius in his heart won't dissipate so easily …" Grindelwald said with a relaxed smile. "But what we're going to do next is also a kind of catharsis."
Hearing this, the originally stagnant atmosphere relaxed again. The wizards surrounded Owen and began a new round of congratulations, but it did not last for more than a few seconds.
"But in my opinion, the history of the United Magic Kingdom won't last long," John Bartha said abruptly as he shook his short curly hair.
This time, the surrounding old men were so shocked that they did not know how to smooth things over. Some of them subconsciously took two steps back and stayed away from Bartha.
Grimson rubbed his red nose and looked at John. His eyes were scrutinizing John as if he was crazy or under the Soul Seizing Spell. But Grindelwald stared at him and smiled.
"Everyone, I learned that in ancient times, many Muggle Kings would ascend the throne after obtaining the title of King of the third Kingdom." John Bartha's tone was very calm, as if he was describing an established fact. "So when the United Magic Kingdom occupies the United States, Principal Allen Harris will have the title of King of the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. Restoring the glory of the ancient Magic Empire is just around the corner."
Only then did the surrounding people understand Bartha's words. They felt that he was indeed the most trusted confidant of the minister and the legendary flatterer. The surrounding old men also breathed a sigh of relief and looked even happier. This clearly revealed Owen's greater ambition.
