Chapter 252：

Putting the ring on his left hand, stroking the ring with his right hand, and looking at himself in the mirror, John raised the corners of his mouth.

"Let's go to the Ministry of Magic."

The silver mask was put on his face, John snapped his fingers, the fireplace burned with green flames, and he and Tang Mi walked in.

…

Chapter 276 Ministry of Magic and Audition

When he came out again, John was already in the hall of the Ministry of Magic.

It is resplendent with gold and jade, and the floor is a polished dark wooden floor.

The peacock blue ceiling is inlaid with sparkling golden symbols, constantly moving and changing.

The four walls are inlaid with glossy dark wooden boards, and a gold-plated fireplace is embedded in it.

John had just come out of one of the gilded fireplaces.

He opened a floo network connected to the Ministry of Magic, and it was Old Barty who took the lead.

There is a fountain in the center of the foyer, and a group of pure gold statues stand in the circular pool.

Statue of the Magic Brothers.

A handsome wizard and a beautiful witch, as well as centaurs, goblins and house elves looked at the two wizards with admiration.

In John's opinion, the Ministry of Magic really puts its money where its mouth is.

No matter how good these superficial skills are, if the magic is not in place, it will be in vain.

Maybe they want to commemorate those hard-won victories, but so far, except for the house elves, the other centaurs and goblins are still not convinced by the Ministry of Magic.

Especially the centaurs, who have never even been to the Ministry of Magic.

Goblins control the finance of the magical world.

"Sir Johnny Silverhand." Waiting here is a smiling wizard.

Safety inspector, Eric, who goes to work every day like visiting a grave with a smile on his face.

He was particularly enthusiastic today because Johnny Silverhand gave him money to replace the old Comet broomstick at home.

"Do you need to check your wand?" John naturally took out his wand.

Eric waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No need, Mr. Johnny Silverhand, Minister Crouch is waiting for you in the office."

"Thank you for the notice." John nodded and led Tang Mi into the golden door.

Eric personally watched John walk into the golden door, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

Returning to his position, he returned to the grave-visiting state.

"I brought a guest."

The voice sounded, Eric looked with drooped eyelids, and Mr. Weasley came to him with Harry.

He said listlessly: "Come over here."

There is no enthusiasm at all, even if the opposite is the famous savior Harry Potter.

After all, the savior didn’t prepare Nimbus 2000 for himself, right?

Asking Harry to take out his wand, he took it slowly.

That speed can rival that of a sloth.

…

Behind the golden door is a smaller hall.

There are at least twenty elevators inside. On the way John walked over, any wizard who saw him would call him "Your Excellency."

Some of Tang Mi’s former colleagues can’t help but envy Tang Mi.

Although Tang Mi no longer works at the Ministry of Magic, his status is much higher than theirs now.

"Your Excellency, please go first."

An elevator arrived, and the tall, unshaven wizard who was about to go up was holding a large cardboard box and quickly stopped the others to make way for John.

Others secretly thought that this guy is really discerning, and they all expressed with smiles that they were not in a hurry and asked you to go in first.

"Thanks, Bob."

In one sentence, the smiles on other people's faces were distorted.

But the big wizard Bob was extremely happy that Johnny Silverhand remembered his name.

The last person whose name was remembered was Ozzie Heard, who is now a candidate for the position of Head of the Auror Office.

He smiled so brightly that he almost shook the chicken in the big cardboard box.

Close the golden fence door and the elevator slowly rises.

"It's really enthusiastic, isn't it, Tang Mi." During the peak period, there were only two people in this elevator.

Tang Mi smiled, shrugged and said, "I have never seen Eric's smile like that. He usually goes to work as heavy as going to the cemetery."

"Power and money are both good things." John rubbed the ring and reached the seventh level.

This is the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, and Ludo is the boss here.

Speaking of Ludo, John said casually: "How much money does Ludo owe?"

"Last time you voted, you promised to exempt him from 10%, and now you still have about 5,400 Galleons." Tang Mi answered with a good memory.

"It looks like we should be able to pay it off next year."

When the people who were about to do something outside saw John inside, they immediately stopped, smiled and asked John to go first.

The elevator continues to run and reaches the sixth floor, which is where the Department of Magical Transportation is located.

On the fifth floor, John met Percy, the current director of the International Office of Magical Law.

With a stack of papers in hand, Percy walked into the elevator.

"I moved out," said Percy. "My father thought I was too petty."

Speaking of this, Percy had a hint of anger on his face.

"That's good, at least it won't be embarrassing, right?" John chuckled, "Mr. Weasley can't arrange your life."

"I think so too."

On the fourth floor, the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, Percy needed to deal with the illegal transportation of magical animals into the country.

The elevator continues to run, passing by the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters on the third floor and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement on the second floor.

They arrived at their destination, the minister's office on the first floor.

Walking into the office, Old Batty was reading documents.

The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"I hope I didn't disturb you." John walked into the office with a smile.

Old Batty showed a smile on his serious face, stood up and shook hands with John.

"How could it be possible, Mr. Johnny Silverhand?"

John caught a glimpse of several documents on the table, concerning Dumbledore and the Dementors of Azkaban.

"Dumbledore is the chief magician of the Wizengamot. This identity restricts the Ministry of Magic's decisions on many matters."

Old Buddy invited John to sit down. There were more white hairs on his short gray hair.

John chuckled and said, "Then take this. Dumbledore won't care about this. His pride is not in these titles, but in the unrivaled magic."

"Yeah, I think that's the way it should be. He told me that the Ministry of Magic has no right to interfere in Hogwarts affairs." Old Barty had some anger on his face.

Stroking the ring, John looked at Old Barty quietly and said meaningfully, "That's why we have to restrict it, Old Barty."

Old Barty saw with his own eyes that Dumbledore behaved like the Emperor of the Ministry of Magic. As the new minister, he did not want to do this.

After looking at the time, Old Batty said, "I think you wouldn't mind going down with me."

"Of course I don't mind," John Shiran stood up and said with a smile, "This is my honor."

Old Barty felt that with this 'second king' around, he would have more confidence to face Dumbledore.

They sat on the elevator and went down. John looked at the second underground floor and said unexpectedly: "Did you change places?"

Old Batty said with a straight face: "We must naturally host our savior and first king in a better place."

Old Barty doesn't like people who don't follow the rules. Unfortunately, Harry Potter is such a person.

"He has to cause trouble almost every year." Old Barty complained about Harry.

Indeed, Harry has done something every year since he entered school.

Another time the Ministry of Magic was disgraced.

It’s hard to get old Batty to like him.

And almost everyone attributes the victory of Voldemort to the savior Harry Potter.

This made Old Batty very angry.

The period when Voldemort was active was when Barty Sr. was in charge of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. It was he who used iron-blooded means to approve the use of the Unforgivable Curse by Aurors to deal with Death Eaters.

It can be said that Old Barty's contribution during that period is not as good as Dumbledore, the nuclear bomb in the wizarding world, and he can at least be ranked in the top three.

As a result, people only remembered Harry Potter, the savior, and Barty Sr. was directly forgotten because of Barty Jr.'s incident.

If it weren't for John, Old Barty would probably still be forgotten in some corner now.

This time, they changed positions to remind them of what old Barty had done in that courtroom and who was the man who led the Ministry of Magic to fight against Voldemort!

The elevator goes all the way to the ninth floor underground.

This is the most mysterious place in the Ministry of Magic.

John walked out and looked at the black door at the end of the corridor, with a strange color in his eyes.

Department of Mysteries.

Old Batty turned into the next staircase and shouted to John: "Sir, get down this way."

"Oh, this is my first time here."

John said casually and took a deep look at the black door of the Department of Mysteries.

There is what he wants there, but it's not a good opportunity yet.

Even Old Batty cannot easily mobilize the contents inside.

Go into the stairs and go all the way down to the bottom.

This place made John feel like he was back in the corridor where he took Potions class.

Use the torch on the rough wall and go all the way to the tenth courtroom.

They pushed the door open and went in.

"Ah, Minister Crouch, and... Lord Johnny Silverhand."

…

Chapter 277 Courtroom and Trial

The girl's high-pitched voice gave John goosebumps, and he looked up.

Even though he is wearing a red robe, the pink collar underneath is still exposed.

A broad, saggy face and a contrived little girl's voice appeared in the mouth of such an aunt.

The visual impact on John was extremely strong.

At this time, Umbridge saw Johnny Silverhand coming, with a look of surprise on her face.
