"Oh!" Fred did not head back toward his seat either. He folded his arms, looking thoroughly entertained. "Harry! Why don't you take up a part-time job like Rita Skeeter?"
Harry stopped as well. At Fred's words, he blinked in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Take on a part-time position as a Divination professor!" George teased. "You'd barely said that someone might cause trouble, and it happened right away. That was practically a prophecy!"
Fred and George gave simultaneous thumbs-ups. "Impressive!"
The others, including Charlotte Bonaccord, reacted similarly. They all stopped where they were, with no intention of returning to their seats.
Several Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic asked, "Director, should we do something? I remember there being... no such item in the conference agenda?"
"Let's watch for now!" Charlotte Bonaccord shook his head. "I believe Mr. Lovegood can handle it..."
Seeing Wizet return to the podium, the representative from the Muggle world seized the opportunity. Without giving Wizet time to speak, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lovegood..."
"From what we have observed, your methods of communication are quite distinctive. They seem to rely primarily on... owls and other creatures to deliver messages."
"Mr. Lovegood, perhaps you do not know this... As of 1995, we have achieved global communication. Anyone, anywhere, can contact someone on the other side of the world."
"This kind of speed, efficiency, and reliability is, I believe, beyond the capabilities of any bird. Does this not mean that, regarding the issue of building a 'better future,' we have provided a superior solution?"
After saying this, the Muggle representative raised his chin slightly. He looked around, and upon seeing the frowns on the wizard representatives' faces, a smile crept onto his lips.
"Sir, thank you for providing such an excellent example." Wizet smiled slightly.
