French Ministry of Magic
Over the next six months, Xiwen would use the Time-Turner to create an alternate clone every day to travel to France, using the Rosier family as a base to gradually integrate the Pure-blood forces within France.
With the full cooperation of the Rosier family, Kama Family, and McMillan family, the integration of Pure-blood proceeded extremely quickly.
As for the Carrow family, who had rebelled against Xiwen in front of Grindelwald, Xiwen showed no mercy and directly handed the entire family over to the French Ministry of Magic.
Thanks to Flamel's centuries-old network of connections within the French Ministry of Magic, the various dark wizards of the Carrow family received extremely fair Judgement from the French Ministry of Magic's Judicial Department.
Surprisingly, apart from the children still in school, none of the wizards in this large family were completely innocent! The lightest crime was the wanton use of Unforgivable Curses, which would at least warrant two or three years in prison.
The next day, the imprisonment of the entire Carrow family became major news in the Wizarding World!
This shocking news made the pure- Wizarding World Pure-blood families, who often committed evil deeds, feel insecure. After learning the inside story, they gained a better understanding of the Pure-blood forces that Xiwen had consolidated, and even developed some awe towards them.
However, Xiwen, the main person who facilitated this matter, did not care about this small trouble that he could easily solve. Instead, he went to the Time Room of the Department of Mysteries and secretly took a few more Time-Turner.
Because of his previous experience visiting the Department of Mysteries, Xiwen seemed particularly adept at the route this time.
Instead of intercepting the time energy from the bell-shaped Crystal jar, he simply opened a Dimensional Gate next to the glass cabinet containing the Time-Turner. With a casual reach, he took away several Time-Turner —convenient, quick, and without the risk of being discovered or receiving an alarm. It was a win-win situation!
Adhering to the principle of equivalent exchange, Xiwen added some of his own understanding of time to the note and placed it in the glass cabinet.
If one day those Unspeakables do discover that a few Time-Turner are missing, they will immediately see this note, which is essentially a one-sided payment, and it will at least give them some closure.
Having done something wrong, Xiwen felt that through this period of experience, his bottom line had become more and more flexible...
Six months later, in France Paris.
A small group of wizards were rushing through the city, covered in dust and weary from their journey.
"Who would have thought that the French Ministry of Magic would surrender as soon as they saw Grindelwald's group? I really don't know what the point of us coming here to help is!" complained a bald wizard in the squad.
"There's no point in saying all this now, Spindu," the capable female Aurors in the lead interrupted him. "We can only hope that we can sneak into the Ministry of Magic before the Pure-blood Party arrive from the border, and then successfully find a Portkey to get back to England."
"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, Goshawk." She turned to a gray-haired witch in the team who wore metal-rimmed glasses and said apologetically, "You've only been in our team for a few days and you've already encountered such a frustrating thing as the surrender of France. You must be feeling terrible, right?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me, Vanessa." Miranda, who had come to the front lines for an internship, smiled and shook her head, saying calmly, "Experiencing things like this is actually quite interesting."
The members of the wizarding team couldn't help but take notice of this young witch who hadn't even graduated yet.
At the beginning of the second semester of seventh grade, Miranda set off for the front lines at the call of Headmaster Dippet, becoming a volunteer wizard in the Global Wizarding War and experiencing numerous battles between wizards, both large and small.
Her reason for coming to the battlefield differed from that of most of her classmates. She wasn't there to increase her seniority, nor was she after the easily obtainable Order of Merlin. Miranda simply wanted to improve her strength and break through the stubborn bottleneck blocking her path!
The wizarding team continued their journey, trying to avoid the sight of Muggle while also scouting their surroundings to prevent the Pure-blood Party wizarding forces from discovering their presence.
The capable female Aurors Vanessa led her wizard squad toward Fürstenberg Square in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The square was not large, with four lush France trees surrounding a fountain, and the words "Wallace Fountain" were engraved on the stone base in the center.
Vanessa approached the fountain and coughed softly twice. Immediately, the roots of the four surrounding sycamore trees magically rose up, combining to form a birdcage-like magical elevator.
The wizard team squeezed together into the fairly spacious magical elevator, descending along the tree roots to below ground level.
The headquarters of the French Ministry of Magic is located in a light-filled Art Nouveau building, with a dome formed by a complex network of tunnels covering this unique structure.
The wizard team stepped out of the magical elevator and arrived at the main hall.
The headquarters' main hall, which also serves as the entrance to the Midgard, has a magical glass dome that forms the roof of the main hall. The roof is enchanted, depicting many Beasts from the constellations, while sculptures of various female figures stand on the ground below the roof.
The walls of the Ministry of Magic's main hall are made of green glass, presenting a dynamic, long, and curved line. Continuing forward, you can see a heavy bronze reception desk behind one of the walls, while in the center of the room are rows of tall green and gold cabinets, each containing a narrow, individually numbered drawer.
Under normal circumstances, Ministry of Magic staff would be there to attentively greet guests.
However, the hall was now empty. The heavy footsteps of the wizarding team echoed through the empty corridor, making everyone feel a little breathless.
"Did they really all slip away? In just a few days?" the bald man Spindu, asked incredulously in a low voice.
"It seems so. They even left many important documents at the Ministry of Magic and didn't have time to take them with them," Vanessa said with a grim expression as she casually opened a file folder on a desk.
At this moment, another wizard interrupted their conversation, urgently reminding them, "Isn't it perfect that no one's around now? We can hurry and get the Portkey they left behind so we can return to England as quickly as possible."
"Yes, you're right." Vanessa nodded and asked, "Does anyone here know much about the structure of the French Ministry of Magic? Which department usually holds the Portkey?"
The wizard team members exchanged bewildered glances; these wizard volunteers from England were completely unaware of the affairs of the French Ministry of Magic.
"I guess...it's somewhere in the Department of Magical Transportation or some kind of international agency?" Spindu said uncertainly.
"In the England Ministry of Magic, it's called the International Magical Cooperation Division," Miranda said after a moment's thought. "Does the French Ministry of Magic have a corresponding department?"
"It seems there really isn't one." Vanessa looked at the bewildered crowd, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to take matters into her own hands and start searching for the corresponding department in the Ministry of Magic's departmental classification files.
"Why don't we go check out the Magic Bureau? The French Ministry of Magic doesn't have many departments, and all sorts of messy things are probably handled by this department with its vague name."
