International Confederation of Wizards
William's feelings were incredibly complicated.
It's a bit like the warden of Shawshank Prison, where a prisoner has been living peacefully in prison for decades, and then one day... he disappears without a trace.
Just one word: Damn! (referring to a percussion instrument)
Hey, you Dark Moe Lord, when can't you escape? Why do you always choose to break out when I come to visit you... Are you deliberately targeting me?
So what if he's past his prime? Why bother trying to create a big news story?
Voldemort's two comebacks are still in the planning stages, and you've already stolen his headlines!
Sure enough, wherever Hermione goes, trouble follows... such a terrifying constitution.
William's gaze darted around, glancing at her, just as the girl happened to look at him.
Their eyes met, and without a word, they both understood what the other was thinking.
That's right, the other party is the walking source of all evil.
So William got into trouble. Hermione stretched out two fingers and secretly pinched his waist, trying to use violence to make him admit to the label so that she could clear her name.
William grabbed Hermione's hand to prevent her from going any further, and walked into the room.
The room was small and rudimentary, with nowhere to hide, let alone dig a tunnel.
As the Holmes of the 1980s, William possessed keen eyesight, a powerful stride, and a radiant presence.
He bent down slightly; on the ground lay a pool of ashes.
William raised his wand and collected the ashes into a glass bottle.
To prevent the old man from getting bored, William and his two companions searched the castle again, thinking they might change his cell to get a change of pace, take a walk in the castle, or perhaps reminisce about its past glory in the meeting hall.
But after searching for twenty minutes, they still found nothing.
They did find the three Auror who had been knocked unconscious.
Well, the Auror was knocked unconscious, so he's definitely dead.
Meanwhile, the Auror from the Austrian Ministry of Magic had already Apparition and arrived at the scene.
Seeing the large number of Auror who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and the stern expression on Minister Soros's face, William breathed a sigh of relief.
If Soros remains calm, then even he can't help but suspect:
The Austria wizards are all Grindelwald's traitors.
Although Grindelwald was imprisoned in Austria, his escape was not merely a problem for Austria, but a serious international issue.
Who could blame him? During his peak, his influence extended throughout Europe and North America.
This is an international war criminal!
The International Confederation of Wizards, which was supposed to be held the following day, was also forced to start urgently in the middle of the night.
At this point, representatives from seventeen countries were finally represented.
Are these really seventeen countries? The International Confederation of Wizards must come up with a reasonable solution as soon as possible.
Why is the International Confederation of Wizards so afraid?
The representatives from various countries were mostly elderly wizards, many of whom had lived through the era of Grindelwald.
Young people might be more familiar with Voldemort, but more afraid of this "second-generation black man."
But the older generation knows better than anyone how terrifying the "Black Generation" Grindelwald was.
His greatest strength was never his ability, but his ability to manipulate people's hearts.
The United States once captured Grindelwald, but he was only imprisoned for six months, Auror guarding him were changed three times.
All the wizards who had long-term contact with him were bewitched by him.
Another problem arises... The International Confederation of Wizards is leaderless, without a president.
The former president was Dumbledore, but he has been disqualified as a representative by Fudge, the Minister of United Kingdom Ministry of Magic.
The International Confederation of Wizards is essentially United Nations with real power, and the president's authority is indeed greater than that of a country's Minister for Magic.
By the way, this app is really good and worth installing, after all, it has a lot of book sources, a wide selection of books, and fast updates!
However, the president is elected from representatives of various countries, and to become the president, you must first be a national representative.
To become a national representative, one must be appointed by the Minister for Magic and approved by a vote of Wizengamot.
This is also why Fudge's disagreement with Dumbledore becoming the representative could disqualify him from being the chairman.
Since the president is no longer here, the purpose of this meeting was to elect a new president.
Unexpectedly, Grindelwald's prison break occurred.
As for temporarily appointing the vice president, unfortunately... the International Confederation of Wizards does not have the position of vice president.
This is similar to the Pope; below him are only cardinals, and there's never been a so-called vice-pope.
"I believe the most urgent task is to bring Dumbledore back as soon as possible and let him take charge again."
As a staunch supporter, the Macedonia representative spoke first.
His words were echoed by many wizards.
"Indeed, only Dumbledore could stand against Grindelwald."
"That's right, hurry and go to Hogwarts to ask Dumbledore!"
While some agreed, others opposed, and many representatives had their eyes on the vacant presidency and wanted to advance further.
"I'm sorry, Dumbledore has been disqualified by Fudge due to false statements," the Russia representative announced loudly.
"I have never heard of an unqualified wizard being allowed to continue serving as president; this is against the rules."
We need to re-elect the president of the letter.
"That will take a very long time to elect, long enough for Grindelwald to make a comeback three times over!" shouted the Italy representative.
That's true.
The election of the president has always followed an ancient method.
This tradition is timeless... secrecy, folded slips of paper, burning ballots, mixtures of ancient Potions, smoke signals.
According to the rules for the election of the president:
On election day, the delegates will stay in a "Chamber of Secrets".
During the election of the chairman, the Chamber of Secrets was completely isolated from the outside world, with all the doors locked and sealed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The delegates held secret ballot presentations twice a day. After the votes were counted, the ballots were immediately burned, and the smoke was piped out of the windows so that the wizards gathered nearby could know the voting results.
If no candidate has enough votes, the ballots are burned with wet grass, producing black smoke; if a candidate is elected, the ballots are burned with dry grass, producing white smoke.
The election was suspended after the new president announced the dissolution of the association.
The longest election lasted a full two months before a new president was elected.
The entire conference hall suddenly became noisy.
"I think..." a sweet voice suddenly said.
As Fudge's close comrade and partner, Umbridge replaced Dumbledore as the new representative of the United Kingdom.
She began by saying, "Given this crisis, I believe that at times like these, we must stand together."
Although Dumbledore has stepped down, this representative can take his place and continue to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the Chairman.
The president of the International Confederation of Wizards wields considerable power and can, to a certain extent, favor his own country.
Fudge doesn't want Dumbledore step down unless absolutely necessary. So this vacancy is one he has to fight for.
To be a wizard, you need to have dreams; what if you succeed?
"Crisis? The Wizarding World has never been free from crises..." the France representative retorted sarcastically.
"Your representative may have a bad memory; let's not even mention the Death Eaters wreaked havoc in the United Kingdom more than a decade ago."
Just look at Black, who escaped from Azkaban two years ago; the Quidditch World Cup that was attacked a year ago; and the wizards from various countries who were kidnapped...
"This new United Kingdom representative Umridge, is it?"
What you call a "crisis" is nothing more than a display of your own ignorance.
After all, given the haste, you may not yet be fully capable of fulfilling the role of the United Kingdom representative.
The France representative's words were full of sarcasm, as if Umbridge were some naive young girl who had never seen the world.
Umbridge blushed and glared at the other man.
But the France representative simply gave the middle finger, indicating his disdain.
Your family's minister might spoil you, but nobody here will pay you any attention!
