A Turbulent United States

After many twists and turns, the 443rd International Confederation of Wizards Conference was finally held successfully.

This conference was incredibly difficult to hold, with its venue being attacked twice, adding to its legendary status.

Because of this legendary nature, the main theme of the conference was simple and clear:

How to deal with the many unstable factors in the magical world before the arrival of the new millennium.

The delegates to the Wizarding Conference were exceptionally cautious, given the rumors and Prophecy circulating:

In 1999, a major event will occur that will affect all of humanity!

At first, everyone scoffed at it, but with more and more unexpected situations arising, they had no choice but to believe it.

The Paris nuclear crisis two years ago, the Venice White Dragon incident a year ago, the Death Eaters the Quidditch World Cup, the North Sea Kraken incident, Grindelwald's escape from prison...

In just a few short years, a crisis unlike any seen in the past century has occurred. Isn't that a harbinger of something?

The scariest thing is that, upon closer inspection, they were all related to Stark and Granger.

Without these two, I don't know how terrible the world would be!

William, a third-rate transmigrator with no memories, was also confused.

In his previous life, how did the wizards deal with these troubles?

Sigh, I guess I came here to be the Chosen One after all!

The meeting was held amidst this atmosphere of anxiety.

Representatives from the affected countries repeatedly exaggerated the severity of the incident, hoping to prioritize its handling and, incidentally... obtain substantial aid.

France, Italy, and Austria are all complaining about being poor.

However, their demands are not wrong.

Two Grindelwald are, of course, of paramount importance;

The North Sea Kraken and the Little White Dragon should not be underestimated;

The Muggle core problem is even more urgent;

The rise of Death Eaters terrorism and Voldemort's hegemony are also particularly worrying...

In summary:

Hegemony, terrorism, nuclear crisis, and the relationship between humans and nature (Fantastic Beasts)... all hinder the development of wizards.

Muggle exclaimed that he was an expert, after all, they too were deeply troubled by these crises.

Unsurprisingly, both the Egypt and United Kingdom representatives simultaneously declared, "Completely fabricated, utter nonsense!"

Egypt naturally disagreed, Arya Grindelwald sought refuge with them;

Umbridge also insisted:

This is a rumor spread by one or two sorcerers with ulterior motives, intended to incite panic.

Egypt is understandable, since Arya hasn't shown her face yet.

However, the Death Eaters attacked the Quidditch World Cup last summer, and those three Dark Mark are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Umbridge dared to say in a coquettish voice that there were no Death Eaters at all?

Have you no shame?

Well, Umbridge really has no shame.

She was injured and hasn't fully recovered yet; her whole body is wrapped in bandages, but she still insists on attending the meeting.

This is a true example of someone with a disability but a strong will.

She didn't explain why she suffered such severe injuries.

But when William and Hermione spoke on stage, recounting the events in Paris and Voldemort's resurrection, their eyes flashed with murderous hatred.

Clearly, Dumbledore's return as interim president led her to drop the option of suing Hermione at the Wizarding Convention.

This is Dumbledore's territory, Hermione could totally say something like:

Who is standing here, accusing me, the official?

Although the representatives from Egypt and the United Kingdom did not acknowledge what had happened in their countries, it did not mean that the International Confederation of Wizards was powerless to help.

This is, after all, the United Nations, a powerful United Nations. If they want to investigate you, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

Dumbledore waved his hand and announced that special investigators would be dispatched to both countries to conduct investigations.

The investigator was, of course, a devoted fanboy of Dumbledore.

Even the investigators are mine, what makes you think you can fight me?

Besides these major issues that threaten global security, there are many other matters, both minor and major, in each country that require arbitration by the International Confederation of Wizards.

For example, the Loch Ness Monster, a recurring theme.

The Loch Ness Monster is the world's largest Kelpie, and also the most mischievous.

The sea monster can transform into whatever it wants, and this particular sea monster likes to transform into a giant sea serpent to attract the attention of Muggle.

When Muggle approach, it transforms into an otter, and after they leave, it turns back into a sea snake.

The Misinformation Office works tirelessly to convince Muggle that all photographic evidence of the Loch Ness Monster is fake.

The water monster became even more rampant, causing trouble everywhere.

Many people who love the lake monster have written to apply to adopt it.

It's astonishing that William actually heard Hagrid's letter!

He learned that Hagrid wrote every year, offering to give up Black Lake for the monster to live in.

Hagrid, have you considered the feelings of the Merpeople and the students?

Besides the flamboyant lake monster, there's also the Yeti of the Himalayas.

Yeti are among the most secretive creatures in the magical world, with numerous Muggle sightings of Yeti.

I highly recommend this app; it's really good and worth installing, especially since it allows you to cache books and read them offline!

After discussion, Dumbledore announced:

A permanent base will be established there, and an international task force will be stationed there to control the Yeti.

William and Hermione listened in, finding it incredibly amusing.

William's biggest concern was the situation in the United States.

Although he didn't really want to see Professor Babbling, he was quite concerned about Little Tom.

Unfortunately, Picquery talked a lot about the conflict with the Muggle government.

In most countries, the upper echelons of government are aware of wizards, and some even coexist peacefully with them.

For example, the person at Number Ten Downing Street in the United Kingdom had a wizard by his side. In crucial moments, this allowed for necessary communication.

However, the United States is a nation of immigrants, and due to the Scourers, it experienced a long period of witch hunts.

The relationship between the Muggle government and the Magical Congress of the United States of America is very poor, with both sides in a state of mutual hostility.

The Muggle government has purged wizards, Magical Congress of the United States of America has done so many times, interfering in the president's affairs.

For example, the Watergate Scandal in 1972.

In order to obtain intelligence on the Democratic Party's internal campaign strategies, President Nixon sent people to wiretap the Democratic Party National Committee office in the Watergate Building.

After being discovered, the Nix were forced to relinquish their presidency.

The people who removed the listening devices were a group of special agents, professionals.

How did that staff member discover what was supposed to be a flawless cover-up?

It wasn't until the Magical Congress of the United States of America sent Auror to "remind" them that it happened.

William suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. This was 1995, after all, and President Clinton was embroiled in the biggest scandal before the millennium.

It was around this time that a certain famous intern moved into the White House.

President Clinton couldn't resist and had an indescribable encounter with Lewinsky at the White House. Could it also be a witch's Amortentia?

Tsk tsk... It seems that things are more interesting in United States than in the United Kingdom.
