Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Visitor of the Ministry of Magic, you need to be checked at the security checkpoint and register your wand. The checkpoint is at the end of the main hall."

The female voice said again.

The ground of the phone booth trembled suddenly. They sank slowly into the ground.

Tiera saw the pavement outside the phone booth's glass window rise higher and higher until it was dark above them.

Tiera couldn't see anything but the monotonous, harsh rubbing of the phone booth as it sank into the ground. After about a minute, a thin golden light hit his feet, and then the golden light gradually widened and expanded onto his body, finally hitting his face.

"The Ministry of Magic wishes you a great day." The woman's voice came out again.

The door of the phone booth slammed open, and "Guidero Lockhart" walked out first, followed by Tiera.

They were standing at one end of a long splendid hall with a brightly polished dark wooden floor. The peacock blue ceiling is inlaid with gleaming golden symbols, constantly moving and changing, like a huge high-altitude bulletin board.

The walls on all four sides are clad in dark wood planks, and many gilded fireplaces are embedded in the planks. Every few seconds, with a soft pop, a wizard pops out of one of the fireplaces on the left. And on the right, several people were lining up to leave in front of each fireplace.

In the middle of the foyer is a fountain. In a circular pool stood a group of pure gold statues, larger than real people. The tallest of them was a dignified sorcerer, holding his wand high to the sky. Surrounding him were a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house-elf. Centaurs, goblins, and house-elves all looked up at the two wizards with admiration. Jets of shining water shot from the tip of the wizard's wand, from the centaur's arrow, from the tip of the goblin's hat, from the house-elf's ears.

There was the clatter of water all around, the pops and pops of Apparitioners, and the chaotic footsteps of hundreds of witches and wizards. With the deadly expressions of the mornings on their faces, they strode toward the row of golden doors across the hall.

"It's Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, right?" came a shrill voice.

Tiera and "Guidero Lockhart" looked at the source of the voice——

Cutting through the crowd, striding toward them was a squat witch.

The witch had a broad, slack face, short curly hair with a little black velvet bow, and a fluffy pink cardigan over her fat body.

Dangerous!

Great danger!

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Lockhart." The witch charged at Gilderoy Lockhart and Tiera like a pink toad.

Before Tiera could react, "Gidero Lockhart"'s hand was already held by Pink Toad.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Lockhart, my name is Dolores Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister of Magic." Umbridge said while shaking Gilderoy Lockhart's hand. .

Then, when Tiera was stunned by the scent of Umbridge's perfume, Umbridge suddenly bent down and looked at Tiera—

"Clap--"

Umbridge reached out and patted Tiera's face twice, then squeezed again.

"This must be our little Mr. Lockhart, Tierra, right?" Umbridge stared at Tiera with a smile—

[This **** little Mudblood can actually be on the list of adoptive fathers like Gilderoy Lockhart! 】

Tiera heard Umbridge say in her heart.

"Mr. Lockhart, this way." Umbridge stood up after pinching Tiera's face.

Stride to the Ministry of Magic checkpoint

"I brought two guests." Umbridge said indifferently to the staff at the checkpoint.

"This way, please." The originally listless wizard was like a cat whose tail was instantly stepped on—

Tiera seemed to see that the staff member's hair exploded.

Gilderoy approached him first, and the wizard held up a long golden rod, as thin and flexible as a car antenna, which he used on Gilderoy Lockhart's chest and back from the top. Sweep it down.

"Wand." The wizard at the security check muttered to Gilderoy Lockhart, put down the golden thing, and held out his hand.

"My wand is ruined," Tiera told Gilderoy Lockhart. "Sacrificed in the fight with the Dark Lord. I haven't had time to buy a new wand."

"Oh, let's go then." The wizard said, then picked up the golden device and continued to scan Tiera.

"Wand," said the wizard at the security checkpoint.

Tiera handed over the wand. The wizard threw it on a grotesque brass machine that looked like a one-disk scale.

The machine began to vibrate slightly. A narrow strip of parchment spit out quickly from a slit in the bottom. The wizard tore off the paper and read the words on it.

"Twelve inches, walnut, Long Xinjian core, two years old. Right?"

"Yes," Tiera said.

"I'll keep this," said the wizard, stabbing the parchment on a small brass nail. "Take this back."

He shoved his wand into Tiera's hand.

"Thank you." Tiera thanked politely.

"Wait a minute," said the wizard slowly, then looked at "Gilderoy Lockhart"—

"Mr. Lockhart," said the security wizard, "can you sign my name?"

"Eric!" Umbridge yelled suddenly, "Don't make trouble!"

The wizard at the checkpoint was startled. He had no choice but to smile bitterly, then turned to his side and let Tiera walk in as well.

"I'll take you to the Law Enforcement Department to register for adoption first." After passing the security checkpoint, Umbridge said as he walked, "Then I'll take you to the Department of Mysteries on the ninth basement floor, where Professor Dumbledore and Minister Fudge are there. Waiting for you there, you and they will go down the stairs to the courtroom on the tenth basement floor, from there special Felu net to the North Sea Fort near Azkaban, then you will ride the Thestral carriage from the North Sea Fort to Az Caban."

Umbridge said flatteringly as he walked towards the elevator.

"Thank you, Madam Senior Deputy Minister," Tierra asked "Gidero Lockhart" to say.

"Giggle, you're welcome, Mr. Lockhart." Umbridge said with a smile, holding a girlish voice.

After the elevator arrived~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Umbridge turned sideways and blocked the elevator door with his hand. After "Gidro Lockhart" and Tiera both entered the elevator, Umbridge followed. Went into the elevator and closed the elevator door before the other witches and witches entered the elevator——

In the entire elevator room, only the Tieras and Umbridge were left.

This put Tiera on pins and needles.

"Second floor, Department of Magical Law Enforcement, here we are."

The cold female voice sounded again, but Tiera felt that it was like the gospel of heaven.

Gilderoy Lockhart and Tiera walked out of the elevator impatiently, and led by Umbridge to the 2-13th door of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Giggle, I'm waiting for you here. After the adoption process, I'll take you to the courtroom on the tenth basement floor to meet with Minister Fudge and Professor Dumbledore." Umbridge said with a smile, "before entering the trial Please give me Mr. Lockhart Jr. before we go."

"I like children very much, and I believe we can become very good friends."

shit!
