The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The elevator came down quickly. Accompanied by a rattling and clack, the golden gate in front of Percy slid open, and a push came from behind, and the crowd pushed Percy into the elevator. Soon, a large influx of wizards squeezed Percy against the inner wall of the elevator.

"Can't you put a traceless stretch spell on this thing?" The wizard named Bob next to him complained. Because there were too many people, the box on his chest was sticking closer to him, which made him even more uncomfortable. .

The surrounding wizards hummed and echoed a few words.

After the elevator was no longer packed, the fence door slammed shut, and with the sound of the chain rattling, the elevator slowly ascended, then stopped, and then Percy heard an indifferent female voice:

[Seventh floor, Department of Magic and Sports, including the British and Irish Quidditch League Command, Official Gobstone Club, Funny Products Patent Office]

The elevator door creaked open, and several wizards tried their best to line up the crowd and squeezed out. The space in the elevator is a little more spacious.

The elevator continued to ascend to the sixth floor - the Ministry of Magic was built underground, so the number of floors was decreasing. The lobby that Percy first came to was on the eighth floor, with the Division of Mysteries and the Wizengamore Courtroom below. The elevator gradually goes up, and finally reaches the first floor: the Office of the Minister of Magic and the logistics office. As for the International Magic Cooperation Division he was going to, it was on the fifth floor.

The elevator stopped at the Department of Magical Transportation, a few wizards went out, and a few paper planes came in. The paper planes were uniform in color, light purple, with the Ministry of Magic stamp on the sides of the wings.

Percy knew that it was a note to pass messages between departments. When my father was working, owls were used to pass messages between departments, and the entire Ministry of Magic was filled with owl feces.

Looking at the paper airplane hovering slowly overhead, and at his straight formal suit, Percy felt that this reform was really great.

[Five floors, International Magic Cooperation Department, including International Magic Trade Standards Association, International Magic Law Office, and International Wizarding Federation British Branch]

"Excuse me, let's go!" Percy squeezed out very hard. In front of him is a clean and tidy corridor without any extra decoration, and the floor is as smooth as a mirror, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Thinking of the hallway that looked like a nightclub in the Department of Magic and Sports he had just glimpsed, Percy felt that it was the right decision to choose this place.

Previously, under the guidance of the kind witch, he applied for several positions, and finally the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, the Department of Magical Traffic and the Department of International Magical Cooperation showed interest in him. After some careful consideration, he chose the International Magic Cooperation Division.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Is it the new Assistant Director-General Percy Weiss?" The person who came was a well-dressed witch, her temperament was more like a white-collar elite than a wizard. She has short hair and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. The wizard's robe on her body has obviously been modified. It is not as loose as other wizard's robes.

After getting Percy's affirmative answer, the witch looked at him with some strange eyes, "Very well, come with me, Mr. Crouch wants to see you."

Percy tidied up his collar nervously. As the director, Mr. Crouch wanted to see him. He was not surprised - he was his assistant anyway, although it was only a small role in recording documents, but seeing him On the one hand it should be.

The skillful witch led Percy down the corridor.

"Mr. Crouch likes cleanliness and order best, so our environment should be the best in the Ministry of Magic. Everything needs to be well-organized and meticulous." They passed by a window, the bright sun shining on Percy face.

Percy knew that even underground, it would not affect the lighting of the Ministry of Magic, because these windows were enchanted, and the specific weather was determined by the Magic Maintenance Service - if this department wanted to raise wages, then the entire Ministry of Magic There's a good chance there's going to be a long period of bad weather.

The two turned a corner, and they were facing two heavy oak gates. The words "International Magic Cooperation Division" were written in cursive on the top of the gates. Passing through the gate, Percy entered an open area divided into many cubicles, where everyone was crouching at their desks, quietly busy. Only the rustling of quills on parchment and the screeching of documents flipping over the entire area. As if he came to not an office area but an exam room.

From time to time, a few message slips flew out and in from the cubicle, bringing message after message to colleagues sitting nearby.

Percy saw a sign in a small cubicle, which read in extremely neat font: International Magic Trade Standards Association ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This scene completely shocked Percy, he felt that there was no such thing in the world. Everywhere is more perfect than here, here is the embodiment of rules and order.

As he passed the cubicle, Percy peeked into the door. He saw a wizard sitting at his desk, sitting on his desk, writing something on a note. There was a pile of papers on his desk. , but everything is laid out neatly.

"He must be busy with something extremely important!" Percy thought to himself.

But if Percy was shown what he was writing, he would be shocked. The wizard's note said impressively: [Qiao Yin, do you want to have two drinks at noon? 】

Most of the notes in this office are similar, or some complicated process: here you need to sign, there he needs to submit an application.

The wizards here even take a little time every day to write a summary of today's work, and then send the summary to their boss. After reading your summary, the boss will also write a receipt and arrange the next day's work for you. Work.

The wizards here seem to be very busy, but in fact they are very busy, but how much work has been done...

Don't ask, don't ask! Everyone is working hard!

Of course, the new Percy doesn't know the truth. Even if the witch who took the lead knew it, she didn't bother to break through this tacit status quo.

And the source of all this is Mr. Crouch, who likes rules and likes busyness very much.

Percy and the Witch passed through this office area, and walked through corridors and similar office areas for a few days, and finally came to a wooden door with a nameplate telling Percy that this was Mr. Crouch's office.
