Hogwarts becomes host

Elaine was optimistic at first.

Because Hermione is not a girl who likes to spend time on dressing up. She spends all her time reading books. Although she can maintain a basic clean appearance, she has only had the same set of clothes for many years, so she naturally doesn't understand what clothing is.

Daphne, on the other hand, had just come into contact with the Muggle world. Even if she wanted to help her choose clothes, there were so many styles of clothes, and it would take her a long time to study the colors and how to wear them. Even ordinary Muggle girls' clothing stores would take a long time to choose from. How could she? Maybe you know what kind of clothes would suit Elaine

So Elaine has reason to be optimistic. Maybe she will help them choose clothes in the end.

It turns out that she was too naive.

After walking into the clothing store, faced with a large number of clothes, the two girls really had no idea where to start.

Hermione looked at the skirt for a long time, not knowing which one to choose. The lack of correct answers was the most difficult question for Miss Granger. She subconsciously picked up the clothing magazine and started to learn from it.

Daphne didn't know where to start, because the clothing in the wizarding world was very simple, that is, robes, robes and robes. Although she had chosen an evening dress when attending the dinner, the clothes for formal occasions were very different from casual clothes, and she was extremely confused now.

There were so many styles of clothing in this store, and there were all kinds of colors and patterns, which were very fancy. She really didn't know how to choose clothes that suited Elaine and conformed to the Muggle style.

Seeing this situation, Elaine was very proud, and she waited for Daphne or Hermione to come to her for help.

Or bring strange clothes over, she has already thought of a reason to refuse and ridicule the two of them.

But Daphne just glanced at her and walked to the counter.

"That's my sister." She went directly to the clerk and said, "She is going to meet her fiancé tomorrow. Can you please help her pick out some clothes that are good-looking, beautiful and can bring out the feminine taste? Everything is good, just a complete set. Yes, money is not an issue.”

"Oh, no problem, we will help her dress up beautifully, and we are sure to charm any man."

"I'm looking forward to it. Don't care what she says, she dresses like a man every day." Daphne sold Elaine with a smile, "Sorry to bother you."

"Little things, come on, dear, here are a few things that suit you"

"This one is pretty good. I'm sure you'll seduce your fiancé. Come on, let's try it."

"Wait a minute, fiance, what are you talking about─"

Before Elaine could react, two female store clerks walked up to her, quickly picked up a few pieces of clothing, and then pushed her and the clothes into the changing room.

"That's okay." Hermione looked up from the clothing magazine and looked at Daphne in surprise. “Who is Elaine’s fiancé?”

"I think I should be considered half a fiancé." Daphne replied calmly, "We will also meet Elaine tomorrow, so I didn't lie."

""

Thanks to the efforts of the store clerk, Hermione and Daphne easily enjoyed an Elaine dressing show without having to think or do anything.

In the end, after considering the opinions of all parties, including Elaine herself, the three bought clothes and left.

Without giving Elaine a chance to breathe, Daphne immediately pulled her into the next store after she found a secret place to send all the clothes she had bought to Nott.

Hermione watched sympathetically as Elaine was betrayed again. Although Elaine was wary, Daphne reacted very quickly, and with her mind-reading ability of Legilimency, she was able to render Elaine speechless in just a few words. I had to continue trying it on.

........After carrying the large and small bags out of the store, the expression on Elaine's face was as if she saw Malfoy showing off his power in front of her.

Sensing something was wrong, Daphne immediately said she wanted to have dinner, but Elaine didn't care, as she was the one paying the most.

So Daphne was quickly treated like Elaine just now, and Hermione was also dragged into the water.

Eventually, under the protest and leadership of Miss Granger, the three women reached a peace agreement and decided not to enter any clothing stores again.

After finishing their belated dinner, the three of them took a taxi home. Although Daphne still regretted not going to the midnight movie, Elaine and Hermione were too exhausted to accompany them.

"Mr. Speaker, thank you very much for your assistance. In addition, several people who harassed that day have been prosecuted. They will face short-term imprisonment of six months to two years. I hope this punishment will satisfy you."

After leaving Hermione and Daphne the next day, Elaine, who was still an adult, met a strange wizard in the study. He reported to Elaine respectfully.

"However, there are still some doubts from above about your application for living prisoners." He said hesitantly. "The main reason is that we have been disconnected for more than ten years. During this period, we have achieved nothing. The department is about to be abolished. Our current influence is very meager. Maybe if you can give me a little more of the magic potion from before."

The opponent holds a wand and can use Apparition, but he wears very ordinary Muggle clothes. He can't be distinguished among the crowd. If the wand is hidden, he will look like a real Muggle.

In fact, this was the case. This man did not belong to the wizarding world. After graduating from Hogwarts, he was directly employed by the British government and became a member of the British civil servants.

In 1692, as Muggles generally persecuted wizard children, forced wizards to use magic for them, discriminated against and stigmatized them, etc., the International Statute of Secrecy was fully implemented.

In addition to the strong promotion of the Ministry of Magic, the Muggle regime at the time also cooperated, the church tried its best, and various forces joined forces. Many wizards have severed ties with the Muggle world, even the powerful pure-blood nobles.

The wizards soon discovered that cutting off contact did not affect their lives. Growth spells and gluttony spells could speed up the growth of animals and plants and ensure food problems; transformation spells and power spells could allow items to move on their own and maintain production.

If you find it troublesome to take care of animals, or you are not good at using housework spells, then use the Disguise Charm and the Lockpicking Charm to "borrow" them from Muggles. The Secrecy Law stipulates that magic cannot be used "in front of" Muggles, so don't Wouldn't it be enough to be "in front of"?

You can hold up your wand and you won't starve to death. Galleons are mostly used to buy expensive magic materials, books, and equipment.

Hiding oneself and not caring about other people's eyes allowed wizards to use magic more unscrupulously, so wizards quickly accepted the current situation.

However, some habits from the Muggle world are still retained, such as anniversaries and spoken language.

For more than 200 years, the wizarding world was completely isolated. It was not until the World War in the 1920s that contact between the two sides was revived.

Grindelwald muddied the waters, and a few wizards took the opportunity to establish contact with the Muggle world. After learning about the existence of the wizarding world, the British government also secretly established a department to try to study magic and control this mysterious power, and even absorbed many outstanding talents. Wizards are mostly Muggle-born.

They have a budget, but they lack manpower and magical inheritance. There is no special channel to purchase magic materials, and they cannot communicate with the Ministry of Magic. They cannot achieve results.

Until several pure-blood families came to them, including the Shafiq family.

Therefore, even though 85% of the people were in favor of the death penalty, the British Parliament still passed the Abolition of the Death Penalty Bill in 1965.

Many prisoners received life sentences without parole, and then died of illness in prison...
