Seeing something that can not be understood, Emily with a mooncrescent eyes, tilting the tip of her nose decorated with a little of pearl-like luster, slightly close to those silver small letters. When she was sure that she did not see wrong, her thin and abstract face transmits confusion.
Amelia did not make a fuss. She picked up the inkwell placed on her desk, which had little space, along with the tilted woolen pen inserted inside, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a line of words on a piece of paper.
Later, this girl who had graduated from Ifarmony less than a year ago quietly stood up, pulled open one of the boxes that looked like a microwave that seemed to be used by mundanes on the shelf behind her.
Amelia pulled the door of microwave, put the note into it, turned the knob to the right place, pressed a red button, accompanied with a fleeting light of fire, the note she put in disappeared.
Although he was chatting with Madam Hufflepuff, at least eighty percent of Amostar's attention was on the young girl, and because of Amostar, Remus was also secretly observing her. They both noticed Amelia's actions and could probably guess what she was doing, but they didn't mention it.
The reply came back quickly. With the hum of the box, the fire light swept over the black belly of the microwave again, and a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air.
Amelia even hurriedly opened the microwave door, held it up to the light, and scanned the contents of the document at a glance.
"Blackwood wand, 12 inches, wand core is dragon heartstring--"
"Thanks, reminder."
"Amelia is the most outstanding witch I've ever met; she figured out all these procedures in a week, while the last idiot took half a year and still couldn't get the office pigeonhole to work properly!"
"Oh, Amelia, I told you sometimes you don't need to be so picky--"
Amelia and Mandy looked at each other, both a little disbelieving.
"Thank you both very much for standing up for me and defending my rights."
Remus twitched his lips, without commenting on Amostar's statement, he looked at Amelia·det, and suddenly saw a few shades of Hermione·Grandjean in her.
"Trax Greyvise."
"How, Amelia, are you done already?"
"Oh!"
"A copy of the backup official documents from the security department, signed by Mr. Greyvise, requesting Mr. Brain to hand over his wand upon entry and always be accompanied by someone during this time."
This is something that everyone is aware of, but everyone except Amostar feels indignant for him.
Amostar nodded.
Mrs. Hufflepuff said with a stern expression, stepping towards the microwave, "I'm going to send a note to inquire about this. One cannot ignore the law just because Greyvise's family wields power in Congress. He has no right to make such a decision, not even Chairman Kowhag is allowed!"
"Too absurd!"
Amostar walked over and stopped Mandy from writing a note. He nodded and thanked the two congressional officials he had first seen, smiling gently.
"Although I myself cannot understand the decision made by the Ministry of Magic, I believe that they must have considered it carefully before making such a decision. Therefore, I believe that Mr. Greyvise would not easily be swayed."
"The Ministry of Magic wants to seize your wand, Mr. Brain?"
Afterwards, Amelia promptly handed over the letter she had received, speaking in a low voice,
Mandy's voice was both shocked and confused, as if she couldn't believe what she had seen.
"How can they do this? Oh, is there a mistake somewhere, Amelia?"
Watching Amelia rapidly preparing her identification, Amostar seemed to be lost in thought. As he was flipping through a small notebook, he suddenly said,
Amostar raised his eyebrows, and Remus's face darkened as well. About the first clause of the order issued by the American Ministry of Magic Safety, they had already known it, but about the second clause...
What does that mean?
Does the American Magic Congress Safety Department consider Amostar·Braith as a criminal? Are they planning to detain Amostar·Braith?
Mrs. Hufflepuff exclaimed, staring fiercely at the document as if trying to find traces of vomit on it to prove that the wizard who issued the document had a fuzzy mind due to drinking too much Firewhiskey. But after checking, everything was normal.
"I don't know exactly what's going on, Mr. Braith, but as I said, the Greyvise family was one of the twelve who initially followed Chairman Josiah Jackson to establish the Ministry of Magic. They have a lot of influence within Congress and the ability to control many key decisions. If you're here to accomplish something, that is."
"Mandy--"
Amelia knew that Mrs. Hufflepuff misunderstood. She raised the letter she had received in her hand and Amostar's receipt, cautiously looked at Amostar·Braith, whose eyes were full of concern.
"Maybe you should look at this, they—"
"Remus furrowed his brow, he stepped forward to say something, but Amostar raised his hand to stop him. He smiled calmly."
"That's correct, we were informed beforehand."
Amelia blushed, but she didn't defend herself; she merely silently placed her wand back on the balance scale.
hesitated for a moment, Mandy whispered,
Amelia took a deep breath, as if she needed great courage to do so. But she still looked at Amostar with a serious face.
"This doesn't match the information on your entry application. Your wand should be..."
Amostar's arm trembled slightly, and a wand fell into his hand. He then handed the wand to Mandy and Amelia in front of them.
Amelia's breathing grew slightly urgent, she pursed her lips and looked at Amostar. Then, she sought help with a look at Mandy, but Mandy was still in a bad mood because of the strict treatment of her family by the Ministry of Magic, and didn't notice Amelia's look.
"Mandy--"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brain--"
Amostar slapped his head and blinked innocently. Another wand on the left side of his sleeve slid down again, and he handed it to Amelia.
"I'm sorry, I forgot I have two wands. I change between them occasionally."
Amelia placed the wand on the scale, and the machine began to vibrate slightly. A narrow parchment flew out quickly from a slot at the bottom, Amelia tore off the paper, and read the words on it.
"Maple wood, nine inches long, wand core is phoenix feather."
Mandy looked at Amelia with a slightly reproachful expression.
"Remus whispered to Amostar in a low voice,"
"He is the same official who had previously rejected our multiple applications for sales license approval."
Amostar nodded slightly, as he had heard Remus talk about these things several times before.
Amelia hesitated to look at Amostar. The order from the upper echelons seemed unassailable, but at the same time, she also believed in Mandy's view that there was no legal basis for this order at all and it was "madness".
As if realizing something was wrong, Mrs. Hufflepuff hurried over, first picking up Amostar's entry receipt and looking at it. Under Amelia's prompt, she quickly noticed the problem.
Mrs. Hufflepuff asked, she was excitedly telling Amostar and Remus,
Amelia took the wand from Amostar with a look of reverence and then, holding the wand, walked to behind the office desk to a filing cabinet, from which she moved out an alchemical machine made of brass that was similar to a single-pan balance.
Confiscating the wand and accompanying him to entry, this is treatment that only applies to criminals or suspects, but Amostar·Braith's current status, why would he willingly accept such harsh conditions?!
Even the employees of the Ministry of Magic in the United States, including Mandy and Amelia, who were hired by Amostar·Braith, had a hard time accepting that such distinguished wizard was treated this way.
"Lawlessness!"
"Then--"
Amelia first looked at Mr. Amostar·Braith with a trace of confusion, and then softly called out.
Seeing that the information matched, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. She placed the two letters and two wands into a small wooden box and then locked it with magic.
"Can I help you convey a request to the Ministry of Magic?"
