Chapter 686: Secret Talk in the Prime Minister’s Residence (2 in 1)
“How are you, Prime Minister.” Ms. Bones said with a serious look, “This is Felix Hap, he’s-”
“I am Professor of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” Felix said. The Prime Minister stood up and shook his hand hesitantly, his mind increasingly confused about Felix’s identity. A bodyguard or a confidant, perhaps?
Ms. Bones sat in the hard wooden chair directly opposite the Prime Minister and Felix sat next to her, fiddling with his fingers with his head slightly lowered, so the Prime Minister could only focus his gaze on Bones.
“Do you know?” The Prime Minister said with a poker face, “Although we have met twice, and including several times with Fudge before you, and even I have a portrait that picks its nose and yawns hanging behind my seat in my office every day …” his eyes bulged slightly. “But I still have a faint hope that perhaps you are a group of clever liars, or that I am delusional from the exhaustion I felt after countless painstaking efforts to sit on the Prime Minister’s seat …”
“Mr. Prime Minister -”
“I tried hard to hide everything, but all illusions were ruined today! The country is in chaos! Over fifty county governors have blown up the phones at the Prime Minister’s residence, reporting to me that there are a bunch of guys in fancy dress flying overhead and doing all sorts of magic tricks – a cow in Kent has leaped the Thames in full view of over two thousand people! Goodness, even my niece crying about the fact that the gerbil I gave her turned into a teacup and shattered, I have never been this helpless.
