Harry Potter and the Old Ones

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

The female voice spoke again.

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

Tierra watched the sidewalk rise higher and higher outside the glass windows of the phone booth until it was dark above them.

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

"The Ministry of Magic wishes you a pleasant day." The woman's voice sounded again.

The door of the phone booth flung open, and "Ghidro Lockhart" went out first, followed by Tierra.

They stood at the end of a long, resplendent hall with a dark, polished wooden floor. The peacock-blue ceiling is inlaid with gleaming gold symbols, constantly moving and changing, like a giant bulletin board in the sky.

The walls were paneled with dark, glossy black wood, and many gilt fireplaces were built into the wood panels. Every few seconds, with a soft pop, a wizard popped out of one of the fireplaces to the left. And on the right, there are several people waiting in line at each fireplace to leave.

In the middle of the foyer is a fountain. A group of pure gold statues, larger than real people, stood in a circular pool of water. The tallest of them all was a dignified wizard, with his wand raised high, pointing directly at the sky. Surrounding him are a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house-elf. The centaurs, goblins, and house-elves all looked up at the two wizards with admiration. Glittering jets of water shot from the tip of the wizard's wand, from the centaur's arrowhead, from the tip of the goblin's hat, and from the house-elf's ears.

There was the splashing of water, the popping and popping of apparitioners, and the chaotic footsteps of hundreds of wizards and wizards. With the dead morning expression on their faces, they strode toward the set of golden doors at the far end of the hall.

"Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart?" came a thin voice.

Tierra and Gilderoy Lockhart looked along the source of the sound——

Cutting through the crowd, a short and fat witch came towards them with big strides.

The witch has a broad, flabby face, a small black velvet bow in her short curly hair, and a fluffy pink cardigan over her fat body.

danger!

Great danger!

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Lockhart." The witch rushed towards Gilderoy Lockhart and Tierra like a pink toad.

Before Tiera could react, "Ghidro Lockhart"'s hand was already held by the pink toad.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Lockhart. My name is Dolores Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister of Magic." Umbridge shook Gilderoy Lockhart's hand vigorously and said .

Then when Tierra was stunned by the smell of Umbridge's perfume, Umbridge suddenly bent down to look at Tierra——

"Papa--"

Umbridge reached out and patted Tierra's face twice, then squeezed it hard again.

"Surely this is our little Mr. Lockhart, Tierra, right?" Umbridge stared at Tierra with a smile——

【This damned little Mudblood can actually be listed as a adoptive father like Gilderoy Lockhart! 】

Tierra heard Umbridge speak inwardly.

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

Strides towards the Ministry of Magic checkpoint

"I have 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 stepped on in an instant——

Tierra seemed to see that staff member's fur exploded.

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

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

"My wand is ruined," said Tierra to Gilderoy Lockhart. "Sacrificed during the fight with the Dark Lord, and I haven't had time to buy a new one."

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

"Wand." The wizard at the security checkpoint said again.

Tierra handed over her wand. The wizard tossed it onto a grotesque brass machine that looked like a one-pan balance.

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

"Twelve inches, walnut wood, the core is Long Xinjian, and it has been used for two years. Is that right?"

"Yes." Tiera said.

"I'll keep this," said the wizard, poking the parchment into a small brass nail. "You take this back."

He thrust his wand into Tierra's hand.

"Thank you." Tiera thanked politely.

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

"Mr. Lockhart," said the security wizard, "Can you sign me?"

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

The wizard at the checkpoint was taken aback. He had no choice but to smile resentfully, then turned his body sideways, allowing Tierra to also walk in.

"I'll take you to the Department of Legal Enforcement 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 floor underground, where Professor Dumbledore and Minister Fudge Waiting for you there, you and they will go down the stairs to the courtroom on the tenth floor of the basement, from there the special floo net will go to the North Sea Fortress near Azkaban, and then you will take the Thestral carriage from the North Sea Fortress to Azkaban Caban."

Umbridge said obsequiously as he walked towards the elevator.

"Thank you, Madam Senior Undersecretary," said Tierra Jean "Ghidero Lockhart."

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

After the elevator arrived, Umbridge turned sideways and blocked the elevator door with his hand. After both "Ghidroy Lockhart" and Tierra entered the elevator, Umbridge followed into the elevator, and at the same time Closed the elevator doors before the other wizards and witches entered the elevator——

Only the Tierras and Umbridge were left in the elevator.

This made Tierra feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

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

The cold female voice sounded again, but Tierra thought it was like the gospel from heaven.

"Ghidro Lockhart" and Tierra impatiently walked out of the elevator room, and led by Umbridge to doorway 2-13 of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Hehehe, I'll wait for you here. After finishing the adoption process, I'll take you to the courtroom on the tenth floor underground to meet with Minister Fudge and Professor Dumbledore." Umbridge said with a smile, "After entering the trial Please leave Mr Lockhart Jr. to me before leaving the room."

"I like children very much. I believe we will become very good friends."

Shit!
