Harry Potter's Bastard

America has always been synonymous with openness, but that was for Muggles. If you're a wizard, you'll find that your counterparts on the American side are extremely conservative.

The reason why the wizarding society in the United States is so conservative is largely "attributed" to history. Like wizarding in other places, wizards and Muggles in the United States have a tendency to infiltrate each other, but unlike the ridiculous "burn witch" joke in Europe, there are really a large number of wizards in the United States who have been persecuted or even died.

You know, most of the wizards who immigrated here were wizards who weren't used to being in Europe: they were unhappy and depressed by the rules and regulations of the ministries of magic restricting wizards, and they thought that maybe it would be better to move to another place.

The New World was indeed a paradise of "freedom" for a certain period of time – and it lasted for a while. Until the exposure of the infamous "Salem Wizard Case". Wizarding society in the United States has since become extremely conservative, and even any interaction between wizards and Muggles is not allowed - it is a crime written into the law.

The rules and regulations here are much more serious than in Europe, and it can be seen from the ridiculous "wand license" that the control of wizards here is much stricter than in Europe.

It is true that the Selwyns can "ignore" certain rules, but it is obviously unrealistic to completely let themselves go. After all, in terms of rank, the Magic Council and the Council of Elders are at the same level, and even Selwyn still has to act under these rules before he is ready to completely tear his face apart.

Woolworth Building - This is the seat of the Wizarding Congress. It shares the same entrance as the Muggles, and Selwyn's temporary home is on the Muggle side, except that the Muggles on the level where Selwyn live will never be visible.

"In other words......" Solim walked to another window and looked down, directly below the entrance to the building, "turn right and you're the Ministry of Magic...... Uh, the Magic Congress?"

"That's right. "

"That's pretty convenient. Solim nodded, then turned to look at Elrond, "So what exactly is it for calling me here this time? just for a banquet? I guess it's not that simple, right?"

Solim naturally didn't want to come, but unfortunately, he didn't have the right to refuse, and he had to obey the arrangement no matter what.

"To familiarize you with the work ahead. Elrond looked at Solim meaningfully.

"Future ...... Work?" Solim licked his lips.

"You don't think you'll be able to do whatever you want after graduating from that school, do you?" Elrond said in a tone of course, "The family will arrange an errand for you, now it's for you to familiarize yourself with it in advance." "

For the people of the big family, every member is a pawn used to protect the interests of the family, and the important members occupy important positions, and the unimportant members occupy unimportant positions, which is justified - in the eyes of wizards.

Solim clearly had a certain amount of influence within the Selwyn family, especially after the rearing of the Riem cattle was transferred to his name. Now that Solim is still a minor, Elrond will take care of it, but when he becomes an adult, he will take over the business and help the family maintain their interests in the Americas.

"That means—" Solim blinked, "-when I graduate, I'll come here for a long time?"

After receiving Elrond's affirmative answer, Solim was a little confused for a moment.

It wasn't quite what he had in mind.

In Solim's opinion, he is a rookie who has just graduated...... Well, even if the stocking field is in his name, no one will think that it is his Solim's personal stuff, and anyone with a clear mind knows very well that Solim is just a lucky, or unlucky, person who was put in front of the stage, and the right to speak is still in the hands of the Selwyn family. The proceeds of the site must have belonged to the Selwyn family, so it made sense that they would send someone to supervise and control the Ryan Am cattle herd farm of immeasurable value.

In fact, that's exactly what the Selwyns did.

Selwyn's current representative here is Elrond, and it is understandable that he is acting on Solim's behalf as his guardian, but when Solim comes of age, this power will be returned to Solim himself based on rules and agreements.

"You don't have to worry about too much. The first half of Elrond's sentence is fine, but the second half of the sentence is full of resentment: "The family's current focus is still on the European side, and when you graduate, I will not leave this place, but assist you in dealing with this side of the matter." "

"But...... Grandpa, don't you have a job?"

Elrond was originally in charge of inspecting the various seals in Europe, but when things progressed to a certain extent, he was transferred to this side by his family.

"Think about what my two brothers do. "

Yes, Lesotho and Bred are Elrond's elder brothers, but at the same time they are the leaders of Elrond, one is the head of the Dangerous Resettlement Committee, and the other is the head of the Logistics Department of the Dangerous Resettlement Committee, and they are responsible for the management of seals, so Elrond is under their control.

It can be said that the departments under these two elders' councils are managed by the Selwyn family, and adjusting Elrond's job position is a family matter for Selwyn.

"Those two bastards wiped out all the work I've done in the past few years with a single word. Elrond was angry when he talked about this, obviously he had done a lot of "private work" during the seal inspection, and as a result, everything was ruined because of this side of the matter.

"By the way, I want to remind you that there are a lot of rules here, and you'd better hurry up and get used to it, lest someone catch some little tricks. It's not that good, but some people just use that to disgust you. "

Solim has a general understanding of what is going on on the American side.

The biggest difference between this and Europe is that you can't cast spells in a "no-cast zone", what is a "no-go zone"? a place with a lot of Muggles, a place with camera equipment...... In short, spellcasting is not allowed in places where Muggles may be found.

In Europe, you can even cast the "Muggle Expulsion Charm" on the streets, which is used to prevent Muggles from approaching a certain place – as was the case with the Leaky Cauldron Bar. But here, unless the Aurors are on a mission, no one or any place for wizarding activities: places like bars and the like are not allowed to use this spell, they would rather have a gatekeeper.

Of course, there is one of the biggest differences: there is an extremely disgusting group on the American side - the purges.
