Harry Potter Blood Hunter

Chapter 452 Floo Network Administration

After a mission to another world, Braud's understanding of the Floo Network has reached a new height.

And there is a more accurate judgment on the importance of the Floo Network... that is, for Gaia, maybe wizards can be extinct, but the Floo Network must always be preserved.

Because that is the strongest tool for extending His will to other worlds.

Although there are no cards in Gaia's hand that can be attacked now! But it's still a deterrent!

So Browder also wanted to have a better understanding of the deeper structure of the Floo Network.

And where could this be done more quickly than the Ministry of Magic, which manages the Floo Network, and even switches it on and off?

Thickness agreed to Browder's request without thinking long.

He said that as long as Braud promised him not to mess around and the Floo network could not be turned off under any circumstances, then there would be no problem in researching the Floo network.

And didn't Browder also say that he could research the secret of floo powder?

Thinknes is also very curious about this secret!

The Floo Network Authority, an agency under the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Transport responsible for the establishment, maintenance, monitoring and management of the Floo Network.

Employees of the Authority have the right to observe and monitor Floo network connections and possibly listen in on conversations conducted over the Floo network. The person responsible for these tasks is called the Floo Network Administrator.

This allows for more efficient management of the Floo network, while preventing Muggle family fireplaces from being inadvertently connected to the Floo network (although temporary connections can be established in emergencies).

However, the Floo Network Administration is a relatively independent... clean and honest department. The employees who want to work here are only slightly higher than those who go to Azkaban, and they belong to the penultimate number of volunteers within the Ministry of Magic.

Because Floo fans are the only ones who can make money on the Floo network!

But it was made by a very private company, a truly exclusive business, and had nothing to do with the Floo Network Administration except that some commercial taxes would be paid directly to the Ministry of Magic.

Because the exact composition of Floo powder has been kept strictly secret, if someone from the Ministry of Magic made the company decide not to sell Floo powder in this country because of threats,

The impact of that may cause the Ministry of Magic to close its doors and replace people in public opinion.

The maker of Floo powder was a 13th-century witch named Ignatia Wildsmith.

Oh, and she's still a Ravenclaw.

Floo nets and fireplaces existed before this very clever witch invented floo powder, but they weren't exactly safe.

Because the flame in the fireplace is no different from ordinary flames, unless it is transformed into mist by apparation, there is no way to use it at all.

The fireplace linked to the Floo network can only allow wizards using Apparation to reach their destinations more accurately.

After all, until now, it has often happened that wizards get lost in the Floo network.

And wizards who couldn't use Apparation naturally couldn't use the Floo Network alone at the time.

Perhaps at the time, this was a kind of hegemony belonging to the Ministry of Magic... because the practice of apparation required the permission of the Ministry of Magic, and it was not something you could learn if you wanted to.

But the appearance of Floo Powder changed all that.

This powder, when sprinkled in the fireplace, will change the flames in the fireplace from ordinary high-temperature flames to green and harmless magical flames.

And this green magic flame is like opening an entrance on the Floo network, protecting wizards who cannot disapparate from entering the Floo network.

Traveling with Floo powder is faster than traveling on a broomstick, but slower than Apparating.

However, permission is not required to use Floo Powder.

When using floo powder, it is also possible to place only a part of the body into the green flame, teleporting that part to another location for direct communication.

Therefore, relying on such convenience, Floo fans quickly became popular in all places where there are wizards.

Perhaps at the beginning, the Ministry of Magic all over the world severely cracked down on this "illegal powder", and ordinary wizards were strictly prohibited from using it.

However, how could ordinary wizards resist something that was good for them?

Even in turn, they will help merchants who sell Floo powder to avoid the Ministry of Magic's arrest.

So, when Floo fans become popular, the Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with it.

And after several centuries of development, Floo fans can no longer part with this world.

However, such a convenient and exclusive business has of course attracted the curiosity of countless wizards.

But since the 13th century, wizards who have tried to make their own Floo powder, no matter what their intentions, have never been able to do so.

The St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness in the UK alone receives and treats at least one case of being admitted to the hospital every year because of using the fake floo powder developed by itself.

Therefore, Floo fans can already be called one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the entire wizarding world!

It's still the top one.

When Browder was brought to the Floo Network Administration by Thinknes' assistant, there were no staff there.

There was only one director, and it was a lady.

Mrs. Aikemo is the director of the Floo Network Administration, but this idle position makes her have no dignity at all. She was very enthusiastic when facing the trusted assistant of Minister Thicknesse, and she was even more enthusiastic when she learned that the big man Brod Lestrange wanted to intern here.

The internship or something, of course, was an excuse Thickness made for Browder, otherwise there would be more rumors if he told others that Browder Lestrange wanted to study the secrets of the Floo Network.

So it's better to keep a low profile.

Even this trusted assistant thought so. Because that's what Minister Thinknes told him just now.

Moreover, this trusted assistant didn't think there was anything wrong with Broud Lestrange coming to the Ministry of Magic for an internship, on the contrary, he thought it was normal.

After all, Mr. Broud Lestrange is a super hardcore supporter of the minister. If he enters the Ministry of Magic in the future, won't he be able to rise to the top, or even go straight to the sky?

And if you want to get a high position directly after graduation, such internship experience is essential.

Otherwise why is Percy so excited now?

Browder didn't say much, but after showing enough respect to Mrs. Aikemo, the director, he asked her to arrange a position for him.

Although Browder is now nominally just an intern under Mrs. Aikemo, Mrs. Aikemore still smiles because of Browder's respect.

Mrs. Aikemo, who has been the director of the Floo Network Administration for nearly ten years, once thought that her department was dispensable.

But after the last time Minister Thicknesse and Principal Dumbledore jointly succeeded in eliminating a part of Voldemort by shutting down the Floo network, Mrs. Eckmore suddenly woke up.

My own department is actually a very critical strategic department!

If she doesn't adjust her position in the future and is still so lazy, she may not even be able to keep this position.

So Mrs. Eckmore became much more industrious afterward.

And the staff under her were also inspired by what she said at the time. But it was a three-minute fever, and within a few days, most people became lazy again.

But in this way, Mrs. Aikemo can see clearly who needs to be replaced and who can be promoted.

Anyway, Mrs. Aikemo is also a bureau chief, and she still has enough rights in her three-acre land.

The work of the Floo Network Administration is divided into three parts: maintenance, monitoring, and management, of which monitoring is the most arduous, followed by maintenance, and management is the lightest.

Mrs. Aikemo arranged for Browder to be of course management work, as long as he copied the reports. This is Mrs. Eckmore, who has found Browder the easiest job.

In Mrs. Aikemo's mind, Browder was here for gilding, and of course such a job would be the most suitable.

But Browder didn't come here to copy the report, but to face the Floo Network more intuitively.

So after thanking Mrs. Aikemo for her special care, Browder said that he wanted to participate in the monitoring work.

As far as the main body of the monitoring work is concerned, it is to prevent the fireplaces of Muggle families from being accidentally connected to the Floo network and cause danger. However, when necessary, the specific use of some fireplaces can be monitored after receiving an order from the minister.

It seems that in the original time and space, Fudge had people monitor all the fireplaces in Hogwarts.

Mrs. Aikemo really didn't understand what Browder was thinking. After all, the most comfortable job was assigned to him. He quit, but wanted to do the hardest job.

Just facing Browder's unquestionable smile, Mrs. Aikemo found him a job according to Browder's request.

In a small monitoring room, Mrs. Aikomo personally taught Browder how to monitor the Floo network.

Every fireplace connected to the Floo network will form a fixed entrance and exit in the colorful Floo network.

And after obtaining the permission of the Ministry of Magic, such entrances and exits will be clearly marked.

A Muggle fireplace accidentally connected to the Floo network would not have this symbol.

In this monitoring room, there is a small fireplace, which is also connected to the Floo network.

But the biggest difference of this small fireplace is that the entrance and exit of this small fireplace are not fixed in the Floo network, and can be controlled to move in the Floo network.

The monitoring work is to move back and forth across the UK through such controllable Floo network entrances, looking for fireplaces without permission signs... basically Muggle fireplaces.

Mrs. Aikemo's explanation was very specific, and Browder quickly understood how to use it.

After Browder understood the method, he also became interested in such a small fireplace.

I don't know what kind of principle is such a movable small fireplace entrance and exit!

After confirming that Browder had learned how to monitor, Mrs. Aikemo left on her own.

She is a little confused now... Looking at Mr. Brad Lestrange's actions just now, it seems that he will really work hard.

It's not like it's going to be gilded!

Or is it just pure interest and want to play?
