Scotland, Hogwarts. The Headmaster's office on the eighth floor of the castle once again became a temporary meeting room.

Since Aileen entered school, similar situations have not been uncommon. Whether it was a school-wide staff meeting, negotiations between the Ministry of Magic and the school, or even visits from Gringotts goblins and the school board of directors, all had happened several times.

However, this time, the focus of the debate did not fall on Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster.

"Mr. Scamander!? I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Umbridge narrowed her eyes and said in a shrill voice, with a cold, fake smile on her face.

"Establishing an agency completely independent of the Ministry of Magic? This seems quite different from what we discussed before. Are you dissatisfied with the current work of the Ministry, or is there a slight deviation in your understanding of the whole matter?"

Beside Umbridge, Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, also looked rather displeased.

Just a few minutes before, Newt Scamander had unhesitatingly rejected his invitation to "rehire" him, even though Fudge had raised the stakes to Senior Deputy Minister and Head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, he still couldn't change Newt's attitude in the slightest.

"Mr. Scamander, starting a new wizarding association is one thing, but you actually expect the Ministry of Magic to actively comply with the new rules you've set. Then what's the point of the Ministry of Magic? You might as well just take over the functions of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures!"

"To be precise, there should be a total of four organizations." Newt Scamander nodded earnestly, answering in a calm tone.

"But you're right, after the association is established, the functions of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures should indeed be divided somewhat."

"Mr. Scamander! Do you know what you're saying?"

The smile on Umbridge's face could no longer be maintained, and she said coldly.

"Can I understand that you are planning to re-establish a Ministry of Magic yourself?!"

"Respected Deputy Minister, I never said that."

Newt glanced at Umbridge and answered faintly, "As I said before, the purpose of establishing the Magical Creatures Association is to regulate magical creature-related laws from a neutral position."

"If it is still subordinate to the British Ministry of Magic, then what about other countries?"

Newt Scamander shook his head, his gaze unwavering as he looked directly at Umbridge's face.

"It's just establishing a worldwide association, how did it become re-establishing a Ministry of Magic in your mouth? Besides, if the position cannot be neutral, how can wizards living in other countries comply and respond?"

"Mr. Scamander, your ideas are a bit too idealistic."

A Ministry of Magic official frowned and retorted, "But I must remind you that this is not the Gobstones Club! The influence of magical creatures in the magical world is too extensive. You hope to establish a global association to regulate the entire magical creature-related field, thereby changing the status quo – you really don't understand politics and human nature. As the Magical Creatures Association expands, you will control too much. Can you guarantee that there will be no problems?"

"I cannot guarantee, or rather, I don't think there is any institution in this world without hidden dangers."

Newt Scamander paused slightly and continued to answer calmly.

"But if something unexpected really happens, there are still the Ministries of Magic of various countries, the International Confederation of Wizards, the International Magical Trading Standards Association, the Wizengamot International Wizarding Court, and thousands of wizards in the magical world. They will bring everything back on track."

"Once rules are formed, there will be a reference point to abide by, revise, and overthrow. That is the key."

"Is that so? So you are the one who makes the rules?"

Umbridge snorted coldly, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Magical Creatures Association, Magical Creatures Protection Association, Magical Creatures Council, and… um, Magical Creature Product Safety Management Supervision Association, so many new institutions with different focuses, don't you think you need to carefully consider them?"

"Didn't the magical world have magical creature-related fields before these associations were created?"

Newt asked back with a hint of surprise.

Over the years, humanity and nature have long formed many unspoken tacit understandings and symbiotic laws.

In Newt Scamander's view, he was just compiling some basic rules suitable for everyone to know, and using laws and regulations to allow more wizards to treat those magical creatures correctly.

Moreover…

After a slight pause, Newt Scamander glanced at Umbridge and replied meaningfully.

"In my opinion, even if the Ministry of Magic disbanded the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures overnight, it would probably not immediately affect the existing magical creature-related situation in the magical world – as far as I know, apart from executing dangerous magical creatures and confiscating fines from those sporadic wizards who engage in illegal magical creature trading, the Ministry hasn't had much other work to do lately."

"Slander! Nonsense!"

"Mr. Scamander, what do you mean?!"

…

As Newt Scamander's voice fell, many Ministry of Magic officials gathered in Dumbledore's office couldn't help but retort, and the wizards in charge of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures even stood up excitedly.

If it weren't for the fact that Newt had also served in the Ministry of Magic, they would even…

Even… even…

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that they couldn't do anything…

After all, in today's magical world, although Newt Scamander is not as strong as Dumbledore in terms of magical power, he is probably not too far behind, and his overall strength may even be maintained better.

As a top Magical Creatures Master, he has a good relationship with many magical creature groups and rare creatures.

Although he is a bit introverted, Newt Scamander perfectly demonstrates the excellent qualities of Hufflepuff House. In terms of his circle of friends, he is not inferior to Dumbledore, and is even somewhat better.

This is also one of the reasons why the Ministry of Magic is wary of Newt. Newt has too many friends.

If so many neutral organizations related to magical creatures were really established around the world according to Newt Scamander's proposal, there might really not be many opportunities for the British Ministry of Magic to intervene in the future.

In fact, in recent years, the influence of the British Ministry of Magic in the magical world has been greatly reduced.

Just as the Ministry of Magic officials were in a frenzy, preparing to seize the few remaining powers…

"Ahem, everyone, stop for a moment."

Dumbledore, who had been sitting quietly behind the headmaster's desk listening to the debate, cleared his throat.

Dumbledore shook his head, a light flashing in his azure blue eyes, and said with a smile.

"Everyone, please restrain yourselves a little. Don't always think about things too far, too big, and too complicated – the reason why everyone was invited to Hogwarts today to organize this meeting is to communicate with each other and reach a consensus, so that there will be no more misunderstandings and conflicts in subsequent work, right?"

"I've been listening for a while, and I understand your points of view. Actually, they are not in conflict."

"Well, I'll speak a few fair words from an outsider's point of view first."
