Fifth Avenue is the most famous street in New York.
On this street, there is the densest skyscraper complex in the world, and there are many attractions that Muggles are familiar with
Empire State Building, Central Park, Rockefeller Center.
They are all witnesses to the rise of the city.
For this reason, Fifth Avenue is also known as the Street of Dreams.
Now there has not been the attack that shocked the world in later generations, and people are still immersed in the prosperity of their dreams.
The day after Christmas is Boxing Day.
This day is the craziest day for people to shop. Merchants also offer big discounts and make a fortune.
And today, Alvin also came here with Cassandra.
For Cassandra, shopping in the Muggle world is a very novel experience.
In other words, it is very rare to buy things' personally.' Generally, whatever she needs, the family will prepare for her.
But after being pulled here by Alvin today, she suddenly realized the joy of shopping.
Put on a piece of beautiful clothes, watching Alvin's admiring eyes.
Cassandra gradually entered the state.
A woman seems to have a natural gift for shopping. It doesn't take long before she can ask the clerk for the size of the clothes and the color of the lipstick with a familiar face.
As a male companion, Alvin has become a bag boy.
Whenever he came out of a store, he always had a big bag on his body, found a place where no one was around, and stuffed it into the space pocket.
Some women envied Cassandra for finding such a rich and handsome boyfriend.
You must know that the merchants on Fifth Avenue are all famous luxury brands worldwide. They don't have any assets, so they really dare not come here.
The buy-buy-buy activity continued until noon, and Cassandra still remembered the business.
The purpose of coming here today is not to shop but to take Alvin to the MACUSA.
The two had a casual lunch and headed to the Woolworth Building not far away.
This is also the reason why the two came back to Fifth Avenue because the MACUSA is here.
Historically, the MACUSA has been relocated five times, making it the largest in the world.
Initially, a group of twelve Aurors sent from England set up an impromptu meeting, each at an indeterminate location.
As a result, many people want to find a job at the MACUSA and can't find anyone.
So they built a large magical structure in the Appalachian Mountains.
But new problems have appeared again. The location is too remote, and it is inconvenient for the staff to commute to and from get off work.
MACUSA officials also staged a general strike.
In desperation, they had to change the address again.
And the next time, several of the MACUSA's strongholds didn't exist for too long because of the purgers or leakers.
It wasn't until 1892 that the MACUSA suddenly believed that the most dangerous places were the safest places.
They chose to live with Muggles, so they opened up a space belonging to the wizarding world in the Woolworth Building, the tallest building in New York at the time.
And has continued to this day.
At the main entrance of the building, there is a glass door with an 'under maintenance' sign in front of it.
People who come and go here are used to it.
For decades, they hadn't seen the glass door work properly.
The property that manages this building must have embezzled maintenance funds.
Cassandra and Alvin took advantage of the crowd, quietly approached the glass door, and entered a new world.
Not Woolworth Hall, but... MACUSA Hall.
In the grand hall, the skylights are so high that they can't be seen. Countless wizards are busy running around here.
"This is our invitation to Mr. Gaunt to visit the MACUSA."
Cassandra went to the registration desk and handed over the invitation his grandfather gave them yesterday.
The witch on there took it over, took a closer look, and stamped a seal on it.
"If the mark on it glows, it means you can't go in there."
After a few words, the witch returned the invitation.
In fact, according to the rules, everyone who comes to the MACUSA should hand in their wand for inspection.
Apparently, this invitation saved them the formalities.
Alvin looked at the most conspicuous part of the hall, where a huge turntable was high up with the words engraved on it.
Magic exposure threat level.
The pointer of the turntable points to 'General.'
This watch is similar to the Weasley family's wall clock.
Cassandra returned to him and said softly. "This pointer has been pointing slightly before."
"My dad said that the hour hand pointed to danger the night Grindelwald fled Nurmengard."
"And after that, the pointer has been pointing to general."
"The night Grindelwald escaped?"
Alvin raised his eyebrows, and he seemed to understand something.
Muggles live not far from Nurmengard, and many Muggles will likely discover the battle between him and Grindelwald that night.
So the exposure level will increase.
As for the later battle between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, it didn't matter.
After all, Durmstrang was in the middle of nowhere, and it would be fine even if the sky were overturned.
Alvin took two steps, trying to figure out how the clock worked.
But in the end, he could barely see the alchemy skills involved, but the magic involved was a little confusing.
Alvin can't directly dismantle this watch.
Inexplicably, his heart was a little unhappy.
It's not because he can't figure out the principle and structure of this clock but because he is a little dissatisfied with the wizard's hidden behavior.
Why do people who master extraordinary power need to live in a dark corner?
There is also a special "Muggle Protection Act."
"Cassandra, what do you think of this magic exposure level setting?"
Cassandra didn't know why but replied. "I think it's good. This can effectively protect the interests of both Muggles and wizards."
"If there were no protection laws, many evil wizards would enjoy torturing Muggles."
After listening to this, the depression in his heart became even heavier.
Even Cassandra's arrogant temperament took it for granted.
It seems that dividing the Muggle world has become the consensus of the wizarding world.
