I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 417
c412 Three months. Explosion and reversal
The long years make soft sounds on the black and white keys, and a waltz of time dances by alone.
Very interesting isn’t it? Regarding the passage of time, day by day, it seems that nothing has changed, but when we look back, everything is different.
Three months have passed since the theft of Gringotts…
However, what should have been a high-profile event suddenly became dispensable due to the invasion of fungi.
One early morning in late July, in a sea near Greenland in the Northern Hemisphere, a seal carcass floating on the water exploded without warning.
Of course, that’s not the point.
The point is that as the seal carcass explodes, countless invisible spores fill the air.
This seems to be a signal. All kinds of creatures in the Arctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean…all over the world have pressed the self-destruct button.
The sky, the sea, the land… aquatic animals, mammals, feathers, rodents, as long as there is no magic power in the body, without exception, all are parasitized on a large scale.
Of course, there are also a huge number of Muggles here.
Through remote satellites, the hell-like scenes are broadcast to all ecological cities, and everyone can clearly see the situation outside.
Previously, as the confusion spell was gradually lifted, other voices appeared in the ecological city, but now with the outbreak of disasters in the outside world, the voices of opposition have long since disappeared.
Everyone has no other thoughts except being happy.
On the other side, Grindelwald was not idle either. Many famous wizards, including Dumbledore, held a meeting to discuss the matter.
Finally, two weeks before the outbreak, the International Federation of Wizards made an extreme decision to use diluted wolfsbane on a large scale.
For two consecutive weeks, thanks to the efforts of countless wizards, about 30% of the Muggles survived.
You must know that this is only 30% of 2 billion, and 600 million lives have been saved.
And in the next month, killing, desire, greed… countless ugliness of human nature continued to be staged.
What’s ridiculous is that the cause of all this is not fungi, but the 600 million surviving ‘werewolves’…
The vitality and activity of fungi, and the strength and agility of wolfsbane, when combined, are like a chemical reaction, giving these survivors extraordinary powers.
What a ridiculous scene, but it’s the truth.
The characters of these abandoned survivors have basically become distorted after experiencing the test of life and death and the grief of losing their families.
Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.
Obviously there is a chance to survive, obviously they can enjoy a peaceful life… but they are ruthlessly ‘represented’ and become an abandoned part of their family, friends, children, partners…
How could one not feel resentful under such circumstances.
But this is a world where the mind dominates magic. Although the wolfsbane in the body is more of a blood curse, it is undeniable… it is also a real magical power.
…
The combination of various factors resulted in a situation that no one expected, and the survivors’ counterattack and revenge.
Although the Ministry of Magic of various countries have tried their best to suppress it, even if they pay a lot of casualties, it is still difficult to control the situation.
Sixty million survivors may seem loose in a world context, but how many wizards are there in the outside world? Even including the dumb guns, a total of 30 million is considered plenty.
With a ratio of twenty to one, under such a disparity, even if the Ministry of Magic of various countries tried their best, they could only guarantee the safety of a few hundred kilometers around the ecological city.
…
But there is an old saying that goes well, no matter whether there are landslides or floods outside, you still need to have a lunch.
Including Hogwarts, eleven wizarding schools still opened as scheduled on September 1st.
The difference is that most of the little wizards returning to school this time have sad faces. It is obvious that what happened during this summer vacation has frightened them.
Of course, pure-blooded little wizards are not included here. External events make these pure-blooded children extremely excited, like foals that have been suppressed for a long time and are suddenly released from their shackles, releasing endless energy.
Among them, Malfoy is the best.
Platinum blond hair, ironed and straight Slytherin robes, followed by Goyle and Crabbe who never left behind.
Today, Malfoy is undoubtedly in a good mood. The last batch of herbal medicines in the backlog were sold at a high price, and a dragon farm in Romania was also purchased by him with all shares.
This series of operations not only brings intuitive benefits, but also implicit fame.
The most obvious manifestation, perhaps even Malfoy himself didn’t know, was that he had rarely mentioned his father since a long time ago.
There is no need to rely on his father’s name, now he has become a card in his own right.
However, this happiness did not last long, and the scene in front of him made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
Not far from the corridor, Harry and Ron were walking towards them, followed by Ginny who had already entered fourth grade.
“There’s another disgusting redhead…” Malfoy couldn’t help but muttered as he passed by.
Facing Malfoy’s provocations, both Harry and Ron are almost used to it. If Malfoy stops looking for trouble one day, they will not adapt to it.
Before the two of them could reply, Ginny, who had always been obedient, had already stood in front of Malfoy and pushed back without any stage fright:
“Are you jealous? Yes! The poor Malfoys can’t even play a game of Crackle… Oh yes! They also have house elves, who can barely make up four people.”
“Pfft…hahahaha.” Harry couldn’t hold back and laughed directly.
As an older brother, Ron also responded promptly: “Don’t do this, Ginny! You can’t insult house elves, how can you compare Malfoy to them?”
Faced with such a sharp counterattack, a year ago, Malfoy might have drawn his wand.
But at this moment, he looked at Harry as if he hadn’t heard anything, and said sympathetically: “I feel so sad for you… What do you think you do when you stay at someone else’s house for a whole summer vacation? They are just pitying you.”
As this saying goes, it is the same with killing people.
It stimulated Harry’s self-esteem, and at the same time alienated the relationship between Harry and the Weasley family. After all, once sympathy is mixed between friends, the friendship will no longer be pure.
Hearing this, not only Harry, but Ron also blushed, and now he wanted to refute Malfoy’s words. But… in desperation, I couldn’t think of a good reason.
On the other hand, Ginny, after hearing this, immediately held Harry’s hand, then stood up on tiptoes and stamped Harry’s cheek like a demonstration.
“Is there anything wrong with Harry living with me? I say you should worry about yourself. There are werewolves everywhere now. If you are not careful, you Malfoy family should be expelled.”
