I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 421

c415 Dumbledore’s Dilemma

The little wizards at Hogwarts all know that when the sweet smell of pumpkin fills the entire castle, it means that the annual Halloween is coming.

While everyone was actively preparing for the holiday dinner, in the principal’s office on the eighth floor, Dumbledore was staring at a letter in a daze.

The figure from behind seems to be standing still, but as long as you observe carefully, it is always difficult to ignore the slightly trembling hands.

It seemed that the letter weighed tens of thousands of pounds, so much so that even the greatest white wizard of the twentieth century could not bear its weight.

“The Panama Eco-City was blown open, and none of the 15.35 million Muggles were spared…”

Dumbley looked at the letter again, and just the first words he spoke made him feel the tragedy and sorrow in it again.

Thanks to the principle of population division, the seven small countries in Central America are Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.

The combined population of these countries is less than 50 million, so only two ecological cities have been planned, but they can still meet 60% of the population.

One of the cities happens to be located in Panama, which is also the cause of all tragedies. You must know that as the most rebellious country in the world, Panama, with an area of ​​75,000 square kilometers and a population of 4.4 million, has just come into conflict with the United States. More than 40 years.

Although it is a very weak country, for the sake of independence and territorial integrity, Panama used its tenacity and resistance in exchange for the autonomy of the Panama Canal, the most important waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Of course, many things have pros and cons. Panama’s blood and struggle are woven into its bones, but now this struggle… has led them to focus on eco-cities.

This is not an exaggeration at all. After losing everything, a person will become extremely extreme and even lose his mind. Survivors have lost their families, partners, children, property, and even the qualification to be called “people”… They urgently need a target for venting or revenge.

This is the principle of not worrying about scarcity but about inequality.

And they have not let down the struggle in their hearts. No… three tons of high explosives have simply taken the lead in the world and become the only ecological city that has been artificially destroyed.

Although it is just a little-known Central American city, it has also sounded the alarm to all Muggles. Many cities, led by some countries, have begun to clamor for the use of long-range nuclear weapons.

Of course, its function is more to deter wizards. After all, a trump card can only be called a trump card when it is not used. It will have no effect if played.

Remote control of the silo is the only remaining means for the Muggles, and it is also the only deterrent.

At this moment, the wizard really couldn’t sit still.

Even if it is a threat, everyone needs to worry about it, just in case it is true.

Grindelwald, the International Federation of Wizards, ministers of magic of various countries, principals of eleven magic schools, pure-blood families and famous wizards will hold remote meetings with Muggle dignitaries in Paris to discuss how to deal with survivors. .

Destroy or appease.

As the half-initiator of the whole thing, Dumbledore was also in a dilemma at this moment.

If Ian were here, he would definitely know that this is the ‘sequelae’ of white magic. Boundless love often brings about dilemmas, more than 600 million survivors, 4 billion Muggles…

No matter what choice you make, it will inevitably be followed by bloody killings.

Dumbledore put down the letter in his hand with a slight trembling, took off the half-moon glasses he had worn all year round, and then pressed his forehead tiredly.

“Why……”

With a complicated sigh, he didn’t blame anyone, and he was also not qualified to blame anyone, whether it was survivors or Muggles.

The former, revenge after losing everything, is understandable; the latter, having to give up part of it in order to survive, is also reasonable.

…

Different from the solemn and depressing atmosphere in the principal’s office, the castle fell into a light and joyful atmosphere at this moment.

For Halloween decoration, Professor Flitwick chose to decorate the entire auditorium with live bats as usual. Under the influence of magic, these bats were just hung on the walls or suspended in the air, and would not fly around and disrupt the dinner.

Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid still brought huge pumpkins this year, and with the help of Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration, these pumpkins were carved into various strange shapes.

A pumpkin cart that can accommodate three people, floating jack-o-lanterns, and even many pumpkins that were too late to make were quietly piled in the corner of the auditorium for the little wizards to use their imaginations.

Unlike in the past, the most interesting or scary thing this year is the giant spider hanging from the top of the auditorium porch. A giant striped golden spider with a length of three meters including its legs was lying on a twenty-foot-diameter spider web.

Different from the furry black widows and tarantulas, the biggest feature of these striped golden spiders is their long legs…the long legs of more than two meters hovering above the spider web, making it look like a spider with fangs and claws waiting for prey to come to its door. hunter.

With its gold and black leg lines and white patterned back, when viewed from below, the entire spider looks like a ferocious face, which always gives people a weird and absurd feeling.

According to two twins who did not want to be named, this giant spider was a special edition Halloween doll that they spent a week making. It was not only to promote the festive atmosphere, but also to satisfy the alternative hobbies of some wizards.

After all, their roommate and famous Hogwarts commentator, Jordan Lee, once had a palm-sized Tarantula.

the other side.

In the corridor outside the auditorium, Ron felt that the whole world was full of malice, the kind of malice directed at him.

“It’s just…what’s wrong with the professors? You have to put this thing at the entrance of the auditorium!”

Although he was frightened and turned pale, Ron still complained dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, Harry also suppressed a smile and said, “Who knows, maybe they want to try novel methods. After all, Halloween is pretty much the same every year.”

He knew that Ron was afraid of spiders, and with this style and creativity, Harry could guess without even thinking about it that it was the ‘care’ from Ron’s brother.

“Novel methods? Don’t they have anything to play with? They have to play with spiders… This kind of disgusting, scary, bad taste…”

“Shut up, haven’t you noticed that many people are looking at you?” Ginny interrupted Ron’s complaint. You must know that this is the corridor of the auditorium, and the countless probing eyes have already made her a little embarrassed.

After all, Ron’s pale face coupled with his trembling appearance was really eye-catching.

“Either you go in now for dinner, or you turn around and go back to the common room,” Ginny offered her faithful advice.

Ron was also a little annoyed with his sister’s attitude, and turned around decisively: “It doesn’t matter, I’m leaving now. I wish you a happy time!”

“Ignore him, no one will accommodate him.” Ginny reached out and grabbed Harry’s sleeve.

With the lively girl on one side and his good brother on the other, Harry hesitated for a second or so and let Ginny hold him in place instead of chasing Ron.

…

The banquet officially started at eight o’clock in the evening.

Unlike others, Ian was disrupted by a letter sent from Fox. The content was as simple as one sentence.

But this sentence caused him deep pressure.

“There are still four years…you are ready to give up your options now.” Ian muttered feebly.

After all, there is no delay in action. He also knew that for Dumbledore to take the initiative to put down Hogwarts, there must be something more important that restrained the old principal’s energy, otherwise he would not have asked Fox to call him to the office at the Halloween dinner.

I didn’t get home until after 10 o’clock, so there is only one update today. Moreover, Xiao Di plans to complete the application in about a week. Although there are still some pitfalls that have not been filled in, and he can still write 100,000 words, but for you readers, the ending has almost been decided, and Xiao Di will not be too hard. After writing it, try to be as concise and complete as possible.
