I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 424
c418 The threat and waiting of werewolves
“The life of Ian Titus, the youngest principal ever…”
“Let’s take a look at the thirteenth principal of Hogwarts, and the unknown romantic history hidden behind it…”
“Playing devil’s advocate, Principal Titus once made it clear that the molesting fly is a very rare magical animal…”
The Daily Prophet’s report was like a clear signal. After it, various newspapers and magazines began to report on this incident one after another.
Of course, although these media have different starting points, they all abide by the same benchmark, that is, they can be rosy, but they must not be black. This seems to be an implicit rule that firmly locks all media.
On the other hand, the reporting of this news is not limited to the local media in the British Isles.
Newspapers all over Europe and even the world have mentioned this matter, the difference is only in the length of the articles.
It is worth mentioning that not only wizard newspapers, but also Muggle media and radio stations are reporting on this incident.
This is easy to understand. After all, magic has been made public, and as the principal of only eleven magic schools in the world, and it is also a top-ranked school with a long history, it is even more impossible for others to ignore him.
…
As a person involved, Ian seemed to be staying out of the incident and just stayed peacefully in his cabin these days.
Just a thick stack of newspapers on the table seemed to prove that he was not really deaf to what was happening outside the window.
“It’s hard to believe you’d even think of visiting me now, Hagrid!”
Ian walked to the table carrying a plate of candies, put down the plate, and sat down on the chair opposite Hagrid.
“Hahaha! Professor Dumbledore told me that you are the principal chosen by the castle, and any wizard who is loyal to Hogwarts will not resist you.”
Hagrid said angrily, then used his carrot-thick fingers to pick up the butter toffee on the plate, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.
Here, Ian also picked up the candy on the table with a smile and tasted it slowly.
a long time.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Ian first glanced at the huge wardrobe in the corner, then looked at Hagrid with a cautious expression and asked:
“How has Lucy been doing during this time? Watch her so that no one finds out. You also know the situation outside. If anyone knows that there are werewolves hiding in Hogwarts, things will become very troublesome…”
Ian didn’t finish what he said, but his meaning was clearly expressed. Now not only Muggles, but also wizards have developed a vague fear of werewolves.
This is different from the previous wolfsbane infection. Nowadays, there are no more than thirty conflicts recorded. They are all struggles between the survivor werewolves and wizards. These werewolves are like chicken blood. Whenever they encounter wizards, they will attack without hesitation. , as if to exchange life for life.
Even if they pay several times the price, the surviving werewolves still choose not to leave alive, instead of just to infect the wizards like the werewolves in the past.
There is nothing more sad than a heart that dies, that’s it.
Ian also understands this. After all, they have lost everything, and their surviving lives seem to have become dispensable. Perhaps dying on the road of revenge is the greatest redemption and remembrance of their souls.
However, he knew better that the complexity of human nature was not limited to hatred.
Perhaps the surviving werewolves during this period will be determined to die, but as long as they wait quietly for a period of time, the surviving werewolves can regain friendship, family affection, and love in their lives…
Everything has two sides of the same coin. When you reap the benefits, you also get the corresponding price. Just like a barefoot person puts on brand new boots, while gaining dignity, the boots will also become new shackles.
Because of this, for the so-called werewolf threat, Ian knew that all he had to do was wait, waiting for them to put shackles on themselves, or let them gain the meaning of living.
Under such circumstances, any large-scale conflict will only intensify conflicts. You must know that peace is not a number of dozens or hundreds, but a total of 600 million survivors. Unless you risk everything and kill them all in one breath, hatred will become the main theme for hundreds of years to come.
These were just what Ian was thinking, and he did not reveal them to Hagrid.
For a talent like Hagrid with extremely high execution ability, you only need to tell him how to do it, and there is no need to bother telling him why he does it.
On the other side, when Hagrid heard the mention of Lucy, he subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and showed a fatherly smile.
“She is very well-behaved and very smart. Now she is basically able to fully express her thoughts and have no problem communicating with her.”
Perhaps because he felt that he was a little off topic, Hagrid stretched out his hand to stroke the thick beard on his face, and then said:
“I will keep a close eye on her so that no one will discover her, and I have reached an agreement with the centaurs. Now Lucy can freely enter and leave the centaurs’ territory. She can even be allowed to stay there for a while at critical times. ”
Hearing this, Ian nodded and said in approval: “That’s good. You always make people feel at ease when you do things.”
Facing the sudden compliment, the three-meter-tall Hagrid smiled like a child, with a hint of reserve and embarrassment flashing across his dark cheeks.
…
Wednesday, November 15, 1995.
On this day, for the first time in the castle, all the little wizards were given a half-day holiday.
At ten o’clock in the morning, everyone gathered in the castle auditorium. At the same time, there were many adult wizards in gorgeous clothes, as well as media reporters from all over the world, setting up their guns and cannons and staying in the corner of the auditorium in full alert.
In the front row, Lucius was wearing a gold-plated luxurious dress. From the moment he entered the castle, his face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
At this moment, Lucius was extremely grateful for his original decision. He had already consciously chosen to befriend Ian since he emerged at the Ministry of Magic three years ago.
Later, the long-term order from the candy store, and the initiative to become the other party’s spokesperson among the Death Eaters… one by one, one by one, with Lucius’ intentional intention, the two parties established a relatively solid connection.
And now, after Ian became the principal of Hogwarts, Lucius was even more proud of his actions.
On the other side, Fudge, the English Minister of Magic, also appeared in the auditorium in a straight dress. As a potential ally, Fudge was in a happy mood no less than Lucius.
It’s just that his long career as a politician has allowed him to perfectly control his facial expressions.
The polite smile, just the right amount of enthusiasm, the movements of facial muscles, and every vocal vibration of the vocal cords seemed to have been carefully calculated.
When everything was ready, at 10:30 in the morning, Ian, wearing a navy blue plain robe, arrived at the podium of the auditorium at the same time as Dumbledore.
