I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 430
c423 focus of the world
Time is passing quietly.
Ian’s proposal to cancel the Christmas vacation was approved by the four deans with the help of Professor McGonagall.
In fact, among the four deans, he was always worried about Professor Pomona, the dean of Hufflepuff. Professor Flitwick and Snape were the least worried. To put it bluntly, one is his mother-in-law, and the other is a good teacher and partner, so he is not worried about opposition at all.
Three days before Christmas, Filch posted a notice on the bulletin board in the auditorium that the holiday was cancelled. It said it was cancelled, but in fact it meant that the option of going home for the holiday was cancelled. Everything else remained unchanged.
There is no need to go to class, no need to get up early, and you can also play Quidditch together. Even in order to take care of the little wizard’s mood, many professors do not choose to assign homework…
In short, there is nothing prohibited within the castle, it is very relaxed.
But even with such a degree of freedom, many young wizards in the four colleges still complained about it, but it didn’t make any waves.
…
Three days flew by.
As the holidays were approaching, the castle was bustling with activity. While everyone was busy decorating the auditorium and common room, the principal’s office on the eighth floor was unusually quiet.
Ian was leaning on the large desk, his quill pen and parchment making rustling sounds.
a long time.
Ian raised his head, rubbed his sore wrist, and at the same time looked at the densely packed parchment, which was a letter addressed to Fudge.
Since you have decided to perform, the stage must be set up and it must be beautiful.
This is also the purpose of writing this letter, to let Fudge communicate with the top Muggle officials in England and connect the satellite for live broadcast. After all, many small countries do not have their own satellites. Let England take the lead and broadcast the signal to maximize the broadcast to anywhere in the world. where the signal is received.
Yes, anywhere in the world.
From the beginning, Ian didn’t want to show it just to Muggles, but also to the survivors, werewolves and dark wizards. Since he chose to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, he had to come with a big fanfare. It was better to stay at home if he was sneaky. sleep.
At the same time, the letter to Fudge also has a second meaning, which is to use people to build momentum.
Regardless of whether they can fight or not, the scene of hundreds or even thousands of wizards uniformed and riding broomsticks together will definitely be shocking, and it will also be a different kind of deterrent.
Of course, only the Ministry of Magic has the ability to handle this kind of thing. Regardless of whether you are an ordinary clerk or an intern running errands, as long as you have the right figure, Fudge can pull him over to build his reputation.
To be honest, the wizarding world hasn’t spoken out in a long time.
Going back to the last time, it was Grindelwald’s cemetery speech during World War II and the burning of Paris… But more than half a century has passed, and many people will forget the power of wizards.
A few minutes.
After feeling that the ink on the letter had completely dried, Ian called softly into the air.
“Eileen, deliver a letter for me, if you have time.”
Since the last reconciliation, Irene will work part-time as a messenger in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of ocean blue appeared in the office.
“Delivering a letter again! Hey, who made me someone’s nominal pet…” Aileen’s joking voice sounded.
To be honest, when a sisterly voice like Irene says “pet”, it really gives people a different kind of experience.
Ian also felt an electric shock all over his body. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he did not take up the topic of pets and instead said:
“I have told Professor McGonagall about your situation, and she has promised me that she will study this aspect of transfiguration. This is a cross-generational subject.”
“Haha, you’re so shy!” Erin chuckled. “No more teasing, I’ll go deliver the letter first and we’ll talk when I get back.”
In an instant, a flash of ocean blue disappeared into the principal’s office, and at the same time there were letters sealed on the desk.
“I feel like I’m at a disadvantage every time…” Ian murmured speechlessly.
But he was also happy to see Irene untie her knot and become cheerful.
As for Professor McGonagall, Ian estimates that it will not be easy. The transformation of Animagus into a human form from a divine animal is a big headache…
…
December 24, 1995.
“…This is the current arrangement.” Professor McGonagall stood in the auditorium and emphasized the holiday requirements again.
“Young wizards from Muggle families have temporarily restricted access, so don’t complain! This is for your own good. Depending on the situation, the school will selectively open Hogsmeade for you to go out and relax.”
“… If you want to go home, at least one adult wizard’s immediate family member needs to come to the castle and sign in person before you can leave. Otherwise, no one is allowed to leave the castle during the Christmas vacation. If you find one, you will be expelled. I’m not kidding. .”
Before the dinner, Professor McGonagall reiterated the rules loudly.
The auditorium suddenly became gloomy. The students were sitting on the long benches, their expressions looking listless. On the Gryffindor table, Ron suddenly stood up and shouted:
“Professor, can I ask my parents to sign in to pick up my friend? We are two adult wizards. We only go home and don’t run around.”
Professor McGonagall glanced at him, then turned to Harry, looking at the expectant expression on his face, pursed her lips and said, “Okay! Mr. Weasley!”
Professor McGonagall seemed to have thought of something, and then said loudly: “I don’t need to limit whether it is an immediate family member, but an adult wizard must sign to guarantee responsibility, and a wizard can only take away one student.”
At this moment, Ian also stood up at the right moment, cleared his throat, and said:
“Only this year, I promise! And this year I won’t let you have a boring Christmas. After the dinner, there will be a lottery.”
After saying that he knew this, he paused deliberately for a few seconds. After seeing the little wizards quietly pricking up their ears, he continued:
“Sponsored by the House of Fantastic Beasts, the prize is a total of 100 blind boxes of dolls, and… in the next 15 days, the last jigsaw treasure hunt will continue, and the prize is more than 4X customized version of magical beast dolls…”
‘Boom~’ Before Ian could finish his words, there was already a noisy discussion below. After seeing that his goal was achieved, he didn’t say anything more.
In order to eliminate negative emotions, this idea was also a decision that he and the Weasley twins had thought about for a long time. Firstly, they could advertise the dolls, and secondly, they could clear out the backlog of inventory.
Ian paid for the prize of five thousand galleons out of his own pocket. Not to mention the magic stone, the several large bank underground vaults he had previously looted during the apocalypse had already left him with more money than he could spend.
Suddenly, he felt as if someone was tugging on his sleeve next to him. When he turned around, he saw the highly recognizable face of Professor Flitwick.
“Professor! What’s the matter?”
He still has great respect for his former dean.
“Ian, you can discuss this matter with us, and you can contact the school directors for the cost…”
Professor Flitwick didn’t finish his words, but the underlying meaning was clearly expressed.
“The protective character has not changed at all…” Ian thought in his mind.
Professor Flitwick’s intention was very clear, and he obviously didn’t want to see him spending his own money to pay for the school.
“It’s okay, it’s just a small amount of money, and I got the internal discounted price…” Ian explained with a smile.
While the two were chatting, the Christmas dinner was held as scheduled.
…
Two days later, a letter stamped with the flame of the International Federation of Wizards was quietly delivered to the principal’s office.
A few minutes later, Ian put down the letter in his hand and sighed softly: “Everything is ready…”
The letter was sent by Grindelwald, and he mainly selected some of the surviving werewolves in the British Isles who had committed crimes.
To be honest, although many survivors harbor hatred, they did not choose to do evil. On the contrary, there are still some people who seem to have broken free from their shackles and indulge themselves without any bottom line…
The targets of these survivor werewolves’ persecution are very wide. Muggles, wizards, and even other survivors in the ecological city are all within the scope of their persecution.
Ian is looking for these people this time, a criminal group with a population of about 20,000. Just the photos accidentally taken by satellites have made people extremely uncomfortable.
You must know that not all survivor werewolves are adult men, there are many women, and even young girls…
Back to business.
After Ian received the letter, he contacted Fudge immediately to determine the time to take action.
Location: Oxford Street, London.
As the most prosperous shopping district in the past, it attracted never less than 500,000 tourists from all over the world every day. The entire district is filled with department stores, high-end luxury brands, etc.
But now… this place has long lost its former civilization and brilliance, and has become as dilapidated as a large garbage dump.
More than 20,000 survivors who committed evil deeds are entrenched here, and all kinds of domestic garbage and even excrement are strewn all over the streets.
Following Fudge’s conscious spread, many wizards had gathered here to watch the fun. However, due to the deterrent of Wolfsbane, everyone tacitly stayed at a distance and used Quidditch telescopes to check the situation.
Not only are there local wizards, but there are also more “stragglers” who have traveled across the ocean and come from France and even Northern Europe.
As time goes by, quite a lot of people have gathered in this area, plus satellites from various countries thousands of miles above their heads, and countless Muggles watching the TV.
It is really not an exaggeration to say that it is the focus of the world and attracts everyone’s attention.
The next chapter may be a little late, Xiaodi will try his best. If it’s too late, I’ll leave it to tomorrow. If nothing else happens, I’ll update it tomorrow and this book will be finished. Thank you for accompanying me all the way. Thank you very much…
