Chapter 236: Tournament (1)

The tournament is just a game played by children, and it is outside the school that really determines the world. While www.biquge.infoDumbledore was greeting the many guests, Minister Fudge was sitting opposite the Muggle women, and neither side was looking at each other.

"It's really bad, I think even if I find a kid who has just graduated from college, I'm going to do better than I do now. Minister Fudge, I strongly request once again that a team of professional advisors be sent to help you manage the entire wizarding nation. "As they continued to get to know each other, Muggle prime ministers had gone from being suspicious of wizards to being convinced of witches to being convinced. After fully accepting that there was still such a group of people in the whole of Britain, the female prime minister began to think about how to seize this opportunity to let the splendor of the British Empire once again envelop the whole world, according to Earl Lee.

"Prime Minister, you don't know much about the wizarding world, and any hasty exposure of wizards to Muggles will lead to an irreparable catastrophe, and no Muggle is now allowed to know about wizards except you. If this convention were to be broken, I am afraid that the whole of Britain would have completely collapsed before we could solve the problem before we had solved it. Secretary Fudge replied without flinching.

"Okay, maybe I'm a little rushed, but what do you want to do with this form. Wizarding terror attacks began to spread to Muggle society. You go and look at the ruins of the Tower of London, in the center of a world like London, there is a lake of magma all of a sudden, and now the rest of the world is laughing at us, when can you give me a suitable reason to explain such a terrorist attack. ”

"Prime Minister, as I told you before, there is a fierce war going on within the wizards, and there are too many mysterious forces involved. Until a position is determined on either side, I can only assure you that the Ministry of Magic will fully cooperate with your efforts. Fortunately, we are in a strong position at the moment, and as long as we hold on for a while, the final Ministry of Magic will have a firm grip on the situation. ”

The female prime minister snorted coldly, obviously unacceptable to Minister Fudge's explanation. There was an embarrassing silence between the two men again, and there was a brief knock on the door, and Count Lee entered.

"Two, how are you talking today, and whether there are any new results? "Both Minister Fudge and the female Prime Minister were silent. Earl Li smiled slightly, it seemed that the result was the same as the previous day, there was no progress in the slightest.

"Well, this is the latest information for today, including the situation of some of the Ministry of Magic in Europe. "Count Lee pretended that nothing had happened, and handed the two reports to Minister Fudge and the Prime Minister.

After the Death Eaters became active, not only did extremist organizations emerge in Britain, but also some dark wizarding organizations began to resurgence on the European continent, especially Gellert Grindelwald's former wizarding army, which could almost be said to have begun to operate blatantly. Its power in Europe was no less than that of the Death Eaters. This time, the Death Eaters were hit hard, and even Voldemort did not know where to go, which greatly dealt a blow to the British Death Eater organization, but the form at this time was different from the form at the beginning of this century, and the form of the war between wizards and wizards had become completely different.

The union and migration of wizards between countries not only profoundly changed the structure of the entire wizarding world, but also made the scope of activities of those dark wizards more extensive.

The Death Eaters in Britain had begun to see a number of wizards from abroad, including some from the ancient Ottoman Empire. In this case, it is necessary to take joint measures to manage the entire wizarding world together.

"Is there anything I need to know?" the female prime minister asked directly. Before the in-depth contact with Count Lee, the female head minister knew nothing about the wizarding world. In such a situation, it is expected to look at the ambiguous reports rather than ask the experts directly, so that even if the experts' opinions are wrong, at least they understand where the key points are.

Lee pointed to the first page of the report and said, "Traces of Dementor activity have been found around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and this is the most important thing to watch out for at the moment. ”

The Prime Minister stared at the report's description of the Dementors and the records of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and read them carefully.

"Lee, this matter has a result now, what does Deng Liduo think?" Minister Fudge certainly knew the seriousness of the Dementor problem.

"Principal Dumbledore had previously traveled to Azkaban to investigate the connection. However, at present, it seems that the Dementors that appeared at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry should not be a group action, and if the Ministry of Magic intervenes in time and sends the Aurors to investigate, this matter should be solved quickly. "Earl Li, who doesn't know the various forces behind this, just instinctively wants to solve this matter as soon as possible.

The reality is that Mordred's reckless intrusion caused a counterattack from the seals inside the Forbidden Forest, and the Regents who fought back could not leave the Forbidden Forest for some reason. If not, I'm afraid that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which bears the brunt of the Forbidden Forest Seal, will be the first victim of the Forbidden Forest Seal.

In such a situation, sending the Aurors there may cause unpredictable consequences, as the Minister of Magic, Fudge seems to vaguely feel that something is inappropriate, but the female prime minister's firm attitude directly forced Minister Fudge to order the dispatch of the Aurors to investigate.

After settling this matter, Count Li took out the third page of the report and said: "The most important thing in Europe at present is the re-emergence of the wizard army, according to the latest book statistics, the number of wizard armies has exceeded 1,000 at present, and the participating wizard nationalities include almost the whole of Europe, among which the wizards of France and Germany are the most, fortunately, these wizards have not launched any attacks yet." ”

Hearing that the number of wizard armies had exceeded a thousand, Minister Fudge couldn't help but lean back. The Wizarding Army is different from the average Auror organization, and also different from the Death Eaters, this semi-military organization derived from Gellert Grindelwald completely absorbs the characteristics of the Muggle military organization, has strict organization and tactics, and is stronger than the Aurors in group combat.

"An army, an army of wizards with superpowers, still numbering more than a thousand, that is, our future enemy may be an army of soldiers with superpowers?" asked the female prime minister in surprise. The previous wizard army did not have such a huge momentum, and the internal affairs of wizarding Britain were too complicated, and this time I was a little relieved, only to find that the enemy in my family was just a small trouble, and the real enemy was still thousands of miles away.

"Lee, have you investigated the purpose of the Wizarding Army now, after all, if this organization is also a terrorist organization, with such a powerful force, it is a little strange that it has not made waves in the Quidditch World Cup. Minister Fudge asked.

"Lord Minister, unlike the Death Eaters, the wizarding army does not want to be opposed to the entire wizarding world, and they do not want to create any terror, in fact, so far, they seem to have only one purpose. Speaking of this, Count Li couldn't help but look at the female prime minister, who was also staring at Count Li, "Their only purpose is to establish the rule of wizards!"

The female prime minister's face became ugly, and it seemed that Count Li said something offensive to her, and the minister was silent for a while before he whispered: "Isn't there any reaction from the Ministry of Magic in Europe, allowing the wizard army to grow bigger?"

Lee took out the last report, and pointed to the only accompanying picture on the report, which was a half-life photograph of a wizard who looked energetic, with short hair in a shawl, a handsome face, and a slight smile, looking into the unknown distance.

According to credible sources, Gellert Grindelwald has left his place of self-imprisonment and is heading to Ukraine, and his exact location is unclear, although it is rumored that Gellert Grindelwald seems to have grown in strength this time and has taken full control of the wizarding organization throughout the North. "Count Lee put the most important news last. Now, until now, neither the Ministry of Magic nor Count Lee knew that it was the Dark Lord of Europe who helped Dumbledore defeat Voldemort.

With the excellent effect of the 'Royal' Charm, Gellert Grindelwald not only defeated Voldemort who had been galloping England for many years in one fell swoop, but also quickly integrated the wizarding forces of Northern Europe after coming out of the mountains again, becoming the leader of the strongest group of forces in the European continent.

"Didn't Dumbledore deprive him of his wand, and how could a wizard without a wand be so powerful?" the prime minister suddenly asked.

"Prime Minister, although it is the wand that chooses the wizard, but some wands are not so strong, and at the request of the right wizard, they will still accompany the wizard through a long journey. When the wizard dies, his wand will not leave him. Count Lee explained.

"In other words, Gellert Grindelwald has regained his magic and even become stronger, and he is on the other side of the Channel, gathering strength and ready to attack Britain?" asked the Prime Minister word for word.

"No, not really. As it stands, the Wizard Army has no intention of attacking the British. ”

Fully understanding that there are only eternal interests between countries, and fully understanding the so-called rules of the game of the jungle, after hearing that a unified and powerful wizarding organization is currently being formed in Europe, the judgment of the female head relative to the current situation has become more pessimistic.

"Lee, you mean that the current civil strife in Britain will continue for some time, and at the same time, on the European continent, a potentially unified wizarding army is about to be formed, and the British wizarding community has no way to stop it, right?" asked the female prime minister coldly.

Earl Li thought for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.

The ordinary students, who had no idea of the dire situation facing Britain, happened to be wizards from foreign lands who had gathered for their first dinner.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of students by half, the entire auditorium had to be increased or contracted to a certain extent, and in order to take care of the habits of wizards from different countries, the previous simple seating arrangement according to the academy was also changed. The students were arranged to sit together as much as possible, and according to Professor McGonagall, in front of wizards from other countries, the wizards of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry belonged to the United Kingdom.

Hogwarts elves have also doubled their workload. The UK is almost the only country in the world that still has so many house-elves. In the Americas, although there are also elves, most of those elves are yearning for freedom and innovative ideas, they are no longer simply attached to a fixed family, but begin to look for jobs freely like wizards, and live a traveling life.

In order to cater for the tastes of wizards from all over the world, the elves have put a lot of thought into it, dishes from the Far East, bizarre barbecues from African tribes, and special desserts from the European continent, all show the elves' intentions.

"This cake is so delicious, I didn't expect to be able to eat such a good Flange cake in England, did Hogwarts have a French pastry chef?" said a beautiful Beauxbatons girl and Susan Bones of Hufflepuff next to her.

Susan Bones answers Beauxbatons' question in French, not very fluent, telling her that it was actually made by Hogwarts elves.

Beauxbatons asked in surprise, "The elves can still make such a delicacy, and the elves of our castle have never made them." ”

"Do you have elves in your castle too?" asked Susan curiously.

"Of course, it's just that there aren't many, many elves have fled, and the rest of the elves are older. "Beauxbatons has a long history, but it was once fought head-on with Gellert Grindelwald's wizarding army, when Gellert Grindelwald successfully invaded Beauxbatons for a short time, and most of the elves in the castle were driven away.

It is rumored that among the wizarding army that invaded Beauxbatons was the students of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the northwest corner of Europe, and since then, the relationship between the two schools has become even worse, and it has not eased up until now.

"I've heard that Dark Arts are allowed in your school, is it true?" Slytherin student Draco Malfoy asked a student at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who was also a celebrity, none other than Victor Krum at the Quidditch World Cup.

Wickdor didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment before saying, "The school doesn't promote black magic, but it also doesn't prohibit students from studying it. According to the headmaster, there is no right or wrong with witchcraft, only the dark wizards who use witchcraft are at fault. ”

"You are blessed by the open-mindedness of President Igor Karkarov. Unlike magic at Hogwarts, not only is it forbidden to teach dark magic, but even students are forbidden to contact it, so if it continues, wizards in Britain will be eliminated. Draco said.

"Do you use dark magic during this exchange?" asked Pansy Parkinson, the girl next to Draco.

"The principal didn't prohibit it. The only witch in Durmstrong's team replied coldly.
