The Ministry of Magic's golden foyer is home to a number of journalists, who have set up a number of photographic equipment around a group of solid gold statues of witches and wizards, centaurs, elves, and house-elves, as well as the fountain of the Magic Brothers where water shoots from different parts of the sculpture.

Reporters were busy preparing for the interview, and some staff of the Ministry of Magic were directing some tables, chairs, and red cloths to fly to the front of the fountain to set up the rostrum of the press conference. Although the scene was busy, everyone paid attention to controlling their volume, and there was no too noisy sound.

Every few seconds, with a soft "poof" and a green flame rising out of thin air, a wizard emerged from one of the rows of fireplaces, and then gathered into the neatly arranged chairs around the fountain and sat down, and as time went on, there was no sound except for the tinkling of the fountain.

After a while, there was a noise of footsteps, and the photographers immediately turned their cameras and pointed their cameras at the comer, and Owen walked briskly with Lunn and Allen.

Owen and the others sat down in front of the press conference table with a comfortable expression, Owen used silent and non-combat skills to perform a "loud voice", after a brief welcome, Owen said: "As you know, there was a battle between the Ministry of Magic and the mysterious man and his Death Eaters yesterday, in this battle, many Auror comrades did their best to ensure the safety of our magical community regardless of their own safety, and the Ministry of Magic decided to reward the outstanding Aurors after the meeting, and I will announce the list of commendations below......"

In Owen's calm voice, a heroic Auror walked up to the rostrum, received the certificate and bonus from Owen, and took a photo with Owen. Owen then directly announced that he had declared the Order of Merlin for Allen and other matters, and after roughly reporting the condemnation of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, the trial time was determined.

At the press conference, so much news was released at once, which made the reporters excited, and in the most anticipated individual exchange session, Alan also patiently answered all kinds of questions they raised, just when Owen announced the end of the press conference, these reporters were still eager to pack up their equipment and leave, Allen stood up from his seat: "Fellow journalists, please stay for a while." The Ministry's press conference is over, but there are still some things to communicate with at Hogwarts and announce to the public. ”

The media reporters were instantly excited, and they could guess that the next news that Allen was going to announce would definitely be a big news that would cause social discussion and focus.

Alan looked around at the reporters on the field, and there was a convincing force in his voice: "I have seen a lot of false reports about the renovation and expansion of our Hogwarts in some media newspapers, and some of them even said some very ridiculous remarks as if they had witnessed them, which also caused concern and controversy in the wizarding world. First of all, I would like to thank you all for your interest in Hogwarts, for wizarding education... I'm sorry that we just announced the news and didn't elaborate on it, which led to so many misunderstandings, but today I would like to give a simple answer to the hot issues caused by the renovation and expansion of Hogwarts, and I hope you can understand and support our work. Instead of listening to all kinds of vague speculations and rumors, it is better for us to see what we see. ”

With that, Alan took out the hookah in the shape of a raven's skull from his pocket, and under the witness of these reporters, he slowly exhaled a large cloud of smoke through the pipe, and the reporters keenly focused their cameras on the twisted and swirling smoke, and the smoke spread out in the air above the heads of the people, and the smoke that should have been hazy showed a clear, huge macro scene.

"That's ...... Hogwarts?'s expansion plans are so big?!" A reporter set up the camera neatly, adjusted the angle, and took out a magic camera to shoot at the drawings.

For a moment, the sound of flashing lights and pressing the shutter rang out in the venue.

The design drawings for the renovation and expansion of Hogwarts slowly unfolded in front of the reporters and cameras, and they couldn't help but sigh when they saw such a detailed and huge design, despite the reporters' well-trained design.

The reporter of "Wizard Today" excitedly took pictures one after another, "We are all right, this is a small city... Harris's—" He was about to speak ill of Allen, but when he thought that this was the Ministry of Magic, and in front of Allen himself, he closed his mouth vigilantly and did not ask the question of the Umbrella's attempt to acquire Hogsmeade, but the quill in his hand quickly slid across the parchment.

Allen compared these drawings and explained their plans and arrangements for renovation and expansion one by one, where are the blocks, where are the residential buildings, and where are the commercial streets...... Due to the huge scale of the renovation and expansion, this made Alan explain for a long time, but this made the reporters have more questions, and they only hope that Alan will say as much as possible.

Just as Alan took a breath and took a sip to moisten his throat from the glass of water on the speaker's seat, the reporter from "Wizard Today" couldn't wait to ask loudly: "Headmaster Harris, why did you build Hogwarts so big, and do you have any ideas and plans to move all the wizards in England to live here?"

"It's just a plan for the future, and of course all wizards feel that our renovated and expanded Hogwarts neighborhood is more suitable for living and for our protection during this special time. If you are willing to relocate, we are very welcome..."Alan put down his glass of water and looked at the reporter of "The Witcher Today", "but you should know who I am, I like to give people choices very much, so everything is voluntary." ”

The reporter scratched his arm uncomfortably under Allen's gaze and looked elsewhere.

Later, when Alan explained the whole of Hogwarts and a large area around it, the reporters thought that this was the end of the explanation, but in the smoke, the cities slowly rose, revealing the underground part of Hogwarts.

"Ravenclaw! He's made the underground area an extension as well. The reporter for the Daily Prophet was a Ravenclaw devotee, and he stared dumbfounded at the underground drawings displayed in the sky.

"Such a large scale......," one reporter muttered with his head tilted, "I'm afraid that even if you put wizards from all over Britain into it, you won't be satisfied." Why is it so big...... What is this plot for?"

"Compared to Muggles, we wizards have a deeper understanding and use of time and space. In the underground of Hogwarts, these areas are planned and built in order to be completed in one step....The Harris family has the strength to complete this renovation and expansion, we only hope to complete the renovation and expansion as well as possible, and the money and technology are not a problem. Alan straightened his back proudly and said in a sonorous voice, "Until now, in the wizarding world, except for a few villages and towns and a few shopping streets, we wizards have never developed our own cities... I think that needs to change..."

Not only the reporters, but even the members of the Ministry of Magic also erupted into a burst of discussion, they had more questions, and some guys with backgrounds also smelled something wrong from this surprisingly large plan, and were very uneasy, but Alan didn't seem to have any intention of continuing after saying that, ignoring the people in the audience who saw his movements and hurriedly got up. Asking a direct question to try to get him to answer more, Alan put away his hookah and beckoned to the woman in the audience wearing a pair of jeweled glasses and a delicate curly blonde hair.

The woman immediately bared her teeth and smiled in what she clearly thought was charming, her fat fingers clutching the crocodile leather handbag, her two-inch-long nails painted red and swinging towards Alan, "Mr. Harris?"

"Rita, talk to me if you have time, I have a business I want to introduce to you, and I want you to help me write one... About Hogwarts. ”
