Chapter 16: This Thing Works Better Than Magic!
William sat in his chair and looked down through the things Miria had left behind, the collections that could be considered fetishists:
Lots of old newspaper silhouettes and old photos!
From reports of Grindelwald's formation of the Witch Party, to his arrest in the United States, his escape again, and his blatant incitement of wizards in Paris...... Until 1945, he was defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in Newmengard.
Then, the news of Grindelwald gradually became Dumbledore...... He accepted the Order of Merlin and refused to become Minister of Magic...... At some point, reports of Voldemort began to appear...... And then there is the boy who never dies...... And then to William Stark......
William's brow furrowed, followed by his newspaper silhouette, starting with the Tywin incident, including the other day, when he was wanted by the French Ministry of Magic!
He even has more coverage than Grindelwald, for the simple reason that his time nodes are in these years, which is easier to collect than others.
Miria's tracking of their group is almost fanatical!
Among them, two newspapers were specially taken out by Hermione.
One is in 1927, at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, Grindelwald presented his predictions for the future in public:
Muggles threw some sort of weapon, creating the illusion of a mushroom cloud.
There is also a Muggle newspaper: in 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Miria made a special mark on it.
William was appalled, and if the newspaper was true, it showed that Grindelwald had predicted what would happen eighteen years later.
This prophetic power...... It's Grindelwald, it's like Trelawney, dozens of centaurs!
Apparently, Grindelwald's speech at the Paris rally inspired Arya, and she set her sights on this weapon.
From a certain period of time, Millia began collecting Muggle newspapers until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, when rumors of nuclear weapons circulated.
In fact, in the past half century, the United States and the Soviet Union have lost many nuclear bombs, including a Mark 15...... H-bomb.
The United States has made a movie "Broken Arrow", which tells the story of the United States losing its nuclear bomb.
Judging by the collection of newspapers, Arya presumably has her eyes on Ukraine.
The reason is simple, Ukraine has inherited a lot of Soviet legacy, and it is currently the third country in the world with the number of nuclear weapons.
And the country, itself, is in chaos, the economy continues to regress, and the power of wizards in the country is weakened.
It is also for these reasons that the issue of the elimination of nuclear weapons is being discussed in Ukraine.
Yes, Ukraine is ready to destroy nuclear weapons and be a non-nuclear state!
Because the United States, Britain and Russia have pledged to protect Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and borders from being violated.
Historically, they will sign this memorandum in Budapest, Hungary, next year.
At that time, Ukraine will not only completely destroy nuclear weapons, but even give up carrying nuclear warhead carriers. They will also destroy full-fledged missile silos, dispose of rocket fuel......
Similarly, Ukraine is taking the initiative to dismantle nuclear power plants.
During the Soviet era, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident that occurred in Ukraine made the entire Ukrainian people very resistant to nuclear power.
Leon Kravchuk's agitation for Ukraine's secession from the Soviet Union took advantage of this public sentiment by promising that after independence, Ukraine would gradually dismantle all nuclear power plants in the country.
After Ukraine's secession from the Soviet Union, the Kravchuk authorities fulfilled their promise and immediately sealed the nuclear power plant projects under construction in the country, and planned to suspend and dismantle several nuclear power plants one after another.
However, the drama came, as the Ukrainian economy took a sharp turn for the worse, the power generation of traditional thermal and hydroelectric power stations continued to plummet.
On the contrary, the four nuclear power plants in Ukraine that are still in operation can stably provide the country with about 50 billion kWh of electricity every year, accounting for 30% of Ukraine's annual power generation.
In this case, not only the Ukrainian government, but even the Ukrainian people, not many people, mentioned the need to shut down the nuclear power plant, and it became ...... It smells so good!
It is impossible to expect such a rotten country to protect nuclear bombs. It was probably in this state of confusion that Arya got one.
Her goal was also clear: to drop an atomic bomb in Paris and enjoy the fireworks of that moment.
Perhaps her purpose was to tell Grindelwald, "This thing works better than magic!" ”
William packed all the newspapers in the safety sheet and prepared to take them back and study them carefully.
"What should I do?" Hermione asked worriedly.
As a Muggle-born child, she knew exactly how powerful a nuclear bomb could be.
"We don't know when and where Arya threw it, or where she is, so we can only give the French Ministry of Magic a wake-up call."
William still needs to save Newt, what if Arya's target is the Ministry of Magic?
If Newt is saved and he doesn't know where the other party is, William runs away with Hermione.
Otherwise, can you still physically resist the nuclear bomb?
Even if William wanted to, the nuclear bomb wouldn't allow him to be so awesome!
William quickly wrote a letter and asked the house-elf to find an owl and send the letter to the Ministry of Magic.
After doing all this, William and Hermione didn't bother Vader anymore and left the house.
The moonlight was like water, and the two held hands and walked aimlessly along the Champs-Elysées.
"Nagini is in Newt's box." William said.
"The big snake?"
"Yes, she occupies the nest of birds and snakes and sleeps in it every day. The other animals didn't dare to approach, and neither did the birds and snakes, so they had to huddle together with Sniff. William laughed.
The bird snake returned to the box and found that his nest was occupied, and was very angry, and seduced William to teach Nagini a lesson...... But William ignored it.
"Nagini is pathetic, too." Hermione said in pity.
It's pitiful that Nagini used to be a very beautiful witch, but now she has become a snake.
"William, what would you do if I also fell under the Blood Beast Curse?" Hermione asked suddenly.
"I won't let you ......"
"What if!" Hermione was serious: "If I become an animal, I have no memory......"
"Then I'll definitely turn you back."
"Failed?"
"Just go to the Grim Reaper, isn't he able to fulfill any wish?"
"Death, ......"
The two walked to the intersection, and the huge figure of the Eiffel Tower was slowly revealed.
"Shall we go to the top and have a look?" Hermione suggested softly.
The last time Dumbledore's letter came, they didn't go up to the third floor.
William nodded. The Eiffel Tower is closed by this time, but it's easy for wizards to go up.
Hermione suddenly tugged at his clothes, blinking those aura-filled eyes, and in the moonlight, the immature fluff on her delicate ears could be faintly seen.
"What's wrong?" William asked softly.
Hermione's cheeks flushed, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she imitated Anne and said, "I can't walk, can you carry me up?" ”
William smiled, crouched down, and after carrying her, he turned into a sea eagle, its body like a rainbow rising from the ground.
When the two reached the top of the Eiffel Tower, William changed back, but still carried the girl on his back.
Hermione lay on his back and whispered, "William, do you want me to leave Paris?" ”
William hesitated, turned his head slightly, hummed lightly, and said seriously:
"It's dangerous here, I'll take you to Lyon, Anne and they're all there."
Hermione shook her head, she was extremely persistent in her bones, blinked her eyes, and said firmly: "You can do whatever you ask me to do, but this is the only ...... No way! ”
William looked into Hermione's eyes, stunned.
Hermione touched his forehead with a smooth forehead, then hugged the boy's neck and said stubbornly: "Don't let me go, I can help!" ”
William bowed slightly, turned his head again, and smiled softly.
Hermione gently bit the boy's earlobe, turned her face sideways, leaned against his back, closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and murmured:
"William~"
