Nowadays, many people in the outside world are looking at the fog-shrouded United Kingdom...... Well, more accurately, it is the port city of Weymouth, the southernmost tip of the United Kingdom, just across the English Channel from France.

Therefore, everyone has not noticed that on the night when the wave of living corpses hit the port, Hogwarts Castle, which was damaged by a meteorite that fell to the ground, finally welcomed another group of "guests".

Oh no, maybe it would be more appropriate to call them "former family."

"Merlin is on top...... Oh, how could Hogwarts ...... How did it come to this? ”

An old wizard with a cane of crutches led the way on the broken bridge in front of the castle, looking at the ruined and ruined castle in front of him, and sighed sadly.

Hogwarts doesn't have much fog because it is located in the northern mountains, high terrain, and far from the south where the living corpses are born. And even though they were still at night when they first arrived, they could still see something about the castle through the deep darkness of the night.

It's a pity that they obviously don't want to see this bleak and miserable scene at the moment.

"It must be Helbo!" A middle-aged witch diagonally behind the old wizard also sighed, "Who else is going to destroy the school besides him?" Or who else has the power to destroy it here? ”

"Alas," the old wizard shook his head, "Helpo...... It seems that the hatred between us and him has been greatly increased today. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the wand in his hand and gently waved it towards the bridge break. The next moment, a large number of stone fragments that had been smashed and sunk to the bottom of the river below immediately flew out of the water again, piece by piece, and were put back together piece by piece.

In a short time, the bridge in front of the fort, which had been shattered by the fragments of the meteorite, was repaired.

Obviously, recovering such a large bridge with a single person requires not only excellent repair spell casting skills, but also a lot of mana. Immediately after the old wizard had finished casting the spell, someone behind him couldn't help but praise him.

However, the old wizard only shook his head.

"What I can do is only scratch the surface," he said, "and you've all been Hogwarts graduates, so you should know that this castle has a lot of protective spells from time immemorial, and there are even some magic that can only be found by ancient wizards...... I don't think it's possible to restore Hogwarts to its original state. ”

"Aslan, you say...... What if it's that McLean? The witch beside him asked when he heard him say this.

"Mr. McLean?" When the old wizard named Aslan heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, after all, I haven't really met him yet...... When he was in the United States, I had the opportunity to meet him, but unfortunately I had important things to do at the time and missed that opportunity. ”

As a perennial resident of the United States, Aslan speaks with a strong American accent, but he is actually a complete English wizard. He was not much younger than Dumbledore, and the two seemed to have been classmates for a few years.

Of course, these are all old things for him, and if he doesn't say it, there are obviously not many people who know about it.

"Let's go check it out!" Old Aslan paused for his crutches, and walked straight along the path he had just repaired, "Even if it's just 'surface', let's try to fix it as much as possible!" In any case, this is the school that once trained us! ”

Yes, almost all of these wizards, both men and women, young and old, are all Hogwarts graduates. In addition to some of the survivors who were already in the UK, many of them were wizards who returned spontaneously from abroad after the disaster.

For example, this gray-haired old wizard Aslan, he is the oldest and oldest of this large number of "returnee alumni".

Even though...... Born in Hufflepuff, he was low-key by nature and had no good reputation, and only a few people knew a little about him after living for such an old age.

After a while, the wizards who had come all the way to Hogwarts began to work on the restoration of the castle, and everyone was busy.

It wasn't until the eastern sky was slightly brightened that the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the ruins of the castle, which caused some people to stop what they were doing and look outside the school gate one after another.

"A bunch of centaurs?"

"Well, that's right."

"Maybe the ones who lived in the Forbidden Forest? You go outside first, and I'll go back and inform the old sir of them. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the last wizard to speak turned around and ran towards the castle.

The "old sir" in his mouth refers to old Aslan. Once upon a time, their family was also a large Muggle family, and even received titles and fiefs.

Of course, no one knows why he prefers to be called that, after all, he has only inherited this Muggle title that has little meaning in modern British wizarding world.

"Centaurs?"

The wizard who could hear the news talk about the situation outside, and Old Aslan, who was discussing the next plan with several other wizards, paused for a moment, and then nodded:

"Okay, I got it...... You continue to study the castle's defenses here, and I'll go out and meet the centaurs. ”

Ignorant of the actual cause, when wizards hear that the Centaurs are coming, the astrology of the Centaurs is often immediately thought of. And things like this kind of prophecy and divination have never been good.

So to be honest, everybody is actually a little bit uneasy.

Soon, however, when Aslan stepped out of the newly restored main entrance, he saw a strange scene of a centaur greeting several wizards who greeted him.

In the wizarding world, many wizards know that centaurs don't have much of a good impression of wizards, let alone make them bow respectfully.

Not to mention anything else, just by looking at the few gifted wizards who subconsciously took a step back and looked puzzled, they knew that they were very puzzled by this.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Old Aslan also stepped forward in confusion and asked.

"Old sir," said one of the wizards, seeing him appear, "said this Ferencze, who came to see what was going on because they sensed our presence. Because...... They had been keeping watch near the castle for the rest of their time, volunteering to look after the ruins for Mr. McLean. ”
