Chapter 1901: I shouldn't have come back
Sir, by this evening, some important areas of the main castle should be rebuilt. Although our protective magic certainly can't compare to the original, we have done our best to set up multiple spells for defense and daily maintenance. In addition, some of us discussed the possibility of temporarily converting Quidditch Field into a place for the cultivation of the Devil's Web - some of them were in charge of the research and cultivation of the Mutant Devil's Web in Africa, which might give us an effective large-scale defense capability......"
In the newly renovated Headmaster's chamber at Hogwarts, a wizard reports to Old Aslan on the current progress of the reconstruction and wartime preparations.
Although Hogwarts, located in the far north of England, has not yet been swept up in the direct invasion of living corpses, it is always necessary to prepare for a rainy day. Now that they had made contact with Camp Weymouth and obtained some very valuable information, they had already begun to prepare for the war they would eventually participate in.
And among them, there is even a selection of wizards who are good at fighting to conduct targeted training according to the living corpse information given by Percy at the beginning.
After listening to the other party's report, Old Aslan nodded suddenly.
"It's Jones, aren't they? I know...... Yes! Anyway, until peace is restored, it will be impossible to hold a Quidditch match again. But let them be careful, the mutated devil net is too aggressive, don't hurt themselves. β
"Okay, I'll tell them." The wizard ticked a scribble in the palm-sized notebook in his hand before continuing, "In addition, there is a new urgent call from Weymouth Camp that Miss Granger's original plan to retake the city of Birmingham has been put on hold for the time being, so let's wait for news." β
"Huh?" When Old Aslan heard this, he couldn't help but subconsciously touch his white beard, and seemed to be a little puzzled, "According to the previous information, now should be the best time......
He thought for a moment, then nodded again.
ββ¦β¦ But it's not wrong to be more prepared, after all, it is not difficult to retake Birmingham, and how to hold it afterwards is the biggest problem. He said, "You will reply to the letter in a moment and say that we will fully cooperate with them and reassure them." β
"I see," the wizard replied, and then finally said, "And besidesβMr. Charlie Weasley said before he went out on patrol this morning that he would increase the scope of his patrol today, and that he might not be able to come back at lunchtime, so we wouldn't have to wait for him." β
"Oh, really?" When Old Aslan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really hard for him, remember to leave him a portion of lunch and wait for him to come back to eat." β
"Of course." Fu Ye laughed and said, "To be honest, with him and his fire dragon Nobeta here these days, everyone has a lot of peace of mind - after all, it is a real adult Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon, and one person and one dragon can directly save two patrol teams!" In addition, the wizards he brought are all good hands, which is really reassuring. β
With that, he said hello to old Aslan, and left the headmaster's office to go on to other things.
Old Aslan watched him leave, then put on his glasses and lowered his head, and continued to consider the plan for cooperation with Camp Weymouth.
This time, after receiving the news that the plan has been shelved, then the preparations on their side will have to be reorganized, at least the extra time must be allocated to various operations more reasonably.
In particular, the training of combatants, who had planned to draw some men from his side after the Combine forces at Weymouth recaptured Birmingham.
And if Birmingham can really establish themselves in the heart of southern England, then their experience in defending against the onslaught of the living corpses will be the treasure of this war of resistance, and it will be worth learning from all who have sacrificed their lives to break into this torrent.
It can be said that Hermione's plan to retake Birmingham is actually a bold pilot plan, which is why many people admire it.
However, it is obviously not advisable to have courage and no strategy, and she chooses to wait and see at this time, but old Aslan also feels that it is okay.
It's a pity that it turned out that he was thinking too much, and the next situation made him feel a little unexpected.
"Click."
Suddenly, the door to the headmaster's office was opened again, and the wizard who had just left suddenly rushed in from the outside.
"Old sir, ...... out there ...... outside"
"What's wrong?" Seeing the other party's panting appearance, Old Aslan couldn't help but get up and said, "Don't worry, take a breath first and speak slowly." β
"No, no...... "There's no time to catch his breath," the other man waved his hand haphazardly, and then pointed out the window in the direction of the vestibule, "a young man with a young girl and a middle-aged wizard appeared on the lawn and was heading towards the castle, and the protective charm we had set up had no effect on him at all...... Moreover, he also identified himself as Macka McLean. β
"McLean?"
When old Aslan heard this, he hurriedly walked two steps quickly, went to the window to take a look, but unexpectedly, a pair of eyes under the castle also happened to meet him, and collided with his gaze.
What kind of eyes are they?
Deep, calm, and even a little cold, just a pair of eyes can make people instantly ignore their appearance and appearance, and the incomparable sense of presence is definitely the kind that will be unforgettable after seeing it once.
Perhaps those who are familiar with Maca will not have such abrupt feelings when they see him now. But the first time I saw him, I would definitely be taken by the way he looked now, without exception.
There is no doubt that the changes in Maca are actually quite noticeable.
"Inform everyone, drop what you're doing, and assemble in the auditorium."
Before he could finish speaking, old Aslan disappeared from the window, leaving only his last words still echoing in the newly rebuilt, still somewhat empty headmaster's room.
β¦β¦
"Maka, who are these people? Didn't you say that there was no one in the school anymore? β
Willy followed in Maca's footsteps, walking gently on the flat grass, looking at the Hogwarts Castle in front of her, which was being rebuilt, with some confusion.
"I don't know who it is," Maca shook her head, looking at the witches and wizards gathered at the door, and said casually, "I only know...... Probably not the 'bad guys'. Oh, and some of them are still wearing Hogwarts uniforms, so they must have graduated from the school a long time ago! β
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Unfortunately, they shouldn't have come back here."
