Brian Braddock had just come out of the fireplace at the Three Broomsticks and thought he was in the wrong place, it was a very different place than he had been here recently.

Gone are the dim light and alcohol-smelling air, replaced by bright sunlight and cool fresh air.

However, he was soon relieved, for he saw that the wall where the bar had been facing the street was gone, and that the place where the walls, doors, and windows had been filled with debris.

A man with a thick bandage on his head and face is picking up a broken broom from the rubble and repairing him back with a spell.

When Braddock walked over, he found that the person was the bar's proprietor, Ms. Rosmerta, and when Braddock greeted her, she did not react, but looked blankly in the rubble for another broomstick, which was the bar's signature.

When Braddock stepped out into the street, he and many of his companions were stunned, and the quiet and peaceful village was in ruins, and the smell of burnt wood could not be dissipated for a long time.

He couldn't remember how he had gone to the Hog's Head with his fellow Aurors from Essex to report and how he had been assigned a job, and by the time he came to his senses, he was standing in front of the ruins with a few of his colleagues.

In addition to them, there is a witch dressed in black robes and wearing a pointed hat with a black veil who is looking through the ruins for something to use.

Braddock went up and said to the witch, "Ma'am, we are an Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic to help you. ”

Helen, dressed in mourning clothes, whispered "thank you".

It's easy to fix small items with magic, but the difficulty of repairing a completely damaged house increases exponentially. As for the houses that had been burned by the fire, there was no way to tie Dumbledore and Voldemort together. So now all you have to do is clean up the rubble and build a new house.

Clearing the ruins with magic was very fast, Braddock and several Aurors and Helen used various spells to pile all kinds of useless construction debris on the side of the road, and the items that could still be used in the ruins were also gathered together under Helen's cleanup.

Then trucks come and take the construction waste to the garbage pit outside and dump it.

Many Muggle-born wizards were almost shocked by the strange style of painting when they saw truckloads of garbage driving through the streets of Hogsmeade.

In addition to the wizards who supported Hogsmeade's rebuilding efforts, Galeries Lafayette also made a lot of efforts.

It can be said that Lafayette, who drove an ambulance in World War II, knew better than the wizards at the Ministry of Magic that the reconstruction should be done.

At noon on the day after the February 6 bombing, a group of engineers and related vehicles were transported by train to Hogsmeade's railway station.

Bell, who was currently playing the role of a driver in a van, was loading the trash from the side of the street into the car with his wizarding assistant, Mr. Arthur Weasley.

If it weren't for Mr. Weasley's constant mundling of the idea of selling him a truck to take home and renovate, Bell would have thought the chubby wizard would have been pretty good.

After Bell drove away, Helen stood in front of the clearing that had been her home, not knowing what to do next.

"Helen?" A voice rang out beside her.

Helen turned her head to look at the arrival, and said with some surprise, "Autumn? Why are you here? ”

Zhang Qiu and Helen once spent time together at Hogwarts, and the two knew each other.

"Now Gringotts has set up a special fund that provides free new construction and repair services to residents of damaged Hogsmeade houses." Autumn explained to Helen, "The money for this fund comes from donations from the Queen of England and some wizards. I am now communicating on behalf of the residents of Gringotts and Hogsmeade. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Qiu, who noticed Helen wearing mourning clothes, paused for a moment, and then said cautiously: "You see, if you have time, you can choose a new house that you like." ”

Helen took the coloring booklet handed by Autumn and stood there for a long time without speaking.

Cho had encountered this situation many times in Hogsmeade today, and she took her leave after whispering "Please mourn" to Helen.

At this time, at the Hog's Head Bar, Scrimgeour was hosting a guest from the Muggle world.

Rodney Sr. brought in a somewhat chubby, middle-aged man who was negotiating with Scrimgeur.

"Her Majesty will not only donate this material and money for the rebuilding of Hogsmeade, but she also hopes to establish an orphanage in Hogsmeade for children who have lost their parents." "Her Majesty is the official guardian of all children in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and it is her duty to build a warm and safe home for these poor children," said Viscount Hood to Scrimgeur. ”

Scrimgeour quickly agreed to the request made by Lafayette's butler on Lafayette's behalf, and although he knew that there was more to it than just building an orphanage, he couldn't refuse.

Rebuilding Hogsmeade required a large amount of building materials and food for the homeless, and the only one who could provide Hogsmeade with this in a short period of time was the Muggle government.

The train station was now filled with a batch of freshly arrived materials, but the guards forbade the Ministry of Magic to approach the "Queen's property" on the grounds that the ruins had not been cleared.

After leaving the Hog's Head Bar, Old Rodney and Viscount Hood walked down the streets of Hogsmeade, and Old Rodney asked, "Would you like to go to Hogwarts to see your sister later?" ”

Before Viscount Hood could reply, he heard a shrill horn sound of "Dididi" not far away, which frightened Viscount Hood and Old Rodney to jump to the side.

After a fully loaded truck sped by, Viscount Hood said to old Rodney with some embarrassment, "I want to see her in myself." ”

Old Rodney smiled helplessly, and then walked out of the village with Viscount Hood.

It was lunchtime, and the smell of onion soup wafted through the settlement outside Hogwarts.

The source of the scent is a row of canopies on the edge of the settlement, which serves as the kitchen, and many of the victims come to help prepare the three meals a day for the victims and the Aurors who have come to support. In addition to the victims, there were volunteers from other parts of the UK, such as Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Lupin.

In order to avoid the chaos caused by a large number of people eating in piles, the victims of the resettlement site started their meals at 11 o'clock. It was not until twelve o'clock that the rescuers came from the village for lunch.

At this time, Zhang Xu was eating here with Rodney.

This morning, some of the injured who had stabilized were transported to a large hospital near Edinburgh through the carriage pulled by Thestrals to transport students during the Hogwarts holidays, and Zhang Xu and Rodney were responsible for coordinating the matter. In the afternoon, they also have to send some of the injured family members over.

Zhang Xu took a plate from the table, and then followed a group of children and began to line up to receive the meal.

With so many adults involved in the reconstruction, a few witches set up a tent and set up a makeshift kindergarten, and then gathered the children who were left behind to manage them centrally.

Now the children are led by these witches to lunch.

There aren't many options for lunch, with meats consisting of bacon, chicken thighs and fried fish, potatoes divided into mashed potatoes and french fries, a mixed salad of vegetables, bread and cakes the size of a fist, and a steaming pot of onion soup.

Zhang Xu was served by the wife he had rescued from under the bed that had been crushed by the collapsed roof that day, and her face was much better now than when she was terrified.

Zhang Xu handed over two dinner plates, and his wife, who recognized Zhang Xu, asked while cooking, "Mr. Zhang, are you free for the past two days?" ”

Zhang Xu looked at her in surprise, he shouldn't know her, how did she know herself?

The other party saw Zhang Xu's question, and she said, "It was Mrs. Weasley who told me, and I told her about you saving me and my daughter while we were chatting. ”

"I want to take a photo with you with my daughter."

Zhang Xu nodded and said, "No problem, I'll come to you after a while." ”

Soon, Zhang Xu returned to the nearby long table and chair with two lunches that were a little more than others. These are said to be tables and chairs, but they were actually cut back from the nearby forest and broken in half from large trees of different diameters and placed there.

"Maggie, it's your lunch." Zhang Xu placed a dinner plate in front of Maggie McGonagall.

"Thank you." Maggie is feeding a two-year-old child.

"How's your house?" Zhang Xu asked, Professor McGonagall's relatives moved to Hogsmeade last year.

"Although the house was destroyed, my father and uncle and I all ran out in time." Maggie replied.

"It's good that people are okay." Zhang Xu didn't bother Maggie, who was taking care of the children, and came to Rodney's side with his lunch.

"Why do you have more than mine?" Rodney said to Zhang Xu dissatisfied.

"If you eat it again, it's going to really turn into Rhodes oil." Zhang Xu said as he put his bowl of onion soup in front of Rodney, "Then I'll give this to you." ”

After so many years, Zhang Xu still stays away from onion soup, and basically he won't touch it except for the hibiscus cooking.

"Yo, you two have a really good relationship."

Zhang Xu looked at the visitor with a dark face, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

"Hello Mr. Rodney, have you eaten?"

After a brief introduction and greetings, the elder Rodney and Viscount Hood sat down beside Rodney. However, if it weren't for Zhang Xu and Rodney having today's lunch in front of them, it would be a bit like a three-class trial.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xu remembered something, and he asked Mr. Rodney Sr., "Sir, I don't know about the zombie incident last time, do you have any countermeasures?" ”

Old Rodney thought for a moment, then said, "It's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”

"According to the investigation, this zombie virus is different from the last time. This time, the virus is spread through drinking water, and the disease can occur some time after drinking. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xu frowned, "Then are there any preventive measures?" ”

"Just boil the water before drinking." Rodney Sr. said.

"Makes sense." Zhang Xu couldn't refute it.

"And how did you explain this to the people?" Zhang Xu continued to ask, "I guess it's hard to block the news about this matter, right?" ”

During this time, Zhang Xu didn't care much about the news of the ordinary world, so he didn't know how the British government explained this matter to the people.

"Where the scale of the outbreak is small, just make excuses to fool around." Rodney Sr. said, "The few places that can't be concealed are said to be the chemical weapons dropped by the Germans in World War II that were not discovered in time and then leaked." ”
