Although the Death Eaters' attack was repulsed, Hogsmeade also paid a heavy price.

More than half of Hogmodri's buildings, including Lady Padif's teahouse and the Owl Post Office, were completely destroyed, and a large number of residents, including Lady Padif, were seriously injured, and the number of victims is being counted.

And the owl post office was directly hit by a boulder, and the owl inside suffered heavy losses.

If you look down from the air at this moment, the situation of Hogsmeade is similar to that of the city that was bombed after World War II.

Fortunately, a downpour arrived in time, the heavy rain contained the spread of the fire, and the wizards who had eliminated the stone men quickly extinguished the fire, and then all of them were engaged in intense rescue work.

"Meow meow! ”

Jiang stood on the edge of the floor on the third floor of a half-collapsed house and yelled at Zhang Xu downstairs.

I don't know how Hood cultivated ginger and fish cakes, they are now performing very well in the search and rescue meow position, so Zhang Xu borrowed ginger and put it into the search and rescue work together.

Zhang Xu, who received the signal, soon came to the third floor, and from the pink decoration hanging on the only remaining wall and the small desk on the wall, this was a child's room. The ceiling above the room had all collapsed, crushing the whole room.

After feeding ginger a small dried fish and letting him take a look at the ruins next door, Zhang Xu transformed into a giant panda, and then threw the broken beams and broken tiles downstairs to confirm that there was no one left.

The collapsed roof didn't hold people down, and there was only a sturdy wooden bed underneath.

Lifting the wooden bed, a young mother is hiding underneath her three-year-old daughter.

There was no shelter above, and the pouring rain soon drenched the wife who was only wearing pajamas and the little Lori in her arms, and the icy rain made them shiver.

"The coat is flying!"

The two coats in the ruins downstairs immediately flew to Zhang Xu's hands.

"Wipe it out!"

"Waterproof and moisture-proof!"

After drying the two coats with a spell and making them into temporary raincoats, Zhang Xu draped them over his wife and Lori, and then used the spell to dry the rain on their bodies.

"Madam, are you uncomfortable with your child?" Zhang Xu asked.

The lady didn't seem to have recovered from the blow, but just shook her head blankly.

Zhang Xu took the mother and daughter to the ground, and then shouted to the side: "Luna, come and bring this wife and her daughter to the resettlement site!" ”

Luna, who was searching for survivors with Ginger next door, hurriedly ran over, helped hug little Lori who was shivering with one hand, and led her wife to the disaster settlement outside the village with the other.

After sending off the mother and daughter, Zhang Xu wiped his face with sweat or rain, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them were the last survivors of this neighborhood.

In the immediate aftermath of the Hogsmeade massacre, Professor McGonagall ordered the sixth and seventh year students at Hogwarts to join the rescue effort with the tents and sleeping bags that the school had stocked.

And Harry Potter, Hogwarts' super-protected animal, has long been stuffed into the secret room, under the strict supervision of several professors.

A tent had now been erected in the open space of Hogsmeade in the direction of Hogwarts, and the flag of St. Mungo's Hospital for the Wounded and Wounded was hanging on the flagpole in the middle of the tent area, and the rain-soaked flag hung down from the top of the flagpole.

The settlement was built on a makeshift magically built earthen platform nearly a meter higher than the surrounding ground, and rainwater flowed down the drainage ditch on the platform to the surrounding ground, preventing the water from backing up into the tents.

As soon as Luna and the mother and daughter walked to the earthen platform, Hannah hurried over and picked them up.

Hannah took the mother and daughter to a warm tent, the rain crackled the tent, but the tent was warm and not damp at all.

Two St. Mungo's doctors, who had arrived to help, were doing a simple bandaging on a wounded man who had only suffered minor injuries, and the mother and daughter were sitting in a queue on a chair next to them.

After the doctor examined the mother and daughter briefly and found that they were not injured except for some colds, and gave each of them a bottle of medicine for colds, Hannah took them to another tent with a lot of space inside.

The tent was used to house the victims, and there were already several families of women in it, most of whom were adults sitting at the table in the middle of the tent, silent, apparently frightened, while the children were already asleep in their sleeping bags.

In the middle of the tent was a fire pit with hot firewood, which not only increased the temperature of the tent, but also hung a steaming kettle on top of it.

When she saw the newcomers coming in, Ginny picked up the kettle and poured a glass of hot milk for each mother.

As Hannah prepares to return to St. Mungo's Hospital's medical doctor's tent, she sees several men rushing towards Hogwarts on stretchers.

It was a seriously wounded person who was being transferred to Hogwarts, where they would be treated further by other healers at the castle.

After Luna sent the people to the resettlement site, she returned to the neighborhood just now, and she saw Zhang Xu squatting by the rubble and busy carefully, so she walked over.

One of the victims unfortunately did not make it out of the house when the boulder fell, and Zhang Xu was peeling the crushed and burned body from the rubble as intact as possible, and then storing it in a body bag that had been prepared.

After hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Zhang Xu turned around and saw that it was Luna coming. He made a chaser gesture towards Luna, then told her to go back to the settlement to help. The next job of collecting the bodies of the victims was not suitable for a young girl like her, so Zhang Xu asked her to leave.

In the back garden of a house that has become a ruin, a stone man steps on a pit in the dirt is once again filled with standing water.

By this time, the rain had stopped all night, and the water in the pit had slowly returned after it had been cleared.

Zhang Xu sat on the ruins not far away, lit a cigarette and looked at the sky that began to light up in the east.

The two bodies he had just collected in that footprint pit were the last of the victims found in Hogmodry, an unfortunate father and his child.

Zhang Xu thought of a lot of ways, but in the end he still couldn't separate the two of them.

At this time, a person sat next to Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu turned his head and took a look, and the person who came was Helen, the owner of the house. When Zhang Xu first came to Hogwarts, she was in the seventh year, and the two were only nodding friends in Ravenclaw House, and the next year she married her boyfriend, who was two years older than herself, not long after graduating. She now works at Wizarding Weekly, and last night's overtime saved her, but her husband and children were killed.

Helen's trembling hand reached for the cigarette case in Zhang Xu's hand, and she tried several times but couldn't get the cigarette out of it.

Zhang Xu helped her take out a cigarette, lit it, and stuffed it between the index and middle fingers of her left hand.

She took a deep breath, then sat still, letting the snow-white cigarette in her hand turn into a long stretch of ash.

"Thank you for ...... them," Helen said halfway through.

"Condolences." Zhang Xu said softly.

Helen sat there and wept silently, tears dripping down her jaw like the faucet of a valve.

Today, sorrow and tears envelop Hogsmeade.
