"In order to better protect you and your families, after the completion of the Wizarding Elementary School and Temple University, the expansion will be around the Hogwarts area, and the expansion will be temporarily expanded to a large area around the area, and corresponding residences and blocks will be built, and the industries under the umbrella company such as laboratories and farms will also be used as headquarters after the expansion, and they will also be able to provide convenient services for students' teaching and university research projects, and we will all move to live around Hogwarts... Even if it is your Squib Muggle relatives, as long as they are relatives you care about and are willing to give up their lives in the Muggle world, they can move here, and the Ministry of Magic will provide convenience and assistance in this regard, and the wizards who are best at forgetting the Charm charm will make the unwilling Muggles forget this invitation... In addition, the Ministry of Magic will complete its representations to the International Confederation of Wizards in this regard. ”

This remark about Muggles and the International Federation of Wizards caused a lot of people to whisper, but Hermione did not stop introducing, and Lunn continued to show the drawings that showed various buildings and reports on the original vacant land of Hogwarts in addition to the original campus and Hogsmeade Village.

"In our wizarding world, there are very few neighborhoods and villages that wizards themselves have, such as Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and they are all small areas, small areas of gathering places, and there are no cities that belong to wizards at all. And Alan took advantage of the opportunity of this Hogwarts renovation and expansion, and planned to expand Hogwarts into a safe and prosperous wizarding city, and also welcomed all wizards who pursued knowledge to come and settle down..."Hermione's face was full of excitement, and Ankh above his head shook his feathers impatiently, "If all goes well, the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic and the headquarters of St. Mungo's Hospital will be moved here, and the original site will only be used as a branch." ”

The construction of the wizarding city is certainly exciting, but at the same time, it has also sparked discussions among the wizards in the audience.

Compared to those wizards who seemed to have heard of this arrangement for the first time, and realized that this was a means of surveillance in disguise, they did not have the courage to say anything about it, and the wizarding families with sufficient qualifications had already prepared for Harris's request to gather and live together, and they had been persuaded in advance that it was meaningless, which was actually a good thing for them outsiders to huddle together, and they could use the armed forces of the umbrella to avoid being attacked by local pure-bloods when the struggle was fierce.

It's just about the International Federation of Wizards and Wizards, so that they have eaten a deflated once are a little concerned, most wizards don't treat their Muggle relatives as real relatives, but between the environment and Hermione's identity at this time, they don't have to worry too much about it, anyway, Muggles who don't want to be cast the Oblivion Charm, which is at least the past on the surface - and the essence of this regulation seems to be to serve the young master of the Harris family, and the number of Muggle-born female companions should not be too many.

But on the other hand, these wizards focused on the good graphical reports on the planning papers, for wizards, with the ability to apply magic in space in defiance of physical rules and similar traceless expansion charms, they were too much more than Muggles in the field of architecture, and as long as luxury materials were not considered, some civilian wizards with poor grades could easily renovate their homes - the only relatively expensive thing was the suitability of building a new office building for the Ministry of Magic, if the decision passed.

So the building seems to be on a grand scale, but in fact, in addition to the construction of the elementary school and the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, other projects are within the reasonable range of their perception, and the trouble of building the building itself comes more from how to fill these houses with wizards.

"If you can really do it... It would be a feat if we could accomplish it! We would be the envy of all wizarding worlds... Wizard's City!"

"To create a city-level wizard colony....that would require a lot of people... The staff area means that even the umbrella employees will be assigned to the house, but close to us, I'm afraid it's enough to support such a large area..."

"But what's the point of the circle that surrounds Hogwarts and its surroundings? It seems to be centered around Hogwarts, including the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lagoon, Hogsmeade, and the planned area of the schooltown, and it seems that the explanation on the report will dig down, turning the ground into a hemisphere... And the loose dirt has to turn into hard rock... I really can't understand why this is done, it kind of looks like half a cut egg in the shell..."

......

"This needs to be kept secret for the time being, but it can be revealed that this project has something to do with what my brother has spent a lot of money on research so far... When this is done, Hogwarts will become a sacred place for all wizards. Lunn put the drawings away, "Now, let's have some fun." ”

The celebration party resumed, and the atmosphere relaxed from the tense and serious just now.

After the announcement was completed, Alan exchanged a few words with his brothers, and then his eyes turned to his father at the long table.

Owen had already left the table and was standing behind someone, playing cards at the most intense and critical moment, and he had no time to pay attention to them.

Alan took a few steps closer and saw that his sister Emily was already sitting in Owen's place, and Owen was behind Aimei, leaning forward with his hands on the back of Emily's chair, leaning forward, paying attention to the dynamics of the card table - the father and daughter positions had been completely reversed.

The red-nosed wizard Grimson's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and he stared at the little girl in front of him and said menacingly: "I'll follow you, and I'll be 30 gold galleons older than you." ”

He picked up a stack of chips and threw them in the middle of the long table, making a gesture of indifference.

Emily pressed the card lightly to her mouth, squinted her eyes in thought, and showed a look that seemed to be a little embarrassed, which made Grimson on the other side couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his ear.

Owen said behind Emily's back, "Sweet Bear, I think he's going to win you." ”

Emily turned around, blocked her mouth with a card, and whispered to Owen, "He's bluffing... He touched his ears as soon as he bluffed. ”

Grimson straightened his feathered felt hat, and noticed the whispering of the father and daughter in front of him, "How is it, are you following?"

Emily turned around and smirked at Owen.

"Of all the children, you and I are the most similar!" Owen whispered in Emily's ear, looking up at a composed, Grimson, "Down with him!"

Emily smiled, turned around, threw all the stacks of weights in front of her on the table, and said firmly, "With you~"

Grimson put the cards in his hand on the table, leaned back helplessly, and exaggerated to the wizards around him, "I hate this kid!"

"What are you guys doing?!" Morgan Lefay's suppressed anger rang out.

The sound suddenly made Owen, who was gathering his chips, straighten up, and his eyes widened in horror.

Emily quickly jumped down from the chair, pointed to Owen beside her, and shirked the responsibility without hesitation: "Dad taught me! I wanted to play with Daisy for a long time!"

With that, Emily jumped out and ran away.

Ignoring his daughter, Morgan Lefay looked at Owen with incredulous eyes: "Owen, are you teaching Emily to gamble?"

Owen froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to react, his eyes turned on the cheeks of the circle of people on the long table, only to see that their faces were a little timid and did not look at their wives, but they still couldn't help but show a gloating look, Grimson even spread his hands at him, making a helpless underbeating posture, but with a look of watching the show on his face.

Morgan Lefay straightened his back, folded his hands around his chest, and said solemnly to Owen, "Owen, I have to talk to you." ”

"I'm sorry, Morgan Lefay, there's something we can talk about back home. Owen gestured to the table, "If I leave, they won't be able to get together, and that will be a big disappointment." ”

Morgan Lefay was speechless for a moment, she understood that Owen knew that he would not do anything to him in public, so he would not leave.

"Father, since my mother has something to do with you, let me accompany the elders to play a few cards, so that there are enough people. Hearing this, Alan walked over and took Owen's place, he sat in Emily's place, and sorted out Owen's chips on the table.

Looking at Owen's indescribable bitter expression, instead of sympathizing with this, these wizards on the long table cheered up one by one. Grimson's red nose looked even redder from excitement, and he said with a full breath: "Hurry up Owen, it's enough to have Alan here, Morgan Lefay is still waiting for you!"

Owen, who had no reason to continue to shirk, had no choice but to follow Morgan Lefay out of the principal's office.

"Vladimir! Split! Split! Let's continue. Owen's frustrated look made Grimson, who had just lost, excited, and he urged the long-eyed dealer, who was a dealer, to deal his cards.

Soon, Grimson's mood became bad again, it seemed that Allen's playing level was far higher than that of Owen and Emily, and after a few rounds, the chips in front of him were reduced by half: "Didn't you bad boy spend all your energy on research, why do you still play cards for so much time, how can you be so lucky..."

Lowering his head, Alan raised his head when he heard this, and waved the cards in his hand: "My luck is up to me." ”

Grimson touched his red nose, "Owen revealed something to us old immortals... We will get the juniors to support you... Let's hope you're lucky enough to lead us from our last failure to success... This is a pity for us, but I didn't expect it to be possible one day..."

The old man's words were echoed by the other old men, who did not speak, but looked firmly at Allen, who was staring at them, and nodded under the focus of the other's gaze.

"Thank you, I will..."Alan responded gratefully, and then flashed the hole cards in his hand, "This is my win again, old gentlemen, please push out some chips, Long Eyes, please push them to me..."

"I hate the Harris kids!"

Later, Allen seemed to be completely free to attack, and once again he won again and again, piling most of the old man's chips in front of him, and then in the new game, when Allen looked down, Grimson suddenly shouted, "Slow! Look up and let me look into your eyes!"

Everyone was reminded, and they found that the pupil of Allen's left eye had shrunk to a small pupil in the middle, and the rest of the eyes showed a large white of the eye: "This eye is....too cunning! This family is too cunning!"

"I don't know how you got it!I'd be glad to see it at other times!But you're cheating with prophecy!" Gremson muttered angrily, "Mr. Grindelwald wouldn't do that when we played!Give me back your pocket money!"

"Don't be angry!" Allen said with the corners of his mouth curled up and begged for mercy, while returning the chips stacked in front of him to the old man, keeping only a little bit for himself, and then he beckoned to himself behind his back, "Then let this Miss Luna Lovegood continue in my place, she didn't know how to play before, but she should have learned almost everything after watching it for a long time." ”

Everyone was surprised to notice that there was a little girl with light blond hair standing behind Allen, who looked confused and had already sat down in the position that Allen had moved out of the way.
