Since the open and secret battle in the international wizarding community, in the face of the international pressure on Hogwarts, the British wizarding community is now more and more obviously feeling the impact of the embargo on all aspects of life and economy.

The anti-British Wizarding Alliance led by the German and Bulgarian wizarding circles in this operation has risen up to impose a trade blockade on the British wizarding community in a more targeted manner, focusing on cutting off all kinds of imported raw materials from the UK, and they use their own influence on other countries and provoke others to fear the rise of the UK.

The corresponding embargo measures that followed more closely were further refined and quickly implemented, just like the United Kingdom banned the use of flying carpets in the Arabian Magical Territories, and the magic ships of Hogwarts were also boycotted by other countries and banned from entering the territory, although there was no transportation difficulty for wizards to use the Traceless Stretching Charm, but this attitude still showed the determination of other countries.

They have adopted more targeted sanctions against Harris's umbrella group, and aimed at the pharmaceutical industry, which is also the most powerful in the umbrella, focusing on increasing the pharmaceutical costs of the umbrella while controlling the import of raw materials, and at the same time aggressively suppressing the price of finished drugs, in order to make the umbrella drugs unable to obtain profit margins- They tried to make the Umbrella so expensive to make potions that it was not profitable at all, and the end result of these alliances was not only to deprive the Umbrella of its economic backbone, but also to try to make the Harris lose their confidence in confrontation by attacking the Umbrella's most advantageous projects at any cost.

These countries were initially not supported by some wizard merchants in their country to close their trade to the British, but with the pressure of the pure-bloods behind the Ministry of Magic and the restriction of a new decree, they had no choice but to stop trading with the British in the face of reduced profits and the risks associated with it.

But before these things have developed to this point, the Umbrella has been prepared, making large purchases and introducing seeds of some rare plants in an attempt to produce them on the floating city using energy cores, and in the face of confrontation regardless of gains and losses, and even if you count the support of friendly countries like France, it does not show any disadvantage - but it also gives Harris's opponents a further reason to baash Harris: they can protect themselves, but they don't care about the lives of others.

After this new public opinion attack, these allies further expanded their offensive against each other, and under the plan formulated by Muggles and half-blood wizards, the pure-blood families behind these countries and the elves who were on opposite sides because of the establishment of the Harris Wizarding Bank completed the alliance, they integrated their funds, and began to come to the British wizarding world to contact the pure-blood families of the anti-Harris in the United Kingdom, and bought the original raw materials of the British wizarding world regardless of the gains and losses, so as to further destroy the production and economy of the United Kingdom- This did play a role, the lack of raw materials led to a significant reduction in the production output of some enterprises, and some people who had not participated in the previous anti-Harris family closure movement also fell into the dilemma of imminent shutdown.

This also made more wizards lose their jobs after the anti-Harris pure-blood family closed their businesses in the United Kingdom, and some pure-blood families who did not want to side with each other and just wanted to live a normal life were forced to start thinking about joining the anti-Harris camp because of the loss of business.

This is the purpose of Harris's opponents' attack, they want to wait for the British Ministry of Magic and Harris can't help but come forward, according to the plan announced by their previous wizarding bank, and start to fund the rescue of these enterprises and individuals, and no matter how strong the financial strength of individual countries and individuals is, they must not be able to compare with the combined strength of the allies, if they fall into a long-term economic struggle, this will make the British social system fall into disorder, and after more variables, Harris can be further hit and may even make the other party lose control of the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, the recent news of wizarding media, whether it is the front-page headlines of various magazines or the news of Harris's own TV station, seems to be inseparable from the topic of economy, which has become the most concerned topic in the British wizarding community and even other wizarding circles.

At the old Three Broomsticks Bar in Hogsmeade Village, Hogwarts, the curvaceous, well-faced Lady Rosmerta is tending to a group of noisy wizards at the bar, preferring to take care of the old store and communicate with the regular customers rather than her new, high-traffic store in the mall.

The wizards' attention was not focused on the charming landlady as most of the time, but on the news on the wizarding TV hanging on the bar.

"Now the news in this country is only shit, shit, shit and rain..."A wizard slammed his glass on the table, "What the hell is the Magical Congress of America doing, those countries in Europe are here, Dirk, where have we offended them except for those goblins of yours?" and actually took the lead in promulgating such a decree...."

"They're imitating their Muggle government's 'Torricelli Law', and the national corporations that have traded with us in the UK can't do business in the United States for half a year, and luckily we wizards don't need those Muggle ships to deliver things..."

"Even our tea is within the scope of the ban on trade... Ravenclaw on... These Yankees must have been premeditated to train themselves to drink coffee...... I tasted this bubbling gray at the recommendation of an American student in the Commercial Plaza... It's disgusting when I think about it now. The wizard seemed to be disgusted by the bad memories that emanated from his mouth, he took a quick sip of wine, and then as if remembering something, he raised his glass and looked around at his companions, "But doesn't that just show that the strength and development potential of our country is now terrifying to the world, as long as we survive this difficult time... Come, have a drink for our mighty Hogwarts. ”

After a crisp clinking of glasses and a higher than the applause, the wizard lowered his glass and hissed a burp.

Dirk Chryswell grimaced as he put down his glass: "But the decree that the United States has made like this... If other countries that oppose us follow suit... Our neighbors across the ocean are unreliable, and you know the flag of their Muggle government? I heard that it was because they cut the other two ends of the tricolor flag and left the middle section for surrender..."

The group was interrupted by a commotion outside the tavern, and they moved out the window to look.

It turned out that in the streets of Hogsmeade, the unemployed wizards and merchants who had been unable to start work due to the decline in production due to the embargo had gathered, staring at the clouds overhead, holding aloft wooden signs with ever-changing words, and loudly expressing their protest.

These anxious, angry protesters have been present in the various areas of the noisy and prosperous Floating City for several days, and the despair and decay on the faces of these people have made many foreigners who have come to feel the stark contrast between the prosperity and the advanced in the sky.

"We protest that the Ministry of Magic's recent reckless actions have made it difficult for us to continue to live on. ”

"Soaring production and operating costs and plummeting prices of goods have put our production and life in a difficult situation, and our Ministry of Magic has done nothing about it, as if it wants to let us go, regardless of our lives or deaths!"

"The Wizard Bank help promised by the Umbrella Group has not yet been reached, and no one has come forward to say that they will help us, which is infuriating and chilling. ”

......

The media's cameras focused on the protest slogans, banners, and other items held aloft by the protesting wizards: "Strongly demand that Hogwarts compromise and lift the embargo abroad", "Bullshit decision to tear the economy apart", "Embargo culprit Harris at the top"...

Although the armed forces of the Umbrella will increase or decrease their numbers according to the number of protesters, they are only on high alert for this, no one has stepped forward to stop these wizards, they obviously can't do anything about it, these protesters have no real violent resistance, they have not caused trouble to harass other wizards or shops, and they have no way to hinder the movement of these people under their unusual request for restraint from the head of the Red Umbrella Department, Miss Crivat.
