Theseus Scamander

War heroes of the First World War.

1914 – Gellert Grindelwald begins a rapid rise in Europe and leads his followers to continue to cause unrest in the countries of Irving, attempting to overthrow the wizarding order ruled by the International Confederation of Wizards.

At that time - Archer Evermund, then British Minister for Magic, urgently legislated to prohibit wizards from participating in war.

Because of Dumbledore, Grindelwald never brought the war to England.

The British Ministry of Magic chose to sit on the sidelines, understandably.

The reason given by Archer Evermond was that if Britain entered the war, it could be a serious violation of the International Secrecy Act.

Saying this is basically pure fart.

At that time, Europe was in a hurry, and who cared about the "Secrets Act".

If you don't want to go to war, just say you don't want to, and it's really shameless to look on the wall and find yourself a lofty excuse.

At the time, Henry Potter, who was working at the Wizengamot, had made a Zuan export of the Minister of Magic's policies. But verbal oral gymnastics did not change the position of the British Ministry of Magic on this war far away in Europe.

Anyway, the war can't affect him, so he doesn't care what he does.

Henry Potter's rich poisonous tongue skills were partly passed on to his great-grandson, Harry Potter.

However, although the British Ministry of Magic has been ill from time to time. But the masses at the bottom still expressed sympathy for the European occupation.

Especially with the Hogwarts graduates at the time.

Under the influence of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Dumbledore – they all can't wait to get ready to go to war and go to Europe to do the right thing.

Theseus Scamander, a graduate of Hufflepuff House, is one of them.

In 1916, after two years of silence, Theseus Scamander launched a call for support in the war in Europe, which was met with excitement throughout Britain, and soon a thousand-strong wizarding army was assembled to participate in the wizarding war.

After the end of this battle, Theseus Scamander himself was ranked among the heroes of the war.

At the end of the war in 1918, the Federation won a great victory.

Grindelwald was forced to go underground.

In 1926, he amassed a large enough reactionary political Umno Party, after which he entered the Magical Congress of the United States disguised as a high-ranking Auror Percival Graves, and became a boy with a mysterious background, Credence Byerburn, (The Story of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 1). ）

Since then, it has symbolized the rapid expansion of Grindelwald's power.

Over the next 12 years, he continued to gather strength.

Finally, in 1938, he openly waged war against the global wizarding world.

Grindelwald reached the pinnacle of power.

A large enough organization to resist the International Confederation of Wizards.

Theseus Scamander is deeply involved in the wizarding war that has engulfed half the world.

Historical name: The First Global Wizarding War.

It should be noted that the wars waged by Voldemort are called: the First Wizarding War and the Second Wizarding War (after resurrection).

In terms of depth and breadth, it is not comparable to the global wizarding wars set off by Grindelwald.

It can be said that Theseus Scamander himself participated in almost all the wars of the last hundred years.

The record is also going from one victory to another.

His personal prestige is also rising, and he may have the highest prestige in England except for Dumbledore.

And Theseus Scamander was also a wizard who perfectly practiced the Hufflepuff spirit.

He was never greedy for power, he only did what he had to do and what was right.

You must know that with his prestige, it was more than enough to be elected Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, but he himself never had any intention of taking power, and after the end of the first wizarding war against Voldemort, he announced his retirement.

And like the Knights of the Round Table depicted in the legendary British dynasty - Camelot, when the kingdom is once again in crisis, this noble knight will surely draw his sword and emerge from the countryside to defend his country.

Now on the entire Eastern Front, the supreme commander of the Aurors who encompassed Greece, part of Italy, Egypt, Turkey, and part of the support of France, Germany, and England was none other than Theseus.

It's fitting for him to hold this position.

After all—even Dumbledore had no experience directly commanding thousands of wizards in battle.

But Theseus was already experienced at the age of twenty.

Of course, Barty Crouch, the British Minister for Magic, who had just been deflated by the Muggle Prime Minister, must not have wanted to see Theseus Scamander in command.

That negotiation with the Muggle Prime Minister disgraced him.

Mr. Huck didn't show much interest in him from start to finish, but rather took Dumbledore very seriously.

The two didn't know how long they continued to talk after he left.

Anyway, Theseus Scamander, a Dumbledore through and through, Barty Crouch had ten thousand thoughts in his heart that wanted to pull him down from his current position.

It's a pity - it's completely useless for him to think so.

Because Theseus Scamander has resigned from the Ministry of Magic, he is now a special command advisor to the International Federation of Wizards, and is not subject to the control of Crouch the Elder.

And with the prestige of Theseus, what qualifications does he Crouch have to dictate.

The Wizarding Coalition also recognized the commander.

At least the federation didn't send them a civil servant to do their office.

Eastern Front Command.

On that luxurious Muggle yacht.

Theseus was frowning and peering through the telescope at the battle beyond the Veil.

The combat effectiveness of wizards in various countries is uneven, and the battle line is pulled from the east to the west and from the west, and they are constantly in a flexible adaptation.

From time to time, a small wave of bad omen will rush out.

And he can only keep sending people to the top.

If this continues, the battle line will soon crumble, because you will never know the level of Egyptian, Greek, Italian, etc., wizards in the same trench around you.

It is possible that he is struggling to resist, and the battle line on his side is loose, and then a small group of evil omen sons will emerge to give you a sneak attack from behind, two bread sandwiches.

Therefore, the wizards on the front line always keep a hand.

He didn't do his best, and most of his attention was on the other wizards around him.

Such a sorcerer army that drags each other can resist the children of evil omen.

"Theseus, is there any news from the ministers of magic? When will we be able to enter the Veil! ”

Theseus' side, Sirius asked anxiously.

Other wizards.

For example, Lady Maxime, Professor McGonagall, and Snape had already replenished the forward defensive line.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of this group of professors that their battle line would have collapsed long ago.

Stay with these coalition bugs! How to do a good job of defense!

Theseus threw his fist at the yacht's railing.

Because just now, in his footage, another wizard who escaped from the battlefield was staged, causing his teammates to be attacked from both sides.

"There's no news yet!" He said coldly.

The expression is serious and terrifying.

He could see that Moody and Kingsley were doing their best to close the front - but no matter how good the staff officer's plan was, it couldn't be the two men they brought from England to carry out the plan.

Mainly, it has to be carried out by wizards from other countries.

But the result of the execution, so to speak, was even more chaotic than when Hogwarts, Gryffindor, and Slytherin fought each other.

At least Gryffindor and Slytherin both unconditionally believe in their partners around them, and when they fight, although their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the Aurors, they are brave, they are really brave, and if they go up recklessly, nine oxen can't pull them back.

Look at the group of insects in front of you - all of them have ghosts, they are really not as good as little wizards, far worse!

"What are they doing for food, there is no news yet!" Sirius roared angrily.

Of course he is in a hurry, others don't know, can he still not know?

The wizard who fought the mountain-like giant was none other than Owen's boy!

Oh, my God!

What a battle it was, and though it was dark, he had a glimpse of the magic.

If it weren't for the figure he was too familiar with, he would have thought it was Dumbledore fighting inside.

"There's nothing we can do, but there's word from Tonks that Muggles may have a solution."

"Muggles?"

Tonks was now in charge of liaison with Muggles and had become a commissioner for wizards.

She will synchronize information from both sides on the battlefield and provide decision-making information to commanders on both sides.

"What can they do!" Sirius was completely dismissive of this.

The golden veil—somewhat similar to the white curtain he had seen at the core of the World Tree—no need to guess to know—was made of rune-like script.

Can Muggles still crack Runiwen?

No kidding.

And for Sirius's disdain, Theseus was much more solemn.

Although he is nearly 100 years old, his gray hair and the wrinkles on his face make him look very simple.

But in reality, Theseus may have been one of the wizards who knew Muggle weapons best.

He had participated in Grindelwald's speech, and had witnessed Muggle battlefields in both world wars.

Know that they have an unparalleled talent for destroying themselves.

Wizards shouldn't underestimate them.

However, before he could continue to speak, a sudden loud roar in his ears attracted the attention of both parties.

The sky suddenly lit up.

Standing on the deck, everyone subconsciously raised their heads.

Then they saw - countless sparks flew over their heads with long tails of smoke.

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.

The dense rocket artillery was all cathartic on the curtain in an instant.

A huge explosion, louder than thunder.

In the next second, the golden light curtain dimmed a little.

“？？？”

There is no defense in this world that cannot be broken through by a round of long-range rocket artillery, and if there is, then another round.

At the same time - the rain of truth from other countries and regions also arrived, and the explosions sounded again.

The light curtain dimmed a little more.

“？？？”

"This—that's the Muggle way?" Sirius was dumbfounded.

Isn't there anything else to this group of Muggles but 'fried and fried'?

Decades later, have they only learned how to drop bombs efficiently?

Well, what to say!

It's so cool!

But the excitement didn't last long.

Enraged by the cannonfire, the Evil Omen Legion began to launch even more frantic attacks.

The sea rolled and set off huge waves of tens of meters.

The evil omens, on the other hand, rode the wind and waves, condescendingly throwing the fire of corruption at the wizards who were completely unsheltered.

Sirius had already experienced the difficulty of this flame.

The Iron Charm does not completely block it, it is somewhat similar to the Dark Arts Corrosion Charm, and the corrosive effect of the flames will encroach on the effect of the Iron Armor Charm little by little.

Defeating one or two Children of Omen would not be uncomfortable for the wizard, but there were too many of them, and there were no giants to help the wizard attract firepower this time.

Once targeted by dozens of evil omens, under the flames, it is difficult for the wizard to survive unless the phantom escapes.

"I'll go up first." Sirius said. "This creature is a hassle to deal with, and they have no experience."

With that, he phantom and left the yacht.

————————

And on the other side of the battlefield.

Somewhere off the coast of Sicily.

It is located in the easternmost part of the island.

Standing on the shore and looking at the rough sea. The rain was pouring down, and countless members of the Muggle garrison were pulling up a cordon on the coast, forbidding all personnel from approaching.

However, this did not help Hermione and the others, and the few of them easily crossed the blockade and came to a cliffside.

"Hermione—" Behind the girl, Ron looked at the sea with some concern.

"You're really sure the two of their guys' boats can withstand this kind of storm."

"Hi-Ronald, what are you talking about?" George and Fred immediately picked up Ron by themselves, pretending to throw him off the cliff.

"Don't think I don't know, you've spent hours renovating the sailboat, will it work?"

"Let's get into a warship, look there, it's the French fleet! Let's sneak up—" Harry pointed to the far end of the water.

In the midst of the waves, there was a small French fleet, which was riding the wind and waves towards the defense line of the clouds.

Dozens of warplanes flew in the air, and the roar could be heard even if they were standing on the shore.

"Hey-Harry, you don't believe us anymore!"

The twins looked very angry.

"Their ship is as good as our magic ship!" George said, and then groped in his arms.

"That's right, even if it only takes us a few hours to rebuild, it's still stronger than a Muggle ship!" Fred said firmly, "We're the best alchemists at Hogwarts!" ”

"In the future, he will also be the most famous alchemist in the world!" George smiled openly, full of spirit, and exuded the demeanor that he should have at his age.

And Miss Granger, who witnessed all this, lowered her eyes slightly, her teeth were neat, she bit up and down, and her fists were clenched!

She remembered someone.

People who also exude a flamboyant temperament.

- She secretly made up her mind that the next time she met that guy, she wouldn't beat him up hard, and she wouldn't be surnamed Granger in the future!

"Look at this!" Suddenly, George pulled out a glass bottle from the backpack he was carrying.

It's a pretty ordinary glass bottle.

Looking through the bottle, you can see a model of a sailboat inside

And the sailboat does not have sails yet.

"I knew it, I knew it!" Ron shouted, "Let's ride across the sea with a bottle each!" ”

"Shut up!" Fred squeezed his mouth!

George didn't explain, he just drew his wand and cast a long spell on the bottle.

Then he waved his arm and threw the glass bottle into the sea.

A second later - nothing happened on the sea.

Two seconds - the same is true, the cold wind blew several people red.

Three seconds!

Suddenly, the water began to churn, a large wave hit, and a luxury sailing boat about twenty feet (6 meters) long surfaced.

It wasn't a sailing ship from centuries ago.

It looked more like a modern Muggle yacht.

The ship was not made of wood, but of metal, but the deck was covered with a layer of wood.

There were no masts, and three flags were hung at the end of the ship.

The flag of Hogwarts, the flag of Gryffindor, and finally the flag of the Weasley Atelier alchemy.

"We'll name it, Shanny!"

"In memory of our great ancestors." The twins said one by one.

"Get on board!" George said, "Don't stand here in the rain. ”

With that, a few of them jumped off the cliff, and after Hermione cast a subtle shock-absorbing speed stop spell, everyone landed safely on the boat.

"Hermione is definitely the right choice to come back to London and bring us in!" Fred led the young wizards into the cabin where the Infinite Stretch Charm had been cast, and said, "We really only spent a few hours renovating this ship. ”

"But—it's not a lot of things!" George continued, "Stealth, firing artillery, sturdy and durable, withstanding ordinary spells. And it's not powered by the wind, it's powered by magic – like the Nicker. We've designed engines that allow it to travel thousands of miles without losing power.

And we also have a lot of supplies on board. He gestured to the side-by-side rooms in the cabin.

"Everyone has a separate room."

Fred began, "If it weren't for the lack of time, we could have made it fly!" ”

"Fly?" From the moment he stepped on the ship, Ron kept banging and pounding, touching here and kicking there.

He didn't believe at all that the Twins could transform such a large ship in a few hours.

"I just saw some shipyard placard on the wall, where did you get this ship?"

Ron frowned and said, the first step of transformation, you have to have a search ship first!

How to rebuild without a boat?

"Oh! That's thanks to Dobi! George said, "Isn't he helping out in our alchemy workshop?" ”

"When we said we wanted to search for a ship, it got one!"

“？？？” Hermione turned to look at him, "Got one?" ”

"It's borrowed, it's borrowed!" George immediately changed his words, "It's the film director Dobby knew before, he made a fortune making movies, bought a sailboat, and when he heard that Dobby was going to use it, he lent it to him." ”

"The best is borrowed!" Hermione said solemnly that the situation was urgent now, and she didn't have time to investigate the origin of the ship, but that didn't mean she wouldn't track it down afterwards, "Remember to use it up and return it to others." ”

"No problem!" The twins said in unison.

As for whether it will be repaid or not, only God knows.

In the cabin, Riverred came to the rudder's position.

Piloting the magic sailboat is very simple, just wave a wand and it will sail automatically.

George pressed a red button, and the hull of the ship trembled slightly, like their flying car, and after pressing the button, the hull began to become transparent, gradually hiding in the sea.

Riding the wind and waves, the sailboat is quite fast.

Harry and Ron looked curiously out the window at the sea.

Both were on a boat for the first time.

Previously, Weasley's family went to Egypt through the Ministry of Magic's portkey.

The boat ride is a novelty.

However, it didn't take long for the two of them to turn ugly.

"Phew!"

In the cabin, Harry and Ron were each holding a barrel, their mouths glistening with bitterness.

It's just a bump!

Even if the Twins have added magic to the hull to make it smooth.

But this time they weren't facing any ordinary waves.

Besides, Harry Ron was on a boat for the first time, and the experience was terrible for them.

As for the other three.

Fred was too busy driving the boat to get seasick.

George was quickly recording what was on the side, it should be the use experience, for the next transformation.

And Hermione—her heart had already taken wings and flown to the farther seas. The bumps of the sailboat, she didn't realize.

That's it - after about twenty minutes of driving.

Suddenly there were many more Muggle ships around the sailboat.

They had already sailed into the vicinity of the US North Atlantic Fleet.

"Wow! Look where! What a spectacular ship, like a city on the sea! ”

Finally, when there was no more water out of the window, Ron immediately put down the barrel and pointed to a huge ship in the distance.

"I've never seen such a huge ship, it's much more majestic than George's."

Harry, with his pale face, craned his neck and looked through the window.

"That's an aircraft carrier!" He said. "I remember that the British Royal Navy also had such warships."

"Humph! What's the big deal. Because of Ron's words, the twins were a little indignant, "What's the use. ”

"When I go back this time, I'll find Dobby, and we'll get one too!"

"Get one?" Miss Granger squinted at the two living treasures, and a dangerous gaze burst out, "You still want to steal warships?" ”

"What do you mean by stealing!" George retorted, "That's borrowing!" ”

"Yes, borrow it and study it."

"Oh—really?" Hermione pulled out a telescope and took a closer look at the fleets.

Look at the Star-Spangled Banner fluttering above the rudder.

"Then you can try."

"Don't speak English if caught"

“？？？” The Twins looked at Hermione in surprise.

Feed!

Is this your line? Granger!

Are you sure it's not Owen standing here?

And just as the young wizards were arguing with each other, outside—in the sea, there was a sudden spatial distortion, and then a rebellious witch with pink hair, wearing a strange sister's shirt and patched jeans, flew out on a broom.

Then she waved her wand, and the golden light of the original spell caressed the sea.

In an instant, she locked onto the twin boats.
