A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 170 The Snowball of the Era

Things really went awry as Yuria planned.

Felix walked out of the hotel, the flash of the magic camera flickered blindingly, and puffs of purple smoke came out of the camera.The reporters from the French magic circle were so excited that they seemed to have taken a manic potion, and abnormal flushes appeared from the wings of their noses to their necks.

There were two wizards in black robes standing in the courtyard, leaving a circle around them.People seem to have an ambivalence, wanting to take a closer look, but also have some hidden worries, so they choose a position that is neither awkward nor embarrassing.

Their masks have all been taken off, revealing two young faces.One of them is Uriah, the student leader, and the other is Bethany's younger brother Byers.

"Byers, you don't need to follow." Yuria whispered.

"Anyway, I've already been seen, so what are you afraid of? I just want to see Bethany before I'm locked up." Byers said indifferently.

"Maybe you'll regret it."

"At least not yet. Why haven't they arrested us? The reporters have been filming for a while, and to be honest, the flashes dazzled me."

Yuria said rationally: "The longer the delay, the better. See, Celeste is stupid."

Celeste was really stupid. She was warning Moore, who kept wiping sweat, in an orderly tone, "Mr. Director, you can't let reporters in. This is related to the diplomacy of the two countries."

Moore spit out a string of vague French: "I can't control them. Journalists have this right."

"At least take these two students away?"

"I can't make the decision. It's about the diplomacy of the two countries." Moore replied with the same words. "I have informed the minister that I will not do anything until he comes. Maybe you can do it yourself."

Of course, Celeste wouldn't be so stupid as to do it himself. Didn't you see that the reporters outside were already so excited that they were about to explode?
She wants to add another fire?

Then what will her reputation look like tomorrow!

Once again, Celeste felt that she was out of play. She walked up to Cecil and squeezed a word out of her teeth: "Where are our people?"

"I was lured away by people from the Reform Society. When I came back, the attack was over. They are now going out to try their luck to see if they can find someone. There is no news yet." Cecil said.

"Get these idiots back! What's the use of arresting people now, they've all come to their door." Celeste said angrily. She felt that the chair in her office in the Woolworth Building had grown legs, and her hat Wings were planted—in short, everything seemed to leave her.

"Sorry, I can't get in touch." Cecil shrugged.

"Look outside! Someone is coming again!" said a short reporter.

"The minister is here?" asked the reporter next to him.

"...more black-robed soldiers!" The short reporter couldn't wait to put a new name on Yuria and the others, as tomorrow's headlines.

No, it's the headline tonight!

A dozen reporters rushed out with black cameras on their shoulders. Amidst their excited expressions, dozens of wizards in black robes appeared at the Boothrace Hotel. They wore masks on their faces and kept silent all the way, with neat footsteps , This kind of style particularly attracted the attention of reporters.

Maxwell asked for instructions: "Director, what should we do?"

Moore looked up at the sky, concentrating on studying the shape of a cloud, as if some great discovery was hidden there.So, under the watchful eyes of the staff of the French Ministry of Magic, the students of Ilvermorny walked into the courtyard without any hindrance.

Uriah and Byers looked at their arrogant companions with dull expressions, and they didn't recover until they walked in front of them.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to leave? Just write a letter..."

"Hey, Uriah, we have completed the task, but before we leave, we made up our minds and felt that it would be a good idea to miss this excitement." An enthusiastic voice said.

"Matt..." Uriah whispered.

"It's me." The wizard who spoke lifted off his mask, revealing a bright smile.

"And me, Uria." A witch with a ponytail lifted her mask and winked at him.

"Haha, I can't just slip away like this." A cheerful wizard lifted his mask with a smile.

"Yes, he is right, and I am not willing to leave like this."

"Coincidentally, I thought so too."

……

The wizards in black robes lifted their masks one by one. There are men and women, tall and short, fat and thin, but they are all full of youthfulness.

Seeing this scene, Celeste was completely dumbfounded, her lips opened and closed silently, and her expression was dull.

Not only her, Moore, Cecil, Maxwell, Bubbaji, reporters, Muggle studies experts, one by one present, were all shocked by this picture.

After a short pause, the courtyard of the hotel was boiling, and the shutter sound of the magic camera was connected together, as noisy as a buzzer.

Over Paris, owls streak across the sky.

Faced with this situation, a small head of the Department of Law Enforcement cannot handle it at all.

The French Minister of Magic arrived first, but he also found it tricky.Hesitating between grasping and not grasping, at this moment, figures appeared through Apparition.

"American!"

The French Minister of Magic said in surprise.

A woman strode over, "Hi, minister, I am entrusted by the chairman, and I came to communicate with you first. He will arrive later, you know, to appease the Congress..."

"Have you received the news?"

The woman said helplessly: "This is also one of the contents to be communicated, my God, they really have great powers."

"We're the first ones—with the portkeys and apparitions in reserve. There may be some wizarding populace who'll be following this closely..."

Her words are a bit conservative, and she is definitely not just "some" enthusiastic people.

After three or four hours, people who got the news filled the small half of the valley.

The French Minister of Magic urgently transferred one-third of the staff to take over the security work in the area around the hotel.

Vacations are canceled, fishing is prohibited, and overtime is passed through.All kinds of concealment and protective spells were poured down like rain, and the Busleys Hotel temporarily disappeared in the eyes of ordinary people.

Felix stood in the corner and observed silently, not knowing where things would end up.But that girl named Bethany, and the young people who lead them, are afraid that they will be recorded in the annals of history.

Even if he is just an outsider, he can't help but look forward to how things will develop, especially when he has witnessed how this group of students made this decision.

Big names keep coming.

The chairman of the Magical Congress of America, the principal of Ilvermorny School, a member of the International Federation of Wizards, and a familiar figure—Albus Dumbledore, he is the president of the International Federation of Wizards.

"Dumbledore, you're here too." Markus, the chairman of the Magical Congress of America, strode forward to greet him.

"Marcus, I have to come. The commotion has already reached my unskilled ears. One can imagine the impact of the matter."

"No one expected that ... MPs are angry, they want to punish these students severely."

"How to do it? Put them in prison?" Dumbledore's expression was very serious, and his silver-white beard trembled: "With all due respect, Marcus, any actions you take now will affect several years, ten years In the future, it will directly reflect on you in the end, and no one can escape."

"Yeah, I just learned that they did break the law, but the nature is not bad. The most important thing is - the impact is huge. Once it is not handled well, it may be next Monday at the latest, and these people outside will flood in Woolworth Building, topple the entire Magic Congress!"

"Look, Dumbledore, there are almost 1000 people outside."

Felix didn't listen carefully, he walked out of the hotel and looked at the crowd that was still gathering, more than half of them were American visitors.

With these enthusiastic people around, if there is no result discussed in the hotel, the big shots might not be able to get out.

A French staff member maintaining order said dissatisfiedly: "In fact, they can all be regarded as smuggled immigrants... It's just that no one cares about it at this juncture."

"But I hope that after the fact, these Yankees will be punished severely!"

……

Felix stood on a hillside, overlooking the hotel from afar.Looking at the turbulent crowd from this angle, there is a special sense of detachment, which makes his thinking more rational.

The Ministry of Magic...ordinary wizards...students...

Uriah's approach gave him a new understanding of the organizational form of the magic world.

A person next to him accosted and said, "I didn't expect to see this kind of scene in my lifetime."

Felix had already noticed that someone was approaching. He turned his head and saw an old man approaching with trembling small steps. His face was very pale, as if it had been painted with white paint. It was hard to tell it was his hair. Whiter, or paler.

He hurried over and took his arm.

"Ouch." The old man cried out in pain.

"Uh, excuse me?" Felix looked at him inexplicably.

"It doesn't matter, people are old and their bones are a little brittle."

Felix looked at him strangely, wondering if he should suggest him to take some calcium tablets.

Speaking of which, is it useful for wizards to take calcium tablets?
