A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 710
The sky above his head was full of stars, and Felix was walking on the streets of Cairo, Egypt, his body shape changed little by little.He walked into a wizard tavern, and with his appearance, the originally bustling crowd fell silent, and the sense of uneasiness spread from near to far in the crowd like fallen wheat in the field.

People photographed his notoriety half a century ago, but fear was mixed with curiosity.

"My brothers, my sisters, my fellow wizards," Grindelwald opened his arms with a hoarse old voice echoing in the tavern, "I will end the chaos in this land—"

"In the name of Grindelwald's Code!"

……

The next day, Harry woke up in a daze from his bed at The Burrow.Feeling dizzy, he groped for a long time before finding the glasses in his pocket. After putting them on, he looked through the window and found that the sky was bright and the sunlight was a bit dazzling.

Pushing one of Ron's arms away, he jumped out of bed and looked at the time on his wrist - it was a birthday present from Mrs. Weasley, the original owner of the watch for her bravery in the war. dead brother.

"Noon." Harry spit out a word, feeling a little dry in his throat and a little nauseous, he guessed it might be because he drank too much champagne last night.As he strolled down the stairs, Harry couldn't help smiling as memories of the wedding came to him. It had been a wonderful night.

From the time when Professor Haip told him that he was going to complete a biography of Dumbledore with someone, the professor and Hermione left one after another, and then appeared on the dance floor; Harry had already chatted with Elphias Doge for a while, After remembering the content of the obituary written by Dorje, Harry's affection for him increased greatly.

The two talked happily, but when Ginny passed in front of them for the third time, Dorje raised his glass to persuade him to enjoy the happy time in time, Harry listened, and he hurriedly made an appointment with Dorje for the next meeting, and then Dancing with an impatient Ginny - what happened next?
Harry tapped his head lightly. When he passed Ginny's room on the second floor, he resisted the temptation to knock on the door and went to the kitchen.He was immediately thankful for the thought, as Ginny sat at the table, listlessly eating her breakfast (or lunch?).

"Harry, are you awake?" Mrs. Weasley said happily, so she interrupted the sweet whispers of Bill and Fleur who were sitting opposite.From Harry's point of view, the married couple seemed to be conjoined twins, unless the Weasley family's financial situation took a turn for the worse and they had to share a set of cutlery.

"Yes, Mrs. Weasley, I just got up," muttered Harry.

"Ally!" Fleur greeted him warmly according to the French habit, "We are discussing the place of vacation, come and help us to see."

Harry sat next to Bill and looked down at the album handed over, which printed various photos of beautiful scenery.He turned two pages, pointed to a cliff next to the sea and said, "This one looks good."

"That's right," Fleur read the small print at the bottom of the photo, showing a thoughtful expression, "In Cornwall... I haven't been there, it says there are wild roses blooming everywhere in summer, what do you think?" She He turned to look at Bill.

"Honey, we have plenty of time to go anywhere," Bill said gently.

Mrs. Weasley served Harry a plate of food, and the plate rubbed against the table making a loud noise. Harry felt that she was not in a good mood, and subconsciously glanced at Ginny, who made a face at him.

"Where's Mr. Weasley?" Harry asked.

"Going to work," said Mrs. Weasley absent-mindedly. "Percy and Penello couldn't stay last night. The house is not big enough... I wonder if I should build a few more houses around?"

"Mom," Bill said, "even if we move out, Fleur and I will come and see you and Daddy every week."

As if her thoughts had been punctured, Mrs. Weasley waved the rag in a panic and said, "Oh, yes, um, I just thought - there is always a time when the family gets together - just like yesterday's occasion, Will definitely use it."

Harry ate the meal with horror, but the atmosphere had calmed down when Ron came down, munching on fried eggs and pie.

"Any champagne from yesterday?" Ron asked expectantly.

"No," said Mrs. Weasley sternly.

After dinner, Harry, Ron, and Ginny moved to the living room, and Bill and Fleur went out for a walk. The three of them listened to the clanging noises in the kitchen. Only then did Ron belatedly ask:

"What's wrong with mom?"

Ginny sighed, "Bill and Fleur want to move out and live alone. It's already agreed, but Mom still wants to struggle."

Ron made a prayer gesture.

"Merlin bless her."

"By the way," Harry asked Ginny, "why didn't you see Hermione? She couldn't be asleep, did she?"

Ginny rolled her eyes.

"What's on her mind? She's been to Diagon Alley early in the morning, and it's been said on the radio that some Muggles are being invited to experience the wizarding world up close - sort of a courtesy. Hermione was on TV a while back, and I thought she might be able to help. ' she said uncertainly.

Near the evening, Hermione came back in good spirits, and she happily announced to everyone that the day's activities were a complete success.

"I've been staring at it all day and everything is going well except for a freckled woman who stays at the beauty pharmacy and refuses to come out to try the potions in it - no runaways in the pet store Small animals, the books in Lihen Bookstore didn't bite people, the goblins in Gringotts didn't call wizards thieves, the Quaffle in Quidditch boutique didn't blow someone's head off..."

Hermione talked about many dangerous projects in one breath, and finally let out a long sigh of relief, which made Harry suspect that those people were not going to the same place as he imagined.

"Yeah, they're lucky," said Ron sarcastically.

Hermione ignored his sarcasm, and continued: "When those people were free, I chatted with one of them - you would never have imagined that she was from France! What's even more amazing is that she knew the professor, but today they Couldn't see up there."

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Don't you know?" Hermione gave Harry a surprised look, "The professor has already left England and went to the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards."

……

The headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards is located in an unmarkable place on the northeastern border of France. It is located in a wild mountain. Since its establishment, almost all known protective magic has been cast on it. There is no doubt about its security and privacy.The only problem is that getting in and out is cumbersome and a bit behind the times.Felix only visited it once, and was dazzled by all kinds of bright and nested magical brilliance, and was immediately taken to the nearby northeastern city-Strasbourg.

Strasbourg is the largest border city in France.The urban area is located on the west bank of the Rhine.The west is the Vosges Mountains; the east is across the river from Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and 25 kilometers away is the German Black Forest; the north is the Agno Forest, and the south is the Rhine Plain.

Felix and Babajid Akinbad walked for a while along the scenic riverbank through a small area of ​​medieval timber-trussed houses and baroque sandstone buildings before disappearing over a stone bridge.

What caught the eye was the spacious golden staircase descending. The footsteps of the two were continuously refracted and amplified by the walls on both sides, and echoed back to the ears again.Felix carefully looked at the various reliefs carved on the wall.

"That was the scene of the first meeting of the International Federation of Wizards," Aginbad said, pointing to a relief. Man, he chose this place as the conference venue."

Felix was slightly surprised.

"I thought it was a meeting at the headquarters of the federation."

"At that time, the headquarters had not yet been built, and the conditions were very simple, so I temporarily chose an open-air square. The goblin originally wanted to attend, but was driven away. Oh, and Liechtenstein did not participate either."

"I think it's because of the troll?"

"That's right, it's because of the trolls." Aginbad said affirmatively, "The wizards there have a tense relationship with some particularly vicious tribes of mountain trolls. They originally wanted to use the power of the Federation to encircle the trolls, but Pierre Bonacourt refused."

Felix nodded.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the definition of this wizarding organization at the beginning was to promote the cooperation of wizards from all over the world in the wizarding world, and there was nothing wrong with other races.The chairman of the federation generally plays the role of a middleman to mediate conflicts, and his powers are extremely limited. Until the end of the seventeenth century, the idea of ​​secrecy became more and more the consensus of the wizards at that time. After several weeks of intense discussions, the "Secrecy Act" came into being.

In fact, this important task was undertaken by the International Federation of Wizards. Since then, the Federation has rapidly expanded and established subordinate departments to communicate, liaise and supervise the implementation of wizard secrecy laws in various countries.

"Theoretically, this is just an office of the federation," Akinbad said. "Later, people found that they preferred to work here rather than a place with high humidity and deserted people, so a certain president of the federation bought it. Here, the square where the meeting was held was completely sunk into the ground, and the stairs under our feet are part of the square..."

"This city has experienced several wars and chaos. The wizards will retreat to the real headquarters, and at the same time hide the wizards in nearby countries. Of course, we can't control too much, as long as the existence of magic is not exposed."

They passed through a circular hall, which has a distinct Roman style, luxurious, magnificent, and has a spacious interior.The walls of the circular hall are lined with equally spaced rooms, and the doors of each room seem to face the center of the hall, as if there are invisible thin lines radiating outward.On both sides of the gate are tall stone pillars and arched roofs for decoration.

All the way Felix saw only two or three people walking from room to room looking tired and bored.

"There are a lot of people on the list, but most of them have their own affairs, and they only get together when needed. I don't come here very often. The general method is to pick a place nearby to host a meeting when there is a problem." Akinbad said a little lonely: "A few weeks ago, there were many representatives here to discuss plans; earlier, the Auror team responsible for capturing Grindelwald also gathered here, but now there are fewer people. a lot of……"

Why is this happening?

Because the federation could not come up with a practical solution, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves and did not respond to the call, and the federation immediately became an empty shell.

"What do you think?" Akinbad asked Felix.

"The first step must be to regain the prestige of the Federation." Felix said after thinking, "I want to travel around the world first, and arrange a special envoy title for me, but I may have to stay here for a few days first. God, look through the information and learn about the history of the Ministry of Magic in different countries."

Felix stood in the empty hall, looking around, looking smug.Aginbad immediately believed it, if he knew Felix's true thoughts at the moment, he probably wouldn't be so optimistic.

"I can tell you about the black market information around the world, but if you ask about the history of these countries-I knew there would be such a day, and I would definitely add this part of my knowledge."

Well, there is not much useful information in Felix's thinking hut. Even if he has read it, he has long since discarded it as garbage.

……

In mid-August, Felix, who had been wandering outside for half a month, returned to school.In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts Castle—"Three students refused admission." Professor McGonagall said seriously.

"Are there many cases like this in previous years?" Felix asked.

"It may only appear once every two or three years." Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, and explained: "You know, even for young Muggle-born wizards, for dozens of generations, wizards have largely appeared in their ancestors. People are unlikely to have a strong aversion to magic..."

Professor McGonagall snorted angrily, "We are not like the purgers of the United States."

"It may be affected by the recent news," Felix said with a headache: "Hogwarts does not force students to enroll. If they firmly disagree, then protect them secretly. It will be bad if there are silent people. .”

During this period of time, the outside world can be described as turbulent, and many major events have happened, and many of them are related to Felix.His name appeared in newspapers around the world - both magical and Muggle.

For example, what happened recently:

A week ago, the descendants of the American scavengers found the law enforcement officers and handed over twelve children with magical talents. They begged the authorities with great malice to study the secrets of wizards.These children were immediately protected with guns and live ammunition, and were guarded by three hundred soldiers with strong armed forces and modern technology.

On the second day after the incident, a wizard wearing a black wizard robe walked to the gate of the base. He stood there quietly for a while, the door opened by itself, and a group of soldiers took the initiative to hand over the child to him. A card was drawn, and then disappeared with those children, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

The four soldiers who guarded the gate turned a blind eye to them throughout the whole process. Except for a photo taken by surveillance, the only clue was the card left by the mysterious wizard.It has been confirmed that the pattern on the card is the logo of the International Federation of Wizards.

The photos taken by surveillance have naturally been studied repeatedly.

Experts soon discovered that this mysterious wizard was completely different from the existing information. He wore a hood and said nothing throughout the whole process. Glancing at the camera, it seemed to be a side profile intentionally left.

God knows how many people are staring at Felix's straight nose bridge and smooth jaw line these days.

Seemingly under pressure from the outside world, the British Prime Minister sent a question, but Amelia Burns pushed back firmly.Her reply was scrolled repeatedly in the form of text on the TV news: Wizards are willing to cooperate and sign a treaty to accelerate the birth of the new order. For this reason, we have actively released goodwill, but if it is the price of harming wizards—— Wizards would rather Choose war.

On the same day, 27 descendants of the purgers died mysteriously in twelve different places, and the police could not find any evidence of intrusion; on the same day, saints who had been silent all gathered towards Africa from all directions.

If there are later scholars who study this period of history, they will find that this event is an extremely important turning point, marking a new page in the relationship between the two parties.Just after two days of the strange phenomenon that the outside world was arguing but the authorities chose to remain silent, the negotiating parties unanimously sped up the speed.

Some issues that had previously required debate for hours or even days suddenly became insignificant, and concessions were made tacitly.A reporter who has inquired about the inside information stated in the article that the public is expected to see the details of the contract proposed by the two parties within a month.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, the time came to September [-]st.

It's school day.
