A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 740 Extra Story: Prosperity (The Finale)

Just after midnight, before dawn, the moon and stars are still hanging in the sky, and a faint gray-green color appears on the sea level in the distance.It was early morning, when people were sleeping most soundly. Harry was riding on a broom, blowing the icy sea breeze, rehearsing the action plan in his mind over and over again.

Today is the day to close the net, and the last batch of mercenaries mixed into the island with tourists.

The huge floating islands were disassembled one by one in his mind, and replaced by a dense traffic map: thousands of floo points, more than two hundred knight buses, tens of thousands of low-altitude sightseeing brooms, and the not-so-popular flying Magic transportation tools such as blankets and suspension vehicles...

And the Apparition stronghold.

The management organization of the floating island has relatively sound regulations on the apparition of wizards on the island. Generally, only external defenses are reserved, that is, outsiders are not allowed to smuggle directly to the island, and wizards are not allowed to leave at will. There are no restrictions; during the World Cup, it will be much stricter, and a series of prohibited areas will be announced in advance, except for a few places - such as stadiums and surrounding areas that can accommodate 50 spectators, and strongholds controlled by Aurors , and other areas are strictly forbidden for wizards to apparate at will.

The latter—the Auror stronghold—is one of the secrets of the floating island to deal with most emergencies with less manpower. Even just in case, Harry temporarily formed more than a dozen elite wizard squads so that Support is always available.

At this moment, a figure rushed over, it was Ron, and he flicked the handle of the broom and hung it in front of Harry.

"Everyone is ready. When will the action begin?"

"Now."

"Cool!" Ron gave a thumbs up. "See those Billywigs? I can't wait for them to take a picture of my wizard piece charging..."

"Don't wake up the whole island," Harry warned.

"I really thought about it," Ron said with a bit of regret in his tone, "It's a pity that you arranged a group of people to cast whispering spells and restoration spells."

The two landed on the ground on a broomstick, and all armed men disappeared from Harry's sight.Harry tightened his wand. They were his relatives, classmates, friends, and comrades-in-arms. He responded to his call without hesitation. He must do everything possible to protect their safety.

The battle starts before dawn and ends before dawn.Harry's Patronus pierced the darkness, and near the stadium, his close-range continuous apparition became a nightmare for all enemies, and he hardly encountered any decent resistance; The fight was over before Leigh rushed to help, and Harry heard the Creevey brothers murmur that they hadn't taken a single enemy.

"I knocked down seven!" Sirius walked up and down excitedly, "Must let little Rosalie know, and little Edgar! Preaching grandfather Phineas!" Harry grinned, and little Edgar was Sirius' second child, the one who was almost 'James', and later took the name from Ms Burns' older brother.

As for the grandfather Phineas mentioned by Sirius—it is actually a portrait in the Hogwarts principal's office. Since Sirius had a child, he often went back to visit, and he liked to give advice.

Harry walked into the corner, and Hermione was yawning slightly. She danced all night, and when she came back, she knew that the action was coming and rushed again, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open.She reluctantly said hello, "Oh—ha—Harry, is there anything else? I'm going back to catch up on sleep...Come back when I have time."

"Well, good." Harry hesitated and said, he still didn't say thank you - since Hermione was here, the professor must have come, but he didn't show up.Today's actions already have factors to build momentum for him.

Hermione smiled and waved her hands, "Come on, Harry!" She turned and blended into the shadows, and Harry seemed to see the professor smiling and nodding at him, and the two disappeared together.Harry took a deep breath. He still had a lot to do. After the World Cup was over, he would have time to have a good chat with Professor Haip.

In the early morning, the sleeping city wakes up again. Looking down from a height, little people like ants emerge from the hotel and merge into the main roads.Today is the start of the Quidditch World Cup. Although the opening ceremony will not be until evening, the warm atmosphere in the air is already throbbing uneasily.

Many tourists learned what happened in the early morning from the newspapers. A large group of good people gathered in the tavern and talked about how the more than three hundred organized and premeditated criminals were ignorant while they were sleeping soundly. Unknowingly, they were caught in a sweeping net.

"It's not that there is no movement at all," said one person. "I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I vaguely heard someone shouting 'charge' and 'share me', but the volume was too low, and there was no toilet. Loud."

"It's a whispering spell. A law enforcement officer cast a whispering spell nearby." A wizard shouted, "This shows that the battle is under control from beginning to end."

"So the island master is still a talent?" someone asked.

"Ahem, cough, he is the administrator of the island," the wizard coughed violently, "Harry Potter is not young, he is very famous in England."

"Yeah, but compared to Haipu..."

The wizard stopped talking. This is an indisputable fact. No wizard has the same influence as Felix Heppe, and he can't even do it if he is connected. But then again, there is no need to manage the floating island. so high.

These people quickly changed the topic to other places, discussing the opening ceremony of the night, arguing about which country's team will win, and soon, two drunken grumpy guys with flags painted on their faces were fighting in a bar, and the surrounding people were in high spirits. Excitedly applaud.

The tavern waiter turned a blind eye to this and just turned on the TV, which was broadcasting the morning news:
"... 327 criminals were arrested. After interrogation, it was learned that these people belonged to twelve well-known anti-wizard groups. Enchanted guns and materials used to make magic bombs were seized from their hiding places. More than three times were planned for this. For a month..."

The people in the tavern stared blankly at the video of the ensuing battle. Most of them—including the wizard—was the first time they saw a regular team of wizards fighting, which completely overturned their previous cognition: Nightmare Silent intrusion spells, Transfiguration spells that turn walls into open doors, Whispering spells and Disillusionment spells that block sound and sight, smoke that covers half a block, magic golems a dozen feet tall... and no one thinks the Aurors The heavily armed equipment on the body is a display, and it may not work at all, or it has worked but they can't see it...

Among them, the silver stag patron saint is impressive, as long as it appears, it basically means that the battle will end in a few seconds.

It was almost noon, and Varen sat up from the cradle, his mind was a little dazed, it only remembered that it was guarding the door of the big devil's bedroom yesterday... Varun jumped down and ran into the bedroom, the scene in front of him made him gasp One way, those two guys were lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and they didn’t know when they came back last night, and now they are all——it looked up at the time, 11::59; Valen smacked his lips , waited quietly for more than ten seconds, when the pointer jumped to 12 and continued to go down, it immediately jumped onto the bed and shook the quilt vigorously.Ahhh, it's past twelve o'clock!You are so sleepy!
Felix stretched out his hand in a daze, and stuck Varun to the head of the bed. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and met Xixiu's eyes.

"How did you stick yourself up?" Felix scratched his nose casually.

Varen froze for a moment, then struggled hard, "Hey——!!!"

It was already afternoon by the time Felix and Hermione had dinner, and the TV was still dutifully broadcasting the heroic battle scenes of the wizard team, and also added a lot of interviews, such as Rove, who was full of praise for his wife's skills ; When the reporter interviewed Seamus and Dean, he didn't pay attention to include the picture of Ms. Burns teaching her youngest son, "Glop knows more words than you, at least one of you and your father should be ashamed ..." Felix and Hermione, who were playing wizard cards, turned their heads, just in time to see the picture of Sirius picking his nose.

But after six o'clock in the evening, there were more news about the stadium. The two changed their clothes and showed up at the stadium with an angry Varen.The arena was full of voices.Their seats were on the top floor, and they greeted various unimpressed people along the way, and then appeared in the box.

Felix breathed a sigh of relief, all of them were acquaintances, except the Hogwarts professors, the Longbottoms, Lupine and Tonks, Luna and Rove, Sirius and Burns, and the Weasley family , Draco, and Astoria were all there, as well as a dozen children of various ages.

He and Hermione sat in the front row, next to Professor McGonagall.

"Felix," Professor McGonagall nodded towards him, "Mrs. Maxim came over and talked with me about joining other magic schools, you know, to study the intersection of magic and science..."

"It would be nice to add a Muggle university," Hermione interjected.

"We do have this plan," said Professor McGonagall, "but it's still under preparation. We need to reach a consensus with Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and it's best to add Ilvermorny and Waggadu—"

"Preparing for another competition?" Felix asked with interest.

Professor McGonagall was stunned, "It's not impossible, if you can..."

The advertisements on the circular curtain around the stadium disappeared, and the camera moved away from the dignitaries with prominent identities, followed Harry's back all the way to the top floor, and then began to play the battle scene during the day, and the crowd cheered.

Harry sat next to Ginny.

"What about the children?"

Ginny sighed, "James went to find Teddy, Rosalie was with Victoire, Albus—" She raised her chin, and Harry looked over, Albus and little Scorpius were exchanging Exchanging souvenirs, Draco nodded to Harry.

"Harry." At this moment, Sirius waved to Harry, and Harry sat down.He grabbed Harry's shoulders and pointed to the Patronus on the screen, "How do you feel?" The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Harry scratched his head, "There are a lot of things that I haven't had time to understand—"

"Look for him!" Sirius pouted at Lupin. "He knows best."

Harry blinked and looked at Lupine.

"What Sirius said is almost the same. Future World Corporation is indeed obliged to cooperate with you, and what you have done over the years is also of reference significance for you to manage the floating island." Lupine said: "There is only one thing we have to do, or For one goal: let magic integrate into all fields it can touch! After more than ten years, it has finally achieved initial results..."

"First results?" Harry asked.

"That's right," Lupine explained, "magic and science are becoming more and more closely integrated, and truly become part of keeping the world going. No one person or group has the ability to forcibly separate them-that means a huge change in existing life. .”

Harry's heart was greatly shocked.Immediately, I felt heavy in my heart.

Lupine smiled slightly, "The responsibility is great, but don't feel pressured. You just proved your ability, and there are still many opportunities in the future. And we are all here. Felix is ​​also here."

He knows the world is getting better and is on the right track.Those who go up the mountain will not be stumbled by one or two stones.

"We are in a time of unprecedented prosperity," he said with force and confidence.

As if responding to Lupin's words, on the rostrum, Felix, who was talking softly with Professor McGonagall, noticed that the stadium gradually became quiet, and Hermione pushed him quietly, and the huge curtain composed of countless curtains covered Felix's body. Faces are projected on it.

At the same time, his face appeared on the floating island tavern, the open field, and on the screen of the TV broadcast around the world.

Felix stood up from the stands, opened his arms—people held their breaths, this Quidditch World Cup attracted the attention of the whole world, so for a few seconds, it seemed that the entire floating island, and even the outside world Quiet by a dozen decibels.His voice was magically carried clearly from every corner of the stadium and appeared on every screen.

"Everyone - welcome to the opening ceremony of the 426th Quidditch World Cup! Welcome! Ladies and gentlemen... let's make the party even more violent, the celebration is now-"

"start!!!"

Incomparably warm cheers and applause resounded across the island, deafening; millions of arms waved enthusiastically in the air, flags of various colors fluttered above the heads of the crowd, weaving into a sea of ​​joy; followed by a more dazzling scene: countless fireworks above the night sky Bursting and condensing into gorgeous patterns, the sky turned into a colorful curtain bigger than the stadium, and the tidal wave of excited screams pierced through the thick clouds, echoing in the ears of tourists for a long time.Everyone's face is filled with joy that cannot be quenched——

The prosperous age is just around the corner.

　This is where all the episodes come to an end. The overall background of the episode is the Quidditch World Cup, but the World Cup itself is not important, but to provide a stage for the story to freeze in the most lively scene.

　　The family, career, and living conditions of the main characters are introduced one by one (rather than dry text descriptions), which is also the main role of the extra episode; some of which I find difficult to form independently, are integrated into other people's stories.

　　Thank you readers for your company along the way, but this story does have to stop here.

　　Thank you everyone!
