I, Hogwarts Second Week

Listening to Hermione's description, everyone present felt a chill.

If Voldemort used to be known as the defender of pure blood and maintained cooperative relations with some pure blood families. Then the current Voldemort - relying on [Dead Root], he can get the most loyal servants - at this moment, does he really need cooperation? Does he still need someone to support him?

Just like Hermione said, they can't gamble - and dare not gamble.

"This is an opportunity." Hermione continued to explain her opportunity, "Now that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, the Federation will also be impacted, and will lose its ability to control the UK.

We can reopen Hogwarts in Thornfield Castle. A temporary base for rebels. We can even invite the royal family and Downing Street to take refuge. This can be used as an underground fortress for the government.

I don't know how long this war will last, maybe a year or maybe longer, but I believe we will eventually win. At that time, both sides who have experienced suffering and war, wizards and Muggles, will usher in a brand new future. Realize our expectations long ago, let wizards and Muggles merge, let magic and science merge."

Hermione said excitedly, her eyes shining.

Perhaps she was too depressed in the past week, she was deliberately motivating everyone, or maybe because she really felt that this would be an unparalleled good opportunity. But no matter what her purpose was-at least after Dumbledore slept forever in the garden of Thornfield Castle, this was one of the few moments when their spirits were lifted.

"Great plan." Owen commented: "It is very likely to succeed."

He knew Dumbledore's plan better than anyone else. After thinking about it for a week, he had almost guessed the plan of Voldemort, except for the part about the Outer God.

The old headmaster was giving Harry a chance to live.

Before that, Voldemort had his body reshaped, and they didn't know whether the magic of love remained in Voldemort's body.

But that day - after Harry's wand automatically resisted Voldemort's spell, everything came to fruition.

Existence - the magic of love still exists.

In this way, the subsequent plan for the Elder Wand can be carried out.

Harry also has the possibility of winning.

Instead of perishing with the soul fragments in his body.

As for whether Voldemort will be hit - from Harry's connection with Voldemort's consciousness in recent days and knowing that he is torturing Ollivander, Owen knows that he will definitely be hit.

"You should discuss this with Moody Kingsley. I think they will probably agree, but it won't be easy."

"I think so too."

"After all, the more people there are in the safe house, the easier it is to be exposed." Owen said, "Then I plan to leave for a while."

"You're leaving?" Hermione suddenly became nervous.

"Well-" Owen nodded, "Bella needs me, and there is also the God-granting Tower in the cave. Finally, there is-Dumbledore in the bas-relief in the God-granting Tower in Canada. He should have found some truth and made some plans."

"I'll go to them to study the report." Hermione said.

"What about us?" Harry said, "I don't want to stay here at all."

"Well-Harry, follow me to find Bella, the last Horcrux can't go wrong. It must be destroyed as soon as possible."

"What about us?" Ron asked nervously.

"I don't know." Owen said. "At present, we are seriously lacking in information about some things."

"You can help Fred and George to renovate Thornfield Castle. Or work with them to gather manpower. This aspect definitely requires people to do it."

"I won't leave immediately. At least I have to wait until September, when everything is settled in Thornfield Castle. In the next world, in addition to actively seeking intelligence, we will repair Thornfield Castle. Dobby and Kreacher will help us purchase materials. As for food, I think we should still purchase it in the Muggle world. I have someone to help. According to the plan, a few weeks will be enough."

"Um-"

The others nodded.

Although Ron, Ginny and Coyote were almost deeply worried about Hermione, it was better to have a plan than not, at least they knew what to do next.

————

In the next week.

Several people began to focus their energy on repairing Thornfield Castle. Dobby and Kreacher could find most of the materials needed, because one of the two elves was once loyal to Malfoy and the other was Black's elf. These two pure-blood families would spend a lot of Galleons on the manor and ancestral house for maintenance every year. Black has only fallen into desolation in the last twenty years. Before that, their luxury was even higher than Malfoy's.

So the two elves quickly found a supplier of these materials.

As for food, Dobby said he could handle it.

This surprised Owen.

After learning about it, he realized that the mysterious North American tycoon who had invested in Dobby's film and provided a cruise ship to the twins was still in contact with Dobby.

Dobby sold many magic gadgets and magic storybooks to the other party.

After the Statute of Secrecy was in name only, he provided a large number of things from the magic world.

The transactions between the two sides lasted for several years.

Owen was a little worried about the tycoon, but considering that the other party had already connected with Dobby before Voldemort's rise and before the fall of North America, and he was a Muggle, he didn't have too many concerns.

Hermione's side - she found a picture book about bas-relief from the Federation and began to study it selflessly.

As for the Muggle government - she is still arguing with Kingsley and others.

They never agree with Hermione's plan.

And they are very tough.

After all, how could a traditional wizard agree.

Until one person appeared - Theseus Scamander.

Currently, several anti-Voldemort organizations lack a person who can take charge of the overall situation.

Moody and Kingsley can still talk in the Phoenix Order.

But they are not good enough in the Federation and the Saints.

Similarly, the Saints and the Federation lack reputation in the Phoenix Order. Moody is worried that Death Eaters will infiltrate the Federation. The members of the Phoenix Order are all familiar to him, but he is not sure about the members of the Federation. At present, they must be cautious and avoid all measures that may be exposed.

So after the death of Dumbledore, the glue, the anti-Voldemort alliance is destined to split.

And at this time, Theseus Scamander appeared.

As a war hero, he is the most qualified commander of this loose alliance. No one is more suitable than him, unless it is Grindelwald himself, but at present, no one knows where Grindelwald is.

Most of Hermione's plans have been supported by Theseus Scamander.

The long time has made this war hero clearly know where the future of the wizarding world is. Since it can no longer be concealed, and since both sides have a common enemy, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with Muggles.

They cannot push potential friends to the enemy, which is very stupid.

As for Hermione's desire to convert Thornfield Castle into a temporary Hogwarts, this was not blocked. Everyone agreed - Voldemort was really too inhuman, and Hogwarts would become a hell on earth if it fell into his hands. Although only Owen knew that Dumbledore left Snape as a backup, with his merits of "betraying" Dumbledore, Voldemort would most likely make him the new headmaster of Hogwarts. In this way, Snape will still protect the young wizards within his ability, but he is afraid of accidents. At present, the reputation of the young wizards in Hogwarts is too good, and the golden generation of the wizarding world has been boasted by the Ministry of Magic for more than a year. Maybe Voldemort will intervene in the affairs of Hogwarts.

In short, most of them, including professors, are of the opinion of closing the castle directly.

Hogwarts is no longer safe, and it may even become a target of public criticism. Parents will choose to let their children stay at home because it will be safer.

But in fact, the school board controlled by the Death Eaters will never agree to close Hogwarts.

Some professors, including Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, expressed their willingness to stay in school, even if they may encounter danger, but at least they can still take care of some young wizards in school, even if the only young wizards who come to school after the start of school this year are Slytherin.

Some other professors, such as Professor Flitwick and Slughorn, are more inclined to Hermione's plan and start a new business.

The two sides argued for a long time and finally made a decision in the third week of August. That is to approve Hermione's plan. Most professors will come to Thornfield Castle. Only Professor McGonagall - for her, Hogwarts is her home, and her whole life has been spent in the castle.

In Professor McGonagall's own words.

If she leaves Hogwarts, she will not be able to find her home.

Others did not force her anymore. So the matter was decided.

On the last day of August. The castle began to get lively.

Hermione contacted many young wizards through the D.A. medal. Among these people, there was Justin, who was at a loss and had nowhere to hide. After learning about Hermione's plan, he immediately agreed.

But there were also Zacharias Smith, whose parents forbade him to contact Owen and others again, and had already evacuated the UK.

In fact, the latter accounted for the majority.

The professors' guess was indeed correct. There were not many young wizards who were willing to return to school, let alone come to Thornfield Castle. Because once they came here, it meant that they were standing on the opposite side of Voldemort.

On the Muggle side, the progress was much smoother.

Both the royal family and Downing Street agreed to move to Thornfield Castle without much hesitation.

For them, there was no right to choose. If they didn't do it, they would die.

Voldemort might not kill all government officials, but this batch of them must be liquidated.

Moreover, Muggles see much further and naturally understand the benefits of this plan for them.

After the Queen came to Thornfield Castle, she often ran to the little wizards, chatted with them, or helped the little wizards of Muggle origin such as Justin and Colin with their families' hiding problems. In a few days, including Harry, hundreds of little wizards who came to Thornfield Castle before, as well as the Order of the Phoenix and some professors got used to the presence of the Queen. It must be said that although the Queen herself could not do anything, this attitude was much stronger than the Ministry of Magic. Especially the royal family, which sounds very high and mighty, but actually shows a very close feeling after contact, which really makes people feel comfortable.

And compared with the Ministry of Magic horizontally, the gap immediately appeared.

Over at Hogwarts—Professor Sprout personally led the team, and most of the professors including Professor Flitwick and Slughorn rushed to Thornfield Castle.

With the professors involved, most of Hermione's plans were free of her worries. Including notifying the young wizard in England, planning a safe route to get here, identifying the young wizard's identity, etc. - just let the professor handle a series of issues.

It's the end of August.

Perhaps their actions attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic, or perhaps they had already prepared to take action.

Anyway, a slew of new magical policies leaked out of the Ministry of Magic in the last week of August.

The policies were announced on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

The first one was a wanted list for some people. Almost all adults in the Order of the Phoenix, including Harry, Hermione, Ron and Owen, were in the newspaper.

The crime was the ridiculous killing of Albus Dumbledore.

"They might as well just declare that we are the Death Eaters and they have always been the defenders of justice."

After hearing this, Ron complained violently.

The degree of magic and shamelessness of this matter has exceeded most people's imagination. After all, the Death Eaters attacked the wedding that day, but hundreds of wizards saw it with their own eyes - of course - as long as Voldemort beat everyone present into rebels , naturally there is no problem

"The coup was smooth and almost silent." Kingsley told them about the day the Death Eaters attacked the Ministry of Magic. "The official version of Scrimgeour's death is that he resigned. He was replaced by Piers Thicknesse, He was the deputy director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and he became the director after Amelia Bones died. Now that Scrimgeour is dead, he has been controlled by Voldemort."

"After Scrimgeour and the Aurors loyal to him were killed or injured that day, the Ministry of Magic surrendered easily without any resistance."

"Surrender?" Harry said through gritted teeth.

"This is normal Harry." Kingsley said sadly. "Not everyone has strong determination. Most employees of the Ministry of Magic are just ordinary employees. You can't ask the official Gobstone Club of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports to Those officials who couldn't even use the Iron Armor Charm went to fight the Death Eaters. They had their own families and their own lives - most of them even had little chance of resigning, because they would have to suffer if they lost their jobs. Hungry."

"But" hearing Harry, Ron and others opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
