Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Moscow, Bolshevik Tavern.

The old fireplace located in the corner of the kitchen suddenly burst into green flames. It was one of the secret strongholds of the Destiny Group. A few minutes ago, the fireplace was automatically activated and connected to the Hyperion hundreds of miles away.

Although the Russian magic world has declined, it does not mean that it has become a gray area that is not under the jurisdiction of the magic government.

In fact, due to the weakness of the local Ministry of Magic, the International Federation of Wizards' intervention and control capabilities in this land are much stronger than those of the British and American wizarding communities. Any signs of behavior that may expose the wizarding world will almost always be Detected at the first opportunity - after all, vicious incidents of deliberate violation of confidentiality laws have occurred here more than once.

In order to protect the safety of the contact point, Tianming Group employees rarely stay in this bar.

In most cases, this bar serves the native wizards living in the city, as well as a small number of foreign wizards who come to visit, or humanoids such as vampires, hags, and Veelas. Magical creatures.

But today, this silent fireplace is fully activated.

The old and mottled masonry shell faded away. Hundreds of magic runes were spinning around the fireplace. Blue-white fire pillars like the breath of a fire dragon spewed out from the fireplace. Dozens of stern-looking wizards arrived through the floo network. here.

These wizards are not the wrinkled old saints you might imagine.

In fact, most of them are young wizards similar to Gilderoy Lockhart. No matter how they dress, they don’t look much different from the elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic: high-collar gray windbreakers, clean white Shirts and the most fashionable hats nowadays, the only difference is the strange logo they pinned to their chests.

It was a strange logo that had never appeared in the magical world. It seemed to be three arrows pointing to the inner circle. Next to the pattern were printed three slightly smaller and confusing words: Secure, Contain, Protect. .

The fire pillar in the fireplace lasted for nearly 2 minutes, and the number of wizards arriving in the room reached about 30.

This is a very large number of people in the wizarding world. If we do not consider large-scale wizard gatherings like the Quidditch World Cup, this number is almost the same as the total number of Aurors in an ordinary magic department.

As the person in charge of the destiny responsible for maintaining this safe point, Azak Ethorn frowned and looked at the strange wizard army in front of him in silence. He did not understand the origins of these people. The orders he received were only Just open the fireplace and let it connect to the Hyperion to ensure that these wizards will not be discovered by the local Ministry of Magic during their arrival.

On the other hand, these wizards showed no signs of wanting to explain themselves to Azak Ethorne.

As the fireplace was closed again, after a brief head count, the wizards took out their wands and cast phantoms to leave the room. There was almost no extra information or communication in the whole process, as if they were all magic dolls.

"I wonder what Grindelwald is planning. Are so many young wizards direct descendants of the eldest lady... Is this his plan to attack the Russian Ministry of Magic and take away all the power of the International Federation of Wizards in Russia? "

Azak Ethorn muttered softly, subconsciously squeezing his sweaty palms.

Compared with the arrogant and stupid Death Eater descendants more than ten years ago, the sense of oppression brought by these young wizards is simply not on the same level. Azak Athorn felt as if he was seeing a tightly-knit person. metal gear machinery.

The thing that made him most uneasy was the ordinary-looking man standing at the front of the team.

Although the man just stood there silently, in Azak Ethorn's magical feedback perception, it was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, containing infinite heat and power--it was like this before. Over the years, there have not been too many situations like this, and they are only slightly weaker than Gellert Grindelwald.

……

On the outskirts of St. Petersburg, in a long-abandoned house.

Judging from the magic photo frame that was wiped clean in the living room, it was once the residence of a certain wizard, but it was suddenly abandoned for some reason. There were more than a dozen people standing neatly on the magic photo that kept repeating.

Located on the far left of the photo, a young man wearing an old blue coat, slender, with some freckles on his face, and a distinctly British appearance is constantly being grabbed back into the queue by the wizard next to him - except for him, everyone in the photo is Russian .

The group of wizards who had just disappeared from the Bolshevik Iron Fist Tavern appeared in the living room.

"Unknowingly...has it been so many years? Sorry, I'm late..."

The strange wizard who made Azak Ethorne feel a little uneasy raised his right hand and gently touched his young self in the photo with his fingers - at that time, he was still a young and innocent lover of magical animals, and Now……

Newt Scamander sighed softly, put down his complicated thoughts, and looked at the crowd around him.

These are all the "Curse Breaking Team No. 0" affiliated to Gringotts Wizarding Bank and formed after layers of screening and assessment.

Or, to be more accurate, this is a secret organization created by Elena that protects the world without being known to the outside world - the SCP Foundation (Special Containment Procedures Foundation)

Whether it is the Destiny Group, the Gringotts Goblins, or even the "quibble employees" of Mr. Lovegood's family, most of these people are under Dumbledore's conscious or unconscious surveillance and attention, even Elena Even though the Hyperion was cleverly used to make an ultra-long-distance jump, there was no guarantee that it would avoid the sight of Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.

In the wizarding world, the destructive power of every adult wizard cannot be underestimated.

Especially when they form a certain organization, this is a very worrying thing. No matter what the reason for their existence, as long as they appear in the sun, they will definitely arouse fear and hostility from other forces that do not belong to this group. .

Although in theory, Elena has the right to mobilize all the saints, she does not intend to put everything on Grindelwald. Moreover, in terms of some special things about this land, those saints do not Not suitable for handling.

Hatred is the easiest place for people to lose their reason and judgment.

The purpose of the existence of the SCP Foundation is to handle certain matters from an absolute standpoint, to save and protect from a perspective that has nothing to do with any magical politics or secular laws, but only the continuation of the most basic human civilization.
