HP's Platinum Temptation

As soon as the gossip about Clarence becoming king spread among the public, the voices of opposition were the quickest to respond.

Under the rule of the Ministry of Magic, although the life of wizards is not very good and comfortable.But at least it's peaceful and secure. Fifty years ago, when the Dark Lord first appeared, perhaps it brought more than just fear to people.It's just that the beautiful ideals that everyone yearns for are still fragmented in the end and lost to personal desires.

The price of allowing an excellent character to grow wantonly is very high, especially when most people are still full of strangeness and doubts about him.

You-Know-Who's personal domination is a pain in the ass for most adult wizards these days.

However, those who were originally neutral or even wait-and-see attitudes towards this statement began to feel that the original proposal was very valuable because of the rapid and intense opposition.When the voice of opposition faded away, everyone's eyes lit up bit by bit because of Clarence's rich resume.

Through careful operations, the pure-blood family headed by Parkinson put all the influence they could mobilize into this public relations battle. First, they re-reported a series of achievements that Clarence had achieved from small to large. Once again, and then mix Clarence's influence and achievements in the Muggle field that people don't know into the new measures that Clarence may adopt in the future, so that the public can slowly digest it.In this way, the balance of public opinion was manipulated to tilt back to Clarence little by little.

Just when everyone thought that victory was in sight, suddenly another voice burst forth in a destructive manner.

Dumbledore is one of the most famous wizards in the wizarding world in Britain and even in Europe, not one of them.The centralization measures that the pure-blood families have been calling for a little bit, it seems that if they go through Dumbledore's hands, they can also be achieved, or even more effective.Borrowing the momentum created by the Violet Society, this idea quickly replaced Clarence as the king and became the first choice in people's minds.

The Dark Lord seemed to be deliberately supporting Dumbledore. On the second day after the news of Dumbledore becoming king became mainstream, and for the first time after the defeat at Lambert Manor, the Death Eaters fought back fiercely.

Diagon Alley, which hadn't had time to completely close down, was crushed to pieces by the death eaters who swarmed out of the alley.The last few shops that remained open became history in a day.The most iconic Leaky Cauldron was not spared either.The furious Death Eaters destroyed the Leaky Cauldron Bar regardless of its significance to the entire British wizarding world.The raging fire surged out from the small door of the Leaky Cauldron facing Charing Cross Road, and quickly engulfed the bookstores and record stores on both sides of the bar.

By the time the Violet Order, the Order of the Phoenix, and Auror forces arrived to stop the Death Eaters from furthering the sabotage, more than half of the famous bookstore on Charing Cross Road had been destroyed by flames.The escaped Death Eaters even alarmed the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, which are in Westminster with the Leaky Cauldron.

The sudden attack brought huge losses.At that time, more than ten wizards in Diagon Alley died and dozens were injured.The Muggle area is even more exaggerated, because tens of thousands of people were affected by the fire, and the number of deaths caused by the chaos directly exceeded 50 people.And the number of Death Eaters dispatched was only 20 people.In the end, only one Death Eater was caught, and the results of the battle belonged to the Violet Society with the largest number of people.

However, none of the members of the Violet Club could be happy.

The Dark Lord sent a roaring letter to the Daily Prophet, clamoring that from this day onwards, the Death Eaters would attack all non-dark wizard locations indiscriminately.The only way to stop his madness is to sacrifice the saviors Harry Potter and Clarence Lambert.

Without even giving the wizards time to react, the Death Eaters attacked a small town where wizards and Muggles lived together in the afternoon of the day the Howler letter was sent out, causing three deaths and ten injuries before the reinforcements arrived.

Everyone panicked.

All kinds of letters are like a blizzard, drowning all powerful wizards that people can think of.From Dumbledore to Clarence to the Wizengamot, no one was spared.

Clarence didn't have time to be happy about Lucius' pregnancy for a long time, and all the time was taken up by the successive attacks.

There are so many letters seeking asylum that no one has the capacity to respond.And the panicked crowd who got no response began to flee from their homes that were no longer safe, and rushed to several well-known wizard settlements.

Hogsmeade village was the first place to be overwhelmed by the raging crowd.Because of Dumbledore, who received the final victory in the public opinion, Hogwarts became the only safest place in the minds of British wizards.People huddled outside Hogwarts' protective spell, waiting impatiently for Dumbledore to open the shield and let them into the refuge.

The Mahiona area and the sports park headquarters also received some wizarding traffic, but compared to the most famous Hogwarts, the number of asylum seekers here can be regarded as very few.The temporary administrators of the two districts used the fastest speed to quietly draw out refuge areas, and after reviewing them one by one, they took refuge in the wizards into protection.The wizards who came outside the Lambert Manor were also sent to the largest area, the Mahiona District, in batches.

In contrast, the door of Hogwarts has not been opened for a long time.The crowd gathered together quickly brewed stronger panic and dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Lambert!" Wendell rang Clarence's office in his manor: "You have guests."

"Please come in." The largest area in Clarence's office is a model similar to a sand table, and a large number of signs representing different meanings are erected on it.This sand table always attracts the first attention of people entering the room.

puff--

After the door opened, there was the sound of a camera.

Clarence, who was staring at the sand table, raised his head vigilantly, and Wendell, who led the way, almost immediately put on a fighting stance.

"Torn apart." The leading visitor cast this spell on the camera that made the sound without hesitation, causing the camera that was shooting just now to go on strike forever: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Lambert, we didn't mean to offend. It should have been My colleague's subconscious behavior, I have already reimbursed this camera, and I promise that no relevant photos will be circulated."

The other party's quick reaction made Clarence's frown relax, and he was barely willing to reveal the scene just now, showing a very shallow smile: "Who are you?"

"Xavier, editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, we want to seek your protection." The middle-aged wizard who used the spell just now introduced himself quickly, and bowed to Clarence as a sign of respect, "At the same time, We also hope that we can contribute our strength to this war."

"Why didn't you go to Hogsmeade? I thought you would all choose Dumbledore more." Clarence raised his eyebrows.

"Smart people can see the difference between Mr. Dumbledore and you at this time." The fat witch in green robe standing next to Xavier emphasized in a thin voice that she thought would be able to please her. .

"Oh? Difference?" Clarence narrowed his eyes and stared at the speaking witch for a long time: "I think there should be no difference for Ms. Skeeter."

"Do you actually know me?" The witch burst into a smile that she thought was bright, and took two steps forward very excitedly, getting closer to the sand table in the center of the room.Her shining eyes are still the most dazzling existence after passing through the jewel-encrusted eyes.

"Oh, of course, for some wizards who have the same special abilities as me, I think I need to have a certain understanding." Clarence glanced at the witch, and turned his eyes back to Xavier: "Please restrain yourself Special correspondent who can fly around, I think we need to talk about cooperation in another place."

"Are you going to make any big plans?" Xavier immediately showed excited eyes, calling the people around him to follow the pace of Clarence leaving the office, "Please let us follow up the report, we will strictly follow your needs drafted."

"Very good, I think you have been able to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic for so long, presumably because you have some qualities that your colleagues do not have." Clarence nodded, turned around to make sure that everyone had left his office, and ordered Wendell Go and call some more seats.

"I don't know what kind of plan it is?" Skeeter seemed to be trying to push forward behind Xavier, but failed.

"I need your help to find all the media from the British wizarding world." Clarence said as he walked, "I want to hold a press conference. As for the content of the release, we will have to wait until the press conference." I told you. I can give you the Daily Prophet the freedom to choose whether to live in Mahiona District or Sports Park. But you need to give me an answer now."

"Is the war about to start? Or are you going to fight back against Mr. Dumbledore's desperate behavior? If everyone knows about your opening of the asylum, they will definitely support you." Skeeter tried his best to rush again ask a question.

Instead of responding to Skeeter, Clarence raised an eyebrow at Xavier.The latter nodded understandingly.

Three days later, all the well-known media in the British wizarding world reported the same thing with the greatest length.

The Violet Club called all the media to hold a press conference and announced a series of important statements.

The first one is that Clarence proclaimed himself King of Lan, voluntarily stood up, and temporarily led the wizards to jointly fight against the Dark Lord's attack this time.

Secondly, close the Lambert Manor, open the Mahiona District and the Sports Park, and openly accept all wizards who seek asylum.The fire dragon that was previously stationed at Lambert Manor will also move to the Mahiona area at the same time to assist in the defense there.

Third, call on all wizards in the UK to unite and freely join the Violet Society's combat or logistics teams.And issued a letter of challenge to the Dark Lord. After the ten-day rectification period, no matter where the Dark Lord attacks again, the Violet Society will definitely successfully stop his attempt.

In the end, it was the most important news that Clarence deliberately arranged to drop.
