The prototype of the mercury statue was indeed the initiator of the establishment of this new wizarding town. However, that person was not the Minister of Magic at the time, but a low-key witch with a not-so-reputable reputation.

Oh, speaking of "low-key", this evaluation may not actually be suitable for her. Because although she has indeed kept a low profile her entire life, she did something in the last year of her stay in the magical world.

It was a great event that made everyone who knew her and those who didn't know her feel admiration and respect.

Unfortunately, due to some very regrettable reasons, all the stories about her were hidden in the most turbulent year in the British wizarding world. And the only result of her efforts is such a building.

So far, no magic town has been fully constructed.

As for the stories about her, few people still remember them.

"Mira... I must say that you will always be the most beautiful girl in my heart! Your beauty made it impossible for Babur, the most outstanding sculpture craftsman in the world at that time, to shape it perfectly, so he could only keep changing it with flexibility.

The mercury compromise…”

On the spire tower next to the central square of Spiral Town, a slightly stooped figure leaned out half of his body against the light of the street lamp, leaning on the railing.

To be honest, it made him look a little dangerous, as if he might fall off a tower if he wasn't careful.

But he didn't pay attention to this at all. He just cast his gaze straight towards the square and stared at the silvery figure from a distance.

Speaking of which, Maca knew this slightly skinny man. He was Enns' old father, Mr. Tavon... Oh no, I should say, "Mr. Gunter".

This man who was somewhat lucky in the London disaster has now arrived in this town. However, he seems to be very familiar with this town that has never been open to the public. Soon after arriving here,

He quietly left the team and came to the tower on his own.

"Mira, you asked me to take good care of Enns, and I did it; you asked me not to go crazy in the magic world for you, and I did it... You even asked me to send Enns to you.

I did everything I could to study at my alma mater.”

"Now, even the town where you lost everything and even your life will be officially opened for living."

Having said this, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, shook his head and murmured:

"There are wizards, Muggles, vampires and werewolves... Although all this was achieved through a huge disaster with an outcome that no one could have predicted, but... isn't this the wonderful thing you have thought about and thought about all your life?

A sight?"

After a few words of emotion, he chuckled, curled his lips, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Although, what's so 'wonderful' about this? I still can't see it...but as long as you like it, I think that's enough!"

The real name of "Mira" in his mouth is Miranda, which is naturally his de facto wife and Enns' mother.

For him, who had lived anonymously in the Muggle world with his mother since he was a child, he was lucky to meet such a girl who was also "abandoned" by the magical world.

However, from the day they met Miranda, both of them understood that they could not be together forever. Because Miranda had already suffered incurable injuries before escaping from the magical world.

In addition, in order to safely give birth to the child of their relationship, Michelle, Miranda exhausted her remaining vitality and left on the night after giving birth to the child.

"Mira," Old Gunter slowly opened his eyes and said softly while looking at the mercury statue in the distance, "I still clearly remember that before you were pregnant with that little thing, you brought me here to see this town.

The scene of secret construction... But do you know? At that time, I only thought it was extremely ironic, but I just didn't tell you!"

"...You asked me, a 'man of the Gaunt family', to come and see this town that was forced to carry out construction in secret by 'another Gaunt family'... You think, isn't this ironic enough?

?”

…

I remember that it was 1978, that is, the year when Miranda, as the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, stood up to Voldemort, who was at the peak of his power, and proposed the construction of a town where Muggles and wizards would be mixed.

It has to be said that as a descendant of the ancient giant family, even after countless hybrid iterations, Miranda's giant characteristics have long been gone, but her simple but tenacious spiritual will still seems to be in the same vein as the giants.

In that era when everyone was afraid of Voldemort and even dared not call him by his first name, that kind of proposal was equivalent to carrying a particularly clear flag of opposition.

And perhaps because her behavior was so radical, not even Dumbledore was able to save her, and she was attacked by Death Eaters during an initiative.

Miranda's dueling prowess, as well as her resistance to magic inherited from the blood of ancient giants, allowed her to narrowly escape from the pursuit of dozens of Death Eaters. Knowing that there might be nothing she could do, she still dragged her away after all.

The seriously injured body was hidden in the Muggle world that Voldemort had not yet had time to take care of.

It was also at that time that she met Enns' father, who was also forced to hide in the Muggle world because of Voldemort.

To be honest, Miranda still didn't give up completely in the first year. While recovering from her injuries, she was still silently observing the trends in the magical world.

It wasn't until the British Ministry of Magic, under the pressure of Voldemort, dispersed the "remnants" of advocates she had gathered and ordered the construction of Spiral Town to be terminated indefinitely. It was with great pain that she completely cut herself off.

All connections with the wizarding world, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his association with old Gaunt.

It wasn't until later, by chance, that she received a handwritten letter from Dumbledore who didn't know what channel it was. Only then did she know that the Minister of Magic at the time dispersed and expelled those advocates, which was actually a disservice to those like-minded people like her.

protection of friends.

And the most important thing is that this magical town called "Spiral Town" has actually been being built quietly and secretly...

"Dear, you see... Professor Dumbledore personally invited his friend, the famous statue maker Babur in the Indian wizarding world, to make my statue! To be honest, I am not so beautiful. Those sculptors are

He likes to follow his own preferences and make me so that even I can’t recognize myself!”

"Oh! My dear, look again... look at the two bunches of mercury in the hands of my statue... they are intertwined with each other and rise slowly, and then merge together silently. This symbolizes the end of Muggles and wizards.

Futures that will intersect.”

"So, I named this town 'Spiral Town'!"
