Hogwarts Homecoming

The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the huge conference hall. The participants looked at Minister Olonkos Adenauer who was emotionally apologizing to the world of magic on the rostrum, and they all remained strangely silent.

Hope, who was sitting in the seven-person seat, raised his eyelids slightly, taking in the expressions of the people behind the circular conference table opposite and to the side, and sneered in his heart.

Not to mention the half century that Dumbledore has been in charge of the International Federation of Wizards, even during the time when the Federation was still strong, he had never seen many participants in the Federation's meeting hall remain silent in such a tacit understanding. .

Often, after an issue is raised, people who have no interest in it look on with cold eyes, and all interested parties fall into endless quarrels.

I turned a blind eye to the persuasion of the federation’s officers, vice-chairmen and chairman.

After all, the current International Federation of Wizards relies entirely on the blood supplied by the Ministry of Magic of various countries to survive, and is completely unable to mediate disputes.

Perhaps the only role it still has is to provide a place for representatives of various countries to quarrel when the international interests of various countries are involved.

"Okay, Minister Adenauer, we already know the specific situation——"

The oppressive silence of the venue made Hope feel uneasy, and the sight of Amosta, who showed no emotion or anger in the corner of his eye, pushed Hope's uneasiness to the peak.

After carefully thinking about the probability of Amosta Blaine going on a killing spree in the council chamber, Hope couldn't wait any longer, and interrupted Olonkos's uncharacteristic apology with ulterior motives.

After focusing everyone's attention on herself, Hope looked at Dumbledore and hesitated to speak.

"It's up to you to ask the questions, Hope."

Dumbledore said gently.

"cough--"

After nodding to Dumbledore, Hope moved her eyes to the face of the German Minister of Magic in front of the podium.

Olonkos Adenauer had a sinister look in his eyes, and Hope knew that he was angry at himself for interrupting his performance.

However, Hope knew he had to do this.

He has dealt with Amosta and knows a thing or two about this rising star's style.

He had to get the situation under control before Olonkos completely angered Amosta.

After pondering for a moment, Hope was about to speak. From the seven-person seat, the voice of Minister Nash from the French Ministry of Magic sounded first.

"Before the relevant personnel are questioned by the seven-member parliament, I propose that all members of the assembly stand up and observe three minutes of silence for the German Ministry of Magic officials who were unfortunately killed trying to prevent the atrocities and the Muggles who were killed and injured in Berlin in this incident!"

Hope's eyebrows suddenly frowned, and there was hidden anger in his eyes as he looked at the French Minister of Magic.

"Ah, thank you for your kindness, Minister Nashi——"

Minister Adenauer in front of the rostrum had a wet voice. He took out the silk towel from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Among the seven, Dumbledore's silver-white eyebrows moved, and there was a hint of helplessness in his blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses.

There is no problem in mourning for the victims, but the purpose of the French Minister of Magic's proposal is not simply a matter of justice, and even he must comply.

There was a faint sound of benches being dragged in the grand meeting hall.

But most people still sat there, carefully looking at the young man in the seven-person seat.

The smart people in this chamber know exactly who the French Minister of Magic is slapping, and responding to Minister Nash's call at this time will undoubtedly add more force to this slap!

Except for the European magical countries, other countries that avoid enemies do not want to get involved in this muddy water.

"Chairman Kohaug——"

Behind a row of conference tables behind the seven-person seats, Ms. Marcille White, who is in charge of the MACUSA and the Department of International Magical Cooperation, looked at Amosta's back with a worried expression. After a brief thought, she turned slightly to her side and squinted her eyes. , Chairman Samuel Kohaug, who seemed to be sleeping, said in a whisper-like voice,

"I wonder if we should."

The old Samuel Kohaug said nothing and just dozed by himself without any intention of standing up.

On the seven-person seat, all six people except the French Minister of Magic who made the suggestion sat still.

Dumbledore's eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were flashing, as if he was troubled by the current situation.

Hope Dregern stared at Nash, not hiding his anger, while the other three permanent vice presidents, as if nothing happened, sat upright, pointing at the sheepskin recorded in front of them. paper.

In the conference hall, less than one-tenth of the people were willing to leave their seats, and the reason for all this was very simple.

Not many people wanted to mess with the young man sitting upright in the seven-person seat.

"Vice Chairman Blaine--"

Glancing around the chamber, Minister Nash, who was sitting in the same row as the seven-person seat, looked a little embarrassed. He put on a friendly smile and said,

"Don't you think we should have a moment of silence for the victims of this incident?"

Amosta, with half-lidded eyes, glanced sideways at the French Minister of Magic, then looked at Minister Adenauer who was glaring at him in front of the rostrum. He shook his head gently with a half-smile and a half-sigh, and then spoke slowly. stood up.

Before Adenauer and Nash could show their joy, Amosta's steady voice rang through the chamber.

“I propose that, for half a century, all that is done to stop the spread of evil;

fend off rioters who destroy the peace and order;

to judge the wrongdoers;

People with lofty ideals who sacrifice their health and even their lives to protect the balance between the wizarding world and the Muggle world;

And three minutes of silence for wizards and Muggles whose lives were taken away due to sinful activities! "

The confusion in Dumbledore's deep eyes suddenly dissipated. He pushed away his chair and stood up happily.

With a contemptuous glance at the French Minister of Magic, whose expression suddenly stiffened, Hope Dregern stood up unsteadily, while the other three permanent vice-presidents no longer had any worries and stood up one after another.

Chairman Samuel Kohaug of the Magical Congress of the United States woke up from his nap at the right time. He placed his strong hands on the conference table and stood up leisurely.

Seeing Chairman Kohaug stand up, representatives from the Ministry of Magic of various countries in North America and under the influence of the Magical Congress of the United States of America responded one after another.

The Asian-faced purple-robed wizard who asked the question before hesitated for a moment and squeezed out of the chair behind him. Likewise, followers from all over the world gathered under his sphere of influence.

For a moment, the crowd rising up was like an undulating wave.

Minister Adenauer's face suddenly turned ugly on the rostrum. The crowds standing up from all directions were like a raging wave, bringing him unparalleled pressure and suffocating him!

In just three minutes, Adenauer felt as if he had been roasted by fire for a century!

"Well, Minister Adenauer--"

The moment of silence ended, people saw the young people in the seven-person seat sitting down leisurely, and they also sat down.

Hope looked at him coldly,

"What information does the German Ministry of Magic have about the rioters who terrorized Berlin and breached the Erkestower?"

"They're Death Eaters."

Veins popped up on Adenauer's forehead.

"A group of pure bloodists from the UK who have no morals or bottom line at all!"

"Thanks--"

Hope asked calmly,

"I don't think there's anyone here who doesn't know who a Death Eater is.

In your previous statement, you said that you suspected that the purpose of this group of rioters was to attack secret places where criminals are imprisoned in various countries, and to rescue criminals to strengthen themselves.

Please tell me, why did you make such a judgment? "(End of chapter)
