A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 692: Grand fireworks
Amid all the attention, the appointed time has come.
The front of the Parliament building was overcrowded, and the anti-wizard crowd chose to hold demonstrations on this day. People from all the counties around London came, and there were also many stragglers who came from the north for thousands of miles, and they didn't even eat much. When I opened my mouth, I took out the banners and leaflets from the suitcase and joined the parade, but there were too many people. The printed leaflets were not enough. Many people came to ask them for leaflets with a smile on their face. Even the booklets in the organizers’ hands were handed out. The crowd walked forward slowly, occasionally raised their necks and shouted a few slogans. .
"Who are these people?" The organizer couldn't figure it out.
His assistant went out to make a circle and came back to report.
"There are quite a few foreigners, as well as people from several nearby counties. They came to witness this important historical event." Seeing the organizer glaring at him, the assistant hurriedly said, "Of course we also have many companions. I saw Six or seven familiar organization names, all recently established."
He is telling the truth. At this point in time, although the Internet has appeared, its influence is still not as good as that of the paper media. This has led to the fact that there has not yet been a national anti-wizard organization—all of them are based on counties and counties, and few of them can span multiple places. In order to publicize their ideas, many organizations published the news in newspapers, and attached their addresses and telephone numbers.
What they didn't know was that there were also a small number of wizards mixed in with the crowd.
There is never a shortage of people in strange costumes in the parade, which provides a safe environment for the wizards to hide their identities. Some wizards walked a certain distance with the procession and immediately couldn't stand it and quit.
"There are so many people who are against wizards." Ernie McMillan said palely, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was frightened by the huge parade.
"There are more people than the New Year's Parade." Justin Finlieri also said with lingering fear.
The sky is dark, gloomy, and cloudy. It had just rained lightly in the morning, but the clouds not only did not disperse in the afternoon, but became thicker. The sky above them looked like an ink bottle had been knocked over, it was pitch black, and a rainstorm might fall at any moment. The distant, harsh gray-white sky is ominous.
More wizards chose to stand on the roof of the building. They got news from magic radio stations and newspapers, and came to wait for the results. Looking down from a height, the winding and colorful teams filled the streets, shouting loud slogans every once in a while, like the raging waves rolled up by the sea. The closer to the Thames,
The more you can see the focus of these teams - the parliament building.
The corner in front of the parliament building is already filled with all kinds of interview vehicles. Well-known news media from all over the country and even around the world have come,
They are eager to get first-hand information, whether it is the wizarding world or ordinary people, they can easily draw a conclusion:
What is about to happen today is of great importance, representing the first official contact between wizards and ordinary people, and its consequences are far-reaching and immeasurable.
"There were police at the scene to maintain order, and we could see that the Sun sent many well-known reporters, including Skeeter, who was famous in the series of anti-gun news - she had previously won the National Journalism Award - for two weeks During the riots before, she had a brief conversation with a wizard, and she wondered if she could continue her luck today..."
A reporter shouted loudly into the camera, and his voice spread to thousands of households in the next second.
City of London——The Grangers are sitting on the sofa with their hands clasped tightly; Mr. Finliery's cup is hanging in the air, and the coffee in it is cold; Privet Drive, Surrey, Uncle Fernon Cursingly, he turned on the TV and said a few familiar foul words.
Cornwall, Abria, Devon, Isle of Wight, Kent, everyone's heart is touched in front of the Houses of Parliament...
On a tall building across the Thames, two figures suddenly appeared. It was gray and windy, so no one saw them.
The two seem to be carved out of the same mold.
"It was you, George," said Fred gravely.
"Yeah, what a coincidence, how did you appear here?" George said tacitly.
"I think it's because we both Apparated together." Fred grinned.
"There, you two!" cried Mrs. Weasley distraughtly, with Ginny and Penelope beside her. "I warn you, don't cause trouble today, if you dare to sprinkle candy down there"
Fred and George exchanged a look.
"That's wonderful, Mom, why didn't we think of that? We only brought the latest model Weasley Firework One"
"A theater should invite you as a consultant."
"Shut up both of you!" said Mrs. Weasley furiously, waving her wand like a kindling stick. Fred and George winced in fear.
"Where's Bill and Fleur?" Fred looked around.
"One—and Charlie," said George.
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be quite big." Fred said.
Mrs. Weasley's eyes were burning, but she forced herself to calm down. There were Muggles below. She reprimanded in a low voice: "You all calm down! Your father and Percy cooperated with the Ministry of Magic's operations, Bill and Fleur mixed into the crowd to maintain order, as for Charlie..." She was stunned, "His work is kept secret."
"More important than Harry and Ron?" Fred and George asked curiously.
"That's different," said Mrs. Weasley sternly. "The two of them don't need to keep it secret. It has been published in the newspapers long ago. There are fourteen children in total...They are still so young, and they will shoulder the future of the wizarding world." She wiped her eyes.
"Don't make Mom angry!" Ginny raised her eyebrows, "She has cried in secret several times."
"Don't worry, Professor Haipu will protect them." Penello also said, "There are wizards hidden around."
"Yeah, I think at least one tenth of the wizards have come, and Diagon Alley is half empty." Fred said looking around, pointing in one direction, "I saw someone I know, over there is The Diggory family, see? Cedric is waving at us!"
"Do you want to go over and say hello?" George asked with his head tilted.
"You talked to my heart." Fred said with a smile, and the two of them apparated hand in hand, and Mrs. Weasley puffed out her chest like a bullfrog angrily. Don't worry!"
Ginny's eyes flickered, and she also wanted to go out for a walk, but it was a step too late.
After a while, Fred and George came back, bringing back news of the neighborhood by the way
"Cedric said he couldn't get in touch with Cho, and I told him his girlfriend would fall from the sky in half an hour—what a pity,
We have already graduated, otherwise we might be able to get in."
"Fred!"
"Well, they're all fine, and they're in a stable mood at the moment—except that the place the Perkins family picked collided with Muggle enforcers, and they had to change places!"
"Is old Perkins still hunched?" asked Mrs. Weasley with concern.
"Mom, I didn't think you'd ask that question, he's been giving away camping gear for the last two years—oh, don't interrupt, Mom, we also saw the Lovegoods, dressed like Two orioles. By the way, have we cast a protective spell?"
"It has been applied."
If the parade on the ground is like surging waves, then the roofs of the surrounding buildings are the reefs on the sea. They seem to be occupied by wizards and have been cursed to repel Muggles. Everyone is waiting anxiously.
The parade finally converged in front of the parliament building, waving flags and slogans (and raincoats) of various colors. Severely punish lawbreakers", of course, there are also some strange guys mixed in among these people, a small group of young people painted their faces with occult symbols, and there are two wearing wizard hats and "Welcome wizards to rule the world" Banners, but they are weak, their faces are swollen by angry passers-by, and they look listless at this time.
More people sat in front of the TV, pinching the time, preparing to see the true face of the wizard.
The Parliament Building, formerly known as the Palace of Westminster, is the largest Gothic architectural complex in the world. It covers an area of more than 8 acres, including the main building, horizontal buildings, and towers. location. As a famous national business card, of course, it also carries other purposes, such as today's occasion.
A group of soldiers wearing bearskin caps, red velvet military uniforms and black trousers stood guard at the door. They followed the queen to drive here an hour ago. The queen was surrounded by the prime minister and several ministers of state. Didn't come out after that.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Big Ben clock in the northeast corner of the palace struck the time on time. Everyone cheered up, the time has come.
The queen and the prime minister came out of the palace, followed by a group of cabinet ministers and MPs, and of course their well-dressed wives and family members-although everyone knew what was going on, but in name at least, the queen was just She moved her mind to invite wizards to her afternoon tea party, and if the talk goes well, there may be a bonfire party in the evening.
"How's the science department doing?" a senator asked the acolyte.
"The equipment is still being debugged. It is the first time for them to observe magic up close, and their attitudes are very positive. I believe that they will be able to measure useful data."
"I'm not as confident as you."
The door opened slowly, and the queen's support team became more upright. Everyone (including the people watching in front of the TV) was looking forward to it, guessing how the wizard would appear.
"Are the tomatoes and rotten eggs ready?" someone in the crowd asked in a low voice, hiding under the huge banner.
"I'm ready, I guarantee that no matter where they come from, they won't be able to hide." The person next to him said unequivocally.
"Don't forget, those monsters can fly."
"We have a water gun filled with chili oil, and I heard that someone brought a stun gun!"
"Just give them some color! Give me a rotten egg—forget it, and replace it with tomatoes."
"Look at the sky!" shouted someone with sharp eyes.
The black and dark gray clouds kept churning, and then an area turned orange-red, and the blazing pillars burned through the thick clouds, forming a gorgeous fan like a leaky faucet. There was a burst of commotion and exclamations on the ground—"It's a dragon!" More people raised their heads, and a black hideous creature loomed in the clouds, covered with black scales, with bronze horns full of cold light on its head, and yellow eyes. Looking down, there are some people standing on it.
The mythical creature made the people below shudder, and the microphones raised by the reporters fell to the ground at some point.
"Let's go down." Felix said calmly: "Remember not to overreact, I will remove the danger in advance. Charlie, you can leave with the fire dragon when we go down."
"Professor, can the singing of the school song be cancelled?" Ron said expectantly, "I can't find the tune." Be constructive.
"The joke is nice, Weasley," said Felix calmly, "but the answer is no."
He said and jumped down.
Harry followed closely behind, followed by Ron, Hermione, Neville, Cho Chang, Susan Bones, Draco Malfoy, and Daphne Greengrass, a total of fourteen students. They have spent a lot of time practicing floating magic in the past few days to make themselves appear more elegant.
"One, two, three, four... a total of fifteen wizards!"
Fifteen wizards descended from the sky, spotless, and the people below were amazed. When they came, there was an earth-shattering roar from the clouds, and then a long tail covered with bronze thorns broke through the clouds, flicked hard, and then disappeared not see.
The soft sunlight cast a beam of light on the open space in front of the parliament building, and on the faces of Felix and the others. Everyone stared at them blankly. The dark clouds gathered again, and the sun was blocked out again. But it was an appearance that will never be forgotten.
The prime minister was the first to come to his senses.
He knew part of the wizard's plan. But even if he didn't know, he and his staff could analyze the possibility that the wizard wanted to take this opportunity to show his strength--this was exactly what he wanted, and he arranged scientists and military personnel to observe nearby.
The absence of war does not mean that there is no need for games. On the contrary, this kind of struggle will be more covert and more comprehensive. Today is just the beginning, and the real negotiations will become intense. Even if the results of the negotiations come out, they will not stop. They plan to use the cage of the system and the law to trap the wizard. The Prime Minister strode over and warmly shook hands with Felix, who was standing in front of the line.
Felix was a beat slower, and the other one lived in a thinking hut, collecting, summarizing, and processing information from a radius of more than ten miles. He also used weak emotional magic to amplify the emotions of some people, and they were full at the moment. The mind is full of ferocious monsters on top of their heads, worried that if they jump out and interrupt the process, a ball of flames will fall from the top of their heads, or they will be grabbed by a claw.
"You are welcome." The Prime Minister said enthusiastically. He shook hands for a long time, giving the reporter enough time to take pictures. Then they walked slowly towards the gate, where the queen stood quietly, smiling modestly.
Reporters have the keenest sense of smell, and their psychological quality is higher than that of ordinary people. They can't wait to get to the front, and countless microphones stick out from both sides of the road. A whole bunch of questions were thrown out:
"May I ask what mission you are here with?"
"The newspaper says you are a wizard's teacher, but you look very young. Is the average age of wizards younger than the average person?"
"If negotiations fail, will wizards go to war with the government?"
"Do you really know magic? Are you a liar? Do you agree to undergo rigorous testing?"
"The weather in the whole of the UK today is cloudy with dark clouds. Does it indicate that the negotiations will not go smoothly?"
Felix glanced at Rita Skeeter, I only want you to mention London, what are you talking about the whole country with me? He ignored her and continued on his way. The students held their heads high and followed behind in a pre-rehearsed manner. They endured very hard.
"These questions are stupid—"
"Shut up." Harry squeezed the word out of his teeth, he pretended to cough, and led the way in the shutter of the flash.
Felix stood in front of the queen, and the queen's smile became more and more gentle. She was wearing white gloves and was about to extend a hand at this moment. Felix bowed slightly, then quickly stood up straight, and turned to face the crowd. His loud voice spread over a dozen blocks:
"Thank you Queen for your kind invitation. We have carefully prepared a gift for this, but there is a more suitable gift right now." He said as he raised his wand,
Everyone around took a step back. The prime minister's eyes widened, and the MPs behind them had different expressions.
"Hogwarts Student One"
The fourteen students raised their magic wands in unison, with solemn and solemn expressions.
A milky white beam of light rose into the sky, the light was extremely holy, and people seemed to see an elegant figure with wings stretched in the beam of light, with its head held high, it rushed straight to the clouds above the sky.
Fourteen slender beams of light also crossed the heads of the crowd. They converged at a high place, and a sun seemed to appear out of nowhere in the sky. The sun emitted a soft light, completely illuminating the earth.
There seems to be a light curtain covering their heads, and the light curtain is expanding rapidly.
The Secret Room of the Parliament Building—
"Detected?"
"Not yet, all the instruments suddenly failed!"
"Damn, what kind of magic is this? Why is it so large, covering at least a dozen blocks, God, it won't spread to the whole city, right?"
"General, at present, this magic is not lethal."
"Call me Mrs. Can you tell me? Of course they don't kill people in full view, but what if they plan to do it one day? Hurry up, measure the range of this magic - forget about those broken instruments Look with your eyes!" The congressman said excitedly, he rushed to the window and looked at the sky with a telescope, under the effect of the unknown magic, the black clouds were pierced and dispersed, and the sky seemed to have a big hole,
Pieces of azure blue sky are revealed.
Sunshine took the opportunity to fall, and the water mist in the dark clouds refracted the magical white light into colorful colors. The raindrops condensed and dripped, and every drop of rain seemed to become light rain, reflecting thousands of rays of light, and the scene was beautiful.
Fred and George stared dumbfounded.
Fred swallowed quietly, "We can't get our fireworks out at all." George didn't speak, but just nodded. Ginny stared at the black-haired young wizard in the clearing with all her heart and soul. The beam of light flying from the tip of his staff was the brightest among all the students, almost comparable to that of Professor Haip. The pride in her heart was about to overflow.
At the same time, on the roof of another building, Luna's eyes widened suddenly.
"It's now."
"What?" Mr. Lovegood looked at his daughter in surprise.
"A grand firework. The scene I saw in the flame divination is at this moment." Luna said seriously, she was wearing a bright skirt,
Adorned with pebbles and colorful sequins tied around her body and hair, she might be the most confident of them all.
Now she holds her hands together, and the ancient rune quickly gathers, forming a crystal clear ball of light in the blink of an eye.
"Luna—" Mr. Lovegood said nervously.
"It can't be wrong," said Luna, "I've been waiting for this moment." She held up her hands reverently.
The ball of light floated into the air, and was precisely deformed under the control of magic power, forming a beam of light identical to that below, which merged with the light curtain in the sky.
The speed at which the light curtain expands is insignificantly faster. Many people turned their eyes, and Mrs. Weasley gasped, as if she was about to faint.
"Guess what we saw?" Fred said happily, "It's much more spectacular than fireworks." He and George raised their wands, and the tip of the wand also had a white light.
Cedric not far away smiled and held up his wand.
More people joined in, and wizards and students on vacation who were hiding all over London lit their wands one after another... It was as if they were invited to a grand event, and they even seemed eager to wait. Beams of light instantly illuminated the entire city.
The drizzle was like weaving, and the fireworks enveloped the whole city.
The holy laser beam pierced through the dark clouds, crossed the city border, and covered most of the suburbs of London.
The magic radio station stopped strangely for more than ten seconds, and the wizards standing in front of the radio looked at each other in blank dismay. I don't understand why there is no sound suddenly. Wasn't that young man quite able to speak before? Suddenly, Lee Jordan's excited voice came from the radio.
It's incredible! All wizards - I don't know if I can say this - if you can also illuminate, then get out of the room,
Join this great relay together! For everyone! "
Many wizards walked out of the house holding the radio in doubt.
A wizard living in the suburbs of London was the first to see Brother Sheng in front of him. They stared wide-eyed, and the mighty white light rolled up violent waves, completely smashing the dark clouds above their heads like a vast ocean, followed by tiny, soft colorful lights, shining on the ground, and the wine was on their faces—they all agreed He raised his wand, and the magic power poured into the wand like a tide.
Thanks to the restraint effect of this magic on dark creatures~IndoMTL.com~Thanks to the propaganda of the Future World Company, the Ministry of Magic and the Anti-Dark Magic League during the war last year, and thanks to the fact that Illumination is the simplest ancient magic, Thanks to the lighting technique you can blend...
This may be the widest range of magic ever cast.
With the urban area of London as the center, crossing the suburbs, radiating outwards, and soon reaching the neighboring counties of Surrey, Kent, Hertford, and Essex, there are also new wizards joining in, so the scope Expand again. In just a few minutes, even the Scottish Highlands were illuminated.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Professor McGonagall looked up, and a bright light shone into the headmaster's office from the window. The wrinkles on her face stretched out, looking at the portrait of Dumbledore on the wall, that face also showed joy and amazement.
"He's doing well, isn't he?" said Professor McGonagall gently.
Dumbledore nodded happily.
Felix, who is far away in London, is of course not aware of all this, and his thinking cabin can't project that far.
His plan at the beginning was to light up 'the whole of London, and he also planned to let the Thunderbirds gather the clouds in advance, but the weather forecast said that these two days would be cloudy, so even this matter was saved.
Although he didn't go exactly as he wanted, and there were weird changes in the middle, but it seemed to be a good change.
Felix put away his wand, faced the crowd standing blankly, and said clearly and accurately:
"This is the gift that wizards give to the queen, and even the entire non-magical world. I believe that as long as the two parties cooperate sincerely, we can not only dispel the dark clouds above our heads, but also dispel the haze in our hearts."
