Admiral of Hogwarts

Twenty years before this era, the electric light had been invented. But it has not gained widespread popularity. Some large cities may have bright electric lights for lighting, but most areas still use open flames for lighting as in ancient times.

For example, this is the case in the town where Hugo and the others are now. Whether it is the dark streets or the dim lights in the windows, it shows that this town has not entered the electric age like London or New York in this era.

But this is not bad news for Hugo and the others, because the darkness will hide their figures, making it easier for them to avoid the curious eyes of the people in the town.

After turning right along the narrow alley and entering the center of the town, some light finally appeared in front of Hugo and the three of them - they arrived at the small square in the center of the town.

Unlike those dark alleys, several street lamps were lit around the square. Although these street lamps were all kerosene lamps, they still cast a dim yellow light over the core area of ​​the town.

In the center of the square is a flower bed filled with various flowers and plants, and several cast iron benches are placed around the flower bed. But because it was night, there was only a black cat standing vigilantly on the chair.

As the core of the town, various service facilities are also built around the square. For example, there are several shops, a post office, a bar, and a small church. Even at night, the stained glass radiates like jewels across the square.

"Meow——" Maybe it felt something was wrong with the surrounding environment, so the black cat meowed and jumped off the chair, then disappeared into the dark alleys around the square.

At this time, Hermione found a street sign on the side of the garden, and then raised her face to read the content on the street sign.

"Godric's Hollow - this is Godric's Hollow." After carefully reading the words on the street sign under the dim light, Hermione grabbed Hugo's hand with some excitement.

Hugo knew why his sister was so excited, so here is the birthplace of Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, and the name of this place also comes from this.

When the International Statute of Secrecy was signed into effect in 1689, wizards completely went into hiding.

Perhaps naturally, they formed their own little communities within the community.Many small villages have attracted several wizard families, and these families unite to help and protect each other.

Dingworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire, and Ottery-St. Catchpole on the south coast of England are all home to wizarding families, in tolerant and sometimes bewildering places. Life among Muggles.

Godric's Hollow is the most famous settlement among these mixed settlements of Muggles and wizards. According to textbook records, in addition to the famous Gryffindor, it is also home to the wizard goldsmith Bowman. The place where Wright built the first Golden Snitch.

"I remember that there was a cemetery in this town that belonged to wizards, and the magic that the wizards put in the cemetery to avoid being discovered also made this church the reason for the ghost stories in the town for centuries."

After recovering from the shock of seeing this familiar place name, Hermione quickly remembered the knowledge related to this town that she had learned in the History of Magic class. "And if I remember correctly, Harry was actually born here."

"Yes, but the one living here now should be Henry Potter." Through the Admiral Network, Hugo recalled the information on Pottermore in his previous life. "He is Harry's great-grandfather and will be a member of the Wizengamot in the future."

"It's just that after the outbreak of World War I, the then Minister of Magic, Archer Evermund, banned the wizarding world from participating in it in order to prevent the International Statute of Secrecy from being violated."

"Henry Potter firmly believes that it is inhumane to stand by and do nothing when a Muggle neighbor is in danger, so he publicly strongly condemns this."

"According to the information I have seen before, the reputation of the Potter family is actually similar to that of the Weasley family. They have always been considered to be staunchly pro-Muggle." Shengli added quietly at this time.

"I think this is one of the reasons why although their family is an ancient pure-blood family, they are excluded from the twenty-eight sacred clans."

"Then why was the Weasley family included in that list?" Hermione asked with some confusion, because Hugo had a good relationship with the Weasley twins. So even Hermione is quite aware of some of the habits of the Weasley family.

"Because the Potter family has been sparsely populated in the 19th and 20th centuries, and population is strength in the wizarding world. So compared to the prosperous Weasley family, that group of people naturally ignored Potter." Hugo shrugged He said with a shrug.

While they were chatting quietly, Shengli had already opened the door to the cemetery with the two wires he carried. Then the three of them got into the cemetery through the slightly open door.

This location is located behind the church, with rows of tombstones standing quietly in the darkness. The first tombstone upon entering is engraved with the name Ai Bo.

After quickly checking the tombstones closest to the entrance, Hugo and the others found that these tombstones were arranged according to family and first letter of the last name, and the tombstones of a family were all placed together.

"Look at this." Less than five minutes before everyone started looking for familiar surnames here, Shengli sent a signal to Hugo through the Admiral's network.

Hugo immediately pulled Hermione to two rows of tombstones, and then bent down to look at the tombstone marked by Victory that didn't look too old.

The tombstone was engraved with the name of Candela Dumbledore, and after a simple search around the area, they found another tombstone with the name of Percival Dumbledore.

"They are -" Dumbledore did not have a particularly common surname, so after seeing the words on the two tombstones clearly, Hermione immediately asked.

"They are Principal Dumbledore's father and mother." Hugo explained in a low voice, and then the three of them came to a corner of the cemetery, and then Shengli whispered the story of Principal Dumbledore when he was young.

"That is to say, Dumbledore's sister Ariana will die in a sudden conflict this year." As soon as Victory finished speaking, Hermione touched her mouth with her hand sadly.

"Yes, this incident not only permanently affected Principal Dumbledore himself, but also affected the entire wizarding world in Europe." Hugo said, looking at his sister.

"Because of this incident, our principal, his lover and like-minded companion Grindelwald completely broke off. And in the subsequent war, he defeated the then Dark Lord Grindelwald."

"And if it hadn't been for this, our principal wouldn't have woken up so quickly. Then more people might have died in that war."

"Even the young principal may have been so blinded by love that he did not stand on the side of justice. Instead, he became a Dark Lord similar to Grindelwald——"

"Stop talking." Hermione shuddered after hearing what Hugo said. "Just thinking about this possibility is despairing."
