All things are three at Hogwarts

On the narrow stage where the mixed-race female goblin was supposed to be singing, a chestnut-haired wizard scolded Britain with a fanatical expression on his face, criticizing the countries that had turned to Britain, which attracted applause from the wizards in the audience below. .

"Gangdu Fushi, it's not my uncle's business... Aren't you the one who should know these things?" Ian's fingers tightly squeezed the wine glass, "We had the upper hand in the power struggle with my uncle's conservatives before, but this time This time... Look at the TV, we have now stopped trying to isolate the UK, but have fallen into a state of isolation... Those conservatives will use this incident to attack you."

"There were not a few countries that opposed the UK before. Those in the UK can unite with the outsiders, and we can naturally unite with the diehards who oppose it..." Gangdufus said solemnly, as if he valued Ian's opinion. He leaned on his chair, Crossing the fingers of both hands and placing them freely in front of the evil moon, "Looking at it from another perspective, if we form a new alliance with these countries that have been abandoned outside the scope of their alliance, it will be stronger and more reliable than the previous alliance with those countries that were not firm enough."

"But before so many countries united to resist the British, they didn't do anything to them. What's more, now, even if we unite the remaining abandoned countries... sooner or later we will be distanced by them... In fact, we have already been distanced ...Ahem..." Ian raised his neck again and took a big sip of wine, and the feeling of being set on fire made him choke.

As the liquid that broke into the trachea was coughed out, Ian sighed, just like what his sister said, now it's like this bar is filled with empty words and loud words to express determination, in addition to making himself happy to scold Some of it was a way to vent my emotions, but it was of no benefit to the United States itself and was meaningless.

"It seems that you are not satisfied with these people?" A smile appeared on Graves's lips. He refilled Ian's beer, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Ian, I I have some plans with some people with lofty ideals recently. Do you want to join in some substantive plans? I think you can gain our trust..."

Ian's head, which was heated by the fire whiskey, suddenly trembled. He realized that his friend must be planning some secret plan secretly, and he was afraid that this plan was shady. He took a deep breath and said firmly Say, "Of course I'd love to do some fact-finding, what's the plan about?"

Graves took out a long-horned water snake pendant representing the most intelligent college in Ilvermorny College. The crystal embedded in the forehead shone, the snake's head stretched forward angrily, and the snake letter spit out from his mouth.

Graves pushed it gently in front of Ian: "Use this door key to come directly in the early morning. I will explain it then... I will go over and prepare it first."

……

When the air in this goblin bar was filled with the smell of alcohol and vomit, and no one on the podium started speaking, Ian disappeared into his booth with the long-horned water snake door key in his hand. Then he appeared in another place, sucking in the cold night air.

Opening his eyes and regaining consciousness, Ian found that the place he was standing now looked like the foot of a forested hill in a mountainous area on the outskirts of a Muggle city. Although he couldn't identify where it was for the moment, from a distance It can be seen from the mountain shadow that the surrounding terrain of this Muggle city is complex, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side leads to the outside world, so the development conditions are very limited.

Some people in cloaks had already arrived here in advance. They were waiting quietly in the forest. When they saw Ian's appearance, some wizards he knew took the initiative to come over and say hello. It took a while for Ian to leave. Portkey completely recovered from his dizziness and found that the few people greeting him were the most active young people in the Blind Pig Bar.

Although he was not familiar with some of the wizards around him, he also knew that many of them liked to shout slogans more than take action. They were all well-known foreign hardliners. He learned that several of them were the same as him in the Ministry of Magic. Factions, like himself, hope that the U.S. Congress will be stronger.

The only thing that made Ian a little uncomfortable was that among the people present there were some people wearing black pointed hoods and black robes to hide their true identities. As an Auror, he realized that there was something about these people. There are obvious signs of long-term erosion by black magic.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the forest. When Greenvis appeared, there was some restlessness in the forest. Many wizards had already felt some uneasiness from the atmosphere here. They saw today The convener Greenways then began to greet him proactively, and relaxed a little after receiving the friendly response from the other party as always.

And Ian noticed that the strange thing was that the wizards who hid their faces would bow low when greeting Graves, obviously respecting the convener of the action more than wizards like them.

"Everyone, being able to gather here tonight means that we all have a passion and want to do something practical for our country." Graves's low and powerful voice sounded, "We will start taking action today to deport people in the United States. The evil that spreads across the land takes its first step.”

"Who dares to come to our country to cause trouble? I am responsible for this part in the Congress. I must make them look good!"

"I want my newspapers to expose them, so that I can pass the blame to the British guys from the International Federation of Wizards!"

"Gangdu Fushi, what exactly do we need to do? I can't wait."

……

The unmasked wizards in the forest cheered restlessly and expressed their determination loudly.

"Very good, very energetic!" Gangfu Shi Graves shouted with a pleased expression, "However, I have to make it clear beforehand that... what we are going to do carries great risks, and it will not only violate magic. The laws of Congress may even endanger our lives..." He paused, "If the failure is exposed, it will definitely lead to a blow from the Wizards' Federation controlled by the British, and the country we love will have no reason to fight with us. Excuses to protect our actions."

There was some restlessness in the forest. Although some wizards were passionate, they thought it was just a protest or destruction at most. They never expected that things would become such a big deal. When they heard that what they were doing was illegal, It might even threaten his life, so he was troubled in his heart and his eyes wandered around other wizards.

"I never deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the matter, so I have never told you my plans and goals in advance..." Graves seemed to have expected and prepared for this, "I studied that Alan Harris and found that he I say I like to give others a chance to choose. I think this approach is also very applicable to our own people... What I am doing now is to give everyone another chance to choose. If anyone who regrets it now can quit before understanding the goal... please Friends who want to withdraw, please take seven steps forward and gather in the open space in front."

After a moment of silence, someone finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart. Feeling ashamed, he took advantage of the darkness and took advantage of the darkness to create a mask and put it on his head. Then he walked out with his head lowered. After someone walked out first, the sound of footsteps on branches and fallen leaves was heard. One after another, people concealed their faces and walked from the forest to Graves. Although they did not speak, some wizards were ashamed and even turned to Graves. Bowed deeply.

"Bah, coward, coward."

"Damn it, the passionate speeches I usually give are all lip service."

"What are they? Such people are not worthy of being with us."

……

Disdainful curses resounded in the forest. This behavior of escaping from battle made the wizards who stayed behind look down upon them. The wizards who came forward were scolded so shamefully that they lowered their heads as if they were buried in their chests.

"Please wait a moment, I still have something to say to you." Although Graves seemed to be familiar with all the wizards, he was considerate and did not call out his name. He walked over and patted the other person's shoulder to comfort him, "My My friend, I can understand your current mood, but withdrawing from this operation will not change my view of you. You are still an American with lofty ideals in my heart... I can understand you, after all, our life is not just about ourselves. A person has to take into account many factors such as family... In fact, if our operation fails tonight, I hope you can take over our will and not let this passion go out."

The wizard seemed to be very ashamed when he heard Graves, and because he couldn't bear the ridicule, he turned back to the crowd to express his determination, but was immediately pulled back by Graves.

"Please don't be so embarrassed..." Graves gently patted the other person's back with his hand.

Then, Ian let out a breath. Under the keen eyes of an Auror, he discovered that when Graves was patting the other person's back, he slid down the wand originally hidden in his sleeve and pointed the tip of the wand at this person. The wizard was being comforted by him, and the light of the curse burst out.
