All things are three at Hogwarts

Among the Aurors guarding the highest circle of parliament in the hall, Ian's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and his fingernails dug deeply into his palms. He was just a guard, not a member, and he was forbidden to make a sound on such an occasion. It was impossible for him to express his feelings directly like them, which made him feel as if his throat, heart, and chest were tightly blocked just after returning home.

Ian knew that he was being used by the missing Gangfu Shi, and participated in the attack obsessively. Although he woke up at the last moment, he still killed many people and even caused his own sister Jessica to almost be disfigured...

In the end, on the British side, because of his personal relationship with Allen, Ian was not held accountable and received more protection. On the American side, because of the confidentiality of the operation, even many radicals themselves did not know the arrangements for the attack. My name is not on the list and no control measures have been taken...

Even his uncle Leonard, who had warned him before, did not complain about him as he had imagined but only continued to comfort and enlighten him after he came back. However, facing the current situation and having not been criticized by others, Ian still couldn't get over it no matter what. At this point in my mind, Harris is going to launch a war against the United States. The country will suffer such a disaster because of the previous actions of their radicals...

"I'm also on the list of British guys! For the sake of our American wizarding citizens, I have no problem letting me kiss the dementors... But I would like to remind everyone that Harris's appetite is not that small! Their purpose is not to In addition to surrendering our insignificant lives, I'm afraid Ilvermorny will eventually be surrendered!" Senator Donald from the radical faction stood up. He stretched out his thick neck and stretched out his index finger and snorted, " I heard that Hogwarts has prepared three chains. In addition to Beauxbatons and Durmstrang being chained, there is still one free!"

After Donald brought up the matter of Ilvermorny, the conservatives and centrists who had previously occupied the upper hand became silent. No one wanted to become a sinner in the history of American magic and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be criticized forever.

Leonard, who had been silent until now, glanced at Eberstadt, who was as still as a clock and was lost in thought. He tugged on his tie, simply stood up and used his loud voice before saying: "Everyone, I want to I have something to say."

The congressmen looked at Leonard who stood up. Although he personally felt quite difficult to deal with in the Ministry of Magic, and was famous for duels when he was young, his personal political views were indeed conservative, and he had always been conservative before. He has shown a style of being close to Harris. Now that he stands up to speak, he probably wants to persuade everyone to surrender in a more explicit way.

"Everyone, I have to admit that in the face of the requirements of the United Kingdom...or the current Magic Kingdom, I think we cannot boast to our American wizarding citizens and tell them that we have enough power to defend against all this..." Leonard said with a guilty look on his face.

The congressmen in the audience nodded clearly. This is also the most practical problem now. Although Germany has never recovered due to the problem of the first generation of Dark Lord, it lost so quickly to Bulgaria this time. It is even said that there is basically nothing. The complete defeat of the resistance frightened these American wizards. Even though the United States has been prospering since the Salem Witch Trials, because of its vast land, it has always been considered a powerful country in the magical world. Hogwarts, these sober-minded congressmen are not as blind as those passionate civilians outside who shout that our country is invincible.

"But I have to remind everyone that this is one thing that we must see... or face up to. Our Ilvermorny, a magic school cannot satisfy their appetite. This is my opinion of Minister Owen. Understand... you should know that he comes from the academy of Gormley Gaunt, the terrible aunt of Isothel, the founder of Ilvermorny, the most ambitious Slytherin academy." Leonard frowned and looked around The wizards in the conference hall were surprised by his change of subject, "In fact, no matter what compromise we make...even if we hand over the annoying Congressman Donald and his people, we will be founded in the 17th century , hand over our alma mater located on the top of Mount Greylock, Massachusetts... None of them will give up their intention to occupy the entire United States... So now the tone is about responsibility, what we should do is to do our best to defend our hometown."

A relatively young conservative beside Ebosta asked in a low voice with some annoyance: "Leonard, are you under the Ecstasy? Britain, not to mention France, didn't even occupy Bulgaria. It only wanted a school." How could the other party spend so much effort to occupy us? If they occupied Germany, I think it was just those Harris who took their hometown back..."

"Neville, I don't think you will miss this. It is precisely because they did not occupy France that they prove that their target is us, the United States... If they occupy France, they will not be able to continue their aggressive behavior for the same reason. ...Other countries in the world will not let the British continue to occupy this endless attack...So they chose a smarter way. In addition to giving up France, they also gave Bulgaria to his current friends in exchange for us. To support our actions..." Leonard said calmly, but slightly raised his voice, "The situation in the United States is different from that of France. Our territory is far wider than that of Germany and France, and our materials are unique and abundant... This is why the United Kingdom has a strong influence on us. The reason is that... as long as they occupy our apprentices, they will be able to be basically self-sufficient in the future. The previous economic sanctions against the UK will not be effective, and that situation will naturally not happen again in the future. …”

This silenced the wizards present. As far as Leonard's words were concerned, as politicians, such thoughts had indeed flashed through their minds, but in the face of this cruel reality, more people were just like when Voldemort returned. Even with Dumbledore's certainty, he deceived himself and refused to believe it. ?

But now Leonard said it bluntly and analyzed the reason face to face without reservation.

The neutrals who were previously inclined to want to make friends began to whisper and discuss Leonard's words. The conservatives did not speak, but the frightened eyes still proved to shake their opinions.

Since Britain is interested in the territory of the United States and wants material resources, it means that everyone sitting here has no choice but to fight. Otherwise, not to mention, there will be nothing, and even the American wizarding world itself will be lost. will not exist.

The faces of those radical wizards who were under the attack of conservatives and centrists before and who had previously felt that they had made a mistake and wanted to break the pot and sacrifice themselves to meet the British requirements have regained their confidence. They now feel that My purpose is good, even if my methods are a little frivolous, my attitude toward Britain that I have always insisted on is correct.

"We need to be clear that the British magical community is now the strongest in the world. This is undisputed and we need to face it, especially after it annexed Germany... We must realize that next we will be threatened by the British invasion. To survive...even if we can get little help from the international community, even if we have to pay a heavy price to end the struggle, that is what we have to fight for anyway, otherwise the United States will not exist in the future, but will become an AI Part of the new crown of Mr. Lenharris." Leonard's tone was heavy but serious. He turned to the rostrum, "Your Excellency, President Picquery, I hope that Congress can immediately mobilize... try to unite those who are fighting in this Greek duel. After the attack on the stadium, the small countries that did not gain any benefits contacted those countries that had conflicts with the United Kingdom before...even the goblins who were severely hit by the wizard banking industry...try their best to achieve a brotherhood. A coalition that helps each other.”

"Leonard, don't forget that we also opened our own bank belonging to wizards, those goblins..." Donald said loudly. In fact, the radicals controlled the new banking industry during this reform. He heard the meaning of the other party's words. emphasized.

"The Wizards Bank can be given up when necessary, and everything else can be given up, but the American wizarding community cannot be given up!" Leonard slapped the table to interrupt Donald, "Now, whether we are conservatives or radicals Or other factions, we must work together for a common goal and defend our homeland to the death. If we all perform our duties, do not overlook a mistake, and make the best and best arrangements, we will be able to prove ourselves , can protect our hometown and let him weather the storm of war safely."
