All things are three at Hogwarts

On Mount Greylock in Massachusetts, hidden among the swirling clouds and mists, is the famous North American magic school Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is equipped with a variety of powerful magics, making it invisible to non-magic people. Its existence can only be seen when it is surrounded by clouds and mist.

In the seventeenth century, the school began with a simple stone house, two teachers and two students. Now, the granite hut of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has flourished for more than two centuries, has been transformed into a magnificent castle.

In memory of the founders, Isolt Thayer and James Stewart, marble statues of them are erected on either side of the main entrance to Ilvermorny Castle.

Near the castle, there are some Pukki with bows on their backs as guards. They disappear and appear near the school from time to time, or turn themselves into two forms: porcupine or puma.

This North American magical creature is a distant relative of goblins. It is also short in stature. In human form, it is about two to three feet tall. It has a larger nose than European goblins, has long ears and fingers, and is gray and smooth. The skin sometimes glows.

A tree with a crown like a giant umbrella, tall and straight stems and green leaves, like a work of art, stands alone in the courtyard outside the hall. The dark brown leaves are spirally arranged at the top of the straight stems, and it looks like Very lush.

The gate of the fort opens to both sides, and you can see the magnificent rotunda with a glass dome above it.

On the second floor of the hall, there is a wooden terrace surrounding the hall. Otherwise, there is almost nothing superfluous in the hall, except for four other wooden carvings representing the four houses: the horned water snake, the cat and leopard, the thunderbird, and the pukki.

The young wizards who were still at Ilvermorny School, who felt that their identities were clean and had no involved families, were standing on the wooden terrace surrounding the hall, wearing blue and raspberry red uniforms and robes.

After receiving the news that the United Magic Kingdom was dispatched, they gathered here to wait for the United Kingdom to accept it. Because Chairman Picquery knew that the other party was also coming with the International Wizarding United Peacekeeping Force, he couldn't bear the school to be burned down, so he left the school there. The plan to use this place as a resistance base became to leave this alma mater of American wizards in an undefended state, hoping that this would more completely preserve this magic school established in the seventeenth century.

In the distant sky, you can see that the floating ship on which the vanguard of the United Magic Kingdom is riding has broken through the clouds, shrouding the earth in darkness.

The wizards who were watching saw this in their eyes, and they started to become restless.

As the interim acting principal, Gilbert Fontana quickly reassured the students. The original principal of Ilvermorny had hid in the Rocky Mountains because of his suspected involvement in the attack. As a descendant of Theddard Fontana, the first Auror in the United States, Ai Gilbert was successfully appointed as interim acting principal.

"After the Magical Congress burned down its headquarters, we no longer have any landmark buildings except Ilvermorny... but now we do not offer any resistance at all and actively open the door to welcome the invaders. This is a shame..."

"They say it's to save the school, but what's the difference between that and surrendering."

"The professors don't allow us to resist and consider the overall situation...Today we will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history..."

……

The orders of the acting principal Ai, who took over the school in a hurry and has not yet established his prestige, made the students somewhat reluctant. However, under the comfort and request of the principal and professors, these wizards did not take any further action except complaining.

In fact, the United Kingdom's march this time was not as fast as the previous invasion of Germany and Bulgaria, because except for the Rocky Mountains, the population of American wizards is too small for the size of the United States. The land area of ​​the American wizarding community is almost the same as that of Germany before. Thirty times that of the magical world, and many base areas are important resource places such as magical animal sanctuaries controlled by only a few wizards. This also led to the scattered gathering places of wizards, and many places were even abandoned by American wizards because of their vast land and sparse population.

Along the way, the Magic Kingdom spent a lot of time returning the magical beasts in the protected area that were no longer restricted by wizards, and repairing the Muggle areas destroyed by them, which slowed down the capture.

And now, as the aerospace flagship of the Magic Kingdom begins to descend and approaches the land, at the instructions of the professors, the school song of Ilvermorny suddenly sounds, and the soundtrack echoes in the space.

"We are united,

Against the Puritans.

We draw inspiration,

From the good wizard Morrigan..."

The school song that the wizards were forced to sing was not loud. The singing that was originally joyful and proud was now somewhat suppressed by the wizards, and the expressions on their faces were also different.

Ilvermorny Cat Leopard Academy is rich in warriors, and they are the most angry at this attitude of surrendering without a fight. Their strong nationalist complex makes them react the most violently, almost all of them with humiliating angry expressions on their faces.

Because the wizards of Pukechi Academy are kind-hearted doctors, they don't have a good impression of the floating city of Hogwarts where black magic is prevalent. They think about the floating city and even the use of blasphemous necromancy spells in industry and agriculture. A flash of worry.

Thunderbird Academy is home to many adventurers. Although they also feel humiliated and frustrated because they did not resist, in fact, there is nothing objectionable about joining the floating city to learn new ways.

In fact, except for most of the little wizards who looked sad, there were a few little wizards, especially the little wizards from the Horned Water Serpent Academy, who were even a little happy inside. They were quite happy that their school was occupied by Hogwarts. There is no resistance. Originally, they thought that because of the relationship between the United States and Britain, they would not have the opportunity to experience the floating city, but now it is very likely that they will float to Hogwart like Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Next to Ci, you can have inter-school exchanges and learn new knowledge in the future, which even makes these top students of Ilvermorny have some aspirations.

Judging from the atmosphere in other colleges, they have no intention of revealing their true feelings. Only some horned water snakes who are about to graduate are worried. Ilvermorny joins Hogwarts and they have no time to enjoy the benefits. And now Magic Congress has been burned by magic officials in the United States, and the final exams that were about to begin seem to have been ruined. This makes them very worried about their certificates and how to prove their abilities to find suitable jobs.

As for the Magic Kingdom, since the Magical Congress of the United States of America has been burned down, conquering Ilvermorny, the alma mater of American wizards, has important symbolic significance.

For this reason, Irving's staff deliberately arranged the operation for personal gain, with Albert, the commander-in-chief, personally bringing a team of armed forces to receive it, and asked Penello to arrange the peacekeeping force mission and let her follow in her personal capacity. Come over to gild their political resumes.

By now, when the aerostat had landed steadily, the commanders of the Magic Kingdom stepped into this magic school, which was originally known for its democracy, accompanied by the end of Ilvermorny's school song.

Acting Principal Fontana suppressed the humiliation and sadness rising in his heart. No matter what he thought, he took the initiative to greet him with a smile: "Your Excellency Harris, Miss Crevat... I am Acting Principal Ai Gilbert Fontana. Welcome to Ilvermorny, America.”

Albert did not ask about the situation of the former principal. Unlike Penello who looked disdainful, he instead maintained the politeness that a former British wizard should have and shook hands with the other party: "Principal Fontana, please Please introduce us to the history of this great school, Ilvermorny. I was very curious about this school when I was at Hogwarts. All American wizards were trained by it, right?"

"Nowadays, wizards and wizards from all over the Americas choose to send their children to study here. Ilvermorny, a boarding school in particular, occupies the most important position in the history of magic in North America." Fontana said with pride in his tone. , "Ilvermorny School of Magic and Witchcraft originated from Isothel, a witch in Ireland. It has flourished for more than two centuries since the seventeenth century because one of our founders, James Stewart, was a hemp. He is a chicken, so the public expects the school to adopt a democratic style... Of course, this is also the case." There was some flattery in his words that contained the same pride as before, "Before the reform of Hogwarts, Ilvermorny was recognized as the most democratic and democratic school. One of the greatest magic schools with the most educated people. Of course, under the wise reforms of Principal Harris, no other school can compare with Hogwarts in terms of degree of democracy and speed of development..."
