Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Devon, near the village of Otri-San Cappol.

Among the once deserted low mountains, I do not know when a small wizard village appeared.

Some time ago, after soliciting the opinions of "local villagers", the Ministry of Magic formally classified this new wizard village named Quibble as a few key wizard settlements in the United Kingdom, and the burrows near the village were naturally included. among them.

As for the origin of the village name of Queble, it is extremely simple-"" The Quibbler "(The Quibbler).

With the increasing sales of "New Singing and Countering", and the secondary magazines "Hogwarts on the Tongue" and "Exploration and Discovery" derived from this, the number of subscribers is increasing, only With the original family workshops of Xenophilius Lovegood, it is clearly impossible to support such a huge news magazine position.

As a matter of course, with the joint funding of Hogwarts and Gu Ling Pavilion, "New Singing Contrast" quickly grew into a giant enterprise in the European magic world, with nearly thirty wizarding employees, and Several leprechaun accountants.

For the convenience of work and communication, some of the wizard employees of "New Singing Contrast" moved to the editor-in-chief Xenophilius Lovegood's house to settle, which is naturally a reasonable thing ...

As for why at the beginning, the proportion of foreign elderly people was the most, this is not important.

Anyway, with the passage of time, the number of residents in this village has gradually increased, and now there are almost a hundred wizards, plus at least dozens of goblins, choosing to settle in this humble and remote village.

"After that ... let's limit the number of people a little ..."

Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows and looked helplessly at the white-haired dumplings that followed him.

"If we continue to develop like this, this is not a wizard village, but a wizard city. Even if Connelly Fudge is stupid, it is impossible to believe that there will be thousands of foreign wizards for a magazine, not far away. Move to the UK. "

"You can rest assured, Professor Dumbledore, everything is under control."

Elena with her hands behind her back, dexterously beating on the stone street, and replied carelessly.

"We have simulated many times, and with the number of Aurors in the British magic world today, even if they mobilized all the people to burst into this village, it would only disappear silently like a water drop falling into the sea. "

"... I'm not worried about the safety here!"

Dumbledore glanced at the surrounding houses and streets, and sighed with a little tiredness.

In just such a short distance, he has seen at least five wizards serving as dark whistle, and more importantly, in addition to this, every few houses can see two or three fairies in every corner of the street corner. "Chat".

This scene appears on a goblin who values ​​time and money. It is as funny as a monster writing poems.

"Elena, Mr. Lovegood is only a magazine company. You have spent a lot of manpower and resources to create a fortress-like wizarding settlement. Some of them are too trivial ..."

"No, on the contrary, this is just a prototype, and it will be more than ten times larger in the future."

Elena stopped slowly, turned her head to look at the old wizard behind her, and answered quietly.

"You know, any wizard who has some basic mathematics can estimate how much money Mr. Lovegood will earn from these publications, and the scale of the daily working capital of" New Singing Contrary ". Moreover, this There are also the Weasley family nearby. The temptation of money, plus your reputation, they are likely to be stared at in secret. "

"Therefore, to provide basic security for the Lovegood family and the Weasley family, I think it is very necessary-at this point, you have already done a very wrong demonstration for me. I believe in the reliability of the wolf pack effect and the power of the collective more than the zero-down, self-defeating way of hiding and hiding and protecting itself. "

"On the other hand, the magic world really needs to establish a complete social system. This social system cannot be relied solely on the illusory system and the innovation of Jin Jialong. All in the end, a reliable material-carrying entity is needed."

"In addition ..."

Elena paused slightly, looking at Dumbledore with a smile.

"In this way, isn't it also convenient for you to control the overall situation? If I let all the destiny employees and newspaper employees become zero and hide in all corners of the magic world and the non-magic world, don't you feel a little worried in your heart? ... "

"What are you worried about? In the future, these wizards cannot find a suitable place to live?"

Dumbledore glanced at Elena slightly, and raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

Elena looked around the street and nodded her head seriously and answered softly.

"It's not impossible. It's not as easy to buy a property now as it was a few decades ago. The identity information alone is enough for the Ministry of Magic and the wizards ... "

Since the enforcement of the International Confidentiality Law has become more stringent, and the rapid development of the non-magical world after World War II, even with the magical space magic aids, the range of residences that the wizards can choose is not as wide as before.

Except for a few wizarding families who live alone in deserted corners, more wizards often choose the semi-sorcerer settlements registered with the Ministry of Magic (this refers to the wizarding villages in Muggle villages after the International Secrecy Act came into effect) Inhabited, similar to Godric Valley), or under the supervision of the magic world, directly hidden in the Muggle city.

However, Elena knew that such a situation might not last long.

With the advent of the era of information technology and big data, real estate accounting will become more and more complicated, and the wizard will become extremely difficult to hide its whereabouts in the non-magical world-a social relationship like a spider web , Will slowly bind the survival and struggle space of the wizards.

Whether it is Hogwarts-centered academy city or the preparation of the province of Quebec, it is actually to ease the outbreak of these contradictions from another aspect, delay the arrival of the final day as much as possible, and fight for her Enough time.

It's just that all these things are still too far away for Dumbledore, who was confined to this era.

Perhaps only after that day, the wizards looked back at her preparations now, only to understand that there are no coincidences and luck in this world. Some are only precautionary plans and inevitable trajectories.

During the talk, the two passed through layers of magical protection and came to the door of the newly renovated Lovegood house.

Luna Lovegood had long been accompanied by her father, holding a large suitcase and standing on the lawn outside the garden fence, waiting for Dumbledore and Elena to come over and pick her up-as agreed, They are going to Newt's house.

"Everything is starting to get interesting, isn't it? Professor Dumbledore."

Elena glanced at the few willows planted next to Lovegood's house, and the magical knot vines that had been used for magic, and at the first glance, under the blessing of the continued illusion spell, it appeared looming. Fairy Outpost.

Undoubtedly, after being nurtured by her continuous theory of crisis, Xenophilius Lovegood is no longer the former only promised, indecisive and simple dreamer-in order to protect his daughter, he has changed a lot.

…………

at the same time.

The outskirts of Hogsmeade Village, the junction between Hogwarts Castle and the village.

"Albus Dumbledore" led the house elves and led the experts and scholars from various institutes of the former Soviet Union to this huge area planned as "Hogwarts external faculty living area" site.

"Mr. Dumbledore, all the houses have been built, and the daily circulation facilities can also be used."

The house-elf, who was in charge of repairing this living area, bent over and screamed with respect.

"Very good." Dumbledore nodded slightly and turned to look at the former Soviet scholars around him, "You, this area will be your work and living place for a long time in the future, and you are the first The job is ... "

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, paused a little, looked around the surrounding environment, and proficiently issued instructions.

"First of all, complete the magnetic field survey, physical constant measurement in the Hogwarts area as soon as possible, master the English speaking and writing methods in Scotland, and ... sum up a set of general knowledge for children aged 11 to 18 years, The content of this piece, I hope to include literature, mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry ... "

"Do n’t worry, although the Hogwarts students are relatively young, they are also real wizards. With the help of magic, their physical strength and energy can easily break through the hardest in the non-magical world. The limit of Muggles. "
