Chapter 319 Change of Heaven

Like a stone being thrown into the calm water, the auditorium instantly became noisy.

There were many serious accidents that attacked Muggles. When Dumbledore said these words, even the most ignorant first-year student could instantly understand the seriousness.

I'm afraid, there is really going to be a big problem in the wizarding world.

Even though Dumbledore had been making silent gestures, the murmured discussions among the students had gathered into a noisy wave.

Many young wizards from Muggle families were obviously panicked, and some impatient students even stood up and asked Dumbledore where the accident occurred.

"Quiet, quiet -" Dumbledore called himself a loud bell, and the old man's rich voice finally suppressed the students of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore glanced at the crowd with a serious expression, and then said: "Currently, London and Bristol in the UK, Paris and Marseille in France, Berlin in Germany..."

The names of cities came out of Dumbledore's mouth one by one, and Sean's fingers were already clenched tightly.

All of them are the most densely populated cities in Europe, and Muggle attacks have occurred in almost every capital city.

The students were completely disrupted by the news. It was as if a bomb had been dropped into the auditorium. The explosion made everyone forget to speak and were left in shock.

Now, even students from wizarding families couldn't sit still...

"What's the situation?" Sean stood up at some point and his voice was particularly prominent.

Dumbledore just looked at him and said to everyone: "The situation is serious. Hundreds of innocent Muggles have lost their lives. All employees of the Ministry of Magic in various countries have been dispatched."

"Who is the attacker?" Sean continued to ask.

"The identity has not yet been determined. The Aurors are hunting down the attacker with all their strength." Dumbledore still didn't look at him.

"Is the wizarding world in danger of being exposed?"

"There is a certain danger, but the Ministry of Magic has assessed that the risk of exposure is still within control, and all employees of the Memory Cancellation Department have been dispatched."

"Then what to do with the escaped wizards from major prisons?"

"Handle them together, and the Ministry of Magic is doing its best."

The conversation in the auditorium suddenly became strange, and no other students or staff spoke. Only Sean stood up and kept asking relevant questions, and Dumbledore never looked at him, but was answering Sean's questions to everyone.

Between the strange questions and answers, the face of the matter was temporarily peeled away, and everyone frowned.

Just this morning, large-scale jailbreaks occurred simultaneously in Azkaban, Soul-Eating Tower, Alpine Prison and other magical places used to detain prisoners in various countries. The specific details are unknown, but at least there were some in Azkaban alone. Twenty ordinary prisoners and more than eight felons escaped.

In such a serious prison break situation, Auror offices from various countries were mobilized collectively. Inevitably, the garrison forces responsible for monitoring the security of Muggle cities were immediately depleted.

Under this situation, a group of unknown wizards launched terrorist attacks in major cities. They used magic spells to bomb several areas with a large flow of people in the city. After causing huge casualties, they rushed to the Aurors. Escape immediately before coming.

Under this sudden attack, the entire wizarding and Muggle worlds were thrown into chaos.

At the same time, the absconding criminals continued to carry out attacks at passing Muggle gathering places, which also caused great trouble to the pursuing Aurors.

The whole world changed in just a few hours.

Now, the ministers of magic of various countries have discussed with the governments of various countries how to deal with it, while blurring the truth of the matter and erasing the memories of witnesses at the disaster scene.

"In short, the current situation is very serious -" Dumbledore glanced at everyone seriously, "From now on, Hogwarts will strictly implement the regulations of the Ministry of Magic. All students are not allowed to leave Hogwarts. At the same time, because the wizarding world Due to risk of exposure, all Owl communications are temporarily disabled."

After saying this, Dumbledore left directly.

Many students from Muggle families flocked to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor, my home is in London, and I must confirm the safety of my parents..."

"Professor, my family is in Bristol. Oh my god, my parents just wrote to me yesterday to tell me that they were taking my brother to the city center for shopping..."

"Professor, professor!"

Professor McGonagall was immediately surrounded.

"Please don't worry. Hogwarts has sent professors, and we are contacting past students. They will assist the professors in checking the families of all students from Muggle families. We will notify you of any news as soon as possible. …”

However, this explanation did not work well in front of the anxious children, and the auditorium was already in chaos.

Sean pulled the pale Hermione and walked quickly out of the auditorium. On the way, he heard several Slytherins discussing how to contact their families to inquire about the situation.

Daisy trotted behind, and the three of them soon separated from the crowd and arrived at the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle.

"Sean..." Hermione came back to her senses. She bit her lip tightly with a look of helplessness on her face.

"Me, my parents, and your parents, they, they are all in London..."

Sean nodded with a livid face: "I know."

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the wizarding world, it seems necessary to isolate Hogwarts' communications. However, no one can calm down in the face of the difficulties that their family may encounter.

Sean tried to calm himself. His parents and his sister should be under the protection of people sent by Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Normally, such a sudden attack would not pose a life threat to his family. of.

However, Sean couldn't feel relieved without accurate information, not to mention Hermione. The Grangers were real ordinary people, and they didn't have wizards to protect them.

In a super city with a population of several million, hundreds of people died and hundreds of people were injured. This seemed to be an extremely small probability in the face of the huge numbers.

However, when things really happen, no one can guarantee whether they or their family members will become one of the bright red elements.

Sean had the urge more than once to go back and check the situation in person, but the rationality in his mind suppressed the irrational thoughts.

First of all, the probability of an accident is very small. Secondly, if an accident does happen, it will not help if he goes back now, but may cause more serious consequences.

Who knows whether the real target of this accident may be the world's most unstable bomb?

Under Hermione's helpless and Daisy's worried eyes, Sean took a few deep breaths.

"Wait, I'll be back soon." The wooden door of the Room of Requirement appeared in front of the three people.

Sean gave an order and then got directly into the disappearing cabinet.

The cabinet door was closed, and after counting silently in his mind, Sean opened the cabinet door.

Changed... Sean returned to Nurmengard through the Vanishing Cabinet for the first time since the superficial break between Grindelwald and Dumbledore in Paris.

The furnishings of the room where the vanishing cabinet was placed in Nurmengard have been completely changed. It is no longer the warm and classic attic. Things here are scattered all over the floor, and there are many signs of being smashed.

Only he and Grindelwald know here... Sean thought to himself.

But he didn't have time to care about it now. He quickly ran to the fireplace in the room and Sean took out the floo powder.

Hogwarts' floo network was all monitored by the Ministry of Magic and he could not use it. But Nurmengard was different. Grindelwald opened the castle's authority to himself.

Moreover, when building Nurmengard, Grindelwald also deliberately laid a floo network that was not monitored by any official agency and could be used across borders.

Green flames rose up, and Sean stepped directly into them.

…

London, east side of St. Paul's Cathedral, one square mile.

This small land brings together a large number of banks, stock exchanges, gold markets and other financial institutions. This is the famous City of London.

Above the building, the financial elites were busy working. However, many people were not thinking about work today. This group of people with well-informed information channels learned about the tragedy that happened in London this morning.

The government has issued an announcement stating that this was a very serious natural gas leak and explosion, but their gossip suggests that there seems to be something even weirder behind the incident.

In contrast, the group of new colleagues on the top floor of my building are not that weird - have you ever seen a financial company with a fireplace in the office?

In fact, this was Sean's idea. Mr. Wallop financed the renting of this floor, and the Wizarding Rights Protection Agency, headed by Lupine, began working with this mixed situation of wizards and Muggles.

Of course, the number of wizards is very small, and Lupine is usually responsible for handing over work to Muggles.

After Mr. Wallop's special training, Mr. Werewolf, who found a job, performed very well.

In the specially built small room, a green flame burst from the fireplace, and Sean walked out of it.

He dusted his shoulders and walked out of the room.

In the modern corridor, a man in a suit holding a stack of documents saw the young man coming out of the small room. He frowned and walked up: "Child, how did you get in?"

Sean didn't say anything and just threw a confusion spell at him: "Where is your leader?"

The man in the suit replied dazedly: "There were some strangely dressed customers here before, and the boss is meeting them in the private reception room..."

Sean went to the living room with ease, and just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself.

Lupine was standing in the doorway.

"Sean? How did you get here? Come in quickly."

Sean didn't have time to praise the other party's trigger warning magic. He quickly walked into the living room. When the door closed, he quickly asked: "Sir, I need you to help me protect my parents."

Lupine locked the door and turned back to look at him: "It was indeed for this. Oh my god, how did you get out of Hogwarts... But don't worry, I went to find your parents when I heard the news before. The accident happened in central London, far away from your parents and they are safe."

Sean breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the sofa and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Lupine poured him a glass of water: "You should know the place where the incident happened. It's just five hundred meters east of the Leaky Cauldron."

Sean frowned and took a sip from the water glass: "Where? Did the attacker come out of Diagon Alley?"

"Probably." Lupine nodded, "I went to inquire about the news as soon as it happened. As you know, we opened a charity store in Diagon Alley some time ago, and the store manager gave me the news. The bar owner saw it. A group of strange wizards in red and black robes came out of the fireplace, all wearing hoods, and they went out directly after drinking for a while in the Leaky Cauldron."

Lupine quickly told the news he had received: "According to Tom, there were five people on the other side. The leader's accent was a bit strange. He didn't sound like an Englishman. Not long after they went out, a huge sound came from the east. There was an explosion, you should know what happened next.”

He was not a local, launched an attack from near the Leaky Cauldron, and appeared in the bar openly... Sean silently wrote down a few key points, and then looked up at the other party.

Before he could speak, Lu Ping smiled: "I know your worries. In fact, just before you came, someone just left. There were three people in total, and they were all recruited from the list you gave me. In fact, I have also inspected them for a long time, and they are all trustworthy people - if nothing else, they should be near your home by now. If you need them, they can take your family away at any time, Godric's Hollow. Bian has already rented a house, and Lily will also welcome your family."

With this amazing efficiency and meticulous plan, Sean felt very happy. Hiring Lupine was one of his most correct choices.

"By the way, there's Mr. and Mrs. Granger...wait a minute, I'll call my parents." There was no electromagnetic interference from Hogwarts here, so Sean picked up the landline and dialed his home phone.

Lupine sat on the sofa, watching the young man in front of him gently and seriously telling his parents to pay attention to safety, and a smile appeared on his face.

After instructing his parents and asking someone to bring the Grangers to stay at his home for a while, Sean finally felt relieved.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lupin." Sean thanked sincerely.

Lu Ping smiled and said: "Your list is a big help. The people on it are all trustworthy. I don't need to spend a lot of effort to find people."

Sean shook his head: "It mainly depends on you."

That list came from Savannah Minsk, a member of the Golden Dawn. A member of this broker family got a list of all Nurmengard graduates and fervent admirers of Grindelwald. As long as they marked Sean as With the names of Grindelwald's direct disciples, they are much more trustworthy than ordinary wizards.

Lupine smiled and replied: "It's within my duties, and, as a werewolf, such a good employer certainly deserves my utmost sincerity."

"Mr. Lupine, please don't say that. I don't think you are a different group of people from us. You just have a chronic disease, just like my father. He has high blood pressure and has to take medicine on time." Sean spread his hands. , with a relaxed look on his face.

Lupine's eyes flashed twice, he lowered his head and chuckled twice, and then returned to his usual rigorous demeanor.

"So, what's next?"
