When Albert kissed his wife goodbye and returned to Hogwarts, the morning sun had already appeared on the horizon of everyone's vision. However, the light of dawn was still unable to dispel the cloud of war hanging over Hogwarts.
In front of the castle's oak gate, traces of the wizarding battle remained everywhere, and Professor Flitwick, who looked exhausted, was directing everyone to help clean up the messy battlefield.
"Mr. Anderson!"
The Creevey brothers, who were using the levitating spell to transport the body of the dark wizard, dropped what they were doing after seeing Albert and happily ran forward to shake hands with Albert, just like enthusiastic fans who suddenly met their own fans.
Idol.
That's right, after killing Voldemort, Albert has now become the object of worship for countless wizards.
"I heard that Professor McGonagall has something to ask you." Colin Creevey said suddenly.
"Where are you going to move the body?" Albert couldn't stand the enthusiastic brothers, so he changed the topic.
"I heard that a mass grave will be dug outside the Forbidden Forest to bury all these dark wizards." Dennis Creevey responded quickly.
"There are too many corpses. If not dealt with in time, there may be big trouble. Professor Flitwick asked us to move the corpses to the corpse mountain outside first." Brothers Creevey brought Albert to the castle.
Outside, they threw the corpse of the dark wizard they transported on top of the large number of corpses of the war dead in the square.
The mountains of corpses were indeed quite scary. It is worth mentioning that most of these unlucky guys were tricked to death by Albert.
For example, a werewolf who tried to cross the viaduct, or a dark wizard who attacked the castle and was ambushed and eliminated. Their corpses were piled here randomly, which brought great psychological oppression to those who saw the pile of corpses.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to leave the dead with dignity, but that there are so many wounded on our side that we don't even have time to deal with the enemy's corpses, let alone give dignity to our former enemies.
As for the accumulation of the corpses of dark wizards here, it is also the intention of the International Federation of Wizards. They believe that so many corpses of dark wizards are a great deterrent to all those with evil intentions.
Yes, as Albert initially expected, the Aurors of the International Confederation of Wizards jumped out not long after the war ended to try to get a share of the victory.
This behavior of jumping out to pick peaches after the final victory undoubtedly made countless British wizards feel angry and hated. Fortunately, the people in charge of the International Federation of Wizards did not completely lose their minds. They chose to capture the fugitive dark wizards.
In exchange for his reputation, he provided relief supplies and various help after the war.
As for being late, there is nothing we can do about it.
Fighting abroad was an unfamiliar place, and the decisive battle broke out so suddenly that many people were caught off guard. It was not easy for them to gather manpower and arrive in a short period of time.
Such a sincere show off behavior will naturally not win the favor of British wizards. Fortunately, the group of people in the International Federation of Wizards did not care about the feelings of British wizards from the beginning. Their behavior is nothing more than to cleanse the association of Voldemort.
The shame brought by this incident also further enhanced the reputation of the International Confederation of Wizards. As for the executor of the entire plan, Babajide Akinbad, he also regained the title of President of the International Confederation of Wizards.
"I know what you are angry about, but Kingsley is right. The most important thing now is to rescue those injured by the war."
Albert met Hermione on the way to the auditorium. After he asked about the International Federation of Wizards, Hermione complained endlessly about the behavior of those guys picking peaches.
"Have you guessed it a long time ago?" Hermione stared directly at Albert, trying to figure out what was going on in his head.
"This is a war for British wizards. You can't expect wizards from other countries to be willing to risk their lives to join this war." Albert looked at Harry who was with everyone, and suddenly turned his head and asked Hermione
: "Has Harry ever gone back?"
"What?" Hermione looked stunned.
"It seems not. He is indeed a qualified savior, but he is not a qualified husband." Albert sighed softly and said to Hermione: "Go back for Harry and tell the news that he is still alive.
Ginny? After all, waiting is always the most painful."
"So, you were actually going home when you disappeared earlier?"
Hermione seemed to finally realize something, and suddenly turned her head to look at Albert. When he saw the other man nodded, his expression was particularly complicated.
"Since the end of the war, Harry has been staying in the hall to calm everyone's emotions."
Hermione looked back at the auditorium and lowered her voice and said: "It might be more appropriate for you to do this, but you were not here before, so someone has to do it. At least nearly a hundred of our comrades died in this damn war.
middle."
Well, it was much less than Albert expected, probably due to the miraculous effect of the Fuling Elixir.
Although in the "Harry Potter" novels, only more than fifty colleagues were killed after the final decisive battle with the opponent, this upgraded wizard war is undoubtedly more tragic, especially for those who failed to take the Felixir.
Auror, it was a heavy loss.
However, several key figures who had a good relationship with Albert were not as desperate as in the original work, which is finally a gratifying thing.
As for the dead?
There is no such thing as death in war.
It’s not that Albert is cold-blooded, it’s that as long as he doesn’t know each other, to Albert, they are just a series of sad numbers on the battle-damaged parchment.
"By the way, remember to give Harry the vitality tonic for me before you leave."
After Albert took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and handed it to Hermione, he waved his wand to summon Dobby and asked the house elf to take Hermione back to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.
"Why don't you go by yourself?" Hermione asked doubtfully.
"I don't want to be trapped in it." Albert shook his head and said: "But there must always be someone to talk to everyone, hold their hands, witness their tears, accept their thanks, and listen to their voices. No one can do it better.
Lee is more suitable. He is the savior in everyone's eyes, their leader and symbol, their savior and guide, and an indispensable part of the hall."
"You can always find countless excuses."
Hermione reached out to take the vitality tonic, and when she was about to go to find Harry, she suddenly turned around and asked, "You must have remembered that you promised to help me find my family."
"Of course I haven't forgotten. When do you plan to leave?" Albert was a little surprised that Hermione would mention this matter at this time, but he still nodded and said that he would not break his promise easily.
"Just these few days."
Hermione planned to wait until the situation in the British wizarding world stabilized before leaving for Australia to find her family.
"No problem, I hope you can notify me one or two days in advance."
Harry could understand Hermione's mood very well, because he also informed his family of the good news as soon as possible.
"Thank you!"
Hermione stepped forward and gave Albert a grateful hug, then took the bottle of vitality tonic and went to the Great Hall to find Harry.
Just after Hermione left, Zannah appeared out of nowhere and said in a slightly teasing tone: "You have been married for a long time, but you are still so popular with the girls!"
"How is the situation here?" Albert ignored Shanna's teasing and changed the subject.
"Thanks to the crisis plan you left behind, everyone was not in a hurry." Shanna made a gesture to follow Albert and said as she walked: "However, your crisis plan was too simple.
So much so that Professor McGonagall is now looking for you everywhere and plans to study the crisis plan with you."
Shanna also knew what Albert wanted to hear and continued to share the latest news.
"After Voldemort's death, it is said that people across the country who have been cast by the Imperius Curse are gradually returning to normal, but..."
"The whole country? I really like to exaggerate!" Albert couldn't help complaining: "How many people can Voldemort's Imperius Curse control? Ten, twenty, how can it become the whole country?"
Faced with Albert's complaints, Shanna didn't care and continued what she just said: "However, most of the previous group of dark wizards ran away, and there were too few members who went after them, so they couldn't be retained.
Come down."
Albert wasn't very surprised by this. It would be damning if there were major gains.
After all, the mountain of corpses outside is 90% related to Albert. If Albert hadn't been tricked by the location of Hogwarts, how could he have died here so easily?
"Kingsley Shacklebolt, as you expected, has become the interim minister of the Ministry of Magic." Shanna glanced sideways at Albert, and after realizing that the expression on his face was still extremely calm, she continued: "Listen
It is said that there are still people in the Ministry of Magic who are dissatisfied with him, and I also heard that the International Federation of Wizards also supports Kingsley."
"This is normal, isn't it?" Albert chuckled.
"Normal?"
I don't think anyone would think it's normal.
"Unless they plan to kill Kingsley secretly, no despicable political means can prevent him from becoming the new minister." Albert said contemptuously: "As long as a smart person knows to make the most correct choice,
Because they don’t have a choice whether they want to or not.”
"If you are willing, when Kingsley Shacklebolt steps down, you can definitely take over his position and become the youngest minister in history." Of course Shanna also knew that Albert was not interested in politics, but she still couldn't help it.
Make some jokes.
To be honest, Hogwarts Castle today is really too depressing.
The deep sadness on everyone's faces expressed their condolences for the victims of this war.
"I'm not used to having trouble with myself, so why bother myself like that and make myself miserable like a fool?" Albert has no interest in becoming a minister, especially after completely defeating Voldemort.
