I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 185 Dumbledore: Did I come at the wrong time?

The white-robed wizard standing in front of everyone was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking the monstrous waves.

However, the careful temporary Auror Office Director Nicholas Picqueli still discovered that the outer layer of the tsunami that was frozen by magic had faint signs of fragmentation.

The white-robed wizard, Dumbledore, the chief mage of the Wizengamot, also noticed that the torrent of magic power output from the tip of his staff became stronger. The surging magic power caused the hem of his robe to fly in the air, like a bird. The eagle breaks free.

His eyes condensed behind his half-moon glasses, and he stretched out the middle and index fingers of his free left hand and placed them on his Adam’s apple. His loud voice covered all other sounds and rang in everyone’s ears:”Aim at the tsunami and use fire spell”

“Use flame!”Piquery immediately followed and shouted.

Rows of magical flames spurted out from in front of each wizard’s wand. For a moment, the flames burned blazingly, intertwined with the frozen tsunami, forming a spectacular picture.

More and more The more wizards arrived, seeing that the defense line built with flames became more and more stable due to their efforts, Dumbledore waved his right hand to withdraw the magic power that maintained the freezing spell, and a golden-red flame slowly spread from the tip of his wand. Slowly overflowing, adding more strength to the defense line.

Without the blocking of the freezing spell, the tsunami regained its devastating power and continued to rush towards New York City without any pause.

Under the command of Dumbledore, the wizard They maintained the fire spell and built a strong wall of fire to block the path of the tsunami.

The seawater steamed up in the high temperature, and the entire New York seemed to be enveloped in a circular white curtain wall.

The white smoke even affected the wizards’ vision, allowing them to see They don’t know what the current situation is.

But every time they see Dumbledore’s tall figure in the firelight, they feel an incomparable sense of security, which makes their hands holding the wand even firmer.

……

When Ives woke up, his face was facing the sun outside the window.

The weather outside is very nice, the sun is shining brightly, and although it is still winter, under the influence of magic, the temperature inside is just right.

The sun is just a bit dazzling.

He narrowed his eyes and moved his neck, trying to straighten his head. But just such a small movement made every organ in his body protest.

“Hiss~” Elvis couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air.

At this time, a brown ball of fur next to the bed suddenly moved, and then he noticed that there was someone next to him.

Hermione sat up in a daze. Straight up, the bright sunshine outside the window hit her fair cheeks. Ives had never thought she was so beautiful, and was stunned for a moment.

Hermione opened her mouth and let out a cute yawn, and for the first time after regaining consciousness, At one glance, she saw Avis staring at her

“Avis, you finally woke up.”Regardless of being shy, she exclaimed in surprise, and then asked with concern in a rapid tone:”How do you feel? Is there any pain on your body? Are you injured?……”

The concern on Hermione’s face was clear. She blinked and looked at Ives, as if observing his expression. She was afraid that she would hurt him, so even though she was happy that Avis was awake, she did not touch him rashly, but just sat obediently by the bed.

Ivis endured the pain and sat up from the bed with his arms propped up. Hermione quickly took a pillow and stuffed it behind his back so that he could lean on it more comfortably.

“Thanks.”Ives thanked him in a low voice.

“I’ve been sleeping for a few days. What’s the situation in New York now?……”He didn’t answer Hermione’s question just now, but asked his own question. Finally, he added,”Also, why are you here?”

He had just looked around, and judging from the familiar decoration in the room, he should be in Joshua Hospital now, so the question came:

Why did Hermione appear in the United States?

“The tsunami has receded, and Congress is organizing rebuilding efforts. You were unconscious for a whole day, and Professor Dumbledore found you on the remaining half of the Statue of Liberty.……”The further she went on, the more choked up Hermione’s voice became. She held back tears, not wanting Avis to see her vulnerable side.

“As for why I’m here……”Hermione took a deep breath to adjust her mood,”Professor Dumbledore brought me here. He said you need someone to take care of you, so I came.”

Ivis listened quietly, with warmth surging in his heart. He didn’t expect that Hermione would come to the United States just for him. He was deeply moved by this friendship.

“Hermione, thank you.”He said sincerely, with gratitude shining in his eyes.

Hermione shook her head slightly, showing a warm smile,”Don’t say that, Ivis. We are friends and this is what I should do.”

Then, Hermione slowly explained the end of the whole thing in detail. As she spoke, without any time in her hands, she picked a red apple from the fruit basket on the bedside table and started peeling it. Weiss leaned on the bedside and listened quietly to the girl’s clear voice, while watching her peeling the apple.

Memories gradually came to his mind.

He still remembered that he and Professor Flitwick left the ninth floor of the Parliament when the three of them left. Finally, he tried to contact the two Obscurans who were about to explode. But the rioting magic power of the Obscurans made it almost impossible for him to get close, so he tried several methods. Fortunately, the magic shield could help him block the wave. Magic power rioted, but the consumption of the magic shield was a bit high, and he had even less magic power left.

After silently sensing the magic power in his body, Avis was sure that even with the help of [Elementary Spiritual Mastery], he could not Unable to transfer outside New York Harbor.

He gritted his teeth and turned around to transform into a slightly smaller phoenix.

Ives tested it privately. In the form of [Phoenix Incarnation], this special talent brought him The consumption of the coming special spells will be further reduced.

So, after using spiritual mastery, he grabbed two groups of obscuras whose red light flashed more and more rapidly and appeared towards the northeast.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he succeeded in getting them all He was thrown into the sea water.

But after that, there was only the last trace of magic left in his body, which only allowed him to manifest himself on the ground closest to him.

Returning to reality, Hermione’s narration made him Gradually understand the follow-up.

Under Dumbledore’s decision, the International United Wizards Association skipped a lot of complicated formalities and procedures and directly decided to send people to New York for support.

As the chief wizard, Dumbledore chose to take the lead without hesitation.

Under his command, the wizards successfully intercepted the tsunami outside New York City. The damage was very small. The only serious

thing that can be said is the collapse of the Statue of Liberty.

But this is not a big deal. In the role of the repair spell

Under the influence of the propaganda of the Muggle president and the venom of the Curling Wing Demon, the earlier Obscurus was just a memory in the memory of the Muggles. A terrorist attack, and the destruction of New York Harbor was entirely due to a natural disaster.

A highly threatening magical exposure event came to an end.

After saying that, Hermione happened to peel the apple.

Maybe it was because she often handled it Because of the potion ingredients, she was very good at peeling the apples and peeled off the whole apple skin without breaking it into pieces.

She carefully put down the fruit knife and sent the peeled apples to Ives. around the mouth

“Open your mouth.”She said softly.

Ives took a bite. For some reason, he always felt that the apple in his mouth was much sweeter than what he had eaten before.

In this way, one of them opened his mouth to eat, and the other gently delivered it. The entire apple was quickly wiped out.

Just when Hermione was about to ask him if he wanted another one, the door to the room was gently pushed open.

The visitor carefully poked his head out and saw that Elvis had woken up. There was joy on his face.

Immediately afterwards, a dignified official walked in. The Aurors behind him immediately closed the door after he walked in.

Ives had a close relationship with this dignified, gray-haired congressional official. By chance, he was the Chairman of Congress, Gorkan O’Brien.

O’Brien stood beside Ives’ bed with a gentle smile on his face. Hermione was about to turn around and leave when she saw this, but was caught by him. Stopped

“Miss Granger, you can stay here, it’s okay, I’ll just say a few words and leave.”He said politely.

Hermione had to sit back down obediently.

“Mr. Evans,” he turned to look at Ives, who was leaning on the head of the bed, with admiration in his eyes.”Your brave actions saved New York and Congress.……”

O’Brien’s tone was very exciting, as if he was praising the great hero Hercules who bravely passed through the twelve trials.

Elvis and Hermione listened quietly, convinced that Mr. Chairman was not here just to talk about this.

Seeing that the expressions on their faces remained unchanged, his tone gradually calmed down, and then he dropped a bombshell:”……I have proposed to the Order of Merlin that you be awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class. Of course, I cannot decide whether Sir Merlin honors you or not. But Congress has unanimously agreed to award you the Medal of Freedom, the highest honor it can bestow.”

“I also learned from Picquery that you have taught yourself the Apparition spell, and Congress has specially approved a Disapparation certificate for you, so that you can use Apparition in other places without any scruples.”

The three conditions he proposed are all very tempting.

The Order of Merlin, First Class, will not be mentioned.

The Medal of Freedom is the highest level of honor awarded to citizens by the Magical Congress of the United States. It is not awarded every year like the Order of Merlin, but only Only someone who has made a significant contribution to the American wizarding world will be rewarded to that wizard.

And the last, seemingly unimportant, Apparition spell turns out to be the most practical.

The Apparition spell is only available to young wizards. They will not be exposed to it until they are seventeen years old. At that time, major magic schools will send special personnel to teach them.

Wizards are only allowed to use it after obtaining a certificate of Apparition. This certificate is issued by the International United Wizards Association , has legal effect in the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

It can be said that the three conditions thrown out by O’Brien are very attractive, especially the last one. As long as Congress is willing to issue a certificate, Ives’s Phantom Fire is not required Hiding it again.

As soon as he thought about it, he grinned and thanked:”Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

Seeing Ives’s polite attitude, O’Brien felt relieved, and he continued:”Mr. Evans, there is one more thing we want you to keep secret.”

Although Ives had already guessed what he was going to say, he still showed a puzzled expression and asked:”What is it? I will keep it secret for Congress”

“We would like to ask you not to tell anyone that the Obscurus who attacked the Congress was Graves.”O’Brien hurriedly defended,”It’s not that Congress doesn’t want to reveal the truth, it’s just that Graves involves too many people and things. We will announce it when the time is right.”

“good.”

The brief response caught O’Brien off guard. He also prepared a lot of excuses to persuade Ives to keep them secret.

But it would be best if Ives agreed readily. He smiled and said warmly:”Ivan Mr. Si, I won’t disturb you anymore. You can recover well. Before leaving , he mentioned again:”By the way, all your expenses in the United States will be paid by our Congress. I hope you can spend a happy Christmas holiday here.””

After seeing off the Chairman of Congress, Hermione, who was waiting quietly aside, couldn’t help but ask:”Why did Congress hide the news that Graves is actually a Purifier?”

“What else could it be for?” Ives shrugged.”The director of the Auror Office is actually a Purifier. As long as this kind of news spreads, the American wizarding world will definitely be in chaos for a while. Whether it is for the stability of the wizarding world or for their own votes, this news is destined not to be spread.”

“Do you believe it, even if I publicize this matter everywhere, it will only be promoted as a rumor by the media.”He said the cruel facts casually,”Anyway, the conditions given by the Congress are very tempting, so it’s nothing to help them hide the news.”

Hermione was startled. She had been living in an ivory tower, and this was the first time she had thought about these complex issues.

She couldn’t help but think back to the first grade, when she whimsically proposed to liberate the house elves, Ivis and her Those words.

Maybe, this is the right thing to do. Hermione thought blankly

“There’s no need to think about this,” Ives said. He put on a coquettish tone and said:”Hermione, please peel another apple, I’m hungry~”

Hermione came back to her senses and was His coquettish tone was shaken, and he lowered his head and muttered:”Okay.”

Then he quickly took an apple from the bedside table and peeled it.

The room became quiet again, and just when Hermione was about to bring the second apple to Ives’ mouth, the door was knocked again.

Ives was a little confused. He shouted in dissatisfaction:”Please come in!””

The door was pushed open, and an old wizard with white hair and white beard walked in. It was Dumbledore.

He stroked his long beard with a smile on his face,”Did I come at the wrong time?”

“No.”

Hermione’s hands froze for a moment, and her earlobes turned red.

……

Two in one, four thousand words

After working on it for more than ten days, I finally finished it.
