Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 226 Demonstration of Value

The discussion in the tent was still very heated. At least some people in the Ministry of Magic represented by Fudge, or those who represented the interests of conservative pure-blood families, were not particularly concerned.

Even though the dwarf master craftsman had predicted the worst possible outcome, some people still said, "Really? I don't believe it!"

This feels familiar, doesn’t it?
But finally Dumbledore spoke, "Before I came here, I met some old friends, including Cassandra..."

Everyone fell silent. On the one hand, they respected Dumbledore's status, and on the other hand, the Cassandra he was talking about was Cassandra Vabrsky, the author of "Seeing the Future Through the Mist".

A witch from Eastern Europe, now about a hundred years old, she is probably one of the few witches who have the ability to predict the future in the past fifty or sixty years. She is not a liar.

So, Dumbledore went to see a fortune teller? What did she say?
"She said... a disaster loomed over the whole of England. It was like dancing on eggs. If you weren't careful, you'd be doomed."

...In the end, Dumbledore convinced Fudge and the Ministry of Magic officials he represented. In fact, if Dumbledore insisted on believing in the judgment of the dwarves and gnomes, Fudge would inevitably compromise in the end.

Because he can't afford to gamble.

Although the situation on the Muggle side is also very urgent, if something really happens here, no matter how big or small the matter is, I will definitely have to take responsibility in the end.

If Dumbledore didn't believe it, then he would naturally take the blame. But if he chose to believe it and didn't believe it himself, then he would have to take the blame.

All I can say is that political creatures have too many things to consider.

……

Because the situation was urgent, we organized people and started the action that night.

After Dumbledore had another conversation with Ted and tried the potion he provided, he wrote a letter to ask Snape to come as well.

Dumbledore: "This is the fire resistance potion and frost protection potion developed by Ted. The effect is very good. Severus, I need you to make a lot of it. We need this now!"

When Snape heard the unlucky formula of creating his "stupid student", his face turned gloomy.

However, he also knew that Dumbledore had written a letter specifically to invite him here, and his attitude in the letter was very humble, so this matter was not ordinary, so he could only ask with a sour face: "How much do you want? And the supply of materials must be guaranteed!"

"Of course. Probably... at least fifty bottles! The more the better! You can discuss the specific details with Ted."

When Snape heard the number of fifty bottles, he muttered, "Fifty bottles of potion to take a bath? I knew it was unreliable! Damn unlucky formula! Worse than dragon dung..."

Ted was very respectful to his teacher. He listened to him scolding for a long time, vented his anger, and then came forward and said, "Professor, let me tell you the difficulty of these two potions. The former is a modified and enhanced version of the potion for treating burns. I added fire flowers and salamander scales..."

"As for the frost body potion, since it involves the new spell I developed, I can only ask you to make the base liquid and give it to me. Jerry and I will cast the spell on it..."

In fact, after some consideration, Ted requested to bring Hermione, Neville and the others over, using the reason that "potions require spells, and only his friends know the unique spells."

After all, this is a big event, so why not let the friends see the world? After all, they are just responsible for logistics, so it is very safe.

Dumbledore was reluctant at first, and had to let Ted join the battle. Considering his strength and mature mind, it was nothing, but dragging other third-year students into it was really not something a headmaster should do.

But Ted advised: "Professor, I can understand your idea of ​​protecting students, but young wizards cannot grow without experiencing things. This time they are only providing help in the rear, which is a rare opportunity. Moreover, this is a big event that affects the entire British Isles. I think they have an obligation to do so!"

Sirius on the side also spoke well of his adopted daughter: "When we were..."

It would have been better if he didn't say it. Dumbledore felt a headache when he said it, fearing that calling these children would cause more trouble, but he finally agreed.

Because he was moved by what Ted said, "The little wizard cannot grow up without experiencing things."

The Boy Who Lived and his friends indeed needed training far beyond that of ordinary young wizards.

That night, the friends were picked up one by one.

They had just been Apparated by the members of the Ministry of Magic, and hadn't adjusted to the dizziness yet, when they heard Fudge's halting speech... He had been speaking for ten minutes, and the general content was: As the Ministry of Magic, we must... and... and...

……

After a night of busy work and preparing all the equipment, the wizard is probably ready.

The reason why it is just an approximation is that they really have no experience in organizing such a big event, and they are in a mess and at a loss. It is a complete mess!
Every wizard was very tired at this midnight, but it was hard to say how much they had accomplished.

But Ted did his best.

The preparation of the fire resistance potion and the frost protection potion had already kept him busy for half the night, even with Snape's command of six or seven potion masters to help.

Later, a magic array tactic of "nibbling away at the enemy step by step and advancing with ice and frost" was proposed.

During this period, the wizards and dwarves were naturally not idle. They sent out several teams to try to sneak into the land of fire and test the enemy's strength and the impact of the environment.

All I can say is that the enemy is quite strong, especially in that environment.

The air temperature in the land of fire reached nearly 50 degrees, just like taking a bath in the hottest pool. The skin exposed to the outside would turn red after more than ten seconds. Even those with weak constitutions would feel difficulty breathing.

The leather boots on my feet started to become soft in that place after a few minutes, and started to stick to the ground after a few more minutes!

This scorching environment will cause the wizards to lose one-third of their combat power!
Not to mention, although the overall strength of those fire elemental creatures is not very high, their lethality is definitely not to be underestimated.

There is both fire and magma!
Not to mention anything else, many fire elemental monsters would self-explode when they died, and there were six wizards in the advance reconnaissance team who were burned by the red-hot gravel.

It was Ted who temporarily used the essence of diffusa mixed with frost oil to stabilize the injuries. Then the wizards remembered that they had to go to St. Mungo's Hospital to ask for medical staff and be ready to treat the wounded at any time.

Ted’s expression at that time—it was simply torture!
It’s just like playing League of Legends, where the opponent is average, but your teammates are four idiots!
Going to jail!

Fudge was busy running around, talking to this person, giving tasks to that person, sweating profusely. He seemed to be very competent, but the result was that the more he gave orders, the more chaotic the situation became.

Finally Dumbledore couldn't stand it anymore and sent him away.

Fudge didn't think that as the Minister of Magic he would cause any trouble, so he was very unhappy when he was sent away.

Ted really wanted to rush up and give him two big slaps - why don't you take a piss and look at yourself! Look at your ass! Are you playing Kaishen Logistics micromanagement here? ! 500,000 vs 300,000, I have the advantage? I beep, beep, beep...

……

"Ted, it's up to you!" Sirius said to Ted with two teams of ten wizards below the sinkhole.

"Ok!"

Faced with the large amount of magical materials shipped overnight by the Ministry of Magic, Ted couldn't help but get excited.

His idea of ​​"nibbling away at the enemy step by step and advancing with ice and frost" is to use the power of the alchemy array to control the high temperature environment.

Looking at the fairy magic silver piled up in front of him that was more than a person's height, and then looking at the other piles of materials - he had never fought such a rich battle!
The fairy magic silver on the ground slowly melted in the alchemical array constructed by Ted, and then began to flow along the established array markings, and the magic runes began to flash.

About ten minutes later, Ted pretended to drink a few sips of magic potion, looking weak: "It's ready! You guys rush in later, remember to put down the materials according to the marks at any time, and also resist those monsters. After the magic circle is laid out, the temperature will be reduced a lot, so we can fight in that place..."

Sirius didn't say anything, just nodded, and then led the vanguard team into the land of fire. They wanted to create a foothold for the follow-up troops.

The remaining wizards in the cemetery looked at Ted and were amazed: potions, magic circles, and runes, has Hogwarts become like this now? I graduated from the seventh grade and don't know these things?

Behind them, Hermione, Harry and the others had already started to get busy. Ted was presiding over the magic circle, and they were responsible for assisting him.
