Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 807 Creating the Future

"In the late 60s, Muggle civilization began its second industrial revolution, and in the past century, it has made great progress in various fields."

"Trains, airplanes, ferries... Muggles have woven a giant net of steel that has enveloped the entire world. The footprints of Muggle adventurers have spread to every corner of this planet. Over the past few decades, the traces of wizards and magical creatures have been revealed many times. The efforts and costs made by the International Wizarding Federation and various wizarding governments in order to uphold the Law of Secrecy are immeasurable."

"The Secrecy Act is based on considerations of maintaining peace and is a strategic law reached by the magical community."

"With billions of Muggles around the world and the most convenient channels for information transmission, they can talk to their companions across the ocean in minutes and transmit photos and recorded sounds to tens of thousands of people, or even strangers thousands of miles away, making it increasingly difficult to hide magic."

"Seventy years ago, Grindelwald and the Magical Congress of the United States waged war in New York, exposing magical creatures and wizards to the Muggles of the city. At that time, the unrest was quelled and the traces of magic were concealed with just the venom of the Winged Demon. Wizards all over the world praised Mr. Newt Scamander's wisdom, believing that Muggles were just ordinary humans who had been fooled by us."

"But with the advancement of technology, things are completely different now."

"Just last week, during a preparatory meeting of the British Ministry of Magic, a Muggle accidentally stumbled upon several witches in the Leaky Cauldron. That very night, text and images were posted on a website, and within just three or four hours, 4,700 people had viewed the site. We cannot cast a forgetting spell on every viewer, and directly modifying the website would leave log information. All measures would leave indelible traces. After consulting with Muggle experts, we could only add, delete, and modify the information on the website, disguising it as an urban legend."

Even so, it still had an impact on Muggles. Many unfamiliar faces were wandering around the streets where the Leaky Cauldron was located, and we had to increase our vigilance until the impact gradually subsided. This situation lasted for about half a month...

"The same thing is happening at Woolworth Building in the United States, the wizarding community in Bavaria, Germany, and the French government intelligence agency has even sent special agents to investigate the whereabouts of wizards. As Muggles' information channels become more and more sophisticated and their communication speed becomes faster and faster, magic will sooner or later be exposed to the spying eyes of technology. We must prepare in advance..."

In addition to explaining the gradual implementation of confidentiality laws, Ms. Burns also directly presented a lot of video materials to educate the delegates and observers about Muggle technology. She even showed physical telephones and fax machines, demonstrating how speaking and writing on one side allows the other side to hear the voice and see the same handwriting, and how a fax machine spits out paper.

The exhibition was organized by the Office for the Prohibition of Muggle Items, and a red-haired supervisor was all smiles.

Some wizarding governments in other countries are relatively closed off and lack contact with Muggle society. They originally thought that the secrecy law was like a high wall that would keep Muggles in the dark forever. But upon closer inspection, it turns out that the wall is actually a glass wall, and its structure is loose and its foundation is unstable. It is already on the verge of collapse.

If any unexpected event occurs, it can spread throughout the world in just a few minutes, before the Oblivion Curse can even be cast.

After the presentation, Ms. Burns paused briefly, waiting for the wizards in the hall to digest the information, before continuing her speech after about ten minutes.

"Dumbledore recently visited all the intelligent beings around the world, especially the mermaids and centaurs, the two most widespread and numerous groups. The mermaids are in very bad condition. The tribes living in warm freshwater areas are still able to reproduce normally, while the mermaids in the ocean are busy migrating in search of safe habitats."

"The Muggle government began experimenting with forbidden weapons sixty years ago. Over the past half-century, many countries have made great progress in forbidden weapons and have begun to apply this principle to energy. I don't know if the Muggles can master this energy, but because of their mistakes and oversights, more and more newborn mermaids are becoming deformed. Their prophets believe this is a sign of extinction."

"The centaur tribe often hides in the primeval forest, and they know how to use astrology to predict good and bad fortune, thus avoiding disasters. Nevertheless, the footsteps of Muggle explorers have already appeared near their tribe, and it's only a matter of time before their identities are exposed..."

Some of the delegates and magical creatures nodded in agreement, believing that these things were very likely to happen, and that the current magical civilization could no longer forcibly erase all traces and tamper with the memories of Muggles as it had in the past.

"Other intelligent magical beings face similar problems to varying degrees. Muggles are already knocking on the door of the magical castle, and conflict and disputes are inevitable. We are here to offer a solution—the migration of magical civilizations."

Ms. Burns turned to look at the head table, then at the young wizard sitting next to Dumbledore:

"Before explaining the entire plan, please allow me to introduce you here: Mr. Loren Morgan, the youngest senator of Wizengamor, the youngest knight of the Order of Merlin, the successor of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, deeply involved in the improvement and promotion of Wolfsbane Potion, who last summer defeated Voldemort head-on at New York Airport and sniped the Death Eaters!"

As those stories came from Ms. Burns's mouth, more and more eyes were drawn to Loren, scrutinizing him with either surprise or admiration, which eventually turned into a kind of respect.

"call……"

Loren slowly exhaled, stood up, and nodded to the wizards around him.

As his gaze moved from afar to near, he could see Hermione, Draco, Harry, and others sitting in the audience seats. Closer still were Headmaster McGonagall, Mad-Eye Moody, and Madam Maxim. Sitting next to him was Dumbledore, the old wizard's eyes slightly narrowed, his smile gentle.

His original idea was to remain behind the scenes, have Dumbledore propose the plan, using his reputation accumulated over nearly a century as a guarantee, and then have the Magical Congress of the United States and the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom support him, so that the entire magical community could implement the plan.

However, Dumbledore refused.

He kept saying he had already graduated and that adult wizards should face these things on their own, that this was a plan he had proposed and that he needed to explain and demonstrate it... It was as if he had returned to his early school days, where these difficulties were all part of his student training plan.

These thoughts flashed silently through Loren's mind. He didn't use his wand, nor did anyone seem to be chanting any spells. His clear voice echoed throughout the entire hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Loren Morgan extends his sincerest greetings."

"The foundation of the Magical Civilization Migration Project lies in a new type of spatial teleportation device. By exploring the mysteries of the soul and body, the underlying principles of Apparition have been unlocked, and this device has been combined with and improved upon the Floo Network..."

Dumbledore sat quietly to the side, his deep blue eyes behind crescent-shaped lenses, his gaze seemingly piercing through space to look into the unknown future.

Only the boy's clear voice echoed throughout the entire venue.

A new type of spatial teleportation, spanning the entire magical world, across the galaxy to the other side...

These words entered the ears of the delegates, as if a grand and magnificent scroll was slowly unfolding before their eyes. They had to concentrate fully to see even a corner of the scroll. Their minds were somewhat stiff, and they couldn't tell whether they were surprised or shocked. They couldn't even utter a sound of discussion or debate, and the huge hall seemed somewhat silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the migration plan requires the cooperation and assistance of all magical creatures in the magical world. A new era is dawning, and I hope that together we can create a better future."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Loren slowly sat down.

Ms. Burns immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin the vote."

"The representative of the British Ministry of Magic approves."

"Representative of the Magical Congress of the United States agrees."

"The representative of the French Ministry of Magic approves."

"The Egyptian Ministry of Magic's representative approves."

"..."

From the audience, reporter Rita Skeeter stared blankly at the young wizard with black hair and black eyes. Before him lay an open notebook, a quill pen flying across its pages, jotting down powerful words. A closer look revealed the handwriting was somewhat distorted, as if reflecting the wizard's inner turmoil.

Everyone present knew very well:

This moment will forever shine in the history of magic.
