A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 767 The Turmoil in America

After many twists and turns, the 443rd Wizarding Union Conference was finally held successfully.

This conference was incredibly difficult to hold, with its venue being attacked twice, adding to its legendary status.

Because of this legendary status, the main theme of the conference was simple and clear:

How to deal with the many unstable factors in the magical world before the arrival of the new millennium.

The delegates to the Wizarding Conference were exceptionally cautious, given the rumors and prophecies circulating:

In 1999, a major event will occur that will affect all of humanity!

At first, everyone scoffed at it, but with more and more unexpected situations arising, they had no choice but to believe it.

The Paris nuclear crisis two years ago, the Venice White Dragon incident a year ago, the Quidditch World Cup Death Eater attack and kidnapping, the Kraken incident, Grindelwald's escape from prison...

In just a few short years, a crisis that was once unseen in the past century has occurred. Isn't that a sign of something?

The scariest thing is that, upon closer inspection, they were all related to Stark and Granger.

Without the two of them, I don't know how terrible this world would become!

William, a third-rate transmigrator who didn't even understand the plot, was also very confused.

In his previous life, how did wizards deal with these troubles?

Sigh, I guess I was born to be a savior here!

The meeting was held amidst this atmosphere of anxiety.

Representatives from the affected countries repeatedly exaggerated the severity of the incident, hoping to prioritize its handling and, incidentally... obtain substantial aid.

France, Italy, and Austria are all complaining about being poor.

However, their demands are not wrong.

Two Grindelwalds are of course of paramount importance;

The Kraken and the White Dragon should not be underestimated;

The Muggle core problem is even more urgent;

The rise of Death Eater terrorism and Voldemort's hegemony are also particularly worrying...

In summary:

Hegemony, terrorism, nuclear crisis, and the problem of humans and nature (magical creatures)... hinder the development of wizards.

Muggles exclaimed that he was an expert, after all, they were also deeply troubled by these crises.

Unsurprisingly, both the Egyptian and British representatives declared: "This is completely fabricated and utter nonsense!"

Egypt naturally disagreed, and Arya Grindelwald sought refuge with them;

Umbridge also insisted:

This is a rumor spread by one or two sorcerers with ulterior motives, intended to cause panic.

Egypt is understandable, since Arya hasn't shown her face yet.

However, the Death Eaters attacked the Quidditch World Cup last summer, and those three Dark Marks are still fresh in everyone's memory.

Umbridge dared to say in a coquettish voice that there were no Death Eaters at all?

Do you want face?

Well, Umbridge really has no shame.

She was injured and hasn't fully recovered yet; her whole body is wrapped in bandages, but she still insists on attending the meeting.

This is a true example of someone who is physically disabled but has a strong will.

She suffered such serious injuries, yet she remained silent about the cause.

However, when William and Hermione spoke on stage, recounting the events in Paris and Voldemort's resurrection, their eyes flashed with murderous hatred.

Apparently, Dumbledore returned to serve as interim president, causing her to drop the case against Hermione at the Wizarding Convention.

This is Dumbledore's territory, Hermione could easily say something like:

Who is standing here, accusing me, the official?

Although the representatives from Egypt and the United Kingdom did not acknowledge what was happening in their countries, it did not mean that the Wizarding Association was powerless.

This is, after all, the United Nations, which has real power. If they want to investigate you, isn't that a piece of cake?

Dumbledore waved his hand and announced that special investigators would be dispatched to both countries to conduct investigations.

The investigator was naturally a devoted fan of Dumbledore.

Even the investigators are mine, what can you do to fight me?

Besides these major issues that threaten global security, there are many other matters, both minor and major, in various countries that require arbitration by the Federation.

For example, the Loch Ness Monster, a recurring theme.

The Loch Ness Monster is the world's largest horse-shaped lake monster, and also the most mischievous.

The sea monster can transform into whatever it wants, and this particular sea monster likes to transform into a giant sea serpent to attract the attention of Muggles.

When Muggles approach, it transforms into an otter, and after they leave, it turns back into a sea snake.

The Misinformation Office works tirelessly to convince Muggles that all photographic evidence of the Loch Ness Monster is fake.

The water monster became even more rampant, causing trouble everywhere.

Many people who love the lake monster have written to apply to adopt it.

It's astonishing that William actually heard Hagrid's letter!

He learned that Hagrid wrote letters every year offering to give up Black Lake for the monster to live in.

Hagrid, have you considered the feelings of the mermaids and the students?

Besides the flamboyant lake monster, there's also the Yeti of the Himalayas.

Yetis are among the most secretive creatures in the magical world, with numerous Muggle sightings of them.

After discussion, Dumbledore announced:

A permanent base will be established there, and an international task force will be stationed there to control the Yeti.

William and Hermione listened in, finding it incredibly amusing.

William's primary concern, of course, was the situation in the United States.

Although he didn't really want to see Professor Babling, he was quite concerned about little Tom.

Unfortunately, Piqueli talked a lot about the conflict with the Muggle government.

In most countries, the upper echelons of government are aware of wizards and even coexist peacefully with them.

For example, the person at 10 Downing Street in England had a wizard by his side. This allowed for necessary communication in crucial moments.

However, the United States is a nation of immigrants, and due to the Purges, there was a long period of witch hunts.

The relationship between the Muggle government and the U.S. Wizarding Congress is very poor, with both sides in a state of mutual hostility.

The Muggle government has purged wizards, and the Magical Congress of the United States has done so many times, interfering in the president's affairs.

For example, the Watergate scandal in 1972.

In order to obtain intelligence on the Democratic Party's internal campaign strategies, President Nixon sent people to wiretap the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate building.

After being discovered, Nixon was forced to lose his presidency.

The people who removed the security listening devices were a group of special agents, professionals.

Why did that staff member discover what was supposed to be a flawless cover-up?

It wasn't until the Magical Congress of the United States sent Aurors to proactively 'remind' them that it happened.

William suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. This was 1995, after all, and President Clinton was the subject of the biggest scandal before the millennium.

It was around this time that a famous intern moved into the White House.

President Clinton couldn't control himself and had an unspeakable affair with Lewinsky in the White House. Could it also be a witch's love potion?

Tsk tsk... It seems that things are more interesting in the US than in Britain.
