A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 769 contains no organic nutrients and cannot be used to grow vegetables.

Having grown tired of Vienna, William and Hermione began traveling to other cities in Austria.

Professor McGonagall is someone who loves to travel the world, and one item on her wish list is:

Before retiring, he traveled all over the world on public funds.

William and Hermione's wish became even simpler: to visit a different country every holiday before graduation.

This plan must not be disclosed to others, especially the countries and cities on the two individuals' lists.

In the understanding of the Ministries of Magic in those countries:

This is the most terrifying travel guide ever, comparable to a buyer's show where the largest size clothes are worn as tights.

Sellers would beg you to delete buyer reviews even if it meant paying three times the price.

The cities they visited were also on tenterhooks, fearing that the two might accidentally cause a city-wide disaster and loss of life.

However, the reason a plan is called a plan is that various situations will always arise that prevent it from being successfully implemented.

William thought he could spend the summer in Austria in peace, until one day he received Missandei's Golden Flying Man again.

Jin Feixia brings the latest news: There is something important that requires the two of them to go back.

William and Hermione had no choice but to end their short trip and return to Vienna.

Okay, so it's another meeting.

William feels nauseous at the mere mention of a meeting, but there's nothing he can do... it's Dumbledore's request.

I thought Fudge had stirred up some trouble again, and I would have to give him a good scolding at the meeting.

Unexpectedly, after a rather unremarkable and somewhat lengthy speech, the Swiss representative, Heinrich Eberstadt, stood up.

"We hope that the International Federation of Wizards can properly deal with those hidden giants."

"What happened to them?"

"Did the giants attack the wizard?"

"I knew this group was no good!"

Good heavens, before even hearing anything about it, many wizards couldn't wait to launch a sweeping generalization.

However, the giants had been missing for so long that many wizards showed interest when they heard news of this race again.

The wrinkles on Heinrich's face had piled up, like yellowed, old book pages.

"Since a new wave of giants moved to the Alps more than a decade ago, there have been countless avalanches there."

"This year alone, we've detected as many as 35 large-scale avalanches, more than in the entire previous ten years combined!"

Heinrich angrily clenched his fist and said:

"This has not only attracted the attention of Muggles, but has also seriously threatened the lives of nearby residents."

Every avalanche requires a huge amount of manpower and resources for rescue!

The Alps are a haven for adventurers, attracting many backpackers every year.

If it were a natural avalanche, that would be one thing, but since it was a disaster caused by giants, the Swiss Ministry of Magic had to go and provide assistance.

After this happened so many times, the Ministry of Magic practically had to be stationed there.

Heinrich had his reasons for blaming the International Confederation of Wizards for this incident.

Giants were originally found all over the world, and although they were also found in the Alps, their numbers were actually not large.

The most famous gathering place of giants is the infamous Easter Island.

Easter Island, located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, is roughly triangular in shape and consists of three volcanoes.

This island is famous for its hundreds of giant stone statues.

Those stone statues are ancient relics left by the giants who lived there.

However, the giants were intellectually deficient and had a penchant for killing each other.

Due to the eruption of the volcano, the giants on Easter Island gradually perished, leaving only the statues behind.

Giants around the world are also slowly decreasing in number for various reasons.

By the 1970s, only a few thousand remained.

However, the giants were too powerful. A saying has always circulated in the magic world:

A giant is invincible if he has less than ten thousand, but is invincible if he has ten thousand!

Given such a formidable war machine, the giants naturally participated in the Wizarding Wars that took place in Britain more than a decade ago.

Because the Titans were prone to infighting, they split into three major factions:

Some helped Dumbledore; some helped Voldemort; and some remained neutral, attacking in all directions.

After the Wizarding Wars ended, an International Wizarding Congress was held, which ultimately determined:

Giants are dangerous creatures and should be driven out.

After much deliberation, they decided to drive the last giants into the Alps and let them fend for themselves.

After all, the mountain ranges are covered with thick snow... which contains no organic nutrients and cannot be used to grow vegetables!

Without the ability to grow vegetables, there would be little trace of human activity, which would allow these giants to starve to death.

But more than a decade later, the giants did not starve, but the avalanche problem has become a major headache for Switzerland.

William and Hermione exchanged a glance, both sensing something was wrong.

Whether the snow mountain would collapse or not was of no concern to the two, but Durmstrang's ship was carrying Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim on their way to find the giant tribe.

Given the speed of Durmstrang's ships, they should have reached the Alps long ago, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Otherwise, why would Dumbledore have called the two of them back?

"But we can't spare any wizards right now," Piqueli said.

This is not an excuse from Picqueri; the International Federation of Wizards simply cannot spare many people.

Like the United Nations of Muggles, the Wizarding Confederation also has a group of wizards who are similar to peacekeeping forces.

But what about the two Grindelwalds? Should Voldemort be investigated? Should the United States take charge? Should a Yeti control zone be established?

There's a whole host of other things... Compared to all that, the avalanche caused by the giants is nothing, just a minor ailment.

Let's make things harder for the Muggles and wizards in Switzerland.

But Dumbledore knew that this matter could not be delayed.

Voldemort will definitely recruit giants next, not to mention he also has a ship full of wizards in the Alps.

Who knows if these people were affected by the avalanche?

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed not enough people right now, but I can find others to help."

"Mr. Stark, Miss Granger, do you two have some time?"

They have so much time; they're traveling all over Austria.

The Austrian representative thought to himself.

"Yes, you two can help with the investigation," he immediately agreed.

Many wizards also agreed.

No one treats the two of them as junior wizards anymore; they are all treated as wizards of equal status.

Besides, everyone is eager for the two ancestors to leave as soon as possible.

The wizarding conference will be held in Vienna for a long time. What if a second attack occurs while the two of them are staying here?

The Swiss representative, Heinrich, raised his hand shakily, his face contorted with despair, and said, "Could we perhaps use another wizard?"

It's impossible to replace the player.

Except for Switzerland, the other representatives unanimously voted in favor, with even Umbridge voting in agreement.

She doesn't want to see the two of them at all right now.

She'll get her revenge sooner or later, but she'll wait until she returns to England and finds the strongest backer.

As for whether something will happen in Switzerland... everyone only cares about the rise of a great power, not the dignity of ordinary people.

Since the delegates voted in favor, William and Hermione decided to set off for Switzerland immediately, as time was of the essence.

Despite the fact that not many wizards were being dispatched, Dumbledore still assigned some men to William.

Missandei also volunteered to join the team.

She had never left Vienna and longed to see it.

Minister Soros provided a magical ship for the group to travel to Switzerland.

Before leaving, William touched the magic ship and thought to himself:

They got another yacht for free.

This trip to Vienna was truly worthwhile!
