days at Hogwarts

Chapter 807 Creating the Future

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

"Trains, planes, ferries... Muggles have woven a giant network of steel to cover the entire world. The footprints of Muggle adventurers have spread to every corner of the planet. Over the past few decades, traces of wizards and magical creatures have been revealed many times. In order to uphold the Statute of Secrecy, the efforts and costs paid by the International Confederation of Wizards and various wizarding governments are incalculable.

"The Statute of Secrecy was established out of consideration for maintaining peace and is a strategic law agreed upon by the wizarding community.

"There are billions of Muggles around the world, and they have the most convenient channels for information transmission. They can talk to their companions on the other side of the ocean within a few minutes, and can transmit the photos they take and the sounds they record to tens of thousands of people at the same time, even to strangers thousands of miles away. It is becoming increasingly difficult to hide magic.

"Seventy years ago, Grindelwald and the MACUSA started a war in New York, exposing magical creatures and wizards to the Muggles in the city. At that time, only the venom of the winged demon could quell the unrest and hide the traces of magic. Wizards all over the world praised Mr. Newt Scamander's wisdom, believing that Muggles were just ordinary humans who were fooled by us.

“With the development of technology, things are completely different now.

"Just last week, when the British Ministry of Magic was preparing for a meeting, a Muggle accidentally walked into the Leaky Cauldron and ran into several witches. That night, text and pictures were posted on the website. In just three or four hours, 4,700 people viewed this page. We cannot cast a forgetfulness spell on every viewer. Directly modifying the webpage will leave log information. All measures will leave indelible traces. After consulting with Muggle experts, we can only add, delete and modify the information on the webpage, disguising it as an urban legend.

"Even so, it still had an impact on the Muggles. There were many strangers wandering around the streets where the Leaky Cauldron was located. We had to increase our vigilance until the impact gradually subsided. This situation lasted for about half a month...

"The same thing happened at the Woolworth Building in the United States and the wizard colony in Bavaria, Germany. The French government intelligence department even sent a commissioner to investigate the whereabouts of wizards. As Muggles' information channels become more and more complete and the speed of communication becomes faster and faster, magic will sooner or later be exposed to the prying eyes of technology. We must be prepared in advance..."

In addition to stating that the confidentiality law is gradually being implemented, Ms. Bones also directly displayed a lot of video materials, popularized Muggle technology to the delegates and audience present, and even demonstrated the telephone and fax machines in kind. When people spoke and wrote on one side, they could hear the voice and see the same handwriting on the other side, just like the sound of a fax machine spitting out paper.

The display was managed by the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, and a certain red-haired supervisor had a broad smile on his face.

The wizarding governments of some other countries are relatively closed and lack contact with Muggle society. They originally thought that the Statute of Secrecy was like a high wall that blocked the sight of Muggles and would last forever. However, it turned out that the wall was actually a glass wall with a loose structure and an unstable foundation. It was already on the verge of collapse.

When an unexpected incident occurs, it will spread to the whole world in just a few minutes, and there will not be enough time to cast the forgetfulness spell.

After the presentation, Ms. Bones paused for a moment, waiting for the wizards in the venue to digest and absorb the previous information. She continued her speech after more than ten minutes:
"Dumbledore recently visited intelligent creatures all over the world, especially mermen and centaurs, the two most widespread and largest groups. The situation of the mermen is very bad. The tribes living in warm freshwater areas can still reproduce normally, while the mermen in the ocean are busy migrating to find safe habitats.

"The Muggle government began to experiment with forbidden weapons sixty years ago. After half a century, many countries have made great progress in forbidden weapons and started to apply this principle to energy. I am not sure whether Muggles can master this energy, but because of their mistakes and omissions, more and more newborn mermaids are deformed. The prophet of their tribe believes that this is a sign of extinction.

"The Centaurs often hide in the primeval forests. They know how to observe the stars and predict good and bad luck, and are able to avoid disasters. Despite this, Muggle explorers have already appeared near their tribe. It is only a matter of time before their identities are exposed..."

Some delegates and magical creatures nodded secretly, 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 did in the past.

"Other intelligent magical creatures are more or less facing similar problems. Muggles are already standing outside the magic castle and knocking on the door. Conflicts and disputes are inevitable. We are here to propose a solution to the problem - the migration of magical civilization."

Ms. Bones turned to look at the chair, at the young wizard sitting next to Dumbledore:
"Before explaining the entire plan, please allow me to introduce you here. The youngest councillor of the Wizengamot, the youngest knight of the Order of Merlin, the successor of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who was deeply involved in the improvement and promotion of the Wolfsbane Potion, defeated Voldemort head-on at the New York airport last summer, and sniped the Death Eaters... Mr. Loren Morgan!"

As Ms. Bones told these stories, more and more eyes focused on Loren, examining him with either surprise or admiration, which eventually turned into a kind of respect.

"call……"

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

From far to near, he could see Hermione, Draco, Harry and others sitting in the audience seats, and closer to them were Headmaster McGonagall, Mad-Eye Moody, and Madam Maxime. Next to him was Dumbledore, who narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled gently. In fact, his original idea was to hide behind the scenes and let Dumbledore propose this plan, with his reputation accumulated over the past hundred years as a guarantee, and then let the American Magical Congress and the British Ministry of Magic coordinate on the side, and mobilize the entire wizarding world to implement the plan.

But Dumbledore refused.

He said that he had graduated and that adult wizards should face these things on their own. He said that this was a plan he proposed and that he needed to explain and demonstrate it... It was as if he had returned to the lower grades and these difficulties were part of his student training plan.

These thoughts flashed through Loren's mind silently. He did not use his wand, nor did he chant any spells. His clear voice spread throughout the venue:

“Ladies and gentlemen, Loren Morgan sends his warmest regards.

"The foundation of the magic civilization migration plan lies in a new type of space transfer device. By exploring the mysteries of the soul and the body, we have solved the underlying principle of Apparition and combined it with the Floo Network to improve it..."

Dumbledore sat quietly beside him, his azure blue eyes behind his crescent-shaped lenses, his gaze deep, as if he was looking through space into the unknown future.

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

The new space shifts, the entire magic world, across the other side of the galaxy...

These words penetrated into 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 brains were a little stiff, and they couldn't tell whether they were surprised or shocked. They couldn't even make a sound to discuss or debate. The huge conference hall seemed a little silent.

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

Loren sat down slowly.

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

"Representative of the British Ministry of Magic, I agree."

"Representative of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, I agree."

"Representative of the French Ministry of Magic, I agree."

"Representative of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, I agree."

"..."

In the audience, reporter Rita Skeeter stared blankly at the black-haired, black-eyed young wizard. In front of him was an open notebook, with a shorthand quill waving rapidly over it, recording thrilling words one by one. If someone looked closely, they would find that the handwriting was a little distorted, just like the waves in the wizard's heart.

Everyone present knew clearly:

This moment will forever shine in the history of magic.
