Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

-----------------

After leaving the Forbidden Forest, Lynn went directly to the headmaster's office, where McGonagall, who temporarily replaced Dumbledore, was working. The headmasters of the three schools except Durmstrang were also there, as well as a witch wearing the emblem of the International Confederation of Wizards.

As soon as Lynn and Euphemia entered the room, they saw the clouds of worry on their faces.

"I'm sorry I was delayed for a moment," he said. "Dumbledore should have explained everything clearly before he left. We have about half an hour, and then I have to rush to London."

"Half an hour should be enough." Madame Maxime sat in a specially enlarged armchair, "Tell me, what do we need to do now?"

She patted the empty seat at the main table. That was supposed to be Dumbledore's seat during the meeting, but no one sat there this time, even McGonagall sat next to him.

"That's good. This way it's easier to talk to everyone."

Lynn took his seat, with Euphemia sitting to his right.

There was no polite opening remarks or greetings. He just looked at the principals and started talking.

"Everyone, I am not going to deny that the current situation is not good for us. Dumbledore and Grindelwald are investigating the lair and source of those monsters. The elders of the Centaur tribe and I have just discussed the prophecy from three days ago. I believe he has already introduced these."

Mag asked: "So in addition to the two that appeared in London and Paris four days ago, there are actually another group of monsters with the same appearance?"

"Yes, Minerva." Lynn gave her a look, and Euphemia immediately took out the record paper. "The details are all on it. You can look at it later. I went to London to discuss countermeasures, but now we have a few urgent matters to decide first."

"You always think long-term, and the rest of us are not as good as you. We will listen to you." Fontana said, "Someone from the Magical Congress came to me last night and hoped to meet with you to discuss the follow-up cooperation matters, as well as their Muggle representatives."

"Thank you. I will meet with them later." Lynn looked at the most senior headmaster with gratitude. "Now let me tell you three things that need your help. First, ask the International Confederation of Wizards to coordinate with Durmstrang to select a new headmaster as soon as possible to complete the follow-up projects of the tournament. We must ensure that no panic is caused and no danger is caused to the participating students. Everything should proceed as usual."

"That's exactly why I'm here." The witch from the International Confederation of Wizards stood up in fear and trepidation. "The Durmstrang Board of Directors is already holding an urgent discussion, and there will be a result within three days."

"Very good, please go and supervise it now."

"must."

The envoy realized that he was being sent away and left without stopping.

Lin En took a sip of tea and continued, "Second, please help us purchase magic materials for mass production of the alchemical dolls and various medicines and protective equipment that have been tested in actual combat a few days ago." Lin En said, "The list is on the back of the record paper. Gringotts will purchase them at the market price, and you can also buy magic items made by goblin craftsmanship at a discount."

"Gringotts?" Principal Pollach raised his eyebrows. "Will those stingy goblins cooperate with us like this?"

"Not long ago, the Goblin Council, the highest authority of the goblins, completed its re-election. The new Speaker, Mr. Iain, has made a promise. The first batch of Galleons used to purchase magical materials was delivered to Hogwarts last night, Minerva?" Lynn looked at Magg.

McGregor stood up and took out a list. "This batch of Galleons is now being stored in a strictly confidential and safe place. The Hogwarts reserve warehouse has also been fully opened to serve as a supplementary force to deal with this emergency. Professor Snape is now counting the quantity of supplies and they will be put into use immediately."

Principal Pollach no longer had any doubts, and Madame Maxime and Fontana had already reached a tacit understanding and expressed their willingness to do their best to support.

Lynn nodded with satisfaction, turned his eyes away from the principals, and said calmly: "The third thing is about Beauxbatons. Olim, I hope you can go back to take charge of the overall situation, especially the alchemy workshop. Nico and Fei are going to complete an important task, which may take a few days."

"The two of them together? What work are you talking about?" Madame Maxime frowned.

"They are going to try to make a new magic stone to pair with the one I have." Lynn took out the dark red gem from his arms swiftly, and a blood-red light flowed on the surface of the crystal.

"!"

Even the calmest Mag couldn't help but gasp, and Madame Maxime's eyes widened.

"You actually...! That's not right, Nico said that it takes a wizard like you to make the Philosopher's Stone--!"

She suddenly stopped talking, looked at Euphemia, whose presence had been low from the beginning, in disbelief, and covered her mouth.

The eyes of several principals were instantly focused on her.

"When did it happen?" McGonagall asked briefly.

Chapter 563: Legend of the New Era

"Yes, just in these few days, I'm sorry I can't disclose the specific process to you."

Facing the surprised or shocked looks of the principals, Euphemia spoke calmly.

The ubiquitous light illuminates the originally dim office.

Mag and Maxime, who had worked with Lynn for a long time, immediately recognized the magic and felt the powerful power hidden behind this seemingly simple but actually mysterious magic.

This is a height that countless outstanding wizards have tried their best to reach in their lifetime, and it makes the principals who have devoted most of their lives to studying it feel mixed emotions.

The same is true of Euphemia herself.

She slowly turned sideways and met Lynn's eyes, and many scenes from the past few days emerged in her mind.

The fusion of Purple Rune is the real finishing touch to this transformation.

At first, it was just to help Lin En relieve the boredom caused by over-consumption, but it helped her find the inspiration to break through the bottleneck.

Rowena's knowledge, Helga's skills, and Dumbledore's recent experience were finally condensed into an emotional push, taking the most crucial step in an inseparable magical fusion.

It was a transformation from a river to an ocean. Even though it was not as profound as Dumbledore and Grindelwald's years of accumulation, it was on the same level.

"...I really didn't expect that." After a long silence, Fontana, the oldest one, was the first to come to his senses and smiled, "This is really rare good news."

The others also came to their senses and echoed the words. Madame Maxime's face was flushed, and the look she gave Lynn and Euphemia revealed unspeakable satisfaction and joy.

As the headmaster of Beauxbatons, she sincerely admired Nicolas Flamel's vision back then, and was grateful and proud of her own decisiveness and determination at the time.

The office, which had originally had a somewhat solemn atmosphere, was suddenly filled with cheers, like a ray of dawn breaking through the dark clouds of unknown depth.

Under the conference table, Euphemia gently held Lynn's hand with a faint smile.

Thinking back on the ups and downs she had gone through, she couldn't help but feel secretly moved and happy in her heart - at least this time, she was sure that she would no longer be the one being protected, but could stand upright beside Lin En and truly fight side by side with him.

-----------------

After some congratulations and regards, the brief meeting ended with all participants leaving in a hurry.

Everyone has a lot to do.

Headmaster Pollach would return to South America to lobby the Ministries of Magic of various countries and mobilize his network of contacts to transform Castrobus's advantages in potions and protection of magical creatures into a force to deal with this war that could almost be called a war of races.

Madame Maxime and Euphemia returned to Beauxbatons together. The work on the Philosopher's Stone was the top priority at the moment. The production and expansion of the alchemy workshop was also a task that Perenelle and several alchemy professors could not complete independently, so someone had to be in charge.

McGonagall walked with great gusto - as the actual person in charge who replaced Dumbledore to preside over the overall situation, she would meet with more than a dozen visitors this afternoon alone, which made her secretly feel fortunate for the teaching reforms she had previously promoted.

School matters cannot be neglected, and panic cannot be caused among students, otherwise it may very likely cause chaos in the entire wizarding world.

There's also the Order of the Phoenix, and the Ministry of Magic, and the Stargazers, the Witch Party, and the goblins.

All the clues will eventually converge on this capable and competent deputy headmaster, as well as Snape and Flitwick who are personally completing the renovation project in Slytherin's underground chamber.

In the future, this former underground classroom will serve as an important material transfer point, and may even carry part of the alchemical puppet production line transferred from the Starlight Group, in order to make full preparations for the battle that may break out at any time.

Lynn put his agenda in London on hold and rushed to the airship in Ilvermorny - but he did not meet with the representatives of the Magic Congress.

In Fontana's office, Lynn calculated the time while reading the letter at a glance.

After a few minutes, he sorted out his thoughts and looked up at the old principal: "They are willing to strengthen cooperation and increase the search efforts in China and throughout North America. This is naturally a good thing. Please help me convey a few opinions."

Fontana had already laid out parchment and a shorthand quill on the table and was staring at him calmly.

"First, we can try to enhance the combination of Muggle technology and magic to check important risk areas. This will be much more efficient than manpower." Lynn said, "Second, the use of Muggle weapons of mass destruction can be considered, but it is best to wait for Dumbledore and Grindelwald to come back before discussing it. They can contact Victor Roman of the Starlight Group in advance - they are old acquaintances who have worked together before."

"Muggle weapons of mass destruction... do you think these things could hurt those monsters?" asked Fontana.

"Not necessarily. Maybe they still need to be transformed, but now we can try all possible means." Lin En shook the parchment in his hand. "Finally, let them do a good job of internal management. If the monster named Baal succeeds, these awakened monsters may not be easy to deal with."

Anyway, they have plenty of money and manpower to do something with...Lin En thought to himself but didn't say it out loud.

After all, such words are somewhat hurtful.

Seeing that Fontana had no objection, he did not stay any longer and left first.

Soon, the officials of the Magic Congress who received the news walked in cautiously. After the last incident, everyone in the Magic Congress had a special fear of the name Lin En, not entirely because of him, but also because of Victor, who looked kind but had a black heart.

For the past two months, the usually lazy Magical Congress had been walking on thin ice all the time and had a difficult time.

On the other side, the little wizards who hurried back to the castle from the Forbidden Forest tried their best but still came back empty-handed. They only saw Doris who had just finished class in the corridor.

-----------------

While the students were discussing countermeasures one after another, Lynn had already appeared outside Amelia's office and met Percy who was walking out with documents in his hands.

"Good afternoon, professor!" he said politely. "Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet. Please bring me one. Amelia and I will eat and chat." Lynn said as she walked to the inner room, knocked on the door a few times and walked in. "Sorry, I was delayed at school."

The newly appointed minister is resting with her eyes closed, her desk full of documents - Voldemort and Leviathan have fallen, but the war is far from over. Instead, even greater risks are brewing, which has caused her workload to increase sharply.

Seeing Lin En, she perked up, stood up and poured him a cup of coffee, saying tiredly, "It's a good opportunity for me to take a break for a few minutes and catch my breath... I've been drinking stronger coffee lately, is that okay?"

"Of course, that's what I meant." Lin En took the coffee cup with a smile, took a sip and put it down. "Dumbledore has already started investigating the last false god base of Leviathan, and I have also received new intelligence. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to contact the Prime Minister. We need to adjust our previous plan."

He didn't touch the coffee again because it was too bitter to swallow.

But Amelia seemed to have no idea of ​​the bitter taste. She took a big sip and leaned back on the sofa in an ungraceful manner.

"Huh... the sofa is more comfortable than the office chair!" She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, revealing a laziness and casualness that she would never show in front of her subordinates. After a while, she said, "What kind of adjustment?"

"The focus of the investigation needs to be adjusted." Lynn, who knew the difficult situation of his old friend, did not care. He took out a copy of the prophecy and placed it on the coffee table. "Now we can be sure that Trelawney's prophecy 'from the stars' has other intentions. Although we cannot completely cancel the observation of outer space, especially the moon, the focus should be placed on the area around us. The elders gave a range, and it is likely that there will be more than one place."

"Bad news." Amelia sighed, "Any other bad news?"

"There should be no more bad news, but there is some good news. Do you want to hear it?" Lin En looked at her teasingly.

"Nonsense, talk."

"The good news is that I found a place where there is a high possibility of monsters sleeping. I plan to go explore the way."

"That's a great...wait! Just you?" Amelia noticed the problem sharply.

She jumped up from the sofa. "No, we can't afford this risk. Someone must cooperate with you and support you. I will lead the team myself!"

Before she could finish her words, Lin En grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back.

"Everyone has something to do, so it would be safest for me to act alone," he said softly but without dispute.

"But……"

"There aren't that many buts. Don't forget that you are a minister." Lynn said with a smile, "Even that old dog Voldemort is no match for me, let alone some monsters who only have strength?"

"..."

Amelia hesitated to speak, her eyes fixed on Lynn, as if she wanted to see through him.

Time passed so quickly that she would always subconsciously forget that this old friend whom she had known for more than ten years had actually quietly surpassed Grindelwald, Voldemort and even Dumbledore.

Compared with those legendary figures who have stood at the top of their times for decades or even longer, he seems to have stood higher.

The words of persuasion turned into the question "What else do you need me to do?" when they came to my lips.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

it's time for lunch.

Chapter 564 Insight

The working meals at the Ministry of Magic were not sumptuous, and could even be said to be too plain—at least for Lynn.

But Percy and Amelia both ate with gusto.

That's not quite right. It seems like they don't care about taste at all, as long as they have enough food and have the energy to continue working.

Soon, the two polite eaters finished up all the lunch in the lunch boxes, which surprised Lin En.

"Aren't you eating too fast?"

"After all, there is still a lot of work to do." Amelia poured herself another cup of black coffee and said as she drank, "We two are used to it, but it's a bit unfair to you."

"The professor is very demanding when it comes to food." While packing up, Percy half-jokingly said, "My mother learned several dishes from Euphemia. It's not easy to satisfy his taste buds."

After spending a long time with Lin En, he also learned to make jokes and jokes.

"That's prejudice, Percy." Lynn also put down his knife and fork and said seriously, "I often just eat a quick meal, too."

"If I hadn't seen the ingredients in the Hogwarts kitchen that were so expensive that they made me doubt my eyes, I would have believed it." Percy collected Lynn's tableware with a chuckle.

Lynn pretended to fight, but his assistant, who knew his style well, had already run a long way and slipped out of the office. He was both angry and amused at the sight, and Amelia couldn't help laughing as well.

"You two have a really good relationship. No wonder you plan so much for him." She said with a little emotion.

"After all, I watched him grow up, and he is my assistant who I trained myself. I know him inside and out." Lin En said calmly, "People's growth requires not only their own efforts, but also the help of people around them in many cases. We are all like this."

He stretched his shoulders and stood up from the sofa.
