The discussion in the tent was still very heated. At least some people in the Ministry of Magic represented by Fudge, or those who represented the interests of conservative pure-blood families, were not particularly interested.
Even though the dwarf master craftsman has already mentioned the worst outcome of the matter, some people's attitude is: Really? I do not believe!
This feels familiar, right?
But finally Dumbledore spoke, "Before I came, I met a few old friends, including Cassandra..."
Everyone was silent. On the one hand, they respected Dumbledore's status. On the other hand, the Cassandra he was talking about was Cassandra Wabraski, the author of "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future."
A wizard from Eastern Europe, who is about a hundred years old now. She should be one of the few wizards who is considered to have the ability of divination and prophecy in the past fifty or sixty years. Not that kind of liar.
So, Dumbledore went to see a diviner? What did she say?
"She said...a disaster has gripped the whole of England. It's like dancing on an egg, and it's all over if you're not careful."
...In the end, Dumbledore convinced Fudge and the Ministry of Magic officials he represented. In fact, if Dumbledore insisted on trusting the judgment of dwarves and dwarfs, Fudge would eventually compromise.
Because he can't afford to gamble.
Although things on the Muggle side are also very urgent, if something happens here in the end, regardless of the size of the matter, you will definitely have to bear the responsibility in the end.
If Dumbledore didn't believe it either, then of course he would be the one to take the lead. But if he chooses to believe it and he doesn’t believe it, then he has to take the blame.
It can only be said that political beings have too many things to consider.
…
Because the situation was urgent, manpower was already organized to take action that night.
After talking to Ted again and trying the potion he provided, Dumbledore wrote and called Snape.
Dumbledore: "This is the fire resistance potion and frost protection potion developed by Ted. They are very effective. Severus, I need you to make a lot of them. We need this now!"
Snape's face turned gloomy when he heard about the recipe for making his "stupid students" unlucky.
But he also knew that Dumbledore wrote a letter specifically asking him to come, and his attitude in the letter was very humble. This was unusual, so he could only ask with a stinking face: "How much does it cost? Also, the supply of materials must be guaranteed." !”
"Of course, it will probably take...at least fifty bottles! The more, the better! You can discuss the specific details with Ted."
When Snape heard about fifty bottles, he muttered and cursed: "Does fifty bottles of potion require a bath? I know it's unreliable! Damn unlucky formula! It's not as good as dragon dung..."
Ted was so respectful to his teacher. He listened to him scolding for a long time and let out a bad breath. Then he stepped forward and said: "Professor, let me talk about the difficulties of these two potions. The former is a potion for treating burns. The modified and enhanced version, I added fire flowers and salamander scales..."
"As for the frost protective potion, because it involves the new magic spell I developed, I can only ask you to make the base liquid and give it to me. Jerry and I will cast a spell on it..."
In fact, after thinking about it, Ted had already requested to bring Hermione and Neville over on the grounds that "potions require spelling, and only his friends can do exclusive spells."
After all, this is a big event, so why not let the friends see the world. After all, they only serve as logistics and are very safe.
Dumbledore was originally unwilling and had no choice but to let Ted join this battle. Considering his strength and mature mind, it was okay, but dragging other third-year students into it really didn't look like a principal. Things to do.
But Ted advised: "Professor, I can understand your idea of protecting students, but little wizards cannot grow without experiencing things. This time we only provide help at the rear, which is a rare opportunity. What's more, this affects the entire UK I think they are shouldering the responsibility for Mishima’s major events!”
Sirius on the other side also said good things to his adopted daughter: "At that time..."
It was okay if he didn't say it. Dumbledore felt a headache when he mentioned it, and he was afraid of calling these children here to make trouble again, but he finally agreed.
Because he was moved by what Ted said, "Little wizards can't grow without experiencing things."
The Boy-Who-Lived and his friends really needed more training than the average little wizard.
That night, the friends were picked up individually.
And they had just been brought by members of the Ministry of Magic using Apparition, and before they could get used to the dizzy feeling, they heard Fudge's shaky speech there...
He has been speaking for ten minutes, and the general content is: As the Ministry of Magic, we must both... and... and...
…
After a busy night of messy equipment, the wizard's side is probably ready.
The reason for this is that they really have no experience in organizing such a big event, so they are in a hurry and at a loss. What a mess!
Every wizard was very tired in the middle of the night, but it was hard to tell how much he had done.
But Ted did his best.
The production of fire resistance potion and frost protection potion had already kept him busy for half the night, even if Snape commanded six or seven potion masters to help.
Later, a formation tactic of "encroaching step by step and advancing with frost" was proposed.
During this period, the wizards and dwarves were naturally not idle. They sent several teams to try to sneak into the land of fire, and test the enemy's strength and the influence of the environment.
It can only be said that the enemy is not weak, especially in that kind of environment.
The air temperature in the Land of Fire reached nearly fifty degrees, which was like taking a bath in the hottest pool. The exposed skin turned red for more than ten seconds. Even those with low physical constitution felt short of breath.
The leather boots under my feet began to soften in that area within a few minutes, and after a few minutes they began to stick to the ground!
This scorching environment will cause the wizards to lose one-third of their combat effectiveness!
Not to mention, although the overall strength of those fire elemental beings is not very high, their lethality is definitely not overwhelming.
It's both flame and magma!
Not to mention anything else, many fire-element monsters will self-destruct when they die. Six wizards in the advance reconnaissance team alone were burned by the red and hot gravel.
It was Ted who temporarily used white essence mixed with frost oil to stabilize the injury. Then the wizards remembered that they had to go to St. Mungo's Hospital to invite medical staff to be ready to treat the wounded at any time.
Ted's expression at that time - it was simply torture!
It's like playing League of Legends, the opponent is of average strength, but four of your teammates have cerebral palsy!
Going to jail!
Fudge was walking around, talking to one person and giving tasks to another. He was so busy that he was sweating. He seemed to be very competent, but in the end, the more he gave orders, the more chaotic he became.
Finally, Dumbledore couldn't stand it any longer and left.
Fudge didn't think that his dignified Minister of Magic would cause trouble, so he was very unhappy when he was sent away.
Ted really wanted to rush up and give him two big dicks - why don't you piss and take a look at yourself! Look at how cool you are! What the hell are you doing micromanaging with Kaishen Logistics here? ! Do I have the advantage of 500,000 vs. 300,000? I beep beep beep beep...
…
"Ted, it's up to you!" Sirius led two teams of ten wizards under the sinkhole and said to Ted.
"Um!"
Ted couldn't help but gear up when faced with the large amount of magic materials shipped overnight by the Ministry of Magic.
The "eating step by step, advancing with frost" approach he proposed was to use the power of the alchemy circle to control the high-temperature environment.
Looking at the pile of fairy magic silver in front of me as high as one person, and then looking at the other piles of materials - I have never fought such a rich battle!
The fairy magic silver on the ground slowly melted in the alchemy array constructed by Ted, and then began to flow along the established formation marks, and each magic text began to shine brightly.
About ten minutes later, Ted pretended to take a few sips of the magic replenishing potion, looking weak: "It's ready! You guys rush in later, remember to put down the materials as marked at any time, and resist the monsters. . After the magic circle is spread out, the temperature can be lowered a lot, so we can fight in that kind of place..."
Sirius didn't speak, just nodded, and then led the vanguard team into the Land of Fire. They wanted to provide a foothold for the follow-up troops.
The remaining wizards in the sinkhole looked at Ted and felt incredulous: There were potions, magic circles, and magic texts. Is Hogwarts all rolled up like this now? Even if I graduate from seventh grade, I don’t know these things?
Behind them, Hermione, Harry and the others were already busy. Ted was in charge of the magic circle, and they were responsible for the execution.
