Chapter 147 Deathly Hallows 9
The crowd was silent for about 1 minute, and the guests suddenly screamed and started running in all directions.They got to their feet, only to be jolted here and there by the fleeing people, who were apparating everywhere and making loud popping noises. "Ron!" Hermione rushed into the crowd with her shoes, trying to find Ron who didn't know where to get a drink.He dragged Harry to find Julie. Most of the guests were wizards, and they had some self-preservation power. Only Julie was a Muggle, and it was unknown if she was still with Krum.
Julie was also looking for him. "Thank God!" The other party was so excited that he almost cried when he saw him, "I'm really afraid of losing you."
"We've got to get out of here." He grabbed Julie's hand and Apparated her and Harry to Heathrow Airport.
"Ron and Hermione are still there! And Ginny!" Harry exclaimed.
"Hermione can Apparate with Ron. As for Ginny, she is with Mrs. Weasley all the time, so you don't have to worry about her safety." He quickly explained, "The entourage can only bring two people at a time, no more It's just too dangerous."
"Sorry, I was in a hurry." Harry scratched his head. "This is where?"
"London International Airport, Julie can go back to the United States directly from here." He looked at Julie, who looked like she wanted to vomit, and it should be the first time she experienced the entourage's appearance.
"What about you?" Julie asked with a livid face. "Aren't you going back to America?"
"Not for now, I have to protect Harry until he gets on the train." He felt that things were becoming more and more difficult, "The Burrow, the temporary headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, has been captured, and I don't know where else is safe .”
"I think our world is very safe." Julie took out her mobile phone, "If you need, I can contact people in the UK to protect Harry Potter, you people from the wizarding world will never come to us Bar?"
He and Harry looked at each other, "Let's do it this way. In a short time, the Mysterious Man won't be able to reach into the Muggle world, unless the Prime Minister is controlled by him."
"The prime minister is under control? Do you think it's possible?" Julie led them to sit down in a small coffee shop nearby. "I've already notified the people in the department, and they will send someone to pick us up later."
"The mysterious man has already tried to control the British Prime Minister, but because of the defense of the Ministry of Magic, he has not succeeded. Now that the Ministry of Magic has fallen into his hands, it is only a matter of time before he captures the British government." He rubbed his forehead, feeling more and more Riddle was short of manpower and couldn't defend against Voldemort's attack, so he found an excuse to get him back from the United States.
"If he controls the British cabinet, will it..." Julie looked worried.
"The U.S. government doesn't need to worry about it for the time being. If the Mysterious Man's power expands outward, he will first affect the European Union, and the U.S. is not yet on his agenda." In his opinion, the magic world in the U.S. is completely different from that in the U.K. However, the European magic world is closely connected with the United Kingdom. In addition, Voldemort already has overseas influence, but it is not as powerful as the United Kingdom. Invading the European continent after conquering the United Kingdom should be the most likely choice.
"Is he so powerful?" Judging by Julie's face, the group of American agents who were thinking about how to deal with wizards might still be vulnerable to Voldemort.
"I don't know exactly what you study about wizards. The most threatening thing about the mysterious man to Muggles is that his dark wizards can use the Imperius Curse to control any Muggle. You have never resisted the Imperius Curse." With experience, it is easy to be recruited. Other methods are not to be feared." He began to wonder if he was right to involve Julie, if Muggles knew how scary wizards are, would they let wizards go?But Voldemort wants to harm Muggles, shouldn't Muggles have the right to know?
"Defense Against the Dark Arts can actually be popularized, I mean among Muggles." Harry suggested from the side, "Resisting the Imperius Curse only requires experience and willpower, and does not require magical ability. Even Muggles can do it." do it."
"You can't expect a Muggle to have a wizard cast a spell on their head, they won't trust us." He sighed.
"We have our own methods to prevent wizards. In the United States, wizards are registered to ensure that they will not enter the decision-making bodies and top leadership of secret departments." Julie thought for a while, "But we really did not consider the invasion of foreign wizards. But. It is impossible for us to monitor wizards all over the world, especially illegal wizards like Voldemort, there is no official record to find—"
He stood up, realizing what Julie had just said. "Go! The Death Eaters have spotted us."
After speaking, he quickly transferred the two of them to San Francisco Airport.
"Have we come to the United States?" Julie looked around with an unhappy expression. "This is illegal entry!"
"I know, but I can't think of any safe place to stay." He quickly calmed Julie's emotions, "As long as you don't leave the airport, you are just transiting rather than entering."
"You still insist on protecting the savior of Britain, right?" Julie took out her mobile phone again, "You have already arrived in the United States, do you still want to leave?"
"If you promise to protect Harry, I can go back with you." He listed his own conditions, "but now, I'm afraid you are also in danger."
Julie's eyes flicked back and forth between him and Harry. "We can't protect the savior. This is the British's own business. You also said that the mysterious man will not attack the United States first. There is no need for us to cause such a trouble."
"If you don't stop V—well, My-Know-Who, sooner or later he will spread to the United States!" Harry said fiercely.
"How we protect our country has nothing to do with you. We will protect the British Prime Minister. After all, Britain and us are long-term allies. As for you, Harry Potter, British wizards believe that you are the savior, but we are very concerned It is clear that you are just a mediocre little wizard, and you have no so-called power to defeat the Dark Lord. All you have is prestige and political influence, and your only use is to give speeches everywhere, inspiring people to fight against the mysterious man." Julie snapped , making Harry speechless, "Our protection of you is equivalent to publicly declaring to intervene in the affairs of the wizarding world, not to mention the Mysterious Man, I am afraid that other forces in your wizarding world will not agree. Your wizarding affairs are resolved by you .”
"If the mysterious person intervenes in the Muggle regime, it cannot be regarded as a matter of the wizarding world." He analyzed carefully. "Do you understand the purpose of You-Know-Who? He wants to wipe out Muggles from the earth, along with those Muggle-born wizards. If he controls the British cabinet, and Britain is a country with nuclear weapons, you should be able to imagine What's his most likely move."
Julie's face changed, and then she regained her composure. "There are too many spies, agents or other hostile forces who want to control the government, and there are not too few people who want to detonate nuclear weapons. We are very experienced in dealing with these people."
"The people you dealt with in the past, they didn't have wands in their hands, did they?"
"How to deal with the wand holder is the job of our department, including you."
"Then I choose to protect Harry Potter," he replied calmly.
"You can't make decisions on your own..." Julie finally wavered, "I need to talk to the people above."
While Julie was on the phone with the people above, he dragged Harry to the corner. "You have to promise me that no matter what you see in the United States, you can't tell others."
"Okay." Harry nodded ignorantly, "but why?"
"The U.S. Department of Magic has violated the Statute of Secrecy, and has a series of secret cooperation with the American Muggle government." He simply explained, "In addition, I suspect that the imaginary enemies of these Muggles in the United States are not dark wizards, but All wizards."
"I don't understand..."
"We are against You-Know-Who because he is wrong. Muggles and wizards are human beings, and there is no difference in essence. But what if he is right? What if Muggles have strong hostility towards wizards? What if Muggles The melons will arrest all the wizards, like the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, number the wizards, force them to serve hard labor, and deny them the opportunity to use magic so as to destroy the inheritance of magic. If Muggles use wizards to do terrible things Horrible experiments to study the production of magic, if Muggles want to exterminate wizards... If this happened, would you choose to protect Muggles, or would you choose to resist Muggles, fight them, or even kill Muggles first? melon?"
Harry pondered for a while, "I understand what you mean. Neither you nor Tom want me to destroy the Horcruxes. If I say that Muggles want to harm us, so we have the right to strike first, then I will fight against the mysterious I'm the same person. I've come to support his claims, not against them. I've come to understand who I am, what I would do, and even if Muggles were hostile to us, I wouldn't want to Killed them. Like the Dursleys, they hated magic so much, they hated me, as a wizard, but they were still human, as human as I was, and I couldn't kill them just because they hated them."
"I'm glad you think so." He forced a smile, but his heart was worried.Can love and kindness really overcome the deepest fear in the human heart?Harry can choose not to kill Muggles, but one day, if Muggles kill people around Harry, can Harry still stick to his current thinking?
Now Muggles and wizards are still two groups of people who don't interfere with each other. Once there is hatred between them, whether it is Voldemort who endangers the safety of Muggles first, or Muggles first endangers the safety of wizards, can they still maintain their rationality? ?
