  Chapter 1296 Asylum Program

  At this moment, in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, in Harry and Ron's dormitory, the broadcast from the Wizard's Observatory is playing.

  Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were sitting side by side on the edge of the bed, listening to the content on the radio, and whispering about the "big things" that happened recently.

  At first, they were reluctant to believe that Hogwarts expelled all Muggle wizards in one go, but this has happened, and it has been confirmed by Professor McGonagall, no matter how shocked they are, it will not help.

   What's more, from the establishment of the Muggle-born Registration Committee by the Ministry of Magic to the old Bat Snape becoming the new headmaster of Hogwarts, they all had expectations of what happened now.

   Voldemort finally got his wish and drove all Muggle students out of Hogwarts.

   "Ginny, are you planning to go to Hogwarts next semester?"

  Harry, who was fiddling with the Snitch, seemed to think of something, and turned his head to ask the red-haired girl sitting beside him.

  He knew the current situation of the Weasley family. If Ginny continued to go to Hogwarts to study now, he would be completely self-inflicted, but he was still an outsider, and he couldn't say much about certain things.

   "It hasn't been decided yet, but I think I'll probably suspend school first." Ginny looked at Harry casually and asked, "Do you also think it's not safe for me to go to Hogwarts now?"

"Well, I don't recommend you to take risks. Both Voldemort and Death Eaters have the habit of taking hostages and threatening others." Harry noticed Ginny's gaze, looked away and continued, "They will definitely do that .”

"This is a very wise choice." Hermione agreed with Harry's words: "If Ginny goes to Hogwarts to study, she will probably be captured by Death Eaters on the Hogwarts Express. The Dead Apostles have already set their sights on your home, and they certainly don’t mind taking hostages and threatening you to compromise.”

   "Why is it on the Hogwarts Express?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Going directly to Hogwarts to arrest people is likely to cause panic in the wizarding world." Hermione said with a strange expression, "They will probably bring dementors to check the train before the students enter Hogwarts to see how many of us whether to go back to school."

   "Sounds stupid," Harry muttered. "Who would be stupid enough to throw themselves into a trap?"

"No, that's just routine." Hermione explained, "Even if they know there will be no results, they will do that. After all, I, Ron and you are all on their blacklist together, and they will use it to check the train." Whether the students in the school have a certificate of wizarding blood, so as to screen out a group of Muggle wizards."

   "At this time, will there really be Muggle-born students who go to school foolishly?" Ron was very puzzled by this.

   "There will always be one or two, don't forget, Mom doesn't want us to drop out of Hogwarts." Ginny reminded.

  Everyone was silent. What Ginny said was really not a joke. Before Bill and Fleur got married, Mrs. Weasley had always insisted that they should not drop out of school and should continue to study at Hogwarts.

  What an innocent and lovely idea.

   However, that is undoubtedly a rather ridiculous thing.

   "She should have recognized the reality by now, but the price is a bit high." Ron sighed softly.

  Bill and Fleur's wedding completely shattered Mrs. Weasley's last illusion, and left very serious sequelae.

  Until now, people hate the wedding that brought disaster to them. The newlyweds, who were supposed to be blessed, have become objects of disgust and spurn by the families of many victims.

  Harry felt guilty about this, he thought Voldemort and the Death Eaters came because of him.

"Don't apologize to Harry, it wasn't your fault." Seeing the change in expression on Harry's face, Ron stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't forget, my family has always been the biggest pure-blood traitor family, and Fred and George are also on the Death Eater's list."

   "It would be great if everyone was willing to listen to Albert's suggestions." Hermione's soft sigh caused everyone present to fall into silence.

  After the incident, people have selectively ignored that the disaster was completely avoidable.

   Especially Albert, who is a master of prophecy, has reminded them more than once that they should be careful.

  However, the disaster happened after all, and no matter how you look at it, it was the result of their own choices.

  The people who caused all this choose to ignore this, they don't have the courage to bear the terrible consequences.

"yes!"

  Bill's voice was full of bitterness, "Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world."

   "Bill!"

  Everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads to look outside the door. Bill was standing outside with a gloomy face.

"It is indeed our own fault. Fred and George have told me more than once. If we had just held a small wedding quietly at that time, so many things would not have happened." Bill still regrets it very much. They once There was a chance to right this wrong, but they paid a huge price for it.

   Not only did Charlie die, but Fleur's parents also died, and many of her relatives were brutally murdered at the wedding. The Weasley family almost became the enemies of the Delacour family, and it may be difficult for the two sides to have any further contact.

   This incident became Fleur's eternal pain, and Fleur's sister Gabriel also suffered from trauma due to the loss of her parents and relatives, and was taken back to France by her cousin Louise for treatment.

   "Bill, what's the matter?"

   Hermione sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly changed the subject.

   "Anderson is leading the construction of a safe area similar to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, intending to house those expelled Muggle students, and we also..."

   "Why isn't the Order of the Phoenix taking the lead?" Ron asked with raised eyebrows.

   "Actually, it doesn't matter who takes the lead. There is no need to care about such trivial matters. We all work together, and we all went to help."

  Bill didn't care about this little thing, but after noticing Ron's probing gaze, he explained casually, "If you insist, this plan was first formulated and perfected by Anderson."

   "However, no one cares about this kind of thing. We just want to give those temporarily expelled Hogwarts students a safe place to stay."

   "I'm just a little curious." Ron said with a dry cough.

"There is a rush for construction over there, and people are needed to complete the shelter as soon as possible. Everyone has gone to help." Bill explained to Harry and the others, "So, I will stay here at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and I will spare time for you guys. Attend class."

   "Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

  Harry was looking forward to it. He hadn't taken Bill's class yet, so he didn't know how Bill's defense against the dark arts was.

   "No." Bill shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later, let's go to eat first. Furong has already prepared dinner, and she should be serving it to Mom and Dad."

  Because of guilt and self-blame, the Weasleys have yet to get out of the shadows in their hearts and regain their strength.

  Nowadays, they often hug each other and cry. They are all miserable people who have lost their loved ones. No one will blame anyone anymore.

   Dinner is very average, boiled potatoes.

  In fact, before Mrs. Weasley recovered, their food was relatively simple. Although Hermione can cook, the taste is also "very ordinary", so she usually just helps out.

   "How's the situation over there?"

  Harry was eating a potato with the skin on, and casually picked up a topic to avoid the atmosphere in the hall from being too stiff.

   "It should be finished soon, just repair the damaged places a little bit, plug the windows and holes, and simply clean up a few floors." Bill has also been there once or twice, and it is much bigger than theirs.

   "Same as here?" Ginny asked.

"To be honest, the conditions there are much worse than here. It's like a refugee area. Fred and George also said that." Bill shrugged, "They said they were going to hide from the disaster and have a safe place to stay. Not bad. Everyone also donated something to them, mostly flour and potatoes, so that they could barely have a meal and not go hungry. I heard from George that they also planned to let those children grow some mushrooms and vegetables by themselves Improve food, don’t even think about meat.”

   "How miserable!"

  Fu Rong took a bite of the sausage and sighed softly.

  You can already imagine the miserable lives of those students.

   "It would be nice to have something to eat." Bill shook his head and said, "Of course, they can also find ways to improve their food. Anyway, they didn't intend to restrict their freedom of coming and going from the beginning."

   "Can't they conjure delicious food out of thin air?" Ron asked puzzled, "I remember my mother can always conjure delicious food out of thin air."

   "No one can conjure food out of thin air. You probably forgot that food is the first of the five exceptions to 'Gamp's Basic Law of Transformation'." Hermione reminded.

   "So it's impossible to conjure delicious food out of thin air?" Harry asked, "How did Mrs. Weasley do it?"

   "If you know where the food is, you can use magic to bring it in," explained Fleur, who had learned from Mrs. Weasley how to cook Bill's favorite food.

"If you plan to be outside for a long time, you'd better learn how to cook food so that you won't be hungry." Bill stopped Ron, who was about to say something, and waved his wand to conjure a book out of thin air. The book was passed to Hermione across the table: "George asked me to give it to you, but I think Albert prepared it for you."

   "The Encyclopedia of Wild Edible Fungi." Hermione read the title softly after taking the book.

   "So, we'll have to pick mushrooms for a living?" Ron's eyes widened in disbelief.

   "If you can't get food, at least you can get some mushrooms to satisfy your hunger. Remember to bring some seasonings."

   "Perhaps, you can cook more food, and then we will directly use magic to summon the food."

  Ron felt that it was unreliable to let them cook their own food, especially wild mushrooms, many of which were inedible.

  Harry ate potatoes silently. He actually knew the hardships of going out, but sometimes he didn't have a good choice.

   "Can I go over there and have a look?" Harry asked suddenly, "After the harness on my body disappears, I want to go over there to see the fleeing students."

   "That's not a problem, I think they will definitely welcome you." Bill lowered his voice and said, "Sirius and Kingsley plan to absorb some wizards into the Order of the Phoenix."

   "Underage wizard?" Hermione asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Of course when they become adults, maybe in a year or two, no one knows when this war will end." Bill shook his head and explained, "Those children will eventually become adults, if they still have the courage to do it with the mysterious man If we fight, we would welcome them to join us."

   "Is Albert planning to do that too?" Harry asked suddenly. He felt that might be the main reason why Albert was willing to help them.

  "The Defense Association is indeed planning to absorb a group. As for their plans, Fred and George didn't say much, but I think they do have this intention."

  Bill actually thought of this too, but they really need more fresh blood to join them in fighting the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters.

   Moreover, they will not force those children, everything is free, they can choose to join or not, just like they can choose to stay or stay.

   "After a while, Lupine will find time to give them lessons and improve their defense against the dark arts. It's still too slow to learn from that "Self-Defense Guide" alone."

   "Why don't the Order of the Phoenix and the Defense Association directly absorb other adult wizards who resist the mysterious man?" Hermione asked puzzled, "Compared to the underage wizards, those adult wizards should be the main force against the mysterious man!"

   "Anderson thinks that most adult wizards, that is, those who have been working for several years or even a long time, are not reliable." Bill used Albert's words to answer Hermione's question.

   "Why does Anderson think that adult wizards are unreliable?" Ginny was also puzzled, not understanding why Albert trusted those students living in Hogwarts more.

   "Probably...selfish!" Bill smiled wryly.

  Harry fell silent suddenly.

  Everyone worships the lightning scar on his forehead and regards him as the savior, don't they just hope that he can defeat the mysterious man.

"Under normal circumstances, adults are more selfish. In fact, they are not really willing to believe in Albert. It's just a choice in desperation. Otherwise, they wouldn't end up like this." Bill laughed at himself, "And, Sometimes your kindness may not be able to get a thank you from the other party."

   There was a long silence in the hall.

"Therefore, Anderson has always been reluctant to ignore them, and plans to directly adopt large-scale screening. If they really want to believe in us and are willing to contribute to the fight against the mysterious person, we will be willing to lend a hand, and help them prepare if they don't want to." Once you're in a safe haven, just let it go."

   It is hard for them to say anything about this, because the fact is like this.

"It can only be said that Anderson sees it very clearly. It is obviously unrealistic to expect everyone to fight against the mysterious man together." Bill sighed and said to Harry, "However, we alone want to fight against the mysterious man and his power." Minions are not enough, we should try our best to unite those forces that can be united."

   "I know what to do."
