v3 Chapter 8： International Wizarding Conference

"Professor Dumbledore, what do you mean? Why did you call us here? I was supposed to preside over the opening ceremony today." A witch dressed as a very tall lady stood up and looked at the venue. The old man in the center, her opal jewelry gleaming under the lamp.

Dumbledore stood on a high platform in the center of a circular venue, surrounded by a circle of circular stairs, and it was full of people dressed in different costumes. The most conspicuous were fifty people wearing purple-red robes. A delicate silver "w" is embroidered on the left front chest of wizards - they are all members of the Wizengamore.

"Mrs. Maxim, as the president of the International Federation of Wizards and the chief wizard of Wizengamore, I have the right to convene this International Conference of Wizards." Dumbledore, who was standing in the most prominent position, said gently and firmly, "The reason for the Headmasters, ministers and members of Wizengamore are here because a new storm is coming and the wizarding world is facing an unprecedented crisis."

Dumbledore's series of titles and his own deeds made him enjoy a high reputation in the international wizarding world. Only he can gather the famous and status wizards from all over the world to sit together and talk about major events. Of course, he had never held a meeting of this scale before. Because when Grindelwald was raging, he didn't have such a position, and when his position was enough, the threat he encountered was not worth it for him to open such a meeting.

Dumbledore glanced at the wizards in the audience, and he saw a lot of familiar faces: the leader of the magic department of the three kingdoms of England, France and the United States, all the members of Wizengamore, and the older generation of famous people headed by Newt - although Newt is his student, but at the age of 80, he is indeed regarded as the old man of the magic world, and the headmaster of 9 long-established and prestigious magic schools...

Dumbledore invited all the famous people in the magical world today. The scale of this meeting was unprecedented, and it was also a meeting that bet on Dumbledore's lifetime reputation.

"A new storm is coming - an ancient organization is expanding rapidly recently, the Purge!" Dumbledore became serious, his voice resounding throughout the auditorium. When the word Cleaner was spit out from Dumbledore's mouth, everyone turned their attention to a middle-aged man sitting in the front row. He was wearing a delicate suit, and his hair and beard were meticulously groomed.

This person is the Speaker of the Magical Congress of the United States, equivalent to the British Minister of Magic. Feeling the countless eyes focused on his face, he remained expressionless, just nodded, showing that what Dumbledore said was true.

All of a sudden, the nerves of the wizards present were tense. Although ordinary wizards don't know the name of the Purgeers, they, as district leaders, know something about this notorious organization. The Sweeper's reputation among wizards is almost the same as "NAZI"'s reputation among Muggles.

The rapid expansion of the purgers touched the sensitive nerves of the wizards present.

"Why? I remember saying that the purgers are out of tune in the United States before." A sturdy wizard with bronze skin and a jaguar helmet slapped the table, "Are you kidding us?"

Dumbledore stopped the grumpy South American wizard, motioning him to calm down first, "The Purifiers are rising rapidly because of the power of the unknown, and as far as I know, this time has happened more or less all over the world. Cases involving magic. Arson in Nantes, France, attack on Notre Dame de Paris, missing train in New York, fire dragon in Australia, rabbit plague in England…”

Dumbledore casually cites a few cases that have been a headache for the local Ministry of Magic.

"There are more or less the shadow of the purgers behind these things. Disasters are all over the world, and the frequency of occurrence is increasing. The International Law of Wizarding Secrecy is facing unprecedented challenges, so I invite everyone to come over today. Let's unite, Completely eradicate the organization of the Purgeers, and put an end to the magic cases happening around the world..."

Dumbledore made his proposal in front of wizarding minds all over the world.

"The demons in the Japanese area will be taken care of by me and take care of the aftermath, without outside intervention," Dumbledore said, when a wizard dressed as a samurai stood up, "and today I also have important news to inform you, the former general. My soul has returned to Hirazaka, the new general has taken over the position of general on the first day of last month, and starting from the first day of this month, the Japanese magic world will implement a national lock policy, I hope you all know."

As soon as this sentence was said, coupled with Dumbledore's previous proposal, the audience was in an uproar. The Minister of Magic in Japan is called "General" by them. He has always been the most powerful wizard in Japan. The previous general has been a general since the Taisho era. Died without a sound!

"It's normal, the sun will also set." A North Korean wizard in bloomers gave a strange laugh and said sullenly. The samurai ignored him and disappeared after making a handprint in front of him.

The wizards in the venue discussed at a high pace...

At this time, the auditorium at Hogwarts was also a mess. The little wizards couldn't stop talking about where Professor Dumbledore was going. You know, Headmaster Dumbledore hasn't missed the opening ceremony since the days of their fathers! But today was an exception.

"Something important must have happened, or Professor Dumbledore will definitely come. Tom, what do you think?" Hermione turned her head sideways and asked in Tom's ear.

Tom shook his head, and he couldn't guess it. It stands to reason that the fact that the Hogwarts Express was stopped by Dementors would not make him miss the opening ceremony, could it be...

He suddenly had a conjecture but it has not been verified.

At this time, Professor McGonagall stood up from the staff bench and tapped the goblet in front of him with the spoon in his hand.

"Welcome students, come back or come to Hogwarts in the new school year." Professor McGonagall was a little nervous, so his face became more serious, like a layer of frost.

[Dumbledore's Test (1): Mission Completion

Automatic quest: Dumbledore's test (2): After the opening ceremony, wait for Dumbledore's summons]

When Professor McGonagall said this, Tom's system popped up a prompt that the task he had received before was completed.

"Our principal, Professor Dumbledore, there are some things today and I can't come for the time being, so I will preside over today's opening ceremony for the time being." As she spoke, she turned her wand, a four-legged stool with a sorting hat on it. It landed firmly in front of her.

The sorting ceremony is about to begin.
