Chapter 369: The Position of Hogwarts
Time moved forward slightly. Just as Tony Stark from the main universe went to the blocked Hawaii to find backup, Principal Tom of Hogwarts also came to the blockade. New York City in the District.
In the villa of George Stacey in Queens, two parents of students met the famous principal of the magic school for the first time.
"Are you...are you Principal Riddle?" Aunt May was a little embarrassed. The only big person she had ever really come into contact with in her life was the approachable Director George.
As for every election year, those state legislators and congressmen seem to be "going deep into the people", but in fact they are aloof. They are willing to come and shake hands with her because of her beautiful appearance and graceful figure.
The person in front of me is the principal of the only extraordinary school on earth. Many important people have never had the chance to meet him.
"Yes, Tom Riddle." Principal Tom looked like an old-fashioned British gentleman, trying to be approachable while being reserved.
"You guys talk first, I'll go get the tea." Aunt May knew that a big shot like Tom came here specially for a "home visit", and most likely wanted to talk to George Stacey about something. She, an ordinary housewife, couldn't interrupt. He was eloquent and believed that Director George, who was of impeccable character, would consider his daughter and Peter, so he took the initiative to take on the housekeeping work.
In today's chaotic situation, it is no small kindness that someone is willing to let her stay and provide food and water.
The most important thing is that Director George has always adhered to the principles of a gentleman and has never had any inappropriate thoughts about her. He even looked at her with unusually clear eyes.
This made Aunt Mei particularly touched and even respected.
"Mr. Riddle." Director George stepped forward to shake hands with Tom.
Tom discovered Director George's secret with just one glance at him.
No wonder the master cares so much about this guy. It turns out that this family has been targeted for a long time.
"There is no need to be polite, Mr. Stacey. I do have something I want to talk to you about in person when I visit today."
The two sat down, and the "three little ones" stood aside.
"Gwen has told me that magic in Hogwarts can freely enter and leave the blocked area..." Director George got straight to the point. He felt that the principal of the dignified magic school came specially for a "home visit" and was definitely out of touch with this matter. No relationship.
"Gwen, Peter, and Ned are very talented and work hard. They are currently the only three American students in the school who have mastered 'Apparition'." Tom also pointed out the key.
Director George was silent for a moment, looked up and looked directly into Tom's deep gaze, and asked tentatively: "Can they freely choose their stance? Or do they have to obey Hogwarts' stance?"
Now The whole world knows that the United States is blocked by a mysterious membrane. Even the Americans in the blocked area know that people outside have discovered that they are being blocked after seeing several nuclear bombs that exploded at high altitude.
Even the most proud weapons of mankind cannot break through this membrane. The Americans in the blockade area are gradually despairing of getting out of trouble. But now, a method has emerged that can take people in and out of the blockade area. Anyone with normal thinking knows this method. value.
If the news is made public, the Americans in the blockade will definitely pounce on the "three little ones". The big American figures who have fled abroad will also try their best to negotiate with Hogwarts. After all, this is a The whole country, they are absolutely willing to pay a big price.
We are all adults, and we are not so naive as to think that the magicians at Hogwarts should help Americans for free.
Tom Riddle would make a special trip to negotiate with himself, obviously he had his own requirements for the "three little ones".
"Hogwarts does have its own position, but the school will not force them to make choices against their will." Tom took out his staff and sprayed a cloud of mist from the front, projecting a picture of Houston.
"The school has some understanding of the character of the three children, and also understands the actions of Director George. I know that you are all kind-hearted people."
Looking at the picture projected in front of me, Director George He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Is this the position of Hogwarts?" "It seems that the rumors are true. Among the students enrolled in the magic school in the past two years, children from poor families account for the majority."
“It’s hard to believe, don’t the magicians in ancient legends prefer students with noble backgrounds?”
“Because my Hogwarts is different from some magic schools that only focus on blood! "Principal Tom is very proud now.
Although the master's request goes against his previous pursuit of "pure blood theory", consider that Dumbledore's Hogwarts is still shackled to traditional aristocrats or magical family backgrounds, but he broke the tradition and benefited magic more widely. of civilians.
He is so awesome!
The pride of defeating Dumbledore majestically made him feel unprecedentedly satisfied.
To hell with the "purity theory"!
How can the childish Dark Lord be compared with his great Principal Tom?
"Okay..." Director George was silent for a long time, and finally made only one request: "I want to go to Houston to see it in person."
After all, seeing is believing, George wanted to see if the previous live broadcast of the real captain was correct. A show.
"Okay, I'll take them with me." Tom pointed to the "three little ones" standing aside.
A moment later, Tom brought four people to Houston.
Today, social order has been restored in Houston. Grandpas and aunts wearing red armbands patrol the streets on a daily basis. Each block is stationed with a new army that is both trained and labored. They are not the original ones. It is not an army that opposes the people, but his own sons and nephews who take the lead in participating in labor.
"This..." George couldn't believe his eyes when he saw uniformed soldiers talking and laughing with ordinary civilians, working together in the road construction team.
How the hell could this be the American army?
Although it is not as good as the country on the other side of the ocean, it has already taken some shape.
Looking again at the factories and farms that had resumed production, George fell into a long silence.
He is not considered a bourgeois class. Before that, he was considered to be a high-income middle class at most. However, due to his natural personality, he has empathy for the common people and believes that his relatives, colleagues, and neighbors are an important part of life.
He is definitely not a "refined egoist", nor is he a "rentier class" who ignores the life and death of ordinary people.
He is a rare good person in the Marvel universe.
So he was willing to take the initiative to protect these important things. He was also willing to stick to his homeland when all the top brass of the New York Police Department went abroad to seek refuge. He also tried his best to maintain the safety of New York City during the blockade. In order to obtain a valuable survival material for ordinary residents.
But what he can do is the limit. Ordinary residents in New York can only barely survive, which is completely inferior to the prosperity here in Houston.
"Take me to see the real Captain America!" After thinking for a long time, George finally made a decision.
Hogwarts chose Houston, which means letting the real Captain America master the magic of freely entering and exiting the blocked area.
Chapter 1.
Don’t worry, it will be revealed in the next chapter. Everything is done to make the United States "bathe in the fire"~
Director Lin doesn't care whether it can be reborn or not, the important thing is the process of bathing in the fire!
