Chapter 499 Alliance, Good News, Grindelwald's Expansion Plan!
Dudley offered a reasonable solution, which Dumbledore naturally complied with.
He began writing letters in response, informing the International Magic Cooperation Division of the British Ministry of Magic to prepare for the necessary negotiations.
Seeing Old Deng busy, Dali quickly selected the exchange schools in Oceania, informed Old Deng, and then opened a portal to leave the principal's office to continue his own business.
Soon, exam week was over, college awards were announced, and graduation assessments and reviews were completed.
At the end of the 1992-1993 school year, Hogwarts students achieved an unprecedented level of excellence, surpassing the previous year's overall results.
It was early July 1993.
Another summer vacation has arrived, and the students have already gone home.
After more than a month, Hagrid successfully persuaded his resurrected giant mother, rescued his bullied giant brother, and conquered the giant tribe.
Of course, Dali provided some help during this process.
After the matter was completed, Dudley did not allow Hagrid to lead the giant tribe through mountains and rivers in a ostentatious manner.
He directly used a conceptualized portal-opening spell to open a massive portal, transferring Hagrid's family and the friendly giants who had undergone ideological manipulation to Hogwarts.
The faculty and staff who stayed at Hogwarts during the summer vacation witnessed all of this.
Dudley publicly invoked the Hogwarts panconscious and signed an alliance pact with the giants.
The place to house the giants has also been prepared.
During this period, with the assistance of Professors Newt and Sprout, the area of the Forbidden Forest has been expanded.
The various saplings planted along the edge of the original Forbidden Forest, under the stimulation of the Dudley's outrageous growth spell, instantly grew into towering ancient trees over twenty meters tall, as tall as the original trees in the Forbidden Forest.
They also carved out several rivers in the forest and built a series of rugged, giant-style nests.
The giants in this world are only six or seven meters tall, and Hagrid only brought back thirty or forty giants, which were easily integrated into the expanded Forbidden Forest.
In addition, Dudley specially built a separate, extra-large house for Hagrid's family on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, right next to Hagrid's cabin.
To prevent Hagrid's two giant family members and Hogwarts teachers and students from disturbing each other in their daily lives.
Of course, the students' training in the forbidden forest is another matter entirely.
As newly added allied creatures at Hogwarts, giants, like centaurs and unicorns, are treated and obligated to serve as a force to assist students in their training within the Forbidden Forest.
Next school year, the students will have plenty of fun.
The river of time continues to flow forward.
In mid-July, the Dumbledore family celebrated a happy occasion in Godric's Hollow.
Old Deng's nephew, Aurelius, and his wife, Nagini, officially tied the knot and entered into marriage.
Old Deng personally officiated at the wedding and served as the witness.
Almost all the white wizards in the British wizarding world celebrated, and all the Hogwarts staff and faculty were present to celebrate.
White wizards from abroad also sent a lot of blessings and gifts.
The Potters and Dursleys are now both in Godric's Hollow, close to the Dumbledores' house, and the week-long feast is never a day less.
As for why this kind of banquet format appeared at the wedding of a British wizard, it was naturally Dudley's idea.
With so many wizards giving Old Deng face, a wedding that lasts only one day is really not enough.
So, at Dali's suggestion, the buffet-style cocktail party and banquet lasted for seven days, and the dance party lasted for seven nights, and it was a very lively event.
A joyous atmosphere enveloped the entire British magical community.
……
As for Grindelwald, he was naturally overjoyed for Dumbledore and his family for their happy occasion.
However, he felt pressure at the execution level of Project Sharpening Stone.
The news has already spread that seven teams from around the world will be staying at Hogwarts for exchange and study next academic year.
Grindelwald knew that the leader of the team would be an excellent and powerful wizard, which would make Hogwarts' defenses even stronger.
Of course, according to the common sense of the opposition between black and white wizards, he could have waited until the wizards who were exchanging knowledge left Hogwarts, and then launched a final battle when the defenses of Hogwarts were weakened.
The problem is that Grindelwald needs to work with Dumbledore to hone the White Wizards' skills.
Moreover, his ultimate goal is to betray the dark wizard camp and gain the recognition and support of the international white wizard community.
Grindelwald could understand what Dudley was analyzing for Dumbledore.
Therefore, he had to rise to the challenge and lead the forces he had gathered to launch a decisive and fierce attack on Hogwarts at its peak.
After some deliberation, Grindelwald ordered Ecclesia and his saints to continue expanding their influence in secret, and not to limit their targets to dark wizards in various countries.
We must seize every biological force that can be communicated with and won over.
Giants, trolls, werewolves, vampires, fairies, and various fairy variants scattered throughout the world...
They all sent people to win them over.
They were promised that once the black wizard succeeded, they would have more and better territory and would no longer be subject to the wizard's suppression and restrictions.
Currently, the saints have almost gathered up the black wizards in Europe, and the work of gathering black wizards in other continents has also made progress. The total number of saints has exceeded 10,000.
This was because during the process of gathering them together, battles broke out with white wizards from various countries, resulting in the deaths and injuries of some black wizards.
Otherwise, there would be more saints.
The total number of wizards worldwide is currently estimated to be around 400,000 to 500,000.
Excluding white wizards, evil black wizards, and underage wizards, there are only about 60,000 to 70,000 black wizards who can be killed by white wizards and won over by saints.
Taking into account those who were unwilling to join and the losses incurred during the consolidation process, under ideal circumstances, Grindelwald could ultimately have more than 40,000 saints.
Including the intelligent and magical creatures that were subsequently recruited, the force should be around 50,000.
Such a large force suddenly concentrated its efforts to deal with the British magical community, which numbered only a few thousand.
Even if the British wizarding world had resurrected white wizards who had died in the past, had magical creatures that had signed an alliance pact to help, had some powerful white wizards from abroad to assist them, and had the blessing magic of the founder of Hogwarts, wouldn't it have been an overwhelming victory?
If the Founder's Blessing spell only works on dead White Wizards and not on severely injured White Wizards.
Grindelwald thought so.
He was very concerned about the outcome of this final battle, because only if the dark wizard had an absolute advantage could his backstab be shocking and make the white wizard camp grateful.
What he didn't know was that although Dudley was very satisfied with his cooperation with the Sharpening Stone Project, he would never act out the grand drama according to the script he had conceived.
If the final outcome of the Sharpening Stone Project is Grindelwald's betrayal and desperate attempt to turn the tide, it would be far too humiliating for the Hogwarts teachers and students, and even for the entire white wizarding community.
A knife needs to be sharpened, but it shouldn't be worn down and broken.
