Chapter 288 Don’t disturb the sleeping dragon
Listening to the uniform slogans in the field, Sebastian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Understood!
Not a big deal.
It's either the bullshit going on in the American wizarding world or it's just historical issues.
There have always been wizards clamoring to repeal Rappaport's Law.
On the surface, the Magical Congress did repeal this law in 1965, but in fact many of its provisions were incorporated into other laws.
The Director of the Law Enforcement Department, Greggs, is a hardliner among them. He has always firmly upheld the policy of separation between the wizarding and Muggle communities.
He even has a famous statement, "Law is the cornerstone of social order, and I am the defender of the cornerstone."
The original intention of this law was good. In order to prevent the magical world from being exposed, it completely separated the wizarding world and the No-Maj world.
But the problem is that this separation is completely unrealistic.
On the surface, the American magical world has always been a union of wizards and witches, but wizards can also give birth to Dummies.
Before these Squibs grow up, they have to leave the wizarding world and go to live in the No-Maj world.
Hundreds of years have passed, and who knows how many Squibs have been integrated into the daily lives of the No-Maj people.
They get married, have children, make friends and work in the No-Maj world, just like No-Maj people. Many of them don’t even know that there were wizards in their ancestors.
But the problem is coming.
As we all know, wizards can also appear among the descendants of Squibs.
When these young wizards show their magical talent, they must be separated from their No-Maj families and friends.
In order to avoid exposing the existence of the wizarding world, Aurors from the Magical Congress would come to pick up these young wizards and then modify the memories of their families and friends.
As for these little wizards who were taken away, even when they grew up, they could not recognize their No-Maj parents.
No one can tolerate such an immoral act.
More and more wizards feel deceived, and their patience with the Magical Congress has reached its limit.
That is why many Ilvermorny students are petitioning Greggs today.
Sebastian shook his head slightly.
Although these students' methods were immature, they chose the timing well.
After all, there were so many people from international magic schools present, and numerous reporters broadcasting the event live.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, although Greggs was a little embarrassed, this guy would not take any tough attitude or measures.
If it is not handled properly, not only will the MACUSA lose face, he himself will also be impeached and lose his position in the MACUSA.
Sebastian was not optimistic about today's result. He did not think that Greggs, a tough guy, would give in to the students present.
At the same time, he was not optimistic about the future of the Magic Congress.
This sharp contradiction has been exposed to everyone, and the Magical Congress will have to give these people a satisfactory explanation sooner or later.
Sebastian speculated that this concept might have won the approval of many students in Ilvermorny.
Moreover, this concept is definitely not limited to underage students. There were many graduates shouting slogans at the scene.
This is just what can be seen on the surface.
Every year, there are graduates entering all walks of life in the American wizarding world. How many people in those industries would support this idea?
What about the Magic Congress?
Who can guarantee that there are no members in the Magic Congress who support this idea?
Sebastian began to wonder what role he would play in this incident.
After all, there is a considerable overlap between the demands of these students and my future demands to break the confidentiality law. If utilized well, these students will definitely become a great help to me in the future.
Perhaps, I can find an opportunity to contact the student named Edward in the future and provide him with some financial assistance.
If possible, it is not impossible to directly absorb the other party into your own team.
While Sebastian was lost in thought, Greggs spoke to the students expressionlessly.
"I have already understood the demands of my classmates. After returning, I will present the demands to the Legislative Council and let the officials of the Magic Congress discuss them."
"Let's all disperse."
Before he finished speaking, the Ilvermorny students below started to make a noise.
"This is a quibble. We need you to express your stance first."
"Perfunctory! There will definitely be no response when you go back."
"No-Maj-born wizards are also part of our community. Their feelings for their families are also important. Our laws cannot harm them any more."
"We need a clear answer!"
At this moment, a large number of Aurors began to enter. Some of them came to the podium and protected Greggs behind them, while the other part confronted the students in the venue.
"Students," Greggs said in a much stronger tone, "If you have any requests, you can tell the Aurors here."
"I believe they will record everything you say in detail."
Hearing these pointed words, Sebastian frowned slightly.
This is not a wise decision.
Students will just feel threatened.
At their age when they are fearless, the thing they can least accept is threats.
What's more, they are very emotional now and conflicts may occur.
As expected, the students of Ilvermorny were extremely excited and drew their wands and started cursing.
"This is a threat! This is intimidation!"
"You want to take action, right? We are not afraid of you!"
"Come on, point your spells at me and let me test the strength of your spells."
Chaos broke out in an instant.
Someone cast a spell at Greggs first. The magic light flickered in the air, like sparks falling on a dry haystack, igniting the tense situation.
In an instant, the entire venue seemed to explode, and the confrontation between students and Aurors instantly escalated into a melee.
The Aurors' already tense nerves were instantly ignited by this spell. When they saw the students taking action, they drew their wands almost reflexively and fired retaliatory spells at the young wizards.
The students witnessed the Aurors' actions and could no longer suppress their anger and dissatisfaction. They raised their wands and pointed them at the Aurors.
The venue was in chaos in an instant, spells were flying everywhere, and blazing light flashed through every corner.
From time to time, someone was hit by the random spells and fell to the ground.
In order to protect themselves, more people raised their wands and joined the melee.
Greggs' face turned green. With such a big mess happening, his career as director was coming to an end.
"Stop it all!"
"Don't use killing spells!"
He kept shouting at everyone to stop, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.
The Hogwarts group was also affected and forced to join the melee.
Sebastian and Snape protected the students in the middle, constantly blocking the incoming spells.
Harry and the others were not to be outdone and used the Shield Charm to avoid holding back the two professors.
Seeing that the chaos was about to deepen, Sebastian felt that he had to intervene before things became irreversible.
His magic power began to boil over, surging toward everyone in the audience like a huge wave.
In an instant, everyone felt as if they were being stared at by a giant dragon and that they might lose their lives at any time.
They stopped the spells in their hands and looked at the person who gave them a fatal feeling with horror.
"It's him, the leading professor of Hogwarts!"
"The boss of Swan Alchemy is so powerful?"
"Merlin's beard, his magic alone overwhelmed everyone in the audience, this is incredible!"
"Great! Someone finally put an end to this chaos. Why did a fight suddenly break out just now?"
Looking at the group from Hogwarts, the professors from various magic schools were a little dazed.
I didn’t expect that after Dumbledore, Hogwarts would have another such a powerful professor.
Moreover, those students performed very well, and each one used the Armor Spell better than the other.
It is indeed a thousand-year-old prestigious school, and its foundation should not be underestimated.
Some people vaguely remembered the ancient motto of Hogwarts -
【Sleeping Dragon Do Not Disturb】
Just as everyone was having different thoughts, Sebastian's deep voice resounded throughout the room.
"To prevent further heartache, this chaos ends here."
"I hope everyone can give me some face!"
