Chapter 572 Emergency Meeting

At the command, the magic ministers and representatives from various countries set off one after another, and gathered in the new city in just half an hour.

It was not until this moment that they truly realized the seriousness of the situation - the American wizarding world was on the brink of full exposure.

All of this, in the final analysis, is still inextricably linked to Voldemort.

After the news of Voldemort's complete destruction spread around the world, the entire wizarding world fell into an unprecedented carnival. The celebration was particularly enthusiastic in the British wizarding world, followed closely by the American wizarding world.

It can be said that ever since Voldemort killed Gilbert, the headmaster of Ilvermorny, and a large number of elite Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, this Dark Lord has become the number one public enemy of the American wizarding world.

Now that their enemy had been eliminated, American wizards could not hide their excitement and took to the streets to celebrate all night. Even the usually strict Magical Congress turned a blind eye and acquiesced to this nationwide carnival.

However, it was this brief relaxation that brought extremely serious consequences.

At first, the reveling wizards just gathered in the magical district to celebrate, but as the atmosphere became more heated, many wizards gradually lost their vigilance, and some jaw-dropping magical events ensued.

In a village outside New York, a wizard who had been drinking all night and was drunk tried to clean his cow with his wand, but accidentally cast a levitation spell on the cow. Dozens of early working Muggles watched the cow spinning in the air in the dim light.

On a magic double-decker bus, the driver and passengers were also immersed in the celebratory atmosphere. Some passengers tried to cast some spells to add to the fun, which resulted in a temporary failure of the confusion magic on the exterior of the magic bus.

When the bus suddenly appeared in the field of vision in an unreasonable way, and then deformed, accelerated, passed through the gaps in the traffic, and even passed through the wall, the Muggles who witnessed it immediately fell into panic and called the local news media hotline.

In a square in Boston, a wizard cast a Transfiguration spell at a statue in the center of the square. The statue immediately came to life, jumped off the stone base, and walked slowly among the crowd, scaring the Muggles present to scream and scatter.

In addition, there were dozens of abnormal phenomena in the eyes of Muggles. The emergence of these phenomena caused the needle of the iconic magic exposure threat level indicator in the hall of the United States Magical Congress to begin to shake violently.

From the yellow area representing warning, the pointer climbed all the way to the orange area representing serious crisis!

After realizing that the situation was getting out of control, the Magical Congress of the United States immediately dispatched Auror troops to respond.

However, the impact of Voldemort has not completely dissipated. Due to the heavy losses in the previous battle with Voldemort, the Auror team in the United States was almost broken. Most of the Aurors today are young people with little experience. Many of them have not even completed basic training and have not even carried out emergency operations a few times.

This immature team was thrown into complete chaos by the sudden incident, but they still tried their best to erase everyone's memory in order to minimize the impact.

If this incident had happened fifteen years ago, when Voldemort first fell, these young Aurors would still be able to gradually block the news and even patch up most of the loopholes with the help of the Forgetfulness Charm.

But it is now 1996, and personal cameras have become commonplace, which has led to some unusual phenomena being photographed by Muggles.

So, while the Aurors were busy cleaning up the mess, the Muggle world's media had already taken action.

A local TV station in the United States has sent journalists to the scene of the ghost bus incident to try to interview witnesses.

What's even more exaggerated is that a tabloid did not even bother to prove the truth of the matter, but directly put the photo of the walking statue on the cover, and then published a front-page report with the title "The Supernatural Truth Covered Up by the US Government!", seriously analyzing this special supernatural phenomenon.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America immediately summoned all staff members, regardless of their position, and sent them all out!

However, faced with a large number of Muggles, media, and news organizations, the situation continued to deteriorate no matter how hard they tried.

The needle of the magic exposure threat level indicator is about to break through the red alert line - that means that the American wizarding world will officially enter a full-scale state of emergency!

Faced with a situation that was getting out of control, the President of the Magical Congress of the United States had no choice but to call Sebastian's emergency contact number and ask for help. That's why Sebastian called an emergency meeting.

Of course, the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America needed to be in his home country and had no time to attend the meeting, so he could only hastily arrange for the American representative to attend on his behalf.

After learning the truth of the matter, the Ministers of Magic and representatives from various countries were shocked and angry, which led to overwhelming anger when the American representatives arrived at the conference hall.

"What on earth are you, the Magical Congress of the United States of America, doing?" The French Minister of Magic was the first to speak up, his tone full of disbelief.

The representative of the German Ministry of Magic spoke coldly: "There are risks of magic exposure caused by carnivals all over the world, but only your situation is so serious that the entire wizarding world will have to pay for your negligence!"

The Italian magic representative pounded the table angrily: "Do you, the American Magical Congress, really intend to let wizards all over the world bear the consequences of your incompetence?"

The Russian Minister of Magic said coldly: "If the wizarding world is really exposed, you, the Magical Congress of the United States of America, must bear full responsibility!"

For a moment, the entire conference hall was filled with accusations and scolding. The American representative blushed and tried several times to defend his country, but faced with the facts, he had no way to refute.

Of course, accusations alone cannot solve any problems. After venting some of their anger, these most powerful people in the magic world began to discuss the specific measures to be taken next.

When Sebastian arrived, he saw Amelia standing outside the conference room.

"Amelia, why don't you go in?"

Amelia rubbed her brows and said with a hint of fatigue: "It was very noisy inside, I came out to get some fresh air."

"Any useful news?"

Amelia shook her head helplessly, her face solemn, and said, "Unfortunately, this crisis came too suddenly. No one was mentally prepared for the exposure of the wizarding world, so there was nothing much to say after all the arguing. Most Ministers of Magic are prepared to choose a conservative strategy."

Sebastian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Conservative strategy?"

"We try to suppress the information as much as possible, completely block the Muggle media, and intensify the memory tampering." Amelia sighed, "To put it bluntly, we are just continuing to use the old methods...but times have changed. Whether we can really block it depends on luck."

Hearing this, Sebastian just smiled lightly, looking calm, as if the crisis of survival of the wizarding world before him was just an ordinary problem.

He raised his hand slowly and pushed the door of the conference hall.

"In this case, let's discuss a truly feasible plan..."
