Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Although this attack of the Death Eaters was repulsed, Hogsmeade also paid a heavy price.

More than half of the buildings in Hogsmeade, including Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse and the Owl Post Office, were completely destroyed. A large number of residents, including Mrs. Puddiffe's, were seriously injured. The number of victims is being counted.

The owl post office was directly hit by a boulder, and the owls inside suffered heavy losses.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, the situation of Hogsmeade as a whole is similar to that of a city that was bombed after World War II.

Fortunately, a downpour came in time, and the heavy rain contained the spread of the fire. After eliminating the stone man, the wizards put out the fire quickly, and then all put into intense rescue work.

ΦwΦ: "Meow Meow Meow"

Standing on the edge of the third floor of a half-collapsed house, Sheng Jiang yelled at Zhang Xu downstairs.

I don't know how Hood cultivated ginger and fish cakes. They are now performing very well in the search and rescue of cats, so Zhang Xu borrowed ginger to join the search and rescue work.

After receiving the signal, Zhang Xu quickly came to the third floor. Judging from the only remaining pink decorations on the wall and the small desk next to the wall, this is a child's room.The ceiling above the room has all collapsed, suppressing the entire room.

After feeding Jiang a small dried fish and letting him go to the ruins next door, Zhang Xu transformed into Zhang Panda, and then threw the broken beams and broken tiles downstairs where no one was confirmed.

The collapsed roof did not hold anyone down, and there was only a solid wooden bed underneath.

Lifting the wooden bed, a young mother was hiding underneath with her three-year-old daughter in her arms.

There was no shelter above, and the pouring rain quickly drenched the wife in her pajamas and the little girl in her arms, and the cold rain made them shiver.

"Coat Flying"

The two coats in the ruins downstairs immediately flew into Zhang Xu's hands.

“clean and clean”

"Waterproof and moistureproof"

After drying the two overcoats with magic spells and making them into temporary raincoats, Zhang Xu put them on for his wife and Lori, and then used magic spells to dry the rainwater off their bodies.

"Madam, are you and the child uncomfortable?" Zhang Xu asked.

The lady didn't seem to have recovered from the huge blow, she just shook her head blankly.

Zhang Xu brought their mother and daughter to the ground, and then shouted to the side: "Luna, come and take this lady and her daughter to the resettlement site."

Luna, who was searching for survivors next door with Sheng Jiang, ran over in a hurry, hugged the shivering little Lori with one hand, and led her wife to the resettlement site for the victims outside the village.

After sending the mother and daughter away, Zhang Xu wiped off the accumulated water on his face, whether it was sweat or rain, and then heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them are the last survivors in this block.

After the Hogsmeade tragedy, Professor McGonagall immediately ordered the sixth and seventh grade students of Hogwarts to join the rescue operation with the tents and sleeping bags that the school had stockpiled.

And Hogwarts' special protected animal, Harry Potter, has already been stuffed into the secret room, under the strict supervision of several professors.

A tent has already been set up in the open area of ​​Hogsmeade towards Hogwarts. The flag of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds is hanging on the flagpole in the middle of the tent area. drooping at the top of the flagpole.

The resettlement site is built on a temporary earth platform that is nearly one meter higher than the surrounding ground. The rainwater flows along the drainage ditch on the earth platform to the surrounding ground, preventing the accumulated water from pouring into the tent.

Luna just walked to the soil with her mother and daughter

On the stage, Hannah hurried over to pick them up.

Hannah brought the mother and daughter into a warm tent. The rain made the tent crackle, but the tent was as warm as spring without any dampness.

Two St. Mungo's medical doctors who came to support were doing a simple bandage to the first wounded who had only suffered a slight injury. The mother and daughter sat in a line on chairs beside them.

After the medical doctor did a simple examination on the mother and daughter and found that they were not injured except for some colds, and gave each of them a bottle of medicine to treat colds, Hannah took the mother and daughter to another room with a large space inside. inside the tent.

This tent is used to house the victims. Several families of female victims have already come inside. Most of the adults among them are sitting silently at the table in the middle of the tent. They are obviously in shock, and the children are already on the sidelines. fell asleep in his sleeping bag.

Hot firewood was burning in the firepit in the center of the tent. The firewood not only increased the temperature in the tent, but also hung a steaming kettle above it.

After seeing a newcomer coming in, Ginny picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot milk for the mother and daughter.

When Hannah was about to return to the tent of the medical doctor at St. Mungo's Hospital, she saw several people rushing towards Hogwarts carrying a stretcher.

Those were the seriously wounded who were being transferred to Hogwarts, where they would receive further treatment from other medical practitioners in the castle.

After Luna sent the people to the resettlement site, she returned to the block just now. She saw Zhang Xu squatting beside the ruins and was carefully busy, so she walked over.

A victim unfortunately failed to escape from the house when the boulder fell. At this time, Zhang Xu was stripping the crushed and burned body from the wreckage as completely as possible, and then collected it in the In the body bag already prepared.

After hearing footsteps approaching, Zhang Xu turned around and saw Luna coming.He gestured to Luna to drive her away, and then told her to go back to the settlement to help.The next job of collecting the remains of the victims is not suitable for a young girl like her, so it is better for Zhang Xu to let her go.

In the back garden of a house that has fallen into ruins, a pit made by a stone man in the dirt is filled with stagnant water again.

At this time, the rain that had been raining all night had stopped, and the accumulated water in the pit slowly returned after being drained.

Zhang Xu sat on the ruins not far away, lit a cigarette and looked at the sky starting to light up in the east.

The two bodies he collected in that footprint pit just now were the last remains of the victims found in the entire Hogsmeade. They were a pair of unfortunate father and his child.

Zhang Xu thought of many ways, but in the end he still couldn't separate the two of them.

At this time, a person was sitting beside Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu turned his head to take a look. The person who came was Helen, the owner of this house.When Zhang Xu first came to Hogwarts, she was in the seventh grade, and the two of them were just nodding friends in Ravenclaw College. Not long after she graduated in the second year, she married her boyfriend who was two years older than herself.She is now working at Wizards Weekly, and she escaped unharmed by working overtime last night, but her husband and child were unfortunately killed.

Helen reached out to the cigarette case in Zhang Xu's hand with trembling hands, and tried several times but failed to extract the cigarettes inside.

Zhang Xu helped her take out a cigarette, lit it and stuffed it between the index finger and middle finger of her left hand.

She only took a deep breath, and then sat there motionless, letting the snow-white cigarette in her hand turn into a long length of ash.

"Thank you for taking them." Helen couldn't continue speaking halfway.

"My condolences." Zhang Xu said softly.

Helen sat there and wept silently, the tears dripped continuously from her jaw like a faucet with a water valve turned on.

Today, grief and tears enveloped Hogsmeade.
