Ilvermorny's Great Crisis
A group of wizards ran wildly towards the playground.
Putting aside his Asia appearance, just looking at his wand in his right hand and his Japan sword in his left, with his samurai-like demeanor, one could tell he was a teacher at Japan Mahoutokoro.
One of the male sorcerers, with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle, said in a low voice in Japanese:
"Mr. Nemoto, are we really going to help Ilvermorny defend?"
I heard the Scourers are really powerful; they almost bombed New York last time.
Before Vice Principal Ichiro Nemoto could speak, the man with the gourd-shaped hairpin standing to the side had already angrily shouted:
"They deserved to be bombed! Our great Japan is in this state because of the United States."
He comes from Muggle family; his family used to be wealthy because they received compensation for their property being demolished and made a living by collecting rent.
Unexpectedly, the signing of the Hiroshima Agreement caused housing prices to collapse.
He also tried to give up, but it said above: accepting your fate is fine, but giving up is not!
Therefore, he harbors a deep resentment towards the United States.
"And then there are the two thousand United States soldiers stationed at the Okinawa base. Last time they partied all night, singing and making merry the whole way," complained an Okinawa shaman.
"They not only revel Nemoto-san themselves, but also have a serious impact on the Muggle around them."
Taking advantage of their freedom from the law, they arbitrarily beat and verbally abused pedestrians, made loud noises, and even broke into residential homes to cause disturbances.
Vice Principal Ichiro Nemoto, a pro-American wizard, quickly rebuked him:
"Watanabe-kun, don't talk nonsense. This is completely untrue. Don't incite ethnic conflict. This is fake news... it's South Korea news!"
Don't ask, it's just Republic of Hell news, and Japan and the US are like family, and the soldiers are all law-abiding citizens.
"Indeed, this kind of thing only happens in South Korea, not in Japan," several wizards agreed.
Vice Headmaster Nemoto comforted him:
"Don't be afraid. When the time comes, let those black guys charge in front. There are more wizards in Uagadou, so we can stay in the back and deal with the Scourers."
"Hey!"
"Spalashi!"
"Nemoto-san, you're so smart! I support you becoming the principal after he retires!"
Ichiro Nemoto was also somewhat smug. He was about to say a few more polite words when he suddenly looked to the side.
A group of Black students rushed over, their skin so dark they blended into the night, and were not noticed until they were seen.
But Ichiro Nemoto didn't pay any attention; he thought that Uagadou's students had gone to hide in the magic protection cave.
He was even somewhat disdainful that there was no teacher leading the group, nor Professor Ilvermorny to guide them.
Unlike their students, who hid immediately.
See, Ilvermorny and his group of United States, we're still closer to them.
Just as the two groups of wizards were about to miss each other, the leader of the wizards suddenly roared to the sky, his body twisting and transforming into a large gray wolf.
Werewolf...?
But it's not a full moon tonight, so why did he transform?
Ichiro Nemoto, or rather all the Japan wizards, could react, they saw the group of students begin to Transfiguration.
Bison, lions, elephants, kangaroos... and even a pack of hyenas, seemingly preparing to attack.
It turns out they weren't Werewolf... but rather Animagus!
Ichiro Nemoto found it hard to believe, considering that there were only eleven registered Animagus individuals in Japan.
But the group of wizards in front of them consisted of more than eleven people, and they were all students of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The lead gray wolf, accompanied by a pack of ferocious beasts, charged forward, ready to slaughter.
Because the distance was so close, the Japan wizards were caught off guard. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight wizards were knocked to the ground!
Before he could fully react, Ichiro Nemoto was hoisted into the air by a wild bull's horn.
Watanabe was slapped on the head by a tiger, and his head spun 360 degrees.
After attacking the group of wizards, the animals ran off in other directions.
The night grew deeper.
Eulalie Hicks stood in front of the Great Hall, feeling a chill run down his spine, and his unease grew stronger.
He was still waiting for news, waiting for good news from Fontana... and Fontana finally arrived.
But this time, the news brought back was still bad.
This bad news almost sent Hicks to meet her Death.
"The wizards of Uagadou launched a surprise attack on our wizards, and together with the Scourers, they caused numerous casualties..."
Hicks felt dizzy, and with trembling hands, he supported Fontana to keep from falling.
"What did you say? Uagadou betrayed us?"
"Yes, Principal!" Fontana said sadly, "And their students, using Animagus to turn into animals, rampage through the school."
The Japan wizards at the Mahoutokoro have all been wiped out... Headmaster, Headmaster! Are you alright?
Hicks clutched his chest, quickly swallowed a few nitroglycerin pills, and then sat down on the cold ground.
He wasn't surprised that the students had become Animagus.
Wizards at the Uagadou School can generally freely use Animagus.
After all, these Africa blacks usually come into contact with animals and live close to nature, and some have even had close encounters with chimpanzees.
For example, HIV, which is well-known in Muggle, originated from gorillas in Africa, and was transmitted to humans through blood contact.
It was precisely because the wizards of Uagadou were so powerful that he sought their help.
Unexpectedly, they betrayed us at the crucial moment.
Hicks remained silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said in an aged voice:
"Go quickly and fetch Professor Targaryen! Go now!!"
Babbling was also puzzled as to why Principal Hicks had suddenly sought her out.
She was still a little guilty; she had just conspired with Tom when the real culprit showed up at her door.
Have we discovered something?
However, Babbling remained unfazed; her centuries of experience had not been in vain.
Not to brag, but the old Veela's menstrual flow combined is more than William has ever drunk water; she's seen it all.
She asked directly, "Principal, what do you need me for? I'm busy with the battle."
Hicks, however, looked Babbling up and down and began to appeal to her emotions:
"Back then, it was Albus introduced you here, and I never interfered with you. You could come and go as you pleased in all parts of Ilvermorny..."
Back then, after Tom resurrected in the diary, Dumbledore immediately deduced:
He will most likely come to Ilvermorny to find the Slytherin's Wand.
When Hicks was young, he was a member of the International Contact Station established by Dumbledore.
This International Contact Station predates the Order of the Phoenix and was established to counter Grindelwald.
When Hicks was young, he was Dumbledore, but now he's headmaster Ilvermorny.
Dumbledore introduced a wizard to Ilvermorny.
Otherwise, how could Babbling, with William's face and at such a young age, have successfully entered Ilvermorny and become Ancient Runes teacher?
Hicks was unaware of Babbling's true identity or her relationship with the Stark.
Of course, he didn't think the Targaryen were William Stark either, after all, the latter had been building his reputation all over the world.
That's not important... what's important is that Targaryen was introduced by Dumbledore.
By trusting the old man, he also trusted the Targaryen.
Furthermore, considering his heroic actions in the New York incident, saving so many young wizards and thwarting the Scourers ' plot, he is even more trustworthy.
Therefore, Hicks decided to make a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes, entrusting the safety of the Snakewood to the young man before him.
"I know your strength, and I trust you, Professor Targaryen," Hicks said earnestly.
"Now the Scourers want to steal that Snakewood."
I need you to protect it, and not let anyone take it away, understand?
"..."
One she was given to seize, the other to protect... Isn't that a coincidence?
Did Hicks and Tom mention what they had agreed upon?
Seeing that Targaryen remained silent, Hicks told her some earth-shattering news:
"You must protect the Snakewood; you can't let anyone take it away."
Because Ilvermorny sits on Greylock.
This mountain is an active volcano. It was the Snakewood that took root and prevented it from erupting.
Once the Snakewood is uprooted, the entire volcano will erupt, Ilvermorny... will be gone!
"..."
(ps
The fact that everyone in Uagadou Animagus is not something I made up. It's a setting added by Rowling:
"At the International Animagus Symposium held between 2015 and early 2016, the delegation from the Uagadou School attracted a lot of media attention."
Many older, more experienced sorcerers and witches felt threatened by a group of fourteen-year-olds who could transform into elephants and cheetahs at will.
That's how Rowling set it up.
The school of Uagadou is really strong; they are experts in Wandless Magic.
In the original book, Dumbledore lost his position as Supreme Mugwump, and his successor, Akinbade, came from Uagadou.
