The prototype of the mercury statue was indeed the initiator of establishing this new wizard town. However, that was not the Minister of Magic at the time, but a low-key witch with a not-so-reputable reputation.
Oh, speaking of "low-key", this evaluation may not actually be suitable for her. Because although she had indeed kept a low profile her whole life, in the last year when she was still in the magical world, she did something great that made everyone who knew her and those who didn't know her feel the admiration and admiration of her.
Unfortunately, due to some very regrettable reasons, all the stories about her were hidden in the most turbulent year in the British wizarding world. And the only result of her efforts is such a magical town that has not yet been fully constructed.
As for the stories about her, few people still remember them.
"Mira... I must say that you will always be the most beautiful girl in my heart! Your beauty made it impossible for Babur, the most outstanding sculpture craftsman in the world at that time, to create a perfect shape. So he could only use flexible and constantly changing sculptures. Mercury Compromise…”
On the spire tower next to the central square of Spiral Town, a slightly stooped figure leaned out half of his body against the light of the street lamp, leaning on the railing.
To be honest, it made him look a little dangerous, as if he might fall off a tower if he wasn't careful.
But he didn't pay attention to this at all. He just cast his gaze straight towards the square and stared at the silver silhouette from a distance.
Speaking of which, Maca knew this slightly skinny man. He was Enns' old father, Mr. Tavon... Oh no, I should say, "Mr. Gunter".
This man who was somewhat lucky in the London disaster has now arrived in this town. However, he seemed to be very familiar with this small town that had never been open to the public. After arriving here, he quietly left the team and went to the tower on his own.
"Mira, you asked me to take good care of Enns, and I did it; you asked me not to go crazy in the magic world for you, and I did it... You even asked me to send Enns to your alma mater. Reading, I have done it all.”
"Now, even the town where you lost everything and even your life will be officially open to living -"
Having said this, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, shook his head and murmured:
"There are wizards, Muggles, vampires and werewolves... Although all this was achieved by a huge disaster with an outcome that no one could have predicted, but... isn't this the wonderful scene you have thought about and thought about all your life? ?”
After a few words of emotion, he chuckled, curled his lips, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Although, what's so 'wonderful' about this? I still can't figure it out... But as long as you like it, I think that's enough!"
The "Mira (nickname)" in his mouth, whose real name is Miranda, is naturally his de facto wife and Enns' mother.
For him, who had lived anonymously in the Muggle world with his mother since he was a child, he was lucky to meet such a girl who was also "abandoned" by the magical world.
However, from the day they met Miranda, they both knew they couldn't be together forever. Because Miranda had already suffered incurable injuries before escaping from the magical world.
In addition, in order to safely give birth to the child of their relationship - Xiao Ens, Miranda ultimately overdrawn her remaining vitality and left on the night of giving birth to the child.
"Mira," Old Gunter slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mercury statue in the distance and said softly, "I still clearly remember that before you were pregnant with that little thing, you brought me here to see this town. The scene of secret construction... But do you know? At that time, I just thought it was extremely ironic, but I just didn't tell you!"
"...You asked me, a 'man of the Gaunt family', to come and see this town that was forced to carry out construction in secret by 'another member of the Gaunt family'... Don't you think this is ironic enough?"
…
I remember it was 1978, that is, the year that Miranda, as the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, advocated the construction of a town where Muggles and wizards were mixed, under the influence of Lord Voldemort, who was at the peak of his power.
It has to be said that as a descendant of the ancient giant family, even after countless hybrid iterations, Miranda's giant characteristics have long been gone, but her simple but tenacious spiritual will still seems to be in the same vein as the giants.
In that era when everyone was afraid of Voldemort and didn't even dare to call him by his first name, that kind of proposal was equivalent to carrying a particularly clear flag of opposition.
And perhaps because her behavior was so radical, not even Dumbledore was able to save her, and she was attacked by Death Eaters during an initiative.
Miranda's dueling prowess and her resistance to magic inherited from the blood of ancient giants allowed her to narrowly escape from the pursuit of dozens of Death Eaters. Knowing that perhaps nothing could be done, she finally dragged her seriously injured body and hid in the Muggle world that Voldemort had not yet had time to take care of.
It was also at that time that she met Enns' father, who was also forced to hide in the Muggle world because of Voldemort.
To be honest, Miranda still didn't give up completely in the first year. While recovering from her injuries, she was still silently observing the trends in the magical world.
It was not until the British Ministry of Magic, under pressure from Voldemort, dispersed the "remnants" of advocates she had gathered and ordered the construction of Spiral Town to be terminated indefinitely. It was with great pain that she completely cut off all ties with the magical world and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her relationship with Old Gunter.
Until later, by chance, she received a handwritten letter from Dumbledore from unknown sources. Only then did she realize that the then Minister of Magic's dismissal of those advocates was actually to protect her like-minded friends.
And the most important thing is that this magical town called "Spiral Town" has actually been being built quietly and secretly...
"Dear, you see... Professor Dumbledore personally invited his friend, the famous statue maker Babur in the Indian wizarding world, to make my statue! To be honest, I am not that beautiful - those sculptors are He likes to follow his own preferences and make me so that even I can’t recognize myself!”
"Oh! My dear, look again... Look at the two bunches of mercury in the hands of my statue... They are intertwined with each other and rise slowly, and then merge together silently. This symbolizes the eventual intersection of Muggles and wizards. s future."
"So, I named this town 'Spiral Town'!"
