Harry Potter: The Last Exodus

The Gathering of Leaders

As the six-month mark arrived, a quiet buzz of anticipation filled the air across all continents. It was time for the biannual meeting in Staros, and each leader, along with their assistants, prepared for the journey back to Eldoria. Even the new leaders, Connor Greengrass of Nythoria and Tonya Granger of Faemorne, were invited to join the gathering, eager to share the early developments of their new lands.

The leaders arrived throughout the morning, each taking their seats in the Wizengamot Hall. Harry Potter, Grand Sorcerer of Mystvale, nodded to each of them as they entered, a welcoming smile softening his typically focused expression.

Connor and Tonya entered last, taking a moment to appreciate the grand chamber. It was their first meeting as official leaders, and their excitement was palpable. Both felt a slight tinge of nerves as they approached their seats. The other leaders looked on, curious to hear what these new communities might bring to their world.

Once everyone was settled, Harry rose and addressed the assembly. "Thank you all for coming. I know the past few months have been busy for each of you. Today, we have two new leaders joining us, and I would like to invite them to introduce their communities and share their progress."

Connor cleared his throat and nodded at Tonya before standing. "Thank you, Harry." He looked around the room, a calm confidence settling over him. "As some of you know, I lead the Monster Tale Core community on the continent of Nythoria. We've worked hard to establish a foundation that embraces our unique cores. Our main school, Monster High, is well underway and will serve as a place for our young witches and wizards to harness their powers inspired by ancient legends and creatures."

Connor continued, describing the intricate architectural designs inspired by gothic tales and the hierarchy they had put into place. "Our kingdom embraces the darkness in a way that isn't harmful but celebrates the mystique and resilience of these ancient stories," he explained. "Our core, the Monster Tale Core, gives us abilities that draw from legendary beings. It's been empowering to see our community find strength and purpose in this identity."

The other leaders murmured appreciatively, clearly intrigued by the concepts Connor was describing. When he finished, Tonya rose to speak.

"Thank you, Connor." She turned to the assembly, her voice warm and engaging. "Our continent, Faemorne, has also taken shape. We have created a land of enchantment that truly feels like something from the fairytales we embody. We're constructing Ever After High as the center of learning, a place for Fairytale Cores to study magic rooted in the stories of courage, kindness, and magic from a world long left behind."

She smiled as she continued, "The Fairytale Core gives us abilities inspired by these tales—elements of transformation, creation, and wonder. Our land feels like a living fairytale, and our people have embraced the magic within each story they carry."

Harry nodded, looking genuinely impressed. "Thank you both. It sounds like both Faemorne and Nythoria have found ways to connect deeply with their cores. I look forward to seeing how your communities grow and evolve."

With the introductions complete, the meeting moved into its main discussions. Leaders took turns reporting on the state of their continents. Malik Keita from Solaraith described new innovations in sustainable magic use, and Ming-Li from Skyreach shared updates on advancements in cultivation practices and alchemical research, including a statue of Neville Longbottom as a gesture of gratitude for his teachings.

When Gringold, Supreme King of the goblins from Veilthron, took his turn, he set down several documents. "We've recently mapped out more of our underground crystal mines. As a start-up for our economy, we're supplying the continents with the initial crystals needed for trade. Each continent now has a foundation in currency and resources to foster commerce."

Isabell Star from Brightmoor added, "On the business side, we've seen strong growth. Enterprises like Weasleys' Wizard World and the Russo family's establishments have been pivotal. But I believe more can be done to encourage trade and travel between continents."

After a few more updates, Harry introduced the topic of transportation infrastructure. "With so many continents now established, efficient travel is key. We'll need portal hubs, regular airship routes, and secure paths for our people to journey between lands."

Lord Valon of Nocthera raised a hand. "A network of secure portals would be wise. But for security reasons, I propose we centralize the primary portals here in Eldoria. They can be closely monitored, and we ensure each continent maintains its own defenses."

Draven, High Alpha of Dreadspire, nodded in agreement. "Agreed. We've worked hard to protect our lands. These travel points should be reinforced against any potential threats."

As the discussions continued, the leaders tackled topics like magical education, environmental preservation, and the potential formation of intercontinental alliances. Connor and Tonya absorbed every detail, realizing the vast coordination required to keep such a diverse world united.

Finally, after hours of discourse, the meeting came to a close. The leaders lingered briefly, exchanging ideas, making plans for future collaborations, and welcoming Connor and Tonya to the circle.

As Harry and Draco prepared to return to Mystvale, Harry glanced around the hall, a sense of pride and accomplishment filling him. Their world was flourishing, each continent evolving uniquely, yet all connected by the common goal of building a harmonious, magical realm.
