Harry Potter and the Deep Freeze

New Sanctuaries Around the World

As the days passed, the enchanted mirror in Harry's office buzzed with activity. Reports of progress, challenges, and, most thrillingly, new sanctuaries popped up across the globe. Harry worked tirelessly, not only managing his sanctuary but also ensuring the survival and success of others.

One evening, Harry stood before the mirror, listening intently as Zhang Yi from China spoke.

"We've confirmed a new sanctuary forming in Mongolia," Zhang reported. "They've managed to create a barrier using both natural and magical resources. It's smaller than ours but stable for now."

"That's incredible," Harry replied, jotting notes on a scroll. "Have they been able to establish communication with neighboring areas?"

"They're working on it," Zhang confirmed. "But your supplies and the mirrors are making a big difference."

New Sanctuaries Across the Globe

Reports continued to flood in, each one detailing the emergence of sanctuaries in the most unexpected places:

South America: A sanctuary deep within the Amazon rainforest had formed, combining ancient magical wards with the natural protection of the jungle. "The Amazon itself seems alive," Natalia Ivanova of Russia explained. "It's almost as though the land is defending itself alongside them."

Africa: In Ethiopia, a coalition of wizards, witches, and magical creatures had established a vast sanctuary near the Simien Mountains. They were working closely with centaurs and herbalists to ensure food and resource sustainability.

Australia: In the Australian Outback, a sanctuary had been built using a mix of Aboriginal magical practices and modern enchantments. Its leaders had embraced the capturing and communication mirrors, ensuring their progress could be shared with the rest of the network.

Japan: High in the mountains of Honshu, a sanctuary had appeared, protected by ancient onmyōdō magic that balanced its barrier with the surrounding environment.

Harry's Supplies

Harry ensured that each of these sanctuaries received the resources they needed. Crates of food, supplies, and capturing mirrors were shipped out regularly, with Hogwarts acting as a hub for the entire network.

"We have surplus food from the dome expansions," Harry said during a meeting with his team. "And the enchanted storage silos will keep things fresh. We'll distribute it to the sanctuaries that need it most."

Draco oversaw the logistics, working closely with Percy to ensure every crate was accounted for. Neville managed the agricultural resources, ensuring seeds, fertilizers, and magical plants were included in the shipments.

The Mirrors

Each shipment also included two critical tools:

Capturing Mirrors: These allowed sanctuaries to record and study their findings, whether it was frost activity, tower anomalies, or community progress.Communication Mirrors: Each sanctuary leader received one of these enchanted devices, allowing them to speak with the network of leaders at any time.

"These mirrors are more than tools," Harry told the other leaders during a meeting. "They're lifelines. Use them to share updates, coordinate efforts, and warn each other of any dangers."

The leaders agreed, and within days, the communication network began to take shape.

The Weasley Twins' Contribution

Fred and George were instrumental in fine-tuning the mirrors before they were shipped out. They added enchantments to ensure the devices were resilient and easy to use, even for those unfamiliar with advanced magical artifacts.

"They'll last through frost, storms, and the occasional idiot dropping one," Fred said with a grin as he handed a finished mirror to Harry.

George smirked. "We're calling it twin-tested durability."

Harry chuckled. "Let's hope the sanctuaries don't need to test that too often."

A Global Effort

Back at Hogwarts, the Great Hall was abuzz with activity as volunteers prepared shipments for the sanctuaries. Each crate was carefully packed with food, clothing, tools, mirrors, and enchanted supplies designed to withstand the harsh conditions outside the domes.

One of the sanctuary leaders contacted Harry directly via the communication mirror. "The supplies you sent are keeping us alive," they said, their voice filled with gratitude. "We've distributed the food, and the mirrors are already helping us plan."

Building Unity

By the end of the week, Harry gathered his core team in the astronomy tower, overlooking the bustling sanctuary below.

"This is working," Harry said, his voice steady. "The sanctuaries aren't just surviving—they're growing stronger. And it's because we're sharing what we have."

Luna smiled faintly. "The frost may isolate us, but these sanctuaries are connecting us in ways we've never seen before."

Percy nodded. "If we keep this momentum, we'll be ready for whatever's coming."

Harry looked out at the dome, his gaze drifting toward the distant Black Tower. He knew the frost's source still awaited them, but for now, the sanctuaries were thriving. And together, they were building a future worth fighting for.

As the stars glimmered over the sanctuary, Harry felt a deep sense of purpose. The sanctuaries weren't just surviving—they were uniting.

The frost and the Black Tower might have been formidable foes, but with each new sanctuary, the world's magic grew stronger. And Harry knew that together, they could overcome anything.
