Harry Potter and the Deep Freeze

The First Global Meeting

The enchanted mirrors flickered to life in Harry's office, their smooth surfaces shimmering as they connected sanctuaries from across the globe. Each leader's image appeared in a separate pane, forming a grid that stretched across the large mirror on the wall.

It was the first official meeting of the sanctuary leaders, a moment that felt monumental in the face of the frost's relentless advance.

Harry stood at the head of the table in the room, flanked by Luna, Neville, Percy, and Draco. Fred and George had set up the technical enchantments to ensure the mirrors operated smoothly, while others worked to prepare the agenda.

"Welcome, everyone," Harry began, his voice steady but warm. "This is our first full meeting, and I can't thank you enough for being here. We've come a long way, but there's still so much to do. Today, we'll share updates, discuss the challenges we're facing, and plan our next steps together."

Sharing Updates

Zhang Yi, the leader of the Chinese sanctuary, was the first to speak. His image flickered slightly before stabilizing.

"Our sanctuary continues to grow," he reported. "The Ranking Crystals you sent have been invaluable for organizing our efforts. We've established teams for farming, defense, and education. However, we're facing a shortage of medical supplies, and the frost seems to be advancing faster in our region."

Harry nodded, taking notes. "We'll prioritize sending medical shipments your way. I'll have Luna coordinate with you on that."

Next, Natalia Ivanova from the Russian sanctuary provided her update. "The frost is encroaching on our borders, but our wards are holding. The Core Crystals have helped us identify leaders and healers, which has strengthened our community. However, the frost is affecting our transportation routes, and we may need to rely more on magical methods to bring in supplies."

"We'll adjust the supply chain," Percy said, his quill moving rapidly across a scroll. "If anyone has extra transportation enchantments or tools, we can coordinate a transfer."

Each leader took their turn, highlighting successes, challenges, and the growing unity within their sanctuaries.

Discussing the Crystals

When the updates were complete, Harry brought up the next topic. He held up the large Core Crystal and Ranking Crystal, their surfaces glowing faintly.

"These crystals have become essential for our sanctuaries," he said. "They help us understand our strengths and organize our communities. If the new sanctuaries don't have these yet, I suggest we prioritize getting them shipped out immediately."

A leader from South America nodded. "We received ours just a few days ago. They've already made a difference. People are stepping into roles they didn't realize they were suited for."

Natalia agreed. "The crystals aren't just tools—they're a way to build trust. People feel seen and valued when their potential is acknowledged."

"Then it's settled," Harry said. "We'll make sure every sanctuary has a set of crystals and the resources to use them effectively."

Forming a Government

As the conversation progressed, it became clear that the sanctuary leaders were doing more than just coordinating efforts—they were laying the foundation for a new form of governance.

"We're not just running sanctuaries," Zhang Yi said thoughtfully. "We're forming a global network. If we're going to survive this frost—and whatever comes after it—we need to be united."

Natalia added, "We need a way to make collective decisions, resolve disputes, and ensure resources are distributed fairly. This isn't just about survival—it's about building a new society."

The leaders began brainstorming ideas for a governing council, discussing roles and responsibilities:

Harry Potter was unanimously chosen as the central leader, given his sanctuary's success and his extraordinary magical potential.Zhang Yi and Natalia Ivanova were appointed as regional coordinators, responsible for overseeing efforts in their respective continents.Other leaders were given specific roles based on their strengths, including logistics, communication, and defense.

"We'll call ourselves the Global Sanctuary Alliance," Harry said, his voice carrying the weight of the moment. "Our goal is simple: to protect our people, share our resources, and face the frost as one united force."

A Shared Vision

By the end of the meeting, the sanctuary leaders had not only shared updates and plans but also forged a sense of unity that transcended borders.

As the mirror screens dimmed, leaving only Harry's reflection, he felt a surge of hope. They were no longer isolated sanctuaries, each fighting for survival on their own.

They were a global community, bound by a shared purpose and a determination to overcome whatever the frost—and the Black Tower—might throw at them.

End of the Chapter

The Global Sanctuary Alliance was born, a beacon of resilience and unity in a frozen world.

And as Harry turned to his team, he knew that this was only the beginning. Together, they would shape the future—and ensure that no one faced the frost alone.
