MTL - Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord-Chapter 20 Classical Magic and the 'Out of Control' Threat
At half past one in the afternoon, an hour and a half after being forced to stop, the train started again.
President Dippet and Professor Dumbledore reassured the students successively and promised to give the results of the investigation as soon as possible.
Professor Hopes Joyce had already treated Qin Weijie's shoulder for the first time. Although the broken bones had been repaired, Qin Weijie still felt a dull pain in his left shoulder.
There was also a small interlude during the treatment.
That is when Qin Weijie heard that Professor Hopes Joyce was the dean of Hufflepuff, he unconsciously remembered the reminder from Senior Parish before he died.
Be careful... Hufflepuff...
Qin Weijie was extremely resistant to Professor Hopkins Joyce for a time, for fear that the professor was also a hidden killer.
But fortunately, this is just Qin Weijie's unfounded worries.
Professor Hopkins Joyce also noticed Qin Weijie's refusal to be cautious, but Professor Joyce didn't care, he just thought that Qin Weijie was frightened after being in danger.
For the rest of the journey, Qin Weijie did not go to find Tom, but stayed in the cabin under the strict protection of President Armando Dippet, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Hopkins Joyce.
Since Qin Weijie and Professor Dumbledore are more familiar, Professor Dumbledore accompanied Qin Weijie along the way.
Qin Weijie briefly explained to Dumbledore the cause and effect, and he also seemed extremely sorry for Professor Dumbledore's death of Senior Parish.
"Paris Ruffin is a very gifted child. If fate didn't let him encounter these hardships, I think he should be an excellent scholar in the future." Dumbledore said with a sad face. "Last year he When I passed the O.W.L exam, they asked me if I could apply to stay in school to continue my academic research..."
"I heard that Senior Paris has a younger sister."
"Irina Ruffin, a poor child. She was in the carriage not far away, and Professor Joyce told me that she was not very well, she had passed out from crying twice, and that child was in this world. There are no relatives anymore."
"How will the school handle this situation?"
"There is an institution dedicated to taking in orphans of wizards. You also know that the whole world has been raging with war in recent years, and many children have become orphans. The Ministry of Magic has funded the establishment of such an institution, but the conditions there must not be very good. It is gratifying. Yes, Hogwarts does not need tuition fees, and Irina will meet her friends at school, and I hope she can get out of the shadows quickly."
"How is the school going to explain this? I don't think the principal would directly state that Senior Paris was instructed to assassinate me, right?"
Qin Weijie asked, Dumbledore fell silent, and tapped his **** on his thigh for a while.
"You can rest assured about your identity. The school will not announce it. As for how to explain this, I think it's better to wait until after the school and listen to Principal Dippet's explanation."
Dumbledore smiled kindly, obviously not intending to continue discussing this issue.
Qin Weijie was also very acquainted and stopped talking, but turned his head and asked Dumbledore about magic learning.
Time passed quickly, the train was about to enter Hogsmeade Village, and Qin Weijie had already changed into his wizard robes.
"It looks pretty good." Dumbledore looked at Qin Weijie and nodded
"It feels weird." Qin Weijie was still a little uncomfortable: "By the way, professor, is there a necessary connection between the four elements of magic we discussed just now and the branch?"
"The element attribute is indeed a measure of the sorting hat's allocation of students, but it is not the most important. It is also very common for students with different attributes to enter the same college. The distribution of element attributes belongs to the category of classical magic, and the development of contemporary magic theory is still considerable. , the exclusion caused by element attributes can already be avoided."
"Rejection of elemental attributes? Classical magic? Contemporary magic?"
Qin Weijie looked at Dumbledore in confusion, waiting for an answer.
"We don't have much time, so I can briefly say it. Elemental attributes are mutually reinforcing, and there is bound to be a situation of repulsion. For example, water and fire are opposed to each other. Therefore, in ancient times, wizards with fire attribute magic would not try to use water attribute magic, because it would Cause magical conflict, and even backlash will occur in serious cases."
"And it doesn't matter to wind and earth attribute magic, the wind attribute can actually strengthen the fire attribute, while the earth attribute is in harmony with the fire attribute, neither strengthening nor conflicting."
"As for classical magic and contemporary magic, the explanation is extremely complicated. To put it simply, contemporary magic is a simplified version of classical magic. Classical magic is too cumbersome. Although many magic spells are extremely powerful, they are easy to cause 'out of control'. Contemporary magic has removed the parts that are easily out of control in classical magic, and is more stable, but it also lacks the original power of magic, but compared with the terrible 'out of control', contemporary magic is more practical and safe."
"Is it scary to be out of control?" Qin Weijie continued to ask with hot eyes.
Dumbledore looked at the time: "You are really a curious child, but what you want to know is completely beyond the outline, I believe that even if you graduate from Hogwarts, you don't need to cover these knowledge, we have a chance After discussing these interesting topics, you should be ready to get out of the car."
…
After getting off at Hogsmeade Village Station, Qin Weijie heard a familiar line.
"First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!"
A lame middle-aged sloppy uncle wrapped in a heavy and out of place fur coat looked a bit sharp. At this time, he lit his wand and waved it in front of him, signaling the first-year students to gather at him.
Qin Weijie mixed in with the crowd and followed the light forward.
"Wang~"
A black chubby Tibetan Mastiff squeezed out of the crowd.
"Why don't you see Tom?"
"Wang~"
Following the barking of Ergou, Qin Weijie saw that Tom was marching forward surrounded by a group of people, during which he was talking like a leader.
Qin Weijie didn't bother Tom, but quietly followed the crowd, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
After many assassinations, Qin Weijie deeply understood the essence of Gou Zi Jue, and low-key is king.
After walking along a small road for about ten minutes and turning a corner, Qin Weijie saw Hogwarts for the first time.
Across the black lake, looking at the huge castle on the hillside in the distance.
Qin Weijie believes that this is much more shocking than watching a movie in his previous life.
The quaint gothic castle, ancient and mysterious, has an irresistible charm.
In terms of area, it should be comparable to Foley Castle, but the styles of the two castles are worlds apart.
Foley Castle is gloomy and oppressive, but Hogwarts Castle is mysterious, solemn, and simple.
The freshmen came to the edge of the Black Lake one after another, where a lot of boats were docked.
Every four freshmen take a small boat. Qin Weijie looked at it at this time. There should be close to thirty or forty people in the first class. Ten boats are enough to carry the students across the Black Lake, and there is even a surplus.
Qin Weijie nestled at the back, trying to keep a low profile.
Watching the students get on the boats, Qin Weijie and Ergou got on the last boat.
There was only a timid little girl sitting on the boat at this time, and Qin Weijie consciously sat opposite the little girl.
The second dog was lying between the two of them, and his breathing was a little short. It was obvious that the second dog was afraid of water. .
"Sit tight~ Don't fall, I don't want to go to the underground of the Black Lake and ask those mermaids for your corpses!"
The leading lame Sharp Brother should be called Uncle Sharp if he is not at this age.
Uncle Sharp shouted loudly, the boat moved by itself, and all the students looked up at Hogwarts curiously.
Qin Weijie looked at the girl opposite and nodded politely: "Hello, I'm Weijie Qin, you can call me Weijie."
The girl ignored it and continued to lower her head, tears dripping on the boat.
"Strange girl~" Qin Weijie sneered inwardly, and stopped making fun of himself.
Not long after, all the new students came to the houseboat, and under the leadership of Uncle Sharp, they started to climb up the stairs.
To be honest, Qin Weijie was already feeling hungry and his chest was sticking to his back, and now even climbing the stairs has some difficulty.
But after looking at the other students, Qin Weijie found that he was already in good shape.
The girl who was crying alone was at the end of the team, three or four meters away from Qin Weijie.
Seeing her staggeringly walking, Qin Weijie was really afraid that she would fall.
Walk through the stairs and enter an oak gate, directly opposite the gate is a luxurious marble staircase that leads directly upstairs.
After Uncle Sharp's explanation, the place they came to at this time was the entrance hall of Hogwarts.
There is a double door on the right side of the hall. Qin Weijie can clearly hear the noise inside. Many students have already entered. There should be the legendary auditorium.
Uncle Sharp sent the students to the hall and left. At this time, a man in his thirties, dressed in a gorgeous wizard's robe, dressed more delicately than a woman, appeared in front of the auditorium.
"Grace Lester, your spell professor, head of Ravenclaw, and vice-principal of Hogwarts."
The man opened his mouth, as if he was introducing himself to the students, and at the same time he was talking to himself. He never lowered his head to look at the group of freshmen from beginning to end.
"Go to the waiting room and start the sorting ceremony later." Professor Lester turned his head and left.
This Nima is arrogant and arrogant, and with this attitude, it's a real religious style! Are you sure you're not related to Severus Snape?
No, Sijiao shouldn't be born yet... Maybe he really is from Sijiao... Grandpa? Grandpa?
Just as he was thinking, a chubby and transparent figure suddenly appeared in the wall behind Qin Weijie - the ghost of Hogwarts.
"Aha! Cough... As freshmen, you are going to have a sorting ceremony soon, so you need to organize your appearance." The chubby ghost pretended to be deep.
Qin Weijie suddenly remembered something in his heart. The most troublesome thing in Hogwarts is nothing but a ghost. Peeves, the ghost of Gryffindor, is known for his love of mischief and death.
Thinking of this, Qin Weijie couldn't help but be cautious.
Sure enough, everything was as he expected. While all the freshmen were grooming, the chubby ghost got a pile of dirt out of nowhere and started smashing at the freshmen.
Qin Weijie wanted to dodge with his own skills, but then two words "low-key, stay" appeared in his mind.
Afterwards, Qin Weijie simply stopped evading and let Peeves mess around.
Finally, Professor Grace Lester came back and drank Peeves.
But almost everyone is disgraced by the mischief of this wicked ghost.
Seeing this scene, Grace Lester couldn't help shaking his head, and his subtext was clearly: "You guys are the worst class I've ever had..."
On the other hand, there were a few children who didn't touch any dirt on their bodies.
It was these children who were just showing their amazing magical talents. They avoided the attack of the ghost Peeves in different ways.
And the brightest among them is Tom.
Although the others escaped the attack, they were somewhat embarrassed, but Tom was still bright and spotless.
"Tom, I'll give you ninety-five points for this pretending!"
Qin Weijie wiped the muddy water on his body, thinking in his heart that he must give a lesson to that hateful Peeves when he finds an opportunity. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
"Come in with me! Form a line." Professor Lester said, turning his head to lead the way.
Many students have been scared to go to school by Professor Lester's teaching style. Qin Weijie can bet that at least half of the people here have a psychological shadow on this professor.
Walking into the auditorium, it was really loud with gongs and drums, firecrackers blared, red flags fluttered, and the crowd was full of people.
The splendid auditorium has a huge space, and the ceiling is arranged into a bright starry sky and the Milky Way, which looks full of mysterious charm.
The freshman was led to a four-cornered stool on which an extremely worn gray pointed wizard hat was placed.
Seeing the freshmen come in, all the teachers and students in the school looked at the broken hat.
At this moment, the hat grinned and let out a laugh, and then started his performance on his own:
I am older than you think,
I have seen classical magic,
cumbersome, dangerous, and mysterious
I also saw the progress now.
Rigorous, stable and practical
I have crossed the river of time,
Witnessed the growth of countless outstanding wizards,
I am the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts,
My fiery eyes will see through your essence,
I will assign you to the appropriate college,
Ask yourself first,
Where do you want to go?
Gryffindor?
brave lion
with a fiery flame,
His gift is in the school
Give you the courage, courage and chivalry to go forward,
Hufflepuff?
tough badger
Carrying the weight of the earth,
There is something you want in the dungeon
With tenacity, honesty and kindness
Maybe you want to go to Ravenclaw?
wise eagle
Hold up the creed of the blue sky
Countless secrets are waiting for you
to solve the riddle,
You will become a shrewd, wise and learned person
oh oh oh~
Don't forget the noble Slytherin,
the dreaded snake,
Pursue the will of flowing water,
The black lake carries ambition and eternal secrets,
You are the most honorable masters of this era,
You know what you want, and you know how to get it,
What Slytherin sees,
at all costs.
bring it on! Take me with you!
Let me continue to witness the great era!
Let me continue to witness the hope of the future!
Let's choose your future!
Hat finished singing the ugly song, at least Qin Weijie thought so.
Whether it was out of curiosity or caution, Qin Weijie actually wrote down the lyrics of the Sorting Hat, and four of them caught his attention.
'Gryffindor, his gift is in the school. ’
'Hufflepuff, the dungeon has what you want. ’
'Ravenclaw, countless secrets await you to solve puzzles. ’
'Slytherin, Black Lake holds ambition and eternal secrets. ’
Qin Weijie pondered these four sentences repeatedly, but was attracted by the sorting ceremony, and finally decided to ignore these brain-burning issues for the time being.
"Sit up when you read the name." Professor Lester followed the end of the Sorting Hat singing, as if he couldn't stand the unpleasant singing anymore.
"Dewey Leonard!"
A silly little fat man sat on a four-cornered stool with a hat on his head.
After a few seconds, the hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"
"Dobin Campbell!"
The child's time was a bit long, and it took ten seconds for UU to read www.uukanshu.com before the response came.
"Hufflepuff!"
"Tom Riddle!"
For Tom, Qin Weijie doesn't even need to look at it.
A proper Slytherin.
Qin Weijie was also thinking about whether to enter Slytherin with Tom.
In this case, he can continue to bully Tom.
"Slytherin!" No doubt about that.
After that, several children went up, both boys and girls.
Hufflepuff was the one with the most students, and nearly seven or eight students have entered Hufflepuff.
Gryffindor, there are four students.
Ravenclaw, the least number, only three.
Slytherin, selected five students one after another, listening to their surnames, they are basically old magic families.
"Irina Ruffin!"
When Professor Lester read the name, Qin Weijie was startled.
"Senior Paris' sister!"
Qin Weijie looked intently, but he was still an acquaintance, the little girl who was on the same boat with him.
Her face looked very ugly. Tears and mud stains were all over her face. She didn't even wipe the mud stains that Peeves hit on her just now.
Elena sat on the four-cornered stool like a walking corpse.
The Sorting Hat fell into silence, and it took a long time for the Sorting Hat to speak.
"Ravenclaw!"
At this time, Elena's face was a little better, and she also took the initiative to wipe the stains on her face and sat down on the long table of Ravenclaw.
Qin Weijie's eyes never left her, watching her quietly.
Qin Weijie's action of shooting appeared in his mind, as if a voice told him.
"You killed Paris Ruffin!"
