"It's a new school year."
A cheerful Dumbledore had a smile on his face.
"Before everyone eats and drinks and prepares to go back to the dormitory to rest, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I want to tell you some of the new Hogwarts plans that will be implemented starting this year."
"Last year, I went to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and during that year, I gained a lot of new insights, and I also hope to bring back some new things. Your Professor Grindelwald should give you I have brought a whole year’s worth of fresh knowledge, so this year, it’s my turn.”
"First of all, Hogwarts will implement a credit system this year. We will abolish the ., which is the ordinary wizard level examination, and the . The certificates of these two examinations will be replaced by Hogwarts School of Magical Warfare qualification certificates for each subject level."
"Details will be introduced in detail by the deans of each college in tomorrow's classes. Please be patient."
Dumbledore gently pressed his hand to suppress the noisy discussion in the auditorium. This was Dumbledore's first step in preparing to transform Hogwarts and connect it to the 'new wizarding world'. Durmstrang's professionalism Sex education taught Dumbledore a lesson last year, but changing England's education system won't happen overnight.
“Secondly, starting from this year, we will open the exchange student program, and students in fourth grade and above can apply. After the end of this academic year, we will select a certain number of students from the application form to go to Durmstrang in the next academic year. For one-year exchange student study at other magic schools such as Beauxbatons and Beauxbatons, Hogwarts will be responsible for your living and study expenses during the exchange study period. Students including seventh grade students this year can also apply. Gwarts implements a seven-year magic education, but other schools are not like this."
The discussion was louder than before. Dumbledore waited for a moment before signaling for silence. He knew that the news was not easy to digest.
"One last thing, please welcome Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, who comes to Hogwarts this year to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts!"
Dumbledore pointed his finger to his side. Lockhart, who was wearing a shiny golden robe, had already attracted the attention of many people. After Dumbledore named him, Lockhart instantly became the center of attention. .
He showed his signature charming smile, with two rows of white and shiny teeth that seemed to be shining. Coupled with his already good-looking face, he got many little witches screaming in surprise.
Hogwarts once became Lockhart's personal star-chasing scene. After Harry abdicated, he became the most popular male character in Hogwarts this year.
Facing the angry gazes of the young boys, Lockhart waved enthusiastically to the students in the audience.
"Thank you very much Professor Dumbledore."
Harry, who was bored, entered a daze mode. With his mind empty, he ignored Lockhart's five long minutes of boasting. After all, those self-praises and useless words were written with only a few words, so it was fine not to listen.
After the golden characters flew out of Dumbledore's fingertips, the Hogwarts students who stood up opened their mouths and sang a variety of strange Hogwarts school songs. The dinner at the beginning of the school year ended with the old students taking the first step towards the heads of their respective houses. They walked to the common room, and the freshmen walked at the back of the crowd under the leadership of their prefects.
After returning to the familiar dormitory, Harry was pleasantly surprised to find that the walking grass he kept on the balcony had completely grown up. There were two specially dug holes under the flower pot, and a green curly grass stem was balled up. Blocking the entrance of the hole, when the sun rises, these grass stems will stretch out, allowing the walking grass to find a good location for sunlight anytime and anywhere.
"If it's longer, you can pinch it off and fry bacon. It's not bad."
Harry touched the tender green leaves of the walking grass with great satisfaction. As long as there is enough fertilizer, the leaves of the walking grass will grow very fast, but remember not to over-fertilize. If the walking grass does not pinch the leaves and is full of nutrients, it will bloom after it blooms. You can't eat them. Don't even try the flowers that exude a weird stench. In less than five minutes, the entire dormitory will smell worse than a latrine.
"Come on, come on, Harry, come on, I'll take you to see my little Neil."
After everyone in the dormitory was gathered, Rolf quickly called Harry over. Neville and Justin came to Roof early. The three of them sat together on the train. Rolf brought Thunderbird. They already knew about the school.
After locking the dormitory door, a rectangular suitcase was solemnly placed on the bed by Luof.
"My grandfather had a zoo-sized suitcase, but that one was too expensive. I begged for a long time before my dad got me a smaller one, but it was enough. Little Neil can't fly yet. It doesn’t take much space.”
After Rove opened the suitcase, a wooden trap door was exposed. After opening the lid of the trap door, Rove quickly climbed down from the wooden ladder inside. Neville looked excited. , Justin entered one after another. When it was Harry's turn, he looked at the somewhat narrow entrance suspiciously. Neville could barely squeeze in, but with his own body,
"I hope you don't get stuck at the door, that would be embarrassing."
With a cheerful smile, Harry held the ladder and went down. The narrow entrance, which was definitely no wider than his own shoulders, would not block his entry. It was like passing through a somewhat tight rubber pipe. The elastic entrance was enough to pass several times. Objects twice the size come in and out.
The space inside the completely inconspicuous suitcase is surprisingly large. There are at least five or six dormitory-sized spaces that are not cramped at all. There is a beautiful starry sky on the ceiling that is at least fifteen meters high. It is a magical image, and some Magic ceiling similar to the Hogwarts Great Hall.
Under the feet, there is a soft lawn, surrounded by a flowing stream and a stone rockery surrounding the four walls. The three people who arrived early have already gathered in the middle, where there is a huge bird's nest, made of a A strange vine woven frame is used to create a soft and warm little home paved with twigs and feathers.
A cheerful chirping sounded from the bird's nest. Harry stepped forward quickly and saw a blue baby bird about the same size as Ji Yin, chirping and jumping around in the nest.
"Neil is cool, right!"
Rolf, who had already had his head exploded by the static electricity near the bird's nest, proudly introduced his little friend to Harry. He had already put on the thin dragon skin gloves. There was a lot of electricity flowing from the little thunderbird's body. If Without the layer of thunderbird feathers covering the nest, these currents would directly ignite the nest made of branches within a few minutes.
"Little thunderbirds can't control thunder and lightning very well. They can only barely do it after they reach adulthood. However, it is almost impossible to tame an adult thunderbird. My grandfather is the only one in the world who has succeeded. The best way is to tame an adult thunderbird." Establish a relationship with you as a child and let the magic thunder and lightning in it remember you."
"Let Raiden remember you?"
Harry asked with some confusion, "The thunderbird can't control the thunder and lightning it generates?"
"You can control part of it, but not all, at least not the lightning in my house. I heard from my grandfather that the thunder and lightning on the Thunderbird is divided into two parts. One part is transformed by magic, like a wizard casting a spell, and the other part is similar to The thunder and lightning generated by natural thunderclouds will continue to appear even if the Thunderbird does not use magic power. It will not harm the Thunderbird, but it is not completely controlled."
"I didn't understand it, but I was shocked."
Justin stared at the baby Thunderbird intently. This unlimited power mobile power bank is a great treasure in today's Muggle world full of electric energy technology. If it can solve the impact of the magic magnetic field on precision instruments, What kind of weapons does the Thunderbird have on its back? An aerial turret with unlimited firepower is simply a bug in technological warfare.
As long as there is no energy supply problem, once the restrictions on ultra-high-energy-consuming gadgets like plasma cannons are lifted, thousands of degrees of high-temperature plasma magma falling from the sky can ignite an entire city in minutes.
What makes a single spark start a prairie fire? Plasma cannon covering the ground is a prairie fire! It's a pity that this thing can easily burn through a country's treasury, and it can't be used for extravagance and waste. Plasma rifles and plasma cannons are not of the same level at all. One is an energy generator, and the other is a strategic weapon.
"Can I touch it, Rolf?"
Justin, who was a bit greedy, asked eagerly. The little thunderbird looked like a combination of cuteness and coolness, which no one could control.
"Yes, but I don't recommend it. Although Xiao Neil can't peck through the dragon leather gloves yet, it still hurts and feels numb."
Luo Fu, who accidentally got too close, was rubbed by the little thunderbird that was flapping its wings and taking off. After twitching on the spot for a few seconds, Luo Fu blew out a puff of black smoke and fell to the ground. His body turned a degree darker to the naked eye, if there was any trace of it. The burning smell of nothing wafted away, making the three of them a little dumbfounded.
"Ready?"
Harry knelt down and poked Rove's chest, his heart still beating.
"Medium rare." Luo Fu grinned and stood up on the floor, "Now you know my troubles, right?"
"Then let me try?"
"OK."
Rolf nodded, and then babbled to the lively little guy: "Neal, Harry will be your godfather from now on, but you can't have a godfather without me."
Neil, who had his little head touched, obediently enjoyed Rolf's touch. Although the touch through gloves was not satisfying, it was the only way now.
But as Harry approached, the cute little ptarmigan with narrowed eyes suddenly became frightened. The little ptarmigan, which was not docile and obedient at all, screamed at Harry, as if to say: "Don't do it." Come here! Don’t come here, you big guy! Come here and I’ll shock you! I’m so cruel!”
The crackling electric current kept flowing out, scaring Luo Fu so much that he couldn't help but take a few steps back to avoid being hurt by Chi Yu.
But this weak electric current was of no use to Harry. He had evolved into a real magical creature, and he held out his big hand while smirking.
"Look what I caught! A thunder just because!"
The little Thunderbird, who was caught in Harry's hand and rubbing his little face, was furious, but except for giving Harry an afro, this weak counterattack was of no use.
"Let me see if my godfather is the male or the female."
"Hey hey hey~"
