After returning to school, several people were still pestering Professor McGonagall to ask about the zombie dog.
When Harry and the others heard that someone proposed sending dementors to search the Forbidden Forest, their expressions were extremely ugly.
Harley: "Professor, they couldn't really do that, right? Zombie dogs or dementors, I don't know which one is more worrying!"
She was "kissed" by a dementor and fainted!
Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses: "Although manpower is indeed stretched, Muggle society seems to be in a lot of trouble now. The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic have to work overtime every day, and the manpower in each department is very limited. Nervous...but Fudge didn't agree to send out the dementors in the end."
Jerry shrugged on the side and whispered: "Maybe he is afraid of what happened last time. After all, I think those monsters are more interested in us than looking for clues about zombie dogs!"
That's right, the dementors simply regarded the positive emotions of the little wizards as a delicacy. They were so close that it was hard to hold back.
If it happened again, Fudge might not even be able to leave office and would be impeached and removed from office.
However, zombie dogs that are infected with the "curse of the undead" are indeed scary and should not be taken lightly.
There are now dozens of people in the Forbidden Forest divided into small teams, searching all over the place.
Hope they gain something.
…
Although the atmosphere outside the school was tense, because the incident was not reported in the newspapers and was sealed, not many students knew about it, so the little wizards still lived their lives.
The happy life in the ivory tower is hard-won!
There is a divination class today.
Previously, Ted had found time to talk to Professor Trelawney.
About her talent, how to master it, how to develop in the future, etc.
Ted planned to use some psion methods to let Trelawney show her divination talent, and slowly train her to develop her own abilities.
Although Trelawney felt a little ashamed when she thought that she actually had to ask her students for advice and develop according to their plans.
But the obsession of nearly twenty years really makes people have no choice but to give in.
How should I put it, although the magic world has existed for such a long time. But for divination things, I really don’t have much accumulated.
First of all, it is not easy for wizards to appear as prophets, especially in Great Britain.
To the extent that every few generations, only one or two talented diviners and prophets appear, and they all have to figure it out on their own.
As for Trelawney, she couldn't inherit anything and could only learn the knowledge on the market.
She wasn't even sure if she really had the ability in this area.
If it weren't for Ted, she would have gradually fallen into despair.
Now, at least there is a way to go, so who cares who shows the way?
Well, in this way, in addition to Professor McGonagall and his own dean Professor Flitwick, Ted has a new supporter in Professor Trelawney!
Today's divination class was a bit special, it was held in the middle of the night.
Because today’s course is about astrology, or stargazing, it doesn’t matter.
It can be said that the beginning of human divination and prophecy began with looking up at the stars.
Whether it is these strange horoscope divination methods in the West or some Yili calculations in the East, they all sum up experience from the laws of star movement, and then use this to create divination and calculation things.
So the astronomy classes in the previous two years were mainly for this purpose.
However, divination is already a very rare talent, and stargazing can be said to be a rare and rare talent.
The entire Western magical world is no longer good at this. Instead, wizards from the Arabian region and some races that are talented in sensing stars are better at it, such as the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest.
On the astronomy tower, two people work in groups, one watching and the other drawing pictures.
Neville and Jerry were in a group, but Neville's eyes were dazzled when he looked at the stars in the camera.
"I seem to have seen two Neptunes. This isn't quite right, is it?" he asked with some confusion.
"right?"
Jerry smiled. He imitated Trelawney's movement of pushing up her glasses, and his tone became unreal, "Oh, Neville, two Neptunes are an ominous sign! You have to be careful, be careful~"
Neville didn't react for a moment and asked, "What are you careful about?"
Jerry: "Be careful there is another one who wants to plot against you~"
On one side, Seamus and Dean were drawing pictures. When they heard this, they couldn't help but giggle and couldn't straighten their waists.
However, their laughter did not attract Professor Trelawney's attention because it was covered by Lavender Brown's louder scream of excitement.
"Oh, Professor, look! I have a planet whose position is not exactly correct! Oops, what kind of star is this, Professor?"
How should I put it, this little girl is a bit tea-smelling!
Professor Trelawney looked down at the chart and said, "Oh, it's Uranus, it's Uranus."
Ron on the side heard this, looked at the star map drawn by Lavender, decided to copy the homework, and asked: "Can you also let me take a look at Uranus, Lavender?"
Then Professor Trelawney, whose face turned red, gave Ted and the others a lot of homework - a twelve-foot-long essay on the nine planets!
When climbing the tower after class, Jerry was still wondering, "Why is Professor Trelawney so crazy today?"
Seamus and Dean couldn't hold back their laughter again, while the girls all blushed and hid away.
Neville's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he obviously understood why.
When Jerry saw this scene, he panicked: How come they all knew what was going on, but I was the only one who was kept in the bag?
He looked at Neville, who didn't dare to look at him at all. Then he looked at Ted, who waved quickly: "Let's say goodbye here, good night!"
Jerry: But we haven’t reached the fork in the road yet!
Ted: I don’t want to be a boy who understands things instantly!
Jerry didn't understand it because he was still not as familiar with English as these little local wizards.
Uranus is called Uranus in English, which has the same pronunciation as Your anus (your gang door). This is why Professor Trelawney is angry...
That means it's hard to do anything, otherwise Trelawney would have to hang Ron upside down on the top of the tower!
The car sounds like the wind, the sound is like an arrow, and the wheel is like a flying swallow crushing my face.
This girl is a car king, okay? We're almost on the highway!
At a young age, I have already used drainage channels to negotiate bends, and my future is limitless.
However, according to what Ted later learned, Ron was also a man who kept his word~
…
The Uranus incident in the divination class was just a small episode in daily life on campus. Everyone just treated it as amusement and forgot about it in a few days.
However, one thing has deeply affected the little wizards - Professor McGonagall said that Hogsmeade is being renovated and students will no longer be arranged to go there on weekends in the near future!
The little wizards were in mourning.
Ron was even more deflated. He had already agreed with Jerry that he would drink butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks Tavern for a day!
Jerry: I'm embarrassed to tell you. Are you going to drink butterbeer? You are greedy for other people's bodies!
Ted joked: "Ron, you can open a bar in Hogsmeade in the future and just call the big bird around!"
Ron: I don’t think you said anything nice!
Ted and his friends only affected their weekend vacation, but the professors at the Ministry of Magic and the school were greatly affected.
This week, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were not idle. They were divided into six or seven teams in the Forbidden Forest and launched a carpet search.
However, things are not that simple.
The reason why the Forbidden Forest is called the Forbidden Forest is that it is really unusual.
Let's put it this way, hundreds of years ago, this place was called the Black Forest.
If ordinary people dare to walk in, there is no need to think about going back.
Even if a wizard comes in, he doesn't dare to go too deep, it's really dangerous.
Even now, decades into the modern era, dangers deep within the Forbidden Forest remain.
Do you think the main danger poachers in the Forbidden Forest face is Hagrid? It’s the Forbidden Forest itself!
It can be said that except for the team led by Hagrid, the other teams are not only struggling to move even an inch in the Forbidden Forest, they are also struggling.
In the past few days, it was all too common for the reconnaissance team to fight with all kinds of weird and magical animals.
At first, other team members were very nervous and rushed over to support.
Later, I didn't go there either. I just took care of my own affairs and asked, "What did you get into another fight with?" That was considered fulfilling my obligation.
Some Aurors complained privately, saying that it seemed like they had to take a new course in magical beasts combat!
Hagrid next to him is an expert in this way. What a coincidence, right? !
However, the Ministry of Magic also knew that the situation was serious, and was ruthless. It continued the investigation despite all difficulties, and finally found something.
Just yesterday, a team of wizards finally found a clue, an undead jackalope?
The rabbit had a hole in its side and its blood had dried, but it was still moving.
He also had a strong desire to attack and kept trying to attack Aurors with the short horn on his head.
After finding a clue, I immediately contacted other people and started a detailed investigation based on this.
Just two days later, another undead deer was discovered. This kind of magic-spotted deer has a natural magic pattern on its body. In a complex environment, it is like casting a body illusion spell, which is difficult to distinguish.
But now it has the head of another stag on the huge antlers on its head...not to mention how scary it is!
After that, more and more undead magical animals were discovered one after another, and even undead magical plants appeared, and their combat effectiveness began to increase!
The strongest undead I have encountered so far is an undead Storm Pterodactyl.
Ordinarily, such a large flying reptile magical animal should not be attacked and infected with the curse.
Hagrid also said that this thing can only be seen on the cliffs of mountains more than 160 miles away, and should not appear here.
However, there are more and more traces.
Even some environments in the Forbidden Forest began to change.
Many trees that have lived for hundreds of years begin to wither, the grass and shrubs on the ground turn gray, and when the soil is dug down a few centimeters, it will appear a slimy, smelly gray color.
This is not a good sign.
The wizards have conducted tests and tests, and the dangerous curse has begun to penetrate the soil!
…
Ted and the others still don't know what happened in the Forbidden Forest. They are studying ancient magic and the secret vault.
Sirius finally dug out a century-old secret from his great-great-grandfather Phineas.
Phineas also participated in the battle at the beginning and fought against the goblin rebels who were trying to get their hands on the ancient magical power.
Although he has not experienced the whole process, as the principal, he naturally knows everything.
It was only after Sirius's hard work... and more importantly, after Phineas learned about what happened in the Forbidden Forest in the principal's office and other places, that he made up his mind to tell the secret of the year.
Unlike other portraits that can move magic, the portraits of past principals in the principal's office have frighteningly high flexibility and authority.
It's like the original person's personality, thoughts, and memories were copied into the portrait.
Let them continue to contribute to this school after death. I can continue to live here.
Phineas Black, as the only headmaster from Slytherin House in history (so far), has a pessimistic attitude towards the phenomenon in the Forbidden Forest. Or a radical attitude.
He felt that the matter might have reached a very serious and urgent stage. The changes in the world now made it difficult for him, an antique from a hundred years ago, to understand.
But since the enemy is strong, one's own side cannot be too weak.
So maybe it's time for ancient magic to take effect.
Of course, maybe he was not willing to let this power be buried in history. Decades after his death, the opportunity finally came~
Then, Ted and the others got the specific location...in the Forbidden Forest.
Blanch~
Ted could still somewhat imagine the situation in the Forbidden Forest. It was really inappropriate to go to such a dangerous and complex place now.
But ancient magic is really delicious!
Ted and the others obtained a memory that Phineas secretly left in the old Black mansion during his lifetime. Using the pensieve under the forbidden book area, they saw part of the memory about ancient magic.
It should be the memory of Morgana obtained by the previous generation of guardians from the memories left by the previous guardians.
As a rising star, Morgana has surpassed other older guardians with the help of ancient magic in just a few years, and her strength is quite superior.
One of the scenes shows Morgana's modified and enhanced version of Avada's Chain Lightning!
As soon as an Avatar went down, the miserable green curses shot out among the enemies like lightning, and a dozen enemies gnawed the big melon together!
That scene! Oh My God!
This is much more powerful than Voldemort!
We can even imagine the scene where the two parties meet:
Voldemort: I killed someone.
Morgana: How many?
Voldemort: 100.
Morgana: Not bad, but what about yesterday?
In the future, if you learn ancient methods, you will not be able to laugh and fall to the ground without being demonized!
There are also some powerful weather spells.
For example, in the Land of Fire, a dozen outstanding wizards helped Ted expand the weather spell and transform the blizzard.
But looking at the memory scene, a guardian made it rain heavily within ten miles! It's several times more powerful than Ted's!
How can this power be compared to modern magic systems?
Now even if Dumbledore casts a weather spell, he can at most affect the school, and at most Hogsmeade, no bigger.
This is not a question of who is stronger, but who has greater authority.
Ted feels that this is not due to the magic power or the level of the spell, but because the principles of the two sides are different.
The modern magic system is like an APP, which is exquisite and accurate, practical and convenient, and has various functions.
But ancient magic is like root authority, which can fundamentally utilize the rules.
There is definitely something going on here!
As for the Forbidden Forest, we are so familiar with that place!
There was a time last year when I went for night walks in the woods every day.
"what to do?"
"It looks like it's only three and a half kilometers away from Hagrid's hut!"
"We don't have to go too deep, right?"
"We'll come as soon as we go..."
Friends are all fascinated by ancient magic.
What else could Ted say? He also wants to give it a try!
Ted: "Then we have to be careful~"
Hermione rolled her eyes but said nothing in reply.
Let’s go to the Forbidden Forest first. If conditions really don’t allow it, then we can only postpone it.
I drank some wine, so let’s do this for now, please bear with me...
