The celebration lasted until very late, and as a result, many Gryffindor cubs were unable to get up as usual the next morning.
This made Professor Snape extremely happy. After all, even if the day before was the first event of the Six Wizard Tournament, you still couldn't be late or absent from the Potions class the next day.
Therefore, Professor Snape naturally deducted twenty points from each of the sixth-grade Gryffindors. The reasons for deducting points were "being late for class, being undisciplined, and contemptuous of teachers."
It's a pity that there are too few Gryffindor students in the sixth-year Potions Advanced Class, only eight people in total.
Otherwise, in this lesson alone, he could deduct back the points he added to Harley in a week.
But the little lions didn't care, and didn't even bother to complain or talk back to Professor Snape.
Anyway, the warriors of Hogwarts are in Gryffindor, not in Slytherin. It is Gryffindor who has brought supreme glory to Hogwarts.
No matter how much Professor Snape deducted points or how much the Slytherins laughed at them, the little lions of Gryffindor thought it was just the jealous and incompetent rage of Professor Snape and the Slytherins.
Except for Professor Snape, the other professors expressed their understanding and tolerance for the Gryffindor students' tardiness.
After all, the Hogwarts warriors had achieved such a great victory, so it was normal for everyone to be so happy.
In the words of Professor McGonagall, if the Triwizard Tournament or the current Six Wizard Tournament had been held when she was in school, and the warriors of Hogworth had achieved such good results.
Then she will definitely celebrate until midnight, and even won't be able to sleep at night.
This atmosphere of constant celebration lasted for a long time, and Halle became the center of everyone's attention.
Every time Harry went to class or the library, there would always be little wizards watching and whispering.
And there are often some little wizards who come over with parchment and quill pens to ask for signatures. Some people even asked for one when Harry was selected, and now they are trying to get another one.
In addition, for some reason, Klum often went to the library to read books during this period, and always sat around the three of them.
So Harry was forced to change positions, borrow a bunch of books at once using the IOU given by Professor Snape, and then take them to the Room of Requirement for study.
In addition to these students who have not graduated, Hogwarts alumni who have already graduated are also happy for this brilliant achievement.
Sirius and Lupine both wrote letters of congratulations, but they are still in the community of dark wizards and werewolves for the time being, so they cannot return.
In addition, many magic masters who were familiar with Harry, especially those who graduated from Gryffindor, also sent letters.
Hedwig has been exhausted these past few days. Although she is not the owl responsible for delivering the letter, there are many times when Harley needs to ask Hedwig to help deliver a reply.
Although Hedwig has completely digested the potion of the Sequence 7 psychiatrist and can drink the Sequence 6 hypnotist's potion at any time.
But this does not increase the owl's physical strength much.
So Hedwig always looked half-dead when she came back from delivering the letter every night.
But soon, everyone’s attention shifted away from celebrating the victory of the first project and moved to a new kind of fun.
On the first weekend after the competition, the Daily Prophet published a detailed report on the first project, and attached a video shot using magic.
But this was just an appetizer. The next day's "Daily Prophet" became a special episode of Rita's eccentricities.
Rita was uncharacteristically different this time and did not attack Professor Dumbledore with every word as she had in the past, calling him an "old lunatic with a rigid head and a stubborn mind."
On the contrary, Rita also hyped up the fairness of the two referees of the Ministry of Magic and other headmasters, and it seemed that the main goal was to lick the headmasters of the Ministry of Magic and other magical schools.
It's not until the middle of the article that Rita shows her fangs - she starts mentioning Karkaroff's unfair behavior from all angles.
The interviews between Catherine and Miguel were also quoted in large sections.
And in order to ensure that the effect of the news was sufficiently explosive, Rita did not fully use the quill pen rhetoric this time.
She took it upon herself to make sure that more than 90% of the words were spoken by the two interviewed warriors, and slightly modified 10% of them, or even just a few words.
Just like one of Miguel's original words:
"I think most of the time, the referees are fair. They only show a little emotion when they grade their students, but it's harmless."
When Rita was writing the press release, she started writing and turned this sentence into:
"I think most referees are fair, but some referees tend to show emotion when giving scores to their students."
After this sentence came out, it was Rita's turn to show off.
Even when Krum hated the interview and backed away with a frown, Rita didn't let go.
She secretly captured this scene with a miniature magic camera and placed it in a very conspicuous position in the newspaper.
In Rita's words, this is when Krum "realized the despicable behavior of his principal and was ashamed of it, so he was too embarrassed to face an interview with a righteous reporter."
The words in this report made Karkaroff blush and get angry openly in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.
But there was nothing he could do. The other two principals were also very protective and ignored Karkaroff at all.
And this is the UK. He has no ability to interfere with the "freedom of speech" of British newspapers, so he can only be furious.
But fortunately, this report is just being weird and satirizing itself.
And he did not violate the specific rules of the competition or the laws established by the British Ministry of Magic.
As long as Karkaroff is shameless enough, he will not be afraid of such useless article attacks.
Of course, he had to endure the daily owls of letters from angry wizards across Britain, as well as the occasional howl and malicious letters containing curses or dangerous plant extracts.
After all, these are also within the legal scope, and they are legal in the entire magic world, so Karkaroff can only bear it.
In the days that followed, Rita would whip the thing out every other week, as if to keep it hot.
This behavior seemed useless, but it still gave Karkaroff some ominous premonitions.
Harley didn't pay attention to Rita's behavior. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.
At this time, most of Harley's attention was focused on another thing - that is, Ollivander's warning about Harley's wand.
On the night after the game, Harley went through the magic mirror and visited the memory of Ollivander's grandfather immersively.
I don't know why, although Ollivander told Harley that this memory included the process and location of Ollivander's grandfather obtaining the core of the wand.
But that memory was eroded and damaged by unknown forces.
Harley only got one coordinate from it, a coordinate in the spiritual world.
Although Ollivander's grandfather was not very powerful, it was very strange to obtain this coordinate.
But this kind of extremely peculiar coordinates can only exist in the spiritual world that does not distinguish between top and bottom, and brings together the past, present and future.
As for the only remaining part of this memory - the part that records the specific process of making the wand, it is still very well preserved.
But probably because this was just an ordinary memory, even though Harry saw the shape of his wand's core, he couldn't feel the extraordinary nature of this wand's core.
After thinking for a long time and formulating a series of comprehensive plans, Harley finally set a time to prepare to solve this matter.
…………
On the Saturday night of the second weekend after completing the first project, Harry quietly left Hogwarts Castle.
But at this time, in the Gryffindor Tower of Hogwarts Castle, on a bed in a girl's dormitory, there was a girl with the same face as Harry, who was falling into a sweet dream with a peaceful smile.
Harley wasn't sure how long she would need to go, or even whether she could come back successfully.
So that carefully crafted wand came in handy.
Harley used it to build a clone, a clone with roughly the peak strength of the sixth sequence, to replace herself.
At the same time, if Harley's body accidentally dies during this uncertain operation, Harley can also use this surrogate wand to resurrect directly in Hogwarts and quickly regain all her strength.
Of course, the power of Sequence Three that is still sealed cannot be retrieved, and may even be lost permanently.
Therefore, Harley still needs to be cautious in this action.
After entering the Forbidden Forest, Harley quickly sneaked into the spirit world.
The last time Harley came, she didn't observe the spirit world carefully. This time, she took a good look at it.
The spiritual world at this time is still as mysterious and charming as the spiritual world after endless years.
All kinds of brilliance are flowing and exuding a spiritual luster, making people want to immerse themselves in it.
But perhaps because he was about to wake up at first, a lot of his power was taken away and used for the deepest sleep before waking up.
Therefore, the spiritual world is not like the original spiritual worlds of the northern and southern continents, where there are so many weird and powerful spiritual creatures.
The spiritual world here is empty, except for the occasional beings that resemble ghosts flying by.
And their eyes look empty, as if they no longer remember who they are.
The seven lights of the spirit world still hung high in the sky, and this time they did not take the initiative to come to find Harry.
Of course, Harley didn't think about contacting the Seven Lights in the spirit world. She didn't hesitate and acted quickly according to the coordinates in her memory.
However, Harley also dropped several mirrors at several suitable places along the way, and set up rituals with a covering effect as a back-up to escape in the event of an accident.
Moving in the spiritual world is always very fast. In less than fifteen minutes, Harley arrived near the coordinates.
And this was the result of Harley deliberately controlling her speed, otherwise she could have been faster.
Before approaching the coordinates, Harley quickly stopped.
At the location marked by this coordinate, there is a large mountain made of stones from the ordinary world.
These stones seem to have been infected, exuding a halo of spiritual mist.
Harley was not surprised to see these ordinary materials in the spirit world.
While traveling in the spiritual world of the Northern Continent, she even saw many well-made stone castles.
On one of the stone castles that impressed Harry the most, there was a beautiful noble lady standing there.
However, this noble lady has no head, but she is carrying four heads in her hand.
It was precisely this peculiar shape, coupled with the vaguely perceived terrifying personality at the angelic level, that made Harley, who was still the Witch of Despair at the time, afraid to approach him, and she still can't forget him to this day.
Although she was a little curious about where these ordinary materials came from and why they were brought into the spirit world, Harley also had the ability and didn't have the time to explore.
On this rocky mountain, there is an inexplicable black cave, located exactly at the center point of the precise coordinates.
When he saw the cave, Harry instantly felt that his whole body was jumping for joy, as if urging him to quickly enter the cave and explore the secrets contained in it.
However, as an immortal witch who has fought all the way up from low-sequence alone, Harley will definitely not be too reckless and plunge into this unknown location.
Harley's figure swayed slightly and hid behind an inanimate object suspended in the spiritual world, covering up her existence.
Then, Harry began to move in a large circle around the hill, throwing down mirrors or wands.
Finally, she casually put on gold-rimmed glasses. Layers of suggestion and hypnosis were constantly superimposed and could take effect at any time.
These preparations in advance allow Harley to display her mythical creature form at will for a certain period of time.
Unless Harley's spirituality is on the verge of drying up, she won't be spiraling out of control.
The invisible halo of disease also spread quietly, shrouding that coordinate quietly.
This ability can be said to be the most commonly used ability of the Sequence Five Pain Witch, but it is rarely used in Harley's hands.
After all, it was just a small fight in Hogwarts. Harry couldn't backhand throw a disease halo while training for a duel with Professor Flitwick.
But things are different now. Facing this unknown enemy, Harley naturally does not need to control her power as deliberately as she did during pure magic training with the professors at Hogwarts.
After completing the preliminary preparations, Harley directly entered the invisible state and continued to move forward slowly.
Calculating that time was almost up, Harley suddenly broke her invisibility state, and black flames rose behind her.
The black flame burst out instantly and poured into the black hole, as if there was no fear that the mystery contained in it would be damaged.
"Shishan" instantly let out a shrill wail and exploded.
Those stones full of spirituality rushed outwards driven by powerful force, and they were extremely fast and powerful.
A spirit body that flew here unintentionally was passed through by a certain stone. It seemed that it could no longer maintain its shape and dissipated directly into the spirit world.
Harley also had to build a wall formed by the Iron Armor Curse in front of her and cover it with a thick layer of ice to completely block the rocks flying in her direction.
At the same time, Harley also spied the true face of that "stone mountain"——
It was not a rocky mountain at all, but a snake-like creature that covered all parts of its body with gravel and coiled its body.
The black hole before was the mouth of this snake-like creature!
When seeing this scene, Harley was not surprised at all.
The first half of Ollivander's grandfather's memory seemed to have been eroded by unknown forces, but only the most important coordinates were retained.
Moreover, this coordinate is a coordinate unique to the spirit world. This matter is unreasonable no matter how you look at it, and there is an air of weirdness and conspiracy everywhere.
"Is it a state of aggregation of similar domain characteristics similar to that of some extraordinary creatures?"
Harley stood in mid-air in the spirit world, calmly staring at the snake-like creature below.
This creature, which could be considered a snake for the time being, was much larger than the fire dragons and basilisks. It was completely black and exuded demigod-level power related to death, dreams, and night.
This is very similar to some of the creatures that Harry has seen in the Southern Continent. Those creatures also have abilities in multiple ways, and the materials on their bodies can also be added to different potions.
Harley still remembered a certain snake-like dog-headed creature with wings and four claws that she had hunted.
That strange creature possesses the extraordinary characteristics of the Warrior Path, the Hunter Path, and the Cultivator Path, but only possesses the extraordinary ability of these pathways to strengthen the body.
And this strange creature does not have the IQ of these three pathways. It does not have long-range extraordinary abilities, but it cannot make weapons.
This resulted in Harley flying a kite on it, continuously applying curses and black flames remotely, and finally being rubbed to death.
So now, although Harley has never seen this kind of creature, she is not unfamiliar with the big snake in front of her at all.
And this big snake looks a little harder to hunt than those creatures on the southern continent.
For those creatures on the southern continent that have gathered various extraordinary characteristics, they all have one thing in common - their brains are not very good.
Those may have some intelligence, but not high IQ; some are rational, but are still crazy most of the time; have a brain, but don't like to use it.
But the big snake in front of him was different from them, probably because of the influence of the Night Path Extraordinary Characteristics and abilities related to dreams and rationality. Its eyes shone with ferocity and madness, but from time to time some sense and cunning would flash through.
In addition, it knows how to use strategies to lure people with wands and set traps through disguise, so it probably has some thinking ability.
So Harley was a little more cautious.
Of course, there are limits to caution. After all, for these creatures with mixed characteristics, their weakness in the face of mental attacks is always their most fatal weakness.
The big snake seemed to have finished expelling the black flames that had been poured into its mouth before, and roared at Harley.
The roar was extremely shrill, like using a saw blade that was no longer sharp to cut reinforced concrete.
But when it falls on the ears of ordinary creatures, it has a strange charm, trying to pull people into dreams.
Layers of green halo fluctuations covered Harry's body, forcibly blocking out the shrill wails.
At the same time, Harley had determined the snake's weakness and launched a counterattack.
"Bribery!" "Distorted and weakened mental endurance!"
"The Law of All Laws prohibits the existence of inhuman creatures here!" "Judgment: The movements of the guilty are restricted!" "Shock!"
Five extraordinary abilities from the gloves on both hands were used by Harry in succession, and directly enveloped a large area of the spiritual world.
The black flames that had previously been blasted into the giant snake's mouth turned into items bribed to it, forcibly marking the giant snake with the mark of being bribed, and its power was also weakened by several levels.
The mental oppression and sting caused by being labeled a crime makes the snake's madness gradually increase, while its rationality continues to weaken.
The body of the giant snake coiled into a hill has now stretched out, and it is constantly shaking its tail and twisting its body in an attempt to relieve the pain.
At the same time, it kept making crazy roars, seeming to be calling for the coming of night, or perhaps trying to pull the surrounding creatures into a dream.
It's a pity that this is the spiritual world, and it is a spiritual world with a very special state, and a lot of power was initially taken away from it.
In the giant snake's current state, which is not particularly sane, it is impossible for the night to fall accurately.
Especially these attacks on the spirit and rationality of the giant snake are constantly tearing at the rationality and soul of the giant snake.
Although the extraordinary items in Harley's hands were only at the Sequence Six and Sequence Five levels, the giant snake had a strength barely close to that of Sequence Three, so a single attack seemed very weak.
However, the frequency of these mental attacks is extremely high, which effectively makes up for this shortcoming.
What's more, for a creature like the giant snake whose power comes from the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics in multiple ways, madness has always been a lurking problem in the mind, so the resistance in related fields is extremely weak.
At this time, the extraordinary ability of the night path in the giant snake is taking effect, trying to maintain its own sanity.
But its resistance is still getting weaker and weaker.
Harley did not take action in time, but still concealed her figure and hid around.
The witch has always been the top assassin. Although waiting for the giant snake's power to continue to weaken is a long process, the witch is not lacking in patience.
Of course, during this process, Harley had to give it another push to speed it up.
Seeing that the giant snake's protection on her spiritual level was getting lower and lower, Harley lightly snapped her fingers.
"Disease outbreak!" "Spiritual plague!"
Harley had already planted plague seeds in the giant snake's body before, but the giant snake's physical fitness was extremely strong.
Therefore, the disease cannot fully develop and cause damage in a short period of time.
But now, the giant snake's resistance is much weaker, and the disease should have its effect.
The mental plague is also a kind of disease, so under Harley's control, it was successfully hidden in the disease halo and planted into the brain of the giant snake.
At this time, the two seeds exploded!
