Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
In the dark secret room, a pattern of five-pointed stars and six-pointed stars was drawn on the ground in the center, with a cross as the center and extending out. This is a special formation for making staffs. It was Ravenclaw's unique secret technique at that time. It belongs to a different school from the Ollivander family's staff-making skills.
Although Ravenclaw's staff-making heritage is far less famous than the Ollivander family, this does not mean that the former is inferior to the latter. When Rowena Ravenclaw herself invented this wand-making technique, she was actually inspired by the four founders who jointly founded the four houses of Hogwarts.
As we all know, the establishment of the four major colleges was actually supported by magic theory. This is why no one, not even the greatest and most philanthropic Dumbledore, dared to change this simple, crude, and criticized method of sorting schools in the thousand years since the school was founded.
In Great Britain, Muggle elite high schools are indeed organized into branches, but the purpose of this branch is very clear. It is to encourage students to learn to compete and collaborate, to experience a miniature society for them, and to accumulate the social experience and socialization they need before entering society. Skill. Their process of sorting into different schools is random, so that people with different cultural backgrounds, different cultural and sports abilities, different personalities and genders can learn how to get along, how to collaborate, and ultimately integrate together.
Hogwarts, on the other hand, is better. It directly sorts the houses according to the four character traits of courage, wisdom, integrity, and ambition. Moreover, this is not the choice of the students themselves, but is appointed by an ancient sorting hat with unknown operating principles. . No matter how dissatisfied the students are, they cannot violate the Sorting Hat's instructions.
As a result, the day students enter school at the age of 11, they will be labeled with their character and burdened with expectations that should not be expected at this age. For example, Neville must use all his strength to gather courage in order to achieve Gryffindor Other people's expectations of him; and Snape will be addicted to black magic, and eventually become strangers to Lily Evans, which is also affected by the atmosphere of the Snake House.
That's okay. What's more serious is that this way of categorizing students according to their colleges has also caused discrimination and prejudice.
In the original book, Ron and Hermione mentioned their yearning for Gryffindor and their disdain for Slytherin more than once. What's even more outrageous is Hagrid, who actually blatantly said that "there is no wizard who later turns bad who didn't come from Slytherin." Such seriously prejudiced words, and he said this to Harry, who was first exposed to the wizarding world, It was at that time that Harry's prejudice against Slytherin began to be planted.
At Hogwarts, many people feel that Slytherin students pride themselves on their noble blood and discriminate against students from other houses. But looking at it conversely, don't the other three houses also discriminate against the "evil" Slytherins?
Therefore, this method of sorting not only creates discrimination, but also extends division and hatred.
For centuries, Slytherin and Gryffindor have been fighting endlessly, while Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw appear to be indifferent and neutral, but in fact they always favor Gryffindor. aside. There's nothing you can do about it, why is there a Voldemort in Slytherin and a Dumbledore in Gryffindor?
Even Dumbledore himself couldn't help but say to Snape, "I sometimes think our classification is too hasty." Schelling in his previous life was often puzzled. Since Dumbledore, as the principal, had long seen the shortcomings of the branch system, why didn't he propose reforms? As the greatest and most famous white wizard of our time, if he were to lead the reform, there would definitely be the least resistance.
(Note: The original English text of Dumbledore’s passage is i sometimes thioo soon, which means that the sorting is too early, causing students to lose the time to freely develop their characters. The original text of the People’s Society is used above.)
However, in this life, Schelling finally understood the principle of branch system. The so-called four major houses actually correspond to the four elements in the theory of the four elements of magic - Slytherin corresponds to the "water element", Gryffindor corresponds to the "fire element", and Ravenclaw It corresponds to the "air element", and Hufflepuff corresponds to the "earth element".
This has certain similarities with the "Five Elements Theory" and "Feng Shui Theory" studied by Eastern wizards.
For a long time, Hogwarts has relied on the fusion and interweaving of the four elements to maintain the operation of the entire castle. In other words, to a certain extent, the sorting system is the basis for the smooth and unimpeded operation of the magical magnetic field within Hogwarts. This is the reason why no one dares to reform the branch system.
Ravenclaw's secret art of wand-making is actually a ritual that gives a piece of wood its own magical properties based on the combination of the four elements.
This alone cannot be inferior to the Ollivander family's technique of carving alchemical traces on wood and the core of a staff. However, the disadvantage of Ravenclaw's method is obvious, that is, wizards from the four elements must be gathered to jointly make the staff, which is far outmatched by Ollivander in terms of versatility and convenience.
There are four people in the secret room at the moment - Sherrin, Bathory, Anis, and Sulf. At this moment, they are divided into four corners, standing at the ends of the cross. The four of them all held something in their hands, which was the material that was about to be sacrificed in the ceremony. Schellingjan, through Ali Bashir, Gulana's sister, and the German smuggler Nicholas, asked them to choose from various legal and Collected through illegal channels.
Recalling the days a few years ago when he had to personally collect raw materials just to refine a magic-enhancing potion, Xie Lin couldn't help but feel deeply satisfied with his current network of resources. Now, with just one word, he can easily have the raw materials and materials he wants delivered to him.
Whether it is the Malfoy family, the Black family, the Greengrass family, or the Ravenclaw library, there are some classics on staff making, which collect the knowledge passed down by these families. In terms of the amount of knowledge alone, Schelling may Not as good as Ollivander, but definitely enough to defy most people in the field of staff making. What Xie Lin lacked was actually just an opportunity to practice.
In the past period of time, Salv has been immersed in this knowledge because of Schelling's special instructions in advance.
After Sulf and Xellin's deduction, today is the day when Mercury is in the sky, and Snakewood belongs to Mercury in the herbal sequence, so the magic conductivity of Snakewood today will be enhanced by the astrology and become more acute.
The basilisk horn has also undergone special treatment - it is soaked in the blood of the basilisk's natural enemy, the rooster, for seven days and seven nights. After drying, the basilisk horn is displayed outdoors on a cloudless night, illuminated by as many stars as possible. It is believed in the classics that this may increase the wand's communication with various areas of magic.
Schelling placed the basilisk horn in the center of the cross, opened his mouth, and let out a hissing sound.
Among the four people here, only Sulf can understand the snake language. What Xie Lin said is "Wake up! The king of snakes!"
The basilisk horns bloomed with intense and dazzling turquoise light.
Xie Lin took a step forward, threw forward a stunned long-horned water snake in his hand, and read aloud: "In the name of a pure-blooded person, I sacrifice the descendants of Senunos and call upon the power of water. Come!"
The long-horned water snake (Hor) is a magical animal in North America. It can speak human words, is shrewd and cunning. It is actually a descendant of Senunnos (os) in Celtic mythology in the Muggle world. This god represents pure-blooded nobility. , corresponding to the "water element" trait behind Slytherin.
The long-horned water snake landed in front of the basilisk horn, let out a scream, and turned into a pool of liquid-like blue energy, which was absorbed by the basilisk horn.
Bathory was the second to make a move. She threw the three-headed rune snake that was knocked unconscious in her hand forward, and then opened her mouth to spit out a thick liquid that looked like green blood. , the liquid poured on the rune snake, and its three heads let out screams of varying lengths. The rune snake's entire body turned into a stream of blue smoke, which was slowly absorbed by the basilisk horns.
The runespoor is a magical animal from Burkina Faso, Africa. It has a brave and aggressive character. Its three heads often fight together when their minds are hot, completely forgetting that they share the same body, and one head will die. It is equivalent to the death of all three heads, which corresponds to the "fire element" trait behind Gryffindor. The blood of vampires actually contains a quality called "dark fire", which is the most suitable material for refining the fire element.
Next up in action is dominatrix Anise Black. She laughed wildly, threw a monster with a chicken head and a dragon body in her hand towards the center of the ceremony, made a strange gesture with her hands, and a slender dark blue nail separated from her finger and turned into a blue light. Inside the monster.
The monster is actually cockatrice, a close relative of the basilisk. Its gaze can kill or turn to stone, and the breath it exhales is highly poisonous. Its character is paranoid and tyrannical. When it encounters an enemy that violates its dignity, it will chase the enemy to the ends of the earth and even die with the enemy. It corresponds to the "earth element" of Hufflepuff. (Unexpectedly, the extreme of diligence, persistence, and single-mindedness is actually paranoia)
All dominatrixes live in underground caves without seeing the sun for many years. Their bodies contain strong earth elements, so Annes' nails are just the right material for refining the earth elements.
Sulf's face was very solemn. She walked slowly to the center of the ceremony, carefully picked up the basilisk horns on the ground in her hands.
"Aquila!" Xie Lin shouted coldly, and an eagle-shaped shadow appeared and let out a long scream. Aquila's body glowed with colorful brilliance. It flapped its wings vigorously, and its two wing feathers turned into invisible wind arrows and shot into the basilisk horns.
"Salph, it's now!" Xie Lin gave the last instruction.
Sulf opened her mouth and let out bursts of hisses of varying lengths. She was not casting a spell, but communicating with the basilisk horn to establish a special connection between the wizard and the core of the wand——
What does the wand choose the wizard? There may be a reason for choosing a wizard for the wand. The wand core has emotional and will guidance. Wands made with different wand cores are destined to match wizards with different personalities and temperaments. But is this really the only truth in the world of stickmaking?
Once the method of refining the wand core used by Schelling is successful, an unbreakable bond will be directly established between the wizard and the wand core, and the fit between the wizard and the wand will be far greater than what is currently known. any combination of.
[The compatibility between "Basilisk Horn" and "Salf" is max! 】
At the same time, Xie Lin murmured an ancient and long spell in a low voice. The low murmur echoed in the secret room. The snake wood automatically floated into the air, slowly moved into Sulf's palm, and then began to melt, slowly. Slowly wrap up the basilisk horn, invisible to the naked eye, and golden filaments are interspersed in the wood. This is actually the wisdom of the basilisk horn growing and spreading in the body of the staff like the nerves of the human body, until the core of the staff and The stick bodies merged together flawlessly.
Sulf held a brand new wand, and a ring of thunder and lightning radiated from her body in all directions.
A snake head the size of a fingernail protruded slightly from the holding part of the wand, and two red snake eyes shone with a biting luster.
Sulf closed her eyes, and her long black hair automatically fluttered in the opposite direction without any wind. Her aura grew wildly, and a huge snake-shaped shadow loomed behind her.
At this moment, everyone present felt it——
The breaths of the Sulf and the wand have blended together indistinguishably, and it is no longer possible to tell which one is the Sulf and which is the wand by their breath——
"Is this the union of man and wand?" Bathory, who was well-informed, quickly recognized this phenomenon. "It's incredible that even in my time, a wand can make wizards and wands resonate to such an extent. The technique is already a legend, and no one has ever seen such a scene... Oh my god, Xie Lin, what are you..."
Bathory didn't know what to say. She had lived for centuries and had never seen any kind of genius. But in her opinion, Xuelin's talent of being proficient in almost everything was beyond the reach of genius. Category, enough to be called a monster.
The wand is the wizard's second life and the wizard's most valuable partner. The compatibility between the wand and the wizard is the most crucial factor in choosing a wand, and it is a recognized fact in the hearts of all wizards.
But no matter what the current wand makers do, it is impossible to make a wand that perfectly matches the wizard from limited materials. At most, the fit is relatively high.
The magic wand held in Sulf's hand obviously resonated mysteriously with her, reaching the legendary state of "human and wand becoming one".
"Am I right?" Anis said hesitantly, "Her magic level has broken through just like this?"
Xie Lin nodded and said calmly: "Yes, the wand itself has magic power, reaching the state of 'human and wand unity', which means that the magic power in the wand is connected with Sulf's magic pool. From now on, they can share each other's magic power with the staff, so it is not surprising that there is a breakthrough in magic power. "Salph's magic power had already reached the level of a quasi-Auror before, and after some impact, she officially stepped into the Auror level. level of magic.
"Awesome!" Bathory looked at Xie Lin with a half-smile, "Brother Xie Lin, you have such great skills, when will you get a wand for Sister Eliza?" Anis on the side heard this. When he spoke, he immediately cheered up and listened attentively.
Pure-blood vampires and hags (mixed-bloods are allowed, so Fleur has a wand), like house elves and goblins, are restricted by the laws of the Ministry of Magic and are not allowed to hold wands. This causes them to rely on magic wands. The natural instinct is to force the use of magic in a rough manner, but it cannot be used easily, thus affecting the display of true strength.
Therefore, Bathory and Anis could not openly purchase wands from normal channels, and the second-hand wands purchased from the black market were of varying quality, and sometimes even showed master-resistant properties, making them worse to use than nothing. The wand casts spells easily.
"Don't worry," Xie Lin's mouth curved slightly, his eyes sparkling, "I will never treat my followers badly. As long as you never betray the covenant between us, I promise that there will be someone who can make it public for you. A day with a magic wand.”
