Chapter 230: Valentine's Day

Awakening the soul is not an easy task for any wizard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info need precious materials, powerful magic, and suitable conditions. All of these circumstances, for Mrs. Crouch, are present. After Xie An handed over the materials to Queen Anne, the awakening ceremony was carried out that night.

Mr. Crouch wanted to see it with his own eyes, but whether it was Empress Anne or those strange materials, it was Shea's secret, and he didn't want Crouch I to know about it.

Barty Jr. participated in the ritual, and Queen Anne set up a powerful magic pattern to ensure that even if the ritual failed, Mrs. Crouch's soul would not completely collapse. After a night of hard work, Mrs. Crouch was reawakened without danger.

This kind of magic for the soul, Queen Anne is not good at it, but fortunately, after getting the family inheritance, the queen found the corresponding book correctly, and Queen Anne successfully arranged the appropriate magic pattern formation according to the description on the record.

Barty Jr. was grateful to Queen Anne and Shay-Ann beyond words, and Shea Ann promised to find a suitable body for Mrs. Crouch to use.

Solving this matter can be regarded as a great favor for the Crouch family, which gives the Li family one more ally. Minister Fudge returned to the Ministry of Magic that night, and only Mr. Crouch remained at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, under the pretext of preparing for the competition, until the next day, when Shayne told him the results through an owl, and Barty Crouch was secretly relieved.

Although the soul can be preserved in the Soul Gem, without a suitable body, the soul still lives in a dark prison. But it's too hard to find the right vessel for a wizard's soul. Of course, this container is best for the body of the wizard, but once the wizard has a consciousness of his own, it is difficult to erase it.

Some wizards have tried to solve this problem with Transfiguration, and at first, it still had an effect, but then Transfiguration had an accident, and the Transfiguration was interrupted, which directly caused the soul to be annihilated with the annihilation of the body.

I can't find a suitable body for the time being, and it's too difficult to find a suitable body that has just died, Xie An told Little Barty the truth, and Little Barty was a little disappointed, but finally accepted it.

After this time, the school quickly entered the time of class. The thwarted brief terrorist attacks at the Quidditch World Cup, and now the heavy damage of the Death Eaters, make Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seem very safe now.

But the reality is that the wizarding world has reached the most dangerous time, and if you are not careful, the entire wizarding world may be completely thrown into chaos. Things that are surging under the undercurrent are not so easy to solve. Gellert Grindelwald did not leave England, but infiltrated the Ministry of Magic with the help of Dumbledore.

As for the dimensional wars between wizards, neither Dumbledore nor Gellert Grindelwald are newbies, and they have not even experienced such wars. Gellert Grindelwald may have formed his own wizarding army, but that was only the wizarding world now.

Gellert Grindelwald needed to know what kind of weapons his enemies had. The Department of Mysteries has preserved a series of strange discoveries discovered by this wizard. There was one room that had been locked for many years, and few wizards were allowed to enter it except for a few people, and that was the mysterious matter of time.

In addition, the Dementors outside the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are also a great threat. Dementors can be banished by Patronus spells, but wizards have yet to find any effective means to destroy them.

After excluding the Ministry of Magic, there are only two forces left in Britain that can command and understand the Dementors, one is the Death Eaters who have just been hit hard, this Dementor may be the Death Eaters who have arranged for a long time in order to attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic, and it is still unknown.

Under such circumstances, the Dementors still did not attack Muggles on a large scale, which already made Xie An slightly surprised, and he was still unclear about the enemy's purpose.

During this time, the days passed peacefully, there were no attacks for the time being, and the conversation of the wizards gradually shifted to other aspects, from the terrorist attack on the World Cup to the upcoming tournament.

The whole school knew about it, but Professor McGonagall asked the students not to discuss it in public.

What is more strange is that the school has not arranged a Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and it seems that the headmaster, Lord Dumbledore, has found out that the Dark Lord has done something in this regard, and is not prepared to let other wizards have an accident in this position for the time being. Xie An usually took classes seriously, and at the same time began to study ancient spells with Queen Anne diligently.

Some magic has long been lost, and some magic can no longer be used. Like some powerful war magic, it requires a certain concentration of magic around it to be effective, but now that the entire wizarding world has declined, the conditions for these spells to be cast have disappeared forever.

He rarely spends time at Hogwarts, except for class time. Due to the cooperation with the Muggle Prime Minister at the most critical moment, Earl Lee almost needed to discuss countermeasures with his son from time to time, and the simple doll could not convey detailed information, so he could only leave the school through Xie An in the middle of the night through the elves.

There are always a lot of things going on during this time, which keeps Xie An very busy. The time spent with Autumn has decreased, and their relationship has not progressed at all for the time being. Sometimes Xie An would swim in the black lake, and there was some cold water, which temporarily cooled the fire in Xie An's mind.

Xie An felt that the way many pure-blood families acted was really strange, and the information they emitted was difficult to agree with and understand. Whether it was Earl Li or Xie An, they both felt hopelessly helpless about the chaos in the current magical world. The Prime Minister has said many times that the Ministry of Wizarding and Magic is a disaster, with so many employees and terrible inefficiency.

In fact, the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic is so poor, it can't all be because of Minister Fudge, the biggest problem here is still in the magic of real wizards, although it is convenient, but it also means that the situation has changed from being certain to extremely difficult to determine.

On February 14, Xie An still came to the restaurant early as usual, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place. The inside of the dining room was full of pink, many heart-shaped crumbs falling from the ceiling overhead, and each long table was filled with large pink flowers. Xie An didn't understand what was going on for a while, he thought that the wizards from the other five schools were going to come to participate in the tournament today.

But this was not the case at all, Xie Ann ignored the annoying confetti, he just wanted to eat breakfast early so that he could study the magic that Queen Anne had recently taught him. The corners of some of the boys' mouths twitched as they looked at the pink flowers on their long tables, as if they saw monsters.

Xie An used a vanishing spell to make all the brilliant flowers in front of him disappear, and then he tapped the plate with his knife and fork, asking for his own breakfast, which immediately appeared on his plate, two heart-shaped poached eggs, toast bread, and a glass of strawberry juice.

Seeing the two strangely shaped poached eggs in front of him, Xie An didn't react for a while, and his mind was secretly strange, how could the elf's omelette become such a strange shape.

At this point, a girl covered his eyes from behind, "Guess who I am?"

"Qiu, don't make a fuss, I still have a lot of things to deal with today, hurry up and have breakfast, and then I'm going back to the classroom. ”

"Hmph, it's like this every time, can't you pretend not to know and cooperate with others once? Besides, today is a special day, I think you should spend it with me. Qiu said dissatisfiedly.

"On some special day, I noticed that the auditorium seemed to be decorated, could it be that the contestants were coming?"

Qiu sat next to Xie An, took out her wand, turned the flowers in front of her into an elegant white with a ** spell, and pruned them with magic. "It's St. Valentine's Day!" Andrew, do you see that?"

"St. Valentine's Day?

"It's Valentine's Day, Andrew!"

"Well, I've never heard of that. Is Valentine's Day a holiday between lovers? But this is a school, and we are all children, will Dumbledore agree to such a holiday?"

"Of course, didn't you notice that the auditorium was completely renovated, and the elves wouldn't listen to the students if the principal and professors didn't agree. ”

The two of them sat down and began to eat breakfast, and after a while, sure enough, a young wizard was very nervous and gave a small gift he had made to the witch who was happy, and some of the witches agreed to accept it, while others were at a loss and ran away. Most of them are students from the fourth grade and above, at least the lower grades have not yet appeared.

A group of leprechauns walked in through the doorway, dressed in pink, with golden wings on their backs, and holding harps, their faces gloomy. It seemed that some of the school's professors had organized them to help students deliver love letters, and Xie An looked at the angry goblins and wondered if they would get things done.

All four deans appeared, and the only important person missing from the rostrum was Principal Dumbledore, who seemed to have a constant schedule of things. When the professor saw this arrangement, some of them were very happy, and some of them were like the goblins, their faces full of disgust.

"Hey, Andrew, good morning, have you received flowers?" asked Luna, sleepy-eyed.

"Luna, you should have asked me this question, not Xie An!" Qiu said pretending to be angry.

"Oh, Cho, you were Andrew's girlfriend in the first place, so someone would give you a lover's gift without knowing each other. Luna said.

"But I haven't received a Valentine's Day gift from my so-called boyfriend until now, and I've just confirmed that he wasn't prepared at all!"

"Qiu, I'm too busy during this time, and you don't know it, but since today is a special day, it's really my negligence that I didn't prepare a gift for you, so I'll prepare one for you now. After saying that, Xie An took out a small ring from Mok's bag, this platinum ring looked very ordinary, but there was a brilliant gem on it.

"Oh, Andrew, are you going to propose to Cho, you are not old enough to get married, and if you have to get married, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the Middle, where children are allowed to marry at the age of fourteen. Seeing Xie An take out a ring to give to Qiu, Hermione, who came to breakfast, couldn't help but ask.

"We're only teenagers, and now is not the time to think about that. And the role of this ring is not to decorate. It is engraved with an intricate magic array that stores mana and casts a protective spell at critical moments. ”

After listening to Xie An's words, Qiu, who was flushed, realized that he had also misunderstood. Cho admits that if Andrew really proposed to her right now, he might really agree.

At the thought of her possibility of becoming Xie An's future wife, Qiu's face turned even redder. Xie An handed the ring to Qiu, "You can wear it on your hand or hang it around your neck, it will work." Rings are the most convenient to carry. ”

Qiu Zhen wanted to refuse Xie An fiercely, but seeing the envious eyes of Penelo Crivat on the other side, Qiu snorted, snatched the ring into his hand, and then gave Xie An a small gift with a beautiful packaging, the decorative pattern on it would constantly change, and the flower pattern would always open. As is customary, Xie An opened Qiu's gift, which was a brand-new speculum.

"I know you're often in danger, and this speculum can help you avoid danger in advance, like?"

Although there is already a Yi Pan, Xie An, who doesn't like the speculum very much, sees that it is a Valentine's Day gift from his girlfriend, Xie An still nodded happily.

In the morning, the situation is constant, the leprechaun passes love letters and gifts in the middle of the classrooms, and the dwarf plays the ugly harp in full view of everyone, and reads these strange love letters with a strange frequency.

The strange thing is that for the whole day, no one came to give Xie An any confession. However, both Cho and Hermione were confessed, and of course, both girls decisively refused.

In this case, Xie An still feels a little disgusted by this so-called Valentine's Day, mainly because he is in the front row with Halle Black, the first beauty in this grade receives gifts almost throughout the recess, and the little leprechaun who gave her gifts and confession books still has to queue up.

After a while, there would be a little leprechaun to read those love letters, and Xie An was annoyed.

It's very good to be confessed by someone you like. But the smiles on the faces of wizards who don't know each other at all, or even hate them, are very stiff, and of course such cases are rare. At lunchtime, she heard that some senior witches were harassed very badly, and at last she used it to forget everything, and the little leprechaun who sent her the letter stood on the ground in a daze, and she had already walked away.
