Chapter 246: Ancient Potions (6)
The number of wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has increased so much, and so do the elves have to do their daily work. www.biquge.info During this time, Penelope Crewatt had been studying with Elder Dora, and she spent all her time with elves except for studying the scriptures. Penelope gradually understands that elves are kind and hardworking beings, and they give a lot to wizards, but they get too little.
As the weather warms up, the students in the castle are becoming more and more fond of outdoor activities. The trees in the Forbidden Forest began to sprout, and the willows sprouted new branches. The last time the basilisk flowed from the secret passage under the beating willow to Hogsmeade, and the poison of the basilisk corroded the roots of the beating willow, making the beating willow almost dead. Fortunately, the dean of Hufflepuff later used a magical potion to bring the beating willow back to life and grow new leaves.
"The Quidditch tournament has been really exciting these days, in addition to the four teams from our school, the other five schools have also formed two teams, and the best of them are on par with our team members. ”
"It's not comparable, I think our school team seems to be weaker. ”
"That's counting Victor Klum, who is a professional player, and our house team can only be considered an amateur. Without him, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff, that Harry Potter, and by the way, our Quidditch princess, Cho Chang, are all good hands!"
The two Ravenclaws were discussing the friendly Quidditch match in the past few days, and a blonde girl asked curiously, "Is that Autumn Zhang you are talking about, the witch who caught the Golden Snitch during the game yesterday?"
The Ravenclaws looked back and saw a sweet-looking young girl, asking thoughtfully.
"Yes, it's her, he's our strongest Ravenclaw Seeker, and he's contributed to our Ravenclaw Quidditch team several key kills!"
"It turned out to be her, no wonder Paul went to see Quidditch every day these days, and didn't have time to crack the magic script!" The blonde hair on the girl's head quickly changed color, turning a flaming red. "Are you the Animagus of Disguise?" asked a Ravenclaw in surprise.
The girl snorted and left.
Penelo Crivat, who had been studying magic with Elder Dora for another night, was just about to eat his breakfast when he saw Vera, a red-haired Ilvermorny warrior, come over angrily.
"Penelope Criwatt, where did you go yesterday? Didn't you make an appointment to study the magic script together? Why didn't you and Paul come? Lina and I waited for you for so long!"
Vera of Ilvermorny, Paul, Lina from Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Penelope Crivat, the four of them are the second group of Warriors. Of the four, two are from Ilvermorny, and the strength of this group is quite good, and under normal circumstances, the strength of witches is stronger than that of male witches.
"Vera, have you had breakfast? I don't remember we had an appointment?" replied Penelo Crivat, taking a sip of yogurt, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Merlin, didn't I give you a note during class yesterday, didn't you see it?"
"It turned out that it was a note you passed to me, I thought someone was mischievous and threw me with a paper ball! Vera, next time you can just use magic to make the note fly to me, why do you want to throw it in a ball and throw it at me, so that it looks like you are not a wizard!"
"When do you still have the heart to pay attention to this? I've already inquired, and the other two groups of warriors already have a clue, and they've started translating the script, and the first level is only two months long, and we've wasted a quarter of our time. If we don't take action, we'll be eliminated in the first level!" Vera said angrily.
"You're right, Vera, I'm working on it now!" Penelope Crivat ate a little mashed potato and took out a piece of parchment from his magic robe, the recipe of the ancient potion could not be copied, could not be copied with a copy spell, and could not be discerned by other wizards, but the warrior could record his feelings or annotations about the recipe.
"Do you have a clue then?" asked Vera, expectantly.
"Not at the moment, this kind of magic is completely different from the magic I have studied, it seems to have some connection, but the connection is not big, I think I need some time!" Penelo Crivat shrugged helplessly.
"Oh, as I thought, Penello, right now I'm very worried about the future of our team. You and Paul don't seem to attach much importance to this competition, I really don't know why you signed up in the first place, and why you didn't know how to cherish it. You know, if we can get an advantage in the first level, we can have a good start in the second level, and we did a good job in the first two levels, maybe in the future, we can accumulate enough advantages to win directly!"
Penelope Crivat smiled, Vera is really innocent and cute, even if their group achieves good results in the first four levels, but eternal honor can only belong to one wizard.
Thinking of this, Penelo Criveat said: "Vera, the situation is not as bad as you think, so let's do it, since you have been proposing, let's go to Paul and Lina in a while, and let's talk together today to see if everyone has any good ideas." ”
Vera nodded. The red hair on her head gradually turned back to blonde.
In order to cooperate well with the actions of the warriors, the teaching format of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has also changed somewhat since the beginning of this semester, and more students from the other five schools have begun to appear in the classroom. These students are obviously not on the same page as the British education system, and they don't have to sit for the ultimate wizarding test. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry classes have become more self-study, with professors answering questions rather than forcing all students to complete their homework at the same pace.
After eating his meat floss mashed potatoes and drinking the yogurt, Penelope looked not far away, where Andrew Lee was eating breakfast alone.
"That person is Cho Zhang's boyfriend, and he doesn't look like a big deal!" Vera didn't eat breakfast, I heard that it was to keep her figure. Following Penelope's gaze, Vera saw a dark-haired wizard slowly eating breakfast.
Penelope smiled again, "Vera, although you are very talented, there is still a little gap compared to him. ”
"Hmph, I don't believe it, if he's really that good, why don't he participate in the competition, I don't think he has that ability, even if he registered, he wasn't selected. ”
It is clear that the reason why he was selected was because Xie An asked Elder Dora to help him get the opportunity to compete with many talents this time, and Penelope Crivat certainly did not think that Andrew Lee did not have such skills. He once defeated Cedric Diggory with strange doppelganger magic, and Penelo Cryvat also witnessed how he used terrible black magic to turn the entire Tower of London into a lava lake, so the reason why the wizard is strong and does not participate in the tournament may be that the enemy is too weak.
With a wry smile, Penelope said: "Vera, in short, don't provoke him, your strength is too far from him." ”
Vera was just about to refute, but suddenly remembered something, turned to a mysterious smile, and said: "Forget it, I won't fight with you, after all, they are all from your Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I understand what you mean." Now let's go, Paul should be in Quidditch and Lina should be in the library. ”
The two went to the library together, and Lina from the Suzaku School of Magic was already in the library.
"Hey, Zhou, Lina, you've arrived!" The two warriors of the Vermilion Bird School of Magic, Zhou Shang and Lina, were already in the window position, studying the magic script.
"Good morning. Zhou Shang nodded to Penelo Crivat and Vera.
"Zhou, how's the progress of your group?" Vera couldn't help but ask. She had just heard Lina say that Zhou Shang's third group had a clue and began to translate.
"I'm ashamed to say that it took so long to just have a clue. If it weren't for Dokru and Mira, we'd be spinning around like headless flies right now. "Dokru is the apprentice of the Zeman wizard, and he already knows something about the culture of the Animagus dynasty in Egypt, although the Zeman wizard has not taught this kind of magic script, but Dokru can still find some connections. Mira, as the only witch in Durmstrang, is extremely talented, and just relying on a little inspiration from Dokru, she really found a good clue, and now the four of them have followed this clue and began to translate some simple sentences.
Hearing that as Lina said, the third group of warriors had begun to translate, Vera couldn't help but be a little angry, snorted and said, "Lina, let's go to Paul now, the four of us must work together, otherwise we will lose." ”
Lina looked at Vera suspiciously, saw that Vera's hair had turned a strange black, and turned to Penelope Crewatt, who seemed a little absent-minded, "Vera, where is Paul? ”
"Okay, you can lend out the tool books you need, and I'll hold them for you, what we need now is the belief that we will win. Vera pulled Lina out of her position. Lina had no choice but to follow Vera to the Quidditch field.
The early training matches are over, and there will be friendly matches in the afternoon. By this time, most of the students had left. Only a few Quidditch players are still practicing on the field.
The trio entered the arena through the aisle and found Paul chatting with several Ravenclaw Quidditch players on the field. Vera was angry. The hair turned fiery red.
"Zhang, you are doing so well today, you will definitely become a professional Quidditch player in the future, a star in the limelight! No wonder they all call you Quidditch Princess, you really look like a noble princess on the Quidditch field. Paul tried to praise Autumn, but Autumn didn't look at him at all, but the other teammates laughed, "Paul, yes, Ilvermorny classmate, our Quidditch princess already has her Prince Charming, so don't bother here." After saying that, several team members burst out laughing.
Paul was embarrassed for a moment, but he was not ready to give up, so he was about to launch another offensive, when he heard a familiar female voice behind him: "Paul, you loser, you only know how to find beautiful women all day long, haven't you heard what people say, people are already famous, what are you doing to make a scene?!"
Listening to this voice, Paul already knew that it was Miss Vera who arrived, "Vera, you don't care what I do every day, what I do, I want to see that beauty, it's my freedom, I don't need you to care." They are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. ”
"Paul, I don't need you to be afraid, I just ask you, have you solved the formula of the ancient potion?" Vera said coldly. Knowing that although Vera has a bad temper, she is kind at heart, and she speaks angrily, but she will not go to her heart, and speaking coldly like this makes her really angry, Paul hurriedly turned around and smiled: "Miss, don't be angry, don't I want to learn the knowledge of ancient magic texts in other ways," Seeing that Penelo Criwatt and Lina were there, Paul continued, "You are all here, it just so happens that we can study it together today, what do you think, Vera?"
"Whatever you want, Paul, I want you to understand that you are not only representing yourself, but that you are not simply fighting for your personal honor. You represent Ilvermorny, the founder of Ilvermorny, who once wanted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and now that we have such an opportunity, if you don't know how to cherish it, I think all the students will be disappointed. With that, Vera turned and left.
Seeing that Vera had no intention of dissipating, Paul hurried after her.
"Autumn, is the morning training hard?" Penelo Crivat did not follow, and Lina saw that Penelope did not leave, and also stayed, looking at Autumn curiously.
You must know that Qiu is also of Chinese descent, and there are not many wizards in the Far East at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there is only one famous wizard in the Far East like Qiu.
"It's okay, it's a bit hard, but it's fun. Andrew told me that it's good to be happy. Anyway, the chances of becoming a professional player in the future are very slim. Qiu was slightly unhappy, and said sarcastically, of course, not for Penelope, but for her boyfriend.
Andrew didn't know what he was busy with these days, and he never appeared in the Quidditch audience. There was a house game between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff yesterday, and Autumn told her boyfriend early that she hoped Andrew would come to help, and Andrew didn't come.
"You just care about him too much, can't you live without him? I've been annoyed by these ancient magic texts lately, and I can even dream of them. If you can find something you like like like Luna and become a wizard robe designer, it is also a good choice. ”
Cho packed up her Quidditch props and prepared to leave without saying a word, and the Ravenclaw captain reminded her that she would come to watch the game in the afternoon and study new Slytherin tactics, and Cho nodded. The trio leave Quidditch together.
"Qiu, I heard that you are from the Far East, where is your ancestral home?" Lina couldn't help but ask.
Autumn seemed to come back to his senses and found the female warrior of the Suzaku School of Magic, "My grandfather is from the Yellow River region, and my father was born in England. Qiu replied politely.
