Chapter 11: Passionate Tryouts

It didn't take much time to find the door of Luna's dream, and after the afternoon class, Xie An found Headmaster Dumbledore and several headmasters upstairs in the same place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info If you use your brain a little, you can know that the place where the principal is is very special. The direct doomsday humans didn't have any superfluous actions, and directly took Hermione Luna to take a look.

Finding that some students were coming to watch, Filch was a little unhappy, and was about to drive Xie An away, but Dumbledore had already discovered Xie An and the three.

"Oh, Andrew, is there anything you can do?" Dumbledore asked kindly.

"It's not a big deal, Luna said she saw a monster here when she was sleepwalking, we're just going to make sure. Taking advantage of this time, Xie An has already confirmed some things with Luna. Now it was almost certain that Luna had indeed seen this place somehow.

Dumbledore and Hagrid glanced at each other before saying, "Andrew, please don't talk nonsense about monsters. It's been off-limits since the beginning of the school year, and I hope you'll follow the school's rules. ”

"Of course, Headmaster, I'm just curious if it's appropriate to raise a three-headed monster in a place like the Academy?" Xie An said indifferently.

"Andrew, many things are not as simple as they seem, this is only a temporary decision, and I am trying to persuade my old friend to find a suitable way to deal with this as soon as possible. But it will take a little time. The headmaster was not impatient, but patiently explained the reason to Xie An, although the reason was not clear at all.

"Is it something stolen from Gringotts?" asked Luna suddenly.

"Oh, Miss Lovegood has amazing insight!" Dumbledore looked around at the Deans before smiling, "but I'm afraid it's a bit complicated, I think you'd better study hard, that's what you should do." ”

Xie An looked at Luna suspiciously, he had no impression of the theft of Gringotts, although even Xie An felt that this bank, which was claimed to be the safest in the wizarding world, was not particularly safe.

"Well, Mr. Headmaster, we'll follow the school's rules, but only if Luna doesn't get hurt by the school's hidden secrets while sleepwalking. Xie An continued.

"Oh, of course, of course, it's my responsibility as a principal to protect the students. Professor Flitwick, please send these three smart and stubborn students where they need to go. Dumbledore laughed.

It was almost dinner time, and Professor Flitwick led the three of them directly to the auditorium. Xie An usually keeps a low profile, but with the amazing behavior at the opening ceremony, it is impossible for the Dean of Ravenclaw to be unimpressed by this excellent student. Luna, although she often has some strange opinions, is also excellent in her academic performance. As two excellent Ravenclaw students, Professor Flitwick was certainly happy to talk to them about something else.

"Andrew, you were too rude to the Headmaster just now, Dumbledore, as a great wizard, would not fail to think about the safety of his students. Flitvier shrieked critically.

"Oh, Professor, Luna is my best friend, and I don't want anything to happen to her. Realizing that the professor wanted to protect himself and didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of the principal, Xie An had no choice but to accept the criticism.

"Don't worry, I've been involved in some of these designs, and I can tell you for sure that those things, as dangerous as they are, are very difficult for students to cause fatal injuries. Professor Flitwick whispered.

"What, Professor, do you mean that there are other designs besides those monsters? By the way, what is the stolen thing from Gringotts that Luna mentioned?" Xie An keenly realized that this matter was not as simple as he thought. There may be a bigger secret hidden in it.

"Of course, it's a whole plan, or it's even more interesting now, Dumbledore seems to know something from the Gringotts incident, he's made a new plan based on the latest speculation, and... Forget it, Dumbledore doesn't want me to tell you this. But as for the protected thing, it is indeed precious, and it can help wizards defeat time to a certain extent!" Professor Flitwick's explanation only aroused the curiosity of the three of them, and even Hermione looked at the Ravenclaw Dean with a curious expression.

"Professor, your explanation is not clear at all, Dumbledore changed his plan to strengthen the protection of that thing, and what is that thing?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.

Professor Flitwick smiled at Hermione, and instead said to Luna, "Ravenclaw is known for his intelligence, and it would be a lot less fun to know the answer to a puzzle, and I don't think Dumbledore wants me to tell you too much." But Miss Lovegood, I think that as your dean and senior, I can discuss something else with you. For example, if you read the books in the Ravenclaw Library about death and how to stop it, you may have unexpected gains. Oh, and as a reminder, not the too drastic one, but the milder one. ”

The auditorium was already full of students for dinner, and although Xie Ann wanted to ask for more, Professor Flitwick had politely said goodbye. Hermione looked at Luna expectantly, and Luna looked at Shea blankly.

Flitwick saw that I was a straightforward person and didn't like to play guessing games with him, and Hermione couldn't get into the Ravenclaw library, so she had to give Luna the puzzle. The milder ways to stop death, no, are the milder books about death and how to stop it. I'm afraid there is no other way but to look for it in the library. Xie An shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said to the two girls.

"Well, why don't you look for it now? Hermione said eagerly, and the girl's urge to learn and curiosity could not wait for a moment.

"Let's eat first, I'm a little hungry. Luna seemed to have forgotten that there was a huge secret waiting to be uncovered in front of them, and instead thought about eating with peace of mind.

"Let's go, let's go eat first. Xie An also said.

Hermione may not know what Ravenclaw's library is, but like the Serpent's Chamber, the best treasure that Ravenclaw, known for her wisdom, has left to her heirs is the many treasured books. Although many books were later incorporated into the school library, some meaningful and less powerful books were preserved.

In November, the weather was getting colder, and the common room stove became a favorite place for the students, and Potions class had more reason to be disgusted because of its clammy underground classroom. The Quidditch pitch began to frost, and Madam Pomfrey was busy treating a steady stream of cold patients.

Although Xie An and Luna have worked hard to find the key books, it is really difficult to find the target from the thousands of books that are not classified, and the characteristics of the target books are not so obvious.

After several battles with Professor Flitwick during this period, Xie Ann tried to ask for the results directly, but failed. Xie An found that the Ravenclaw professor's knowledge and intelligence were definitely among the best in the college, no worse than Snape and McGonagall, so he had to give up the idea of asking the answer directly from the professor.

After coincidentally dealing with the trolls that had gone on a rampage in the academy, Xie An met the wise headmaster again.

Xie An directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "Lord Principal, there seem to be more monsters in the school's captivity, and I am deeply worried about my safety. ”

Looking at the dying trolls tormented by Shea'an's powerful smashing spell, and the chaotic walls that surrounded him, Dumbledley sensed Shea'an's powerful magic.

Professor Flitwick preemptively said, "Andrew, this troll is not a domesticated monster in the Academy, it's only temporary..."

"Oh, don't explain it to me, it was really a mistake on my job. If a student has been hurt as a result, I can't escape the blame. Andrew, I'll do a good job of investigating what the hell is going on. Dumbledore said solemnly.

Xie An wanted to take the opportunity to ask something more, but he was already led away from the scene by Professor Flitwick. Along the way, Xie An kept trying to ask about the dark secrets hidden in the school, but Professor Flitwick just spun around in place, not giving Xie An any chance.

"Roger, are you going to train Quidditch, oh, you should probably bring Andrew, he's full of energy right now. Professor Flitwick, who was annoyed by Xie An, immediately said happily when he saw Ravenclaw's Quidditch team.

"Oh, Professor, didn't you say that there was a troll in the castle and all the students were in the common room, and we were going back?" replied Roger Davis.

"Don't worry, this problem has been solved, Andrew burned the troll's wooden stick with a powerful flaming fire, petrified one of the troll's legs with a petrification charm, and finally blinded the troll's eyes with a crushing charm with great cruelty. That dangerous troll is dying, and it won't get in the way of your Quidditch training. After listening to Professor Flitwick's description, everyone looked at Xie An strangely.

Of course, Xie An didn't feel anything, anyway, he was used to killing people, and he didn't have any fear at all when he saw the sluggish and silly trolls.

The Hibiscus Wooden Staff's bonus to the Flame Spell burned the troll's wooden rod to ashes with just a small flame. The troll with a fear of flames originally wanted to escape, but Xie An thought about it and decided to solve the problem on the spot.

Considering that trolls have some resistance skins, Shayne's spell chooses to attack the trolls' calves and ankles. After several spell attacks in quick succession, a petrification spell successfully petrified the troll's ankle.

The troll, unable to grasp its balance, fell to the ground miserably, and the slower-moving troll could not escape Xie An's shattering spell, and its entire right eye was blurred with exploding flesh and blood.

The troll's wail drew the professors, and Professor Flitwick observed and deduced Shea'an's course of battle.

"Professor, I think I still have a few questions for you, can you—" Xie An made a final effort.

"Oh, Andy, combining work and rest is the right way to learn, you have to relax once in a while, Roger, I think Andrew is a good athlete, very strong, and about the same height as you, I heard that you are just about to select new players, you can consider Andrew. "Professor Flitwick is very short, and Shay's height can only be determined by comparing the two.

"But the professor, he's only in the first grade. Roger had only just recovered from the news of the freshman defeating the troll when he heard such an unconventional request from the dean, and instinctively objected.

"It doesn't matter, Andrew can defeat the trolls, and many of you seniors can't! Besides, Greenfington can recruit the best first-year students, why can't we, go ahead, Andrew, it's what students should do when they use your energy on Quidditch. Professor Flitsch insisted.

"Professor, we're training wizards here, not soldiers, and being able to defeat trolls doesn't mean anything, we can't decide everything by force like the Muggle world..."

"Did you really defeat the trolls alone?" After Professor Flitwick left, a group of Quidditch players surrounded him, and Qiu, a beautiful Chinese girl hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but ask the common question in everyone's mind.

"Trolls are hard for you to defeat. Xie An replied impatiently when he saw that Professor Flitwick was soft and hard.

The group of senior students were naturally a little upset when they were despised by a first-year student, and Roger shouted when he saw Professor Flitwick walking away, and everyone began to return to the Quidditch training ground.

"Hey, Andrew, the training ground is over here, you're on the wrong side. Seeing that Xie An didn't mean to follow, Roger shouted.

"Go ahead, I'm not interested in Quidditch. Xie An waved his hand indifferently.

"That's not going to work, Professor Flitwick wants you to see the selection, don't you want to participate?" said the tall Filius.

"I'm not interested in Quidditch. Xie An repeated again.

In fact, Xie An has always been curious about what kind of school Hogwarts is. It's not a military school, and there's no dedicated training for wizard soldiers or wizard killers. But many Aurors graduated from Hogwarts. In addition, judging from the course learning during this time, there are few spells about fighting, and most spell books do not describe spells as a method that can attack and kill, but more like a skill for life and work. In the same way that antimatter can be used as a weapon or as an energy source, it seems that Hogwarts has deliberately downplayed the killing side of magical combat, and instead focused more on the practical aspects of life.

Flame Charms can be used to light gas stoves or other things, but are rarely described as being able to burn enemies. In general, the Ministry of Magic does not seem to be willing to educate these students to become combat experts like the Dark Lord, preferring instead to make these students harmless and able to live well with magic - Wizards of Peace.

In the apocalypse, where will humanity believe in the nonsense that wizards will develop peacefully.

Xie An, who always hopes that he can master a more powerful weapon, has time to play Quidditch. After Xie An rejected Quidditch's invitation again, he wanted to turn around and leave, but the sensible Chinese girl, Qiu, ran over instead: "It's just to participate in the selection, and it won't necessarily be selected, I'm going to the selection too, so you should cheer for me." ”

The beautiful girl's invitation Xie An couldn't refuse stiffly, so he had to reluctantly follow Qiu to the Quidditch pitch.

The routine Quidditch training was getting more and more intensive, and although Ravenclaw had already booked the venue in advance today, it still had to use half of the same reserved venue with Greenington.

Everyone was a little impatient, but fortunately, the captain of Ravenclaw was quite reliable, and the tryouts were well organized. Autumn was successfully selected for the position of Seeker, and became a rival to Harry Potter on the field. Xie An watched everyone flying around boredly, and secretly compared in his heart, the killing passion on the battlefield was more passionate than this so-called passion sport.
