Chapter 351: Back to Hogwarts
On the other side of the globe, on a small island in the southwest of England, Shayne and Queen Anne and Harley Black had been in the monastery for a few days, and it had been a very quiet time. Each day begins with the rising of the sun and the nuns start their day under the guidance of Mama. There are no mobile phones or computer appliances here, which seems a bit primitive and more free in comparison.
The castle is more than 100 years old, and at high tide it becomes an island, with the sea swaying like a cradle and the silhouette of the monastery in the sunset, mysterious and lonely.
History and time are one of the most important dimensions that make up this world, and without the memory of history, we would not understand why we made different decisions. The Soul Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and its research on magic and witchcraft has reached an incredible level in many ways. Queen Anne found some very dangerous magic from the Crouch family's heritage, which allowed wizards to manipulate souls and memories directly.
With the help of Queen Anne, Bellatrix Lestrange will not be in any danger for the time being. Even if Voldemort had the heart to continue to drain her life force, the seal would have prevented Bellatrix Lestrange's life from passing. After making sure that her mother was not in danger, Harley Black returned to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with Shay.
The school is still the same as it was, and Halle Black has a feeling of being separated from the world when she sees her lively and happy classmates. Every wizard has a completely different trajectory of life, some may have a peaceful life and go to the end of life in the ordinary, while others, like Harry Potter, are destined not to enjoy the tranquility of life from the moment they are born.
The castle forms a small protected world, where you don't have to face the dangers of the dark wizards and don't have to think too much about the future. Animagus, who has always been inseparable from Halle Black, came to greet her outside the castle gate for the first time, and Halle Black hugged the big black dog affectionately.
"Well, I'll go in first, Harley, and if there's anything you can ask the owl to bring me a letter. "The situation in Xie An's body is still very bad, after the Hell Picture and Xie An's body are combined, his entire body has become a Demon Pattern Formation, at this time, as long as Xie An uses too much magic power, those Hell Pictures will descend on the current world and erode everything around him. This erosion is different from previous erosions that can be controlled, and if you stay in this realm for a little longer, you will be assimilated into a part of the picture of hell.
Unfortunately, Xie An had no way to control the process at all, the power of erosion came entirely from the void, he was just a channel. And those magic powers were not any magic that was already known, and seemed to be more subtle and chaotic than the doomsday destruction power that Xie An knew.
In such a situation, with the power of the demigods, there is no way to help. Queen Anne was anxious, but Xie An was calmer. He had lived on the verge of death for too long, and Xie An had long been accustomed to this threat of death. Death itself is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no choice, everything is empty.
The library inside the castle of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of the most comprehensive libraries in the wizarding UK, and Shea needs to find some clues from the library. Although Xie An's situation may have never been encountered.
After returning to the castle, Shea had his dodo deliver a note to Cho and Luna, and he went to the auditorium alone. Hundreds of candles float in the air, glowing bright yellow. The ceiling appears a little dim, and the oval moon is very noticeable. Year 5 students get together to discuss their upcoming holiday trips, even though it's still a long way off. But it's tempting to be able to interact with wizards from other countries and make an appointment to travel to another country during the holidays. After all, it's just the Americas or the country of China, and they are both places with very beautiful scenery.
The junior students gathered in twos and threes, playing various games, exchanging cards and other toys with each other, and Xie An heard them whispering about the situation of the warriors, as if something was wrong with the warriors, and several professors had been sent to the Far East.
The faculty desk was a little empty, Albus Dumbledore was gone, and the other tutors from the other schools were gone, only Professor McGonagall, Severus Snape, and Professor Flitwick, and the Hufflepuff Dean were not there.
Xie An walked straight to the faculty member, and Hagrid sat on the very edge, the first to notice him. "Hey, Andrew, you've been taking time off for the past few days, are you feeling better now?" Xie An and Hagrid knew each other, and their relationship was not close.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm a lot better. Hagrid's loud voice drew the attention of all the professors, even the ghost Professor Binns looked up. Xie An walked up to Professor Flitwick, "Professor, I'm back. β
Flitwick nodded, "Now that you're in order, it's time to take a good lesson." Now that I'm missing a lot of courses, I have to work harder, and if I don't understand anything, you can always ask me. The average wizard level test is not something to fool around. β
In front of so many professors, Professor Flitwick didn't say much, and after criticizing Xie An a few words in a decent manner, he motioned for him to leave, but Professor Minerva McGonagall asked, "Is Halle Black back?" in a low voice, she didn't want anyone other than the three directors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to hear it. Xie An nodded, "She came back with me, and she should have arrived in the castle by now." Professor McGonagall didn't say anything. Severus Snape looked at Shea with great meaning, as if he wanted to see his inner thoughts in Shea's eyes.
It's a pity that this is destined to not work, because the hell picture at this time has completely merged with Xie An's body, and any magic that wants to peek into Xie An's heart must break through the attack of the hell picture.
After getting off the teaching desk, his girlfriend Qiu was already waiting not far away. Autumn is really beautiful, her long black and silky hair combined with her healthy face, exuding girlish energy, and her long-term participation in Quidditch training makes her figure very attractive. Although it wasn't long ago, Qiu still gave Xie An a big hug. Xie An could smell the faint fragrance on Qiu's body.
"Autumn, can you let me take a breath first, I've been on a long journey and want to have some mashed potatoes and ice cream first. Xie An said jokingly with a faint smile on his face. Although Qiu's magic power was not mentioned, she had gradually occupied a certain place in Xie An's heart.
Qiu's full cheeks flushed, and she let go of the hands that were holding Xie An tightly, "Of course, let's go over there." The two of them arrived at the Ravenclaw table together, and there were not many students eating, and when Shayne sat down, there were already mashed potatoes, bread, and a beef salad ready. Xie An scooped the mashed potatoes with a spoon and took a bite, feeling the burning sensation in his body slightly relieved.
"Did anything happen at the school during this time?" Xie An whispered to Qiu beside him. There were also some students from Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the Ravenclaw table, and these students looked at the two of them curiously. Luna is gone, and neither is Penelope Crivat, who became a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Warrior. The only familiar faces were the twins on the Gryffindor table, who were grimacing at each other.
"Something really strange happened. Qiu smeared the bread with honey and handed it to Xie An, "It seems that the connection between the twelve warriors participating in the tournament and the school has been broken. β
Xie An took the bread, and he didn't really care too much about the warriors. The tournament is a very important thing for these children, and for Xie An, it has little impact. If it weren't for Penelope Crivat's specific request, Shea might not have had any interest in the competition.
"Broken contact? Penelope Krivat can't be contacted? What about Cedric Diggory? I think Cedric Diggory is still more magical. "Penelo Crivat has Elder Dora teach elven magic, this kind of magic is slightly different from ordinary wizard magic, and it may play an unexpected role at critical moments, but unfortunately Xie An doesn't know what Penelo Crivat is facing. As for Cedric Diggory, Xie An had fought with him face to face, and Xie An knew very well that Cedric Diggory's combat power had surpassed the vast majority of ordinary wizards, and he could be regarded as a third-rate wizard, even if compared with some ordinary Aurors, what he lacked was just experience.
Although the other warriors Xie An had never fought against them, the level of wizards in these schools was actually not much different, and they should not be weak to say, and it was indeed strange that they all lost contact at once.
"I don't know too much that there are already mentors who have gone to the Far East. I think it will be resolved satisfactorily. Qiu said with some uncertainty. Historically, there have been records of casualties in tournaments, but there has never been a case of a Warrior being wiped out. And this time there will be the most warriors, each school sent two warriors, there shouldn't be any big accidents.
In fact, on the contrary, the explosion of difficulty and the lack of preparation have made this group of warriors actually on the verge of life and death.
Xie An nodded noncommittally, and turned to ask about the autumn period. Ravenclaw's Quidditch team has always been in the middle of the four houses, and the pressure is even greater after joining a combined team of five other schools. During this time, Qiu spent most of his time training. There have been several wins and losses in several games, and it seems that for now, the third position is retained for the time being.
"In addition to Quidditch, the school seems to have prepared an exchange event for students to send to other schools during the summer holidays, which will last about two months. Cho finally said.
"What does this mean, is it going to allow Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students to complete their studies at another school for a while? Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has long been the best school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and there is no need for Hogwarts students to study at any other school, whether it's Ilvermorny or Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the northwest corner of Europe. Now that the Ministry of Magic has put aside its pride and is ready to arrange for students to go out on exchanges, this is indeed interesting.
"It's just a rumor at school, and I've heard it from the students of the Suzaku School of Magic. It seems that the Ministry of Magic has decided to further strengthen the integration of schools to fight against the increasingly powerful alliance of dark wizards. Qiu said seriously.
"Dark Wizard Alliance?, what is that?" Xie An put down the juice and asked even more suspiciously.
"This name has only recently been invented, it turns out that there are terrible dark wizard organizations all over the world, except for the Death Eaters in Wizarding Britain, the wizard army in Europe, the Magic Mountain organization in the Far East, the evil sects in the Americas, the Tribal Horns in Africa, etc., in short, after the exchange, it was found that in addition to the Death Eaters, there are such terrible organizations all over the world. Qiu said with some uneasiness.
"So our classmates found that if we don't join forces, we will be wiped out?" Xie An said in a low voice. These wizards have only discovered the most superficial things now, they don't know that under the undercurrent, there are Tang, there are demigod organizations and so on, these real giants, but it is really messy now, before the Death Eaters, as one of the top forces in Britain, were unexplained that all the elites were eliminated, including Voldemort, the high-level Death Eaters were actually all controlled, which shows how powerful the forces hidden under the water are.
"It seems that the dark wizards haven't united yet. If we can unite first, we can fight more and fight less and eliminate them as soon as possible. Autumn said to herself.
Xie An smiled, of course Qiu could have such naΓ―ve thoughts. But Albus Dumbledore shouldn't be stupid. During this time, the wizarding army in the European continent is said to have secretly controlled the ministries of magic in some small countries, including Romania, Ukraine, Andorra and other countries The ministries of magic are also in danger, and it is probably too late to think of the union at this time.
And what is even more urgent is that the Tang organization has begun to erode the wizarding Britain, the last time in the Gringotts dungeon, Xie An saw with his own eyes how those powerful wizards dealt with the dragon guards of Gringotts, and now Xie An has suspected that many of the high-level leaders of the Death Eaters may have been controlled by the Tang organization. There is not enough information, Xie An does not know Voldemort's whereabouts, Xie An does not even know if Voldemort is still alive now, and can only be inferred through some clues.
After Queen Anne became a demigod, she had clearly told Xie An that she could perceive that there were not many wizards in this world who were as powerful as her. Although there is no covenant or organization between the demigods, Xie An, who has personally experienced the magic of the demigods, naturally knows that these wizards are the real beasts at the top of the food chain.
"Don't worry, we're safe now, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of the safest castles in the world, isn't it?" Xie An comforted when he noticed that Qiu was a little worried.
"But my mother wrote to me that the situation in wizarding Britain is very bad now, and the Ministry of Magic has asked all wizards to prevent terrorist attacks and not go to crowded places, and she advised me to take a break from school for a while. Autumn whispered.
Xie An was slightly stunned, and then he thought that the children here still have their parents who care, and most of their parents are ordinary wizards, whether it is facing the Death Eaters or the organization Tang, they have no power to fight back.
