Chapter 115: Eve
Professor Moody then quickly introduced the Diamond Heart Charm and the Avada Summation Curse, which greatly shocked the fourth-year wizards. For a while, the only sound in the class was the sound of a pen scratching on parchment. Everyone is busy taking notes.
Since the beginning of the fourth year, the two most lively events at Hogwarts are the upcoming European School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Tournament. The other is Professor Moody's. He frantically introduced the Unforgivable Spell to the students, so that Xiao Wu could get to know him by the way. If he wasn't the best Auror of the British Ministry of Magic all these years. I'm afraid I was forced to leave Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic.
This method of teaching greatly shocked the whole of Hogwarts, and also made the Defence Against the Dark Arts class sweep away the previous atmosphere. Even Slytherin House, even if it is in conflict with Professor Moody. In the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, he will also temporarily lower his head and listen carefully.
The fourth grade is a different course than before. Probably because there was an exam in the fifth grade. Or maybe Dumbledore wanted not to lose face in front of the few schools he visited. Transfiguration, for example, has begun to involve the transformation of living things into dead things. For example, turn a rabbit into a towel, or turn an eagle into a keychain. The increase in difficulty means that the course cannot keep up, which also leads to a significant increase in the amount of homework.
Potions class uses a threatening approach. Professor Snape hinted that he would poison the class and let them try their own antidote.
Professor Snape is a bit proud now, and even though the news of Voldemort's resurrection has been rumored, it can't hide the joy in his heart. It is said that once during class, he actually had a smile on the corner of his mouth, which caused the Gryffindor in class to make frequent mistakes, and even two crucible explosions.
Professor Snape couldn't hide his joy. It was because he had already conducted successful magical experiments and was able to clone a rabbit.
For this reason, he specifically talked to Li Lin. Of course, Li Lin's suggestion was to first recall the memories of the person in his memory. Otherwise, the baby he cloned was raised by Snape when he was a child, and I am afraid that he would not be regarded as a father. The other is the defective nature of cloning, which uses magic stones to create a potion. Harness the life force of the Philosopher's Stone to fill in any possible flaws.
Snape did it immediately, of course, if it weren't for the lucidity that still existed in his head. He had long since chosen to resign and leave Hogwarts to concentrate on his business. In the first half of his life, he missed someone, and he has been regretting it since then. He even thought it wasn't for Lily who left him. Nor will he be attacked by Voldemort and eventually die. He hated Harry Potter because he was a descendant of his enemies, but he also couldn't bear to criticize him because he was a descendant of the people he loved.
In this regard, Li Lin could only silently bless.
The students in the school also began to analyze the affairs of several other magic schools,
The first is Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is located in France, and there is naturally a love-hate relationship between England and France, so there is more to know. The principal of Beauxbatons School is Olim Maxim. The school's coat of arms is two golden wands with a cross of three stars, each with three stars. The school does not have the Hogwarts sorting system, and the amazing castle and land of this ancient school of witchcraft and wizardry were partly funded by alchemists Nicol Lemay and Perenarelle Lemay when they visited Beauxbatons as young, making it the most comprehensive and systematic school of magic in all of Europe. Because the school site is hidden, everyone knows that it is in the south of France. But because of magic, no one could draw or point out the location on the map.
Another school of magic and wizardry is Durmstrang, which is famous in the entire wizarding world. Only pure-blood students are admitted, condoning the dark arts. The famous first Dark Lord Grindelwald studied here. The current headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, was once a Death Eater and followed Voldemort. Durmstrang's coat of arms features a double-headed eagle and a deer's head in Cyrillic letters. The location of the school is roughly in the north of Scandinavia, in the north of Sweden or Norway. Although the school has also produced some positive characters, such as the stars of the Quidditch World Cup, the school has not had a good reputation because of Grindelwald.
These two schools can still be found in the history of British magic, so the students also have a general understanding of them, and they can also say a few words casually in their daily communication. Only the Soviet State School of Magic gave them a headache. This is really a school that has never been recorded in history, even Professor Binns, who teaches the history of magic class, the ghost of this living unknown number of people. I can't give a definite answer. All he knew was that when the Soviet Union was not called the Soviet Union, there was a school of magic. But now I can't even name it.
Li Lin is clear about this reason. Just as Hitler was in a quagmire in the Soviet Union, Grindelwald failed to achieve anything at the Soviet School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He even suffered heavy losses to his allies, so much so that Grindelwald retaliated wildly, completely destroying the school of magic and magic, and cursing the school to erase its name from the world. No one has ever been able to name the school of magic, and no one has been able to build a house on the school's original site.
Of course, all this science work is carried out by Ravenclaw students. In fact, the most knowledgeable people in the entire school are these Ravenclaws. Of course, everyone knows only about the school, the teaching method in the school, and the level of wizards in the school.
So under the huge pressure of studying, things gradually subsided, and everyone occasionally talked about who the Hogwarts warriors would be. But the peace didn't last long, and Hogwarts soon added to the fire.
After eating again, as Li Lin and Hermione passed through the foyer, they found a large group of students huddled around a large revelation erected at the foot of the marble staircase, making it almost impossible for them to move forward.
The two of them gathered around and watched the revelation.
The inscription reads: "Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, a representative of the USSR State School of Magic and Wizardry, will arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 30. Afternoon
The class will end half an hour early, when students are asked to return their school bags and textbooks to the dormitory, meet in front of the castle, meet our guests, and then participate in the welcome banquet. ”
The fire ignited the entire Hogwarts in an instant. The anticipation of the beginning of the school year has almost turned into action. For the next week, the European School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Tournament was almost the only topic of conversation, and people were talking about it wherever they went. A cleaning campaign has also begun in the school. The castle was thoroughly cleaned, from the oil paintings to the polished armor. Filch, the janitor, even picks up the students' shoes, demanding that they be cleaned before they can walk around the castle.
Even the faculty and staff were nervous. The pressure of teaching has increased again and again, and the usually strict professors have even begun to yell.
In this case, Li Lin was not too worried, after all, the participation of the Soviet State School of Magic in the competition was promoted by Li Lin.
The reason is that because of Voldemort's relationship, Li Lin only destroyed one piece of Voldemort's soul in the final analysis, plus only two diaries. Now there is news of Voldemort's resurrection in Britain, which means that Voldemort has returned with other Horcruxes. But he was still weak.
Li Lin has always been wary of this second Dark Lord, although Voldemort's magic power is not Deng Liduo's opponent, but Deng Binduo is old. And the most powerful thing about Voldemort is not his strength, but that he has too many followers. Pure-blood families control more than 60% of the magical resources of the United Kingdom, and even the Ministry of Magic, pure-blood factions can influence more than half of the seats. You must know that this is the time when the food eater and apprentice have been purged after Voldemort's defeat.
Moreover, Voldemort still holds the Covenant in his hands, and those dark races that are hidden deeply, such as giants, and even some magical creatures. This is what Voldemort fears Li Lin the most.
That's why he arranged for people from the Soviet National School of Magic to join this competition. After all, Voldemort would need the blood of Harry Potter in order to perform a full resurrection ritual and resurrect himself completely.
