Chapter 62: Exchange Students
Hogwarts Castle sits on a treacherous peak.
It's more of a giant labyrinth than a magic school.
Even the ghosts that roam the castle every day can't figure out how many secret passages are hidden here.
Even Albus, who was known for his erudition and wisdom. Dumbledore, for a long time, did not know that in the secret passage of the underground water pipe, there was a terrifying and terrifying basilisk lurking.
After wasting a lot of time in the headmaster's office full of portraits, and borrowing books in the library, Lu Li finally returned to the room Dumbledore had arranged for him.
I have to say that Dumbledore is still very kind.
The spacious rooms are facing north and south, and the sun is shining in, and all the facilities are available.
The scenery outside the window is as beautiful as a picture, and people can't help but feel pleasing to the eye.
Lu Li declined Harry's offer to show him around Hogwarts, and politely declined Lu's invitation to have afternoon tea with him.
He was most interested in the magical spells of the wizarding world right now.
"I'm sure you're going to be good friends with Hermione." Harry looked at the stacked books in the room and said with genuine admiration.
"Do you really stop thinking about it? There wasn't much left of that delicious gordigan tea. Luna was also a little disappointed, and said with regret on her face.
"Next time, Luna. I think I'll be at Hogwarts for a long time, so I'll have opportunities in the future. Lu Li said with a slight smile.
"I think the Sorting Hat will put him in Ravenclaw." As soon as she stepped out of the room, Luna said to Harry inexplicably.
There was no beginning or end to such a sentence, but the blonde girl's tone was unusually firm, as if she had decided that what she said was the truth.
"I think it's Gryffindor, after all, not everyone has the courage to come out and fight Voldemort." Harry thought for a moment, and retorted.
Lu Li watched the boy and the girl go away, he naturally heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't plan to wear that hat that might not have been cleaned for more than a thousand years.
Time slips through your fingers, and even more so when you're focused on one thing.
On a long table made of elm wood sits a kerosene lamp, the burning wick emitting a dim light that attempts to light up the room.
Standard Spells – Elementary, by Miranda Goshak.
Lu Li looked at the entry-level spell books with great interest, while casually waving a wand more than ten inches long.
Each wand is made of a different material, and for every wizard, their wand is extremely important.
While wands are regulated by the Ministry of Magic, in modern parlance, they should be similar to regulated knives.
But for the Headmaster of Hogwarts, especially the White Wizard who has defeated the Dark Lord many times, there will always be some idle loot that has not been handed in.
"Fluorescent flickering."
With the clear sound of the spell, the tip of the wand made of walnut emitted a glowing glow.
"Sure enough, it's about the same as I guessed." Lu Li extinguished the kerosene lamp, and there was a hint of joy in his soft self-muttering.
Chakra is a product of the combination of physical and mental energy in cells.
This is also the source of material energy constituted by ninjas when performing ninjutsu, illusions, and physical arts.
And in this world full of magic, the so-called magic is actually the spiritual energy contained in everyone's body.
He was able to refine chakra, which meant that he should be able to perform magic.
With the ninjutsu that Lu Li has mastered now, although he is safe from himself, he may still have some difficulty in defeating Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
And an old-timer who has defeated demons with magic many times once said, "Only magic can defeat magic." ”
......
Early in the morning, the palatial Hogwarts Great Hall.
At the four long tables, many students sat down one after another, and students from the four colleges sat at their respective places to eat.
Of course, there are quite a few professors here.
Lu Li stood in the corner of the foyer of the auditorium, curiously looking at the surrounding environment.
"Here, my friend."
On the long table in Ravenkla, a blonde girl waved her arms at Lu Li, shouting with great joy on her face.
Luna's voice had an ethereal feel, and her movements, naturally attracted the attention of many people in the auditorium.
"Who's that guy?"
At the Gryffindor table, Hermione Granger asked curiously, even though she felt that the few guys around her couldn't possibly know the answer.
"Miss Jack-of-all-trades, is there anything else at Hogwarts that you don't know?" The young man with a freckle on his nose stuffed food into his mouth and said inarticulately.
"Ron, you're a nuisance." Hermione frowned and complained, Miss Know-It-All wasn't a compliment.
"Good morning, Harry."
While Lu Li walked towards Luna with a smile, he passed by Harry's location and said hello to him.
"Good morning." Harry also smiled and replied kindly.
"Harry, who is this man?"
There were very few things at Hogwarts that Hermione didn't know, so the jack-of-all-trades lady asked Harry impatiently before she had even gone far from the land.
"You'll find out later." Harry smiled mysteriously and sold his companion.
Hermione pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but didn't continue to ask.
Dumbledore had told Harry and Luna yesterday that he should not tell anyone else about Lu Li's identity for the time being.
"How's the books from yesterday?"
Before Lu Li could sit down beside Luna, the blonde girl couldn't wait to ask.
"There's a lot I don't know, especially about potions." Lu Li said while eating the food on the long table.
Although many potions didn't have much effect on Lu Li, he was still very interested in potions such as elixirs.
"Professor Snape is highly accomplished in Potions, but I wouldn't advise you to consult him." Luna stared at Lu Li for a while, and then said very seriously.
Bite! Bite! Bite!
The spoon struck the metal vessel with a few crisp crashing sounds.
"Students, while you enjoy a hearty breakfast, I would like to announce one thing." Dumbledore's voice reached the ears of everyone in the Great Hall.
The voice is loud, and it's like a spell tailored to teach this profession.
"This semester, we welcomed an exchange student from the ancient Oriental country - Mr. Lu Li. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you. Dumbledore raised his glass and gestured in the direction of Lu Li.
This was something Dumbledore had agreed with him yesterday to let Lu Li study magic at Hogwarts as an exchange student.
Otherwise, the Ministry of Magic would never allow a person with a shady identity to enter Hogwarts.
Lu Li stood up from Luna's side, and bent slightly to the professors in front of him and the little wizards around him, and performed a Western-style etiquette.
He follows the local customs, and he has no rejection of the country's culture.
A round of applause followed, proving that Dumbledore, the headmaster, was still very popular at Hogwarts.
"Welcome to Hogwarts."
The Ravenclaw students with the prefect badge played an exemplary role at this time.
"I think we should have a lot of common language."
Zhang Qiu sat next to Luna, a sorceress with a delicate oriental appearance, who also expressed her welcome to Lu Li.
"Thank you." Lu Li glanced at the goddess of Harry's dreams and said with a friendly smile.
"A wizard who can be friends with a mad girl must also have something different."
Ron swallowed the food in his mouth, his tone a little more weighty on the word "different".
It's not that he has any prejudice against Lu Li, it's just that most people don't like to be friends with the weird blonde witch who talks about strange things all day long.
"No, Lu Li is a very powerful friend. By the way, the kunai you rushed to ask for yesterday was a gift from him. Harry's tone was a little mysterious, and he said with some smugness.
"Really? Harry. ”
Miss Know-It-All narrowed her eyes, and her instincts told her that it didn't seem as simple as it seemed.
"What should we call him, friend of the mad girl?"
"Silly boy? Or is it a crazy boy? ”
With a keen sense of hearing, even in a noisy environment, Lu Li still heard a few unfriendly voices around him.
