Chapter 61: Under the World Tree

When Harry told Hermione about the two days. In addition to being shocked by the wonderful adventures of the two, what makes this clever little witch most angry is that Lockhart is really a liar.

"He really pressed the deeds of other people on his own head!" Hermione was furious, crumpled up her heart-marked class schedule and threw it in the trash.

"Be quiet, Hermione," Ron said, "Professor Capet told us to keep it a secret." ”

"I thought his magic was inconvenient to tell us," Hermione said angrily, "that the book he wrote was completely different from what he had done in class, and there was a strong sense of tearing. ”

"I helped him think of a lot of reasons to explain it, and he turned out to be a liar and used this dirty trick to trick other people's stories," Hermione said back to her obsession over the past few months, covering her eyes in shame, "I still like him so much." ”

"I warned you, Hermione, that Lockhart isn't a good guy." Ron's words only came in exchange for Hermione's knife-like look.

-----------------

After the Halloween holidays, the young wizards soon found out that their Defence Against the Dark Arts professor had become the greasy Snape again, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

But Snape quickly put a stop to their actions.

So a rumor spread among the students—

Frightened by the monsters in the secret room, Gilderoy Lockhart escaped from Hogwarts.

"He's just a coward," Pansy Parkinson said, flicking his black hair, "he couldn't even match Malfoy's toes, and Draco cut off the basilisk's tail with a single sword." He didn't even know what to do with the Cornish elves. ”

Unlike Harry and Ron, Draco began to trumpet his adventures among his classmates after the events were over, and naturally avoided the section about Harry and Ron, reportedly asking a reporter for narrative techniques from the Daily Prophet.

This led to a resurgence of his popularity in the Slytherin House, where all the popularity he had lost due to a change of mind returned, and he became a Slytherin hero, a warrior who cut off the snake's tail with a sword, and a student who won the school's Special Contribution Award.

Of course, if someone goes to the school's trophy showroom and takes a look, they will see that there are three people's names on the trophy.

"He's like a flamboyant peacock." Ron looked at Malfoy, who was on his toes and surrounded by a group of Slytherin students behind him, and said with half jealousy and half disdain.

"Let him go, at least he's telling the truth." Harry didn't care about Malfoy's actions, his mind was all about the homework Snape had left behind.

"But listen to what he said," Ron pointed at Malfoy, "without mentioning the two of us at all." I don't know, I still think he defeated the basilisk alone? ”

"True honor is not obscured by words." Harry yawned and said as he suddenly felt the two men in front of him stop.

Harry looked up to see Hermione and Ron both staring straight at him.

"What you just said looks like a Slytherin student would say." Hermione looked into Harry's eyes and said, and Ron nodded in agreement.

Harry shuddered slightly, it was one of the things he feared the most.

"What are you kidding," Harry laughed awkwardly, "I'm a Gryffindor student. This is what Professor Capet told me. ”

"It's really Professor Cape's style." Ron muttered.

The wave of Lockhart's disappearance and Malfoy's heroic deeds were soon overshadowed by another event—Professor Cape's Wizarding Club finally began his first class.

By mid-November, the weather in the Scottish Highlands had begun to turn cold, a flu had begun to spread through the school, and the castle was filled with the smell of little wizards with smoking heads and pick-me-ups.

But this is not the case in a small classroom, where it is as warm as spring blowing from the west wind.

Calvin reclined in a high-backed chair with Basida next to him, acting as his teaching assistant.

In front of him stood young wizards of different grades and different academies. In their eyes, Calvin could see novelty and longing.

"It's good, everyone is here, after all, it's the first party in this club."

Calvin got up lazily from his chair, "Some time ago, I had to put a lot of effort into cleaning up the aftermath because of that attack. Otherwise, today's first meeting would have been held ten days ago. ”

"But it's all over and I can prepare for the club."

Calvin walked over to a painting hanging on the wall depicting a withered World Tree.

"First things first, remember the name of this club – the origins."

Calvin took out his wand and tapped the dry World Tree on the painting. A wave of greenery instantly climbed the entire World Tree under the gaze of the little wizards, and the whole painting was a kind spring scene.

However, the change did not end - spring came from the painting and came outside the painting, covering the entire classroom. The classroom vanished, everyone stood on a vast grassland, and the World Tree appeared above them.

The young wizards glared and watched the changes that took place around them, unlike any magic they had ever known.

Only George whispered to Cedric, who was standing beside him, "Did Professor Capet teach you this?" ”

"No, it's the first time I've seen this magic."

"World Tree." Percy whispered that he had seen the sign on Charlie's badge.

"Yes, World Tree." Calvin nodded approvingly at Percy, "Many wizards in ancient times believed that the World Tree was the origin of magic, and it stretched out four branches to hold up the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, and the first wizard was born under this tree. ”

"He has many names, Kaos, Buli, Ra, Pangu......"

"Of course, the name of the first wizard is not important, the important thing is that later wizards believed that the first wizard was born under this tree and regarded it as the origin of magic."

So this ancient sign was widely used in alchemy, ancient magic scripts, and ancient seals. Even in the non-magical world, the World Tree is quite famous, though Muggles consider it a mystical symbol. ”

"While current research suggests that the World Tree is not of wizard origin, for example, I prefer that wizards originated from the Patronus Charm, that doesn't stop me from using this symbol as my personal mark."

"Professor, why did you choose this symbol as your personal marker?" Matthew Motta, a fifth-grader, asked.

Matthew Motta is a small wizard with big ears, which interests him in many issues.

"Because my goal is to find out where the magic comes from."

"Magic, of course, comes from blood." Slytherin's sixth-grader, Edward Rohr, muttered.

However, Calvin's red eyes stared at him, "Mr. Rohr, if you continue to think like this, then you are not suitable to stay in my club. ”
