Under Ralph's gaze, the elderberry was standing on the edge of the dock, stretching its branches in the wind, very leisurely.

"Ralph, are you mistaken?"

Daniel said, wiping his eyes, but he didn't see the elderberry, which was empty, except for a lawn.

"yes. I don't see it either, do you want to go to the infirmary?"

Claude looked at Ralph worriedly. During the holidays, he frantically supplemented the common sense of the wizarding world, knowing that seeing some things inexplicably was not a good thing for wizards.

"You really can't see?"

Ralph asked, confused.

"Is that really something?"

Daniel didn't answer, but asked.

"Of course, how could a tree that was so big last night disappear all at once, and there was not even a pit left."

Ralph said.

"Shall we go down and have a look?"

William looked at everyone and was eager to try.

Everyone agreed without much thought, and there was nothing to do today anyway.

In a few moments, they came down the trail to the docks.

Under Ralph's guidance, they came to Elderberry.

Elder was also very strange that a group of children had come to him, but by contract and nature, it would not do anything to them.

"Look, it's here."

Ralph reached out and touched the trunk of the elderberry.

The others also stroked it, and really touched the rough bark.

"Why can't we see it?"

Daniel voiced everyone's doubts.

"I don't know, I'll have to ask the professors about it. Maybe that's one of the big changes at Hogwarts."

Ralph said.

Watching the energetic little wizard playing around him, Elder suddenly felt that he was also a lot more alive.

Enjoying the sun, the air, and the earth, he felt that the world loved him very kindly.

After a while of playing around, Ralph and the others left.

However, they did not immediately go to the professors to ask questions.

After knowing that the elderberry was just invisible, they were not in a hurry.

As for why Ralph was able to see it, they didn't care at all, after all, they had been numbed by Ralph's series of operations last semester, so they thought it was Ralph's talent.

Idle and bored, a few people went to the Room of Requirement.

Because the school has just started, many interesting places have not been put into operation, such as the Forbidden Forest Development Zone and the like.

When they arrived at the "Slug" magic room, several people saw the envelope that Professor Sgrahorn had placed on the table, which was a bit thick.

Here's user feedback from their flavor enhancers.

Professor Sgrahorn took it, helped them tidy it up, and put it here.

Claude opened the letter, divided the contents, and gave them to everyone.

All four of them watched the feedback carefully, taking notes on paper from time to time.

Suddenly, the scene changed, and they came to a rather empty hall.

Looking at the professors around them, they were all a little surprised.

Like them, there were other members of the Magic Research Team in the Room of Requirement.

"Professor, what's going on?"

The four of them hurriedly ran to Professor Flitwick's side, put away the pen and paper, and asked.

"I'm looking for you to do an experiment, I guess it's a game."

Professor Flitwick looked at them with a smile and said.

A few flames on the walls give a certain amount of light to this empty vaulted primordial hall. However, the overall brightness here is still very dim. To those who are a little farther away, it looks like a lake.

Moreover, after staring at the figure of Mohu for a long time, there will be some fantasies, such as the figure twitching, flickering, and changing

Turning into something weird or something.

"I'm sorry to bring you here."

Dumbledore stepped forward and spoke.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor, it might be a little dangerous. If you don't want to, stand at my right hand, for you have the right to refuse."

He spoke out of demand and held out his right hand.

Everyone looked, but no one passed.

"Professor, you're going to protect us, right?"

A senior sister asked a little nervously, this atmosphere still looks a little scary.

"Hahaha, of course. Not only me, but all the professors will keep an eye on you and keep you safe. Besides, we've tried it once, but we still lack some experimental data from young wizards, so we take the liberty of bothering you."

Dumbledore said with a smile, and the professors also looked at the students gently, especially the four deans, giving their children encouraging looks.

"Thank you, I'm here."

The senior sister whispered.

"Me too." *N

After getting Dumbledore's approval, everyone immediately agreed. With the professors here, what else can hurt them?

"Thank you for your trust. I didn't expect that an old man like me, who is nearly 100 years old, can still make people believe in me so much, it's really touching."

Dumbledore said.

"Professor, you're young, not old at all."

"yes, yes, and Wizard Nicol Lemay, who has lived several worlds?"

"We're sure you can live to that age."

「......」

Listening to the blessings of the little wizards to him, Dumbledore was in a good mood, and the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to have dinner if I keep talking about it."

Professor McGonagall came out just in time, interrupting the incessant compliments on both sides.

"It's a real game we've made, and it's currently in the trial phase. You are the first student players to participate. I want you to keep your mouth shut."

Professor McGonagall's piercing gaze swept over each of the young wizards.

After all the little wizards had assured her, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Inside, you will encounter some strange monsters, some monsters may be ugly and disgusting, I hope you will put up with it."

Professor McGonagall said, remembering what she had encountered inside, and reminded the young wizards present.

"Your goal is to use the magic you have learned to slay the monsters inside and protect yourself. I hope you guys have a good time in there."

Professor McGonagall looked at them and continued:

"You're going to make a group of the current members, and we're going to take you in for a trial first, and then you're going alone."

After speaking, several professors walked in front of each group.

Ralph and the others were naturally led by Professor Flitwick, who told them to stick together.

"Hold your wands, and let's get started."

Professor Flitwick said to them with some excitement.

"Yes, Professor."

The four of them responded, took out their wands, and stood on their chests, almost performing a wizard's duel salute.

"It's all irrational monsters inside, don't bow to them."

Seeing his own cubs doing this, Professor Flitwick was satisfied and reminded them to arrive.

"Professor, since it's a game, is it fun?"

William asked curiously.

"I'll find out later, it's just that the monster is too ugly, and we can't do anything about it, so we can't adjust it for the time being."

Professor Flitwick was a little excited, and wanted to share it with them, but held back.

"Minerva, I'll take them in first."

Looking at the other groups that were still preparing, Professor Flitwick rushed

Professor McGonagall said.

"Go, go. Remember to take care of them."

Professor McGonagall reluctantly said that now Professor Flitwick had a good place to spend his time.

"Let's go, let's go in first. It's a pity that Professor Gradir is gone, otherwise he would have liked it here."

Professor Flitwick sighed and waved his wand, and a light gate appeared beside them, and under the Professor's leadership, several people walked in, and then the light gate disappeared.

As soon as they entered, several people looked curiously at their surroundings.

The sky here is gray and hazy, and the ground is full of black ash.

Where they appeared, there were some flower pots around them, all of which were planted by Professor Sprout, and Ralph was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

They were familiar with the flower pot, because this was the result of one of the teams in the Demon Research Group.

The plants on the unfamiliar pots are all trees, some are very tall, and some are still saplings.

When they grow up to big trees, their trunks are almost as thick as flower pots, which is incongruous and weird.

What's more, the strange thing is that these trees are all beating with different magical elements.

There are small flames that burn and extinguish on the branches, and there are white lights that circulate on the branches.

In addition to these peculiar trees, there are also several lamp grasses that are placed on the side to illuminate the place.

Ralph and the others kept asking questions of Professor Flitwick, and Professor Flitwick answered all questions.

The trees were all cultivated with a wand and placed here to create a safe area.

Ash is something left behind by monsters after death, and has no use value, but some plants are very fond of it, such as those cultivated by these wands.

Professor Flitwick tells them that monsters are formed by the combination of negative emotions and magic in Hogwarts, which are attached to physical objects.

Part of the reason they created this space was to use the students' hands to clean up the negative energy of Hogwarts and at the same time exercise the students' magical abilities.

"Let's go. Now leave a mark here so they know where we're going, so they don't rob the monsters."

Flitwick said, leaving an arrow on the ground.

Ralph and the others then followed Professor Flitwick out of the safe zone.

As soon as they stepped out of the fluorescent white line, Ralph and the others felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort, as well as emotional depression, uneasiness, and so on.

A white light emerged from the white line, covering everyone, and all discomfort was removed, and the spirit became uplifted.

"It's a blessing that will help you protect yourself from the environment here, and at the same time act as a protector. Once you are attacked, the white light will come out of your body and resist you once, and once the amount of white light is reduced to a certain level, you will be removed from here."

Professor Flitwick explained.

Walking and walking, they soon encountered the first monster.

Professor Flitwick saw the slow-moving figure from afar, his eyes lit up, and with a wave of his wand, he pulled the monster over.

The monster looked confused, but when it sensed Ralph and them, it immediately struggled and roared, startling Ralph and them.

It looks like a four-legged table with one foot missing.

A large woody tumor grew on the surface of the table, with red wood lines intertwined in it, like blood vessels.

The three legs grew dense brownish-gray roots, with dark red lines intertwined in them, and they wriggled constantly.

They frowned at Ralph.

"Professor, this is ugly, isn't it? I don't want to make it look good."

William said disgustedly.

"No way, it's not something we can control, it's what they have become."

Professor Flitwick said.

"Come, you come one by one, and feel what it's like to be attacked by it."

Professor Flitwick said to them with a smile, looking at them.

Ralph glanced at them, and it was Ralph who stepped forward first.

"Don't attack, Ralph, it won't hurt you."

Seeing that it was Ralph, Professor Flitwick still said it, so that Ralph would not kill the monster directly.

"Yes, Professor."

Ralph nodded.

Professor Flitwick let go of his grip on the mutilated wooden table monsters and moved away from them.

The monster immediately moved towards Ralph, but after a short while, it was still some distance from Ralph. Maybe it's because it's missing a foot. And the root system is really not suitable for walking.

Ralph looked up at Professor Flitwick, who smiled awkwardly.

With a sigh, Ralph took the initiative to walk up.

Seeing Ralph get closer to him, the mutilated wooden table monster became even more excited. It struggled to crawl like Ralph, and finally touched Ralph's shoe.

Then, it wrapped its roots around it at an extremely slow pace.

It's a pity that as soon as its roots are entangled, it is bounced away by a burst of white light, and the roots and tendrils eject the entire monster far away.

Next, the Wooden Table Monster endures the "inhumane" torture of a human being with great difficulty, before being bounced off and captured by Professor Flitwick to offer to the next young wizard.

William also kicked it stubbornly, kicking it far away at once. Professor Flitwick glared at him. William smiled apologetically.

"Don't underestimate it, you're protected by blessings, that's why you're fine."

Professor Flitwick said, conjuring up a small rabbit and placing it next to the monster at the wooden table.

The wooden table monster noticed the little rabbit and hurriedly manipulated the root system to entangle it.

The little rabbit was frightened and tried to flee, but was frozen in place by Professor Flitwick.

When the roots of the Wooden Table Monster touched the rabbit, the rabbit immediately spread out and turned into black ash on the ground, apparently from which Professor Flitwick had conjured up.

"It will suck your magic away. If you are entangled and cannot escape, your life force will also be sucked away. But what they love most is magic, the magic of living beings."

Professor Flitwick said.

Then, the professor threw a [Fire Spell] at the wooden table monster, and the monster was burned to ashes on the spot.

At the same time, an emerald green glowing round object fell from within.
