Chapter 223: Hogwarts turned into a chicken farm

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the golden sunlight slowly fills the whole world from the east.

The soft light grew blinding, and Lupin slowly woke up, then opened his eyes.

The unfamiliar ceiling confused him, and the memory slowly came back to him, and he remembered everything, and a smile appeared on the wolf's face.

Feeling a little uncomfortable in his head, probably caused by last night's transformation, Lupin rubbed himself and was suddenly stunned.

Then a frightened wolf howl rang out.

Erin and James soon arrive at the scene of the incident, and when they learn what happened, they laugh.

After a night, Lupin still maintained the state of a werewolf, which made him a little flustered, and the scene just happened.

Mr. and Mrs. Hall had a similar experience, perhaps because of the moon dew.

"Okay, don't worry, just go out and bask in the sun."

James said.

Erin walked to the window and opened the curtains, and the sunlight flooded the room.

Lupin's eyes narrowed uncomfortably, and the hole shrank, and it took a short moment before he opened his eyes.

"I'm imagining your human body in my head."

Erin said on the side. She had carefully studied the Animagus and felt that they could use it in their werewolf transformations.

However, she and James don't need to use this method, they have already mastered the ability to transform freely.

It took some time for Lupin to begin his transformation into a human, though by the afternoon he still had some werewolf traits.

As a last resort, Erin had no choice but to change his pants to "open crotch pants" so that the tail had a place to come out.

Other features don't matter, like wolf ears, body hair, etc.

It's just that Lupin has to take a leave of absence, and he may not be able to go back to what he is now.

At the same time, a piece of good news spreads through Hogwarts, and all the young wizards are filled with joy.

The Forbidden Forest Open Zone is back in action, and the little wizards can go to the Forbidden Forest to play freely and enjoy the Centaurs' delicacies.

Compared to last semester, this semester's development area is larger and has more amazing things waiting to be explored.

At the same time, the Forbidden Forest was also funded by Hogwarts, and a large number of magic crystals were sent to King's Mountain and thrown into the space, promoting the maturity of the space.

It was Tom who benefited the most, and with Hogwarts' funding, Tom no longer had to rely on the body of the shutters, and the shutters retracted their branches.

His body is solid, and he can freely enter and exit the inheritance space. Externally, he walks in the form of an ordinary black cat; Internally, it appears in the image of Tom Cat.

The heritage space had accumulated half a meter of soil, and Ralph dug a large pit in the center, using his authority to connect the inheritance space with the star spring.

At all times, the space will exchange tiny magic power for pure spring water from the star fountain to fill the large pit in the center.

The underside of the pit is covered with a layer of magic patterns, which restricts the penetration of the spring water into the surrounding soil, while at the same time absorbing the magic and converging it in this small lake.

Again, this was inspired by the Hogwarts Magic Crystal, which could not be condensed into crystals as easily as Hogwarts, but it was still easy to gather, condense and limit them.

The technique of making magic crystals has long been passed down in the wizarding world, and the goblins are the most proficient in this aspect.

However, with the decay of mana, it is difficult for pure mana crystals to condense, so high-purity gems have to be used as containers for storing mana.

This is also the reason why gems are still precious in the wizarding world.

However, in this day and age, with the development of magic, or rather adaptation to the current situation, the need for magic crystals is getting smaller and smaller.

Magic has also changed from the original complicated and large consumption to the simple and light consumption of today.

The wizarding world is also progressing, with the advent and popularity of wands, the sealing of catastrophic magic, and the development of living magic. But all this also shows one thing, and that is magic

Attenuation of force.

Due to the sparse population of the wizarding world, few people are destined to engage in this kind of research. Everyone is running around for survival, and mastering the magic does not mean that life can be as good as possible.

Driven by family pressures and ambitions, Hogwarts is undoubtedly an ivory tower that keeps these troubles out of the world.

But the chaos from the outside is still transmitted to the inside.

Voldemort's faith spread within Slytherin, and his power was about to reach its zenith.

Snape was in a good mood that day.

His old senior wrote him a letter complaining about some work problems.

"Although the boss is a little grumpy, he always has a preference for geniuses. Severus, I wish time passed sooner, and you could graduate sooner, like this......

It was Lucius Malfoy.

Snape still had a lot of respect for Lucius, and the senior helped him through the most difficult period of his school years.

At that time, he entered Slytherin as a half-blood.

One can imagine what those purebloods would give him. Nothing, not even bothering to look at it.

Only Lucius, who smiled and welcomed him to Slytherin.

This is how the friendship between the two was born, which has remained until now.

Unfortunately, Lucius was already in the seventh grade when Snape enrolled, and the senior only cared for him for one year.

But that year also taught Snape a lot.

He managed to show his worth, possessing the keys to join the pure-blood groups and becoming their "friend".

As a result, Snape had great respect for the senior, and Lucius, knowing his talent, did not change anything else, except to communicate with him as a more equal measure.

Writing a letter this time is not as simple as complaining and poaching people.

There is something else besides the letter itself.

For example, some precious and rare potion materials, books of the Malfoy family, and so on.

Most of the books are related to the dark arts, after all, Snape is extremely talented in this area.

Lucius also gave a warning in the letter, hoping that Snape would be able to maintain his heart while studying the dark arts.

Seeing the senior's concern, Snape smiled. With a flick of the wand, a silvery-white mist wafted out, pure and sincere.

Although Lucius was keen to invite Snape to his house, and repeatedly revealed the idea in letters, he ultimately rejected it.

In the current situation, Snape should not be involved, he needs a comfortable environment to show his talent.

Lucius' father expressed his appreciation for Lucius' decision.

Although Lucius is already the patriarch of the Malfoy family on the surface, he still has to go through his father for both big and small things.

The same goes for those dark arts books, and Snape wouldn't have gotten them without Malfoy Sr.'s consent.

In addition to these, the letter contained a number of requests from Lucius.

He hoped that Snape would make him a batch of healing potions, and the materials had already arrived, even the Golden Gallons.

Naturally, Snape had no reason to refuse, and with Ralph's help, it could be done quickly, and even faster if the current research was scheduled.

Outside, the Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic have fought for an unknown number of battles.

The purebloods hadn't completely fallen to the Death Eaters, and the Ministry of Magic was still evenly matched.

By keeping a tight grip on the market, the Ministry of Magic banned the circulation of almost all potions with positive effects on the market.

St. Goment's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry is also under the control of the Ministry of Magic, and during this time, any non-Ministry staff members admitted to the hospital due to a spell injury will be screened.

The Ministry of Magic will take their wands away and use the [Flashback Charm] to check the spell usage history and decide whether to capture them or not.

A series of measures curbed the Death Eaters' offensive to a certain extent, and even Voldemort had to go down to heal some of his badly wounded men.

Fortunately, they fought contact battles, and they left as soon as they touched them, and not many people were really injured.

If it weren't for the fact that some unlucky people were caught while going to the Saint-Goment Magical Hospital for treatment, they wouldn't have realized the problem.

It's a pity that despite the numerous decrees issued by the current minister, it still can't effectively curb the rise of the Death Eater forces, and if nothing else, she will soon be dismissed.

The Death Eaters kept the Ministry of Magic busy, and the wizarding Muggle world ran on both sides.

The Ministry of Magic still has some contempt, and only the Aurors who are fighting on the front lines know that this is a war.

Fear, uneasiness, and anxiety hung over the wizarding world of England like a cloud, and countless people were hoping for the rain to come and end it all.

Only Hogwarts enjoys peace and joy, and the blue sky and white clouds are still the same.

The breeze came from afar, blowing across the lake, taking up ripples, and the merfolk below looked up in stress.

Xiaocao bent down and sent his respect into the distance.

The children's laughter and reading were carried by the wind to an unknown destination.

Recently, Hogwarts has become a little strange.

It should be said that since the last exercise, Hogwarts has been a little weird.

Quite a few young wizards, especially Slytherin and Hufflepuff, are always woken up early in the morning by the sound of a rooster croaking.

As if by magic, these rooster crows penetrate thick walls and reach every bedroom.

Barty Jr. asks Ralph about them and finds them too tormented by the rooster's crowing every morning.

Ralph knew why, but couldn't tell them. I simply deleted my own amnestics in this regard.,It's not the ontology anyway.,It doesn't matter.。

In order to deal with the potential basilisk, the professors can be said to have put a lot of effort into it.

Roosters are one of the ways to do this.

The roosters were in charge of Hagrid, and the professors built a number of greenhouses in the open space next to Hagrid's hut to raise them.

In order to be sustainable, Professor McGonagall purchased a large number of hens in addition to the roosters and built a special chicken coop for them.

The hens were kept in the chicken shed, and the chicken shed was cast with the [Traceless Stretching Spell], which was enough for them to survive, and the environment inside was very good, and not long after settling down, the house elves collected a lot of eggs.

The rooster let them roam around Hogwarts.

Compared to Muggles, wizards' domestication methods were much more convenient. A large Confusion Charm helped the professors out of all their troubles.

Grindelwald gave the roosters a nest and a forbidden place to enter, so that they could roam around without throwing them away or killing themselves.

Grindelwald didn't expect that he, as a dark wizard, would use [Confusion Charm] on a group of chickens.

During this time, the little wizards were also deeply troubled by the chickens.

If it weren't for the school's order not to attack or hurt these roosters, they would have wanted to eat them directly.

Without magic, they are no match for a rooster at all.

Walking on the lawn, the little wizard must always be careful of the rooster in his vicinity, lest the rooster flutter its wings and erect its feathers and run towards him.

Many young wizards were pecked to death by these roosters, and their legs were full of small blue dots.

Among them, the Gryffindor students are the most, and they can't stand this anger and bluntly want to get it back.

Then, everyone saw this scene.

A group of Gryffindor wizards, chased and screamed by a few roosters.

Professor McGonagall covered her forehead when she saw this, not knowing what to say, shook her head and left.

In addition to the rooster, the walls of the castle have also changed.

After understanding the characteristics of the basilisk,

Dumbledore used his castle privileges to alter the walls at various corners of the castle to make them smooth enough to transmit light.

Gazing directly at the basilisk will bring death, but as long as you don't look at it directly, you can stay alive.

Smooth walls do just that.

Principal's Office.

"Hurry up and get rid of the basilisk, I can't stand those cocks anymore. You're going to cast a magic spell on them......

Grindelwald complained.

"Back to school? It's going to be a chicken farm."

He continued.

"Wait. We've looked through the records and found something interesting. The Gaunt family funded the rebuilding of the Hogwarts sewers."

Dumbledore said.

"I think they know something. It's just a pity that the last of their members has died in Azkaban."

He sighed.

"Does that make sense?"

Grindelwald looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course there is! Gonter, a direct descendant of Slytherin, is also a serpentine elder who leads the construction of sewer pipes. So the basilisk is in the sewer."

Dumbledore said with a frown.

「......」

Grindelwald slumped on the couch, ignoring Dumbledore.

"Well, I just think we can wait. I'm not familiar with wands yet."

Dumbledore said, throwing a candy into his mouth and enjoying it.

Since being sanctioned by Madam Pomfrey, Dumbledore has had to think for a long time about how to enjoy it.

However, Grindelwald is a different story. The two of them were in a group, and although this guy was also concerned about Dumbledore's health, Dumbledore always had a way to get him to buy some candy for him, although not much.

"Wand divination?"

Grindelwald thought for a moment, and could only think of this answer. With Dumbledore's strength, with him, it was easy to deal with the basilisk, and they already knew the characteristics of this monster well.

"Hmm. It's a good helper to lead the way."

Dumbledore said.

"Okay."

Grindelwald shrugged and slumped back onto the couch again.
