Chapter 394: The Red Queen
"Mr. Sanchez," Umbridge smirked coldly.
"Call me Rozier, thanks." Owen added.
"Yes, Mr. Rozier." She didn't have to change her words directly, "You don't seem to have such a right." ”
"Really?" Owen finally looked away from the table, he looked at Umbridge, and said, "Before I came back to England, newspapers in many countries in Europe, Africa, and North America wanted to interview me, but I turned them down, well--now that I think about it, I should have been interviewed by them--talk to them, the British Ministry of Magic intends to impose a dictatorship at Hogwarts." ”
"It's not a dictatorship." Umbridge snapped.
"I guess it's not, it's up to the reader to decide, not you, or what committee." Owen retracted his gaze, "Okay, it's really unlucky, it's hard to eat, Hannah takes the plate and goes back to the lounge, can you still swallow it here?" ”
Owen stood up and walked out.
He didn't need to bother with Umbridge, he hadn't felt the old toad yet.
Let's wait for two days and see.
Of course, the premise is that the other party does not come to trouble him.
"Hmm-" Hannah would carry out all of Owen's requests, unlike Hermione, who would wonder if she should do that or not.
As for Luna, Owen couldn't even guess what she was thinking sometimes, let alone make her listen to herself.
Following in Owen's footsteps, Hannah also stood up, picked up her plate, and strode out of the auditorium.
"Hi, wait for me." Justin also hurriedly got up and followed.
Then there were Susan and Ernie.
Then, the entire Hufflepuff table erupted.
Everyone got up one after another, dragged dishes and bowls, and left the auditorium in a mighty manner.
"Wait—stop me!"
Umbridge roared loudly, her face turning pale.
The authority that he had maintained for three months, and which he had managed to build, seemed to be about to collapse in an instant.
This is something she will never allow.
She finally got it
But that didn't help, this time, her voice was much more normal, but it didn't stop the little wizards.
More young wizards stood up and joined the departing group.
Harry was even faster, and he and Justin got up almost at the same time.
Immediately after Hermione, Ron, and Seamus all chose to leave the auditorium.
In the blink of an eye, the Gryffindors were gone.
Three minutes later—except for the Slytherins, the other three young wizards ran away.
"Damn it!" Umbridge roared angrily.
"Bang!" She slammed her plate to the ground, her eyes full of resentment, which was very different from her previous expression.
Not all of the remaining Slytherins liked Umbridge, and none liked her - it was only because she had brought power to the Snake House that they reluctantly supported her.
And once this power cannot be maintained, they don't mind falling into the trap.
At this time, there were many little snakes sneering and watching the show.
But to say how miserable Umbridge is now, it is impossible to say, more miserable than miserable - the poor fellows hanging from the door.
I can't even wail - because my mouth is gagged.
"Draco—" Umbridge said suddenly.
She wanted Draco to bring the patrol team to intercept the young wizard.
But just as he was about to speak.
Suddenly, on the long table in the auditorium.
The food on the tables of the four major academies disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It's clean, and the table top seems to have been wiped by someone, emitting a waxy glow.
"What's going on?"
The Slytherins looked at each other in dismay, something that had never happened to them at Hogwarts in all these years.
This has never been the case.
And just when the Slytherins were stunned and overwhelmed.
At this moment in the Hufflepuff common room, all the food appeared out of thin air.
Plates fill the tables and cabinets in the lounge like carpets.
Those who really couldn't put it floated in the air.
From the vine ladder leading to the men's and women's bedrooms, to the rest platform on the second floor.
as well as the entire hall on the first floor. The little wizards shouted loudly with their plates.
"Oh! Long live Owen! ”
"Long live Owen!!"
Everyone screamed and celebrated the victory.
It was as if they were having a banquet.
And such scenes are also present in the other three break rooms.
"What is there to celebrate?" Owen lay in his armchair.
The plate floated in front of him, and whatever he wanted to eat, the food would bounce in front of him on its own.
At this time, smart people are doing their jobs - only the fools are still celebrating.
Obviously, most people are fools, and he's the only one who is busy cooking.
Lunch time flies.
Soon Owen was full.
He collapsed on the chair with limp limbs, and the whole person was bigger.
His long silver hair was scattered by his grinding, and he was thrown behind the armchair like a waterfall.
Slowly—the cheers in the lounge subsided.
Many people looked at Owen strangely.
Especially when they looked at him, everyone couldn't help but feel a little hot, and their hands were dyed red.
At this point - Hannah was the first to react.
Her eyes swept around her and came behind Owen.
"How did you grow your long hair?" She asked gently.
"Forced to be helpless." Owen said lazily. "Growing too fast. I'm not Tony's teacher, and it's too ugly to cut my own hair, so I'll keep it like this. ”
"Growing too fast?" Hannah stretched out her hand as usual, her fingertips running through the silky silver hair.
Good Shun - her eyes lit up, and she was about to ask what kind of hair conditioner Owen used, but after thinking about it, he should have been born, and no matter how you look at it, Owen doesn't look like a wizard who can use magic things like conditioner.
"It only takes seven days to go from being bald to spreading to the back." Owenson said with nothing to love. "The only thing to be thankful for is that it stopped after a certain length."
"So fast?" Hannah's fingers raced through Owen's hair.
Her blonde hair is also very soft, and she usually braids it, one or two.
So Hannah is very skilled in this area.
"Is it a potion? Or is it a spell? This is obviously not normal. ”
"It's a curse." Owen said pessimistically, "I guess even if I pinch the person who cursed me to death, it won't change anything." ”
Even if he kills the outer gods, the changes in his body will not stop.
"Okay—" Hannah's heart sank, she was just worried about what would happen to Owen, she was just scared and worried
Forget it - it's over, isn't it?
"Owen." This is, Justin came up, "I heard Harry say that you were there when [Poseidon] was there?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong?" Owen stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, which would give Hannah more room to maneuver.
"Oh my God! You're there! ”
At this moment, the little wizards around them were all mobilized and wanted to go.
Summer Vacation - The Daily Prophet reported that Hermione's participation in the war was the pride of all British wizards, and they Hufflepuffs thought it strange at the time.
How could Owen not be present at this 'feast'?
But when they looked through the newspapers, they didn't see Owen's name.
"Tell us about it! What really happened? ”
"I've heard that a super hurricane in the Mediterranean almost destroyed a country."
"Muggles have affected millions of people, are they?"
The little wizards blinked excitedly, and one by one they sat there ready to listen to the story.
"It's normal for a super hurricane to affect millions of people." Owen also complied with their wishes and began to speak slowly, "However, the direct casualties were the Muggle merchant ships passing by at the time, and the subsequent attacks of the [Evil Omen] monsters. ”
"How many people can there be?" Susan came to Hannah's side and joined Owen in combing her hair.
"Hey, hey—it's like messing around. What are you two going to do? Owen's eyes rose, and he looked at the 'wife' who was getting more and more aware of his discovery, and hurriedly stopped.
Susan smiled and unbraided her hair and put it back in braid again.
"There are probably more than 10,000 direct deaths." He continued, "The hurricane was located on the seaway, and there were a lot of ships coming and going. ”
"Ten thousand?" The little wizards around him gasped.
And Justin - he reacted the most because his mother was not among the 10,000 people.
Thanks to Hermione Harry, they were.
They saved his mom — which is why he's desperately defending Hermione this year, resulting in the bottom of Hufflepuff.
"One after another, after some of the [Sons of Evil Omen] escaped, the casualties caused were probably around tens of thousands."
"Tens of thousands—"
If it's a Muggle – maybe it's not surprising that tens of thousands of people died, after all, the Middle East or Africa was in conflict, and the death toll in that war was not in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
But for the little wizards.
Tens of thousands of people - that's almost the entire number of wizards in England combined!
The Quidditch World Cup has only gathered 100,000 wizards, and this is from all over the world.
Tens of thousands of people – a third or a quarter of the World Cup.
"There are also those who died under the curse, and these are not counted as direct casualties."
"Oh my god - what about the Secrecy Act. Tens of thousands of Muggles died—the wizarding world can't hide it! ”
At this time, a young wizard raised doubts.
And after he said it, it immediately aroused the approval of a large number of young wizards.
Everyone nodded — yes — what about the secrecy law?
Hearing this, Owen gave them a blank look, "You guys - the heads of government are aware of the existence of magic, for example, after the new British Prime Minister comes to power, the Minister of Magic will meet with him at a later date." The British royal family, the queen and the court wizard are responsible for her safety. ”
"It's just that the government knows more people this time."
"I see." Ernie nodded, he sat next to Justin, as a pure-blood wizard, he obviously didn't know any of this.
Most young wizards don't know that they still think that the wizarding world and the Muggle world really exist in parallel without interfering with each other.
"But this time it was a big commotion, and many civilians saw some magical phenomena. And it's not a few decades ago, when information flowed by telegraph, and now the whole world knows it with a phone call. A lot of gossip came and went.
Even the International Federation of Wizards could not handle such a huge leak, and it was impossible for them to cast the Oblivion Charm on Muggles in the entire region. ”
"What then?" Justin asked.
"We're going to live in peace with Muggles?"
"Hehe-coexistence is inevitable, and I don't know if there is no peace." Owen answered lazily.
"Yes! I've heard that Muggles use that weapon against monsters at the bottom of the ocean. Justin looked worried, like Hermione, he was a Muggle, and if the two worlds were to be stiff, their position would be awkward.
"Owen." His gaze fell on the girl who was overwhelmed by the two plays, and Owen, who was fiddling with various hairstyles, said, "Do wizards have magic to resist that kind of weapon?" ”
“.”
Hearing this, Owen rolled his eyes at him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
In an instant, hundreds of millions of high temperatures, fireballs of several kilometers, and air waves of tens of kilometers. That defense? ”
"You can only feel the apparition dodge before it explodes. Just turn on the light – and you're ready to point your middle finger at the sky. ”
"Why?" He then asked.
Owen didn't have that patience, mainly to explain the goods, and he didn't understand, and Hermione probably understood the principle, because in addition to the habit of reading magic books, she also likes to read all kinds of Muggle science books, Hermione can carry "A Brief History of Time", "The Universe in the Shell", "The Strings of the Universe" and so on.
This principle - old Deng Tou doesn't know if he can understand it.
He was silent.
His head spun rapidly.
After a while, he said, "It's hard to explain, the principle is complicated, and you can't understand it at all."
Uh-forget it.
To put it simply, massive matter will cause space-time bending, for example, space-time around the sun is affected by the sun's huge mass, forming space-time bending, while planets move according to their geodesics, which is equivalent to a uniform linear motion in an inertial frame.
And the moment that weapon explodes, the huge mass and matter projectile will also cause a subtle space-time bend, although this bend is very weak and will be restored instantly, but it will have a huge impact on the illusion shifting spell, such as the instability of space-time, which makes the magic impossible to cast at all, or the space-time warp causes the wizard's body to separate in the process of phantom transformation, etc. - in short, you can't apparilate immediately in the next few seconds of the newspaper, and by the time you can leave, the fireball and the heat have already passed, So all that remains is to wait for death. ”
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Owen looked around.
And then you get a brand new, freshly baked one, with clear and stupid eyes.
"I understand—" Justin said, "but every word is not understood when it is joined together." ”
"Dead open!" Owen yelled.
"Read more and read more, you don't listen at all! Looks like I should ask Hermione to send a letter to your mom and ask her to find you a few physics and math teachers to make up for your lessons during the summer. ”
"Don't—" Justin jumped up at once, "those were one of the few days I've been free. ”
"Cut—you guys! It is already hopeless. ”
Owen turned his head over.
And the little wizards were confused for a while. The energy is back.
The noisy asked him many questions.
Owen also replied flatly.
And this continued until the first class in the afternoon.
The Hufflepuff 5th Grade afternoon is a history of magic.
Owen finally wore his wife's hairstyle - and went to class with Hannah Justin with the textbooks Hermione had prepared for him.
Life is hard!
In class, Professor Binns's familiar and nostalgic snorting and procrastination made Owen extremely happy.
Although most of the young wizards collapsed and fell asleep within five minutes of the start of the lesson.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Owen tore a piece from his notebook, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote on it with a quill.
- The Red Queen
- I'm happy to inform you that our plan is ready to be implemented, and I have prepared what you want and come with a small gift.
- Please contact me as soon as possible.
- Vincent.
After class, he found a pokemon in the break room.
Since the kitchen incident, the young wizards of Hogwarts have treated several of them with respect, even ordinary young wizards, who will be happy to help you if you need help.
"Find a public owl in the school, and send this letter to Malfoy Manor, and Lucius will receive it."
"Yes sir." The elf nodded, and then disappeared in place.
In the afternoon, they have one more class.
Or rather, he himself has an elective.
Ancient Runiwen.
Truth be told, he didn't have much to take this class anymore, and Professor Bascheda Bablin probably didn't know as much about Runes as he did.
After all, he had accepted the knowledge of the previous heirs of Dean Bridged Weasley, and the wizarding world had always been slow to study in this area, and there had been little development in hundreds of years.
In the evening, he meets with Hermione in the library.
At six or seven o'clock, the library was overcrowded.
According to Hermione, it was because Umbridge didn't teach them decent magic at all, and Dumbledore didn't know where to find a large number of new and tens of thousands of magic books and scrolls, and a large number of new magic records in them, and everyone was attracted to them.
Owen was interested, and after a long time in the library, he realized that Dumbledore had moved the books from the Great Ionian Underground Warehouse to Hogwarts.
Those magic dossiers don't know which volume may contain evil black magic, and the old headmaster is really bold.
However, according to Hermione, there are indeed some very useful magic records in those magic books. There are young wizards who have learned something new from it.
Something new - I'm afraid it's not a hand-in-hand way to summon an outer god from scratch.
Forget it, since Dumbledore brought things back, it was his pot, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"What are you doing?"
On the long table in the library, Owen watched as Hermione was casting a spell on a gold Galleon.
"You're not going to study cracking the magic of the elves and copy the Golden Galleons!"
"I'm not that boring, okay?" Hermione gave him a blank look and said, "It's a fake gold Galleon." It is an alchemy item that is used to make a simple communication tool through the transmission of many fake gold galleons.
Umbridge doesn't allow us to practice magic in private, so I'm going to secretly form a resistance group, which is the tool I use to connect with the members. ”
"She doesn't allow you to practice magic in private? The tube is really wide. Owen shouted, but just as he was about to speak again.
The trouser leg next to him was tugged.
He was stunned for a moment, but when he looked down, he saw a familiar elf.
"Your reply, sir." It handed Owen a letter of unbranded fire paint or sealing wax.
Then the 'poof' sound disappeared.
"Yo, so fast?" Owen was slightly stunned.
It seems that our Red Queen can't wait for a long time.
Otherwise, how could you reply in such a hurry.
"Who?" Hermione looked up, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Not the school's little wizard." Owen replied, then opened the letter.
"That's a little wizard in Paris."
"What do you think?" Owen laughed and glanced at the letter.
- Tonight, eleven o'clock, Hogwarts Observatory.
- The Red Queen
"Hogwarts?" The moment he saw the letter, Owen was stunned, can Hogwarts come and go casually?
How sure was she going to be able to sneak into the school.
And- Dumbledore is still here tonight.
Although he was not in school for most of this year, he was here tonight, and he didn't pick a good time.
Hermione had been watching Owen's expression all the time, watching his expression gradually grow startled, and then, she suddenly said in a strange tone, "It won't be written on it, let you go there in the middle of the night." ”
“.”
Owen gave her a blank look, then handed the letter to Hermione.
The moment she skimmed the letter, the expression on Miss Granger's face froze.
"Me"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right." Owen leaned his head and looked at her with a playful smile.
Hermione's expression became very unnatural in the face of the young man's teasing in front of her, she pressed the letter to her seat, and then stared at Owen as if she were interrogating a prisoner.
"Who is the Red Queen?"
"Won't you go and see it?" Owen quipped, "It's eleven o'clock tonight." Then he glanced at the non-existent watch on his left hand and said, "At half past six, let's go to dinner first, and then you can go back to sleep for a while." Remember – don't stay up late! ”
He slowly got up, waved his hand, and all the books on the table floated on their own, and went back to the bookshelf where they were supposed to be.
"Let's go." He said, and held out his hand.
Miss Granger was full of doubts, but teasing was ridiculous, and she had always had trust in Owen.
She was a little unaccustomed to taking his hand.
Then the two of them left the library quickly.
Dinner was a great pleasure.
Because the old toad did not appear at the guest of honor.
The twins even set off fireworks excitedly.
Fireworks exploded in the air above the auditorium, and two green elves danced cross-legged.
There are still more than 20 days left before Christmas, but everyone is already feeling the joy of the festival.
After dinner, on the way back to the lounge, Owen came across several portraits of people playing and singing happy songs.
It seems - it's really a holiday.
