Harry Potter and the Necromancer

Remus Lupine can be said to be very surprised. He knows Regulus Black. Not to mention that he has been teaching at Hogwarts for two years, even the series of complaints he made to the Ministry of Magic. His asset lawsuit has become a frequent visitor to the Daily Prophet. As long as he still has money to subscribe to the Daily Prophet, everyone will know about Duke Black.

God knows where his duke status came from. The Black family has never mentioned that their family has the title of duke. However, the Daily Prophet used the title Duke Black in any subsequent reports. This is It is very fascinating, and some people have gone to the Daily Prophet to verify it, but it has been very officially confirmed.

The Dukedom of the Black family is not only real and valid in the wizarding world, but also real and valid in the Muggle world. It's just that the Black family's approach to this title is very low-key, or the Black family prefers to regard themselves as wizards rather than nobles, so almost no Black family head will use this title.

This dukedom of the Black family comes from continental Europe and can be traced back to ancient Rome.

The surname Blake refers to the hair color of the aristocrats that their family inherited from the ancient Roman period.

As early as the Roman Empire, the title of Duke on the European continent was usually awarded to senior commanders who defended and expanded their territory and had outstanding military achievements. This was later interrupted due to major political changes. The Black family was established during that period.

Hundreds of years later, the title of duke appeared again in Germany. Around AD 970, German Emperor Otto I first established the title of Duke.

Soon France and other parts of continental Europe also established principalities or grand duchies.

In the UK, a duke is the highest-ranking noble after the king or prince. Unlike the grand duke or grand duke on the European continent who is the head of a country, the British dukedom appeared very late.

In 1337, Edward III elevated Cornwall to a duchy and awarded the title of Duke to Edward, the 7-year-old "Black Prince". The crown prince participated in the Hundred Years War at the age of 16 and showed his talents.

But this 'Black Prince' has nothing to do with the Black family.

Therefore, although the Duke title of the Black family has neither territory nor power, to a certain extent, it is still a very useful noble status.

The Daily Prophet also explained why Regulus Black would use this title of Duke. It was discovered during the lawsuit to claim assets. If the title of Duke was not used, some assets could not be claimed at all. That would be to use the title of Duke Black. This name came to sign, so after there were many such signatures, Regulus Black often handled family affairs as a duke.

"Remus Lupin, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

The two shook hands in a good atmosphere. After all, there was Sirius Black between them. On one side was his brother, and on the other side were the four original hijackers, so maybe the two could be friends.

"You're also here to send a report to Hogwarts, right?"

Regulus Black certainly knew the purpose of Remus Lupin coming to the front of the car, but before the other party arrived, he had already asked the person in charge of the front of the car to send a report to Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic to report the Dementors. The Hogwarts Express was forced to stop and a random search was reported.

"Oh! Yes, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, that the guards of Azkaban would actually run out."

When Remus Lupine mentioned dementors, he was not afraid at all, or is it that as a werewolf he is only afraid of the moon?

"Mr. Black! We have informed Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic of what happened. Can we set off?"

An old man who looked exactly like the driver of the Knight Bus pushed up the lenses of his glasses and asked Regulus Black.

"Of course! Please drive! Otherwise the kids will have a midnight snack instead of dinner."

The Hogwarts Express started again and accelerated towards its destination, arriving on time.

This year, the poor freshmen had to take a boat across the lake in the rain.

All the old students returned to school in carriages. Someone did not use the school's carriage, but put a carriage on his own.

The all-black carriage, with its Baroque shape and Gothic pattern design, also moves forward automatically like the carriage at Hogwarts. In fact, the automatic carriage at Hogwarts is not driven by magic, but is pulled by the Thestral. The Thestrals in the Black Forest are responsible for pulling Hogwarts' carriage once a year, and Regulus Black's carriage is really powered by magic.

In order to repair the Nautilus battleship left by Captain Nemo, this carriage was just one of the experimental products, a defective product used to test the combination of mechanical power and magical power.

"Wow! You actually made an automatic carriage yourself. Is it based on the same principle as the carriage in Hogwarts?"

Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Penelo Crevat were invited to get in the car, and the little girl asked as soon as they got in the car.

And Marietta Acamo lost this qualification today because of her words and deeds on the train. Who made her distrust Regulus Black, even if it was just a joke between female companions, Regulus Black What Les Black needs are brain-dead fans. If he cannot control these girls forcefully, there will definitely be problems in the future.

Regulus Black knew that Marietta Acamo was just unintentional, but such a small warning would make her know more clearly what she wanted. After all, the two people already had a close relationship, and it would not be easy to do so. Will give up on her.

"This is just a frame. Although the outer shell is quite beautiful, the internal settings are quite rough. As for the principle, my carriage travels automatically. There are animals pulling the carriage in front of the carriages in Hogwarts. It's just that ordinary people can see Just missing."

Regulus Black was currently reading the letter from Penelope Crevat, and did not explain in detail his thoughts on the carriage.

It was hundreds of arms, a ring formed by the complete right hand. The rolling was full of the rhythm of life, without any dark feeling, only an endless feeling, and the structure of this ring was more like a In other words, the pupil of the eye can be considered a kind of pupil technique. What kind of magical phenomena can be manifested by the combination of right hand and pupil technique?

Regulus Black was obviously deep in thought. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he explained his knowledge of magic to others for the first time. It was so interesting.

When seeing so many arms at first sight, anyone who is even remotely interested in mythology will think of the name ‘Hundred-Armed Giant’.

The hundred-armed giant appeared in the early stages of Greek mythology. Hesiod calls them "Oranides" in his Theogony, and the common name is "Hecatoncris". According to the "Theogony", the hundred-armed giants were the children of Gaia and Uranus. There were three children named Briareos, Cotos and Guges. They were huge and ferocious monsters, even bigger than the Titans and Cyclops.

"Regulus! This is mine, please help me take a look."

Zhang Qiu also handed over a piece of letterhead, which she made directly using magic in this carriage. What was painted on it was a firebird with spread wings. It would be too simple to just say firebird, because that The color of the flame is as dazzling as the sun, and the whole body is golden white, only the ends are golden yellow.

"I didn't expect it! It's another natal magic with outstanding talent. I will let you each discuss it carefully later to develop this natal magic."

Regulus Black also carefully put away the letter, without letting Hermione see the whole process, but Hermione, who had always had a strong thirst for knowledge, remained silent at this time and turned to look outside the carriage.

Today's opening ceremony at Hogwarts seemed very wet and cold, and the heavy rain outside completely dampened the enthusiasm of the new students.

Under the command of Professor Flitwick, the girls from Ravenclaw sang a welcome song. The strange harmonies made the whole song very lively and strange, especially when there were several girls holding arms in the front row. The big toad is used to harmonize songs, and the comic effect is really funny.
