Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Two days later Tierra received a reply, this time from a gray owl, which flew in, dropped the letter and flew away.

"Dear Mr. Wu,

We are very pleased to receive your reply, and we sincerely welcome you to join us. We believe that you will spend seven unforgettable and happy years at Hogwarts.

We have already made arrangements for the situation you mentioned. Our lovely gamekeeper, Rubis Hagrid, will arrive at the attic in the old town where you live on the evening of July 31st or early morning of August 1st to take you to the wonderful In the world of wizards, there may be a little wizard of your age going there with you.

Vice-Chancellor Minerva McGonagall

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

PS: Mr. Hagrid is a tall but kind-hearted, furry gentleman, please don't be afraid, I wish you a good time. "

Hagrid? The little wizard walking with him shouldn't be Harry Potter, right?

Well, it should be. On July 31, 1991, Harry Potter's eleventh birthday, Hagrid would give Harry a cake, and by the way, punish the Dursleys' cousin who had been bullying Harry.

Then Hagrid will take Harry to the Leaky Cauldron in London, enter Diagon Alley through the back wall of the bar to buy magic supplies, and take the Philosopher's Stone stored in Gringotts by the way.

The Philosopher's Stone... Tierra remembered the semi-finished Philosopher's Stone that Merlin left in the library, and wondered if there would be any difference between the two.

"However, there are still two months to go... I have to prepare well... Although the first four grades are safe and secure, nothing is absolute. The most dangerous is the second grade, um... basilisk, mirror, rooster, realgar, If possible, I can buy incendiary bombs, brimstone bombs and smoke bombs would be even better." Tierra thought silently, the first-year Voldemort is fine, as long as he doesn't wander around with the protagonist group, he is basically not in danger, but the basilisk can. Not necessarily, it is an indiscriminate massacre of Muggles. Although none of them died in the original plot, it does not mean that he is as lucky as those few.

"Thanks Merlin." Tierra said sincerely.

Tierra returned to the library on the day she received the Hogwarts acceptance letter, and copied down the contents of the Hypor clay tablets collected by Merlin.

Because it is written on a clay tablet, there is not much content on it, only the learning method of Parseltongue and the breeding technology of Basilisk, as well as some imperfect magic and curses created during Hypor's experiment.

Another half of the clay tablet was broken and severely worn, and Tierra couldn't recognize the information on it. There was no record of this part in Merlin's notes, only knowing that it was some kind of large-scale magic ceremony.

The learning of Parseltongue requires not only certain magic skills and language talent, but also the cooperation of potions.

Needless to say, magical skills and language talent, after being blessed with the knowledge of the race of the great Yisi. As long as he has been in contact with the text, he can read the language simultaneously.

The pronunciation of Parseltongue itself is based on a variant of ancient Greek. After touching the Hypor Slate, Tierra has already learned ancient Greek. Although she is not yet proficient, she still needs to learn Parseltongue. enough.

All that's left is a potion called Hydra Poison.

As the name suggests, Hydra Poison is poison, but it is not lethal. It is a by-product of Hydra's research on the Blood Curse, and it will only turn the user into a humanoid beast within 24 hours. If taken together with snake gall, this poison will only make the user dumb for a few months. After a few months, with proper study and practice, the Parseltongue can be initially mastered.

Most of the medicinal herbs in the Hydra poison are found in Merlin's garden, which he confirmed by climbing out of the pyramid in the past two days. Even the missing desert thorn flowers, goblin wings, grimacing swan chrysalis, African tree snake leather strips and the key part, the silver shell of the feathered snake, should be available in ordinary potion shops.

The set of hardcover printed magic textbooks collected by Merlin has been flipped through by Tierra, after reading the Hypor Tablets, in Living Hell Potion, Polyjuice Potion, These kinds of raw materials were seen in familiar potion formulas such as Nimagus potion, so they were not particularly precious things.

The only problem is the snake gall of the scorpion-tailed snake. In the 1645 edition of the Fantastic Creatures Illustrated Book, this snake has been hunted to the point of extinction because of its remarkable and powerful detoxification effect. I don’t know if it has survived after all these years.

It's best if you can learn Parseltongue, but if you can't...

If you can't learn Tierra, you have to consider the items he listed before.

Needless to say, the realgar mirror rooster.

Smoke bombs can block the basilisk's sight, and take the opportunity to escape at the same time. According to the setting in the movie, the basilisk's sense of smell does not seem to be very good. As long as the sight is blocked, the probability of his escape is still greatly increased.

Incendiary bombs can instantly generate high temperatures. According to the description of the Hypor Slate, the basilisk was afraid of fire in its infancy in addition to being afraid of attack calls, but as it grew older, the basilisk was no longer sensitive to flames. La speculated that this might be because as the basilisk's scales thickened, it was difficult for the temperature of ordinary flames to affect his nervous system through the thick leather armor.

But incendiary bombs are different. Thermite can reach a high temperature of 3,000 degrees in an instant, which is enough to burn steel, not to mention the flesh-and-blood basilisk, even if it is not fatal because it is a magical creature, it can still cause damage to the basilisk. A certain obstacle can give him time to escape.

It is not difficult to configure thermite bombs, and even Tierra has tried it a few times. Of course, it is not used to hit people, but to ignite aluminum powder and iron dioxide with matches in the laboratory, in response to school policies, Popular science chemistry experiments for high school and junior high school students around the university.

Iron dioxide, aluminum powder, and magnesium bars for ignition are put into glass bottles, but it is difficult to control the detonation time when the magnesium bars are ignited.

Therefore, a basic sulfur bomb mixed with sulfur, saltpeter and carbon powder is needed, and a wet towel soaked in a combustion aid is used as a fuse.

Tie a piece, once you meet the basilisk, ignite it and throw it together, generating heat that can melt metal.

Although Tierra can be regarded as a wizard now, including the magic of cursing worms, compared to Tierra of the same age, she has a lot of self-protection power.

But Tierra was a science student in his previous life, and when he encountered problems, he still habitually used technological thinking to solve them.

In other words, when facing unknown dangers, Tierra will feel safe only when she holds the power of technology in her hands.

This is a concept that has been accumulated for decades in the previous life, and it cannot be reversed by mastering a few magic spells in a short period of time.
