Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

The aftershocks of the gang fights are still spreading, but of course the focus of the undercurrents that followed will not remain on the students.

A month's winter vacation is enough time for the adults to heal every scar left by the curse on these little ghosts. After the winter vacation, they will come back and continue their studies as usual.

Jody was currently in the Shrieking Shack, with a hot hallucinogen drink in his cup and tobacco burning in his pipe.

Ogli didn't know what interesting thing suddenly occurred to him, and he was in a hurry to speak. Unexpectedly, he choked hard, "Ahem, cough, cough~ I said... cough, there was a Slytherin brat who asked me in the dream trial yesterday.

Where did it go?"

"You told them what I told them?" Jodi blew out a smoke ring and arched his eyebrows into a figure eight.

"Of course, I said that I was locked up in a dark place by several Slytherins. Now I can't even move. I'm almost starving to death!" Ogli exaggeratedly used his body language to explain his excitement.

.

In the original work, there is a prop called the disappearing cabinet.

The Vanishing Cabinet is a legend among students, somewhat similar to the Seven Weird Stories on Campus.

This cabinet will move from one corner of the school to another. Once something is placed in it, it may disappear inexplicably after a few days.

In Harry Potter 6, Malbao repaired the connection between the two Vanishing Cabinets and allowed the Death Eaters to enter the school, while in Harry Potter 5, the Weasley twins used it to lock a Slytherin named Montague.

The child was transported away by the disappearing cabinet and was imprisoned for several weeks before escaping.

A few weeks is enough to cause panic.

In fact, the school has submitted a letter to the Ministry of Magic after the winter vacation. Since the Ministry of Magic has restricted a lot of teachers' freedom, it should be their responsibility for the students to do something.

"What I have a headache now is how to make you reappear in a exhausted state, and then the professors will find you in a miserable state." Jody got up from the ground and walked to the table.

There are some opened envelopes on the desk.

"Haha, don't worry about this. When I was at my aunt's house, she always liked to use the berries of a certain plant to torment the animals she raised. I sent an owl to buy me some rice lice berries, and after eating them, I was slightly poisoned.

My stomach has been upset for two days. That state will definitely be worse than the worst person you have ever seen."

Jody chewed on his pipe and snorted to show he heard it.

Trevor changed the subject, "I took a look at your letters. Are you studying the wand?"

Jody nodded, and in the process his snake-shaped guardian angel crawled out of the totem.

Jody waved his wand: "Lumos"

A bright white radio and television appeared at the tip of the wand, and a white snake floated into the air and wrapped around the wand. The match placed far away next to the oil lamp on the ground was picked up by an invisible hand, and the flame was lit to light the lamp.

"Cool~" Ogli squatted aside and sighed sincerely, "You learn much faster than me."

Jodi used the spiritual sense segmentation technique to realize multi-line operations, but when he was about to spread the drawing in mid-air, he tried several times and failed to pick it up from the table.

It's the limit, Jody understands.

So he had no choice but to pick up the letters and said, "Yes, I am corresponding with Mr. Ollivander, who sells wands. He has taught me a lot of things. Some of them require your cooperation with me to verify."

Jody pointed towards the corner of the room, and used the mage's hand to take out the large jars he had brought earlier today and arrange them in order.

The clear water in the bucket filled by Ogli condensed into a stream, drew an arc in the air, and fell into the jar.

"I have no intention of leaving you idle. After today's exercise, it's time to start our research." Jody accurately controlled the proportions of the powders in the air and then mixed them into the water jar.

Ogli's character can be a good tool in front of people he trusts. He grinds the powder very finely.

"Throw your wand in and let's take a look at your magic structure. Then don't disturb me for the rest of the time. I have to study Mr. Ollivander's letter carefully."

"Well, what should I do?"

Jody raised his eyelids and glanced at the other party's lazy look, "Before the experiment begins, you must ensure that you are proficient in the spiritual consciousness segmentation technique. If you can't practice it anymore, then continue practicing the floating spell, although you don't have mental overclocking to help you.

, but you can feel it for yourself first.”

"Ah~" Ogli is not very good at this kind of metaphysical things, "I'd better continue studying the segmentation technique."

Ignoring him, Jody focused on his letter.

'Joyce, my young friend. How are you? I don't know why I wasn't surprised at all when I heard you talk about your interest in the seven doors of Hogwarts.

It's a pity that I know very little about the Seven Gates, the position of the priest, and the magic of the Age of Gods, so I may not be able to help you much.

I used to think that the art of wands lies in being one step ahead of others, taking a new path a little more than others and experiencing a more suitable magical medium.

But from talking to you, I have to admit that I am starting to become an old person.

Some of your understanding of magic has surpassed mine.

Your idea is not wrong. The greatest effect of the Seven Doors of Magic of the Age of Gods is to solidify the original power in the space where Hogwarts is located. And since the origin can be fixed, the mysterious nature that originates from the origin in the wizard's body can also be fixed.

The last of the four magical properties of spellcasting can be used because the mystery within the wizards leaves traces in the wand.

Your proposal of using an extra spirit body to reside in the wand to complete the vacancy in the wand's soul after its body and spirit to help the wizard fix the mystery is a proposal well worth trying.

Just like what you said in your analogy, 'If I don't have enough strength to hold it, can we make it grow a hand to hold me back...' It's really an interesting statement.

I have attached the knowledge about the containment of spirit bodies at the bottom of the letter. If you are as proficient in using the Patronus Charm as you said, you should be able to master it soon.

Hope you can discover some new things.

——Your faithful friend, Garrick Ollivander.’

The snake spirit held Jodi's wand in its mouth and kept circling in mid-air to maintain the height of the light source. Jodi pulled out the totem that Quirrell had carved for him.

A lot of the knowledge that Mr. Ollivander gave him was related to shamanic magic. It also involved a small amount of rune casting. It is far from simple to practice as that bad old man Ollivander said.

Jody has been studying the notebook that came with the letter for two days.

When he found out that his idea was feasible, he became extremely enthusiastic about learning. These soul-catching magics can not only be used to assist in the control of guardian spirits.

For Jody they serve an even more important purpose.

Photograph the spirit!

With it, no matter whether Master Flamel and Professor Quirrell can succeed in repairing it, he will never be able to accept the appointment of a little ghost.

……………………

At this time, in the principal's office on the top floor of Hogwarts, Dumbledore was relaxing on his chair, quietly listening to Snape's report on the recent commotion.

Dumbledore had already embarked on his journey, but after hearing that a student was missing, he immediately decided to return to school.

The Ministry of Magic did not continue to press on this point.

Dumbledore's return made most professors feel relieved.

Except Snape.

"You should never come back at this time! As long as you wait a little longer, the Ministry of Magic will inevitably give in and ask you to come back to take charge of the overall situation. You should wait until then!

The disappearance of a young wizard in school is definitely a big deal. And no matter how powerful the Auror is, there is no way to investigate anything in the school!

If necessary, just add some small tricks to make the image of the council plummet.

The existence of the board of directors can only hinder the operation of the school, and it is in our interest to let the parents of those students who support them see the facts clearly!"

"Severus, thank you." Dumbledore's polite yet awkward smile was full of relief, "But I can't risk the safety of my students."

"No one is in danger, Albus!

This fight between students was premeditated and I'm sure Tricky O'Grey was hidden by that smartass Joyce!

Their clever plan was full of loopholes, but as long as the timing of the plan's emergence was special enough, it would be enough to make up for their success.

You have also seen the support of all the faculty and staff, and you have also seen the Ministry of Magic's helplessness after this matter unfolded.

Before anyone notices your return, return to your rightful place. I implore you."

Dumbledore crossed his hands under his nose with a thoughtful expression, but in the end he refused, "Severus, I still think that I should be where I am now. Before the students ask for help,

I can do nothing, but if a student asks for help, they should be able to find me as soon as they look up."

"headmaster……"

"Professor!" Dumbledore said seriously and interrupted Snape, "I know what you are worried about, but nothing is ever static. Even if I am no longer the headmaster, there can still be many people to take my place.

I take care of Hogwarts."

"I admit that Professor McGonagall is respectable..."

"I think you are also qualified to be the headmaster." Dumbledore shook his head and said something that shocked Snape, "Actually, I always think you are more suitable than her."

Snape opened and closed his mouth as if he couldn't find the words. Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and turned around, intending to leave.

"I'm serious, Severus! Just in case, I hope you can make some preparations!"

Snape paused.

He turned sideways slightly, but finally gave up looking back.

The slightly lonely figure disappeared under the doorway.
