Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Latest website: "My dear master, you haven't come to see me for a long time. I thought you had forgotten me."

A childish and slightly cold voice sounded in Clark's mind. This voice was filled with three parts of complaints, three parts of teasing, and three parts of joy.

Clark stepped forward and extended his right hand to the fire dragon Norbeta.

Charlie just wanted to remind him to pay attention to safety, but he didn't expect that Norberta, who had been very arrogant in front of him, immediately lowered her head in front of Clark and took the initiative to send it to his hands for him to caress.

Clark's palm gently stroked Norberta's long kiss. The tentacles were warm and smooth, as if they were touching not the scales of a ferocious beast, but the finest jade.

“What’s life like here?” asked in Mind Link.

"Okay."

Norberta pulled her head out from Clark's hand, raised her neck, stretched out her huge fleshy wings and flapped them, creating a strong wind, and moved her body.

“I don’t have to worry about food and drink here. The place where I live is protected from wind and rain, and there are people who help me take care of my health, brush my teeth, and clean my skin every day. It’s much more comfortable than before.

The only drawback is that it is a bit too boring, and every once in a while, a group of little guys come over and chatter around me, making my head hurt. "

Seemingly because it was usually difficult for anyone to communicate with her, Norberta seized the opportunity and pulled Clark along to talk non-stop.

Which food here is delicious and which is not? The guy who cleans and massages her has a heavy hand and who has a light hand. It can be said that there is no detail.

Of course, she didn't forget the most important thing to the fire dragon.

"Dear master, where are my gold coins? Where is the treasure you promised me, why haven't you cashed it yet?"

There was a bit of flattery in Norberta's huge voice. She put her head in front of Clark and exhaled hot breath from her slightly open mouth, as if the next moment, if Clark didn't agree, she would blow out flames from her mouth.

Clark smiled awkwardly, "Of course I won't forget it, but the entire dragon farm is not yet in operation, and it will take some time before I agree to your dividends."

Norberta snorted in dissatisfaction.

Clark quickly turned to Charlie in front of her and asked: "Charlie, the facilities of the dragon farm are almost completed. When do you think it can start official business?"

Charlie was stunned by his question. After a while, he said: "That's fine. Anyway, the preliminary preparations have been done, but I think the students just went to Hogsmeade today. Try not to open around Halloween.”

Clark nodded, looked at Norberta again, and explained: "You heard it, those students just finished spending money in Hogsmeade and their wallets are empty. If we open now, the effect will not be that good."

Norberta looked at him fiercely, but she also knew that what he said was the truth, so with a sigh of relief, she fluttered her wings, and her huge body shot straight into the sky in an instant, and disappeared into the forest in the distance in the blink of an eye. .

Harry watched the fire dragon go away with regret, and was very interested in what Clark revealed during the conversation with Charlie just now.

"What do you mean by opening just now?" Harry asked.

Charlie and Clark smiled at each other.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk." He said, calling Clark and Harry to walk down the steps on the side of the mountain.

Following this relatively wide mountain road down to the foot of the mountain, the magical town that originally looked a little deserted on the mountain was already in front of us.

What you see upon entering is a tall gate with the name "Fire Dragon Park" hanging on it. On the door number is a silhouette of a fire dragon roaring up to the sky.

Walking through the gate, the first stop is a wide square with flower beds, fountains, leisure seats and a huge stage.

In the center of the square, a three-meter-tall fire dragon statue is spreading its wings, ready to fly, as if to welcome all visitors coming in from the main entrance.

"This is the welcome square and the first stop to enter the 'Fire Dragon Park'." Charlie happily introduced the situation here to them, "Come on, go this way."

On the right side of the square is a street along the lake. On one side of the street is a blue lake, and on the other side are shops with unique characteristics that have not yet opened for business.

Although I haven't been to Hogsmeade yet, this street is also unique compared to Diagon Alley, which Harry is most familiar with.

On the streets, elements related to fire dragons can be seen almost everywhere. Whether it is the metal weather vane on the roof or the advertising posters on the street, you can see the figure of a fire dragon spreading its wings and ready to fly.

Even the cobblestone ground that Clark and the others were walking on now had stones of different colors spelling out the images of fire dragons.

Apart from that, the biggest impression left on Harry here was that it was clean and orderly.

Different from the narrow, crowded streets in Diagon Alley, with messy and crooked shops, the streets they walked on, the buildings on the roadside, were all very neatly designed and laid out.

"This is the commercial street of the park," Charlie pointed out. "Functionally, it mainly integrates shopping, dining, tourist services, etc. Now most of the shops have been rented out. Of course, there are A small number of stores are self-operated by us.”

Harry noticed that the shop signs had been hung up. In addition to various gourmet shops, there were also some labeled toys and souvenirs.

It was already noon, and their stomachs were growling. There happened to be a park's self-operated restaurant still open on this commercial street.

Charlie led them inside, and some of the sitting staff members saw him and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Professor Charlie!"

"Professor Charlie!"

Charlie responded with a smile and ordered another hamburger set for Harry and Clark.

The ground meat of the finest Australian beef has been fried to a beautiful brown color on the outside, but is still tender and juicy on the inside.

This kind of hot burger patty is paired with soft buns, refreshing fresh vegetables, and rich New Zealand cheese, plus a glass of ice-cold lemon soda and fried salt-and-pepper potato wedges that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It will definitely be a treat. A great choice to refuel after a long day.

It is worth noting that you must wrap it in oil paper when eating, otherwise the juice will flow down your arms and into the rolled up new sweater...

After Harry and the others had a delicious lunch, they continued walking along the commercial street and soon came to the entertainment area, the core area of ​​the entire "Fire Dragon Park".

Harry, who has lived in the Muggle world since he was a child, the most envious thing in his childhood was when cousin Dudley celebrated his birthday every year.

Every day, his aunt and uncle would take time to take Dudley and another of his friends to the playground for a day.

Usually at this time, they tend to throw Harry to their next door neighbor, Mrs. Figg.

But now, Harry did not expect that he could see so many entertainment facilities similar to Muggle playgrounds in the wizarding world.

"This is really great!" Harry couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course," Charlie agreed, "These are all designed by Clark specifically looking for Muggle designers. I didn't expect Muggles to be so good at entertainment. Compared with them, the games we played when we were children are simply amazing. It’s like playing house.”

Harry couldn't help but nodded.

During the summer vacation of his first grade, he had been fortunate enough to live in Ron's house for a while. Of course, he knew how children from ordinary wizarding families usually had fun, which was nothing more than riding broomsticks or chasing away goblins.

But here, Harry saw a roller coaster with the shape of a fire dragon. There was no track under the car body, because it could really fly in the air and perform various complex and exciting movements, giving the human body the experience of riding on the back of a fire dragon. , the pleasure of taming the fire dragon.

Riding broomsticks, ejecting and colliding with each other like bumper cars is also a very novel experience.

Don't worry about being hurt. The broomsticks provided by the amusement park are equipped with gentle protective charms that will make your whole body feel like you are wrapped in a giant bouncy ball.

In addition, there is a real haunted house here, which is different from the fake haunted houses in the Muggle world. There are real ghosts and skeletons in it, but it is much more interesting than the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.

Of course, the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel specially designed for girls and timid students are also indispensable.

And if you are tired of playing, continue walking along the street, turn a corner to the right, get on the bridge, and come to a small island in the middle of the lake.

Thanks to the subtropical climate created by magic, here you can choose to sunbathe on the beach, or take a boat to float on the lake and experience the feeling of the moist breeze blowing gently on your face.

If you like excitement, lake surfing is also an entertainment project you must not miss.

But in the middle of the island in the middle of the lake, Harry also discovered a huge construction site surrounded by scaffolding.

Charlie noticed his gaze and introduced: "According to Clark's design, a 'Tower of Babel' will be built with a magic sightseeing elevator inside and a sky restaurant on the top. You can see the panoramic view of the entire dragon farm from above. .”

"After completion, some high-altitude entertainment projects can be added, such as high-altitude bungee jumping, paragliding, high-altitude swings, etc." Clark added.

"Of course, that belongs to the second phase of the 'Fire Dragon Park' project," Clark said, "including the 'underwater rafting' and 'lake bottom exploration' projects on this small island in the middle of the lake, which will be completed together."

"We have to decide the progress of the project based on the actual operation of the park, but it will not be beyond the start of the next semester at the latest."

Harry looked expectantly at the construction site of the "Tower of Babel" again.

They left and walked forward, over the bridge, to the other side of the lake.

The scene here is similar to other places in the dragon farm. A winding path extends directly into the interior of the forest.

"This is a rainforest area, mainly an ecological wilderness," Charlie introduced. "It is home to a variety of very gentle magical creatures and plants. It can be used as a practical place for herbal medicine classes and classes on the protection of magical creatures."

Together they walked along the path in the rainforest, surrounded by all kinds of novel magical plants, many of which Harry had only seen in the textbooks of Herbology class.

"This is actually the place where the Dragon Farm is most closely integrated with Hogwarts. We built this venue not only to raise fire dragons, but also to combine teaching, production and trade to create a new teaching environment for Hogwarts." , find a way out.”

Clark said to Harry and Charlie as he walked away.

"Magic is actually a subject that pays equal attention to theory and practice. At the same time, it is also an extraordinary skill for communication between man and nature.

Many of our spells actually contain a lot of Gudrui's ideas.

But before that, most of our studies were spent in the castle, flipping through boring textbooks, or sitting in front of the crucible, monotonously brewing potions. "

Harry and Charlie nodded, expressing their deep feelings, especially Harry, who recalled the teaching model of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Lupine. Those practical classes were indeed more lively, interesting and memorable than just reading.

"So we invested a lot of money to build this huge dragon farm. In addition to raising fire dragons, it can also provide more help for the school's teaching activities.

For example, the herbal medicine class I just mentioned, the previous herbal medicine class, we all conducted in the greenhouse behind the castle.

But we must understand that in real life, when we encounter those herbs, they are often in various natural environments, and they cannot be potted.

At this time, we need to have a more comprehensive understanding of these magical herbs and understand their ecological knowledge.

And this is something that greenhouses cannot teach us. "

"No wonder you also planned the third phase of the project." Charlie said.

Clark smiled.

"Yes, the first phase is the main project of the dragon breeding venue. The second phase is to improve the entertainment facilities and attract other tourists to ensure that the entire venue can operate normally and generate profits. The third phase of the project is It is a variety of teaching venues that combine teaching and practice.”

After hearing his words, Harry unconsciously looked forward to his future campus life even more.

At this moment, just as Clark told him before on the Hogwarts Express, it seemed that even if he could not go to Hogsmeade, it would not be so difficult to accept.

The three of them passed through the rainforest area without stopping. The entire route circled around the huge lake in the center of the park and returned to the starting point of Fire Dragon Park.

"The most important thing next is to complete the remaining finishing works so that those businesses can move in normally before opening."

They returned to the reception hall, and Clark told Charlie, "In addition, we need to do safety precautions. Safety is the top priority of the park. We must identify the sources of danger and make emergency plans."

Charlie agreed, "Don't worry, I understand. By the way, there is also the matter of the Floo network..."

Clark patted his arm, "Don't worry, our school director at Hogwarts will coordinate with the Ministry of Magic on those matters. When the time comes, the network will be directly connected to the fireplace here."

In this way, after saying goodbye to Charlie, they finally returned to the castle before dark.
