Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

As this strange magic power continued to accumulate and ripple, it finally attracted the attention of Dumbledore and Flamel.

"winter!"

Dumbledore's magic power exploded, instantly waking everyone up and gathering everyone together.

"Oh! My ears. Albus, I hope your method of waking up in the future will be gentler. This will make people uneasy and more likely to be..."

"Merlin! This is truly a miracle."

Before Nico could finish complaining, a thick and noble aura enveloped the room.

No matter who it was, the magic power was almost suspended.

You must know that magic, like the world, is constantly in motion.

This situation had to surprise Nico.

He had also tried related experiments before, but without success.

He can only reduce the magic power at the maximum speed. If it is reduced to a certain level, every time the magic speed is reduced by one standard scale, the consumption required will be almost several times the previous reduction.

Of course, the miracle doesn't end there.

A burst of golden light emerged from the surrounding walls and enveloped the room.

After passing through the crowd, the LeMay couple felt very comfortable in the golden light, and felt much younger.

The strange magic power was gradually gathered into the center, shining with colorful black, full of malice and greed, and finally turned into a solid ball.

The golden light gathered in the center and enveloped the ball.

A silver halo appeared in the golden light, full of holiness. The halo enveloped the ball, evaporating the impurities inside and removing the malice inside.

Then, there was a burst of thunder and lightning, and the light flashed on the ball.

Finally, the ball turned into a blue-black transparent crystal that exuded colorful light.

Everyone watched this scene happen with strange expressions on their faces.

If I guessed correctly, the silver halo should be the unicorn's purification or blessing magic.

As for the thunder and lightning, you can tell at a glance that it is the magic of the thunderbird.

I just don’t know which one it is, but since Thunderbird became a neighbor at Hogwarts, professors have known several of Thunderbird’s signature magics.

They are very familiar with things like [Call Thunder], [Thunder Guard], [Thunder Treatment] and the like.

Because every once in a while, you can see the King of the Forbidden Forest and Sophia having a magic duel above the Black Lake.

Even many young wizards in the school worship the King of the Forbidden Forest.

This situation became even more serious after the emergence of the Forbidden Forest Development Zone.

Many young wizards, under the brainwashing of the younger generation of Centaurs and Acromantulas, began to call the King of the Forbidden Forest "my king".

"Albus? Albus?"

Looking at Dumbledore who suddenly became stunned, Nico called softly.

"Ah! What's wrong?"

Dumbledore suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Nico, and asked apologetically.

"It's okay, what's wrong with you?"

Nico looked at him worriedly and asked.

"It's okay, I just encountered something interesting."

Dumbledore touched his white beard and said with a strange expression.

"Huh? Tell me."

Nico immediately showed an interested look and said.

"The will of Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest wishes that I could give it to them."

….

Dumbledore said with great interest, pointing to the crystal hanging in the air.

"Oh? There is also this matter. Didn't you agree?"

Nico asked.

At this time, Nico's wife and the professors at Hogwarts were attracted by their conversation and looked at Dumbledore.

"Why didn't they agree? But they don't know how to distribute it."

Dumbledore showed an incomprehensible expression.

Everyone also looked at each other, always feeling that they were a little stupid.

Silly look.

"Didn't you allocate it to them? Or do they disagree with your allocation method?"

Nico asked.

"No, didn't you wake me up? How do you think it should be distributed? Nico."

Dumbledore said.

"How else can we divide it, half on each side."

As soon as Nico finished speaking, the crystal in the air was engulfed in golden light.

Under everyone's stunned eyes, the golden light disappeared as soon as it dispersed.

Afterwards, accompanied by Dumbledore and the centaur leader Amanda, the Flamel couple walked around the Forbidden Forest and visited the King of the Forbidden Forest.

When Ralph saw the Flamel couple, the feathers made of blue electrified velvet between his eyebrows lit up.

"The cost of escaping death is not just the physical body."

Inexplicably, he said these words, and the chirping of birds echoed around him, overflowing with majesty.

After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Flamel were stunned for a moment.

Nico noticed that there was a lightning mark between the Forbidden Forest King's eyebrows, which reminded him of something.

"Dear King of the Forbidden Forest, thank you for your warning."

As soon as these words came out, Dumbledore and Centaur Amanda were startled.

"As time goes by, we can always find a remedy. This is one of the reasons why we continue to live, even though it is very insignificant."

Nico said.

Next, a few people chatted for a while, and Ralph also released his lightning incarnation and took them to visit the Star Spring.

Ralph told the Flamel couple the story of Star Fountain, and told them that perhaps the water from Star Fountain could help them repair some damage.

They also thought they could give it a try, so they exchanged their magic power for some spring water and stored it.

It was also the first time that Ralph and Amanda saw the upper limit of the Star Fountain in exchange for spring water, thanks to the magic power that Nico had accumulated for centuries.

After that, Nico played at Hogwarts for a few more days before saying goodbye and leaving, no longer disturbing the teaching at Hogwarts.

The astrology hall has only made a rough outline, and more details need to be filled in by professors.

Although the construction has not been completed yet, it is still possible to open some basic functions and give children exams.

For this exam, Professor Sinistra made the ceiling and walls completely transparent, and used magic to reduce the obstruction of the clouds, so that the sky can be revealed to the children's eyes.

In other words, what the students identified this time was the night sky in nature, not Professor Sinistra's star map.

Ralph was the first to enter their dormitory.

As a thunderbird, he is very familiar with the stars in the sky, and using the stars to guide him is like instinct for him.

After a while, Ralph came out with a weak smile.

Many students breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ralph's expression, thinking to themselves, 'It seems like it's not as difficult as the seniors said.

….

Professor Sinister was also very happy after testing Ralph. This was the first student she had ever met who was so familiar with the astrology.

If Professor McGonagall hadn't stipulated that only 5 extra points could be added, she would have wanted to add 20 points to Ralph.

The other students who followed, including Ralph's roommates, all walked in confidently, and then walked out with doubtful expressions on their faces.

He looked at Ralph, who was still waiting for his roommate, as if he were a monster.

William and the others came out and punched Ralph directly, venting their inner grief and anger.

"Why did you hit me? Is it so difficult? Isn't it clearly explained in the book?"

Ralph looked at William and said frankly.

Looking at Ralph's sincere eyes, they were also helpless. Should they be able to use it if it is in the book?

After the commotion didn't last long, everyone went back to sleep. It was already quite late.

At this time, Filch was waiting at the exit with his cat and a lantern.

one by one small

Whenever a wizard walked by, he would give them a vicious look and make them shut up voluntarily.

Only when he met Ralph and his group, he would give him an ugly smile, and Ralph and the others would smile back.

Daniel, who was more enthusiastic, even waved to him, as if he were meeting a familiar person.

This shocked all the little wizards. They wondered why Filch had such a good relationship with Ralph and the others.

Not only that, but it was a strange thing for Barty and Ralph to come together.

There was no exam the next morning, so I was free.

In the afternoon is the potions exam.

In the Potions exam, theory only accounts for 30%, and practical practice accounts for the remaining 70%.

The content of the theory test is the formula, steps, etc. of the potion, and the last question is about talking about your development prospects for a certain potion.

The practical test for first-year students is to brew a forgetting potion.

At the beginning of the exam, Professor Sgrughorn specifically emphasized that only the potion ingredients specified in the formula could be used, and each person was limited to three ingredients.

Moreover, he also told everyone:

If it is completed in just one copy, the score must be between 75-100 points;

For two copies, 60-75 points;

Three servings, 40-60 points.

This completely eliminated Ralph's idea of ​​doing some small operations.

The recipe for the Forgotten Potion is: Lethe River water, valerian and mistletoe berries.

The water of the Wangchuan River is not the water of the Wangchuan River in the true sense.

It comes in two formulations.

One is made by converting the extracted memories into the dew that was received when the sun rose and had not been exposed to direct sunlight or for too long.

The second is to take a blooming flower of the other shore flower (all the petals must be there) and add the dew collected from the willow branches growing near the living water in a ceramic jar.

Bury the jar under the soil made from the leaves of the Higanbana flower. For convenience, it is usually buried directly under the Higanbana flower.

Wait for 7 days, dig out the jar, and pour out the liquid inside. The clear and transparent liquid obtained after multiple filtrations is the Wangchuan River water.

The quality of the Forgotten River water produced by the former varies greatly, and is greatly affected by the proficiency of the person extracting the memory and the person being extracted.

But the amount that can be prepared at one time is large, and Hogwarts uses this method.

….

Whether it is Dumbledore or Professor Slughorn, they are already very skilled as extractors and extractees.

They even know which memories of the Forgotten River water are more suitable for brewing amnesia potions, and which ones are suitable for other potions.

The quality of the latter is good and has always been above average, but the steps are quite cumbersome and the amount that can be prepared at one time is not much.

However, Professor Sgrahorn will still prepare some of this Lethe River water, because some potions have the best effect when using it.

Ralph looked at the three formulas on the table, arranged the equipment, and started brewing the potion.

With a click of the magic wand, the flame ignited, the water from the Forgotten River was put into the crucible, and the fire slowly simmered.

The Wangchuan River water they used for the exam was made from memory, and it was purchased from the market, so the quality was not very good.

This type of Wangchuan River water needs to be simmered slowly over low heat until the silvery flocculent suspended matter in the liquid disappears, then it can be stopped.

During this time, Ralph began to prepare materials.

Although there are only three potions, brewing this potion is still somewhat difficult.

Apart from the water of the Lethe River, the simplest thing is the mistletoe berry.

We need to prepare two containers, peel the skin and pulp of the berries, store them separately, and wash off the juice on the peel. It is best to burn them next to a flame.

Valerian is the whole plant in flowering stage.

The flowers, leaves, stems and roots need to be separated, the flowers and leaves are in one group, and the others are in a separate group.

Rub the flowers a little and let them disperse; the leaves

Cut the berry skin into strips; cut the rhizome into small pieces.

Heat the Wangchuan River water until small bubbles float upward from the ground, then add the flowers and leaves without stirring.

When the color changes from thick purple-green to dull dark purple and fine bubbles appear on the walls of the crucible, add the berry skin.

[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended this book to me, @! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. 】

At this time, the color will not change much, but those small bubbles will retract.

When the small bubbles are completely retracted, as if there is a gaseous film between the liquid and the crucible, add the valerian stems.

There is a test point here, that is, you need to leave a longer stem for stirring, stir the correct number of turns and direction, and then put it into the crucible.

The color changes to a brighter cyan and remains clear.

At this time, we will see that the gas film stretches out small tentacles and then disappears in the liquid.

When the gas film completely disappears and the small tentacles disappear, you can add the berry pulp.

It is worth noting that the pulp does not need to be pitted.

Removing the core is not only unnecessary, but will also greatly reduce the effectiveness of the potion.

In this step, you don’t need to pay much attention. As long as the color changes from cyan to bright purple and the medicine is clear, you can add the valerian root.

After adding valerian root, the first thing that changes is the color.

It will change from bright purple to an opaque, thick earthy yellow.

At this time, it needs to be simmered on a low fire, and the bubbles will roll around until the surface bursts, and the medicine will become clearer.

When the potion becomes completely clear, with purple highlights flashing among the darker khaki, you can light the fire, raise your hand and signal to the professor.

There is no doubt that Ralph and his dormitory have achieved good results.

The last practical exam was Transfiguration, the morning after the Potions exam.

It's a 50-50 score, 50 percent each.

The practical content is also quite simple.

The test object is a small wooden block, and candidates need to deform it.

First make it larger, to the maximum volume you can maintain, and maintain it for half a minute.

Then, under the professor's instructions, it changes back to its original shape;

Finally, change its shape.

There is a prerequisite for morphological change, that is, material changes must occur, otherwise this item will not be qualified.

Ralph conjured up a pack of tissue paper wrapped in a transparent film. Each layer of tissue paper inside could be clearly seen and could be pulled out.

This shocked Dumbledore and gave him full marks.

It also has bonus points, but it tests the students' imagination and is completely judged by the professor. Ralph naturally achieved it.

All the exams for the first grade were finally over, and everyone had the ultimate relaxing time.

However, there are still scroll kings.

The Ravenclaw children have already started doing their holiday homework.

Hogwarts: Storm Chaser.
