Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

Finally, after Dumbledore's explanation, Professor McGonagall agreed to the new professor's donation.

Moreover, donations can only be used to improve student dormitories. The dormitory bathrooms only support brushing teeth, washing face and going to the toilet, but do not support bathing.

Any extra funds must be returned to the new professors themselves.

After some discussion, the new professor’s residence was determined.

Next to the principal's office, the house elves will prepare a room to serve as the new professor's residence and the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the new semester.

"Albus, where did I get the money? Why don't you go out and grab some?"

In the principal's room, the transformed Grindelwald sat generously on the armrest of Albus's chair and asked.

"You have no money?"

Dumbledore raised his head, looked at him, and asked doubtfully.

"Why do you think I'm rich?"

Grindelwald asked rhetorically.

Dumbledore was also stunned, thought for a moment, and said:

"How about taking it from my vault?"

"No, I have a solution. Just wait."

After hearing this, Grindelwald immediately shook his head and said.

"Don't do anything bad."

Dumbledore looked at him worriedly, not knowing whether he was right or wrong in letting him go.

"Don't worry, it can be solved with just one letter."

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and said confidently to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore finally nodded and chose to believe him.

Grindelwald smiled brightly.

The portrait of the principal on the wall of the principal's office looked at the two people chatting calmly with a horrified expression.

They also didn't expect that Dumbledore would actually invite Grindelwald to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

and the intimate relationship between the two

'No one must know about this!'

This is their unanimous thought.

In front of Dumbledore, Grindelwald took control of the pen and paper and started writing.

The recipient is Vida Rozier.

She is a loyal believer in Grindelwald and has always loved Grindelwald deeply.

Now she should have become the patriarch of the Rozier family and is in charge of everything in the Rozier family.

Not long after the letter was sent, the reply arrived quickly, escorted by a withered owl.

Grindelwald took the letter from the withered owl's mouth, which was a bit thick.

Ignoring the withered owl's gaze, Grindelwald opened the letter in front of him and began

Seeing this, Dumbledore shook his head, waved his hand, and a glass of water and owl food specifically for long-distance owls were suspended in front of the withered owl.

The withered owl glanced at Grindelwald with disdain and began to eat happily.

After eating, he cried to Dumbledore, glanced sideways at Grindelwald, and left.

Grindelwald was not a vegetarian either. He pointed his finger at the shadow in the sky and a beam of light shot out.

"You really don't want to compete with a bird."

Dumbledore looked at this scene and shook his head.

"Albus, ever since we met, have I ever been wronged like this?"

Grindelwald said to him with a smile.

The withered owl flying in the air was hit by the beam. It trembled and its feathers scattered. It quickly adjusted its body shape and stabilized.

"Cuckoo, coo, coo, coo!"

A little further away from the principal's office, he circled in the air and kept yelling and cursing.

The owls in the distant owl shed were attracted by the movement and stuck their heads out one after another.

"Gugu~"

They communicated with each other, praising each other's profanity.

From time to time, I look at the withered owl's buttocks. It has a large area of ​​baldness. I can only say that it is indeed a fashionable and urban bird.

Grindelwald didn't understand anything he was yelling at, he just looked back blankly and didn't care.

Finally, the withered owl left in frustration.

The handwriting in the letter is elegant, but the mood of the writer can still be seen from some small details.

The handwriting is not very smooth, there are some jitter marks in some places, and, at the end, it is quite wild.

In the letter, Vidal Rozier confided her true feelings and promised Grindelwald that the Rozier family would always be loyal to him as long as she was alive.

It also talked about some old friends and some unforgettable years.

Grindelwald looked at it and felt a little emotional for a moment.

Dumbledore was waiting patiently for him.

In the end, the only thing left in the envelope was a vault key to the British Wizarding Bank.

After a welcome dinner, the major renovation of Hogwarts began.

"Didn't I ask you to restrain yourself a little?"

On the way back, Dumbledore complained that his face felt a little warm at the thought of hugging him at such an old age.

"Isn't it normal for a close friend I haven't seen for a long time to behave like this? What are you thinking! Go back quickly, I can't stand it anymore."

Grindelwald said quickly.

"well."

Dumbledore picked up his wand and cast a spell on Grindelwald's legs, and the two of them ran quickly towards the principal's office.

"Does it hurt?"

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald's somewhat deformed knee joint, poked it with his wand, and asked.

"Hiss! Be gentle."

Grindelwald exhaled softly.

"Has it been this serious before?"

"No, maybe the climate in Hogwarts is too humid."

The two of them asked and answered questions.

"Albus."

"Um?"

"Will you forgive me?"

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore who was applying the medicine on him and asked.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, but the movements of his hands did not stop. After a while, he said:

"We are all old."

silence.

"Yes, we are all old."

Dumbledore stood up, shook his hand, and the charged white essence on his hand disappeared.

"Is it effective?"

he asked.

"It's quite comfortable, numb, and I don't feel so bloated anymore."

Grindelwald said.

They focused on their knees, which were less swollen.

"I also have a fresh vegetable here, do you want to try it?"

"Can."

Dumbledore took out the Flame White Essence, dripped it onto Grindelwald's knees, and spread it gently with his hand.

"Albus, I like this feeling. It's like us being young and full of enthusiasm."

Dumbledore patted his knee angrily.

Although it was a little quiet, both of them enjoyed this rare time.

"Gail, that time..."

"Don't think about it, Albus, I won't tell you."

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Grindelwald.

"Doesn't that mean you're telling me?"

"Really? Then remember not to ask again."

The day passed like this.

Originally, Professor McGonagall only planned to install a bathroom in the student dormitory.

But I couldn't bear the advice of Professor Twining Woods.

He said, "Since we need to renovate it, we should make it more comfortable once and for all, so as not to have to do it again later."

Therefore, Hogwarts has undergone a major transformation.

The focus of the renovation is on the student dormitories and common rooms.

For the dormitories of different colleges, professors have made the following changes.

Slytherin adds a lot of magical flames and relies on magic patterns to provide it with magic power.

These magic flames simulate sunlight and are used in conjunction with the ventilation system to dry out the dormitory area and bring warmth to everyone.

Professor Flitwick specially used light-sensing magic patterns to make the magical flames light up at sunrise and extinguish at sunset, and the brightness is similar to the outside world.

Gryffindor and Ravenclaw mainly drew some light-blocking magic pattern systems inside each dormitory.

The switch is the curtain in the dormitory. When the curtain is drawn, the magic pattern system will be activated to prevent light from leaking through the cracks in the curtain.

At the same time, the professors also remodeled the wind shelter systems of the two towers, which can reduce strong winds into gentle breezes that can be blown into the dormitories.

Finally there is Hufflepuff, which is basically the same as the other houses.

Slytherin's magic flame is added, but the quantity is smaller; ventilation systems are available in all dormitory areas.

The main function of the ventilation system is to establish air circulation between the entire dormitory area, including the common room, and the outside natural world, giving the children a better living environment.

It is a magic pattern system composed of a series of magic patterns. The center is in the Room of Requirement, which can respond to sounds within the castle.

Confirm the external circulation point and the internal circulation point by marking the magic pattern, use the space magic pattern to open up the two areas, and then use the flow and exchange magic pattern to circulate the air between the two points.

External circulation points are placed in the following areas: the Forbidden Forest greenhouse area, the Forbidden Forest open area, and above the Great Lawn of Hogwarts and the Black Lake.

The circulation point in the Forbidden Forest has already contacted the Forbidden Forest forces and received permission.

An external circulation point can only establish connections to the two college dormitories and the common room.

Therefore, the number of external loop points is absolutely sufficient.

Moreover, there are more than one external circulation points in the Forbidden Forest Greenhouse Area, the Forbidden Forest Open Area, and areas above the Great Lawn of Hogwarts and the Black Lake.

However, professors are also scheming.

In the Forbidden Forest, especially in places with lush vegetation, Professor Sprout's role comes into play.

Each plant has its own unique flavor, and each season exhibits different flavors.

For example, some plants bloom in spring, others bloom in summer, and so on.

For example, some plants, when they sprout their buds in spring, emit a peculiar smell that is used to drive away pests, but this smell is very pleasant to humans.

Based on his vast and solid knowledge of plants, Professor Sprout laid out some good points.

A place where everything sprouts in spring and is full of life, a place where flowers bloom in summer and the fragrance is overflowing, etc.

Each season has a different taste, either elegant, mellow, dull, or warm.

These spots are limited, and not everyone’s favorite flavor is available in every season.

More circulation points just mean the air quality is better than indoors.

To this end, the professors also made a rough decision.

The external circulation points are rearranged once a week, according to the college grade, and are chosen by the college students themselves.

After the selection is made, it can be changed by the dean, or by the superior of the dean authorized by the dean. The authorization is limited to a certain period.

At the same time, the system also has a function, which is to supply air. The professors gave it a nice name, "Four Seasons Wind".

The dean of the corresponding college can choose whether to enable this function.

When turned on, the system will blow the wind blowing in Hogwarts each season into designated places in the dormitory area and common room, such as dormitory aisles.

After turning it on, they can change the size of the wind, the direction of the blowing, and even the temperature, humidity, and where it blows.

Of course, they won't change any options except region.

Professors believe that this has a great effect in preventing children from catching colds.

If the four-season wind is turned on in the corridor of the dormitory, children can feel the temperature changes of the outside world more quickly, add or remove clothing in time, and prevent colds.

The toilet is also the focus of this renovation.

I don’t know what other professors think. Professor Turningwoods wanted to add a bathing part to the toilet, but he was unanimously opposed by the professors.

Dumbledore told him with a miraculous look on his face that letting the students bathe in one place would be conducive to unity.

This gave Grindelwald a lot of trouble. Speaking of which, why don't you let Gryffindor and Slytherin take a bath together?

As soon as these words came out, the professors were stunned for a moment and began to think.

Grindelwald looked at them with even more horror, 'No way!

!’

The construction of toilets is somewhat laborious and expensive.

Different from other transformations, they only need to buy specific materials, draw the magic pattern system, and then hide it inside the castle wall, and it's done.

Hogwarts Castle is also very peculiar. As long as some runes related to space are added to the drawn magic pattern system, these magic pattern systems can create a separate space in the wall for the operation of the system.

Of course, this requires consuming the magic power of the castle.

However, the professors also have a solution, which is to start with the ink used to draw magic patterns.

Magic Ink is a unique formula passed down from Hogwarts.

Most of the materials it requires are rare materials, such as resin filled with magic and weak spirituality, sand that has experienced more than 300 space travels, and the like.

Although resin can be obtained from the Forbidden Forest, those are old trees. Not to mention the Forbidden Forest, not even Professor Sprout can pass this level.

The sand that travels through space is very simple, just bring some sand, continue to [Phantom Movement], or use floo powder.

Generally speaking, Hogwarts will have magic pattern ink in stock.

For toilets, professors need to use the [Invisible Stretch Spell] to create a space of the same size in each dormitory, and then build in it.

They also had to use magic to connect the drainage systems of all the toilets and so on.

The newly opened space is attached to Hogwarts Castle and requires magic power.

The professor is naturally unwilling to let Hogwarts bear such a huge amount of magic power consumption, so he can only purchase specific space stabilizing items to maintain these spaces.

There are two types of space-stabilizing items, one is an ancient item with its own magic power, and the other is an alchemical product.

The former can be maintained for a long time, while the latter has a certain time limit or requires magic power to maintain.

The toilet can only be used for brushing teeth, washing face and going to the toilet. Bathing and bathing are not allowed.

There is a squat toilet inside.

Professor McGonagall decided that the little wizards in the dormitory should clean the toilet by themselves, and it would be counted in the college's score.

This was inspected by the house elves at Hogwarts and reported to Professor McGonagall.

If the house elves cannot help but clean the toilet, they need to report it to Professor McGonagall, who will then deduct points.

At the same time, Professor Sprout also plans to place a pot of air-cleaning green plants in each dormitory.

This is related to the scores of the children's herbal medicine class exam. This pot of green plants will be a bonus point for their final exam. It is the same for the whole grade, 5 points.

If the plant is sick during the exam, there will be no points.

The professor will grade them based on the state of the plants during the final exam.

If the plant dies, not only will no points be added, but college points will also be deducted because it damages school property.
