Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Once you can use magic, everything becomes easier.

McNeil kept using detection spells to search for suspicious places nearby, while Ike was responsible for using the floating spell on the two of them, which was specially strengthened. They could fly far away with one step. Only in this way can they be used to their fullest potential.

The function of the detection spell.

Starting from France, the two of them followed the direction of the Alps, passed through northern Italy, southern Germany, and finally arrived in Austria, close to Switzerland.

Even with magic, this is not an easy journey.

"Maybe we should come to Austria from the beginning." In the vast snow-capped mountains, McNeil drank a sip of hot water from a kettle and suddenly felt that his body felt much warmer.

It's not that he is cold, a constant temperature spell can solve it, but in this kind of ice and snow, people will always feel a little cold.

"No one could have imagined this, but we have not gained anything along the way." Ike was still wearing a thin robe, a big hood covering his face, and a pair of glasses. It was Deng's first grade summer vacation.

A small gift from Bledo.

"Yeah, who would have thought that there are still living members of the Rozier family and the Rohr family." McNeil sighed, "Since Evan died, I thought they had been exterminated."

"This is quite a surprise."

"Yes." Ike agreed. He never thought that the people from those two families would hide in Germany and even hide in the mountains and forests. If he hadn't seen through the protective magic they set around their residence,

, I really can’t find these guys.

However, the Rozier and Rohr families suffered a disaster during the First Wizarding War. Even if they escaped, not many people escaped. However, even so, after learning the news of Comrade Lao Fu's resurrection, this group of people

He still decided to return to England and return to Lao Fu's command.

It was difficult for Ike to understand why they did this. Apart from a few white-haired old men in those two families, there were only a few people who were about the same age as him, and at most they were about to reach adulthood. In addition,

Living in isolation from the world for many years has made these people not in a very good state, and they are a little nervous.

After thinking about it, Ike felt relieved. After all, there were not many normal people who could hang out with Comrade Lao Fu.

McNeil recognized those white-haired old guys. They had fought together against the Ministry of Magic decades ago. When the two sides met, they seemed to be overjoyed to see each other again after a long absence. After that, there was a pleasant exchange of information.

.

After one night, the two families returned west to London, while Ike and McNeill headed east to Austria.

After all, they have lived in the mountains for decades, and they know the traces of the giants.

"If the clues they gave are correct, it should be around here." McNeil put away the kettle and looked at the scenery around him that seemed to be printed with a mold.

"I think it doesn't matter whether we have their help or not, we still basically walked the entire Alps." Ike said calmly.

Hearing this, McNeil felt a little embarrassed, but he covered it up immediately. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's go, find those guys earlier, so we can go back earlier."

After having a target, people's mood changed, and even the search speed was much faster. At this time, more than half a month had passed since the two set out, and they were both eager to end it as soon as possible.

After searching like this for three or four days, the two finally found the big group of guys.

In the inaccessible mountains, over the ridge, several tall figures of more than 20 feet were below. They gathered together, some walking slowly, some sitting on the ground, around a small bonfire in the middle. From time to time

, a giant came back, carrying all kinds of prey and trees, looking very orderly.

"Let's go down again tomorrow to meet their Gu Ge." McNeil looked at the sky and said, "Take a shower tonight and have a good rest."

"Gugo?" Ike asked, "What is that?"

"The leader of the giants, their name is Gugo, the ugliest and tallest among the group of guys." McNeil led Ike to hide behind a huge stone, and said while taking out the tent, "He is easy to recognize.

"

The two of them entered the tent, went to their own houses and slept peacefully all night. The next morning, they went down the mountain in high spirits and headed towards the giant tribe.

McNeill was walking at the front. When he was on the mountain yesterday, he had found Gugo's location, by the lake in the innermost part of the valley. Along the way, he completely ignored the other giants in the valley and held up a very large

box and walked straight to the lake.

Ike followed, and when the two came to Gugo, McNeil respectfully placed the box on the snow next to the tall and ugly giant, bowed, and shouted loudly: "The Dark Lord gives the giant Gugo

A gift from Ge as a mark of respect!"

Gu Ge had already noticed the two of them. When he saw this, he straightened up a little, opened his mouth, and said something that Ike couldn't understand. Not long after, two shorter giants came.

"What is this?" A giant stumbled and said with a very loud voice and a very obvious accent.

"The music box made by the goblin can produce beautiful music," McNeil said.

The giant whispered to Gu Ge and asked, "Gu Ge wants to ask, besides making sounds, what else can it do?"

"It helps you sleep better," McNeil replied.

Gu Ge was obviously not very satisfied with McNeil's answer, but it was a magic item anyway, so he accepted it.

Seeing this, McNeil spoke loudly again: "The Dark Lord hopes that when the messenger brings gifts tomorrow, Gugo can talk to the messenger about something."

"Gugo agreed." The giant replied. Hearing this, McNeil and Ike bowed like Gugo again, walked backward for a long time, and then turned and left.

After returning to the tent, Ike asked: "Why don't we ask today?"

"Today's gift did not satisfy Gu Ge." McNeil frowned, "I admit, I underestimated that guy, and I will have to come up with something more precious tomorrow."

"The great sword made by fairies should be a good choice."

"You should give this as a gift today." Ike said calmly, "I don't think those giants know how to appreciate music."

Hearing this, McNeil showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, smiled, and didn't answer anything.

"I'm going to go out for a walk and get familiar with the surrounding environment." After saying that, he left the tent.

I didn't come back until it was almost evening.

After dinner and a night's rest, the two entered the giant tribe again early the next morning.

When McNeill handed the big sword to Gugo, it was obvious that he was very satisfied this time. He grabbed the hilt and waved it a few times.

"Gu Ge is very satisfied with your gift. He agrees to talk to you." The giant from yesterday translated.

McNeil was very happy and said immediately: "The Dark Lord hopes that Gugo can lead your tribe back to England. He promised to give you and your tribe a huge piece of land, as long as you can help him occupy the Ministry of Magic and defeat Dumbledore."

Lido."

The giant translated all McNeil's words to Gugo, but Gugo's reaction was fierce. He shouted, roared, and threatened McNeil with a big sword.

"Gugo disagrees. Gugo knows that Dumbledore is opposed to killing the last giant in Britain. He is a good man." The giant translated. "Gugo also knows that the Dark Lord is an evil and cruel wizard. Gugo does not agree with you."

proposal."

"It's time for you to leave, you are not welcome here!"

McNeil's expression was ugly, but looking at Gu Ge's fierce look in front of him, he still bowed and pulled Ike away.

Along the way, McNeil was obviously suppressing his anger. As soon as he entered the tent, he kicked away the small coffee table next to the sofa.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" he cursed, "We have to think of other ways!"

McNeil scratched his head and wandered around the living room like a headless fly. After a while, he stopped.

Touching his chin, as if he remembered something, he said, "No, we can't just give up!"

"Of course we can't just give up." Ike said calmly, "Teacher's mission must be completed."

"I know." McNeil replied casually, sat down on the sofa, thought about it again, and then said, "It seems that this Gugo will not agree, but what if we change to another Gugo?"

"Change to Gugo?" Ike asked with a puzzled expression at the right time.

"Yes, change to Gugo." McNeil clapped his hands. He thought his idea was great. "Giants are not peaceful guys. They always conflict for various reasons.

Fighting for the position of leader is very common."

"Then you need to find someone who wants to be the leader." Ike said, "He must be very strong and be able to defeat the current Gu Ge."

"More importantly, he must agree to our proposal."

"Yes, yes, that's it." McNeil stood up, took two or three steps to the door, and raised his hand to open the curtain.

"You wait here, I'll go to the tribe to check. It should be fine in the evening."

He said that, but when he came back in the evening, McNeill's face looked ugly, and it was obviously not going well. He went out early the next morning, and when he came back in the evening, there was still no progress.

Two more days passed like this. When McNeil came back with a frown on his face again, Ike was used to it and just casually asked in a routine manner: "How are you today?"

"Very good, I have found the giant who can become the new Gugo."

"Then why do you look like this?" Ike said, "Your brows can kill flies."

"I saw Dumbledore's people, Hagrid and the headmistress from Beauxbatons!" McNeil said, "Damn it, why are they here!"

"It was not expected that they would come, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly." Ike also frowned and touched his chin, looking like he was thinking hard.

"This is very troublesome, little master, you should know." McNeil said, "We have broken down with the old Gu Ge, and I have only just started talking to the new giant named Gao Gaoma..."

"So you have to hurry up, I guess we don't have much time, only a day or two, the day after tomorrow at the latest..."

"Gao Gao Ma."

"...Yes, Gao Gaoma, he must become the new Gu Ge the day after tomorrow at the latest." After saying that, Ike paused and asked, "Are you sure that the man named Gao Gaoma will agree to our proposal?

"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a problem." McNeil scratched his hair, with an annoyed look on his face, "At least he was a little interested in my proposal, after I gave him a pair of wrist guards made by goblins."

Hearing this, Ike looked strange: "You brought a whole set of armor, right? Just give it away part of it at a time?"

"Yes, that's right, otherwise there would be so many things for these stupid, dirty guys." McNeil's face was full of contempt, "I will continue to send things to that guy named Gao Gaoma tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Make sure

He will kill Gugo now."

"But after he becomes the new Gugo, he may continue to send gifts, these damn greedy guys."

McNeil cursed and went back to the house after dinner with an angry stomach. As soon as it was early morning, he left again to find the giant named Gao Gaoma.

This time, Ike did not stay in the tent, but cast a disillusionment spell on himself, quietly climbed up the mountainside, and monitored the giant tribe.

After waiting for a while, as McNeil said, Hagrid and Maxim were already here. Similarly, they also brought gifts to Gu Ge, talked for a while before leaving, and found a place halfway up the mountain opposite.

Drilled into the cave.

In the evening, McNeil's face looked much better when he came back, and he smiled again.

"Gao Gaoma has promised that he will kill Kakus tomorrow night." McNeil said, "By the way, Kakus is now Gugo's name."

"Is he sure?" Ike asked, "Does Karkus have the sword we gave him?"

"No problem, because I gave Gao Gaoma a big ax." McNeil smiled and showed the size of the ax. Ike also laughed. He saw that the ax was more than three meters long and very big.

"Then we are waiting for Gao Gaoma's action tomorrow night? I secretly saw it today. Hagrid and Maxim sent gifts to Karkus, and they seemed to have a good chat."

"It doesn't matter, Kakus will be finished tomorrow night anyway." McNeil looked relaxed, "Gao Gaoma has already agreed. After becoming Gugo, he will not agree to any proposals from Hagrid and the others, and will only

Let’s talk.”

"Of course, provided we continue to send him gifts... Damn it, the giant is so greedy!"

"The most important thing is to do the things assigned by the teacher well. Gifts and other things are not important." Ike said, "Besides, that set of armor and weapons made by goblins is the collection of the Malfoy family, right?"

"That's right." McNeil looked relaxed and a little proud, "Their family has a lot of good things, and this set of armor is nothing at all!"

"Now, we just need to wait quietly..."
