The Bard at Hogwarts

The Leaky Cauldron.

Ino picked up a half-cup of freshly squeezed grass juice and drank it all, looking at the opposite side with some relief.

"Professor, thank you for this time. Otherwise, they would have given me a warning letter sooner or later."

"It's not that serious." Dumbledore shook his head.

"The awakening of the magic of the little wizard is irresistible. You are not subjectively using magic outside the school, and the Ministry of Magic will not be confused about right and wrong."

"But I received the admission letter from Hogwarts three years ago..." Ino stopped talking halfway.

But he had already expressed the underlying meaning very clearly. If the magic is awakened now, what about the previous three years? This is not explainable at all.

"This can be explained, and it is recorded in history." Dumbledore chuckled:

"Magic is like a carefully painted painting of a thousand-petal daffodil. No matter from which angle you appreciate it, it can show different charm and beauty, and each perspective can bring a new experience."

"So I changed my perspective?" Ino cast a speechless look.

He has always been the riddle teller, but he never thought that one day he would hear other people's riddles.

As if sensing Ino's emotions, Dumbledore did not use metaphors, but said directly:

"What I mean is that no one can explain magic clearly, and no one can understand all of magic."

"Your situation is rare, but not unique. In the long history, there will always be one or two bright stars."

After listening to this straightforward explanation, Ino no longer asked questions.

It is probably just as Dumbledore said, no one can explain magic clearly. Moreover, if magic can really be explained, it may no longer be magic.

Although he no longer traced the origin, he was still concerned about the consequences or benefits of the so-called second awakening of magic.

While Dumbledore had time, Ino also asked about his concerns truthfully.

"There is nothing special, just like the first awakening of the little wizard, the benefit is just to increase your magic power." Dumbledore explained calmly.

Hearing that only magic power increased, Ino shrugged noncommittally. With the existence of the miracle of the shelter, the most abundant thing is the passive growth of magic power.

Although the answer was a bit uninspiring, he was still curious about his own magic standard.

After all, magic is such an illusory concept, and there is probably nothing to compare and refer to except age.

"Professor, what is the approximate level of this increase?" Ino asked tactfully.

The tactful inquiry was met with Dumbledore's straightforwardness.

"Ha, you can duel with Sever now. Of course, the premise is that you have the corresponding duel skills."

Dumbledore blinked gently, with an expression of looking forward to the duel.

"That's my dean!" Ino curled his lips speechlessly.

Although Dumbledore was still as unreliable as ever, he also gave the answer he wanted.

Now his magic power is about the same as Snape.

In a happy mood, Ino asked Old Tom for a glass of grass juice and also ordered a honey lemonade for Dumbledore.

...

Evening, Hogsmeade.

In the empty room, as a fluorescent green flame rose from the fireplace, Ino returned to his cabin again.

Lying alone on the soft bed on the second floor, he reviewed the afternoon chat in his mind.

The staff of the Disaster Department of the Ministry of Magic might not find it, but he didn't believe that Dumbledore didn't notice it.

However, the magical thing is that in the afternoon conversation, the old headmaster didn't mention anything about Boggart.

"If you are not deaf or dumb, you can't be the head of the family..." Lying on the bed, Ino sighed at Dumbledore's wisdom.

It is really better to pretend to be confused about some things than to ask clearly.

After all, most of the time, asking clearly also means distrust, and once distrust arises, many problems will follow.

...

Lying on the soft bed, Ino always felt that there was a revolving lantern in his mind.

All day long, things happened one after another.

At this moment, it suddenly became quiet, and he also remembered to check the changes of Boggart.

When the attention turned to the second perspective, a ball of inky black smoke slowly emerged from the shadow.

Unlike the palm-sized ball before, after absorbing the fear of several people, the Boggart is now at least a circle larger.

If it was like a water cup at the beginning, it is now a small kettle.

Staring at the black smoke floating in the air.

He now has an urge to disperse it from the bottom of his heart, especially in a village like Hogsmeade where wizards gather.

"Fear with magic..." Ino licked his lips gently.

He roughly knew where this impulse came from.

Boggart was originally formed by magic, a ball of conscious fear. Although the consciousness has been erased by the shelter, the instinct is still alive.

The previous Boggart may be too weak to have an impact. But after absorbing the new fear today, the faint desire that comes with the instinct also arises spontaneously.

Faced with this desire in his heart, Ino decisively waved his wand:

"Expecto Patronus!"

The glittering silver clouds appeared again.

...

In the room on the second floor, two clouds of mist, one black and one white, floated quietly.

The two are not only opposite in color, but also in the expression of emotions, they are also extremely opposite.

The patronus represents the joy of harvest, while the boggart represents deep fear.

With the appearance of the patronus, Ino found that the previous impulse also quietly disappeared.

But at the same time, he felt the long-lost throbbing in his heart again, which was a reminder to enter a new story.

He immediately waved the wand again to dispel the magic.

The silver patronus dissipated in the air, and the black boggart merged into the shadow again.

…

The snow-covered shelter.

As the smoke on the main road gradually dissipated, a bustling and bustling town scene slowly unfolded.

Through the picture, it can be clearly seen that the town is in the classical era earlier than the Middle Ages.

Because whether it is the clothes of the pedestrians or the tools of travel, they all illustrate the productivity of this world.

In just a dozen seconds, all the pedestrians in the picture were dressed in gray and white linen, and their tools were only human-powered carts and various simple ox carts.

Ino glanced at the azure blue robe on his body and decisively changed into the clothes he had worn in the merchant town.

A grey coarse linen robe, palm leaf straw sandals, and then he followed the local customs and tied up his suitcase with cloth and carried it on his shoulder.

In his other hand, he held a two-meter-high rowanwood staff. This outfit not only fits the background of the times, but also makes him look like a wandering traveler.

After doing all this, Ino walked slowly into the new story world on the snow.

Xiaodi shares magical creatures today: Ghoul

British Magical Department Classification Level: xx

Appearance characteristics: Ghoul is ugly, but not a particularly dangerous creature. It looks very similar to a man-eating giant monster.

Habits: Ghouls generally live in the attic or barn of wizard families and feed on spiders and moths. Ghouls always groan and occasionally throw things around, but they are actually simple-minded. The worst thing they do is just yell at those who happen to encounter them.

Abilities and Functions: In wizard families, ghouls are often the topic of their after-dinner conversations, and even become pets for the whole family.

Related Knowledge: There are other classifications of ghouls, such as Chameleon Ghouls, which can disguise themselves as everyday items to avoid being discovered. Hermione had read about Chameleon Ghouls in a book, so she thought of this creature when she, Harry, and Ron discussed why the creatures in the Chamber of Secrets had not been discovered for a long time.

The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures has a ghoul ranger team that specializes in driving away ghouls living in Muggle homes.
