The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

A few days later, Savile came specifically to express his gratitude to Erwin and Melanie. He had clearly felt the change in magic power. Although it was not much, it was useful.

He has an idea of ​​how valuable potions that can directly increase magic power are.

If you receive favors from others, you must repay them. Now he has no doubts about joining the hometown association.

"This medicine can be taken multiple times to produce effects, but it will take half a year for your body to withstand the effects of the second bottle," Erwin said.

This is simply painting a cake, an essential skill for leaders.

Savile nodded.

No one in this world is absolutely independent and free. As long as the benefits are sufficient, being in a dominated position is not an unbearable thing.

Next, it officially enters exam week.

In lower-grade exams, the written test accounts for most of the scores. As long as you are willing to memorize, it is basically impossible to get ugly scores.

After all, generally speaking, the talents of young wizards at this age have just begun to develop, and it is not appropriate to use scores to distinguish them prematurely.

The friendship between teachers and students can also come into play at this time. In fact, professors do not want students to repeat a grade under their supervision, because that will make the professors very incompetent.

All in all, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, when all the examination subjects were completed and the results were announced, no unlucky person failed and repeated the grade.

Ron was very relieved, long live sixty.

For Harry, Ron and other Hogwarts students, this school year has been calm and peaceful. The rumors about the Chamber of Secrets are like weird legends from the last century that no one remembers anymore.

.

Huh? Shouldn't this be normal? Why does it feel strange? Is this year at Hogwarts supposed to be very exciting?

During the year-end banquet, the auditorium was filled with gold and red decorations, and the Gryffindor students cheered for winning the House Cup.

Erwin did not contribute much to this Academy Cup. Since he rarely went to class, his bonus points were zero.

In fact, the champion should have been Slytherin. Thanks to Professor Snape’s unremitting efforts for months, Gryffindor’s points for winning all four Quidditch games were not enough, and the final total points were higher than those of Slytherin.

Thirty points lower.

However, just the day before the year-end banquet, Hogwarts suddenly held a review event of this year's Quidditch League, and selected the best player of the year. Without any suspense, it was Potter who caught all four Golden Snitches without missing a single one.

classmate.

The award for the best player of the year is fifty points.

During the awarding process, Snape neither stopped nor made any comments, indicating that holding this Quidditch review event was the intention of his superiors. Who else could it be besides Dumbledore?

Erwin has seen Gryffindor-style cheating. I heard that it was the same last year. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were given more than a hundred points in the name of passing the trial, even though they couldn't actually defend the Philosopher's Stone.

Does it really help?

But there is nothing to blame. The rules of the House Cup points are inherently unreasonable and unfair. Professor Snape can deduct points from Gryffindor for various reasons. Then other professors will find ways to give points to Gryffindor.

If you add more points, he has nothing to say.

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are also very happy. It seems that they don't want Slytherin to win the championship. I have to say that the Slytherin students of this era are really outstanding. They can actually be defeated by all other students.

Exclusion from three colleges.

With four Golden Snitches and the Player of the Year award, Harry alone scored 650 points for Gryffindor, so he was undoubtedly the core figure at the banquet, and every Gryffindor student

Raise a glass to him and send your sincere blessings.

Classmate Potter's face was filled with a sincere, silly smile.

Erwin had a vague feeling that Dumbledore's "partiality" towards Harry was meant to show him the beauty of the wizarding world, and seemed to enhance his sense of belonging to the wizarding world.

After all, Harry grew up in a conventional society, and it was said that his aunt and uncle were not kind to him.

Naturally, the last meal of the school year was very sumptuous. The students ate it to their heart's content, and Ron's gray-haired mouse ate very happily.

It is one of the few pets that can eat directly with the students.

A year has passed and the rodent appears to have changed little.

Maybe he was fed some kind of special life-extending potion, or even an Animagus... Nothing is impossible, this is a magical world.

But it was Ron's pet after all, and even if it had any peculiarities, it was the Weasley family's business, and Erwin wouldn't meddle in his own business. After dinner, on the way back to Gryffindor Tower, Weasley

Brother Sly grabbed Erwin and gave him a jingling money bag.

"Dividends for this school year." George winked at him.

Erwin was about to find them, so he took out the Marauder's Map and handed it to them. At the same time, he briefly mentioned that he would not be at Hogwarts next school year.

"This map can only be used inside the castle, so I won't take it away. You can continue to use that suitcase."

The two brothers looked at each other and said, "That's true, but according to the rules we can't take it back. This is a mortgage after all." George said.

"Since we have started doing business, we will act according to the rules of doing business." Fred added.

Seeing that this was indeed their idea, Erwin stopped insisting.

After the Weasley brothers left, Erwin opened the purse. It was mostly filled with silver coins, but there were also a few touches of gold.

After counting, there are a total of fifteen or six galleons.

Erwin remembered that he received a 20% dividend, which showed that the business of Weasley's canteen was quite good.

Returning to the Gryffindor lounge, I found Hermione and asked, "Are you going back by train tomorrow, or are you coming with me?"

"How else can you go back besides taking the train?" Hermione was confused.

"It's hard to say. You'll know when the time comes."

The next morning, everyone started packing their things. Just like when they came to school, the Hogwarts Express left at eleven o'clock.

Erwin noticed that the first-year students were asked to assemble and then led out.

"What is this?" Erwin asked.

"Tracking wires were applied to monitor whether the little wizards used magic outside of school." Hermione was a little confused. "We last year... Oh, I almost forgot, you were not in school during the finals last year."

Yes, placing traces on young wizards is part of the Statute of Secrecy.

Not long after, Professor McGonagall came over and called Erwin's name.

"Mr. Frost, you have to come with me."

Erwin shrugged, as expected, he was sure that something had slipped through the net.

They came to a room next to the auditorium. Inside was a formally dressed wizard. "Which one was this that was missed last year?" He looked at Erwin.

"That's right." Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Hello, kid." The wizard smiled kindly at Erwin, "I am Wolfgang Atzer, I belong to the Ministry of Magic's team for reversing accidental magical events. I am going to cast a harmless magic on you.

Don't worry about the curse, it won't have any impact on you, it's mainly to protect you."

He raised the wand, and Erwin felt uncomfortable. To be honest, he was already subconsciously feeling uneasy when the wand was pointed at him.

This is also a normal reaction that all wizards will have.

Wolfgang recited an obscure incantation, and Erwin felt something strange, but couldn't explain it. Wolfgang looked at a small compass-like instrument in his hand and nodded slightly.

"It's done, you can go, kid. I wish you a happy holiday."

"How do you feel?" Riddle suddenly asked after walking out of the room.

"Ordinary little wizards should not be able to sense the existence of the so-called 'trace silk' at all. It even feels like a curse spell, which is secret and not suitable for removal." Erwin said.

"Yes, the feeling is very keen. The trace silk spell does use some curse techniques. The main function is to allow the little wizards to be sensed by their detectors when using magic... It is like an invisible dog tag. Only

You are not allowed to leave school until you wear one. Those at the Ministry of Magic want all wizards to wear dog tags like this."

"There should be a direct way to eliminate it?"

"Of course, trace silk will become ineffective when you reach adulthood, and the judgment condition is not only age, but also powerful enough magic power. I have already eliminated trace silk alone when I was your age."

"Can you do it at my age? Then I won't ask you what to do. I'll try it myself." Erwin smiled faintly.

Of course he is also arrogant.

Walking directly to the lake, Erwin raised his wand, pointed it at the lake, and used his most familiar kinetic energy-granting ability. The water flow rose up under the influence of invisible force and condensed into a water ball in mid-air.

It is more difficult to exert mechanical effects on liquids than on solids, and it consumes more magic power. The water ball is expanding to a diameter of ten meters, but Erwin still feels that he can do it with ease.

Although he has never actively exercised, the total amount and intensity of his magic power are still growing at a high rate, and are now basically comparable to those of adult wizards evaluated by elites.

Of course, adult wizards evaluated by elites can only maintain this kind of water ball for half a minute at most, but Erwin... he basically doesn't need to consider consumption.

And under the impact of this magic output, the trace thread that had just been applied to Erwin was immediately broken.

"Has your magic level reached this level?" Riddle's mood was full of surprise. "Actually, I wanted to tell you that you only need a counter-spell that is not very complicated..."

Erwin did not answer and lifted the maintenance of the water polo.

This size of water polo doesn't look very big, but its actual weight has reached hundreds of tons. When it merges into the lake water, with a loud noise, the lake surface immediately sinks, and then gathers and bulges, forming large waves that spread around.

.

A group of heads popped out of the water, hissing angrily.

"It's the mermaid in the lake...the noise was too loud." Riddle said, "The big squid was also disturbed."

On the other side, there were several giant tentacles protruding from the bottom of the water. They were said to be giant, but in fact they were only a little thicker than Erwin's waist. Looking at them, it was still more reminiscent of food.

Erwin immediately cast the four stealth spells on himself and left quietly.

As expected, practicing the stealth spell at the beginning is the wisest choice, as it is convenient for everything.

Returning to the dormitory to pack his things. After lending the suitcase with the seamless extension inside to the Weasley brothers, Erwin ordered another small suitcase. The benefits of buying a big owl became apparent at this time.

It can complete the transportation work alone, and Erwin does not need to spend extra money to rent other owls.

The new suitcase is just the most common style, because its main function is to hide from others. With the self-folding Flamen cabin, Erwin is actually carrying everything he needs.

After that, we went to the station with everyone, and the little wizards told each other their farewell feelings.

"Do you need me to send you a new issue of "The Quibbler" every month?" Luna asked, with a light in her eyes.

"Well, yes, I will pay for the subscription." Erwin said.

Just make a good relationship.

"No, I'm treating you!" Luna grinned broadly.

Heinrich Saville also came to express his thanks to Erwin.

On the other side, Harry was reluctant to leave with Ron and Hermione.

"Please write to me!" Potter said in an almost begging tone, "You can also call! Hermione, do you know my uncle's phone number? Ron, I should have told your father how to use it last year.

Muggle phone number..."

"You can come to my house during the summer vacation." Ron and Hermione said, and he paused, "You can stay with Erwin."

Yes, even though Erwin-san feels a bit maverick, he is also a good brother!

It was almost eleven o'clock, and students were getting on the bus one after another. When there were not many people on the platform, Erwin looked at Hermione and said, "Let's go."

They walked in the opposite direction of the train.

When the whistle sounded behind her, indicating that the train had started, Hermione suddenly felt that she was crazy for choosing to go with Erwin.

Their destination was Hagrid's hut. In front of the hut was an old car, with Hagrid standing beside it.

It was certainly a strange thing to see a Muggle car within the confines of Hogwarts. Hermione opened her mouth wide, but quickly realized, "This is not the car that Harry and Ron drove to school."

That one?"

"That's right." Erwin nodded.

Originally, the old car was supposed to be left at Hogwarts, but it was only halfway through its modifications. We were going to Ilvermorny next school year, so we simply drove it back to complete the rest of the modifications.

"We're going to take this car home?"

"Yes."

"When did this become yours?"

"The Weasleys sold it to me."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, as if she had nothing to ask.

"But is this appropriate? Harry and Ron were almost kicked out of school because of this car when they started school."

"As long as you remain invisible and not seen by Muggles, there will be no problem."

"You must be careful," Brother Hai warned with some worry: "It's best not to land in an uneven place, and don't fly too high, otherwise it may hit a large Muggle aircraft..."
