The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"What's wrong with you?" Erwin immediately withdrew his hand.

This is too weird.

Melanie stood up, looking a little aggrieved.

"Also, when did I become the so-called Platinum King?"

"The colors are all the same anyway, so calling it platinum doesn't make it more powerful than silver." Melanie gave a very reasonable explanation.

There seems to be no problem.

"Don't call me that in the future! You're not allowed to call me king!" Erwin said with a serious face.

Titles like king would be too ridiculous if it were self-proclaimed.

"Okay, Master."

This gentle voice is enough to melt any heart of stone.

Erwin looked at her, "Have you recovered from your injuries now?"

"Yes, the power you gave me is wonderful."

When vampires suck blood, they are digesting the magic power contained in it. Melanie can naturally recover from her injuries through the magic power given by Erwin.

Melanie stretched out her white palm at this time and said, "Can you lend me your wand, my dear master?"

Erwin glanced at her with some confusion, but still gave it to her. Now there is no possibility of Melanie's betrayal, not to mention that Dumbledore is also here, and safety is absolutely guaranteed.

Melanie held the wand and waved it lightly, and a stream of silver-white flames shot out from between the wands.

It was the kind of flame Erwin used when he resonated with "Novin" before. Of course, what Melanie summoned could only be regarded as a small fireball.

She looked at Erwin with a smile, with an arrogant air of "Look how awesome I am."

Erwin's pupils shrank and he was a little surprised. This flame was really nothing, but it showed that Melanie could now use the wand.

Normal vampires do not have the ability to use wands. This is the price that must be paid for transforming from humans to vampires. Their fighting methods are very different from human wizards. Melanie could only use some inferior tricks to disguise herself before.

Being a freshman is a bit reluctant.

But now she can use magic normally.

"The power of 'Norwin' gave you magical abilities? Did it change your physique?"

Melanie nodded, "I may not be a vampire now, at least not completely."

"Can you still use blood magic?" Erwin asked.

Melanie answered with practical actions. A black-red substance like colloid seeped out from the fair skin of her arm, and solidified into a long blade in her hand, with a strange light shining at the tip.

This black-red substance can change its physical properties at will under Melanie's control. It is derived from the differentiation, proliferation, and transformation of her blood. It was also her main fighting method before.

In other words, while retaining the strength of the Vampire Countess, she has the ability to use magic, and some specific magic, such as summoning flames, will exhibit the characteristics of "Novin".

She has now evolved into a more advanced species than a mere vampire.

Becoming Erwin's dependent...she has indeed benefited greatly.

"It's a good thing to have the ability to control magic. You can bring a lot of help to Erwin." Dumbledore also nodded slightly at this time, "You need to practice, you can continue to stay at Hogwarts to learn your magic.

Ability, Hogwarts is the cradle of nurturing wizards, and it does not care about the origin of its students."

Now Melanie can legitimately continue studying at Hogwarts.

Erwin originally thought that since Melanie had regained her original fighting strength and had a family contract to ensure her loyalty, would it be a bit overkill to keep her in Hogwarts? Maybe she could be used elsewhere.

…

But after Dumbledore spoke, he gave up the idea. Melanie also needed to learn to improve her magical power, not to mention that she would not be at Hogwarts in the next school year. Hermione was just a young and energetic person.

The little girl. Both the Muggle Hometown and the Embers, who are still only in concept, are counting on Melanie.

Now that she can learn magic, she can perfectly integrate into Hogwarts without being discovered.

Melanie, who masters both blood magic and orthodox magic, should be able to suppress a wizard of the level of a Hogwarts professor, right?

Of course, this is just a guess. Maybe we can only know the result by letting Melanie and Snape fight.

"Can you still turn into a girl form now?" Erwin asked.

"Of course." Melanie responded briskly.

The most important ability of blood magic is to control one's own body. Of course, changing age and body shape is not an issue.

"Now that Miss Melanie is fine, Erwin, I should also fulfill my obligations as your teacher. I'm really ashamed that I haven't taught you anything useful in the past two years." Dumbledore said at this time.

Erwin immediately cheered up, receiving the teachings from Britain's most powerful wizard!

Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I can't give you much help about your own bloodline, but I can give you some advice on the apparation you are practicing..."

Erwin nodded repeatedly.

I don’t know how long this lecture lasted. It seemed difficult to feel the loss of time in this subspace without clocks.

Erwin benefited a lot, and Dumbledore was also very satisfied. This is the type of student that all teachers would be satisfied with. He is smart, serious, and can understand everything from one case to another.

Of course, it was impossible to complete his studies directly with just one lecture, so Erwin took a lot of notes.

"I'm sorry, kid, I can't spare more time to guide you." Dumbledore apologized.

"You've done enough for me." Erwin said sincerely.

"I may not be able to send you to Ilvermorny in person in a month. You will need to leave on your own."

"Understood." Erwin said.

If he wants to go to the United States now, he still has to take a plane, but it won't take long.

Dumbledore took out a letter and badge. Like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny also has four animals on its badge.

"Massachusetts, Mount Greylock. Just go there and someone will receive you."

Erwin nodded.

"Okay, now it's time to send you back."

Dumbledore suddenly thought of something, and looked at Erwin encouragingly, "Do you have the courage to just apparate home?"

"My ability should not be enough to teleport directly from Romania back to England." Erwin said hesitantly.

He is just a beginner, and apparating is dangerous. Generally speaking, the longer the distance, the greater the risk.

Most wizards only disapparate within the country.

"You should be cautious when apparating over long distances, but if you take subspace as the starting point and end point, the spatial distance in a realistic sense will not exist," Dumbledore said.

Erwin was stunned and nodded randomly, "I understand."

Dumbledore began to use his wand to draw the golden thread he used for teleportation, while Erwin stood aside, calming his mind and preparing to apparate. He began to outline his own scene in Frost Manor in his mind.

The view of the room.

The feeling of teleportation was uncomfortable, but Erwin was able to endure it. This may be due to his physical fitness. Although his physical fitness was not specially strengthened, it was already higher than the average centaur.

Any advanced wizard should get used to the discomfort of Apparating.

When his vision and hearing returned to normal, Erwin was already in his room and had successfully apparated.

Erwin thought about it for a while. Since he takes subspace as the starting point or focus and does not need to consider the restrictions on teleportation due to actual spatial distance, doesn't it mean that using that subspace as a transfer station, he can safely teleport to any place on the earth?

?

Of course, the premise is that the "teleport point" has been opened.

Unless they are the top beings, ordinary wizards are not capable of intercontinental teleportation, but Erwin can do it directly by using the subspace.

Very good, very good.

When I walked into the courtyard, I found that Melanie had also been teleported back, but Dumbledore was nowhere to be seen.

The principal probably didn't teleport back here.

"Owner……"

"Don't call me master in the future, especially in front of others." Erwin had a headache.

You can predict with your toes that this title will cause trouble. This is a society that has established a perfect order and advocates freedom!

"Then can I call you that when no one is around?" Melanie covered her mouth.

"This is up to you," Erwin said.

"Then I'll just call you Erwin like before." Melanie said.

She looked a little resentful on the surface, but actually she was secretly happy on the inside.

After all, the dependents are the first class, but if it is the mistress...

This is the first step.

The summer vacation continued, and when Riddle regained his sense of the outside world, he was very surprised by Erwin's progress in Apparition.

"You just had a lesson with Dumbledore?" He was in disbelief.

"That's right." Erwin said.

Riddle was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment. He had to admit that Dumbledore was a much better teacher than him.

Of course, it was more because Erwin had complete trust in Dumbledore, but Riddle was always wary of him.

Because of the almost endless magic power brought by his own blood, Erwin can always maintain high-intensity training, and his learning and understanding abilities are quite good, so after only a week, he was able to use apparation silently.

Teleportation now only requires the correct casting action.

If it is just for daily life, this level of apparation is more than enough, but if it is used for combat, it is not enough.

Disapparation itself also requires a spellcasting action, so it is impossible to release offensive or defensive magic immediately after teleportation, nor is it possible to continuously disapparate without interruption, which is very fatal in high-end duels.

Gilderoy Lockhart sent a letter to Erwin at this time. This guy was very self-aware and immediately resigned from his position as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Being able to survive safely for a year was actually complete.

It exceeded his expectations.

He sent Erwin his latest book, "My Year as a Professor at Hogwarts."

The book mainly tells how he helped more than a dozen students solve various problems and gained their love. It focuses on describing the psychological problems of Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, and ends with a tearful story.

The writing records how Harry felt the warmth of a "father" in Lockhart.

It cannot be said that the content of the book has no connection with what actually happened. It can only be said that there is no similarity at all - except for the name.

Lockhart expressed his apology in very awkward terms in the letter. Erwin understood Lockhart's intention in writing this letter after a little guessing, because he also included Erwin's name in the book.

.

In Lockhart's book, Erwin is a talented and rebellious genius student who treats all professors with contempt, but only looks at Lockhart in a different light, and is finally impressed by his charm.

Received guidance on life.

"I hope you can understand that this is an artistic process..." Lockhart said in a low voice in the letter.

Erwin thought it was quite funny and didn't bother to think about it.

In mid-August, Professors Erwin and Stewart went to the airport to greet the Granger family who had returned from their trip.

Mrs. Granger and Hermione both had tanned skin, which was a bonus of summer travel, but Mr. Granger's skin was still as fair as before.

"He got a sunburn," Mrs. Granger told her father, suppressing a smile. "The Weasleys kindly gave him a special ointment. After applying it, although the sunburn was cured, no matter how much sun he exposed to it, his

There will be no change in skin color."

Mr. Granger looked quite embarrassed.

They brought gifts to Erwin, Melanie and Professor Stewart. Erwin's was an expensive sphinx, Melanie's was an exquisite ornament, and Professor Stewart's was an unfinished sword.

Decorated scimitar from Kaifeng.

"Although the Weasley family is very kind, they are unwilling to help us buy some wizard gadgets, even in the name of Hermione." Mr. Granger was quite resentful.

On the way home and in the days after arriving home, Hermione excitedly chatted with Erwin about what she had seen and heard in Egypt.

"Did you know that the Sphinx is real..."

"I thought you should know that there are at least twenty kinds of magical animals with human faces and animal bodies." Erwin yawned, "For example, the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest."

But such words could not extinguish Hermione's enthusiasm. She also told Erwin that in fact, most pharaohs knew magic, and the pyramids that Muggles thought were miracles were actually their work.

Erwin listened quite casually, it was just a trip, how could a little girl make any very amazing discoveries.

Now that Hermione is back, it seems that Erwin can no longer live in Frost Manor, but the renovation of the classic car has reached the final stage, which is a bit embarrassing.

Unless he confessed his identity to the Grangers, but that wouldn't be appropriate after keeping it secret for so long.

What if Hermione's temper got the better of her and she angrily refused to maintain the Muggle Fellowship?

But it's not without a solution. The Apparition you just learned can come in handy. It only takes a few seconds to go from Professor Stewart's house to Frost Manor or back.

Magic is really convenient.

Just be careful not to let Hermione see him Disapparate.
