The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"You may be the first wizard to win a duel with your fists."

Virginio said to Erwin at breakfast the next day.

"Although I've said it once, I still have to say, it was a beautiful punch." Ogg raised his glass to Erwin.

What he is drinking is a purple-black drink, which should be made from certain grapes and magic spices. Wizards here in the United States don't like to drink pumpkin juice.

"Is your spellcasting ability really that bad?" Viktor Krum looked at Erwin with suspicious eyes.

Their understanding of him was limited to the initial demonstration of his abilities. Erwin showed control over objects with his mind and a certain level of magical alchemy, but he did not demonstrate his ability to cast spells.

"I'm not good at aiming either." A plain voice said.

It's Lyudmila.

There was silence, and even Viktor Krum felt a little speechless. With how ferocious this girl was, there was really no need to take aim.

Lyudmila was willing to have breakfast with them, which showed that this girl from the north was not as close to strangers as everyone initially thought. She seemed to have locked herself in the room for other reasons.

"If you don't pretend like that, how can you hit Carlius in the nose?" Erwin shrugged.

"I'll just say it." Virginio laughed.

Erwin has become a "good brother" in his eyes.

"I almost forgot." Angela said to Erwin after breakfast: "There is your letter over there in the messenger room. You need to pick it up yourself."

Like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny also has its own school messenger bird, which is kept in a shed called the Messenger Room.

It took Erwin more than ten minutes to get his letter. The sending address was naturally England, and it was from Melanie.

The UK is a small island country. In this relatively small area, it is not impossible to use owls to meet the needs of information transmission. It is relatively convenient and fast.

But when it comes to intercontinental long-distance communications, conventional letter methods immediately seem exaggerated, usually with delays of at least one day.

This letter is considered a routine report. In addition to briefly talking about what happened at Hogwarts this week, Melanie mainly talked about one thing, that is, the Ministry of Magic allowed Dementors to enter Hogwarts. This

It caused quite a bit of panic among the students.

Especially classmate Harry, the stress reaction is quite serious.

Strictly speaking, Hogwarts is not a public school, but there is no doubt that the Ministry of Magic is the largest school director, and even Dumbledore is inconvenient to directly refuse the Ministry of Magic's instructions without reason.

This is an opportunity to expand the influence of the Muggle Fellowship. Dementors can bring fear and despair, but only specific spells can be used to drive them away, and stabilizing the effect of a single simple magic can be said to be the most basic.

Application of magic text knowledge.

Erwin plans to make some badges for the Constant Patronus Spell. There is no need to summon a specific patron animal. It only needs to shine a little light to have an expulsion effect on the dementors. The badges will have the logo of the hometown association printed on them.

This kind of badge will be given to every Muggle-born student, regardless of whether they join the Hometown Association or not. Anyway, this thing has low technical content and can be mass-produced in Flamel's hut.

Having made up his mind, Erwin quickly wrote a reply.

Although he may not be able to return to Hogwarts this year, this does not hinder him from exerting his influence.

Melanie, a dependent who doesn't have to worry about loyalty, is very valuable. Hermione still lacks the ability to stand alone, and often has to stick to her own ideas and is moved by it.

After writing the reply, Erwin went back to join the others, and everyone headed to the location designated by Professor Suuene. The project was finally about to begin.

Most of the Ilvermorny students they met along the way looked at them a little strangely, but of course most of them mainly stared at Erwin.

In the past, it was Klum who attracted much attention as a well-known star, but now it is Irvine's turn.

He directly defeated the "Pride of Ilvermorny" yesterday.

"It is said that Canelius's front teeth were knocked out..."

"Even August, the strongest among us, was defeated in this way. Should everyone just throw away their wands and just box in future duels..."

Various whispers came.

Trouble soon came to the door. A tall boy with curly hair deliberately stood in front of Erwin. "I challenge you." He said roughly.

Erwin was not surprised. His deliberate performance yesterday would definitely make some idiots think that he could be defeated easily, and he defeated Carlius, which means he defeated this "idiot" who was not aiming well.

"Bi" is to do what even Carlius could not do.

Obviously, in their eyes, Erwin is a prestige package.

"If you want to challenge me, it will cost you one hundred galleons, or you can use items of equal value." Erwin said calmly.

The common currency in the wizarding world in the United States is also the Gallon Siknut system. Although it feels very convenient, it can be seen from this that the goblin Gringotts no longer only controls the finance of Magical Britain.

But at least for now, Erwin is no longer very concerned about this.

"What?" The boy was stunned.

"You will gain a lot by challenging me, but I will get nothing, so why should I agree?" Erwin asked.

"Are you scared?"

Erwin glanced at him coldly, walked around him and continued walking forward.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai, don't go!" the stupid young man shouted quickly. He thought for a moment and then felt that Erwin seemed to be right. Who would be willing to fight if there is no benefit?

The method of provoking the general will not work, because the opponent also directly provokes Carlius when facing him, so it is impossible to be afraid of him.

"But it's too expensive." He said angrily.

"I didn't force you to challenge me." Erwin didn't look back.

"Just wait for me, and I'll collect the money right away." The stunned Qingyi gritted his teeth, "I'm Patrick Osim, remember my name!" He shouted at Erwin's back.

"You need to collect the money first," Erwin replied.

It was a long journey from their lounge to the place designated by Professor Suuene. In just ten minutes, Erwin met four challengers in succession.

Erwin treated everyone equally and asked them to pay first and then discuss the duel.

It seems that these young wizards who are confident in themselves come from aristocratic families, and a hundred galleons is nothing to them, yet they all agreed.

Everyone has classes during the day, so we decided to go to the Duel Summit together in the evening.

"This money is so profitable." Virginio grinned.

"It's a pity that this business can't be done a few times." Erwin said.

No matter how clumsy you are, if you only win but don't lose, your problem will be seen. There are no absolute fools in this world.

"Is all this in your plan?" Angela looked at Erwin in surprise.

"Of course not. The price is just to set a threshold to prevent endless challenges. Of course, if someone is willing to give money, I will not refuse." Erwin shrugged.

They went down the stairs directly to the bottom floor, and then passed through two secret doors and a miniature maze before finally reaching their destination.

Everyone else was familiar with the route, but Erwin was out a few days ago so he didn't know the way.

The destination is a spacious underground space, similar to the secret room in Hogwarts, hidden and spacious without transmitting movement to the outside.

Carlius Augustus had already arrived first, and his expression was very ugly, especially after seeing Erwin.

Yesterday, Erwin used a lot of force in his punch, and his original intention was to ensure that the opponent was shocked. However, unlike the rumors, Carlius did not lose his front teeth, but broke his nose.

With the level of medical treatment in the magical world, it is easy to treat such a degree of trauma. Carlius has naturally recovered by this time, but the psychological trauma is not easy to heal.

"The victory you achieved by using despicable means is also a victory, and I will not deny it." He snorted coldly at Erwin, "But just relying on despicable means is nothing more than that."

"Thank you for reminding me, but I think it's not that my behavior is despicable, but that you are being stupid." Erwin retorted.

Virginio laughed undisguisedly.

Carlius was speechless, he had nothing to say, because in retrospect he felt that he was extremely stupid.

This Erwin was obviously acting at the time. The basis for this conclusion was that the opponent was almost proficient in armor spells. How could someone with such magical control have such poor accuracy?

Obviously he was being tricked. But why didn't he see it at the time? And when the opponent rushed over, he only needed to dodge or give himself an acceleration magic to avoid it. Why was the first reaction to attack?

Carlius could only blame himself for being stupid.

A tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness in the corner, a faint light reflecting on the monocle.

"So, everyone is here." Professor Suouene said slowly.

"Yes, Professor." Carlius replied.

The gaze behind the monocle swept across them all, "Have you decided who will be my assistant?"

Erwin took a step forward, his expression as usual.

Professor Suouene said "ha" with no meaning, "Hogwarts boy."

He paused, and then continued in a deep voice: "Before we start, I hope you have a clear idea of ​​the topic you are about to start. This research is of great significance, and is even related to the overall development of wizards. Your teacher

Bringing you here not only allows you to gain benefits, but you are also pioneers."

This topic seemed a bit heavy, and the boys and girls from all over the country looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Professor Suouene seemed quite satisfied with their reaction, "So before we officially start, I need to make a contract with you." He said.
