The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Quickly extinguishing the flames, Erwin brought the chicken-shaped piece of charcoal in front of Norbert.

The young dragon turned his head away to show that he had dignity.

"It also contains purified dragon blood, and you actually dislike it?" Erwin tried to stuff it into its mouth, but Norberta's eyes flashed with a stubborn light, as if she would rather die than surrender.

In the end, the piece of coke could only be thrown into the campfire.

One chicken was scrapped and the experiment could not be carried out for the time being. Norbert could not really starve.

After returning home this semester, he must ask Professor Stewart to bring back a few pairs of rats from the laboratory. Erwin thought to himself that since Hogwarts allows pets, it should also be allowed to raise a litter of white rats as experimental subjects.

within the scope.

The night gradually deepened, and the evening wind rustled the leaves. Erwin yawned and prepared to sleep in the travel tent. Although it looked like an ordinary tent on the outside, there was a space the size of a standard house inside.

, so even though it was in the wild, Erwin's life was even more comfortable than in Gryffindor Tower.

But suddenly, Norberta screamed alertly.

Animals' perception abilities are generally higher than those of humans. Erwin didn't care at first, but within a few seconds he felt something unusual.

He heard the thump of hooves on the ground and the neighing of horses.

Is it a horse person?

According to Hagrid, the most numerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are centaurs. They are a humanoid intelligent race like goblins, but they are not closely related to human wizards.

Oh, by the way, centaurs are also six-limbed creatures. In a sense, they are quite advanced in biology.

These centaur and half-horse creatures can be said to be half of the owners of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid has previously received permission to set up a camp here. Logically speaking, they should not come to trouble, not to mention that there are invisible inscription sticks inserted around them.

From the perspective of the centaurs, this place should be just a bare open space.

Erwin decided to go out and take a look.

He gestured to Norberta and told her to stay still. Although the young dragon looked a little uneasy, it still sat on the ground with its tail folded up obediently.

The dark forest gave people an eerie feeling, but in Erwin's eyes everything was clear. Among the many potions to strengthen the body, the first one he prepared was the night vision potion, otherwise he would not have been able to see the night vision in the forest.

Take a walk around Gvoz.

He slowly walked out of the range of the invisible inscription stick, and the first thing he saw was the white creature leaning on the tree stump. It looked like a relatively slender white horse, but it had a spiral horn on the top of its head.

This is a unicorn. Although Hagrid has said that there are several living in the Forbidden Forest, this is the first time for Erwin to see this magical creature with his own eyes.

There are many types of magical creatures, but only a few of them conform to human aesthetics. Unicorns are one of them. The mainstream concept of wizard society believes that they represent purity.

But now this beautiful creature was injured, and the injury was quite serious. A large amount of crystal-clear blue blood flowed out, saturating the ground beneath it.

Erwin was a little dazed, but it only lasted less than half a second, because a black shadow suddenly rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

This must be the predator that harmed the unicorn.

The wand was in Erwin's hand, and he pointed at the black shadow without hesitation, activating his natural ability kinetic energy, hoping to exert a counterproductive force on it.

But this only slightly slows down the speed of Sombra. Granting kinetic energy is not actually a very powerful ability. He cannot exert a lot of force unless he is within a very close range of Erwin. At the same time, if the target mass is too large or

If the body possesses magical power, the effect given by kinetic energy will be greatly reduced.

Obviously, the black shadow is also a magical creature, and it is definitely not weak. It can prey on unicorns, and it is conservatively estimated to be twice as powerful as the troll.

Erwin certainly knew the limitations of his abilities. He already had a bright silver revolver in his left hand. He was carrying this weapon with him in the Forbidden Forest.

It took him a long time to determine the fighting method that best utilized his abilities!

A shrill sound broke through the air, and two consecutive shots hit the black shadow's body. The bullets were successfully stopped and it could no longer approach, and the wand in Erwin's right hand also began to wave at the same time.

Shock spell!

The air in front compressed in less than a second, and then exploded. The black shadow as the main target was repulsed, and Erwin also used the force to retreat several meters, creating a sufficient distance.

Next up, the hurricane curse!

The distance meant enough casting time. After a breath, the wind roared, but the strong airflow was only limited to a small area. The black shadow was finally temporarily trapped and had to wrestle with the strong wind.

Quickly inserting the wand back into his waist, Erwin moved his right hand backward. A test tube containing a fountain of power on the experimental equipment rack in the camp immediately flew towards him and fell into his hand. Erwin did not hesitate.

, raised his head and drank it down.

At this time, he finally saw the black shadow clearly. It turned out to be a humanoid creature, but its body was very stiff, lying on all fours, and its face was covered with hair, like a beast.

The familiar burning sensation surged in his stomach, and the dry magic power became full again. Erwin took aim and drove all the remaining four bullets into the opponent's body, and then replaced the new wheel without a moment's hesitation.

This method of reloading is of course much faster than loading one round at a time.

From the beginning of the battle to now, he has not made any mistakes.

Six rounds of bullets were fired from one wheel, but they failed to cause fatal damage to the weird humanoid creature. This may be because they only hit the body.

The effect of the wind spell weakened, and the humanoid beast roared. He was enraged, jumped up, and rushed towards Erwin.

His movements were very twisted, and the six bullets shot into his body were certainly not ineffective. This gave Erwin more time to react.

He raised his head and could vaguely see a face without a nose among the black hair.

He raised the barrel of the gun, flicked the revolver of the pistol with his right hand, and six bullets were fired without interruption, all of which hit the face accurately.

Midnight has arrived!

The humanoid beast let out a dull wail in mid-air, and Erwin summoned up the magic power that bottomed out again within a few seconds, exerting a backward force on himself. He hit the tree behind him with a loud bang, which was painful.

Gritting his teeth and grinning.

This was necessary. He was not sure whether his attack would make the opponent lose combat power, and he did not want to use the armor spell to test the opponent's attack strength. His intuition told him that this monster was very dangerous and it was best not to be touched by it.

The monster fell heavily to the ground. It seemed to be dead for a few seconds, but suddenly it bounced up. Erwin had already replenished his ammunition at this time, but the monster did not pounce on him, but twisted around and submerged.

In the dark.

It ran away.

After being shot six times in the head, it still has such agile mobility. Its ability to withstand blows is already comparable to that of a fire dragon, and it hasn't even shed any blood yet. Of course Erwin will not pursue him. His magic power is now restored.

Bottomed out, not to mention that in this dark forbidden forest that he was completely unfamiliar with, the identities of hunter and prey could change at any time.

To be on the safe side, Erwin drank some more from the Fountain of Power to replenish his magic power. If he had a higher magic power limit, the battle just now wouldn't have been so troublesome. He wouldn't have been disemboweled if he made the slightest mistake.

.

This made him a little more enthusiastic about the idea of ​​transforming into a dragon.

His back hurts a lot, and Erwin probably has a large swelling. This kind of injury healing charm cannot be treated, so he will have to apply some wound ointment later.

After making sure that the monster would not come again, Erwin finally noticed the source of the battle - the unicorn.

It was so seriously injured, but now the bleeding has stopped spontaneously. It has amazing healing ability, but it is still very weak.

Erwin looked at its injuries. Unexpectedly, the unicorn snorted and turned its head away, with a look of disdain in its eyes.

Erwin was stunned. Although unicorns only like to be in contact with pure girls, how can you still show off your face like this?

What's more, if it weren't for me, you would be dead by now.

Beasts are beasts and don't know how to judge the situation. Erwin shook his head, took out his wand and pointed it at the unicorn's head.

Fainted!

He was quite familiar with the coma spell, having learned it from Dipper a long time ago. The seriously injured unicorn had no ability to resist and turned its head and fainted.

Using kinetic energy to empower him, Erwin brought the beast, which weighed almost a ton, into the camp. Norberta looked at it, eager to give it a try.

"This is not edible." Erwin warned it.

The young dragon lowered his head listlessly, but could not conceal his desire to take a sip of blue blood.

Erwin could only put it back in the cage.

He began to examine the unicorn's wounds. There was a bite wound on the neck. It was bloody but not very serious, indicating that the teeth of the animal that bit it were not very good.

But the densely packed wounds on the unicorn's body, old and new, were surprisingly neat, and they didn't look like they were caused by sharp claws.

This is a little strange.

…

At the same time, deep in the Forbidden Forest.

Quirinus Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, looked miserable. He had two faces, one was his own, and the other was the noseless face on the back of his head.

It's so deformed and terrifying.

Both faces were screaming in pain, and the ghost-like screams echoed in the forest.

There were six single black holes on the noseless face. As it cried out in pain, twisted bullets were squeezed out one after another. Then the bullet holes slowly healed, and the face became increasingly distorted and pale.

Not a drop of blood was shed during the entire process.

Obviously, this Hogwarts professor no longer has a human body structure, and the other faculty and staff in the school know nothing about it.

"Kill him...kill him..." The whisper was like a snake hissing, with smoldering malice and anger.

"As you command...Master...as you command..." Quirrell repeated mechanically, as humble as dust.
