The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Unless it is an omniscient and omnipotent God, it will be difficult for an individual, no matter how powerful it is, to replace the role of the group.

Even Voldemort, who is still feared today, still needed Death Eaters as his minions. In fact, Erwin doubted whether he really supported the so-called pure bloodism, because any wizard with some cognition would understand this.

How ridiculous the theory is.

Only those who come from so-called pure-blood families, out of self-interest, will continue to promote this theory to prove their nobility.

Erwin believed that the Dark Lord was probably just looking for an excuse to use the theory of pure blood to gain support from those pure-blood families, so that he could gather some people to fight against others, and finally achieve his goal of controlling the entire magical world.

All rule is based on people, so it is necessary for Erwin to start thinking about how to unite more people around him from now on.

Melanie looked at the boy in front of her with a smile.

If she has no complaints about her current situation, it is obviously impossible. Countess Melanie Dracula, who was influential in Romania, is now trapped in this small school under the control of others, and is forced to play the role of the future.

As an adult girl, it is difficult for anyone to accept such a psychological gap.

The older the vampire, the more powerful it is, but it will require a longer sleep. Melanie's level is almost the ceiling among the currently awakened vampires. She could have completed her shift in another five or six years and entered her third cycle.

sleep.

But now her strength has plummeted, and she can't even do anything to a teenage boy, and she still has to negotiate terms with him.

But on the other hand, she knew a secret related to the source of extraordinary power in this world. She knew that the little kid in front of her had an incredible origin bloodline, and he seemed to have been inherited by a top alchemy master.

This is a rising star.

Even though Melanie is now free, she doesn't want to leave.

Isn't the essential pursuit of the vampires more power, longer lifespan, and more powerful strength? But now, isn't there a super bloodline in front of us? These three requirements seem to be fulfilled by him.

And if she returns to Romania, with her current strength, she will not be able to maintain her original status. Being squeezed out is inevitable, and she is very likely to be killed or enslaved. The vampires are very purely profit-oriented and bully the weak and fear the strong.

On the contrary, in this Hogwarts school, she is safe for the time being.

As long as she can show her worth.

People always have to start from reality.

This little kid has a lot of strange ideas. You might as well play with him. Don't look at him always being on guard. As long as you show that you are sincerely good for him and last long enough, you will definitely let him.

Relax your vigilance.

A female companion who is beautiful, intelligent, obedient, considerate, and proactive enough is impossible for young boys to refuse.

How could a teenage brat be able to play with her?

snort!

"Okay, you can go." Erwin dismissed her at this time.

He completely regarded her as someone who could come and go at a moment's notice.

Although there was a hint of sullenness in her heart, Melanie still smiled and said, "Okay."

One day later, Erwin noticed that Melanie was still working with other girls to exclude Ginny, putting great mental pressure on her. Although Ron was angry, he could do nothing about this kind of soft campus bullying.

"Although she has been refusing to show the diary, she can't hold it anymore," Melanie told Erwin.

"I have been at school these two days. If she has any abnormal reaction... let me know immediately." Erwin said.

Although this method seems a bit unethical, this little girl does have a dark secret.

At noon, Hagrid sent a message saying that the centaurs had agreed to participate in the "hunt".

The hunting object is that car. Erwin and Hagrid planned this matter a week ago. According to Ron, the car at least has the functions of flight and invisibility, and seems to have a certain degree of self-awareness.

Very valuable.

Otherwise, why would Erwin give the Weasley family five hundred galleons as the cost of "buying" it? Of course, this money is now kept by Percy.

When Erwin arrived at Hagrid's hut, there were already two guests here, two burly centaurs, one with black hair and the other with reddish brown hair.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time Erwin has seen centaurs. They are more... "hairy" than he imagined. Both the horse's body and the human body are hairy.

The centaur is also a six-limbed animal, but from a physiological structure, it is even more unreasonable than the six-limbed primitive dragon. After all, the primitive dragon essentially just has an extra pair of wings, while the centaur is equivalent to adding a human abdominal cavity.

And the above parts are installed on the head of a horse, which means that they have at least two sets of digestive system and reproductive system.

Then there are some strange questions. For example, since there are both human and horse mammary glands, which part do horse people use for breastfeeding?

But having said that, although centaurs are one of the only three humanoid intelligent races left in the UK, their presence is still very weak. Many Hogwarts students have never seen them until graduation.

The current era is the human era, and the centaurs can enjoy a certain range of habitats and barely coexist peacefully with human wizards. This shows at least three points. First, they have a certain strength, and second, they will not take the initiative to attack humans.

, and thirdly, they don’t have any body parts that can be used as advanced magic materials.

The two centaurs were completely unaware that Erwin had so many thoughts when he first met them.

The black centaur looked at Erwin and sniffed with disdain, "This is the person you said could deal with that mechanical monster... that 'car', Hagrid? A child?"

It seems that cars are a difficult concept for horse people to understand.

"That...he should be able to do it," Hagrid said.

In fact, he himself was not sure.

"I have received authorization from Professor Dumbledore, and he has given me full authority to handle this matter," Erwin said.

Most of the time, using the name of the principal works, and this time was no exception. The centaur looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Hagrid.

"Ah, yes, Erwin was personally taught by Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid said helpfully.

Although he wasn't actually sure about this, he couldn't dismantle Erwin. Hagrid was still very loyal.

This centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest is actually protected by Hogwarts to a certain extent, so they also maintain a considerable degree of respect for Dumbledore.

So the two centaurs no longer had any doubts for the time being.

Erwin unfolded a large roll of parchment he carried with him, and several quills that could automatically emit ink flew in the air under his control. In less than half a minute, they collaboratively drew a picture of Hogwarts and its surroundings.

A simple map of the neighborhood.

Of course he can draw it in advance, but it is necessary to show it in front of the centaurs. They now understand that Erwin has quite good control over magic.

"Hagrid told me that because it had received a severe beating, the car was very afraid of the Whomping Willow. If you drive it in the direction of the Whomping Willow, it will only choose this path.

.”

Erwin pointed to a blank area on the map.

"I'll lay a trap there, a giant pit."

When the target is a car that has no pain or nerves, hunting becomes a very troublesome thing. If you just want to destroy it, it is naturally very easy. But to capture it intact, it is not easy.

This is an optional method. Anesthesia and stun spells will not work, and conventional nets will be difficult to trap a car that is moving at full speed.

Traps were the best solution Erwin could think of. He still couldn't master the spell that could effectively restrain objects weighing several tons.

"This plan sounds pretty good." Hagrid touched his beard.

"The important thing is to drive him in the direction of the Whomping Willow. This requires you to cooperate with each other as much as possible." Erwin looked at Hagrid and the centaurs. "The other car has the ability to fly, so the success rate of this plan may not be very good."

It’s considered high…”

"Its flight function may have been broken, at least I haven't seen it fly during this period of time," Hagrid said.

This is good news. There is still a big difference between whether you can fly or not, which means that the capture success rate has skyrocketed.

Although Hagrid is not as good at running as centaurs, he has the advantage of size and his speed is not very slow. Three people driving a car will not be a big problem if they cooperate with each other tacitly.

The half-giant carried his hunting crossbow, and the two centaurs also carried bows and arrows. "We will achieve our goal, but we are not sure how long it will take. It may take a few hours, or it may take a whole day."

Hagrid said.

This is the characteristic of hunting, there is great uncertainty in time.

"I will be very patient," Erwin said: "You are only responsible for driving them away, and leave the rest to me."

Everyone separated, and Erwin went alone to the location where the trap was set. In fact, he had already made some arrangements in advance for this hunt.

There were many simple wooden roadblocks and spikes placed around it. They were quite rough and crude, but combined with the trees, they could effectively block the way, leaving the car with only one direction to choose.

The pit is five or six meters deep. The four walls are paved with metal plates, and some simple magic words are engraved on them. The function is to increase the gravity effect to a certain extent, making the pit more threatening. The quicksand curse is imposed on the bottom, which is normal.

Once the car is stuck, it should be difficult to drive out.

The magic board, the pit itself and the roadblocks were all arranged by Erwin in advance for this hunt. From a magical point of view, this is not a big project, but due to limited time, only this relatively simple one can be done.

degree.

But it should be enough, after all, the car seems to have lost its flight function.

While waiting quietly, Erwin felt that it seemed a little unsafe. He opened the Flamel cabin and let the bellringer puppet come out.

Quasimodo is nearly three meters tall, and his whole body is made of brass-colored metal. There is no doubt that he has enough strength, and it should not be a problem to confront a car head-on.

After all, he symbolizes the main combat power of an alchemist master.

Erwin pointed his wand at Quasimodo and began to charge him. The bellringer puppet filled with magic power stood silently behind Erwin. Although it looked unattractive, it made people feel safe.

After waiting for more than three hours, Erwin noticed a lot of movement coming from the Whomping Willow. He could hear the roar of car engines and the neighing of horses.

The prey is already close.
