The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

The sudden emergence of secret room rumors, the real existence of the Basilisk, Professor Dumbledore's long absence from school due to unknown matters, and an elf who seems to know a lot of inside information and can move freely in the school, these clues can already form a clue.

chain to see some of the facts clearly.

It is not difficult to deduce that some people want to bring down the current principal.

Dumbledore is too powerful, and his strong control over Hogwarts seems to have hindered the interests of many people, or in other words, they are actually coveting Hogwarts itself.

Decades ago, there was an incident of opening the Chamber of Secrets, which resulted in the death of a student, Hogwarts was almost shut down, and the then principal Dippet was directly dismissed... Obviously someone wants to repeat this scene.

To an experienced and well-prepared wizard, the basilisk can only be described as a rather troublesome magical creature with obvious weaknesses. However, to an inexperienced wizard, this monster can easily cause massacre.

Just enter a full classroom where classes are being held, and before the professor can react, the basilisk can kill at least half of the students with its death gaze.

Of course, this situation is absolutely impossible, because the basilisk has been disposed of by Erwin, and the snake head is still soaked in the culture tank of Flamel's cabin. Erwin collected some venom and found that its corrosive properties

It's very surprising, but the amount is too small, and I can't think of any uses for it yet.

In other words, there are no obvious safety risks in the castle at this time.

This means that the conspiracy against Hogwarts has no basis for success.

In fact, Erwin thinks their idea of ​​targeting Dumbledore is very ridiculous, because the strongest wizard in Britain has the ability to overturn a table. Do they think that Dumbledore is the defender of order, so they can use order itself?

To deal with him? Aren't you afraid that Dumbledore will come directly to you?

What is their basis for doing this? Is it true that "despicability is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble"?

It is impossible for Erwin to think about the problem from a neutral perspective. Even if he is so callous that he completely forgets Dumbledore's support for him, his Muggle origin makes him naturally stand on the opposite side of those wizarding families. The position of Hogwarts

That's his position.

Then the person behind this conspiracy is his enemy.

As for enemies, even those who do not openly express hostility, there are naturally many fewer restrictions on the methods that can be adopted.

The game was over, and school life at Hogwarts returned to calm again. Harry told Ron and Hermione about Dobby without reservation.

"Malfoy actually ordered his house elves to attack you. Is he crazy?" Miss Nutria couldn't believe it.

"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all. Should we fight back? Throw a few big feces eggs into the toilet when he goes to the tub?" Ron suggested.

Hermione stared at him as if she felt sick.

"Not sure yet." Harry said: "Erwin suggested that we collect information first, and it would be best to let Malfoy tell it himself." After that, he looked at Hermione.

"That's right," Miss Nutria nodded slightly, "Polyjuice Potion, we can use Polyjuice Potion to temporarily become someone familiar to Malfoy."

"We started preparing a month ago, right?" Ron touched his nose, "How is the situation now?"

"It's us who are preparing, not you!" Hermione said angrily.

Ron scratched his head and rationally made no excuse.

"All the raw materials have been preliminarily processed, and the next step is to prepare and cook them. Although it is not easy, I am sure." Hermione said, she was full of confidence.

This was mainly due to Erwin's help, which allowed the most troublesome raw material preparation stage to be skipped directly, but Hermione would not acknowledge his support at least verbally.

This guy just has a useful magical crucible.

Erwin did not participate too much in the final preparation of Polyjuice Potion because he discovered that Snape was looking for someone. Many senior Gryffindor students were summoned into his office for questioning, and they came out with

A look of disgrace.

It seems that the Oblivion Curse that was tested on Malfoy was discovered. After all, it was under the nose of Professor Snape, so it could not be hidden for long.

For a while, there should be no suspicion of Erwin. This is the advantage of keeping a low profile, so Erwin felt that he should not show too much presence. The raw material of the polyjuice potion in Hermione's hand came from

Snape's collection, it's hard to tell whether they were under his observation.

If Malfoy causes trouble again in the future, you can no longer use the Forgetting Curse on him to modify his memory.

The brewing of the polyjuice potion was done in the women's bathroom on the second floor. The crucible was placed on the toilet. Erwin really admired the tolerance of the three of them, knowing that this potion would eventually be drank into the mouth.

Essentially, Hermione was the one cooking the Polyjuice Potion, while Harry and Ron were acting like two goblins.

Erwin actually didn't have much hope for success in the end. After all, the venue and equipment were so crude, and the process was quite long. The three children even had to wear invisibility cloaks to take turns taking care of the fire at night.

I hope their efforts will pay off in the end.

Erwin was thinking about another aspect now. He recalled his encounter with the house elf named Dobby.

The coma spell is ineffective, and the confinement spell cannot prevent it from apparating. To control a wizard, you can use the petrification spell, the coma spell, and the disarming spell. But for a wizard who has strong magic resistance, he can easily use apparation, and also can

How can we restrain a humanoid creature that does not rely on a wand?

To deal with such a little guy, there is no need to call Quasimodo out.

Erwin read a lot of books in the library, but he had no memory of any books on this subject. Even if they existed, they would be difficult to find. It is impossible for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to teach students to deal with house elves, after all.

But it is recognized as a harmless organism.

Asking Professor McGonagall will most likely yield no results, so... why not ask the amazing Tom Riddle?

It is best to deal with this person in a quiet environment without being disturbed, so Erwin entered the Forbidden Forest again, unfolded the Flamel hut, and entered the magic text room.

This room is filled with densely packed magic inscriptions, which are comparable to the ancient magic inscriptions in Longmian Sanctuary. Of course, the complexity is only slightly higher, and the actual strength is actually quite a bit lower.

But even so, this magic text room can provide various functions by activating different magic text combinations, which is still very easy to use.

Erwin opened the diary, and a line of words immediately appeared on the blank parchment page, "Have you finally remembered me, Harry?"

He actually regarded Erwin as the Boy Who Lived, this unlucky soul who was imprisoned and unable to perceive the outside world.

It seems that he has been neglected in the past two days, and classmate Riddle seems to be very anxious now, fearing that Erwin will ignore him.

According to Ginny, Riddle in this diary is sixteen years old, so what is the level of the Dark Lord in sixth grade? Erwin was suddenly very interested.

What is the specific level of genius of a genius wizard in the true sense?

"How's it going? Are the spells I taught you before useful?"

Erwin ignored this sentence and quickly wrote down his own problem, how to deal with house elves.

"Interesting question. In fact, I can understand it. You want to ask 'how to deal with Apparition'? After all, these poor and weak creatures are not harmful in nature."

"Pretty much." Erwin responded.

"This is not a difficult task. Apparition is a very flawed magic. Any wizard who believes in it will pay a heavy price." Lines of elegant text appeared one after another, "The most basic one is Apparition, which directly prohibits Apparition."

form, but I recommend the countermeasure of disembodiment disorder..."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"Transformation disorder is a secret and effective method. The targets affected are often unaware of it. When they use phantom transformation, they will be immediately disturbed and will inevitably fail. Their bodies will be divided under the action of space teleportation.

into several parts.”

It was so cruel that Erwin couldn't help but sigh, this was just a sixteen-year-old Dark Lord.

It seems that even if you master teleportation magic in the future, you must never use it in front of the enemy.

“Both of these countermeasures seem to be very simple,” he wrote.

"It does require certain pre-requisites for learning magic. First of all, you must have a complete mastery of the magic of apparation itself."

"That's the thing, I can't apparate."

"Then I was negligent," Riddle seemed to admit his mistake readily. "You don't have a place to practice, do you? Then I have another suggestion, which is curse magic."

"curse?"

"That's right, stealth only consumes a negligible amount of magic power, but it is efficient enough. It only takes a simple fatigue curse to completely abolish the house elf's spellcasting ability."

"But that's black magic, right?" Erwin pretended to be surprised.

"Dark magic...Harry, did your professors tell you that black magic represents sin and darkness?"

"Yes, because releasing black magic requires one's own malice." Erwin wrote quickly.

It's a rare experience to hear a Dark Lord talk about dark magic. The sixteen-year-old Riddle must have formed a complete outlook on it, right?

"Then if I told you that your Principal Dumbledore is actually very proficient in dark magic, how would you feel?"

What's so surprising about this? Erwin pouted. How could the most powerful wizard in Britain know nothing about black magic? What's more, there is an essential difference between using black magic as a knowledge reserve and abusing black magic.

But he still showed his surprise cooperatively, "How is this possible? I have never heard of Dumbledore using dark magic."

"This is the hypocrisy of these superficial characters..."
