The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Lockhart was extremely excited.

"Then are there any other magic items that can directly use magic spells?" He asked a little uneasily, even cautiously.

"No."

Erwin shrugged.

The magic text sequence that simulates the armor spell is the simplest kind, including only the transformation and release of magic power, so it is also the easiest to make. But if it is the kind of sequence that includes aiming and locking parts, as well as actual physics such as mechanical interaction,

If it doesn't work, it will be more troublesome.

The concept was completed a few months ago, and the research on the repulsion ring used to resist physical attacks can only be said to be somewhat vague.

Lockhart calmed down and took a deep breath. Even if this was the only ring that could use the Armor Charm, it was amazing enough.

In the entire wizarding society, although magic items are relatively rare, the overall number is not small. With Lockhart's social status that he has worked hard to manage, it is not difficult to get a few, but the problem is that these magic items

For items to function, they must be powered by the corresponding enchantment.

As a result, Lockhart was completely useless, and he had almost no ability to cast spells.

But the ring given by Erwin is different. It actually works by directly absorbing magic power!

This means that the magic text system used to make this ring is different from the magic items currently on the market! Although Lockhart's magic power is now a mess, he still has basic eyesight.

Behind this young man is not just Dumbledore, there must be an alchemist master! Although Dumbledore is also quite accomplished in alchemy, he did not say that he had published a new magic text system.

Lockhart suddenly felt that by cooperating with Erwin, he seemed to be taking advantage?

He has no complaints now.

He carefully put the ring away. With such a magic item that he could use, he could maintain his bright image more easily and no longer had to worry so carefully about being exposed.

As for the list of medicinal materials, he glanced at it and found that there were indeed several sensitive categories in it, but he knew enough not to ask any more questions.

He was also prepared to bear the cost of the purchase himself. After so many years of hard work, Lockhart was still very understanding of the world.

After this handover, Erwin left, and Lockhart went back to continue organizing his dueling club. Facing Snape's cold eyes, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's smile was still bright.

"It's amazing. It won't be long before this guy will completely surrender to you. I don't even have to guide you in this regard." Riddle said on the way back.

Erwin ignored him.

"What is on that list are the medicinal materials needed for the magic awakening potion? I feel that with your level of magic power, you don't need to drink that kind of thing. Could it be that..."

Still no response.

"I feel more and more that we are the same kind of people, equally talented, both from the Muggle society, both at the bottom of the wizarding world at the beginning - and will surely stand at the top..."

"I think you should think of something more interesting to say." Erwin finally spoke.

Riddle seemed to be choked.

Entering the Gryffindor lounge, a wave of heat hit your face, and the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly.

"Ah——" Riddle suddenly drawled his voice and let out a meaningless exclamation, "Harry Potter."

Erwin also took the opportunity to look at the boy sitting by the fireplace. Student Potter was writing and drawing on a pile of parchment with a frown on his face.

He didn't go to the dueling club, probably because he didn't finish his homework, or maybe he had seen Lockhart's true nature clearly, so he didn't have any expectations for him.

"The Boy Who Lived, the savior, was able to defeat the powerful Dark Lord when he was only one year old. Although I can't contact my true body, that is another me after all. This boy is really magical. He doesn't look very...

Excellent, but I feel that there may be huge secrets in his body..."

"Are you still trying to figure him out?"

"Aren't you curious?" Riddle asked: "Not only is he the only being who has successfully resisted the death curse with his body, he even reflected the death curse and made my body nearly dead. What will happen to him and his mother?"

What kind of bloodline do you have? Are you really not interested in it?"

Erwin pondered for a while, and Riddle was right. The common view in the British wizarding community now is that Harry's mother caused Voldemort to fail with her strong love, but in horizontal comparison, Lily Potter vs. Harry Potter

Her love may not be greater than that of other great mothers, but she can give her son the ability to fight against the Dark Lord.

This is obviously a blood relationship.

Lily Potter should have inherited a very strange and powerful bloodline, which may have been very thin due to multi-generational inheritance. After all, she was born as a Muggle and other family members did not show magical talents. In Lily's study

During her growth, her unique bloodline was probably not revealed and remained hidden, so her performance was only within the normal category of an outstanding wizard.

But that night in Godric's Hollow, faced with the unexpected arrival of Voldemort, witnessing the death of her husband, extreme fear and love for his son, and the intertwining of many intense emotions, the hidden bloodline burst out.

What happened next is already well known in the British wizarding world. Lily Potter's burst of blood did not save her own life, but it allowed her son to survive.

It is still unknown whether this unique bloodline has any other functions besides resisting the death curse. At least Potter has not shown anything outstanding so far. To study this special bloodline, we must learn from himself and

Starting from his maternal relatives.

It is obviously unethical to use another wizard or a classmate as a research subject, not to mention that Harry is still a child, and Dumbledore will definitely disapprove. And even if he really wants to explore Harry's bloodline, it is impossible to let Riddle participate.

Come in.

This is a matter of principle.

So Erwin cut off the magic supply to the diary, temporarily silencing him.

Harry, who was immersed in his homework, was completely unaware that anyone was paying attention to him.

Withdrawing his gaze, Erwin stepped onto the stairs, walked along the spiral staircase for a few minutes, pushed open the thick oak door, and arrived at the top of Gryffindor Tower.

The north wind is howling. Looking from here, you can see the snow dyeing the Forbidden Forest pure white. There is a warm fire in Hagrid's hut. There is a thick layer of ice on the black lake. Next to the station on the other side of the lake,

The Hogwarts train has already stopped there.

Erwin put on the hood attached to his robe, then took out a rune stone and activated it.

A few minutes later, with the sound of flapping wings, a huge figure flew up to the tower. There was also a rune stone hanging around Sabi's neck, the same style as the one in Erwin's hand.

This is a simple sensor used to notify the big guy to come and pick up the job.

Erwin tied several letters and a package he had prepared in advance to the Eagle Owl's thick ankle, "Go home and make sure Professor Stewart receives it." He said.

Sabi barked to show that he understood. He had flown this route dozens of times.

Last Christmas, Erwin asked his Uncle Felwood to provide financial support to dozens of Muggle-born students from poor families in the name of a completely made-up organization called the "Wizard Aid Foundation". And this year

, the funding will still be carried out and will still be free of charge.

Several students sent back letters of thanks last year, and Erwin deliberately remembered their names: Heinrich Saville, sixth year Hufflepuff; Isabella Gibson, fifth year Ravenclaw

.

There is no need to go out of your way to get to know them, just remember their names and pay attention.

Among these sponsored students, there are still several who are currently graduating from seventh grade. In half a year, they will fully enter the magical society. It should not be enough to only give them pounds. Erwin has prepared a small amount for them.

Galleons, and three bottles of red dragon's blood potion for each person.

He now has no shortage of wizard gold coins. The red dragon's blood potion is his main source of income. It is produced by the potion studio in Flamel's cabin and then sold to Diagon Alley pharmacies. Its core raw material is dragon blood purification.

The main function is to replenish magic power, which is essentially different from the magic power awakening potion.

It's not that Erwin can't afford more, but he feels that this level of free funding is enough. After all, at this stage and for a long time to come, he will not make any demands on these students, or even disclose them.

own existence.

The "Wizard Aid Foundation" is a long-term investment. Strictly speaking, Percy Weasley is also Erwin's investment target, and those five hundred Galleons are not something you can get just casually.

Sabi took the package away, and Erwin watched its figure disappear into the wind and snow. He stood alone in the cold wind for a while.

…

Two days later, the students who were not spending the Christmas vacation at Hogwarts took the train and left, and the castle became empty. The dinner was worth looking forward to. The interior of the auditorium had been decorated in Christmas style, and every student's seat

There was also a small gift on display.

Erwin opened his own and found a handkerchief embroidered with the Gryffindor Lion.

The same is generally true for other people.

It feels like it was prepared by the house elves at Hogwarts, Erwin guessed.

I finally saw Dumbledore, whom I had not seen for a long time, at the teacher's desk. The headmaster looked unchanged and seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere of Christmas Eve.

Appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and the food on the plate changed one after another. After Professor Dumbledore directed everyone to sing a few Christmas carols, the dinner was almost over.

Erwin did not intend to just go back to the dormitory. He went straight to the teacher's desk and said, "Professor Dumbledore, I have something to talk to you about."

It is necessary to inform the principal of what happened during this period.

Dumbledore showed a look of understanding, "You can come directly to the principal's office later," he said.
