Chapter 173 The Common Goal of the Hut
The school kitchen is next to the Hufflepuff common room, downstairs from the school cafeteria.
"Before going in, I have to remind you all." George said with a serious face, "House elves are a kind of weird creatures. They have extremely sensitive self-esteem and weird temper, and they also have obedience after enslavement and domestication."
Fred put one hand on George's shoulder, "It sounds contradictory, but it's the truth, just like Neville's pet toad, who always has too many thoughts of his own and runs around, and the house elves are the same .”
"They like honey, porridge, cream. They are grateful for any food a wizard gives an elf, but they don't like it at all."
George spread his hands, "We didn't understand before. After they made food for us, we invited them to eat together."
Fred pursed his lips, "We insisted on asking them to eat with us, trying to show our respect for them, but then we found out that they don't like to eat these at all."
Hannah frowned and nodded sympathetically, "Self-centered kindness is imposed on others, and in the end only you are moved."
She seemed to think of something bad, took a deep breath, and added information, "There is a saying in our family that when a house elf is disappointed with the family and wants to leave the house, it can always Find a way."
"Contrary to humans, they don't care so much about food and clothes."
"The centaurs don't even wear clothes. Not every intelligent creature likes beautiful clothes."
Seeing that everyone was talking about their opinions, Neville scratched his head and added after a long thought, "My uncle said that if you want to gain the loyalty of elves, you must treat them with kindness and respect."
Anton shrugged, seemingly having nothing to say.
Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. The members of the hut can get together, and in some aspects the three views are more in tune.
Now that there was nothing to discuss, George opened the kitchen door.
The house elves at Hogwarts wore uniforms made of tea towels. Although they were not exquisite, they were not as dirty as Anton had imagined.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
If the cupboard is dirty, he will definitely worry about whether the delicious-looking food he eats has a lot of germs.
Ok~
The topic of house elves had already wasted some of their time, and everyone didn't have much contact with elves, so they went straight to a fireplace at the back of the kitchen.
George grabbed a handful of floo powder from the shelf above the fireplace, walked in, gave everyone a mysterious smile, and threw it under his feet.
Boom!
Green flames rose and disappeared into the fireplace.
Fred was the second, he explained with a smile, "It's useless to say other addresses, all of them will fly to the front of the secret room, so please feel free."
Boom!
one by one.
"Wow~" Anton looked at the stone corridor in the distance in shock.
Thick black clouds floated over the two-meter-high corridor, lightning surged, and lightning strikes struck the ground, making a crisp electrical sound of 'stinging'.
Just standing from a distance, you can feel the slight stimulation on the skin.
Before looking at the drawings and models of the twins, I couldn't feel this kind of shock.
Watching it up close and in person, this powerful sense of oppression can make people feel the power of the thunder of nature. An instinct rooted in human primitive fear and worship surged out, and all the little wizards stared blankly, too shocked to say anything.
I don't know how long it took before a bolt of lightning spread irregularly in the air and exploded in the air in front of several people, startling everyone.
"It's a miraculous scene, I feel shocked every time I watch it." George sighed.
"We speculate that this should be Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets." Fred interjected, seeing Hannah's eyes light up, he couldn't help laughing.
"It is said that the earliest house elves at Hogwarts were taken in by Hufflepuff during the school's founding. Putting the entrance to your secret room in the powerful elf kitchen is definitely the safest place."
George continued, "Hufflepuff College is most famous for its food magic, but it also has a good tradition in herbs and magical animals."
Hannah nodded, "We are loyal to nature and have great love in our hearts."
Anton squinted, his pupils opened, and dark green stars filled the air.
Under the observation of the wizard's eyes, the dark clouds and thunder and lightning present an extremely magical image, complex and delicate, with countless six-star patterns, curves and grids, criss-crossing and reciprocating.
This is the first time he has seen the magical image of this six-star pattern.
In terms of complexity, it's actually not as complicated as Apparition, but there is a strange aura surging.
The magic image has breath, which Anton has only observed on Voldemort.
"This should be weather magic!" Anton made a judgment.
"Weather magic?" The twins looked at each other, "We haven't heard of this kind of magic."
"It's not in the teaching materials. I saw a lot of unorthodox spell classifications in the restricted section of the library." Seeing that everyone was interested, Anton thought about it, "I haven't sorted it out, I don't know how many there are, but now I know Yes, there are huge subdivisions, there are several."
"Healing spells, such spells are generally seen in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness."
"Map spells, including Muggle banishment spells, the Marauder's Map uses the 'People Charm', and the 'Unmarkable Charm', which prohibits anyone from marking an address on the map... ..."
"Blood Curse, this aspect is rarely mentioned. It requires strong and extreme emotions, extreme love, and extreme hatred, but most of them are curses that are biased towards black magic. Professor Dumbledore forbids me to read books on this aspect." Speaking of this, Anton shrugged helplessly.
"Concealment spells, such as the Fidelity Curse, hidden objects, hidden messages on parchments..."
Anton smacked his lips.
There are too many, there are too many directions to study in the wizarding world, and the Rozier family can play with just one apparition alone.
As for activation magic, household spells, etc., which are common but unorthodox, they are even more mysterious.
Each spell has a strong development prospect if it is studied in depth.
Follow the boundless with the boundless, peril yourself!
A hundred years of life is really not enough, no wonder there are so many wizards tirelessly longing for longevity.
The old wizard researched the ghost armor not to become more powerful, but to use this method to continue on the road of magic research.
"Weather spells are a very magical category. From ancient wizards to the present, people have always been obsessed with it."
"Snowmaking Curse, Raining Curse, Sunshine Curse, Blizzard Curse, Tornado Curse..."
With Anton's introduction one by one, the magical road of the wizarding world gradually unfolds in front of everyone, it is so magical and fascinating.
Interestingly, several members of the hut are particularly fond of weather spells.
Neville opened his mouth, looked at Anton's eloquent talk, and then looked at the thunderstorm behind him, "Excreting such a spell looks like a strong man!"
He has always longed to grow into a seemingly heroic and powerful wizard, and this piece of thunder evokes his earliest memories.
At that time, Anton waved his wand and ordered all the water in the Black Lake to fly into the sky, just to find a memory ball.
Oh, if he planned to learn such a powerful method, Neville felt a little desperate when he thought about it.
Obviously, weather spells are different!
Hannah also fell into fantasy, "Wow, this spell is too romantic, you can have a little rain when you are in a bad mood, you can have some snow when you are longing for romance, and you can have sunshine when you plan to travel..."
The twins have a rather strange idea. They plan to put this weather into a bottle and turn it into a joke prop. "This must be a very interesting thing to see."
very good!
energetic!
Anton looked at them with a smile, "It's not easy to learn these things."
The weather spell is not just for making a joke prop. He watched "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his previous life and was impressed by Grindelwald's technique. It is so handsome.
At that time, Grindelwald took the opportunity to attack the Ministry of Magic on the way to transfer the prison, snatched the Thestral carriage, waved the wand to trigger the thunder and lightning in the sky, and knocked the Aurors into the air.
That scene, that technique, is so cool!
Powerful!
weather spell...
The Bread Curse and Sunshine Curse that Anton is researching seem to be classified into this category of spells.
He seemed to see an opportunity to improve the overall combat power of the hut.
This is not easy. He hopes that everyone has strong strength to face future changes, but he does not want to change everyone's behavior.
He himself is also on the road of exploration, and he doesn't feel that what he thinks must be right.
But now...
Frowning, he looked at the dark clouds and thunder in the distance with a smile, "Then our goal for this year..."
"Weather Curse!" Everyone yelled loudly!
"Add weather effects to war chess." Hannah added.
"Walk through this thunderstorm and open Hufflepuff's Chamber." The twins have always craved adventure, and this place looked interesting.
"Control Thunder!" Look, Neville's words are particularly powerful.
"Wow~" Everyone looked at Neville in amazement, making this round-headed kid a little shy.
