Chapter 832 The Sorting Hat and the Lake of Soul
Time passed quickly, and school started again in the blink of an eye.
Usually, this is the busiest time around Anton, and the little wizards need to borrow his homework, so that they can complete their missing holiday homework before tomorrow morning.
Of course, if you can find some other people in the hut to borrow homework as a reference, then you don't have to worry about being checked by the professor.
Unknowingly, the level of the members of the hut has surpassed that of other peers by a large margin.
Even Neville and Hannah, the stupid kids who were ridiculed by everyone before, now know more than Hermione, who is known as a top student, in some fields.
On the first day of the new semester, the weather was not good.
The pouring rain drenched everyone.
Anton found that there are not many students who can skillfully use the "waterproof spell" (waterproof and moistureproof) taught in the course.
As for housework magic such as 'cleaning spell' (cleaning up) or 'drying spell', the school didn't teach them, and the few who knew how to use them were almost pure-blooded or mixed-blooded students.
The students used the spell awkwardly, then looked at the others triumphantly.
Even so, the magic effect used by most of the students is still not good, and the clothes on their bodies still look trendy.
Anton recalled the process of learning magic. It seemed that he was thinking about how to cast a more powerful and adaptable effect to the current environment. He never worried about how to fully cast magic.
This seems to be the status quo of the magical world. With the improvement of the modern magic system and magic school education, it is still so clear that everyone knows that magic will always belong to a few people.
But this is not impossible to change.
The professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft are all very good, there is no doubt about it, but Anton found that if he really spent his energy, he could really bring an ordinary classmate to an excellent level.
Although there is no way to make them as powerful as the mainstream Aurors in the wizarding world, at least they are much stronger than those dark wizards who use dangerous black magic illegally.
Anton looked around thoughtfully, thinking about whether he should bring these students with him to teach those subordinates and friends.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
Anton came back to his senses and looked up. The newly admitted juniors were undergoing a tense sorting ceremony, and the extremely magical sorting hat, a magical creation, was accurately assigning the students to each department according to their potential. .
In the reflection of the "Lake of the Soul", the Sorting Hat is so magical, like a mirror, shining with colorful light.
"it seems……"
After in-depth research for so long, Anton finally figured out the principle of this thing in the fourth grade.
The effect of this thing has many similarities with the ability of the "lake of the soul".
It seems to be able to perceive the magic blood talent of the little wizard. Of course, this ability is not only possessed by the "Lake of Soul" magic. It is similar to some methods of wand making masters, and it is enough to vaguely perceive some.
The most amazing thing is that this hat should have the ability to perceive the mind.
After the little wizard experienced the magic riot and awakened the ability to control magic, excluding the influence of the magic blood, the ability is generally myopic.
In a kind of "whatever you want" magic ability to manipulate chaos.
For example, in the early days of the magic riot, when Harry Potter was about to be beaten by Dudley's chasers, he could run directly on the flat ground to the roof of the building.
Although Anton didn't know whether Harry ran up the wall or flew up directly.
After the magic riot, the little wizards' inclination to manipulate their magic power to do something, driven by their inner desires, caused some subtle changes in the nature of this magic power.
No, it should be a drastic change.
It's like the chaotic carbon element at the beginning, some people become cinders, some people become graphene flakes, and some people become diamonds.
All kinds of desires in the mind have leveraged a completely different magic power, and guided their own magic power into completely different characteristics.
The most extreme is silence, the extremely distorted will of the soul, the soul that desires the self-destruction of magic power, completely makes this magic power so violent and powerful.
And this wizard hat seems to use the magic attribute in the little wizard's body to infer more factors such as spiritual character, and comprehensively consider the choice of colleges.
Magic does not exist alone, it is the power of the mind.
Therefore, when analyzing from the perspective of excluding magic power, people will always be amazed that this hat can even calculate the future development of a little wizard.
Mind and magic go hand in hand, unless there is a major change, which is true—three years old.
"This ability seems to be very useful!"
He played a very good role in his research on magic power and mind, magic power and environment, research on wand making, research on drawing life existence, research on superposition of magic blood, etc.
Anton stared at the sorting hat with burning eyes, flicked his fingers lightly, and a group of thin lines exuding faint light emerged in his palm.
magic image.
With the "Lake of the Soul", it is not too easy to deconstruct the magic that the Sorting Hat is working after learning some skills of the staff maker to feel the magic characteristics of the other party.
"Just strip away the spiritual aspect of the hat and just analyze its abilities..."
The lined spherical pattern in Anton's palm is becoming finer and clearer.
Just kidding, the "Eye of Grindelwald" invented by Grindelwald, which can peer into the depths of the soul, can be simulated by using the bionic spell, and this does not seem to be so difficult.
"Hey~ Anton, let me introduce you, this junior is Lytia Burke from the Burke family, the niece of the owner of the Burkin Burke shop on Knockturn Lane, I think..." Draco pointed excitedly at a blonde The blue-eyed school girl wanted to introduce Anton, but she suddenly exclaimed.
I saw Anton's eyes turned into colorful vortexes, and even a little contact would make people feel weak as if their soul would be hooked out of their bodies.
As if he had glimpsed something indescribable, Draco's face turned pale, and he grasped the edge of the long table beside him with his fingers, panting weakly.
Anton blinked, his eyes returned to normal, and he smiled and nodded to the elementary school girl who was looking at him in fear, "Hello."
Then looked at Draco, "Hey buddy, are you okay?"
Draco took a deep breath, his pale cheeks didn't seem to be all right, he looked around and leaned over, "Anton, I've seen the color of your eyes before."
Anton raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
He knew that it was the colorful light that would be seen in the depths of the soul and in the long river of time, representing the memory collection of the world.
Regarding this aspect, it was his answer after consulting Mr. Grindelwald and Professor Voldemort.
That thing is too shocking, he has never thought through the ambition of this thing.
You have to eat the meal one bite at a time, don't be in a hurry.
"Um."
Draco nodded, "Death!"
"I have seen death, there will be a veil between existence and non-existence, and there is such a light on the veil."
Anton thought for a while, "Indeed."
He also sometimes suspects that the veil is not the boundary between life and death, but itself is an image of the memory galaxy that belongs to nature, which appears when the soul leaves the body and crosses the dimension of reality and the world of the dead.
Now the 'Boundless Void' he researched by himself exists in the 'Lake of the Mind', and if he intensively uses the eyes as the window of the mind to study a certain magical matter, it will naturally look like the eyes become like this.
But in fact, it was just that Draco didn't have enough powerful eye magic to see the 'lake of the soul' inside this colorful fog.
And in this school opening dinner, it seems that only one person can see it.
Albus Dumbledore.
He seemed to be stunned by what he saw, and he was looking at Anton with wide eyes in disbelief.
Conveying this message - Merlin's beard, I hope I'm not mistaken, I see my image in your mind, and Gellert and Tom?
——quack quack...
Anton grinned shyly and completely closed his brain, preventing Lao Deng from reading any thinking information.
Ma Dan, because he was too focused on studying the Sorting Hat, he accidentally made Lao Deng aware of the problem.
I hope Dumbledore doesn't know what it is.
Anton thought quickly in his mind, thinking about what reason to use to prevaricate Dumbledore.
In the next period of time, Dumbledore, a stable old man, rarely showed a trace of restlessness. This situation was obviously noticed by his familiar old friend Professor McGonagall.
She pursed her lips and said nothing, but sped up the progress of the sorting ceremony a little.
Before the little wizard walked excitedly to his academy long table, he arranged for the next student to come on stage and try wearing a wizard hat.
The sorting ceremony was soon over, and it was Dumbledore's turn to speak on stage.
He first stared at Anton's figure with deep eyes, and then supported the podium with both hands, looking around at his classmates.
"I believe that many students know about an accident that happened in New York during the holiday."
"Tom Riddle has made a comeback, and now his men are operating wantonly in America, creating many cruel things..."
"Gellert Grindelwald became headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry..."
"But I hope that these will not affect your study time in school. You are too young to think about these things."
Speaking of these, Dumbledore's eyes were majestic, even faintly showing some kind of extremely aggressive sharpness, with irrefutable firmness.
"Of course, it is necessary for us to reiterate what we say every year."
Dumbledore changed his posture slightly, and his face returned to calm and gentle, "Yes, it is said every year that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest."
"Every year, students are disobedient and sneak in by themselves, and then come to the professor to complain about the horrible creatures that hurt them in that terrible forest. Children, remember, you are forbidden to enter there!"
In this regard, Lao Deng seemed very helpless.
The half-moon-shaped glasses reflected the flames of the candlelight beside the podium, flickering.
"Especially with the recent changes in the world, the International Law of Wizarding Secrecy is under unprecedented impact. Students, I hope you know that the living space of intelligent creatures and magical creatures is already small enough."
"For many creatures, the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry may be the only place on this planet where they can live in peace, not one of them."
"Students ran into the forbidden forest against the rules and were attacked by the creatures living in it, just because you violated their territory, understand?"
He raised his finger with a strange ring and nodded, "I hope you will seriously consider this matter."
boom!
boom!
The torrential rain outside the window, the thunder and lightning, intersected with the floating clouds above the Great Hall, and the dazzling lightning flashed, illuminating one side of Dumbledore's cheek.
"This year we are honored to invite Alastor Moody to be your professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. He will teach you together with Professor Sirius Black."
"Alastor was once a powerful Auror and has rich experience in fighting against dark wizards. I think you can learn a lot from him."
Following Dumbledore's introduction, a strange-looking man slowly stood up next to Professor Sirius and greeted the little wizards.
It looked like a stiff face carved out of rotting wood, every skin was covered with wounds, the mouth was like a big crooked opening, and the place where the nose should be protruding was missing.
And the most terrifying thing about this man is his eyes.
One of his eyes was small, black, and shiny; the other was large, round as a coin, and of a vivid bright blue. The blue eye kept moving without blinking, turning up and down, side to side, completely irrelevant to the normal eye—then, the blue eyeball rolled over and got into the man's head, Everyone can only see a big white eye.
"Ah~"
Many little wizards screamed out in fear.
Facing these wizard cubs, Mad-Eye Moody tried to show a kind smile, but unfortunately, against the lightning flashes, that smile looked even more terrifying.
"Mad-Eye!"
Draco looked at the man with some fear, as if he was afraid of being noticed, he quickly lowered his head.
"You know Master Malfoy?" A Slytherin student sitting next to him asked curiously.
"In the past in Azkaban Prison, there were ordinary prisoners who were caught by him." Draco gritted his teeth at these students, making the child fall back in fright.
Born in a pure-blood family, graduated from Gryffindor College, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and the trump card of the Auror office.
Mad-Eye Moody bears all the hated labels of the Malfoy family.
The strong do whatever they want, Dumbledore filled Hogwarts with members of the Order of the Phoenix, even wiped out almost all the elites in the Auror office, and unscrupulously used the money of the pure-blood families as the funds for the Order of the Phoenix, No one dared to say a word about it.
In this way, the opening dinner was held in a very strange atmosphere.
It wasn't until the Weasley twins dropped a spoof toy on some hapless guy that things got lively again.
