Chapter 375 Higher Force or Higher Wisdom
"The end of the semester? If I can wait until the end of the semester, it feels like the day lilies are getting cold!"
In the corridor, they rushed to the Divination classroom, and Ron complained as they walked.
Harry said: "It seems that this spell is very dangerous, so the professor is very cautious about us learning it."
Ron: "So we have to wait until the end of the year to go?"
Lin Xia's eyes flashed with worry. She didn't know why, but after returning from the press conference, her heart would occasionally beat rapidly, as if indicating that a new round of danger would come.
Lin Xia shook his head: "No, it will be too late to study until the end. We must master the Patronus Charm as soon as possible."
Draco couldn't help but ask: "Lin Xia, why are you so anxious for us to learn? I think this is a bit unlike you."
Ron couldn't help but nodded.
In his impression, Lin Xia was calm, rational, and elegant at all times, but he seemed a little impatient when learning the Patronus Charm recently.
Could it be that she had a rare somersault on the Patronus Charm and couldn't learn it as quickly as before, so she felt bored?
Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "Draco, you are wrong. Not only do you need to learn it as soon as possible, but I also need to learn it as soon as possible.
I don’t know if you still remember what happened before the press conference. When the Death Eaters approached the students at Hogwarts, McGonagall and Professor Flitwick used the Patronus Charm to stop the Death Eaters.
At the same time, they also blocked Bellatrix's malicious gaze. I think the patron saint is a key magic spell to resist evil gods and weirdness. "
Harry asked: "In that case, why don't you teach us as soon as possible?"
After asking this question, Harry felt that it was unnecessary.
He had learned the Patronus Charm and knew its difficulty better than anyone else.
This is simply not something a little wizard can learn!
Not to mention that the Patronus Charm belongs to the field of genius, and not everyone can learn it even if it is an adult wizard.
But Lin Xia has the right idea. The sooner he learns, the better he can resist risks.
Since there was no way to get there from Professor Flitwick, they could only try to find Professor McGonagall.
Suddenly, Ron turned his head, looked around and said, "Wait, where's Hermione? She was with me just now, why did she suddenly disappear?"
Lin Xia said: "Stop looking for it. Let's go to the divination class first. If you don't want Trelawney to make a death prophecy, you can be late!"
This sentence was so intimidating that the little wizard couldn't help but trembled and quickly quickened his pace.
In the divination class classroom.
Professor Trelawney put on a new style again. She was dressed in blue, with thick blue eyeshadow on her face and mascara that resembled blue feathers.
Ron whispered: "I feel like her style this time is a bit like the oil paint on an Indian's face."
Harry glanced around the classroom and said, "But at least the surrounding blues are beautifully decorated."
Although the classroom style changed to blue this time, it was not as weird as last time. Instead, it was more warm overall.
But the teaching is still very characteristic of Professor Trelawney.
When Trelawney walked into the classroom, she looked around the little wizard and suddenly said meaningfully:
"It's nice to see you again. You may not know that you just had a brush with death a few days ago."
The little wizard looked around in confusion, chirping for a while, and his eyes were blank.
grim Reaper?
Where did the God of Death come from?
These little wizards had their memories erased and were unaware of the crisis that occurred at the press conference. They also felt that Trelawney's prophecy was wrong this time.
But even if she is wrong, her prediction is still full of charm and makes some young wizards believe that-
They did have a close brush with death!
Harry and others couldn't help but feel excited. They were the only ones who knew the truth and felt a sense of awe towards Professor Trelawney.
"What Professor Trelawney said is great. I did have a brush with death. Yesterday I fell while taking a shower and almost dropped my head into the toilet!"
"I was almost stung by a bee yesterday and was disfigured. This was also a brush with death. Mrs. Pang Lei told me that as long as the bee's sting is a little more deflected, it can pierce my heart!"
"I was almost eaten by a snake yesterday. It almost swallowed my finger. My pet is so tough!"
Harry and the others listened silently to the little wizard's discussion, and questioned their previous ideas.
Professor Trelawney cleared his throat, "Okay, little wizards, please take out the tea cups now, and we will continue to observe the traces of tea leaves."
While Ron was doing the experiment, a voice suddenly sounded from his ears.
"Ron, you did the wrong step. This is not how you pour out the tea water!"
Ron was startled, and when he looked up, Hermione was standing next to him, pointing and saying.
Ron frowned: "Hermione, where did you go just now?"
Hermione said righteously: "I'm always by your side!"
Ron: "Impossible, I was looking for you just now, but there was no -"
Hermione interrupted: "Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean I'm not here!"
Seeing Hermione's resolute attitude, Ron continued to study the traces of tea leaves with hesitation.
Harry and Hermione discussed what the professor said during class.
She originally thought she could gain Hermione's approval and reduce her dislike of Professor Trelawney, but instead Hermione said even more contemptuously:
"I asked senior students, and they said that Trelawney had said to them every time they attended class for three months: You have brushed shoulders with death!
She was just being mysterious and saying some mysterious words to convince the young wizard.
She could only fool people of our age, and senior students in the upper grades did not choose her class.
Her class was once banned by other courses in the upper grades, and I don't know why Principal Dumbledore kept her."
Lin Xia said: "Principal Dumbledore is so great, and his actions must have a deep meaning."
They mentioned Dumbledore here, and on the other hand, Dumbledore and Nico's research also came to an end.
Dumbledore picked up a piece of ash with his fingers, and grabbed a worm in the black blood.
The worm had long lost its vitality and died.
This kind of worm is very special, and it seems that it can only live in the body of a living person. Once the host dies, the worm will die immediately.
If it is vomited out with blood, it will also be inactivated in just a few minutes. The dead worm has no research value.
When it dies, it becomes a protein that can supplement nutrition and does not show any characteristics.
But Dumbledore and Nico firmly believe that this kind of worm is the key to the strangeness of being able to possess the body of the wizard.
At the same time, it is also the key to the evil god strangeness's transformation of the wizard's body. The worm plays the role of controlling the wizard. .
It's a pity that it is dead and cannot be resurrected, and more accurate data cannot be obtained. Dumbledore gave all the worms to Nico, hoping that Nico could continue to study.
Nico readily agreed: "Although I am more interested in the materials, these bugs involve the secrets of the evil god, and I will try my best to study them.
But my wisdom is limited. If you want to make progress as soon as possible, I suggest you make these bugs public and send them to several other sages.
Those sages who specialize in the biological field should be able to get answers faster."
Dumbledore shook his head, "Nico, I only trust you at the moment, and I'd better keep it a secret from others."
Nico shrugged: "I don't care, don't complain that I'm studying too slowly."
Dumbledore turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and said in a low voice: "No matter how fast or slow, it can't affect the coming of the great era. .
I have a feeling that even if the secrets of these insects are broken, Weird will find another way to control wizards.
Compared with the progress in the research field, we need more deterrence by force. "
Nico said solemnly: "I understand what you mean, but this is too dangerous. Senior wizards are always disturbed by the evil god's whispers.
Every time they use their powerful power, they will fall a little. This is an unsolvable vicious circle.
We must make greater breakthroughs in the research field. If we can make senior wizards slightly relieve the situation of being disturbed by whispers, then our durability can be longer. "
Dumbledore was silent.
He also devoted a lot of effort to the research field, issued many laws that favored research, and gave many benefits.
However, research is a very long thing, and it is impossible to produce results quickly.
The Babel Researchers Association was born for research. Look at how obsessed the wizards there are with research. They have also opened up countless resources and time to speed up research.
But the number of successful research topics every month is not as good as Lin Xia, who is supported by Hogwarts.
This makes Dumbledore more certain that research belongs to the field of genius. It is impossible for a genius who is not one in a million to grasp the inspiration that flashes by.
Research that succeeds only by accumulating time cannot change the entire wizarding world, at least it cannot make a decisive vote!
Therefore, Dumbledore is more optimistic about high-end military force.
As long as one of them can break through to a higher level and confront the evil god world, the invasion of the evil god can be stopped!
Nico looked at Dumbledore's expression and sighed silently in his heart.
Dumbledore, still hasn't come out!
Nico said: "I have to rush back to the laboratory quickly. It's a pity that I didn't meet Lin Xia. I want to give her a gift. Please help me take it over."
Dumbledore came back to his senses, and his blue eyes were as deep as the ocean.
He smiled: "I thought you would ask Babel to bring you a gift."
Nicole also smiled: "After thinking about it, I think it's more appropriate for you to bring it."
He blinked deliberately, "Are you very serious in front of Lin Xia? I asked you to bring a gift so that you can gain her favor in front of her. If you research something in the future, give it to Hogwarts as soon as possible."
Dumbledore: "Thank you for your kindness, Nico. I don't pay as much attention to Lin Xia as Harry. She seems very wary of me.
And with Babel watching, it's better for me to have less contact with her. Now is not the time."
Nicole frowned: "Dumbledore, the wizarding world has not become so bad yet. Did you make a decision too early?"
Dumbledore said calmly: "This is the path I have chosen."
...
After the divination class.
Lin Xia and others came to Professor McGonagall's office.
No other little wizards came to Professor McGonagall to ask questions. After all, she was more serious. Only the little wizards who often contacted her could feel the deep warmth from that cold face.
Professor McGonagall loves every student, no matter they are from the same college or not.
Few professors can be as fair as she is.
Seeing Lin Xia and others coming, Professor McGonagall was a little surprised and said first: "I hope you won't cause trouble for me again and wait for me to clean up the mess."
Lin Xia smiled: "Professor, we came here to learn from you this time, not to cause trouble."
McGonagall raised her eyebrows: "Lin Xia, if you came alone, I would still believe it, but you came together to learn this thing, which makes me more terrified."
The little wizard couldn't help laughing.
Serious people can't be humorous. Once they are humorous, the contrast is too strong.
Lin Xia told them their purpose.
Unexpectedly.
When Professor McGonagall heard that they wanted to learn the Patronus Charm from her, her reaction was not like Professor Flitwick, who thought they were daydreaming and would never learn it. Instead, she pondered for a long time, as if she was weighing and estimating something.
After a while, McGonagall said, "Your idea is very good. Judging from the things you do every semester, learning the Patronus Charm early can make you safer."
"It's just that--" She changed the subject and said, "I'm very busy recently and don't have time to teach you. I recommend a professor to you. He has a lot of experience in the Patronus Charm."
Lin Xia and others looked at each other and asked curiously, "Who?"
McGonagall said concisely, "Professor Lupin."
-
The little wizard left the office.
No one expected that Professor McGonagall would recommend Professor Lupin, but after thinking carefully, as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he shouldn't be too weak.
It's a pity that Lupin didn't participate in the press conference a few days ago, otherwise they would have seen how strong Professor Lupin was on the spot.
At present, he is quite good at teaching, and it's not difficult to teach them spells.
As for advanced spells, because he hasn't seen him perform them yet, the little wizard doesn't know how strong Professor Lupin is.
Lin Xia said decisively: "Let's go to Professor Lupin now. The person recommended by Professor McGonagall will definitely not be bad. We can trust her on this point."
Compared to the other professors, Professor McGonagall's office seemed more deserted.
When they arrived at the door, the door was not completely closed, but opened a gap. Lin Xia and others pushed it open silently.
Suddenly, they heard a conversation from it.
"It's really dirty, ugly, and smelly!"
Isn't this arrogant voice Professor Snape?
Everyone was stunned.
Professor Lupin's voice came: "Snape, if you can shut up, I will be more accepting of this unpalatable potion."
Snape sneered: "No one forced you to drink it, you can choose not to drink it."
Lin Xia coughed lightly, and there was a sound in the small house. After a while, Professor Snape pushed the door and walked out.
There was a small compartment in the office, and Snape and Professor Lupin were both inside.
The little wizard wanted to see what was in the compartment, but was quickly closed by Professor Lupin who came out later. (End of this chapter)
