Chapter 863 The Pursuit of Freedom Is Both Strength and Weakness
The rumors about Anton intensified, but it seemed that these ups and downs were once again blocked by Dumbledore from the school gate.
This is simply an extremely interesting tacit cooperation.
In the back and forth between Dumbledore and Anton, 'Anton College' was settled smoothly.
When Dumbledore announced the news in the Great Hall on the first floor of the castle after the morning dinner, it did not cause much exclamation.
After all, throughout the week following the Ministry meeting, more and more people joined in on the Cottage Textbook.
Almost all the little wizards participated, even the first graders who didn't know anything, came to help find information and organize manuscripts.
Some clever little wizards will choose to take their questions to professors, and they can often get answers or suggestions.
It seemed that in the end, even the professors were deeply involved.
Influenced by the hut and stimulated by Anton's "Wizard is God", now the professors are also involved in the work of compiling their own course materials.
It can be said that for two weeks and a half months after the start of school, the whole school was filled with the sound of flipping books.
Mrs. Pince was particularly pleased.
Professor Lockhart was even more overjoyed. His "Hogwarts Weekly" is now reporting on the progress of 'Anton College', and its sales are rising steadily. The office of the newspaper is full of little wizards because A large number of magical academic papers produced by in-depth reading.
Hogwarts is undergoing a magical change!
So wrote the editor-in-chief on the cover of the Hogwarts Weekly.
On the weekend of the second week, the friends in the hut also gathered in the hut again, and they had more important things to do.
"No matter how Professor Dumbledore defines our night school, in my position, it is a training institution to help adult wizards re-employment." Anton took a sip of the fruit juice newly cultivated by Hannah , and continued to tell.
"It first targets the so-called 'dark wizards' who are on the margins of society, the werewolf group who have never had the opportunity to receive school education, the muggle squibs who have been transformed into wizards through our ritual magic, and those who have received an unsound system of education in society Wild wizard."
"We teach them how to explore the path of magic, and teach them to find their own "innate magic", so as not to let them learn black magic beyond their control, and eventually be affected by magic and distort their hearts."
"We teach them how to use magic to live better..."
"We lead them into a new age of magic!"
Anton looked at everyone with a serious expression, "So don't be limited by the name of the so-called 'Fifth Academy', it's very important to know exactly what you want."
"Secondly, because we want to get the support of the school, we let the students sit in, and we want to get the approval of the community, so we let some people sit in."
In fact, these things have already been said in the past, but recently, with the promotion of various newspapers and magazines, and the admiration and praise of the students, the members of the hut will inevitably be coerced by the words and lead to greater "greatness". target.
This is wrong, stick to your heart and know what you want!
This is not difficult for Anton. A ray of sunshine guards his heart, allowing him to see everything clearly and calmly.
"Don't think that we can really compete with the professors of the magic school. This is wrong. They are all masters of magic and have deep insights into their respective fields of magic. We are temporarily inferior in many aspects."
"More basic, more suitable for life, and more practical." Anton carefully explained these to his friends, "This is the direction in which we organize the teaching materials."
Under such a tone, many things become clear.
Anton rejected Dumbledore's choice of classrooms in the school castle to establish the "Anton College" classroom, but insisted on the previously agreed address of the little friends in the cabin - the animal pen.
Then, everyone has to find a way to vacate this space.
Too many magical animals and magical plants have been stuffed here, and it gradually looks cramped.
Everyone worked together to make a super-large suitcase with no traces and stretching spells like Senior Newt, which became a problem that the cabin had to solve as soon as possible.
In fact, this is an external statement.
What they really want to do is to make an alchemy prop similar to a space door, one end is fixed in a suitcase, and the other end is connected to the "Asylum Tower" in Central Park, New York.
The first floor is not open and is dedicated to the breeding floor of the small partners in the cottage.
Of course, limited by the confinement magic of Hogwarts Castle, they need to leave the scope of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry first, and then enter this shuttle passage through this box.
After a period of discussion, everyone finally discussed a solution.
Use the feature of the 'port key' to complete this step.
"There is some trouble. We need to leave the school first before we can use the door key props." Hannah took a quill to record everyone's thoughts, pushed the glasses frame, and proposed ideas. "However, when the 'Top 100 Tournament' starts, the school will have to let go of the restraining magic in some places. It will be much more convenient for us then."
"Actually, we can also make Newt's suitcase. It doesn't need to be as exaggerated and big as his. It can be used as a temporary breeding ground and transfer station for magical animals and magical plants." Anna sat beside Hannah and watched her record The content is added thoughtfully.
"Yes!" George's eyes lit up, "Like the flame mammoth, the whole family eats peppery chicken, etc., the long-term breeding we need has stable population characteristics, and we don't need to use them usually. They can be raised in shelter towers. Some commonly used ones can live in the trunk."
"Although it is a bit troublesome, it is indeed a good way to make a temporary transition. George and I are already in the sixth grade, and we will graduate after another year of study next year. Two years is not too long." Fred also agreed with this statement , "Using the shelter tower to raise magical animals on a large scale, and then using the door key to connect, I think this is a good idea."
At least in this changing era, it is really difficult to find a place that is safe enough for small animals to live in.
"Then it's decided."
The housekeeper Hannah put down the quill in her hand, flipped through the records, and began to assign tasks to everyone.
"Anton, what you have to do is three things."
"The first one is to transform the floor of the shelter tower according to the environment we need to cultivate magical plants and raise magical animals."
"The second is to cast protection magic on this floor."
"The third is to arrange for the house-elf."
Anton nodded, "It's not difficult."
In terms of environment modification, he has long mastered the magic of weather spells, landscape collection, and environment painting.
As for the protection magic, it just so happens that he is currently studying the map spell on the 'Lily Evans' magic manuscript. The magic on it is very practical. As long as it is combined with the spellcasting technique in the 'Grey Magic' field, Anton can guarantee that there will even be magic. Harder to map than Hogwarts.
"Actually, I don't quite agree with the house-elf you're looking for, Dobby." Neville was a little confused, "I agree with its desire for freedom, which is a very good quality, but..."
He thought for a while, shaking his head, "But it's also not trustworthy."
Hehe, isn't this a coincidence, the 'Contract Curse' on the 'Lily Evans' magic manuscript also has room to play.
"I'll take care of it." Anton shrugged, "We just need a keeper of magical animals to help water Hannah's plants by the way, not looking for a subordinate who can entrust important affairs, nor Get someone involved in the core."
His requirements for Dobby are probably close to those of a groom and a flower farmer.
Complete the established work of good hire, he doesn't mind that the house-elf is free to arrange his own time and schedule.
You can play wherever you like, that's fine, as long as you don't violate the confidentiality agreement.
The most important thing is that Dobby's spiritual power longing for freedom is enough to be used by Anton to reverse the binding contract magic. This method of effectively targeting the weakness of the mind is not so easy for a house elf with powerful magic power.
At least Anton knew that Dobby could use it that way.
With desires, there are also shortcomings.
The power of the mind often exists both positively and negatively.
The pursuit of freedom is both strength and weakness.
