Chapter 280 The Magic Wand Explodes

Hogwarts has many secrets, chambers, and secret societies, and the Ouroboros Wizarding Order is one of them. After Voldemort formed Ouroboros, until Sean took over, Ouroboros's focus during this period was to teach dark magic and learn Voldemort's pure-blood supremacy spirit. But when Sean became the president last year, Ouroboros focused on mutual learning. The senior students provided guidance to the lower students on their academic problems, and of course they also taught black magic. Sean did not resist black magic. After Theo, the previous president, graduated, he recommended Sean, who was still a fourth-year associate at the time, to succeed him. Kane Boy, who was in sixth grade, voted against it. According to the rules of Ouroboros, the strong one is allowed to take over, and if he doesn't accept it, he will challenge him. Sean was the one-on-one champion at Hogwarts, and Kane was no match for him. Now in the new semester, Kane has also graduated. The oldest among the Ouroboros is Keith Brent, who is in seventh grade. This guy also has a bit of a feud with Sean, but after four years, he is convinced of Sean's ability. oral. "Long time no see, everyone." As the president, Sean took the lead in greeting the others. "We see each other quite often. President, you really should come to more parties." The speaker was Bernard Lestrange, a fourth-year student. When Sean participated in the four-school friendly match in his second year, Bernard had just joined Ouroboros as a freshman. He had witnessed Sean win the championship for Hogwarts, and he was younger than Sean himself, so he had a deep respect for Sean as a senior. The admiration is beyond words. Sean also had a good impression of Bernard. The Lestrange family was a pure-blood, humble, polite, and extremely talented. He was in the top three in fourth grade, and Sean also paid special attention to him. "Keith, time flies so fast, you are all graduates this year." Sean said with emotion. "Who says it's not the case? Theo contacted me two days ago and asked me if I wanted to go to the Legal Enforcement Department after graduation. He is doing well there now, but my father is in the Transportation Department, and I haven't decided yet." Si said. This is another important role of Ouroboros, the network of relationships. There are two criteria for selecting members of Ouroboros, one is performance, and the other is family background. If you have an average background, you can find a way out after graduation based on your grades. If you have a better background, it will be smoother. Eighty percent of graduates from Ouroboros enter the Ministry of Magic. Networking in official circles is very important. In addition, most members of Ouroboros are pure-blood families, which makes their life in the Ministry of Magic more comfortable. Even for someone like Theo, who has good grades and a mediocre background, he is a member of Ouroboros, and the senior Ouroboros before him will take care of him, such as the previous president, Malfoy's cousin, Kurt. Sean's eyes turned to Astoria, "What happened during the summer vacation didn't leave any psychological shadow on you, right?" Astoria said shyly, "Actually, I don't even remember anything." This is also what Xiao said. One thing that makes me confused is that he was kidnapped as a hostage and was unconscious throughout the whole process. When he woke up, he was released. This was very strange. On Friday, Chris talked to Astoria's roommates, and they all said she was the same as usual, with no unusual behavior. "What are the plans for tonight's party?" Paul Fussell, a sixth-grade student, asked. Sean thought for a while and then said, "Let's take it easy in the first week. Let's chat and eat snacks, but we have to check the study status of the last semester first." Sean was referring to the study status of black magic. Although After he became the president, his focus shifted from black magic to mutual learning, but black magic was also a required course for Ouroboros. "Start with Astoria in the lower grades and see how you go with the Ghoul's Kiss that Draco took you to practice last semester." Sean said. Each grade will learn black magic from weak to strong. The first grade is "Ghoul's Kiss", and Sean's first black magic also started from it. "She must have learned it. I have been practicing with her for a long time." Draco on the side said in support. "Then I'll start." Astoria walked to a position four or five meters away from the practice stakes and raised her wand. However, none of the members of Ouroboros expected that just a simple "ghoul kiss" would go wrong. There was a "bang" sound, accompanied by a flash of flames, and Astoria "exploded". Guns will explode, and wands will have a similar situation. In severe cases, it can even lead to death. Just like Luna's mother was developing a new magic, but something went wrong and the magic exploded, killing herself. The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic also has a team dedicated to researching and developing new magic, but these are extremely professional wizards, just like professional researchers in laboratories in the Muggle world. When Ghoul's Kiss was building the frame on the tip of Astoria's wand, something went wrong and the frame went haywire and exploded. Fortunately, this is a low-level magic and uses very little magic power, so the explosion range is very small. Astoria, the caster, was not injured, but was just frightened. But unfortunately, because Sean wanted to check on Astoria, he stood very close to her, and the impact with an explosion range of only one meter hit him in the chest. "How could this happen?" Draco said with a pale face. "Sean." "President." Chris and Bernard immediately stepped forward to help Sean up. Sean lost his balance due to the impact and fell to the ground. "It's okay, it's okay, I was shocked and couldn't stand still." Sean waved his hand to comfort everyone. In fact, the impact was like a heavy punch hitting Sean's chest. The right chest did hurt a little, but because of the dragon scales on the left side, he didn't feel it at all. Regarding the dragon transformation, Sean went to see Adam late at night on the first night of school. Adam said that with his knowledge, there was no way to stop the dragon transformation process, and only warned Sean not to use the dragon transformation again. Astoria's face was full of self-blame, and she kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this. I practiced well before." "Don't blame yourself, small accidents like this happen from time to time, people Just be fine.

" Sean said calmly. When students cast spells accidentally, which is common at Hogwarts, students in Harry's class can even practice simple floating spells to explode feathers. Although there was a small episode, other The members finished casting the spells one after another. Draco comforted the depressed Astoria, "It must be something wrong. You can do a good job, I know that. "I have obviously mastered the framework construction very skillfully, but I don't know why something suddenly went wrong." "Astoria said aggrievedly. "Is this an unusual move? "Chris whispered in Sean's ear. Sean was noncommittal, "The probability of a spell casting error is actually quite high. From this point of view, it is not enough to call it an abnormal behavior, but thinking about the worst, if this is not a mistake Woolen cloth? Chrissy blinked, expressing some surprise at this guess, "You mean she might have done it on purpose?" But this is not an easy task. "Let's observe and see. Don't rush to conclusions yet." "Shaun was confused. He didn't want to think bad things about a well-behaved 12-year-old girl, but after all, she had been in contact with Voldemort and could not rule out the suspicion of being used by Voldemort. The members of the party in the evening also talked about something important. Usually after September, Ouroboros will send out invitations to first-year freshmen. Everyone starts to pay attention to the freshmen who are assigned to Slytherin at the opening ceremony. Although the grades are not visible at this time, just hearing the name will make them happy. Can you tell whether the new student comes from a large pure-blood family? "There are boys from the MacMillan family and girls from the Rozier family. These are the two key points to observe. " Chrissy said. McMillan and Rozier are both the 28th largest pure-blood families in the UK. They have a long history and a strong foundation, and they meet one of Ouroboros' selection criteria. "That's just right. The two of us are in charge of the first grade. A month later, the prefect will ask the professors about the freshmen's grades and performance, and then choose one of them. " Sean said. Sean did not report Astoria's small mistake tonight to Dumbledore. Although he vaguely knew from previous conversations that Dumbledore knew something about Ouroboros, he did not add it. Interference, but Sean still felt not to say more about the Ouroboros in front of Lao Deng, and if it was just an accident, Sean would feel too suspicious, so he decided to continue observing.
