Chapter 618 Overthinking II (Modified, Sincere Thanks to Silver Alliance Leader Ai Ai)

Allen came to the location of the Three Broomsticks Tavern in his memory. Its layout was similar to what he remembered, but the wooden door was closed tightly. Mrs. Rosmerta would not be born for nearly a thousand years. Now there is not even a One Broomsticks Tavern here. Not yet.

Allen stood up a little and looked through the wooden fence at the house full of life. After noticing the house number engraved with Woodcroft's Hangis, he thought of what he had learned from the history of magic. : Hogsmeade is the only pure wizarding village in the UK. It was founded around the same time as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was founded by the medieval wizard Hangis of Woodcroft. Hangis himself was born in Woodcroft, Gloucestershire. After reaching the age of 11, he entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Hufflepuff House.

After graduation, after Hangis witnessed the various situations in which wizards and Muggles who were regarded as wizards were persecuted by Muggles, he came up with the idea of ​​building a village only for wizards and tried his best to turn it into a village. became a reality, and Hogsmeade was born, becoming a good place for wizards to avoid Muggles and communicate with each other.

The location of the Three Broomsticks bar where Allen was at this time is said to be the residence of Hanjis.

Allen, who didn't find any shops except a tavern, shook his head and reluctantly walked along the village path without hope. From time to time, he could see little wizards in black magic robes riding unscrupulously. Flying through the sky on broomsticks; some senior students were using apparation; in some corners of the village, Allen also saw some wizards teleported using door keys - Floo fans had to wait until they were thirteen One of the most famous chocolate frogs of the century was Ignatia Wildsmith, a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who was discovered only after she was born.

At this time, the Statute of Secrecy, enacted in 1692, was not yet in effect, so these Hogwarts students were able to travel to school via unregulated travel.

After the "International Statute of Secrecy" was implemented, this problem has been plaguing wizards: how to ensure that hundreds of students arrive at Hogwarts safely every year without attracting the attention of Muggles - in order to allow students to go to school, Portkeys were scattered throughout the UK at designated locations.

However, portkeys are not an ideal method of school transportation, because each year up to one-third of students fail to arrive at school on time because they miss the opportunity to use the doorkey, and many students become confused about the doorkey.

A return to the previous unregulated methods of travel was impossible as that would breach the Statute of Secrecy, and successive headmasters of the school were adamantly opposed to using other, safer means - such as using Floo powder to enter the castle - because that would It would threaten the security of the castle.

It was not until 1827 to 1835 that a witch named Ottaline Gamble, who was related to the founder of the Jumping Magic Joke Shop, became the Minister of Magic and solved this problem. Otalian proposed a "bold and controversial" plan. Inspired by Muggle technology, she realized that trains could be a safe and comfortable alternative to portkeys and other unregulated modes of travel.

In order to obtain a train, the Ministry of Magic undertook a large-scale project, which involved 167 Oblivion Charms for Muggles and the largest concealment spell in British history. The morning after the work was completed, the residents of Hogsmeade awoke to find a train station that had never been seen before - and the Muggle railway employees of Crewe spent the next year I felt like I had misplaced something important.

The Ministry of Magic further modified the Hogwarts Express before it was handed over to the school for use. This plan was strongly protested by some pure-blood families at the beginning, who refused to use this Muggle-built device as a means of transportation for wizards. They claimed that this method was "unsafe, unhygienic and demeaning to the wizards". However, this opposition disappeared after the Ministry of Magic firmly stated that students should either take the train to school or not go.

Allen, who had gained nothing in Hogsmeade and could only think about an article, had to put on his hood again, led his prey towards Hogwarts School, and teleported directly to a wizard's room. It seemed rude and impolite, and might even directly attract attacks from the other party - although Hufflepuff's character would not be so intense, Alan, who had already brought such a shabby gift, felt a little embarrassed inside, so he decided to let Visits are more formal.

When he saw the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Hogwarts Castle, Allen felt a little more relaxed and happy.

From a distance, there were far fewer students walking around the huge castle of Hogwarts than there were in Allen's time - although Allen had previously thought that there were very few young wizards in his time, but now it seems that there are not many. Too little to be ridiculous.

By the black lake outside the college, students in twos and threes gathered around their teacher, listening carefully to the teacher's explanation. These students all seem to have a very fulfilling life. Hogwarts provides them with a stable place to study and the opportunity to learn magic, which they cherish very much. They also regard Hogwarts as their home and are immersed in magic. In their studies, they tirelessly absorb knowledge - and most of the students here seem to be Muggles and half-blood wizards with little background.

After all, in today's era, most pure-blood families have their own way of cultivating talents. They are more accustomed to using the old method to train their children, that is, passing on the magical knowledge and skills mastered by their own family within the family. The next generation of young wizards in the family do not yet trust Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They do not believe that the young wizards in their family will be better trained by mixing with what they consider Mudbloods in school. Only a few pure-blood families will send their children here in the name of the four founders - as long as they continue to learn the family secrets after graduation.

Even in Allen's time, Hogwarts maintained its reputation as the world's number one magic school. Now, because the school has just been established and its reputation is not yet well-known, the number of people willing to come to study is too small - Therefore, their teaching method is close to the traditional learning method where the tutor leads the apprentice to learn.

"If we really listen to Salazar Slytherin, it will be difficult for Hogwarts to continue..." Along the way, Allen observed Hogwarts in this time and space.

At the same time, he also got the attention of the wizards. Without him, Allen's appearance at this time was too conspicuous. The magic robe with constantly rotating magic power made people know its preciousness at a glance. This was definitely not something ordinary wizards could do casually. It was obtained, and this kind of appearance that exudes weirdness and evil is also scary. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few deer placed on the floating saucer behind him, which made him somewhat popular, the timid ones would probably start running away.

On the stone bridge of Hogwarts, Allen stopped. A middle-aged witch dressed as a professor in brown robes with slightly sunken eyes and red hair pushed past his students and walked over to stop him. If her trembling voice hadn't betrayed her innermost feelings, she would have looked very brave despite her tall stature: "This gentleman...who are you looking for? I can inform you."

"Thank you Bonnie, but I think it doesn't need to be so troublesome." Allen said in a kind tone and stopped the familiar person in front of him - the female apprentice of Hufflepuff who loved to burn things. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Obviously The other party did not recognize himself at this time.

Allen raised his hand, and a raven made of shadows landed on Allen's arm. It had an extra eye in the center of its weird forehead. Allen handed Hufflepuff's invitation to Three Eyes. Raven, the raven held the invitation in its mouth, flapped its wings, and flew out of sight in an instant.

The expression on the red-haired witch's face became even more frightened, and she stared at Allen's wandless magic in stunned silence. Then she lowered her head and glanced again at Allen's chin exposed under the wizard's hood, which was too pale to resemble the color of ordinary human skin. She was a little afraid when she thought of the raven with black shadows all over her body just now - was this magic black magic? Will it harm the recipient?

"Don't panic, Helga Hufflepuff and you and I are actually old friends. I just came to see her, and I don't mean any harm." Alan, who had seen through the other person's thoughts, explained.

Helga's female apprentice obviously did not accept this explanation. The devil's skull belt around Allen's waist that exuded the breath of hell and a faint smell of sulfur attracted her sight and attention.

"You can see through your own thoughts and know your own name without casting a spell! A master of Legilimency!" The witch felt even more frightened. The other person's exposed chin and voice were so young. How could he be an old friend of the principal? Moreover, this dress and style obviously have little to do with kindness. Is he a devil in disguise?

"You're thinking too much, Bonnie..." Allen had to put down his hood, revealing his silver hair neatly combed back. He winked at Helga's female apprentice and turned his face He leaned a little closer so that the other party could see clearly, "Don't be afraid, it's me, Alan Harris - will you still burn the food now?"
