Chapter 271 [Zi Mu River] Is in Hogwarts

"Diana Montgomery."

"Hufflepuff!"

(There is only one sentence mentioned in the novel, which still exists in the background of the movie world. Ron couldn't help but admire the beautiful Montgomery sisters in front of Hermione and exclaimed, "Dane, he is a girl in this world!" "But he , our younger brother is only 3 years old now!”)

The three Harrys did not recognize her.

Just because as the name was read out, Professor McGonagall put away the list.

The sorting ceremony is over.

The Sorting Hat and the bench automatically lifted off the ground and hung smoothly in the air. As if there was an invisible rein between them and Professor McGonagall, they followed her out of the auditorium.

("This is spell card magic again. It's really easy and convenient. There are no gestures, spells, or the assistance of a wand. It's just a thought." Dumbledore sighed, "Perhaps the magic in this world is the most suitable for us. Magic The magic in the fairy world is too advanced, and most of it relies on gods and spell spirits. Our world does not have these.")

After a while, she returned to her seat.

Then at Dumbledore's order, the banquet began.

The sky was decorated with many floating candles as usual, and the glittering plates were filled with food; yellow pumpkin juice with ice cubes appeared out of thin air in the golden cups; in the gaps between the plates and cups, salt, vinegar, gravy, and various sauces appeared garnish it with

("What is this?" Ron asked, pointing to the small plate of sausage-like things that almost all wizards had on their plates.)

(Some wizards who believe in using form to complement form have already seen this.)

The three Harrys also wanted to ask at this moment.

Because except for most of the witches at the Hufflepuff table who were chattering about the food in front of them, most of the witches at the other long tables looked at them with a narrow look and looked at the food on their elbows. In slices, something like sausage.

But Percy and other wizards showed humiliation on their faces, and began to swallow them in small bites.

"Is it delicious?" Harry forked a piece and put it in his mouth, "Gunjiujiu, it's delicious. This is-"

After the thing was swallowed down the throat, a warm current spread from the stomach, and then went straight down to an indescribable place.

"You can feel it." Neville smiled bitterly, "Fire Dragon Whip is a dish created by the famous apothecary witch Pollach by combining it with potion science. It strengthens yang and nourishes the kidneys, and is very good for the wizard's magic and fertility."

(Many viewers who love potions are surprised that Liba Xiu Pollachi is also a witch in this world?)

(In the dragon farm, the dragon tamer began to look at the male fire dragon unconsciously and began to think about it.)

(Dumbledore looked solemn, "Aphrodisiac? I hope the fire dragons in this world will not become extinct because of this.")

(For the sake of aphrodisiac, humans have exterminated too many species.)

(Even mummies, whose mummified bodies are said to be aphrodisiacs, were almost eaten to pieces.)

Neville's finger pointed to other dishes, "These are also the dishes she created. The combination of potions and cooking skills - magic meals, are all for wizards to replenish their bodies."

("Interesting," Dumbledore, who had read the information in the Fairy Hibiscus Treasures Book, touched his chin, "The potions in this world are also combined with cooking skills in the same way as in the Fairy World?")

(Snape looked at the sausages on the plate. Is cooking the way forward for potions?)

"Are they all aphrodisiacs?" Harry was surprised and took a piece of Fire Dragon Whip to suppress his shock.

Krum and Cedric had finished eating.

(Countless viewers cast envious looks. They all expressed that they wanted to eat it, or wanted to feed it to their partners.)

(Qiu Zhang blushed in anger, what kind of slut is going to use this place in another world! That Qiu Zhang?)

Hearing this, the two people quickly moved their knives and forks to other foods.

Although Neville had a grimace on his face, he did not stop eating. "Their effects are not as effective as the fire dragon whip in front of us."

Krum and Cedric slowed down their eating.

Neville sighed, "If you can eat the fire dragon whip every day, you can easily recover even if you are blocked by a group of witches in an empty classroom and your magic power is drained."

"It's a pity that it's only available during school and holiday banquets."

"Do they eat the same thing?" After eating slowly, Krum had time to ask the question.

"Of course not." Neville shook his head, "Only wizards eat the magic meal."

"But isn't the status of wizards very low?" Cedric asked.

"Hmph!" Percy, who was immersed in eating, smiled scornfully, "The cows in high-end dairy farms are also fed with concentrated feed."

"In the eyes of those witches, there are so few wizards. If we don't supplement them, how can it be enough?"

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and for a while the only sound was the sound of eating knives and forks hitting plates.

until

"Hello, gentlemen, why are you so listless? Why don't you smile?" An illusory milky-white head emerged from under the table.

(Nearly Headless Nick appeared in the auditorium in the same way, "Great, I am still a man in this world!")

Its emergence is not an isolated case.

Countless milky-white illusory figures came through the walls and floors into the auditorium.

(The appearance of the ghost broke the expectations of some viewers. They thought that this world would have a different and easier to learn method of immortality than the world of demons and fairies.)

"Hello, Nick." Percy forced a smile, and then he introduced to Harry and the others: "Sir Nicholas, the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower. Just call him Nick."

Nick nodded slightly respectfully, "Very good, Percy. You are much more polite than your two sisters."

Cedric noticed that not only Nick, but also Hufflepuff, Slytherin's resident ghost Fat Friar and Bloody Barrow were also wandering around the long table on the wizard's side instead of going to their school. long table.

(Many viewers who also noticed it sighed. It seems that the antagonism between men and women in this world has spread to ghosts.)

And Harry asked directly.

Nick looked very angry, "I'm not going to go back until wizards can join the Sorting House and resume their 9-year education."

"Me too." The fat monk nodded.

Bloody Barro said nothing, but he also expressed his position.

"Recovery?" Percy licked the residue on the plate and sneered, "It won't take long, maybe it will be tomorrow."

(Fifth floor of the Ministry of Magic - Department of International Magical Cooperation, Percy didn't pay attention to the content of his other self's words. He frowned, "You're still licking the plate, how could I do this?")

(The colleague on the side shrugged, "This is normal. This is a magic meal, isn't it? And you repeated this grade because of your magic power. It can be seen that every bite is very important to you.")

("Tomorrow?" Some viewers were surprised. With such confidence, could it be that the key to this mission is really related to Percy Weasley?)

Harry and the others also thought of this.

Under the look of the other two people, Klum was the first to meet Percy in this world. Krum, who was considered to have the best relationship with Percy, pretended to be casual and asked: "Just tomorrow? This situation can only be [sub There's something wrong with Mother River."

Harry echoed, "I feel like as long as it's around, our status won't be able to rise."

"It?" It was Neville who spoke, "It's in Hogwarts, the safest place in the world."

"Should such a thing be put in school?" Cedric couldn't understand.

How is this different from selling condoms and having sex rooms in schools?

"The inventor of it was Phineas Nigellus Black, the former Headmaster of Hogwarts."

(Phineas Nigellus Black? Many viewers who knew the history of this headmaster couldn't believe their ears.)

(He is the most unpopular principal in the history of the school. He attaches great importance to the importance of blood content and always has a grudge against Muggle-born people, calling them "Mudbloods". Although he restrained himself after becoming the principal, It’s hard to believe that he could achieve this.)

(Just because you changed gender?)

(Sirius, as the great-great-grandson of the headmaster, immediately ran to the family library and read the biography of Phineas Nigellus Black.)

(But after a quick scan, except for the new knowledge that his brother Sirius died when he was eight years old, everything else is consistent with Sirius's knowledge of him.)

Harry and the three of them also knew who this person was.

But they suppressed their surprise, and Harry stepped forward and asked: "Hogwarts? [Child River] is a river after all, where is such a big thing?"

"Everywhere," Neville said.

("What?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help it anymore, "I definitely don't admit that this is Hogwarts.")

(Students come to school to learn magic, not to have children!)

"Black lakes, underground rivers, water vapor in the air, it can be said that all the 'water' in Hogwarts is [child-mother river]."

Harry and the other two quickly put down their cups.

(Dumbledore became serious. Could the magic item that can turn all the water in Hogwarts into the [Mother-child River] be Hogwarts itself? Phineas Nigellus Black It just makes sense to add new features to this ancient and powerful magical fortification.)

(After all, although Phineas is excellent, he has never shown the potential to create a product that affects an era in history.)

Neville continued: "The liquid one is [Mother River], and the gaseous one is [Zihe]. [Zihe] is the most difficult to collect, and it can easily turn into [Mother River] during the collection process."

"Just to make them work, you need two wizards to drink [Zihe] and [Mother] respectively and activate them with a secret magic."

"Only witches of appropriate age can know this magic. They need to apply to the Ministry of Magic. After using it, the memory of this spell needs to be sealed."

("Why seal, not logout?" Dumbledore was still thinking.)

(Reminiscent of what Neville said about being everywhere, might it be that the [Zimu River] has long since expanded to the entire earth along with the water cycle.)

(This may be to prevent the knowledge from being lost due to war, or simply to prevent wizards.)

"Blood Potion." Cedric said.

"What are you talking about?" Neville didn't understand what Cedric meant.

Percy's expression became serious, "What do you mean?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Cedric nodded.

"What do you mean?" Neville asked.

"Just like the blood potion of the Salem witch spread all over the world along with the water veins, causing all wizards in the future to be modern wizards, could the [Zimu River] have also flowed all over the world and infected all water sources." Cold sweat broke out on Cedric's forehead.

"This means that as long as you know the spell and how to collect [Zihe], a witch can still conceive even on the other side of the earth."

"No." Harry shook his head, "The principle is different. The blood potion affects people. It transforms people directly from the source."

("How does Harry know that the principle is different?" Ron frowned.)

("Stupid," Ginny said unhappily, "Because if it's like what Cedric thinks, the mission will not be established.")

("In this case, Voldemort can't destroy the [Mother and Child River] at all.")

(Hermione touched her chin, "It's still possible. Maybe there is another prop that can restore the [Mother and Child River] to water. As long as the source is destroyed and the prop keeps working, Voldemort can eventually achieve his goal.")

"And the external diffusion of the [Mother and Child River] is water, and the energy that causes conception will decay as it operates."

"As long as the magic prop that radiates the water veins in the castle to turn it into the [Mother and Child River] is destroyed, the remaining [Mother and Child River] is just a rootless source."

"That's it." Percy ended the topic.

He actually thought of a possibility that the [Mother and Child River] completely changed the structure of water and replaced all the water in a hundred years.

But he didn't dare to think about it, which meant that the chances of the wizard defeating the witch were reduced again.

The banquet came to an end.

Dumbledore stood up, "Everyone has eaten and drunk, let me talk about serious topics."

"Everyone in this hall knows that Voldemort and his followers are making trouble again, and their power is growing."

The witch fell silent, and the wizards lowered their heads, suppressing their joy at the corners of their mouths.

"I need to emphasize that the current situation is very dangerous, and everyone at Hogwarts needs to be extremely cautious to ensure their own safety."

"The castle's magical fortifications were strengthened during the summer vacation, and we have received new and more effective protection, but each of our teachers and students must still be vigilant at all times and must not take it lightly."

"Therefore, I require you to strictly abide by every safety rule set by the teacher, and don't regret it for a lifetime for a moment of pleasure-especially the rule that you must not get up and go out after the specified time."

"I remember that we are not necessarily hunters, but may also be prey."

"I urge you to report to the faculty immediately if you find any abnormal or suspicious situation, whether inside or outside the school. I believe that you will restrain your behavior for the safety of yourself and others."

Dumbledore's blue eyes swept across all the students, especially pausing for a long time on the wizard.

"Okay, your beds are waiting for you, as warm and comfortable as you expect. I know that your top priority now is to get a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's class. So, let's say good night."
