Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord

Chapter 20 Classical Magic and the Threat of 'Out of Control'

At 1:30 in the afternoon, an hour and a half after being forced to stop, the train moved again.

Principal Dippet and Professor Dumbledore comforted the students one after another, and promised to give the results of the investigation as soon as possible.

Professor Hopps Joyce had already treated Qin Weijie's shoulder immediately. Although the broken bones had been repaired, Qin Weijie still felt a dull pain in his left shoulder.

There was also a small episode during the treatment.

That was when Qin Weijie heard that Professor Hopps Joyce was the dean of Hufflepuff, he unconsciously remembered the reminder of Senior Paris before his death.

Be careful... Hufflepuff...

Qin Weijie was extremely resistant to Professor Hopkins Joyce for a while, for fear that this professor was also a hidden killer.

But fortunately, this is just Qin Weijie's unfounded worry.

Professor Hopkins Joyce also noticed Qin Weijie's attitude of resisting caution, but Professor Joyce didn't care about it, and only thought that Qin Weijie was frightened after the danger appeared.

For the rest of the journey, Qin Weijie did not look for Tom, but stayed in the passenger compartment under the strict protection of Principal Armando Dippet, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Hopkin Joyce.

Since Qin Weijie was more familiar with Professor Dumbledore, Professor Dumbledore accompanied Qin Weijie along the way.

Qin Weijie briefly told Dumbledore about the cause and effect, and felt very sorry for the death of Senior Paris, Professor Dumbledore.

"Paris Ruffin is a very talented child. If fate hadn't made him encounter these hardships, I think he should be an excellent scholar in the future." Dumbledore said with a sad face, "Last year he When I passed the O.W.L exam, I was asked if I could apply to stay in school to continue my subject research..."

"I heard that senior Paris has a younger sister."

"Elena Ruffin, a poor child. She is in the carriage not far away. Professor Joyce told me that she is not in a good condition and has fainted twice from crying. That child is in this world. There are no relatives anymore."

"How will the school handle this situation?"

"There are institutions dedicated to taking in orphans of wizards. You also know that the whole world has been raging with war these years, and many children have become orphans. The Ministry of Magic allocated funds to establish such institutions, but the conditions there must not be too good. It is worth gratifying Yes, Hogwarts doesn't need tuition fees, Irina will meet her friends at school, I hope she can quickly get out of the shadows."

"How does the school plan to explain this matter? I don't think the principal will directly state that Senior Paris was ordered to assassinate me, right?"

Qin Weijie asked, Dumbledore fell silent, and tapped his two fingers on his thigh for a while.

"You can rest assured about your identity. The school will not announce it. As for how to explain this matter, I think we should wait until the school to hear Principal Dippet's explanation."

Dumbledore smiled kindly, obviously not intending to continue discussing this issue.

Qin Weijie was also very sensible and stopped talking, but turned to ask Dumbledore about magic learning.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye the train was about to enter Hogsmeade Village, and Qin Weijie had already changed into his wizard robes.

"It looks pretty good." Dumbledore looked at Qin Weijie and nodded

"It feels weird." Qin Weijie was still a little uncomfortable: "By the way, professor, is there an inevitable connection between the four elemental attributes of magic we discussed just now and the branch?"

"Element attributes are indeed a measure of the sorting hat's allocation of students, but they are not the most important. It is very common for students with different attributes to enter the same academy. The allocation of element attributes belongs to the category of classical magic, and the development of contemporary magic theory is still considerable. , can already avoid the repulsion brought by element attributes."

"Repulsion of elemental attributes? Classical magic? Contemporary magic?"

Qin Weijie looked at Dumbledore in confusion,

Waiting for an answer.

"We don't have much time, so I can simply say it. Elemental attributes are mutually reinforcing, and there must be repulsion, such as water and fire. Therefore, in ancient times, wizards with fire attribute magic would not try to use water attribute magic, because it would It will cause a conflict of magic power, and in severe cases, there will even be a backlash."

"As for wind and earth attribute magic, it doesn't matter. The wind attribute can strengthen the fire attribute, and the earth attribute is in harmony with the fire attribute. It does not strengthen or conflict."

"As for classical magic and contemporary magic, the explanation is extremely complicated. To put it simply, contemporary magic is a simplified version of classical magic. Classical magic is too cumbersome. Although many spells are extremely powerful, they can easily cause 'out of control'. Contemporary magic removes the parts of classical magic that are prone to getting out of control, and is more stable, but it also relatively lacks the original power of magic, but compared with the dreaded 'out of control', contemporary magic is more practical and safer."

"Is 'out of control' scary?" Qin Weijie continued to ask with burning eyes.

Dumbledore looked at the time: "You are really a curious child, but what you want to know is completely beyond the outline. I believe that even if you graduate from Hogwarts, you don't need to be involved in these aspects of knowledge. We have a chance While discussing these interesting topics, it's time for you to get out of the car."

...

Getting off the train at Hogsmeade Station, Qin Weijie heard a familiar line.

"First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!"

A lame middle-aged slovenly uncle was wrapped in a thick and unsuitable fur coat, looking a bit sharp. At this time, he lit his wand and waved it in front of him, signaling the first-year students to gather at him.

Qin Weijie mixed in the crowd and walked forward following the light.

"Wang~"

A chubby black Tibetan Mastiff emerged from the crowd.

"Why don't you see Tom?"

"Wang~"

Following the barking of the two dogs, Qin Weijie saw that Tom was advancing surrounded by a group of people, during which he talked like a leader.

Qin Weijie didn't bother Tom, but quietly followed the crowd, trying to minimize his presence.

After many assassinations, Qin Weijie deeply comprehended the essence of Gou Zi Jue, low-key is the kingly way.

After walking along a path for about ten minutes and turning a corner, Qin Weijie saw Hogwarts for the first time.

Across the black lake, looking at the huge castle on the hillside in the distance.

Qin Weijie believed that this was much more shocking than watching movies in his previous life.

The quaint Gothic castle, ancient and mysterious, possesses an irresistible charm.

In terms of area, it should be comparable to Foley Castle, but the styles of the two castles are very different.

Foley Castle is gloomy and depressing, and it feels a bit breathless, while Hogwarts Castle looks mysterious, solemn, and simple, and the overall atmosphere is much lighter, which may have something to do with the energetic students living inside.

The freshmen walked to the edge of the Black Lake one after another, where many boats docked.

Every four freshmen took a small boat. Qin Weijie took a look at it at this time. There should be close to thirty or forty freshmen in a class. Ten boats are enough to carry students across the Black Lake, and there may even be a surplus.

Qin Weijie nestled at the back, trying to appear as low-key as possible.

Watching the students get on the boats one after another, Qin Weijie and Ergou stepped into the last boat.

At this time, there was only a timid little girl sitting on the boat, and Qin Weijie consciously sat opposite to the little girl.

Ergou was lying between the two of them, breathing a little rapidly. It was obvious that Ergou was afraid of water. .

"Sit still~ Don't fall, I don't want to go to the underground of Black Lake and ask those mermaids for your corpses!"

The leader is lame Brother Xili, but at this age, he should be called Uncle Xili.

Uncle Sharp yelled loudly, and the boat moved by itself, and all the students looked up at Hogwarts curiously.

Qin Weijie looked at the girl opposite, and nodded politely: "Hi, I'm Weijie Qin, you can call me Weijie."

The girl ignored it and continued to lower her head, tears pattering down the boat.

"Strange girl~" Qin Weijie sneered secretly in his heart, and stopped making fun of himself.

Not long after, all the freshmen came to the houseboat, and under the leadership of Uncle Sharp, they began to climb up the stairs.

To be honest, Qin Weijie already felt that his chest was sticking to his back with hunger, and now he even struggled to climb the stairs.

But looking at the other students, Qin Weijie found that he was already in good condition.

The girl crying alone followed at the end of the line, three to four meters away from Qin Weijie.

Seeing her staggeringly walking, Qin Weijie was really afraid that she would fall.

Go up the stairs to an oak door, directly opposite the door is a grand marble staircase, which leads directly to the upper floor.

After Uncle Sharp's explanation, the place they came to at this time was the entrance hall of Hogwarts.

There is a double door on the right side of the hall, Qin Weijie can clearly hear the noise inside, many students have already entered, it should be the legendary auditorium.

Uncle Sharp sent the students to the hall and left. At this time, a man in his thirties appeared in front of the auditorium, wearing a gorgeous wizard robe and dressed more delicately than a woman.

"Grace Lester, your Charms professor, head of Ravenclaw, vice head of Hogwarts."

The man spoke, as if introducing himself to the students, and as if talking to himself, he never looked down at the group of freshmen from the beginning to the end.

"Advance to the waiting room, and the sorting ceremony will begin later." After speaking, Professor Lester turned his head and left.

This Nima is a tsundere monster, and this attitude is just like the Sijiao style! Are you sure you're not related to Severus Snape?

No, Si Jiao should not have been born yet...Maybe he really belonged to Si Jiao...Grandpa? Grandpa?

Just as he was thinking, a chubby, chubby, transparent figure suddenly emerged from the wall behind Qin Weijie—the ghost of Hogwarts.

"Aha! Cough cough... As freshmen, you are going to have a sorting ceremony soon, so you have to tidy up your appearance." The chubby ghost said pretending to be deep.

Qin Weijie suddenly thought of something in his heart. The most troublesome thing in Hogwarts is none other than a ghost, Peeves, the ghost of Gryffindor, is known for playing pranks and dying.

Thinking of this, Qin Weijie couldn't help becoming cautious.

Sure enough, everything was as he expected, when all the freshmen were grooming, the chubby ghost made a pile of dirt out of nowhere, and began to smash at the freshmen.

Qin Weijie originally wanted to evade with his own skills, but then two words appeared in his mind, "low-key, hold on".

Afterwards, Qin Weijie simply stopped avoiding it and let Peeves play around.

Finally, Professor Grace Lester came back and drank Peeves off.

But almost everyone was disgraced by the pranks of this hateful ghost.

Seeing this scene, Grace Lester couldn't help shaking his head, and the subtext was clearly: "You guys are the worst class I've ever led..."

However, a few children didn't get any dirt on their bodies.

It was these children who showed their amazing magical talents in the future, and they avoided the attack of the ghost Peeves in their own different ways.

And the most eye-catching one is Tom.

Although the others escaped the attack, they were somewhat embarrassed, but Tom was still glamorous and spotless.

"Tom, I'll give you ninety-five points for this pretense!"

Qin Weijie wiped the muddy water off his body, planning in his mind to find a chance to teach that nasty Peeves a lesson, a gentleman's revenge, it's not too late in a week.

"Come in with me! Line up." Professor Lester said, turning his head to lead the way.

Many students have been frightened by Professor Leicester's teaching style and resist going to school. Qin Weijie bets that at least half of the people here have a psychological shadow on this professor.

Walking into the auditorium, it was really noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers blared, red flags fluttered, and there were huge crowds of people. In human terms, it was lively.

The resplendent auditorium has a huge space, and the ceiling is arranged as a bright starry sky and Milky Way, which looks full of mysterious charm.

The new students were led to a four-cornered stool, and an extremely worn gray wizard hat with a pointed peak was placed on it.

Seeing the new students come in, all the teachers and students in the school looked at the broken hat.

At this moment, the hat grinned and let out a hey laugh, and then started his performance on his own:

I am older than you think,

I have seen classical magic,

cumbersome, dangerous, and mysterious

I also saw the current progress,

Rigorous, stable, and practical

I traveled through the river of time,

Witnessed the growth of countless outstanding wizards,

I am the Sorting Hat of Hogwarts,

My piercing eyes see through your essence,

I'll put you in the right house,

ask yourself first,

Where do you want to go?

Gryffindor?

brave lion

Carrying a fiery flame,

His gift is in the school

Give you the courage, courage and chivalry to go forward,

Hufflepuff?

tough badger

Carrying the weight of the earth,

there is something you want in the dungeon

With tenacity, honesty and kindness

Maybe you want to go to Ravenclaw?

wise eagle

The Creed of Lifting the Blue Sky

Countless secrets are waiting for you

solve the puzzle,

You will become a shrewd, wise, learned person

oh oh oh~

Never forget the noble Slytherin,

the dreaded snake,

Pursue the will of flowing water,

The Black Lake holds ambition and eternal secrets,

You are the noblest masters of this age,

You know what you want and how to get it,

What Slytherin sees,

No expense was spared.

bring it on! take me!

Let me continue to witness the great era!

Let me continue to witness the hope of the future!

Come choose your future!

The hat sang an ugly song, at least Qin Weijie thought so.

I don't know whether it was out of curiosity or caution, Qin Weijie actually memorized the lyrics of the Sorting Hat, and four of them caught his attention.

'Gryffindor, his gift is in the school. '

'Hufflepuff, the dungeon has what you want. '

'Ravenclaw, countless secrets await you, solve the riddles. '

'Slytherin, the Black Lake holds ambition and eternal secrets. '

Qin Weijie considered these four sentences over and over again, but was attracted by the sorting ceremony, and finally decided not to think about these brain-burning issues for the time being.

"Sit up if you can read the name." Professor Lester followed the end of the singing of the Sorting Hat, as if he couldn't bear the ugly singing.

"Dewey Leonard!"

A naive little fat man sat on a four-corner stool with a hat on his head.

A few seconds later the hat yelled, "Gryffindor!"

"Dobbin Campbell!"

The child took a long time, and it took a full ten seconds for the response to come.

"Hufflepuff!"

"Tom Riddle!"

For Tom, Qin Weijie didn't even need to look at it.

Proper Slytherin.

Qin Weijie was also thinking about whether to enter Slytherin with Tom.

In this case, he can continue to bully Tom.

"Slytherin!" There was no doubt about it.

After that, several children went up, both boys and girls.

Hufflepuff is the one with the most students, and nearly seven or eight students have entered Hufflepuff.

Gryffindor, assigned four students.

Ravenclaw, the least number, only three.

Slytherin selected five students one after another, and by their surnames, they were basically old magic families.

"Elena Ruphane!"

When Professor Lester uttered the name, Qin Weijie was taken aback.

"Senior Paris' sister!"

Qin Weijie took a closer look and found that he was still an acquaintance, that is, the little girl who was on the same boat as him.

Her face looked ugly, with tears and mud stains all over her face, and she didn't even wipe off the mud that Peeves threw on her just now.

Elena sat on the corner stool like a walking dead.

The Sorting Hat fell silent, and it took a long time for the Sorting Hat to speak.

"Ravenclaw!"

At this time, Elena's complexion was a little better, and she also took the initiative to wipe the stains on her face, and sat down on Ravenclaw's long table.

Qin Weijie never left her eyes, watching her quietly.

The action of shooting himself appeared in Qin Weijie's mind, as if a voice told him.

"You killed Paris Ruffin!"
