The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 209

"There has never been a wizard who could write such a popular book at this age!"

Fred sighed. As a young Gryffindor wizard who had read the original manuscript, he actually had a very high opinion of Anthony's new book, but its popularity was completely beyond his expectations.

Of course, this may have something to do with his orientation, and he still can't accept 'real' love.

Speaking of which, Anthony really doubted whether there would be wizards who would be broken by this book, but when he turned around and thought about the corrupt country of Great Britain, this side effect was nothing.

"Do you plan to be a writer in the future?"

"Huh? Me?" Anthony put down the pie in his hand, "I am more casual and can do anything."

"Then what are you going to write next?" George suddenly asked.

"What's next? Uh-let me think about it!" Anthony touched his chin, thinking thoughtfully.

There are many reasons why a book can become popular. For example, my new book is completely based on Dumbledore's popularity.

Then what other heat can he take advantage of next?

After thinking for a long time, Anthony finally nodded, as if he had made up his mind and said: "Let's read..."Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!"

"What?" Harry on the side was stunned. The cherry in his hand fell into the milk in front of him, causing milk stains to cover his shirt.

"The Boy Who Lived, this book will definitely be popular!" Anthony replied affirmatively.

"But - but what do I have to write about, the Philosopher's Stone? What does the Philosopher's Stone have to do with me? Wasn't it created by Nicoléme?"

Harry said anxiously while wiping the stain on his shirt, "Are you kidding me?"

"Not necessarily. If I really have nothing to write about, I will definitely take advantage of you, Harry." Anthony really plans to write the original Harry Potter. Anyway, the world he currently lives in cannot be said to be the same as the original. It is closely related, it can also be said that it is impossible to hit it with eight poles!

Even if it were actually written, it would just be another story that happened in a parallel world.

And it’s just the first one, no big deal.

Of course, this was just an idea that came to him at the moment. As for whether he would actually write a history of magic, it remains to be discussed.

"Don't! I beg you, don't write about me." Harry said with some displeasure.

He doesn't want to be famous at all, really!He didn't want to see the eyes of those being watched as if they were looking at some precious magical animal.

"Okay!" Anthony replied casually.

"Wow! It's Principal Dumbledore!" Suddenly these exclamations came from the auditorium, and then the little wizards became restless.

It turned out that a figure suddenly appeared on the rostrum.

It's Dumbledore!He doesn't appear here often.

The tall and thin principal wore a dark purple robe studded with silver stars. Behind his semicircular glasses, a smile flashed. He waved to the little wizards and sat in the middle. .

Also appearing with him was Professor McGonagall.

However, the professor's posture was a bit strange, and the look in his eyes at the principal was even stranger. The two of them seemed to be having trouble?

The little wizards were puzzled, and Dumbledore was even more confused.

He thought Minerva was a little dissatisfied with herself because she was busy with work recently!

Speaking of which - thinking about her running around these past few months, it really put too much pressure on her.

It seems that he is still personally responsible for the renovation of Hogwarts.

That’s what the principal thinks, but that’s not what Professor McGonagall cares about!

What she cares about is why Dumbledore always likes to keep secrets in his heart and bear everything by himself. How long have the two of them been working together? After so many years, doesn't he still trust her?

This is what happened to Grindelwald, and it is also what happened to Voldemort!

There was even a strange force that appeared in the United Wizards Association recently. If she hadn't learned about it from one of her friends, Dumbledore would have never planned to tell her in his lifetime.

The old bee.

It can only be said that the dissatisfaction in Professor McGonagall's heart was not entirely caused by Anthony's book. His book was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

-

"It's strange, why are all the professors here?" Hermione said in a low voice.

You know, professors don't often appear in the auditorium. Unless it's some large gathering, you won't see so many professors together.

"Ding!"

Professor McGonagall slowly sat down. She picked up the silver spoon in front of her and tapped it gently on the wine glass in her hand.

A clear and sweet sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire auditorium.

The little wizards understood, and the noisy auditorium gradually became quiet.

Countless people raised their heads and looked curiously at several professors, especially a few girls. Their fiery eyes stared at the old principal, as if they were fanatical fans.

However, Principal Dumbledore had also seen strong winds and waves, and would be affected by a few inexplicable glances from students. Then he spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

And just as his eyes swept across the faces of those girls.

A book appeared in his sight so clearly and conspicuously.

------

The news in the morning was like a gust of wind, quickly passing through the entire Hogwarts.

Everyone was very surprised by this sudden news.

Principal Dumbledore announced a piece of news.

Since the school needs to be renovated during the summer vacation, this semester will end at the end of May.

The holiday is about two weeks earlier than usual.

This is really surprising. After all, it is already the beginning of May, which means that there is only less than a month left before the exam.

This scared the little wizards.

Suddenly the entire library began to be overcrowded and became a popular place.Everyone panicked and began to sharpen their guns in the face of the battle.

And the one who suffered the most was naturally Hermione.

Regarding this little girl's strange worries and fear of getting a zero in her exam... Anthony really didn't know what to say!

Will she get zero points?

Then Anthony might as well worry about whether the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.

And as Hermione gradually endorsed crazily and stayed up late to read the paper, Anthony gradually became more and more convinced that she had a disease and needed to be cured!

On the other hand, the other two guys, Harry and Ron, really still went their own way, wandering around the castle lazily all day long, seemingly not worried about the upcoming exams at all.

In fact, Anthony himself is similar to them. In May, he also found time to complete the bilingual translation of two books, namely the French version and the Chinese version.

As for preparing for exams?

what is that?Can I eat it?

The second-year exam is not as difficult as Hermione believed. With their current magical strength, it couldn't be easier to deal with the exam. Even Ron can use the disarming spell...

Since he was frightened by the group of Acromantulas, he came back and asked Anthony for many spells to deal with dark creatures, plus Sirius' guidance.

Speaking of which, Sirius's classes were the most barbaric in the entire Hogwarts.

In his classes, he would always bring some dark magical animals from time to time for the young wizards to deal with. The most numerous ones were the Acromantula and the Water Monster.

One time he even got a troll from nowhere...

Anthony had some doubts that it was the one Quirrell had left behind.

It was not easy for the little wizards to deal with the thick-skinned giant monster. After a while, Professor McGonagall stopped this dangerous teaching...

Although everyone was panicked at the time, after thinking about it carefully afterwards, they felt very exciting.And they really learned many useful spells from Sirius.

He is countless times better than those previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

So he is very popular among little wizards.

As for other courses... For Anthony, except for those courses that require rote memorization, such as History of Magic, he is not worried about exams at all.

And who is the person who will be most affected by the news about the exam?

Those are the Weasley twins.

Everyone is busy preparing for the exam, so naturally fewer people buy books.

From the beginning, their sales journey seemed to be over.To this end, George and Fred thought of countless ways, and finally tricked Anthony into autographing more than a dozen books. With the blessing of the author's autograph, they barely managed to sell more than twenty books in a week.

But starting from the second week, their sales began to surge.

The reason is that Fred discovered that there are at least a few young wizards who can really afford them, and most of them are Slytherins. The young wizards that several other colleges want to buy have already bought them in Hogsmeade Village.

There are really few potential users.

But when they turned their attention away from the little wizard, they suddenly discovered that the dozen or so professors in the school were not high-quality customers?

Assuming that each professor buys one copy, they can sell a dozen copies, which is much easier than the previous week of begging the little wizard to buy it!

Naturally, their first target was the only tycoon among the professors, Sirius.

Although Sirius had already read Anthony's novels, in the face of George and Fred's enthusiastic promotion, he still smiled and bought five copies of each of the two books, which was regarded as supporting his own college children!

Others, such as Professor Sprout of Herbology, Professor Filius Flitwick of Charms, Professor Kettleburn of Protecting Magical Biology, etc., all of them were very happy to buy one book each.

They were all old friends of Dumbledore, and when they saw that a young wizard had arranged to become their own principal, they were all very happy, and they happily bought it as if they were joking.

Even Snape...

'Amway', a student from his own college, also found George and asked for a copy with a gloomy expression!

He probably wanted to know about Dumbledore's past and life.As a famous double agent, he never seemed to understand Dumbledore.

And the last person to buy books from Fred was naturally Dumbledore himself...

Recently, he has often been shrouded in strange looks from professors.

In fact, Dumbledore had known for a long time that a biography book about himself suddenly appeared in the UK, and the sales were considerable, even very popular!

But the principal didn't care.After all, he probably knows a lot about his biographical novel or how to write it, but not many people know about his past.

This kind of book is nothing more than random fabrication.

But the development of things did not follow his will, but became more and more serious.There is even a tendency to spread.

At some point, he suddenly realized that it seemed that all the wizards at Hogwarts had read that book, but he had never read it.

Finally, after he learned that the book was actually written by Anthony, he couldn't sit still.

He knew very well that Anthony had spent some time with Gellert, and maybe he said something that made the kid have the idea of ​​writing a book, but what would he say?

...

After buying a copy from Fred, Dumbledore sat alone in his office one sunny afternoon and opened the "touching story" full of forbidden love.

----

"Something happened, something happened!" Fred rushed into the lounge like wind.

At this time, a group of young wizards who were studying on their own looked at him with frowns.

"Professor Dumbledore - he just bought a copy of your novel. Anthony, you are finished. I'm afraid I won't see you next year." Fred continued to yell, but this time no one looked at him coldly. , with a 'swish' sound, everyone's eyes were focused on Anthony on the desk in the library corner.

"Hey! It's such a big deal, there's a high chance that Dumbledore won't read it. He's such a busy person. If he gets tired of reading crochet magazines while squatting, he might just flip through a few pages and take a look. But I guess the consequences will be It’s just that he sat in the toilet longer..."

Anthony raised his head and said blankly. His head hurt from reciting the book, and he was still in a state of confusion.

"Hey! Aren't you afraid that Dumbledore will fire you?" Someone called from the lounge.

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? I am not a professor of programming. I can guarantee that every word is true. You always think that I am writing a novel, but I want to tell you that it is a biography of a character, not me. You're just making it up." Anthony raised his head and said fearlessly.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the principal to see if what I wrote is true!"

"No! We're still filming being fired!" Someone shouted again!

Suddenly, the entire Gryffindor common room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

At this moment, a gentle and low voice came from the entrance door, "Very interesting work."

Uh-quiet!

The whole lounge instantly became quiet.

Principal Dumbledore brushed past Fred, who was a little stiff, and walked slowly to Anthony's side.

"Uh-Professor-"

Hermione, who was sitting next to Anthony, looked at the old man in front of her with a stiff face.His throat squirmed slightly, and his body involuntarily wanted to escape from here.

"Ah! Miss Granger, you still study so hard! You are such a role model for the little wizards." He showed a kind smile, and the blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses winked playfully, and then shifted his gaze to Anthony, " Very interesting works, isn't it? Full of creativity and imagination of young people. I have to say, what they write is much more interesting than our real experiences. Well - it's great to be young, full of passion for love. "

As he spoke, he took out a book from his loose wizard robe, which was "Magical Legends: Dumbledore" written by Anthony.

"Pay more attention to your studies!"

After that, the professor put the book on Anthony's desk and turned around and left the lounge.

As the footsteps gradually became less audible, the little wizard breathed a sigh of relief.

Then everyone looked at Anthony with sympathetic eyes, and everyone could tell that Principal Dumbledore came to warn Anthony, arranging the principal like this!Will the days ahead be better?

However, Anthony, as a party involved, has other views on this.

Because after he opened the book in front of him, the title page clearly had a signature with many circles, gorgeous words, forming Dumbledore's name...

Forehead...

This is a warning, this is clearly an encouragement!

------

In mid-May, the much-anticipated Quidditch finals began.

Although Gryffindor continued to defeat the Slytherin team and the Hufflepuff team.But there is still a huge gap between points and Ravenclaw.

The final is the second confrontation between the two teams.

This time, with Wood's careful tactical arrangements for a month, they finally had the strength to fight Ravenclaw.

The two sides went back and forth, and the game was postponed until the afternoon.

The four-hour game exhausted all the players present, but in the end, Harry fulfilled his promise that Gryffindor would not lose in the game with him.

In the end, Gryffindor set a historic record!

With six consecutive victories, he ranks second in the points.

The moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wood burst into tears on the field.

The setting sun cast golden rays of light on his muddy body.Harry was also crying. This time he really tried his best, but Ravenclaw was always in the lead. If it weren't for the 150 points from the Golden Snitch, they would have lost two games in a row, including the previous one. Game against Hufflepuff.

He didn't know what was wrong with the team, but they definitely wouldn't win the Quidditch Cup this year.

The feeling of disappointment did not last long, because in the third week, this year's final exam began in a hurry.

The content of the exam is no different from previous exams. During the week-long exam, each professor will pose questions in his or her own classroom. The content is divided into two types: written exam and practical exam.

Like the deformation exam, in addition to fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions that examine various deformation theories, the last big question must be an essay question. This year, one of the five branches of Gamp's basic deformation law will be discussed in detail.

This question is very simple, and Anthony chose one of the simplest branches among the branches of the law of transformation.

The limits of food deformation are discussed.

Professor McGonagall once said in class: "Wizards cannot conjure delicious food out of thin air, nor can they turn other things into food. Absolutely not. I know you can make items look exactly like food, but you absolutely cannot." You cannot eat it. First of all, it is absolutely impossible for you to absorb the nutrients. Secondly, you are likely to die from the injuries caused after their transformation is released. If you don't want to die in pain, just remember what I said."

"Suppose you just turned a ceramic teapot into a roast chicken and ate it. After the magic is lifted, it will return to its original shape and become broken porcelain fragments scattered throughout your body..."

It is the simplest deformation branch principle. Of course, if Anthony answers a more difficult one, he may get extra points, but he won't!Why waste sugar and think about those things?

As long as you can pass the exam, long live sixty!

As for the practical part, Professor McGonagall asked them to turn a teapot into a spotted cat. The closer the expression and movements are to a normal animal, the higher the score.

The exams for other courses are generally similar.

Except for Sirius, who ingeniously made a maze in the open space of the castle.

There will be all kinds of magical animals in the maze, and of course they are not dangerous. He inserted a sword in the center of the maze. Whoever can use that sword will get extra points. Of course, he can't get it. It doesn't matter, he will make a summary based on the time you spent in the maze and the creatures you defeated.

Give a score.

"You must be careful, there are monsters guarding the treasure's accessories!" Sirius said.

From the mouths of several senior candidates, the little wizards heard that the monsters at the end of the level were all different, some were goblins, and some were magic traps.It seems that Sirius will adjust the difficulty according to his age.

In this way, the exam should not be too difficult for them in second grade.

After introducing the rules, Harry took the lead and was the first to enter the maze.Five or six minutes later, he walked out unharmed, holding a medieval sword in his hand.

Next came Hermione, who took 7 minutes. Her face was a little pale when she came out, and she also held the sword in her hand.

Then, Ron, Neville, and Seamus walked in one after another.

Anthony was the last one to enter. In Sirius' words, he was afraid that he would break the mechanism in the maze.

Haha - he chuckled, and then walked into the maze with the cheers of the little wizards behind him.

In less than 3 minutes, Anthony walked out again.

He could also use it for a shorter time, but that would ruin the maze.

It's not difficult at all. It's full of fog and darkness, and there are scary screams from time to time. In fact, not many creatures will attack the little wizards. It's a test of the courage of the little wizards.

As for the so-called off-bottom boosts.

It was a Boggart. The dim environment made it difficult for people to see its deformed appearance, and then the most terrifying thing in your heart suddenly appeared in front of you. In that kind of terrifying atmosphere, most people would have turned around and ran away, or fallen down. Legs are weak.

And what is Anthony most afraid of?

To be precise, what he was afraid of was the unknown. A Boggart could not transform into an unknown thing at all. In Anthony's sight, the Boggart seemed to be broken, and it was transforming all kinds of things in the air crazily. thing, he waved his wand and got rid of him.

The perfect answer naturally won him high marks.

Sirius generously gave him, Harry, Hermione and other young wizards an O (excellent).

------

Then, Anthony walked out as the astronomy professor!

The nerve-wracking exam week is finally over.

The following days of waiting for results are the most difficult days for young wizards, especially Hermione.

So finally, three days after she made a sad face, the test results finally came out, and without even thinking about it, she knew that Hermione had ended her second year with excellent grades.

As for Harry and the others, except for History of Magic, which was good, everything else was also excellent.

Anthony surprisingly also got all A's, which made him a little confused. He promised that his History of Magic answer sheet was not one-third as long as Hermione's. Can he still get A's in this way?

Although I don’t understand why Professor Binns is so generous, who would dislike having one more excellent answer sheet?

The time that followed was a carnival day for the little wizards.

After several days of fun, the year-end banquet was finally held on the last day of May.

As soon as they entered the hall, the conspicuous blue flag hanging in the auditorium caught everyone's eyes, and the Hufflepuff students couldn't help but look a little lonely.

As for Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Ha ha!

Come on, they've given up on this year's Cadet Cup since the first day of school.

If Sirius hadn't come back in the second half of the semester, Gryffindor would have broken the history of Hogwarts and ended the entire school year with negative house points.

Regarding the fact that Ravenclaw won the House Cup this year, the little lions also applauded enthusiastically to show their friendship. For most Gryffindors, they don't care at all who wins the House Cup, as long as it is not Slytherin. Just get it.

The two young students ended the school year with a score of less than 100 points and a score of a little over [-].

As for Gryffindor's score of less than two hundred, I really don't know how Dumbledore can add points to get them to clink glasses.

Unexpectedly, the principal didn't seem to have any intention of adding points. He stood up and announced loudly that Ravenclaw had won this year's Academy Cup again.

Amid a burst of cheers, Anthony's sophomore life finally came to an end!
