Malfoy Rise at Hogwarts

Chapter 511: A sudden change in the chessboard
Nothing major happened at Hogwarts in the following period.

The results of the exchange student program were announced, and the selected students were Blaise Sabini and a fifth-year Hufflepuff girl named Megan Jones. Blaise went to Castrobisher, while Megan went to Ilphamoni.

Everyone in Slytherin congratulated him and held a small celebration for him, wishing him success in finding a girlfriend in another magic school.

At the celebration, Bryce's face was full of joy. After drinking a few glasses, his face flushed red and he was in high spirits and made a bold statement that he would find at least three girlfriends.

A lot of things happened outside Hogwarts.

Prince Bathory sent someone to bring news that among the various alien races in Great Britain that were monitored by vampires and hags, the banshees and orges had shown unusual movements.

The Banshee is a dark creature that is often seen in Ireland and Scotland. This creature looks like a woman with long hair that trails to the ground, a skull-like face, and glowing green skin. She is able to make a special cry when attacking, which is deadly to anyone who hears it, much like an adult Mandrake.

Ogres are the ancestors of ghouls, dark creatures born with the power of curse. They have thick skin like giants, huge eyes like copper bells, and two sharp fangs sticking out of their mouths. They look a bit like the orcs that Schelling saw in the movie Lord of the Rings in his previous life.

Not only do ogres possess strength and magic resistance comparable to that of giant monsters, but they also know some insidious poison curse magic, which can weaken the wizard's body through magic, causing the wizard to enter a state of poisoning, weakness, sluggishness, and drowsiness.

Unexpectedly, this time the enemy carried out the infiltration operation in great secret. On the same day when the intelligence was just received, in just less than a day, the vampires and hags in charge of surveillance had been killed. By the time Bathory and Annis gathered people to come and check, the entire tribe of banshees and ogres had been deserted, as if they had never existed.

Afterwards, Bathory and Annis each used their own unique racial methods to trace the truth, and discovered that there was only one person who did it, and he used only one magic - the Killing Curse. He cast it three times in total, killing three people. It was a quick and efficient move, and a fatal blow. The dead had no chance to dodge or fight back, and they probably didn't even know what happened when they died.

In Xie Ling's dormitory, he had just received the information, his hands crossed and his chin supported, looking at the wizard chessboard floating in front of him with a serious expression.

If someone was watching at this moment, they would find that Schelling's eyes were fixed on a chess piece with the name "Tom Riddle" written on it.

The Killing Curse is Voldemort's signature killing magic.

If he guessed correctly, the Banshee and the Ogre should have been taken away by Voldemort.

According to the information Schelling knew, the Banshees and Ogres were not that powerful. Even if they were combined, they were not as powerful as werewolves, vampires, or hags. Unexpectedly, Voldemort was willing to personally fight for such a powerful force.

His eyes flashed with a frightening sharp edge. The Voldemort in this world was different from the one in the original book after all. After failing to subdue giants and werewolves, Voldemort also grew in mind and strategy - not only was he willing to condescend to recruit forces in person, but he also learned lessons from the werewolf war, knew how to be patient, how to plan before taking action, and did things so secretly that his first move was earth-shattering, leaving Schelling no chance to react.

Moreover, Harry's reaction during this semester was also very strange. Although he was not 100% sure, Schelling suspected that this was related to Voldemort. In the original book, Voldemort did not find out that he had a mysterious spiritual connection with Harry at the beginning. He even let Harry feel some of his emotions and let Harry save Mr. Wesley's life through Nagini's vision. It was not until the end of the fifth book of the original book that Voldemort discovered this connection and used a false illusion to lure Harry to the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. Now Harry obviously no longer dreams about the corridor and the door of the Department of Mysteries. Instead, he is gradually affected by Voldemort's emotions.

Schelling could not rule out the possibility that Voldemort had already noticed the spiritual connection between him and Harry, and that he was even deliberately influencing Harry, trying to lure Harry into corruption and eventually become his pawn. Damn it, Schelling cursed in his heart. Although he didn't know what caused Voldemort in this world to recover his IQ, this "Tom Riddle" with both IQ and strength was probably much more difficult to deal with than the "Voldemort" in the original book.

Xie Ling secretly warned himself not to be easily misled by the original plot again - many people and things in this world responded accordingly because of Xie Ling's existence and various plans, which eventually led to the deviation of the entire plot.

He finally withdrew his gaze from the chess piece of "Tom Riddle" and snapped his fingers. A chess piece with "Banshee" and a chess piece with "Ogre" appeared on both sides of "Tom Riddle", forming a triangle with "Fenrir Greyback" behind it.

He hesitated for a moment, and a firm look flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a decision. He snapped his fingers again, and a new chess piece appeared on the chessboard and slowly moved to the side of "Tom Riddle". It read -

"Harry Potter".

After doing all this, Xie Ling scanned the entire chessboard again, snapped his fingers again, and the chessboard disappeared instantly.

Then, he let out a long breath, adjusted his mood, and picked up the Daily Prophet beside the bed.

The beauty potion invented by Sherin and Fleur in the Wizarding Inter-school Potions Championship was a huge success. After Fleur named it "Goddess Fairy Water" and launched it in the Miracle Alchemy Workshop, it quickly became popular throughout the British wizarding world and became a must-have item for countless witches. Even witches from abroad wrote to inquire about it.

"Practical Potions Master" even praised it as the most influential innovation of this century, believing that this potion has completely changed the lifestyle of the wizarding society and even triggered widespread social changes, allowing more people to develop an interest in and yearn for the field of potions.

Under the leadership of Sister Gulana and Hector, the Medieval European Wizards Association and the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association jointly awarded the "McQuaid Potion Contribution Award" to Schelling for his outstanding contribution to potion science. This honor not only made Schelling's name recorded in history, but also made him a recognized legend in the potion world.

At the same time, SHIELD Security Consultants set off a trend in Diagon Alley that swept the entire wizarding world. The shop was crowded with people every day, not only becoming a hot topic in the British wizarding community, but also attracting a large number of foreign wizards to come, almost becoming one of the most popular shops in Diagon Alley. Due to the reports of major media, SHIELD's commercial influence continued to rise, and it was about to become the dominant force in the business world.

Seeing this, Xie Ling showed a satisfied smile, thinking that the Wesley's Wizard Wheezes in the original book might be no more than the same.

According to the current development trend, once the Death Eaters escape from prison and Voldemort reappears, the panic in the wizarding community will further increase the market demand for defensive magic services. By then, the popularity and popularity of SHIELD Security Consultants will surely reach a new level, completely establishing its legendary status in the magic business community.

Thinking of this, the slight unhappiness brought by Voldemort has disappeared without a trace. Although Voldemort successfully recruited the Banshee and the Ogre, his own power is also growing rapidly, with no sign of falling behind. I wonder what kind of countermeasures Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix are taking?
