Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 108 New Magic

Seeing the last little wizard walking to the long table in his college, Dumbledore tapped the glass in hand with his spoon.

The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Dumbledore's expression was a little cold, but he still looked energetic.

The gray hair is a few feet long, but it doesn't make people feel very old.

"You are welcome," said Dumbledore, his beard flickering in the light of the candle:

"Welcome you all back to Hogwarts in the new school year. I have a few things to say, because one of them is more serious. I hope to say it before you are attracted by the rich dinner..."

Clearing his throat, he continued, "According to the final decision of the Ministry of Magic, dementors belonging to the Ministry of Magic will be stationed around the school this year."

When he said this, he took a special look at Kyle, and then continued:
"They are guarding the entrance of the lobby. During this period, no one is allowed to leave the castle at will. The dementors will not be deceived by any tricks and spells, and the invisibility cloak is useless!"

No need to ask, the last sentence must have reminded Potter.

"There is another piece of happy news," Dumbledore continued: "We are delighted to welcome two new teachers to our school."

Dumbledore's words elicited loud cheers from the audience.

Of course, the cheers were all for Lockhart, and 80% of the cheerers were little witches.

The flamboyant guy laughed and waved to the audience, once again showing his shining white teeth comparable to Matt Kay.

In contrast, Lupine's expression on the side was even more sad.

Sitting next to several well-dressed professors, this guy looked even more downcast.

"Let me introduce you, Professor Lockhart and Professor Lupine,"

Following his introduction, the two stood up one by one to signal to the students: "For some reason, the two new professors will be jointly responsible for the Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester."

"Professor Lockhart will be in charge of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw..."

The loud uproar interrupted Dumbledore's speech, and he had to stop.

The little witches of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were celebrating wildly, while the long table of Gryffindor let out a huge sigh.

Slytherin's performance was fairly calm, but Kyle also saw those little witches rolling their eyes secretly, apparently also dissatisfied with this decision.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore had to interrupt the noise, and continued: "Professor Lupine is in charge of Gryffindor and Slytherin!"

Lupine's appointment seemed much quieter, only the lion cubs gave symbolic applause.

"Okay, that's all I want to say, students, let's start eating."

As Dumbledore's voice fell, the golden plates and wine glasses were filled with food and wine at once, and the little wizard, who had been on the go all day, began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

During this period, Kyle kept observing the teacher's seat, and as he expected, his professor's eyes were always staring at Lupine viciously, and occasionally looked at Lockhart with disgust.

This reminded him of the long-standing rumors in the school: the professor applied for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts every year, but was rejected by Dumbledore every time.

Legend has it that this position was once cursed by Voldemort, so that the professor of this subject became a consumable item at Hogwarts.

There is no way to verify whether the curse is true or not, but the professors of this course do change every year, and none of them end well.

The light ones had broken arms and legs, and the heavy ones were wiped out like Quirrell.

That being the case, why is the professor so persistent in applying for this position?

This made Kyle puzzled, the only answer he could think of, but Kyle didn't want to believe it.

Because the only thing he could think of was that the professor was persistently choosing to self-destruct, and Dumbledore was constantly stopping him.

Is the professor's heart so fragile?Can Dumbledore, an old guy who can sacrifice everything in pursuit of a greater good, really be so tender?

Kyle doesn't quite believe it.

But obviously, the bond between the professor and Dumbledore is not just what Kyle sees.

After the dinner, the chiefs of each academy took their small animals back to the lounge.

In Slytherin's cellar, the same scenes as in previous years were staged again.

The professor's imposing speech, as well as the annual prefect competition.

After the professor finished his speech, he turned and left the cellar.

Kyle followed closely behind, waved lazily to the little snakes, and returned to his bedroom.

Put down the suitcases that you have been carrying with you all the time, wash your hands, and change your clothes.

After finally tidying up, Kyle threw himself onto the bed.

Although Kyle has been acting calm and easy during the day, the pressure in his heart almost broke him, and he retreated several times.

Confronted with a group of ghastly Dementors, then Aurors, Lupine, and finally Dumbledore.

These experiences made Kyle exhausted.

So after arriving at the cellar, he couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory.

Casually released the patron saint, let him continue to read the tome of magic books, Kyle leaned on the bed, and began to think about his own ideas.

Each floating island, mage tower, will have its own means of defense.

The floating islands in World of Warcraft are equipped with magic shields, while the floating islands in some novels in the previous life use mythos.

This kind of defense method, which combines illusion, traps and kills the enemy, is an important part of the entire defense system.

But if Kyle wants to reproduce this method on the future floating island, it will be difficult.

The main reason is that there is almost no hallucinogenic magic in the wizarding world.

The magic that traps the enemy is also not much.

This forced Kyle to develop this part of the content by himself from scratch.

Fortunately, the exchange with the psychiatrist Denise during the holidays gave him some inspiration.

Maybe the hypnotic methods of the Muggle world, combined with some methods of the magic world, can get the effect Kyle wants.

As soon as this idea appeared, Kyle kept trying.

While learning her hypnotic techniques with Denise and the hypnotic theory of the Muggle world,

While constantly looking for the matching magic theory in the magic world, or existing magic.

After trying for a holiday, he finally found an opportunity to combine magic and Muggle technology.

But it's just an opportunity.

The existing magic needs to be continuously improved, and the fusion method of the two needs to be improved.

Although the new magic has already taken shape, unless extreme circumstances are encountered, this magic is still useless.

But everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that we have a direction, we can finally find a way to improve it later.
