Hogwarts Scholar System

"You are worried, my dear," she said sadly to Harry. "My soul's gaze passed through your brave face and saw the restless soul in your heart. I regret to tell you that your worries are not Groundless. I see that the days ahead of you are full of hardships, very difficult, and I worry that what you fear will really come, perhaps sooner than you think..."

Her voice gradually dropped to a whisper.Ron rolled his eyes at Harry, who looked at him expressionlessly.

Harry didn't pay attention, but Trelawney's words confirmed Harry's future for the next year——

Voldemort returns and Cedric dies.Harry became restless and depressed throughout the summer vacation, and then the Ministry of Magic's isolation and confrontation made Harry live in depression throughout the school year.Not to mention the two most painful things for Harry: Sirius's death and Snape's Occlumency lessons.

Professor Trelawney breezed past them and sat in a large winged armchair in front of the fire, facing the class.Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil particularly admired Professor Trelawney and both sat on futons very close to her.

"My dear, it's time for us to study the stars." Professor Trelawney said. "The movements of the planets and the mysterious signs they display can only be understood by those who know the rules of the dance of the sky. The destiny of mankind can be understood through To decipher the radiant light of the planet, these lights blend with each other..."

But Harry's mind wandered elsewhere.The scent of the fire always made him feel drowsy, and Professor Trelawney's mumblings of fortune-telling never really captivated him.But he couldn't help but think of what she had just said to him - I'm worried that what you fear will really come.

At the end of last semester, she predicted that Voldemort would make a comeback. He had thwarted Voldemort's plot with his friends more than once. Will he come back?

"Harry!" Ron and Maple whispered to wake up Harry who was distracted.

"What's the matter?"

Harry, who was still a little dazed, said in a loud voice, which attracted the attention of the entire class.He sat up quickly, but it was too late to pretend that nothing had happened. Professor Trelawney had noticed that he had almost fallen asleep.

Harry had forgotten that he was the one person who should not desertion in Divination class, because Professor Trelawney wanted to give him a tragic prophecy in every class.He still wants to sleep when the professor is paying close attention to him?

"My dear, I was just saying that when you were born, you were obviously under the ominous influence of Saturn." Professor Trelawney said, with a touch of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"I'm sorry, what happened-?" Harry asked.

"Saturn, dear, Saturn!" Professor Trelawney said, her tone obviously annoyed when she saw that Harry was indifferent to the news, "I just said that at the moment you were born, Saturn must be in the sky. Dominant—your dark hair, your thin frame, and the fact that you lost your parents in infancy. I can tell you, my dear, were you born in winter?"

"No," said Harry, "my birthday is in July."

Ron couldn't help but laugh, but quickly turned his laughter into a hacking cough.

Oh, I'm afraid only Maple knows at this moment that Professor Trelawney is talking about Voldemort!

Half an hour later, Professor Trelawney handed everyone a complex circular chart, asking them to fill in the planetary positions at the time of their birth.This is a tedious job that requires many tedious calculations of time and angles, but it is not a big problem for Maple, who had good grades in science in her previous life.

"I have two Neptunes here." After a while, Harry looked at his piece of parchment and frowned, "This must be wrong, isn't it?"

"Ah," Ron said, imitating Professor Trelawney's soft, mysterious tone, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it must mean that a little person with eyes is about to be born, Harry... .”

Seamus and Dean, who were drawing pictures nearby, giggled loudly at this.But their laughter was not enough to cover up Lavender Brown's excited scream - "Oh, Professor, look! I have a planet whose position is not accurate! Oops, what kind of star is this, Professor?"

"It's Uranus, my dear," Professor Trelawney said, looking down at the chart.

"Can you show me Uranus, Lavender?" said Ron.

It was unfortunate that Professor Trelawney heard him, and perhaps that was why she gave them so much homework before get out of class ended.

"Refer to your respective charts to analyze in detail the movements of the planets that will affect you next month," she said sternly, her voice not like her usual ethereal voice, but more like Professor McGonagall, "Next week It must be handed in, and no excuses can be made to shirk it!”

"Why didn't you ask me?" Maple said, handing them a detailed astronomical chart of the nine planets in the solar system. (Pluto had not yet been delisted.)

Ron was even more upset now.

Then Hermione appeared from behind them, gloating a little: "A lot of homework? Professor Victor didn't leave any homework!"

Ron felt even more depressed now.

As luck would have it, misfortune never comes alone, and then something even more depressing happened. When Ron went to eat, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle appeared in front of them.

Under Maple's power, Malfoy did not dare to laugh at Ron directly, so as not to give Maple an excuse to take action, but he still dared to share the content of today's "Daily Prophet" with everyone——

"Your dad's in the papers, Weasley!" Malfoy said loudly so that everyone in the crowded hall could hear.

Then he began to read today's newspaper -

There's new trouble in the Ministry of Magic

It seems that the Ministry of Magic's troubles are not over yet, writes our special correspondent Rita Skeeter.The Ministry of Magic has been criticized recently for its failure to effectively maintain order at the Quidditch World Cup and its continued failure to explain the disappearance of one of its wizarding officials.Yesterday, the Ministry of Magic fell into a new embarrassing situation due to the bizarre behavior of Arnold Weasley of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Artefacts.

Malfoy paused. He had become smarter now. Although he had a gloating laugh on his face after reading this, he did not mock Ron verbally.

Then he noticed that the attention of the students in the hall was attracted to him. Malfoy smiled and continued reading:

Arnold Weasley was involved in yet another altercation with several Muggle law enforcement officers ("police") yesterday over a large and offensive collection of rubbish bins.Mr. Weasley appears to have come to the aid of Mad-Eye Moody, a former Auror.Mad-Eye Moody retired from the Ministry of Magic when he could no longer tell the difference between a simple handshake and deliberate murder.Sure enough, when Mr. Weasley arrived at Mr. Moody's heavily guarded residence, he found that Mr. Moody had made another false alarm and sent a false alarm by mistake.Mr. Weasley had to alter the memories of several police officers in order to escape from them.But when asked by a reporter from the Daily Prophet why he wanted to involve the Ministry of Magic in this pointless and potentially troublesome affair, Mr. Weasley refused to answer.

When Malfoy saw the photo of Ron's family, he laughed and left as if he had discovered a new world.

Seeing that Maple didn't take action, Malfoy's face became even more proud.

I just like to see you looking at me and being helpless!

Maple sighed and secretly thought that it was a pity that although Malfoy was mocking the whole time, he did not say a word of insult, which did not allow Maple to find an opportunity.

Although Maple couldn't stand Malfoy's proud look, she didn't want to cross the line. It was a bit too much to just teach the other party a lesson because he was unhappy.

Malfoy's actions allowed him to escape danger. Barty Crouch Jr., disguised as Moody, hated disloyal Malfoy and always wanted to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson.

If it weren't for the fear of Maple that made Malfoy restrained a lot, then Barty Crouch Jr. would probably have caught him and taught him a lesson this time.

Alas, it's a pity that Malfoy can't be seen transforming into a ferret this time.

However, Malfoy's disaster is not over. In other words, Voldemort's group of children who do not have completely loyal friends are in a dangerous situation. With Moody's identity on his side, any targeted attack by Barty Crouch Jr. Revenge would not raise any suspicion of his true motives, and Snape would not dare to stop him.

Moody's vest is really good. Barty Crouch Jr. thinks that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Dumbledore chose this year is really great!

They had just finished eating when Hermione went to the library again.Then the Weasley brothers paid a surprise visit—

"Professor Moody! He's so cool!" Fred said.

"It's more than cool!" George answered.

"It's so cool!" Li Qiaodan, the twins' friend, also sat down and said, "We took his class this afternoon."

"How about it?"

"I've never had a class like this before," Fred said.

"He really understands it, man," Lee said.

"What do you know?" Ron leaned forward and asked.

"You know what it's like to work outside." George said solemnly.

"What work?" Harry asked.

"Fight the Dark Arts," Fred said.

"He's seen it all," George said.

"It's amazing," Lee said.

Ron rummaged through his school bag for the class schedule.

"We won't have his class until Thursday!" he said in a disappointed tone.

The following days were uneventful. Snape finally found a career that he loved. In order to see the shadow of his beloved again, Snape stopped studying and developing new potions. He devoted his whole body and mind to cloning technology. middle.

Snape finally discovered two key points in cloning. Each cell will continuously record its own information as it grows and divides, just like the system running logs in our computers.

Cells have a lifespan and a limited number of divisions. Once the division limit in the gene is reached, the cells will stop dividing and welcome their own death calmly.

The so-called division limit of a cell is not the real limit. For example, the famous HeLa cell has divided and reproduced for unknown generations, but it continues to divide.

The differences in the number of cell divisions between different human bodies also prove that this division limit is not constant.

If a cell is compared to a program, the Creator is a programmer who codes life. The Creator writes limited instructions in the code of life, and life can only operate within these limits.

What cloning needs to do is either clear the cell's log file and reset everything in the cell to zero, or directly change the source code of life and rewrite the limitations of life.

The method adopted by Muggles is to remove the cell nucleus, cut off the connection with the original cell, and then replace it with a new environment that has not been run before.

Then the second problem arises. The nucleus and other parts of a cell are not isolated from each other, but are an organic whole.

Cells differentiate into many different cells, each with different functions.Different tissue cells produce different proteins and other components, and different cells operate in different ways.

Each cell nucleus contains complete genetic information, containing instructions for how all cells operate. In theory, every cell contains infinite possibilities.

Each cell is only allowed to run a subset of all instructions, and other abilities are blocked.But this blockade is stricter than imagined, otherwise a blood cell could easily turn into a muscle cell, nerve cell or bone cell, and the whole body would be in chaos.

As for embryonic cells that can differentiate into all cells, their genetic information instructions may be universal instructions, but there is another possibility. The relationship between them and nerve cells, bone cells, blood cells, and tissue cells is not at the same level, but up and down. level relationship.

When the superior command is activated, the subordinate command is hidden.And when the embryos divide to a sufficient number, they can complete the lower-level planning, such as which cells start the operation instructions of nerve cells, which cells are bone cells, etc.

Complete the design drawings of the entire human body construction project, making sure that the arms are positioned to grow arms instead of thighs, and then the superiors can order you to retire successfully.

After the superior instructions disappeared, the subordinate instructions that had been arranged immediately began to work in an orderly manner to complete the construction of the life form.

The completion of the transformation from embryo to a living body is an extremely complex super project, so it is just a crude transplantation of a cell nucleus into the cytoplasm of another genetic cell, without ensuring whether the nucleus is suitable for the new cell. The entire life construction process Whether the construction drawings are correct or not will not create a real life.

The cloned sheep Dolly has appeared, but no one knows whether the details in its cells are exactly the same as those of a normal healthy sheep.Dolly has been kept in a sterilized and anti-viral greenhouse environment set up by scientists throughout her life, but even so, she is still riddled with diseases, and this is uninterrupted.

Dolly's diseases were cured time and time again, but new diseases soon appeared on her body.The tragedy of Dolly's life is the punishment for mankind's failure to challenge the Creator.

Can magic accomplish things that technology is currently unable to do?

Snape didn't know, but he would never give up.A glimmer of light finally emerged in his dark life, and he would never allow it to go out.

He has been immersed in the research of cloning, and now he doesn't care at all about Barty Crouch Jr. pretending to be Moody Snape.

In his Potions class, after writing his improved plan on the blackboard that was more perfect than the textbook, Snape was like a salted fish throughout the class.

Not many students cared about Snape's condition. After the Weasley brothers announced it, the fourth-year students in Gryffindor were eagerly looking forward to Moody's first lesson.After lunch on Thursday, before the bell rang, they lined up outside Moody's classroom early.

There was only Hermione. She didn't arrive until class was almost over, but Maple had already secured her seat.

She, Maple, and Harry and Hermione sat in the four seats directly in front of the podium, taking out their respective copies of "Dark Powers: Self-Defense Guide" and waiting. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.Soon, they heard Moody's distinctive thumping footsteps coming down the corridor.He walked into the classroom looking as weird and scary as ever, just in time for them to see his claw-like wooden feet peeking out from under his robes.

"Put these things away," he said gruffly, leaning on his crutches as he trudged to the edge of the podium and sat down. "These textbooks. You don't need them."

The students put their books into their schoolbags, and Ron looked very excited.

Their first class last year was like this, and Professor Lupine proved to be an excellent professor.

Moody's words made them look forward to this lesson even more.

Moody took out the roster and started calling names.His normal eye moved down the list, while his magical eye kept turning around, staring at each student who answered.

"Okay," he said after the last student finished answering, "I received a letter from Professor Lupine introducing the situation of this course. It seems that you have mastered how to deal with dark magical animals. You have learned a lot of basic knowledge, and you have learned how to deal with Boggarts, Red Hats, Hinkpunks, Grindylows and Cabba, right?"

The students murmured their approval.

"But you still haven't learned enough about how to deal with spells," Moody said. "So, I'm going to let you experience the spells cast by wizards. I have one year to teach you how to deal with dark magic. ——”

"What, what did you say?" Ron blurted out and asked.

Moody's magic eye turned and stared at Ron.Ron looked terrified, but Moody soon smiled.When he smiled, his scarred face looked more distorted and grotesque, but it was always comforting to know that he could still smile a friendly smile.Ron seemed to be relieved.

"You are Arthur Weasley's son," Moody said. "A few days ago, your father helped me get out of a very difficult situation. Yes, I will only teach for one year. Do Dumbledore a favor. .Just teach for a year and then resume my quiet retirement life.”

He laughed hoarsely, then clapped his rough hands.

"Okay - let's get down to business. Spells, they have many forms, and their magic power is different. Now, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, I should teach you various breaking spells, that's all. Logically speaking, you are less than six Grades, I shouldn't tell you what illegal black magic spells look like, because you are still too young to deal with this stuff.

But Professor Dumbledore greatly praised your courage. He thinks you can deal with it, and in my opinion, the sooner you understand what you have to deal with, the better.If you have never seen something, how can you protect yourself from it?If a wizard wants to cast an illegal spell on you, he will not tell you his intention.

He will not recite a spell to you frankly, fairly, and politely.You must be prepared and alert.You'd better put that thing away while I'm talking, Miss Brown. "

Lavender was startled and her face turned red.Just now, she showed Parvati the fortune-telling chart she drew under the table.Apparently, Moody's magical eye can penetrate not only the back of his own head, but also solid wood.

Although Barty Crouch Jr. is a Death Eater, I have to say that his courses are still very exciting.

Aside from being hidden in the shadows and not appearing in Harry's story, the elite of the wizarding world were basically wiped out by the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix.

Barty Crouch Jr., although not as good as the real Moody, is still considered a leader in the wizarding world. (Snape is very afraid of Moody, but his strength can compete with Bellatrix for the top spot among the Death Eaters. The difference is that Snape relies on his own strength, but Bellatrix Rewarded by Voldemort for his loyalty.)

"So, do any of you know which spells are subject to the most severe penalties under wizarding law?"
