Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Hagrid quickly walked out of the house, holding a large roll of black fur in his hand, and handed it to Andre several times.

"Take it, Andre, this is all I have here now. These sniffing skins are not very warm, so I usually don't keep them. Most of them are burned." Hagrid grinned and said, "Not enough. If you do, you have to wait until next fall. Sniffers won’t give birth until summer, so we can’t hunt them now.”

Andre reached out and took the large roll of fur: "That's enough Hagrid. I'll take it back and try to see if it can work. If it works, I will give you a few ready-made bags so that you can go into the woods in the future." There’s no need to bring so many things with you.”

"Is that so? That's great!" Hagrid patted Andre on the shoulder.

Andre's knees were bent directly. The strength of the hybrid giant was so terrifying that even if he just patted it lightly, ordinary little wizards would not be able to withstand it.

Hagrid scratched his head sheepishly.

After Andre got the things, he didn't want to stay long. He couldn't wait to go back and experiment.

"Then let's go back to the castle first. Don't forget that Harry will be playing in the Quidditch match tomorrow!" Andre took Hermione and waved goodbye to Hagrid.

Hagrid shouted: "Of course, I will never miss it!"

When they returned to the castle, Harry was nowhere to be seen in the common room, but Ron was playing wizard chess with Seamus.

"He went to find Snape. I persuaded him, but he didn't think it was a big deal." Ron shrugged and told Andre about Harry's whereabouts.

Andre made no comment. He and Hermione found a corner and began to conduct their own experiments.

They used a knife to cut off the excess fur outside the sniffer's abdominal pouch and then sorted it out one by one.

Hagrid gave them a total of twelve sniffing skins, which was enough for Andre.

It is not difficult to make simple magic props. Although there are no courses in this area in school, both Andre and Hermione have found such books in the library.

General magic props can be made by casting the corresponding magic spell on the material, but if the material itself does not have magical properties, the effectiveness of the magic spell will soon disappear.

But if you use magic materials to make it, it will be much more complicated.Casting spells on magical materials will cause a magical rejection reaction, which is the same as casting transformation spells on magical creatures.

So you have to consider the properties of the magic material. If you cast a spell with the same properties as the material, the repulsive force will be much smaller.

It is for this reason that Andre went out to smell the abdominal bag. The abdominal bag of this creature itself has spatial magic properties.

But that alone is not enough. Even if the properties are the same, there will still be some repulsion, so alchemists invented many related spells - such as stabilization spells, anti-repulsion spells, etc.Most of this part of magic is not a blessing type, and its function is usually to directly eliminate the remaining repulsive reaction between the material and the main magic spell.

It may not sound difficult, but in fact this is just the production of magic items from separate materials. If composite materials are involved, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

High-end alchemy products such as broomsticks are as difficult for individual wizards to make as it is for Muggles to build a car with their own hands.

A small broom contains flying spells, floating spells, cushion spells... I don't know how many spells, and the materials used to make it are also diverse, and the magic repulsion between materials must be considered.If you are not a true professional, you cannot figure out the manufacturing principle of a broomstick.

Of course, what Andre is going to do today is far less complicated.

He took out a pocket and cast a traceless stretching spell first. There was a slight rejection reaction, but the magic was still successful, which showed that there was no problem with his first step in selecting the material.

Then there is the Stabilizing Charm, which prevents leakage of magical power from damaging the pocket.

Finally, there is the anti-repellent spell, which can gradually destroy the naturally formed repulsive magic on the pocket.

It seems that these three simple steps consume a lot of Andre's energy. This is not something that can be done by just chanting a spell.He needs to feel and smell where the repulsion on the abdominal bag is heavy and where the repulsion is light, and then control the magic power to make corresponding repairs one by one.If you are not careful, the production will fail.

Fortunately, the first space pocket was successful, and Andre took it from the table with satisfaction.He put his hand in and touched it, but he couldn't find it to the bottom.

Hermione on the side also became excited, and the two began to experiment with the tables and chairs in the lounge, and finally concluded that the bag could hold about two cubic meters of space.

Of course, it can't be as exaggerated as Newt Scamander's suitcase. I don't know what it is made of, but it can't be a Niffler.

"I'll make another one for you in a few days. It's a bit laborious to make. I have to gather my energy before trying again, otherwise it's easy to fail." Put the remaining abdominal pouches into the prepared space pockets "Here," Andre said to Hermione.

"Yeah!" Hermione nodded happily.

Harry just came back at this time. He walked up to Andre and the other two and lowered his voice: "Hey, guess what I found!" ""

"Did you get the book back?" Looking at Harry who was empty-handed but not depressed, Ron also came over.

"No," Harry said, "but I saw that Snape was injured. His leg was bitten by the three-headed dog on the fourth floor."

"What?" Hermione and Ron both exclaimed.

Andre immediately remembered this episode. It was Snape who prevented Quirrell from entering the fourth floor, causing him to be accidentally bitten by Lu Wei.

"I personally heard him say to Filch, 'How can you stare at three heads at the same time?'" Harry said with a look that had seen the truth: "And there are bloody wounds on his legs. I dare to use My broomstick swore that he was the one who put the troll in at the Halloween dinner. He was going to the fourth floor to find something that the big dog was guarding, so he let the troll attract everyone's attention."

Is this why you broke your broom in third year, Harry?Andre felt that he had seen through the future, and these naughty kids had all opened their mouths.

"This...impossible," Hermione's face looked a little panicked: "I know he is not very good, but he will never steal the things that Dumbledore has carefully collected."

Ron expressed his objection: "You always think that teachers will not do bad things, Hermione, you think too well of Snape. I agree with Harry, the question is what Snape wants to steal, four What is that big dog guarding in the building?"

Hermione glared at Ron. Recently, thanks to Andre's efforts, their relationship had finally become less tense, but they still didn't talk much.

"Andre, what do you think?" Harry's eyes turned to Andre.

"It's possible, but I think if Snape was really the thief, he wouldn't have shown his wounds to Filch."

"What if Filch is also his accomplice? You see, Filch is not a good person." Harry's idea was very firm. It's no wonder, after all, their Potions professor and administrator, Mr. Rongli Grand The first and second most hated person among Fendo students.

Andre couldn't think of a rebuttal: "Look again, Harry, we don't have conclusive evidence, and there is a three-headed dog. Even if Professor Snape is really the thief, he has no chance, right? "
