Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Dumbledore did not stay in this redwood forest for long. After he handed Andrei over to Francis, he did not say any more instructions to the boy and left here by apparating again.

"You can stay here if you want, but I've agreed in advance that I don't have a place for you to sleep in this house, so you have to find a way to build a house yourself." After the principal left, Francis said to Ann with a playful expression. Andre said.

This made Andre smile bitterly, and he could only be glad that he had brought Norberta's suitcase with him, otherwise he would have really had to build his own house.

But now that the suitcase exists, Andre no longer bothers with the old man's rudeness. He goes on to say: "Francis..."

But before he could finish his words, the old man interrupted without hesitation: "No, we are not that familiar. It would be more appropriate for you to call me Davico."

Andre had no choice but to change his title: "Okay, Mr. Davico, I won't enter your house, but you just said that I have to abide by your rules, so can you first tell me what they are?" Are there any rules? I don’t want you to drive me out of this forest because I accidentally violated your rules.”

"Oh, about this," Francis didn't say out his so-called rules right away. He looked at Andre up and down, and after a while he said: "Except that you can't enter my house, there are no other rules, right? Now, you'd better not disturb me when I'm in the house. As for the rest, just do whatever you want here."

This actually made Andre breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that the white-haired old man would set some miscellaneous rules for him, which would be really uncomfortable. Now he is just not allowed to enter the small, dilapidated-looking building. Wooden house, such restrictions obviously have no impact on him, and according to Francis, he doesn't seem to control him like a school professor. This is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Andre. He came to the United States. I was prepared to act alone.

The two of them were not very familiar with each other. After talking about the so-called rules, Francis planned to leave Andre here and learn about the house by himself. However, before pushing open the tattered wooden door, he suddenly Thinking of something, he turned around and said: "By the way, I forgot to remind you, you'd better not leave this woods casually. Based on my understanding of the people of the Free Magical Union, although they really don't dare to enter the United States, if It’s for the Holy Acorns, especially the Holy Acorns on a kid like you who has no ability to resist. So no one can guarantee whether they will violate the rules set by the High Table. After all, it is the rule to enter other people’s territory. , even if it is violated, there will not be too serious consequences, but if I successfully get two Holy Acorns from you, the harvest will be very considerable. Of course, I also know that you definitely want to study in the United States. Hunt a suitable magical animal to fuse with the blank sacred acorn in your body, so if you have your own goal, then I will not stop you from leaving here, but you need to bear the consequences yourself."

Andre was a little surprised. Francis didn't seem to care about his safety. But besides that, the high table mentioned in the old man's words made him even more curious. Last Christmas, it was in the garden in front of Granger's house. In , Dumbledore also mentioned this word when confronting Ivan Van Dijk. At that time, he also asked the headmaster, but unfortunately the other party did not tell him what the High Table represented.

"Mr. Davico, can I ask what you mean by the High Table? Is it an organization?" Since the old man in front of him also knew about the existence of the High Table, Andre would certainly not give up the opportunity to ask. .

"Albus didn't tell you?" This question made Francis stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "It seems that he thinks you are not old enough to know about the High Table. Yes, although you have fused two sacred acorns, you have not even touched the threshold of the rules, so you really shouldn't understand the truth of this world too early."

The old man's words undoubtedly made Andre even more confused. Dumbledore also said last time that the reason why Ivan Van Dijk was able to suppress him and Sirius without the help of wands and spells was because It was the power of rules, and he also said that he might be able to reach that level before graduation, but until now, Andre still didn't understand what the rule they were talking about meant. It was Ms. Camille who told him that it came from magic. Rule fragments of the sea?

Francis also continued: "Since Albus doesn't want to tell you about the High Table, then I can't go against his wishes. Although I am actually quite happy to do so, if it makes him angry, then I will Embarrassing, but I can give you a little information. The High Table is indeed an organization, and I, Albus, and the Free Magic Guild mentor who is eyeing you are only existences under the High Table. We must abide by the rules set by the High Table, and if we violate them, we will be punished by the High Table.”

Andre was shocked. He had always thought that his previous guesses were very nonsense. When Dumbledore was talking to Ivan, he vaguely felt that the High Table they talked about still had jurisdiction over them. Dumbledore, as the greatest person in the world, The White Wizard, who else can be more powerful than him?

But before Andre could ask any more questions, Francis no longer paid attention to him. The old man pushed open the wooden door and walked into the hut.

Andre gave a helpless smile. He didn't dare to run into the hut, so he could only find out about the High Table later, or when he really got to what Dumbledore said. In that realm, ask Mr. Principal again.

Mr. Davico had already banned him from entering the cabin to rest, so Andre had to take out his suitcase, but it didn't matter if he just threw it on the ground, so he found a small diameter stone near the cabin. He approached the two-meter redwood tree, and then used the transformation technique to dig out a tree hole at the bottom of the trunk that was just big enough to put the open suitcase in.

Fortunately, he is now in the United States. Otherwise, if he uses magic in such a deserted place, those from the British Ministry of Magic will definitely discover this place based on Zhusi's reaction and send him a warning letter.

Of course, the tree hole created by the transformation spell is not permanent, but for trees like redwoods that do not have magical properties, Andre's magic level is enough to make the transformation spell effective for a week. Anyway, he is here He can only stay here for two months at most, and he has to leave here to capture magical creatures in the meantime, so it is enough to last for a week. If he hasn't left until next week, he can just cast the transformation spell again then. , there is no need to spend time digging out a real tree hole in this big tree.

Since Francis was not going to ignore him, Andre was happy and relaxed. After getting into the suitcase, he went to feed Norberta once. In order to bring the little female dragon to the United States this time, he specially asked Hagrid to help prepare it. It has enough food for two months, but it is worried that it will not be able to find meat after arriving at the destination. After all, Norberta's appetite is getting bigger and bigger as she has entered her youth. Without Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, to watch over her , and captured a lot of prey for it, Andre had no choice but to go to the Muggle world to buy meat.

After feeding Norberta, Andre got out of the suitcase and walked around to get familiar with the environment.

This forest must have been set up by the old man in the wooden house who set a Muggle expulsion spell. At least during the time he was wandering around, he didn't see a single figure. He didn't know why Dumbledore's old friend would live in seclusion. Such a place.

However, except for the fact that there are no human figures, there seems to be nothing magical here. Unlike the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, where a large number of magical species live, but in this redwood forest The flora and fauna are all common native North American creatures.

On the other hand, at the edge of the woods, Andre could see a village about a few kilometers away, which should be a Muggle settlement.

After roughly understanding the surrounding environment, he returned to the small house Hagrid built for him in the suitcase and prepared to cook himself a dinner. It was already getting dark.

After he and the little witch developed the special potion of the Acromantula at Hogwarts and determined that it would come to the United States during the summer vacation, Andre naturally made preparations for it.

There are many well-known magical animals in North America, but not many of them meet his requirements. After all, he even gave up Dumbledore's Fawkes.

If you want to get a magical animal with characteristics that are not inferior to those of the Fire Dragon, especially the Hungarian Horntail Dragon, then there is no doubt that the Thunderbird is the best choice.

This kind of magical animal, which is rated as dangerous at the XXXX level by the Ministry of Magic, is a specialty of Arizona, USA. They are born with the ability to summon thunder and lightning and affect the weather. Andre also knew that Grindelwald had not been imprisoned in New York yet. Before Mungard, his senior student from Hogwarts, Mr. Newt Scamander, once used the magic of Thunderbird to cast an oblivion spell on an entire city of New York.

Moreover, the core of his own ebony wand came from the Thunderbird.

It's just that hunting down the thunderbird is much more difficult than when he and Sophia ambush the fire dragon in Hungary.

The number of this magical animal is much rarer than that of fire dragons. Andre doesn't care about the protection laws of the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Anyway, after he obtains the Thunderbird properties, he will return immediately and prepare to return to the UK. As long as it is not If someone catches you, there's nothing to fear.

Just wanting to find a ptarmigan in the vast Arizona is not something he could do with his previous method of waiting and hunting fire dragons.

So recently, Andre has been studying the living habits of thunderbirds, hoping to find a way to find their habitat in a short time.

Unfortunately, there are too few records about this large bird, and he didn't get much information in the Hogwarts library. Instead, it was in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Mr. Scamander. There are the most descriptions, but those descriptions did not give him much help.

"It seems that we can only take one step at a time." After dinner, he went through the notes he had compiled again. Andre could only sigh and said to himself: "Anyway, we will be ready in a few days." Tell that Mr. Davico, and then set off to Arizona to try your luck. If you can't find the Thunderbird within a week, then return here first, and then decide what other magical creature characteristics to replace it with."

Although he regarded the thunderbird as his first target, Andre certainly would not decide to die on such a big bird. Moreover, Francis also warned him today that the people of the Free Magic Union may not really be able to kill him. Entering the United States, he set a time for himself. If he couldn't find the thunderbird within a week, then to be safe, he would return to the redwood forest first and decide on the second target at that time.

As for what he has to do in the past few days, of course he is not just sitting in the suitcase and resting like this, but studying how to use the Thunderbird's magic agent to brew a potion.

At this point, the books he found before were of great help. At least those materials recorded in detail which organs produced the Thunderbird's magical properties. Based on this information, he could follow the eight research methods he and the little witch studied. Based on his experience as a giant-eyed spider, he has calculated the appropriate potion formula.

Of course, this is not a job that can be completed in one day. He must carefully calculate the proportion of each material and the conflict with the Thunderbird's magical properties.

This is why he has to wait a few days before setting off. If the formula for this special potion is not found, then even if he goes to Arizona immediately and is lucky enough to hunt a ptarmigan, it will have no effect.

The special potion must be brewed within five hours after the death of the magical animal. This is a rule that he cannot change. Even with the best preservation methods, the fundamental magical properties deeply rooted in the magical animal cannot be It will dissipate, which has no effect on brewing other magic potions, or alchemy props, or even making wands. However, it is completely unacceptable for the special potions used for magical Animagus transformation. Once If the main material exceeds the time limit, even if it is only one or two minutes, the consequence will be failure.

However, after the last experience, Andre was very confident in deducing the characteristic potion of Thunderbird. After all, the efforts during that period were not in vain.

The only question is whether he will be so lucky to find a ptarmigan in Arizona during the next trip. As long as there are no accidents, then the plan for this summer vacation will be successfully completed and integrated. After the Thunderbird trait, not to mention Dumbledore or Ivan Van Dijk, who are obviously stronger than ordinary wizards, at least he is confident that he can easily defeat senior Aurors like Sirius or Moody.
