From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Next, the top scorers in the third grade and above chose to give up the leapfrog challenge.

It's really because the third grader who is number one in the standings has dueled with every number one in the standings except first grade and seventh grade. These number ones in the third grade and above passed Xiwen's Every time there is a duel, you can see the gap between yourself and the first place in the next level.

Moreover, even the third-grade wizards can complete such wonderful duels. If they, the seniors, can't do it, wouldn't it make people laugh? Not even if they are already being laughed at because they were defeated by a third grader!

So in this monthly duel competition, Sivan finally obtained many bottles of Professor Slughorn's potions, some of Professor Kettleburn's magical animal materials, a dozen of Professor Beerley's herbal medicines, and several library records. The borrowing permission in the restricted area has come to an end.

……

After the duel competition ended, the professors chanted spells on the seven duel platforms and were easily placed under the floor of the auditorium. Immediately, the four long college tables pushed to the wall quickly gathered back to the center of the auditorium, and the tabletops were covered with tablecloths representing the four colors of the college.

Then a group of house elves appeared in the auditorium with a "bang bang" Apparition sound, and used extremely fast speed to put away the unsightly cutlery, forks and dishes that had been ruined by Sivan's transformation spell, and replaced them with new ones. A batch of brand new tableware.

Xiwen saw that the house elf he was most familiar with, Budi, cast a somewhat "resentful" look at him, which made him feel guilty and laughed dryly at the group of house elves...

The dinner at Hogwarts was as sumptuous as ever, but Xiven was not in the mood to eat.

He made a big splash in this duel.

There is a high probability that Slytherin students are egoistic in nature, and even if they are not, they are rarely affected by egoistic parents. Many of them regard making friends as an investment, and prefer to find friends with power, authority, and authority. Make friends with powerful or potential young wizards.

However, Xiwen, the heir to the Rozier family, has taken advantage of all three of these points...

Therefore, at the long table of Slytherin, there were many students who wanted to get close to him. Even with a very blunt excuse, they came over to congratulate him on winning many duels. This kind of scene made Xiwen unable to concentrate on eating dinner.

In the meantime, even Dean Slughorn came over. On the one hand, he congratulated Sivan on his good results in the duel competition, and on the other hand, he gave him the promised reward.

Sivan discovered a lot of magic restoration potions from the potions brought by Professor Slughorn, which made him feel a little better.

But after the professor left, the Slytherin students gathered around him again, which made him extremely depressed.

At this time, Miranda walked over from the Ravenclaw table, looked at the circle of students around Xiwen who were lassoing him, and asked teasingly: "Did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, Miranda, you came at the right time!" As if he had met a savior, Sivan quickly stood up from the Slytherin table and followed Miranda out of the auditorium.

Although the Slytherin students were a little dissatisfied with Miranda's cutting off, they were the president of the Hogwarts Student Union this year and also ranked first in the seventh-grade duel standings. They could neither suppress her power in school nor match her dueling prowess, so they had no choice but to let it go...

……

In the entrance courtyard of Hogwarts Castle, the moonlight is like a ray of light and the stars are like grazing stars.

The moon was still a full full moon a few nights ago, but tonight it has waned and become a half-full gibbous moon, but it still looks very bright.

The faint moonlight shines on the railings beside the courtyard corridor, covering Miranda's long light gray hair with a layer of silver gauze.

"You seem a little disappointed that you didn't end up in this fight with me?" Miranda stood under the silver moonlight and asked with a smile.

"I must be a little disappointed. After all, there are not many opportunities to be mentored by the No. 1 seventh grade duel player." Xiwen also laughed and replied casually. "I never expected that a friend of mine would become the uncrowned king of Hogwarts dueling prowess!"

"What uncrowned king, where did you come up with such a strange word?" Miranda said with a smile. "After all, I'm already in the seventh grade, so it's not surprising to be the first. But you, a little wizard from the third grade challenged me all the way to the sixth grade, and you almost came to the seventh grade duel stage and beat me!"

"I've been worried for a long time that you would knock me out of office, and then I wouldn't be able to keep my face as the president of the student union!" she joked. "Tell me, are you more like the 'Uncrowned King' of Hogwarts than me?"

"My actual combat application is only slightly better than theirs, so it's not worth mentioning!" Xiwen said with a smile and shook his head. "Now a huge disaster is coming around the world. The more we can improve our strength, the more we will be able to protect ourselves."

"Are you talking about the war started by Grindelwald?" Miranda asked softly as she didn't know about Death and thought Sivan was talking about the recent war. "Speaking of this, Principal Dippet has the idea of ​​letting us seventh-year students of Hogwarts join the alliance of the International Federation of Wizards."

"He thinks that we are adults after all, and we need to shoulder the important responsibility of protecting the magic world."

"Let you join the coalition against the Wu Cui Party?!" Xiwen opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but ask in a louder voice.

"Shh... keep your voice down!" Miranda glanced in the direction of the auditorium and found that no one was paying attention, so she continued. "The principal also knows that this idea will cause great controversy, so he has only told a few of our seventh-grade prefects and has not informed other seventh-grade students for the time being."

"Such a decision will definitely arouse opposition from a large number of parents, especially those pure-blood families of Slytherin House who have a strong say in society." When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Xiwen. "This will put a lot of pressure on Hogwarts, but our joining will definitely add a lot of new strength to the International Federation of Wizards."

Xiven didn't react to the words of the pure-blood family of Slytherin College, and just frowned silently.

"What do you think of this plan?" He looked at Miranda's beautiful blue eyes behind the lenses and asked softly.

"Actually, I really want to go to the battlefield and experience it." Miranda's tone was very soft, but very firm.

"Why is this?" Xiwen asked in surprise. "You should know that the battlefield is very dangerous, right?"

"Yeah, I know," Miranda said. "But this kind of danger between life and death cannot be encountered all the time. I must seize this opportunity!"

"For the study of magic, the more knowledge you learn and the deeper the field you study, the more you will feel your ant-like insignificance in front of the vast magic."

"I used to specialize in magic spells, but after learning more and more spells, I felt like I had hit a bottleneck. No matter how many uncommon spells I learned, I could not improve my strength to the next step."

"So I dispersed my energy and studied transfiguration, herbalism, protection of magical animals, etc. I even studied black magic for a period of time. The Bat Spirit Curse was created during the time when I was studying black magic. came out. But I still feel that my magical path is getting narrower and narrower, as if there is an invisible wall blocking me."

"But in fact, your ability is far beyond that of ordinary wizards, Miranda." Sivan said softly.

"But my target is an existence at Dumbledore's level, Sivan." Miranda sighed lightly and said angrily. "I hate magic, something that relies entirely on talent! It seems that if you are not born with a talent like Dumbledore, you are destined to be impossible to become a top wizard like him."

Speaking of which, Miranda is indeed very smart and talented, otherwise she would not have been able to become the top scorer in the seventh-grade duel competition.

But at the same time, her talent is not that strong, and she is far less outstanding than Dumbledore, Grindelwald or even Riddle. This innate problem limited her development, and this problem also trapped many outstanding wizards in history.

Xiwen opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Can you tell her that you can increase the upper limit of your own bloodline by fusing the blood curse? Stop making trouble, the risk of this kind of bloodline fusion is much greater than going to the battlefield!

Or maybe tell her that your current achievements are already quite good and you don’t need to work any harder? But with Miranda's pride, how could she succumb to this inherent threshold?

"Did I talk a little too much today?" Before Xiwen could comfort her, Miranda came to her senses first and blinked, as if she had regained her usual confident look. "I just expressed my feelings. Thank you for listening, Xiwen."

"Let's talk about it later when we get the chance. We should go back to the common room."

After that, without waiting for Xiwen's reply, she walked straight onto the stone bridge from the entrance courtyard to the teaching area, and walked towards Ravenclaw Tower.

"Wait a minute!" Xiwen gritted his teeth and finally shouted.

Miranda turned back to look at Xiwen, her eyes were red at this moment.

Xiwen looked at Miranda's reddish eyes, made up his mind, and shouted loudly:

"Miranda, if you want to learn animagus one day, remember to tell me first!"
