Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

At this time, the sun was setting and the moon was rising, and a lonely figure was walking in the cold and windy Forbidden Forest.

Rollo walked with some difficulty on a hidden forest path. Fortunately, the moonlight illuminated his way tonight, so that he would not get lost in the dense forest covered with snow.

The original half-hour journey took him almost twice as long. After pushing aside the dense tall shrubs in front of him, flat grass and snow-covered wooden walls appeared in front of him.

"It's so late, why did you come here alone?"

As soon as Rollo got out of the bush wall, the centaur sentry stepping on the snow easily came to him and held out his right hand.

"Thank you, Orff, I have something to ask Setina."

"Oh, that's it." Sentinel Orff nodded and pulled Rollo out with force, "Setina is helping the foals brew cold-repellent potions these days. You can do it later. Go have a drink and warm yourself up."

He patted Rollo on the shoulder, "You don't have our warm furs on your body, and a cloak can't protect you from too much cold."

"Come with me quickly. It's very windy outside. Once inside the wall, there will be no wind."

Orff, who continued to stand guard in the cold wind, said goodbye to Rollo at the gate. This time when he entered the centaurs tribe, there were far fewer centaurs walking around visible to the naked eye. Their houses were lit with warm firelight. The sound of a foal playing could be heard in the house.

The waterfall has not yet frozen, but the coldness brought by the water mist is even worse than before. Rollo, who was shivering from the cold, quickly crossed the stone road next to the waterfall pool and walked into the mountain with blue torches. wall tunnel.

“Tuk Tuk Tuk~”

Rollo knocked on the door.

"You are, come in quickly."

Setina's soft call came with a little surprise, and the moment she opened the door, a warm fragrance blew into her face.

"Nice to meet you."

Setina, who was still holding a wooden spoon in her hand, stepped forward and gently gave Rollo a hug.

"Woo~"

Rollo, who was out of breath, let out a groan. When he looked up, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the naughty smile flashing from the corner of Setina's mouth.

"You are trying to seduce me into committing a crime, big sister."

Rollo rolled his eyes, but did not resist such an action.

"Here, this is a cold-warming soup prepared for the little pony. As long as you drink it for three days, your body will be warm even when the dripping water turns to ice. Ever since a senior developed this soup, many people have suffered misfortune during the long cold winter. There are almost no foals left.”

"Winter in the Forbidden Forest is much colder than outside. As long as the cold wind blows, the boiling water on the bonfire outside will also be covered with a layer of ice. You should be careful in the future."

"um. Thank you."

Rollo held a wooden bowl and took a few sips of the warm sweet soup. Although it was slightly bitter, it had more of a warm and sweet taste.

"You added honey?"

Rollo asked curiously as he handed the empty bowl to Cetina.

"Well, it's the honey I gave to Hagrid and you last time. There is a group of phantom bees in the northeast of the Forbidden Forest. They can't be seen at all during the day. You can only hear their buzzing sound, and you only have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. It took a long tailed bear to find the location of their hive, so I followed them quietly and brought back some honey."

"Do you like it? I can bring more back to you next year. Drinking this honey regularly will make your skin more shiny."

"Maybe one day I will shine when I stand in the sun?" Rollo's lips raised slightly, "That way you can see me at a glance in the crowd, right!"

"Why not?"

Setina rubbed Rollo's little head, which felt great.

"Let's talk about it."

Rollo, who was a little dizzy from the dazzling scene in front of him, quickly stopped. He pulled Setina to the bedside, and then took out a magic crystal flower and a bottle of sphinx protected by a special container from his pocket. The blood of the Manticore, a special container that prevents the magic of its blood from dissipating, is a good thing Rollo borrowed from Snape.

"I discovered something strange, so I wanted to ask you."

Luo Luo quickly made the magic crystal flower absorb the blood and produce a small magic seed.

"Setina, you said before that the way you borrowed power seeds to use them was to 'temporarily fuse' them, right?"

"That's right." Setina nodded, "It's like wearing a layer of clothes. With the help of the seeds of power, I can temporarily use their innate abilities."

"I encountered something during my previous cross-species reproduction experiment."

Rollo told in detail what happened after Hagrid blew away the magic seeds and turned them into mist.

"Although I absorbed part of the magic mist and felt something strange about me, this change seemed to be suppressed by something. It disappeared as soon as it appeared. I don't know if this is similar to the way you use seeds. The place."

"I want you to help me take a look."

"Then what are you going to do?" Setina asked.

"I would like to ask you to drink the magic developing potion, then use this power, and finally compare it with the changes in my body to see if there are any similarities."

"I asked Professor Snape to help me brew the potion, but I didn't add any weird ingredients. Although I am a master in potions, I always have a bit of a bad taste, and my habit is not to mention the taste. But there are some fancy things added to the potion to make it taste extremely horrible."

"Is it really that serious?" Although the expression on Rollo's face cannot be faked, Cetina was still a little doubtful. After all, such extraneous things are just adding trouble.

"I drank a special magic developing potion before, and my sense of taste was almost destroyed..."

Luo Luo couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the terrible unspeakable pain.

"Then how did you do that?"

Setina cautiously glanced at the small medicine bottle in Rollo's hand, and she suddenly felt a little panicked.

"I promised him to work hard to get him a drop of blood voluntarily donated by unicorns for him to study. Although I have not come into contact with the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest so far, I hope they will not ignore death... ..”

Rollo, who had no idea about this, shrugged. Anyway, he had to do everything he could and left it to fate, and he couldn't guarantee 100% that he would get it.

"Unicorns are a group of cute horses. I have a good relationship with them. I can take you to meet them if you are free."

Setina took the small bottle of medicine and took a small sip of the magic developing potion. The magic potion that took effect immediately caused Setina's body surface to glow with a layer of light blue shimmer, which was also mixed with With a little green.

The seeds symbolizing the power of the unicorn were held in the palm of Setina's hand. As this wonderful magic was used, the melted seeds seemed to be integrated into Setina's body, but in fact they were not absorbed and mixed with The tender green light in the light blue becomes rich at this moment. The unicorn's magic power is a coat shimmering with gold and silver, and between it and Setina's blue magic power, the tender green magic power becomes a thin film.

Visible to the naked eye, the light blue magic power is constantly being consumed, seemingly transformed by the green magic coating, and then injected into the gold and silver coat.

The unicorn's innate magic was driven at this moment and turned into a power that Setina could use and control.

"Is that so?"

Rollo touched his chin and fell into thought, "That's why wizards can't use this magic, right? We don't have the green magic power, and we can't transform our own magic power to drive the magic power and magic of other lives."

"That's right, that's right."

A small sip of the magic developing potion has limited efficacy. Setina, who is no longer glowing, is a little tired. The magic power consumed by such a transformation will increase exponentially, and turning it on for a long time is something she cannot do now.

"Then it's my turn now."

Rollo drank the remaining magic developing potion, then took out his wand and pointed it at the magic seed.

He couldn't blow it into mist like Hagrid, but Rollo could still do it in a similar way.

Without activating any magic spell, a simple surge of magic power poured out from the tip of the staff, instantly hitting the magic seed and shattering it into thick mist.

Rollo pushed his hand inside, and the cold touch appeared again, but what happened to him was completely different from Setina.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for two magic powers from different sources to fuse together smoothly. The method used by Luoluo and others to cultivate a hybrid between a manticore and a fire crab is to devour small amounts and multiple times, thereby creating a manticore with a manticore and a fire crab. The tailed beast's magic power 'pollutes' the fire crab's eggs, causing the eggs that have swallowed the magic power to possess the characteristics of the two creatures before they are hatched and formed, thereby affecting its subsequent growth and shaping.

Koro presents a very different picture indeed.

The magic power of each creature is slightly different. Although the main body is mostly blue (unicorns are gold and silver mixed), there are many subtle differences in the blue background. Setina is mixed. A little green, and the manticore has a hint of black and green.

But Rollo is different. This guy's chaotic bloodline is mixed with countless recorded and unrecorded bloodlines. Although under the influence of the magic developing potion, it looks pure and untainted light blue at first glance, but if you look at it with your eyes, If you do, a chaotic, chaotic but orderly colorful scene will dazzle your eyes.

Obviously, the manticore with some black and green magic power was swallowed up without any resistance after touching Rollo, and became one of the thousands of colorful threads without any resistance.

The suppressed feeling comes from the 'expansion' of one of the filaments. After swallowing the magic power of the same source, it seems to have the idea of ​​​​standing out among the thousands of filaments.

But before it could move, the filaments that had just become slightly plump were stripped of their excess strength and returned to order.

Just like whacking a mole, any thread that tries to come forward will be knocked away by a hammer and the prototype will be dispersed. Perhaps it is because of the existence of this mechanism that the Beifeng family, as the ultimate hybrid species, can maintain its current status. rather than becoming a strange existence that cannot be described in appearance.

After describing her discovery to Setina once again, the centaur girl also fell into deep thought.

This was beyond her understanding. She really couldn't give Rolo any clear and effective help on this matter.

"But I remembered something."

After thinking for a while, Setina sang about what happened in the past. The history books of the centaurs were compiled from poems.

"Before tens of thousands of moons rose, this free forest was full of struggle and turmoil. Wizards could not tame them, and centaurs could not pacify them. Unrestrainedness is the nature given to all things by nature, but chaos also arises from this."

"But at this time when order had not been established, a king of the forest came here. He defeated all those who dared to provoke with his struggle, but he was not a cruel ruler. Under his weaving, the forest had its original Order, the creatures divided the territory and gave the most fertile to him. Countless treasures from the tribute became his throne, and his people also took root here."

"The sparks no longer flicker and change, and the intermittent battles have subsided. Hunters are still looking for prey, but they no longer kill for fun. Weak creatures can grow stronger, and the vitality of prosperity is overflowing here."

"He is the herder of Mother Nature. Only order can keep all creatures alive."

"Rollo, isn't this what your current situation is like? The messy threads weave into the real you, and what protects everything is your everlasting heart."

"The suppressed power is to maintain a stable order, just like a hunter who has given up killing for fun. Order and stability make the forest prosperous."

"What if he disappears while sitting on the throne?"

"Then the chaos will continue, but the remaining order will not make the forest return to its former appearance instantly. The collapse of order will take time. That is the remaining power of the king, and when he appears again, the broken order will also be restored in an instant. Repair completed.”

"If I want to release this pent-up power, then I need to let the king who controls everything step down from the throne and let go of this restraint, right?"

"If the king can return safely, then yes, then yes."

The two of them had a surprisingly tacit understanding while playing riddles. Setina didn't know what Rollo was going to do, but she thought this answer seemed correct and helpful.

"I understand."

Luo Luo nodded, "It seems that I need to work hard. I don't know if the remaining half a year will be enough..."

"Thank you, Setina, you helped me a lot again."

Cetina nodded with a smile on her face, "This is best."

"So are you going back to the castle now?"

It's getting late now, and the little wizard should go back to the lounge to reserve enough energy for tomorrow's study.

"If you don't go back, I'll stay with you today."

Luo Lei, who didn't want to go back in the cold wind, shook his head, then stood up quickly and opened the small door of the bathroom next to him.

"Why go out to have a nice shower when you have a hot spring bath, right?"

Setina, who didn't mind this, got up and found a soft, thick blanket and put it on the bed. In the middle of the night when the fire was dim, nothing could be warmer than this newly woven soft blanket.

"Setina?"

"I am here."

"Where's the shower gel? Do you have anything similar?"

"I'll get it for you. There are fruits from the fragrant pod tree. Do you want me to rub your back?"

"Thank you, but why do you still have a steel ball in your hand?"

"The thing that rubs the back is the dried vines."

"It turns out this is...hiss~~~lightly..."

"Hey, Luo Luo, you are so dirty, your back is covered with mud."

"This is normal skin metabolism, who can live without it, right?"

"Hmph~ I didn't. You were just making excuses for not liking bathing."

"Then give me the ball."

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course it's a flipping ride.... Oh, it's really not there? I don't believe it!"

"Don't make trouble...ah~ You can't do it here, it's so itchy..."

"The chick is showing its black feet, isn't it? Watch the trick!"

"What does it mean?"

"Just because of something, you don't have to worry about it."

——Harmonious dividing line——

So far all night without words.
