Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 141 Magic Garden

The carriage took a long time to reach its destination.

The competition venue is outside the magic garden of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association, and this competition is also organized by the Extraordinary Apothecary Association, the International Federation of Wizards and various magic schools.

There are many precious herbs in the magic garden that are difficult to see in the outside world, so the garden is hidden by magic.

In order to guard against certain criminals, the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists also asked Nico Flamel to use alchemy and a variety of precious materials to build layers of protection around the perimeter.

These defenses are based on the Fairy Fire of Gubler, with special alchemical runes engraved inside, allowing them to exist almost permanently as long as they have sufficient magic power and are not damaged by the outside world.

In order to obtain Nico Flamel's help, the Association of Extraordinary Apothecaries and the International Federation of Wizards jointly signed a magical contract with Nico.

As long as these two organizations still exist, Nico, his descendants, and apprentices can enter the magic garden and obtain a certain amount of materials every year.

As for more content in the contract, Dumbledore did not mention it to Harley, and Harley did not ask.

When the carriage flew into the air at a certain location, the surrounding scene suddenly rotated and then returned to normal.

At this time, Harry was drinking tea and chatting with Nico and Professor Dumbledore in the common room of the carriage.

Nico looked out the window at the distorted scene for a moment, and sighed softly: "We have entered the magic garden.

It's incredible. I still can't understand this alchemy. I can't figure out what magic makes the entrance appear. "

"Isn't this arranged by you?" Harley seemed to have heard some terrible news and quickly asked for advice.

"I arranged the perimeter protection, but I did not arrange the entrance." Nico shook his head.

“I originally wanted to follow the example of Azkaban Prison in the UK and set up specific door keys to enter and exit the magical garden.

However, the Extraordinary Apothecary Association came up with some alchemical items made by the dwarf tribe, which spatially connected several specific locations with locations outside the magic garden.

Before they used these alchemical items, I studied them carefully, but I couldn't restore them even with my ability. "

"I can't even restore your abilities!" Harley was a little shocked, but deep down she wasn't that surprised.

She seemed to have remembered something and asked softly: "What if this alchemy item is damaged? Wouldn't it be irreparable?"

Professor Dumbledore laughed: "In fact, the effect of this alchemical item has been weakening.

The entrances connected to places in the magic garden are slowly decreasing and shrinking, and the existing entrances are becoming unstable.

Some alchemy items are also damaged, and the magic power injected into them is being lost.

A few years ago, the Extraordinary Apothecary Association asked Nico and I to conduct research to see if these alchemical items could be repaired. "

"and then?"

"There's nothing we can do." Professor Dumbledore shrugged.

"Although I got the inheritance of those dwarfs, I still can't do anything." Nico took a sip of tea, his voice was very calm,

"But this is not a big problem. Once those alchemy items are completely damaged, just use the entry and exit method I provided.

At that time, I can also take the alchemy items over and study them, and then take them apart and think about them carefully. "

……

The carriage quickly landed on the ground.

Ms. Maxim took out her magic wand and waved it, and the golden spiral staircase appeared.

Fleur had returned to Madam Maxime's side, while Harry followed Professor Dumbledore.

After getting off the carriage, Harley noticed a village in front of her.

A wizard stood at the entrance to the village, holding a form and a wand.

"Beauxbatons and Hogwarts? Are there any potions masters who are qualified to watch the games? Please register."

The wizard came forward with a smile and spoke respectfully to the two principals in French.

After completing the registration, the wizard who led the way led everyone to the residence provided by the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, while introducing the village on the way.

Fortunately, almost everyone in the team knew French. The only one who didn't know the language that well, Professor Snape, also brought the translation equipment provided by Professor Dumbledore.

"I don't know how other magic schools solve the translation problem." Harley whispered in Fleur's ear in French.

"Who knows? Muggle society does this well. At least according to my understanding, English seems to be the international language.

I don’t know if French is an international language. ” Fleur replied in English.

After practicing for a whole year, there is no communication barrier between the two.

But it seems that they may need to take out their translation equipment again. After all, there are several guide signs on the road with unfamiliar words written on them.

When passing a certain sign, Harley's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she quietly slowed down and completely wrote down the content on the sign before catching up with the large group.

"Why did you fall behind just now?" When Harley slowed down her pace, Fleur also slowed down slightly to ensure that she could still lead the way when Harley was too far away from the main force.

"Nothing, I saw a strange text and I'm a little interested." Harley replied softly.

Soon, everyone arrived at a bar.

A delicate plaque hangs outside the pub that reads "House of Potions".

"The contestants and team teachers will live here during the competition. Potion masters can also choose to live here if they don't have real estate here."

The wizard who led the way said respectfully.

Many houses in the villages outside the magic garden are owned by potion masters. However, those potion masters themselves have extremely high achievements and have contributed extraordinary skills, so they were able to obtain some houses in exchange.

Although the masters only have the right to live in these houses and do not have the right to sell them, nor can they pass them on to their apprentices or descendants, they still make the potion masters yearn for them.

You know, being able to live in a village outside the magic garden is an affirmation of their strength!

The teams at Hogwarts and Beauxbatons were separated. As for the Potions Masters who took a ride, most of them had already left alone when they landed.

"Albus, do you want to stay with me?" Professor Slughorn asked,

"I still have a house here, but I haven't been there for a long time."

"No, Severus and I will take Harry to live here and let her interact with her peers more."

"Okay then," Professor Slughorn conjured up a piece of parchment with a small map on it.

"I live at the location marked in red on the map. There's still a week until the competition starts. Harley, you can come to my place for a final warm-up before the competition."

Harley nodded in agreement, but her mind was still thinking about another thing.

The waiter in the bar led everyone upstairs and into their own rooms.

Before entering the room, Harry pulled out a piece of paper as if by accident, wrote a few words on it and asked the waiter:

"Excuse me, what text is this?"

"This is Japanese. This line of text is the road sign that guides the Japanese magic school." The waiter glanced at the sign and answered in English proficiently.

"Thank you very much." Harley thanked him softly and closed the door.
