The young Professor Dongfang walked up the slope and greeted Dumbledore warmly: "Principal Dumbledore, I am Durmstrang's new black magic professor Ang Chen..."
Dumbledore nodded and replied: "Welcome, friends of Durmstrang, Hogwarts treats every friend who comes from afar... May the little wizards of Durmstrang gain friendship here. "
"There is still knowledge..." Chen Ang added with a smile.
Dumbledore laughed: "Yes, and knowledge!"
"Chen..." Dumbledore turned back and asked in a low voice, "Can I call you that? I remember that your oriental people's names often come after you, so you should be called...Chen Ang?" Chen Ang nodded, and Dumbledore smiled Said: "I know this secret from the pronunciation of your name. Among my students is a third-year Ravenclaw witch... She should be the same as you. You are all Chinese."
Chen Ang nodded slightly, but he was thinking in his heart, has this old bee really set his sights on him
"Is Professor Igor okay?" Dumbledore asked: "He asked someone to contact me, but he didn't show up about the communication between our two schools. This time I thought he would come in person..."
"Principal Igor is inconvenient." Chen Ang replied: "You should know that recently there have been rumors that Voldemort has returned. The Death Eaters are moving around. Professor Igor felt very disturbed and reduced his walking. The Death Eaters hate him to the bone, but London is the stronghold of the Death Eaters... So Headmaster Dumbledore, you must not see him stepping into London!"
Dumbledore stopped, looked at Chen Ang's calm expression, his eyes were a bit deep, he pondered for a while like an old man, as if he was remembering, and he sighed after a long time: "Igor...Professor Igor went over Had a bad experience, but he made the right choice. He should have been here!"
Chen Ang said lightly: "People are always responsible for what they have done... No one can escape this."
Dumbledore invited Durmstrang's exchange students to live in the Hogwarts dormitory, but Chen Ang politely refused. He transformed the boat they drove into a villa, and brought Durmstrang The students lived in, and Harry heard Professor McGonagall whispering to Dumbledore: "That is a very difficult transfiguration..."
Seemingly noticing that Harry was listening, she added something more: "The larger the shape-shifting object, the more mana it takes. Very few people can conjure a house in one go... very few!"
Dumbledore laughed softly, "Professor Minerva is one of them..."
"I can do it, but the difficulty of the spell has nothing to do with the magic power consumed." Professor McGonagall was silent for a long time, and then added: "Without the help of runes and potions, I can't last long."
Harry couldn't hear behind him, so Ron pulled him over and heard him whisper, "I see Viktor Krum."
"Who?" Harry asked back.
"Viktor Krum, the new Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team... People say he is the most talented Seeker ever for the Bulgarian team, a future star, although he is not yet So famous but acclaimed, maybe I can ask him for an autograph."
Ron said with emotion: "Their red robes are much more conspicuous than our black robes..."
When they went down to have breakfast the next day, they found that the hall had been decorated overnight. Huge silk banners hung down from the wall. On the left were the representative colors of Hogwarts, a red golden lion and a green silver snake. , the blue golden eagle, and the yellow black badger all surround Hogwarts, forming the destruction of Hogwarts.
On the right is the double-headed eagle emblem representing Slavic and Northern Europe, and even Germany, with its wings spread, and the goat skull representing black magic underneath, which together form the emblem representing Durmstrang.
Harry and Ron saw the exchange students from Durmstrang on the Gryffindor table. They had already taken off their heavy leather coats, revealing their blood-red robes. He would greet them warmly, but for some reason Harry couldn't forget the pale and dead faces he saw on the boat.
Chen Ang and Dumbledore were sitting at the staff desk. He had met most of the Hogwarts professors yesterday, but because it was night, they only met in a hurry, so Chen Ang had to take the students back. Well, this time sitting at the staff desk with most of the professors at Hogwarts, I was able to get in touch with them more deeply.
The task of the Lord God was completed as early as last night when he met Dumbledore.
It seems that the main god has no specific requirements on how to 'enter' Hogwarts. Even if Chen Ang is just a professor from another school who came to communicate, he has reached the minimum bottom line for completing this task.
On his left is Dumbledore, and on his right is Snape, an old bat. Although Chen Ang is not very particular, Dumbledore, an old bee, arranges a bat that likes to spray poison and does not care about space. Is it really appropriate to be next to guests? Hermione discovered this problem, she bowed her head and whispered to Harry, "That Professor Durmstrang seems a little uncomfortable sitting next to Professor Snape."
Ron gloated, "Nobody wants to sit next to that greasy old bat."
Dumbledore seemed to have noticed a 'cane' in the hands of each of Durmstrang's exchange students. It was as tall as the chest of Durmstrang's strong, bear-like wizard, and as thick as a duck's egg. It's actually a stick, the color of a log... This thing is not light, it's actually made of iron birch.
The kind of wood used to replace steel in the Muggle world used to make ball bearings, and they were all good things produced on the cold plateau of Siberia.
Dumbledore even noticed that Durmstrang's wizards had a thick layer of calluses on their tiger's mouths. Even the witches, under their youthful and beautiful appearances, had thick thighs and arms full of muscle bumps, especially Their leader, Viktor Krum, walked with a stick for Muggles who knew Eastern martial arts to see, and the appointed party exclaimed: "This must be a stick technique to the bone!"
Dumbledore didn't have any martial arts attainments, but he wasn't a fool either. Of course, he could see the audacity of these Slavic barbarians.
He asked in a low voice: "Professor Chen, I wonder what the students in Durmstrang are holding?"
Chen Ang smiled and said: "That's their new wand... Durmstrang is launching a reform campaign. We have noticed that wizards rely on wands, which may be abnormal. Most wizards do not have the help of wands now. Almost no magic is used anymore. The wand was meant to be a secondary tool... We realized that this tool might be suppressing the potential of wizards."
"Especially when young wizards are growing up, the help of wands can become dependent, leading to a decline in the wizard's ability to control and stabilize magic. This worries us. It is worth noting that only European wizards use wands, located in The uagadou school of magic in Africa does not use wands, but uses gestures to steadily release the magic of the spell."
"This may be directly related to the amazing transformation talent of the students of the Waggadu School of Magic. According to our follow-up research, the students of Waggadu have performed well in spells that require control and stability. This problem has never been solved. It was discovered that they cast spells without wands, and therefore performed less well in spells that required control than we did with wands."
"But it can only be manifested in magic that cannot be assisted by a wand, such as the self-transfiguration Animagus. The performance at the recent International Animagus Conference can be seen. Those fourteen-year-old boys Witches and witches, scaring the adult wizards of Europe!"
"This deserves our attention." Dumbledore's face became serious, and he whispered: "This is a valuable discovery... But the connection between wizards and wands is very complicated, and there is a connection between every wand and wizards." Intensely connected, first by mutual attraction, then by mutual adaptation, in which the wand learns from the wizard, and the wizard learns from the wand."
"Yes." Chen Ang nodded and said: "Without the guidance of the magic wand, when the wizard grows, the riot in magic power cannot be relieved. We have noticed that the process of communication between the magic wand and the wizard plays an important role in the growth of the wizard's magic power. .”
"So while we're keeping the traditional wands that the students have, we're looking for alternatives."
Dumbledore's eyes sparkled, and he asked curiously, "Did you find it?"
Chen Ang nodded: "I found it. The gemstones made of magic materials are also very communicative with wizards. Crystals of various colors and different gemstones also have the same complex 'personality' as wands, which are very suitable for mutual attraction with wizards. We Uniform uses the most stubborn wood, iron birch, as the material of the wand, and its characteristics are well-known for its stubbornness and stability, which can exercise the magic control of casting spells while maintaining the effect of dispelling the magic power of the wand."
"Then gems are inlaid on the head of the wand, and the ability of the wand and the wizard to learn and communicate with each other is replaced by gems."
"Finally, gestures are used to assist spellcasting. Those complicated magic spells that require the assistance of a wand will be cast by gestures and wands. For this reason, we have specially developed a set of one-handed gestures to match this wand to cast spells."
"We're even developing a ritual to get wizards to focus and communicate with their wands and gems to be more active and communicative with their wands, which includes a full set of maintenance wands (gems), burning incense, bathing, dressing, calming the mind and meditation The ceremony. Preliminary experiments, the effect is good."
