I’m a Master of Magical Beasts at Hogwarts

Travel through the world of Harry Potter and have a little world of your own.

It can also store various magical animals in the small world, and can also borrow the power of various magical animals!

From then on, Li Xuan embarked on a journey of no return to collect magical animals, including the greedy Niffler, the thunderbird that controls lightning and soars into the sky, bird snakes of any size, the invisible beast that can predict the future, the ball bird that can teleport, and the mighty and powerful fire dragon…

Newt Scamander: “He is the new era’s magical beast master!”

Dumbledore: “No wizard has ever been able to do this. There is no soil for the Dark Lord to survive without him!”

Hermione, Penelope and other girls: “This is the most unique man in the world!”

I’m a Master of Magical Beasts at Hogwarts
Chapter 1: When you encounter lightning, you must cross it
“So, I traveled through time?”
On a very unique street of pointed-roof houses in Great Britain, a boy was sitting on a bench on both sides of the street, looking at the somewhat gray sky and saying blankly.
As for how he was sure that he had traveled through time, firstly, he clearly returned to his rental house after get off work yesterday and lay down comfortably. He also spent a huge amount of money on a certain video software, spending 4.8 million yuan to unlock the latest movie of a certain Fantastic Beasts.
When I was watching with great interest, I suddenly fell asleep and the phone hit my head and I passed out. So I traveled through time?
No, Li Xuan tried hard to recall, and realized that it was not the mobile phone that caused him to travel through time, but the ball lightning that suddenly appeared in his room after a thunder!
I was so engrossed in watching the movie that I didn’t notice it. The volume of my cell phone was turned up to the maximum, and the ‘sizzling’ sound of the dark purple ball lightning was not loud, so I didn’t notice it.
If I hadn’t been so tired of looking that I turned around, I wouldn’t have noticed it. But because I turned around and noticed it, I was startled and the phone fell down and hit me on the forehead.
When I covered my forehead, the ball of lightning began to float towards me, even though I was resisting and shouting, “Don’t come over here!!!”
In the end, the half-man-high ball lightning was tightly combined with me. I told it to treat everyone equally, but it just wouldn’t listen. Now the law that one must pass through the ball lightning has been realized in me.
“well!”
Looking at the scene before him, Li Xuan sighed silently. He might as well make the best of it. After all, as an old bookworm, he had a very strong ability to accept this kind of time travel.
Time travel happens every year, and this year it comes to my home!
Anyway, there is no harm in traveling through time. Li Xuan looked at his arms and body which had become smaller. Who wouldn’t want to become younger?
Moreover, after traveling through time, his body should still be the same as in his previous life, but his appearance should have improved a lot. Although not as good as the Daniel Wu that you are reading, he is a bit similar to a certain star named Zun Long.
It cannot be said that they are very similar, it can only be said that they are exactly the same. In his previous life, Li Xuan’s appearance was not bad, and he could be called handsome. If it weren’t for the fact that time made him eat too much pig feed and gain weight, he would really be able to experience what it feels like to eat something soft with a bad stomach.
Anyway, Li Xuan had been sitting here in a daze for more than ten minutes and had already rejected the help of several “enthusiastic” ladies.
With his current appearance, survival wouldn’t be a problem if he was at least a little more shameless.
As for which world he traveled to, Li Xuan also figured it out. It was the name of the boy wearing glasses and ill-fitting and extremely loose clothes who was being bullied by a little fat boy.
The house number, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, and the boy’s name, Harry Potter, all told him that the world he traveled to was the world of Hogwarts.
“So, you told me that I was watching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them last night, and you asked me to travel to that place? If it was Monkey D. Luffy, it would be the world of One Piece? Satoshi would be the world of Pokémon? Uzumaki Naruto would be the world of Naruto?”
Li Xuan continued to complain in his mind. This setting was really, although the Hogwarts world was much safer than the One Piece world and the Naruto world, but if he traveled through time, he would definitely be able to enter Hogwarts.
By then, I will definitely have to confront the noseless socket man Mr. Voldemort. In six or seven years, I should be about the same age as Harry Potter.
However, as long as he can stay safe and stay in Hogwarts in the first two or three years, he should have a good time to develop. There is not much that Socket Man can do in the first few years.
In the first year, a garlic-pickled Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Quirrell was sent to play the savior game with Harry.
In the second grade, with Dumbledore’s help, no, with Dumbledore letting the water go, Harry Potter killed the basilisk alone and saved Hogwarts.
Sirius Black in the third year, and the Goblet of Fire in the Warriors Tournament in the fourth year.
At least before the fifth grade, the probability of Li Xuan playing steady and directly confronting Voldemort was still very low.
That means Li Xuan has four years, no, it should be five years, because Li Xuan just learned from a certain enthusiastic Big Wave sister that the current time is July 31, 1990.
So in the year before Harry Potter entered school, he had an extra year to develop.
If in five years I still haven’t grown enough to defeat that Hogwarts graduate who likes to shout “Avada!” while welding, then I’ve really brought shame to thousands of time travelers.
Now that we have the time travel capability, then the necessary cheat codes for time travel must also be complete!
So it really doesn’t make sense if Li Xuan couldn’t defeat Voldemort with the help of Goldfinger in five years.
After all, Li Xuan is not like some of his predecessors who need to accumulate the golden finger for several years or even more than ten years before awakening, nor does he need to be ridiculed, emotionally excited or have a firm will to meet the activation conditions.
You can activate and use it directly after traveling through time without any trouble. Everyone who sees it will give it five-star praise!

As for what Li Xuan’s golden finger is?
Then we really need to talk about it. When he was in a daze just now, he was receiving information about the golden finger.
Li Xuan’s golden finger is different from that of ordinary time travelers. It is not equipped with various standard systems. Logically, when traveling to this magical world, it should be matched with some great magician system or god of magic system.
But what Li Xuan had were not those two items, but two treasures, or rather, two innate spiritual treasures, which were treasures with various magical functions used by the immortals and gods in the unique mythology of Donghuang.
Li Xuan’s golden finger is such a treasure, one piece, well, should I say two pieces, but they merged into one piece when traveling through time.
In fact, the spherical lightning that appeared in Li Xuan’s room was caused by the battle between these two innate spiritual treasures.
Li Xuan pulled open the sleeve of his right hand. Originally, there was nothing there. But as Li Xuan thought about it, a tattoo-like pattern appeared.
But this pattern is a little different. It is composed of a five-story pagoda and a bead on the top of the pagoda. These are the two innate spiritual treasures obtained by Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was also thankful for one thing, that is, he was wearing clothes when he was lying on the bed, and these clothes were not damaged during the time travel. They also became smaller and fit his body better. Otherwise, he would look a bit like the ‘leader’ over there who had a scar on his forehead at such a young age.
Regarding these two innate spiritual treasures, let’s first talk about the five-story pagoda underground. Don’t look at its current appearance, but in Li Xuan’s sea of ​​consciousness, yes, that tattoo-like pattern is just an external manifestation, its real place is Li Xuan’s sea of ​​consciousness.
It is now suspended in Li Xuan’s sea of ​​consciousness, surrounded by five-colored halos of white, green, blue, red and yellow. The tower itself and the beads are also emitting bursts of light that spread all around.
This tower is called the Innate Five Elements Tower. It is an innate spiritual treasure with both offensive and defensive capabilities. As you can hear from its name, this pagoda has the ability to control the energy of the five elements.
First, you can use the Innate Five Elements Tower to harness the power of the five elements to form an indestructible five elements shield around your body to resist enemy attacks.
In addition to swinging it to hit people directly, there is also the ability to use the power of the five elements to attack, which are actually five spells related to the five elements.
The golden sword lights and shadows can mobilize the power of metal to form countless swords that fly towards the enemy, giving a feeling of all swords returning to their origin.
The wood-attributed Ten Thousand Vines Strangulation will instantly grow countless vines as thick as a baby’s arm with thorns under the enemy’s feet, which will entangle and strangle the enemy. Compared with ordinary vines, these vines are tougher and more fire-resistant.
The water-attributed Water Dragon’s Fury summons a huge water dragon, which rushes towards the enemy and brings huge waves in the process. The water dragon can control endless waves to attack the opponent.
The fire attribute is to summon fire elements. One fire element can be summoned to attack. The fire element completely obeys Li Xuan and has strong intelligence. It can attack independently without Li Xuan’s excessive control. Currently, Li Xuan can only summon one.
The earth attribute is the most powerful large-scale lethal attack. Meteorite Falls from the Sky summons a meteorite to land directly from the sky and carry out a dimensionality reduction attack on the enemy. The speed of this attack is not fast, but it is a good helper to clear the field against a large number of enemies!
The power of these five moves plus the five elements shield mentioned above is not fixed, but will continue to increase later. Because the Innate Five Elements Tower is not complete now, it can be said to be in a damaged state, and Li Xuan needs to restore it bit by bit.
When the Innate Five Elements Tower is restored by then, not only will these moves be improved, but it will also display even more power.
Do you think this is the end? Is this the full power of the Innate Spiritual Treasure Five Elements Tower?
If this is really all it is, it does not deserve such a resounding name. What I just said are just some superficial aspects of it. Its real power lies in its interior, or to be more precise, in its internal five elements space.
Inside the Innate Five Elements Tower, there is a space with the Innate Five Elements Tower as the core. It has an Innate Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array that can absorb spiritual energy from the outside world without damaging the roots, and can form Five Elements Spirit Liquid in the Five Elements space!
This five elements spiritual liquid is a good thing. It can restore magic power, heal injuries, and help the growth of plants and animals, not to mention improving the environment.
Although it is not as good as the most famous Three Lights Divine Water which can turn bones into flesh and revive the dead, it is also one of the most powerful spiritual liquids.
You should know that the Three Lights Divine Water is not just one kind of divine water, but a combination of three kinds of divine water: golden sunlight divine water, silver moonlight divine water, and purple starlight divine water.
These three kinds of holy water are almost the same as the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid. Of course, the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid has more and more powerful functions, but the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid condensed from the spiritual energy of the Hogwarts world where Li Xuan is now only possesses these powers for the time being.

Chapter 3 Buy One Get One Free Gold Finger (Old Version)
As for whether the original innate five elements tower contained the innate five elements spiritual fluid that was reserved at the beginning? !
Of course there is!
The remaining innate five elements spiritual liquid is not only thousands of times more effective than the later five elements spiritual liquid, but more importantly, it can improve people’s physique, which is the most important thing.
As mentioned before, both cultivation of magic and wizardry require talent. Isn’t this so-called talent actually a special physique?
With the help of the innate five elements spiritual liquid, Li Xuan’s body did not break when he traveled through time and space, and he even regained his youth.
As for the number, originally there was about the size of a small pond, but now there is only half a pond left.
Don’t think it’s too little, you have to know that such treasures are paid by the drop, this pond is about eight or nine acres in size and two meters deep, so Li Xuan made a lot of money!!!
Although there are a lot of these innate five elements spiritual liquids, at present, they are completely non-renewable resources. According to the information currently transmitted to him by the Innate Five Elements Tower, it is impossible to condense such innate five elements spiritual liquids in the Hogwarts world. Only the next level of five elements spiritual liquid can be condensed.
This is because the world of Hogwarts is still a world of spiritual energy, or it can be called a world of magic, otherwise it would be even more difficult. This is also the reason why the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Beast Spirit Pearl took Li Xuan through.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl is another bead-shaped innate spiritual treasure. Unlike the Innate Five Elements Tower, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl is a completely auxiliary spiritual treasure.
The ability it possesses is very simple, that is, there is a small world inside that can accommodate animals to survive, and the growth and mutation speed of animals in the small world will be greatly increased.
At the same time, all animals in the small world will be forced to recognize the owner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl. Of course, the boundaries of this recognition can be set by Li Xuan, such as the birth of intelligence or possession of magic power, or it can be set manually by Li Xuan.
At present, Li Xuan has chosen the manual setting, otherwise how can he eat the chickens, ducks and geese raised inside if they recognize their owner?
In addition, as the owner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl, Li Xuan also possesses a passive talent of affinity with beasts. Generally speaking, as long as Li Xuan does not attack or harm animals, his initial favorability is basically not low.
Of course, although it is a passive talent, Li Xuan can still restrict it. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous if a group of small animals followed him when he went out.
Li Xuan was very happy when he saw this talent. Although Harry Potter’s magical magic is very fascinating, Li Xuan also likes the magical animals in it very much!
Unfortunately, there is not much discussion about Fantastic Beasts in the Harry Potter world. Basically, the story is about the love-hate relationship between Harry Potter, the “savior”, and Voldemort, the Socket Man.
As for the Fantastic Beasts trilogy that Li Xuan watched, the first and second parts were okay, with many magical creatures appearing, but the third part was just not good enough, and it was not worth the 4.8 yuan he paid in full. It was entirely about the love-hate relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
I originally thought I would be able to see new magical animals, but apart from the unicorn and the pneumatophore in the trailer, and that unknown scorpion, there were nothing else.
Li Xuan really wanted to yell, “RNM, give me back my money!”
Although I earn three thousand a month at a young age, and can buy a movie ticket with full payment without installments, I still feel uncomfortable because it is a loss!
But now that I have traveled to the world of Hogwarts and possess a treasure like the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl, this is such a great opportunity.
I am the man who will become a master of magical creatures!
Li Xuan, who had a unique hobby of collecting hamsters, although he earned three thousand a month in his previous life, still had many things he did not collect. At most, he just filled his refrigerator with drinks and ice cream.
And now that I have come to the world of Hogwarts, I have become the hamster king!
Restraining his inner excitement, due to various indescribable reasons during the time travel, the small world of the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl merged together.
As just mentioned, the Innate Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array and the Spirit Pond are now in the small world of the Beast Spirit Pearl. Because of the Innate Five Elements Tower, this small world is now more complete.
By then, plants, animals and microorganisms can all be accommodated and will have the potential to continue to develop, and will no longer be fixed.
There are two ways to develop and expand a small world. One is to accumulate spiritual energy. Now Li Xuan only has so much innate five elements spiritual liquid, so that is naturally impossible.
The only option is the second one, which is to slowly develop and improve the small world. This method is relatively slow, but Li Xuan likes this method with the lowest cost.
After all, the current small world is not small, it is a full ten square kilometers, which is more than enough for Li Xuan in a short period of time, and storage is just a small additional function.
And in the small world, Li Xuan is like a god, omnipotent. Of course, this is only in the small world.
The speed of time flow can also be changed in the small world, but this requires the consumption of spiritual energy. It can be a local change or a change of the entire space, which is very important for Li Xuan in the future.
In addition, with the protection of the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl, no one can explore Li Xuan’s memory, not even Dumbledore’s Legilimency.
It is even more powerful than the full-level brain occlumency. This is good, as it makes Li Xuan completely relieved. You know, there are many things he doesn’t want Dumbledore to know, otherwise he would have to find other ways to hide them. Now he has no worries.
In addition, the fusion of the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl not only created an additional small world, but also extended a skill in this regard, that is, spatial movement.
There is currently no limit to the longest distance of space movement. Because this skill is different from the previous five spells, using this skill requires the consumption of the Five Elements Spirit Liquid.
Therefore, as long as there is enough innate five elements spiritual liquid, theoretically the distance can be infinite, but it is only limited to the current plane and the current universe. As for whether it can travel to other worlds in the future, let’s not talk about it for now.
Therefore, Li Xuan would not use it unless it was a serious matter. After all, it consumes the innate five elements spiritual fluid!
Chapter 4 I finally received the notification letter from Hogwarts (old version)
One year later…
It was still Privet Drive in Little Whinging, Surrey, but this time Li Xuan was not sitting on a bench by the road, but on a sofa in the house at number 6 Privet Drive.
Why was Li Xuan able to enter this house? Who was the original owner?
Li Xuan just wants to tell you that in this capitalist world, there is nothing that money cannot solve. If there is, it must be because you didn’t give enough.
This year can be said to be a thrilling and accumulative year for Li Xuan. Through this year, Li Xuan can be said to have accumulated a lot of foundation. At least entering Hogwarts allows him to do things with a little more freedom.
As for why he chose this place, it was naturally because Li Xuan had a bad taste and wanted to witness something, such as the Dursley family who were scared to move away by the owl and the letter?
Li Xuan moved into number 8 Privet Drive half a year ago. He had run into Harry Potter several times during this period and had become familiar with him. As for the other things, he had not done any of them for the time being. After all, some things are as bad as too little.
What’s more, for Li Xuan, there is no benefit in having a good relationship with Harry Potter, and there are even many disadvantages, such as being noticed by a certain white wizard, being hated by a certain potion master, or being vented on by a certain socket man.
I am already an adult. What matters when doing things are benefits and rewards. Everything else is empty. There is no need to worship Harry Potter as a savior. I am not from this world. I know very well what the so-called ‘savior’ is!
Of course, giving Harry Potter some delicious food when no one else is paying attention is not against Li Xuan’s idea.
After all, this poor child is not having a good life just by looking at his thin body which is a size smaller than his cousin Dudley.
Although they are called family members, Harry Potter is actually just a servant to the Dursleys. Li Xuan will not be stingy with his kindness at certain times, especially when he is able to do so.
As for whether this will be noticed by Dumbledore, there is no need to worry. After all, this is just a kind act of a well-intentioned child, right?
I have to say that Li Xuan’s current age is very deceptive and can help him cover up some things.
What’s more, it doesn’t matter if such a small action is known by Dumbledore. It is just a good opportunity to improve his favorability in front of him. You know, in the future Li Xuan will have a lot of things to “trouble” this old man.
What Li Xuan had to do now was to open the window and welcome in the Scottish rooster that was clucking outside the window. No, it should be said that it was the owl.
Li Xuan took out the letter that he had been waiting for for a long time from the owl’s mouth. He was not in a hurry to open it. After rubbing the owl’s head a few times, he took out a small piece of dried meat from the small world, tore it into small pieces and placed it on the plate.
As for whether or not I would receive the admission letter from Hogwarts? That is absolutely impossible. As for the reason, you will understand it later.
After taking out a plate, filling it with water from the system space and feeding it to the owl, Li Xuan picked up the letter.
It is worth mentioning that the small world has undergone great changes now. Li Xuan also built a warehouse inside to store supplies. The meat and water just now were taken out from it.
As for why even the water has to be taken out from inside, of course it is because this water is not simple. It is mixed with the five elements of spiritual liquid, which is beneficial to both animals and plants.
The meat is beef jerky made from beef raised in the small world, so the owl over there is eating it happily now.
After all, because of the innate five elements spirit gathering array in the small world, the concentration of spiritual energy is not low, at least higher than in reality. Therefore, the quality of grown fruits, vegetables and farmed animals has improved a lot.
Turning the envelope over and looking at the wax seal with the letter H on the back, as well as the emblems of a lion, snake, eagle, and badger, Li Xuan felt that this was a historic moment for him.
He opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. There was beautiful and coherent English writing on the letter. Don’t say that Li Xuan doesn’t know English.
Although he had just passed the college entrance examination in English in his previous life, after one year in this world, with his transformed IQ, he quickly mastered English.
So he has no problem with listening, speaking, reading and writing. If it weren’t for his black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, one would have thought he was a local just by listening to his authentic Lundun accent.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Confederation of Wizards, First Class of the Order of Merlin, Grand Master, Chief Wizard of Visenjamer)
Dear Mr. Xuan Li:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and supplies.
The academy is scheduled to start on September 1st, and we will be waiting for your owl with your reply before July 31st.
Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress
This was just the first piece of letter paper in the envelope. There was also another piece of paper filled with various supplies needed for school and books for studying magic.
Chapter 5: A Restless Year (Old Version)
Li Xuan then opened the letter at the back, which stated the items that Li Xuan was going to purchase in Diagon Alley.
[uniform]1. Three sets of plain work robes (black)
2. A plain peaked hat for daytime wear (black)
3. A pair of protective gloves (made of dragon leather or similar material)
4. A winter cape (black with silver buttons).

Well, after reading this long list, it turns out that freshmen really need to prepare a lot of things. The last time I needed to prepare so many things for admission was the last time, well, the most recent time was when I entered university.
However, given his current situation, it was impossible for him to go to Diagon Alley for the purchases by himself. He could only tell Professor McGonagall about his situation in his reply letter and ask them to send a professor to take him to Diagon Alley for the purchases.
Although I now have some connections with the magical world, I still have to hide it well.
Li Xuan took out a pen and paper and wrote his reply on it. At this time, the owl that delivered the letter to Li Xuan had eaten and drunk his fill and stood aside, watching Li Xuan for a while. It was not easy to fly from Hogwarts, so it was very happy for it to be able to get water and food here.
The owl that delivered the letter to Li Xuan was a Barred Owl, which is a very curious owl species. Its call was different from that of ordinary owls, and it had a trembling sound.
As its name suggests, there are large horizontal and vertical stripes on its feathers, which makes it very easy to recognize. This is why Li Xuan recognized it at once.
“Go, please, take this letter back to Hogwarts!”
After gently scratching the head of the Barred Owl a few times, the little guy called out to Li Xuan a few times reluctantly and then flew back through the window.
As for why he is reluctant to leave, don’t forget Li Xuan’s passive talent – animal affinity!
“Hogwarts really makes people yearn for it!”
Li Xuan looked at Number 4 Privet Drive, which was filled with countless owls, and smiled. Then he stretched out his right hand and a magic wand suddenly appeared in his hand.
“Luminescent Flash”
Watching the tip of the magic wand in front of him light up like a small LED bulb, Li Xuan smiled. Magic, what a magical and desirable field!
This past year has not been peaceful for Li Xuan, otherwise where would the magic wand in his hand come from?
You know, he has never been to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley in this year!
Li Xuan sat back on the sofa, playing with the eleven-inch long wand made of dragon heartstring and poplar wood in his hand.
This was not the wand that Li Xuan bought from Mr. Ollivander at Ollivander’s Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, nor was it a worn-out wand he bought from a junk shop. This wand, which looked brand new and well-maintained, was Li Xuan’s trophy, or one of his trophies to be more precise.
This was obtained by Li Xuan from a dark wizard who tried to ambush him and plunder his wealth half a year ago.
With the help of two innate spiritual treasures, although the start was a bit difficult, but in half a year, Li Xuan’s wealth can be said to have grown like a snowball.
Although Li Xuan, who was only eleven years old, had made some cover-ups, his cover-ups were full of mistakes and omissions in the investigation of some “big shots”. Li Xuan, who possessed so much wealth, was undoubtedly like a child carrying gold through a busy city, and naturally attracted the covetousness of countless jackals and evil spirits.
With the help of the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl, Li Xuan naturally solved some “small troubles”.
But those people won’t give up. Since conventional forces can’t deal with you, and you’re not afraid of even thermal weapons, then you have no way to deal with the wizards on the mysterious side, right?
So these guys united together and spent a huge amount of money to hire a dark wizard to deal with Li Xuan. As for why aren’t they afraid of violating the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and being hunted down by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic?
Are you kidding? Now that they have become dark wizards, who would still abide by this damn confidentiality law?
Don’t think that the Muggle world and the magical world are completely divided. Although there is the Statute of Secrecy, most ordinary people at the bottom do not know the existence of wizards, but some rich and powerful people still know about the existence of wizards.
In particular, some dark wizards will cooperate with some big families to get what they need, so it is not surprising that they can contact the dark wizards to deal with Li Xuan.

Chapter 6 The First Battle (1/3) (Old Version)
Touching the delicate white texture on the poplar wood wand, Li Xuan couldn’t help but once again recall the thrilling battle half a year ago.
That day, Li Xuan left a company. On his way out in a car accompanied by his driver and bodyguards, when they passed a “sparsely populated” place, the black wizard suddenly appeared.
Although Li Xuan’s bodyguards were also carrying hot weapons, they could not hold out for long against the prepared wizards.
With multiple layers of armor spell cast on his body, the small-caliber pistol bullets had no effect on him at all.
After the other side cast a few disarming spells, a few Cruciatus Curses, and the frightening green Avada Kedavra, these retired Abao personnel that Li Xuanhua had hired at a high price were all over.
This was also the first time that Li Xuan truly faced the extraordinary power of this world, and it completely made him change his mind.
I originally thought that in front of well-trained and fully armed soldiers, no matter how powerful the wizard was, he could only fight ten at most, and even someone of Dumbledore’s level could only fight a hundred at most.
As a result, reality slapped him hard in the face. If it were that simple, countries would not live in peace with the magical world. After all, don’t you think they would not be jealous of these magical powers?
At the same time, we all know that heroes break the law with force, and in these so-called democratic countries, wizards with extraordinary powers have done many extraordinary things, and the government of various countries has cleaned up their mess countless times.
But why didn’t they take action against them in the end? It’s because even if they only have a few thousand or tens of thousands of people, they can easily overthrow a country.
Apart from anything else, once the Imperius Curse is cast, how can you continue to play after the heads of government of various countries are controlled?
Of course, Li Xuan was very calm that day. After all, he was familiar with the attacks. The only difference was that the attacker this time was a little different from before. It was a wizard instead.
Perhaps other people don’t know that these so-called bodyguards are actually just tools used by Li Xuan to hide himself.
Trump card, trump card, only the power that is not clearly understood by others can be called a trump card. If it is known to everyone, it can no longer be called a trump card.
Perhaps no one, including the dark wizard, expected that Li Xuan was the most powerful person in this team.
Li Xuan still remembered the shock and disbelief on the wizard’s pale face under his hood when the two men were casting spells against each other.
That day, Li Xuan only used two spells from the Innate Five Elements Tower to kill this Muggle-born wizard from Hogwarts Ravenclaw.
As for the two, one is a defensive five-element shield, and the other is an attacking golden sword.
However, Li Xuan’s combat experience was not rich enough, and he should have opened the shield directly from the beginning. He originally planned to use the wood-attributed Ten Thousand Vine Strangulation to trap the black wizard.
After all, he knew that a wizard without his wand was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, and was nothing to be feared.
Unexpectedly, the opponent could cast spells silently while being tied up. If Li Xuan had not reacted quickly and replenished the Five Elements shield in time, he might have really been in trouble.
After all, who could have imagined that dark wizards could easily master these two superb abilities: wandless casting and silent casting?
However, the cutting curse still left a scar on Li Xuan’s waist. Although the scar has fallen off, Li Xuan still felt a dull pain when he reached out and touched it.
However, this dark wizard only mastered the Cutting Spell to this extent, and did not have other spells, otherwise he could have easily escaped with a single Apparition.
But after Li Xuan used the Five Elements Shield, the dark wizard, even if he used up all his magic power and cast dozens of cutting spells, still couldn’t break the shield. The surprise on his face undoubtedly showed that he had relied on this familiar cutting spell to turn the tables countless times.
Who could have imagined that a ten-year-old could possess such great power?
It was also that cutting spell that made Li Xuan no longer focus completely on the layout of the Muggle world. After all, being reborn in this era, it was natural for him to do some business layout and planning.
After all, the saying “money makes the world go round” is applicable everywhere. In this era, even a pig can fly with the help of the wind of the times.
Before, Li Xuan was a little too immersed in making money and business layout, forgetting that becoming strong is the most important thing.
There is no way. Li Xuan was just an ordinary person in his previous life. Now he is able to thrive in the business world. The feeling of being in command is really fascinating.
However, that battle made Li Xuan completely sober. Although the business layout was still going on in reality, it was not enough to just possess supreme power in the wizarding world, or just possess a strong influence in the Muggle world.
What Li Xuan wants is to be strong in both aspects, to do both, and to let the two complement each other. This is Li Xuan’s goal!
Therefore, Li Xuan has handed over all the industries in the real world to “Rest assured” to manage, and he only needs to give general goals based on future development.
Chapter 7: The Layout of the Muggle World (2/3) (Old Version)
As for how to make these subordinates loyal to him and not waste his property, the carrot and stick method is the simplest.
After showing off his skills a bit and telling them that he could get them some potions in the future, this of course convinced these guys.
Of course, this is only on the surface. Li Xuan doesn’t think that this will make these guys follow him wholeheartedly.
Li Xuan believes that there is a saying that is very correct: if you don’t betray, it’s just that the cost of betrayal is not proportional to the gain.
So Li Xuan secretly used the Soul Reaper Curse to change the minds of these managers. This change was subtle, like a drizzle that moistens everything silently.
It won’t cause any harm to their bodies, otherwise Li Xuan wouldn’t do it. After all, if there are any sequelae that turn these guys into fools, how can they manage their own industry?
Because Li Xuan used a dark wizard’s wand and it was well hidden, even if the wizard faced them, he would not discover this problem.
At the same time, Li Xuan also knew that being too famous in this world would make it easy to be treated as a leek and be harvested. The real capital tycoons were all hiding behind the scenes, and his current age was too shocking.
Therefore, Li Xuan slowly erased his own existence to avoid revealing any clues, and spread the news that the real controller of his industry was a ten-year-old child.
It makes people question what is true and what is false, what is true and what is false. Sometimes, when you tell the truth, others don’t believe you.
As for those who had contact with him and knew of his existence, Li Xuan also personally modified their memories.
It is a change rather than an erasure, otherwise it would really feel like the case of trying to cover up one’s own faults.
If this were a parallel world without super powers, Li Xuan’s acquisition of so much wealth at this age would shock the world, but would also make him an idol for countless people.
But in this magical world, Li Xuan’s performance will not make him an idol, but only a well-growing leek, or even the target of the Imperius Curse.
Therefore, the appearance of this dark wizard was very timely. Not only did it give Li Xuan a wake-up call, but it also added a lot of background to Li Xuan.
Not to mention other things, the Imperius Curse just mentioned was learned from the dark wizard’s notes.
As for why Li Xuan was able to use the magic wand and when he awakened his magic power, in fact, Li Xuan awakened when he just crossed over to Hogwarts.
Because his body has been transformed, his awakening does not cause as much noise as other young wizards.
As mentioned before, the so-called magic power is just the name of this world. You can call it magic power, spiritual power, magic power, etc.
In fact, Li Xuan could have gone to Hogwarts last year, but firstly, Li Xuan’s body was less than eleven years old, and secondly, Li Xuan let the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl block the fact that he had already awakened.
In front of the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl, the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance left by the four giants of Hogwarts are nothing more than younger brothers!
Li Xuan also needs some time to think. At the same time, the small world also needs a lot of supplies to replenish. If he enters Hogwarts, it is a closed school. It will be difficult for Li Xuan to leave. However, if he wants to make the small world vibrant, the fastest way is to use money to pave the way in the Muggle world.
The small world now is so full of vitality, and its area has also expanded a lot. As for the situation, we will talk about it later.
It was mentioned earlier that Li Xuan obtained a lot of things from the dark wizard’s legacy, so there is no need to talk about gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and copper Knuts.
However, what is worthy of Li Xuan’s complaints is the conversion of currency in the magical world: 29 Copper Knuts equal 1 Silver Sickle, and 17 Silver Sickles equal 1 Gold Galleon.
This conversion ratio, which has no regular pattern, is actually considered very easy to remember by wizards. Well, maybe the wizards’ thinking patterns are just so different.
With this conversion system, they will never understand why when paying in cash at Donghuang, they have to pay the cashier twelve dollars for an item worth seven dollars.
Thanks to the fact that this dark wizard came from the studious Ravenclaw, they firmly believed that extraordinary intelligence and talent were the greatest wealth of mankind.
So this Ravenclaw wizard, who was also Li Xuan’s senior, had a notebook in the bag where he cast the space-expansion spell, which contained a lot of detailed records of spells.
For some reason, this notebook is missing a part, but the spells recorded on it are enough for Li Xuan to learn in the past six months.
There are a total of fourteen spells, including seven general practical spells: Descaling Charm, Apparition, Repairing Charm, Cutting Charm, Levitation Charm, Wand Glowing Charm, and Flying Charm.
To be honest, Li Xuan could understand other spells, but why was the Cutting Spell included in the general practical spells?
Isn’t this supposed to be an offensive spell?
Could it be that this spell was invented just for cutting meat?
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 8 The First Wand (3/3) (Old Version)
However, after learning the Cutting Spell, Li Xuan also understood a little bit why the Cutting Spell was included in the general practical spells.
The reason is naturally its power. Li Xuan was frightened by the cutting spell used by the black wizard and thought that the cutting spell was so powerful.
In fact, he ignored the black wizard who used the cutting spell. From the other party’s notes, Li Xuan could know that the other party’s strength was a great wizard at the fourth level among the nine levels of wizards, and the remaining wizard levels would be discussed slowly.
The spell of the Cutting Spell was ‘Tear into Pieces’, and the dark wizard at the great wizard level could easily cut Li Xuan’s body using the Cutting Spell.
But you have to know that the Cutting Curse is a spell that makes cursed objects suddenly break into pieces, but the gifted dark wizard changed it into a mode similar to Snape’s Sharp Sharpness.
But look at other people’s use of the Cutting Spell. Not to mention others, our savior Mr. Harry Potter could only tear Senric’s schoolbag with the Cutting Spell when he was in fourth grade.
Ron used the Cutting Charm to cut the lace sleeves off his dress before the Yule Ball.
With this comparison, we can see the extent to which the dark wizard has mastered the Cutting Spell. The fact that he can cast the spell without a wand and silently shows that he must have a unique talent for the Cutting Spell.
In addition to these seven general practical spells, there are also offensive spells such as the Disarming Spell, defensive spells such as the Armor Spell, and other types of spells such as the Transfiguration Spell and the Untraceable Extension Spell.
There is also the black magic that is considered standard among dark wizards by ordinary wizards, especially the three unforgivable curses!
The Imperius Curse that Li Xuan had used before, as well as the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse.
Li Xuan has at least mastered these fourteen spells in the past six months, and it can even be said that he has become very proficient in all of them except for the three unforgivable spells.
As for why the three unforgivable curses are exclusive, it is naturally because the use of black magic requires the caster to have negative emotions, and this is especially true for the three unforgivable curses.
However, if one uses black magic too much, the anger, hatred, resentment and other emotions attached to it will affect one’s mind, and eventually one will lose reason and become a lunatic.
This is why in the wizarding world it is said that using black magic will bring misfortune to people.
In addition to the dozen or so spells just mentioned, there is another trophy, which is the magic wand in your hand.
Li Xuan has not yet reached the level of being able to cast spells without a wand and silently. The dark wizard has been practicing day after day for more than ten years to reach this level. He is almost forty years old. In addition to talent, he has been able to reach this level through constant practice and hard work.
This seized wand can be said to be the first wand in Li Xuan’s life. Although it is not tailor-made, Li Xuan is now able to use it very smoothly.
One reason is that Li Xuan’s physique was changed into a five-element body by the Innate Five Elements Tower, and the material of the magic wand will naturally be close to Li Xuan.
Secondly, it is because of the materials this wand is made of. This is a wand made of poplar wood and dragon heartstring. You will understand after reading the introduction of these two materials.
When choosing aspen wood for a staff, choose white, fine-grained aspen, which is similar to ivory and has great spell-casting power.
Popular with all wandmakers, aspen wands are often found in skilled or destined duelists.
It is easier to make a powerful wand using a dragon heartstring as the wand core, and the spells cast will be more gorgeous. Using this type of wand will help you learn magic faster than other types.
However, once this type of wand is won from its original owner, it will immediately establish a close bond with its new owner. The Dragon Heartstring wand itself does not tend to the Dark Arts, but it is the wand most likely to turn to the Dark Arts.
Now you understand why Li Xuan was able to use this magic wand so quickly. The reason is naturally because of its own problems, and it would surrender to a stronger person!
After seeing these two materials, I also realized that the dark wizard actually had different talents in spells and duels, just like his dean.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many spells recorded in just a torn notebook. You have to know that in the magical world, the more spells you master, the more powerful you are. It depends more on the degree of your mastery.
Just look at his Cutting Spell and you will understand. He has made a very creative use of a general practical spell, which is even more powerful than any ordinary offensive spell!
At the same time, Li Xuan was also very fortunate that the other party was indeed very powerful. According to the notes, this wizard was not just a great wizard, but was about to advance to an elite wizard, and was only one step away.
The other party originally planned to go back for promotion after taking Li Xuan’s order, but he didn’t expect to fail at the last moment and fell directly into the hands of Li Xuan, a young man who had no martial ethics.
Well, this is just like the supporting character in the movie saying that he will go back and get married after the war. He will definitely die. Such a flag should not be set!
Chapter 9 The Visiting Professor (1/3) (Old Version)
A few days have passed since Li Xuan received the admission letter from Hogwarts. During these days, Li Xuan still stays in the house at 8 Privet Drive.
Apart from dealing with some difficult decision-making matters sent by his subordinates, what Li Xuan saw most was the various farces at Number 4 Privet Drive nearby.
First they were taken to the zoo. Harry’s magical burst and the awakening of Parseltongue made Dudley experience what it felt like to be watched by others.
After that, various owls came to report every day and kept delivering messages to them, which was very annoying. It seemed that the other party would be moving soon.
As for why Li Xuan stayed at home instead of going out, it was naturally to wait for a reply. He had received a reply from Hogwarts yesterday, telling him that a professor would come to his house at three o’clock this afternoon to take him to Diagon Alley to purchase items needed for the start of school.
That’s why Li Xuan was waiting quietly at home. In fact, it wasn’t that boring. There were so many owls in the Dursleys’ house next door, and Li Xuan prepared a lot of food and water for them in his own yard.
“Ding Dong!”
Li Xuan heard the doorbell ringing and looked up at the time. It seemed that the professor who came was very punctual.
“Hold on!”
Li Xuan got up and opened the door. He wondered which professor would take him to Diagon Alley this time?
Professor McGonagall from Gryffindor? Professor Snape from Slytherin? Professor Sprout from Hufflepuff?
Thinking of this, Li Xuan opened the door. Don’t be surprised that such a powerful man doesn’t have a servant in his house.
With the existence of magic, Li Xuan doesn’t need any help from others. What’s more, Li Xuan has too many secrets, which are not suitable for others to see.
In addition, before traveling through time, Li Xuan lived alone and was used to it, so he didn’t need others to disrupt his life rhythm.
Magic can help with cleaning, but as for eating, Li Xuan thinks it is better to cook by himself, as the food cooked by the English chefs does not suit his taste.
As for the problem of food being hard to buy, is it difficult for Li Xuan to solve this problem with his current wealth?
“Mr. Xuan Li? Or according to your custom, I should call you Mr. Li Xuan.”
After opening the door, Li Xuan heard the other party calling out his name. Unlike most English people, the other party didn’t feel awkward at all when reading his name.
Li Xuan looked over and saw that the person who came to pick him up to go to Diagon Alley this time was the Head of Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick!
Li Xuan just mentioned the deans of three colleges, but the one he didn’t mention came.
“Yes, thank you very much. May I ask who you are?”
Although his mind was as clear as a mirror, Li Xuan still had to go through the necessary procedures.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Li Xuan, I am Filius Flitwick, professor of Charms at Hogwarts and head of Ravenclaw House.
I am the guide assigned to you by Hogwarts School. I will take you to buy some preparation items and books for the start of school.”
Professor Flitwick, Li Xuan also understood why the other party could pronounce his name correctly, because a Donghuang person had just enrolled in his college last year.
Zhang Qiu!
For this Donghuang girl who would become a huge fan of our future savior Mr. Harry Potter, Zhang Qiu must be the white moonlight in his heart, even though she ended up marrying Ginny Weasley.
However, after Li Xuan saw Harry Potter, he knew that this was the movie version, not the novel version, so to this fellow villager he could only say hello, fellow villager, and goodbye!
After all, the aesthetic tastes of the East and the West are different, and Li Xuan had seen this in his previous life.
“Professor Flitwick, welcome, please come in!”
There were a lot of thoughts in Li Xuan’s mind, but he still remained polite on the surface. He quickly opened the door, turned sideways and said to Professor Flitwick.
Professor Flitwick nodded with a smile. Considering Flitwick’s height, Li Xuan took him to a lower soft sofa.
As a master of fighting, Professor Flitwick’s observation ability is naturally not bad. From the time they met until now, he has been very satisfied with Li Xuan.
According to his letter, Li Xuan was alone, but no matter in his dealings with others or when he saw him for the first time, he did not discriminate against him or have any other emotions towards him because of his fairy bloodline, that is, his short stature.
Professor Flitwick, who was sensitive by nature, did not feel any bad emotions from Li Xuan.
And considering his body shape, he chose such a sofa, which undoubtedly shows that he is a gentle and considerate child.
A person can maintain such a character in his life. It is obvious that Flitwick’s favorability towards Li Xuan increased a lot instantly.
Li Xuan brought out two cups of black tea and some cookies and placed them on the table.
The two sat on the sofa and talked for a while, and Professor Flitwick praised Li Xuan’s black tea and cookies.
Tell him to treat him to some Fizzy Bees or Toffees from Honeydukes when he gets to Hogwarts.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Professor Flitwick mainly told Li Xuan some basic knowledge about the magical world.
Of course, it was Li Xuan’s eagerness to learn that made the Head of Ravenclaw very satisfied with him. In addition, Professor Flitwick had a gentle personality and naturally would not mind telling him some things.
Chapter 10: Apparition Spell (2/3) (Old Version)
“It’s almost time, let’s go to Diagon Alley, where I’ll help you buy everything you need for school, especially the wands that are very important to wizards!”
During the conversation, after learning that Li Xuan did not need a student loan, Professor Flitwick did not say much. After all, Li Xuan owned such a house on his own.
Looking at his clothes and facial expression, Professor Flitwick knew that his living conditions were not too bad.
As for how a little boy like Li Xuan could keep such wealth, Professor Flitwick didn’t want to explore it too much. Who doesn’t have his or her own secrets in this world?
Sometimes don’t be too curious, so that you can live longer.
“Perhaps if you have extra gold, Li Xuan, you can bring more. After all, although Gringotts also allows the exchange of gold galleons with pounds, that is only for Muggle freshmen at Hogwarts School.
The amount of gold galleons that can be exchanged for pounds is limited, and it may only be enough to buy the items on your list, and it may even be a bit tight.”
Li Xuan nodded, knowing that this was Professor Flitwick’s kind reminder to him.
During the conversation just now, Li Xuan also asked about the currency issues in the magical world. Although he knew the general idea, he had to pretend that he didn’t know.
During the conversation, we also learned that gold, a precious metal, has great value in both the Muggle world and the wizarding world. It can be said to be a universal currency!
Li Xuan got up, entered the room, filled a bag with some gold and came out. In fact, it was just a cover-up. The real thing was taken out from the small world.
Knowing that he was going to study at Hogwarts, Li Xuan naturally made preparations in advance. Apart from anything else, he made sure to prepare enough money!
Money paves the way. Whether it is for Li Xuan’s daily necessities or for Li Xuan’s subsequent purchase of magical creatures, golden Galleons are needed!
However, Li Xuan did not bring too many. After all, this time he went there with Professor Flitwick mainly to familiarize himself with the route.
After all, it would not be easy to exchange gold Galleons on a large scale in front of Professor Flitwick. After all, Li Xuan had collected a lot of gold in this year.
If it were taken out, Li Xuan’s wealth would not be as much as the Potter family treasury of our savior Harry, but it should not be too little.
There is no way. Although there is little gold in the wizarding world, there is a lot of it in the Muggle world. As long as you have money, you can exchange it.
Although large-scale exchanges could easily attract the attention of the government, Li Xuan only did so in small batches, and even had his subordinates create many aliases.
Over time, the gold in Li Xuan’s small world has piled up into a small mountain.
“Professor Flitwick, I’m ready here.”
Professor Flitwick nodded, took out his wand, and said, “In that case, let’s go to Diagon Alley.
But before that, grab the corner of my clothes. It might be a little uncomfortable when you Apparate. It will be like this the first time. You will get used to it later.”
Li Xuan nodded. He had naturally seen information about the magic of Apparition in the dark wizard’s notes.
Did you learn it?!
Of course he learned it. It was such a cool spell that allowed him to move around in a flash. It was a rare space spell. How could Li Xuan give it up?
Have you learned how to use it? !
Of course… No!
As for why, Li Xuan will never tell you that it is because he follows his heart. After all, this Apparition magic is different from other magics. If used improperly, it will result in “split”.
Yes, it means exactly what it says. Part of the body stays where it is, while the other part moves to the destination of the Apparition.
Both sides are unable to move. If they are lucky, they can wait for the Ministry of Magic’s Incident Reversal Team to deal with it. If they are unlucky, then goodbye.
Our little Ron Weasley will have such a tragic experience in the future, so Li Xuan would not dare to try such a dangerous spell as Apparition easily.
You should know that in order to avoid problems when using Apparition, the Ministry of Magic even set up a special Apparition Testing Center.
The purpose, of course, is to ensure that beginners of Apparition can use this magic well, and even if something goes wrong it can be remedied in time in the Ministry of Magic.
The key points of learning Apparition are also clearly stated in the dark wizard’s notes, which is the three D principles, namely goal, determination and composure.
Similarly, the three-step principle is also followed to cast this magic.
Step 1: Focus your attention on your goal
Step 2: Make up your mind and let the thought of going there flow from your brain to your body
Step 3: Turn around in place and feel your body become empty, moving calmly
Doesn’t it look simple and easy to understand?
But we all know that people always have fear about unknown things. Li Xuan has completed the first few steps very well.
But I really can’t remain calm and composed at the end, after all, I have never experienced it.
Li Xuan did not force it, because he was waiting for this opportunity. After experiencing it personally, he would not be so afraid anymore.
Chapter 11: Shop 1, Diagon Alley (3/3) (Old Version)
“This feeling…”
Li Xuan looked at the sudden change in the environment and couldn’t help but mutter.
“How is it, are you okay?”
Professor Flitwick at the side asked with concern. After all, as a master of spells, he knew the aftereffects of using the Apparition Charm for the first time only too well.
Li Xuan shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
In fact, the Apparition spell will make people feel suffocated during the teleportation process, and at the same time, there will be a sense of tearing and squeezing all over the body, after all, it involves space.
But Li Xuan’s current physical condition is not that of an eleven-year-old child, so the discomfort disappeared after a few seconds.
“You have excellent adaptability. You will definitely be more talented than other wizards when learning the Apparition Spell in the future.”
Seeing that Li Xuan got rid of the aftereffects of the Disapparation Charm so quickly, Professor Flitwick couldn’t help but say happily.
After all, let alone other young wizards, even adult wizards are not much better when they use the Apparition Charm for the first time.
Even some people with poor physical constitution will vomit it out, and it is rare to see someone like Li Xuan.
However, Professor Flitwick did not doubt anything. After all, in the magical world, people have different physiques and are naturally close to certain magic.
As for whether it is scientific or not, in the magical world, perhaps Newton silently used magic to nail a few more nails on his own coffin!
“This is the entrance to Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron!”
Professor Flitwick pointed at the wizard bar in front and said to Li Xuan, this is the real Number 1 Diagon Alley!
You have to know that the Leaky Cauldron was established about two centuries before the implementation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.
The Leaky Cauldron is now a wizarding pub, but in the beginning, Muggles were also allowed to enter.
Although they would not be excluded in the Leaky Cauldron, they would still think that the topics of conversation among people in the bar were extremely absurd!
To them it looked as if a group of hysterical, or mentally ill, people were talking to each other.
Come to think of it, this is normal. If I were in your shoes and went to a bar, everyone inside would be talking seriously about magic, potions, and monsters.
Moreover, the other party looked serious when chatting, and looked no different from a normal person, and the system was very complete.
You will feel that either you have been pranked or these people are crazy. Of course, in modern times, you may also enter a role-playing bar and these people are entertaining themselves.
Later, after the implementation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, the Leaky Cauldron was hidden using magic to avoid being discovered by Muggles.
The reason why Li Xuan was able to see the Leaky Cauldron was naturally because he had awakened his magic power. If it were other Muggles who had not awakened their magic power, they would not be able to see it unless they were accompanied by a wizard.
When I opened the door of the Leaky Cauldron, although it was broad daylight, it was a little dark inside, and there were even candles lit in some places.
This is very much in line with the wizard’s style, but it is not so adaptable to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan took a look around and saw that there was a bar on the first floor where the owner Tom was wiping cups. Apart from that, there was also a cafeteria and a small single room whose function was unknown.
There were many wizards sitting inside, wearing wizard robes and pointy wizard hats.
“Oh, Professor Flitwick, it’s rare to see you. Are you still the same as always?”
Even though the sharp-eyed Tom was chatting with a guest, he still noticed Professor Flitwick.
“No, thanks Tom. I still have to take the Hogwarts new students to Diagon Alley to buy supplies!”
Professor Flitwick smiled and rejected Tom’s kindness. After hearing what Professor Flitwick said, Tom smiled and nodded to Li Xuan.
Yes, it’s the beginning of another school year, and the professors at Hogwarts are about to get busy again.
Li Xuan is not Harry Potter, so naturally he will not cause a massive sensation as soon as he appears like Harry Potter, so the wizards in the bar continue to do what they should do.
Naturally, he wouldn’t run into Professor Quirrell and the Socket Man on the back of his head. You can tell by the fact that they didn’t even dare to touch Harry’s hand.
But it’s better not to meet him. Li Xuan doesn’t want to smell the garlic and hear his stuttering voice. Now is not the time for Li Xuan to confront the Socket Man.
Li Xuan also nodded with a smile, then continued to follow Professor Flitwick forward, opened the door, and walked into a small alley with only one wall.
There is also a trash can in the corner of this wall.
“Count three bricks above the trash can, then count two bricks sideways. Remember this position and tap it lightly with your magic wand. That’s it.”
Professor Flitwick was not in a hurry to take Li Xuan into Diagon Alley, but first told him the precautions.
Li Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood and knew that Professor Flitwick was teaching him. It must be said that Professor Flitwick taught him a lot of knowledge along the way.
“Professor, if this trash can is moved, wouldn’t that mean it’s in the wrong place?”
Li Xuan suddenly remembered a question that came to his mind when he was watching a movie in his previous life, and asked quickly.
Hearing Li Xuan’s words, Professor Flitwick smiled and said, “A little wizard like you who likes to think has a great chance of entering Ravenclaw.
But don’t worry, the Ministry of Magic has cast a spell on the trash can to prevent some naughty little wizards from doing this.
As long as the trash can is removed, it will return to its original position after three minutes. As for judging whether the trash can is in its original position, just check whether it is under the recessed hole in the wall. “
Chapter 12: The Shops in Diagon Alley (1/3) (Old Version)
Seeing that Li Xuan was fine and had remembered it, Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction. If nothing unexpected happened, such a young wizard would definitely enter Ravenclaw and would become his student.
In fact, even if Li Xuan did not enter Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick would still patiently answer his questions. After all, that was Professor Flitwick’s personality. He would never get bored with the studious little wizard.
Otherwise, Hermione would not become his favorite student in the future, even if she was not the smart Ravenclaw but the ‘brave’ Gryffindor.
There were even many times when Professor Flitwick thought that the Sorting Hat was wrong. How could Hermione be a student of Gryffindor? She looked like a student of Ravenclaw.
You have to know that Hermione is a true academic master. In the semesters with exams, she is basically the first in the class. Even the little wizards from Ravenclaw can’t beat her.
Professor Flitwick even secretly discussed with Professor McGonagall about transferring Hermione to another hospital, but Professor McGonagall was unwilling to do so.
Hermione is not only Professor Flitwick’s favorite student, but also Professor McGonagall’s pride. With Hermione around, it is no longer possible for other houses to say that Gryffindor is just brave but not wise, and is just a reckless man.
No matter what the other party said, Professor McGonagall could just respond lightly with “Hermione is from Gryffindor”. It was such a happy feeling.
Gryffindor used to be known for being troublemakers and mischievous, but with Hermione added to the mix, things are completely different.
Professor Flitwick used a very sophisticated levitation spell to make himself float up, without even having to recite the spell.
As a spell master, many spells can be cast silently for him.
As Professor Flitwick tapped lightly on the corresponding brick, the entire wall seemed to be triggered, rotating and expanding from the middle to both sides, eventually forming a circular stone door.
Although I saw it in the movie, it was even more shocking to see it with my own eyes.
“Welcome to Diagon Alley!”
Professor Flitwick even spoke to Li Xuan in a very ceremonial manner. Li Xuan looked at the busy wizarding street in front of him and felt very excited.
Although it has been a year since I came to the world of Hogwarts, and I now own the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Pearl, and I have also learned spells and own a magic wand, I am still very excited.
Not because of anything else, but because of something called sentiment. Stepping in here means that Li Xuan’s magical journey has officially begun!
Professor Flitwick did not interrupt or urge Li Xuan. He could understand Li Xuan’s excitement very well. Perhaps every Muggle-born little wizard would be like this every year.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Professor!”
Fortunately, Li Xuan didn’t stay excited for long. He calmed down after a few seconds.
“It doesn’t matter. Magic is always fascinating, isn’t it?”
Professor Flitwick knew what Li Xuan meant, waved his hand, and even said this wittily.
Li Xuan nodded, then followed him into Diagon Alley, a gathering place for wizards. He immediately blended into it like a drop of water into the sea, as if Li Xuan was born to belong here.
As for why Li Xuan didn’t come to Diagon Alley alone before, one reason was that he didn’t know much about it, and it would be easy for him to leave evidence if he came here rashly.
Second, his strength was not that strong at that time. Even with the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl as his backing, he was still too weak. There were so many means in the magic world, and Li Xuan didn’t want to capsize in the gutter.
I have only been in this world for a short time, and I want to enjoy myself.
Thirdly, it was naturally because Li Xuan’s target was too obvious. For an eleven-year-old little wizard like him to walk around with gold Galleons, wasn’t that courting death?
Li Xuan now has no good way to hide himself. A teenager cannot hide even if he wears a wizard robe.
Of course, it’s not to say that it’s completely useless, it’s just that this method couldn’t be used before. Li Xuan only learned it recently and didn’t have time to use it.
In addition, he didn’t know much about Diagon Alley before, and he was told that he was in Knockturn Alley. Li Xuan was afraid that if he went in, he wouldn’t be able to get out, or it was still a question whether he could get out intact.
We only have one life, and Li Xuan will never joke about it.
Li Xuan said that he is not the type of protagonist who steps on Voldemort, criticizes Dumbledore, and fights Grindelwald shortly after traveling through time.
He is that kind of person, the rather special one, you know, the kind who follows his heart and is a little bit prudent.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to follow Professor Flitwick into Diagon Alley, Li Xuan wanted to learn more about Diagon Alley so that he could come here by himself next time. Li Xuan liked to prepare in advance for everything he did.
Perhaps Professor Flitwick heard Li Xuan’s thoughts, so as he led Li Xuan forward, he gave him a brief introduction to these shops.
There is the Hopping and Playing Magic Joke Shop that sells all kinds of joke items, the Florin Fosco Ice Cream Shop that is unique to the wizarding world, and the Swift Writing Stationery Shop that sells quills, ink and parchment.
There’s the Quidditch boutique, which sells all kinds of Quidditch equipment including the Quaffle, Bludgers and broomsticks, and the Wezeacre Wizarding Supply, which sells all kinds of magical items.
There is also the Ila Owl Shop which sells various kinds of owls, and the Magical Animal Shop which is what Li Xuan cares most about!
Chapter 13: Exchange for Gold Galleons (2/3) (Old Version)
However, Li Xuan did not rush over, but secretly made a note in his mind that he would come again later. Now he decided to follow Professor Flitwick to purchase the items needed for teaching.
The first thing the young wizard did when he arrived at Diagon Alley was, of course, to go to the only wizard bank in the entire English wizarding world to exchange gold Galleons.
Li Xuan was naturally no exception. He followed Professor Flitwick to Gringotts, which looked a little crooked on the outside and was a tall, snow-white marble building.
To be honest, Li Xuan, who has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, really wants to ask why he has to do this. Isn’t it good to be square?
Even if it has to be crooked, why can’t it be consistent? The first floor is crooked to the left, the second and third floors are crooked to the right. Who designed this? It’s so wise. Can you call him out so we can talk about it?
Li Xuan really wanted to straighten the crooked pillar, but forget it, out of sight, out of mind. Li Xuan knew it was impossible, so he simply stopped looking.
“Let’s go, let’s go in and exchange for gold galleons first.”
Li Xuan followed Professor Flitwick into the Gringotts Bank building, stepped onto the white stone steps, and then walked through two shiny bronze doors.
There was also a goblin in a scarlet and gold-rimmed uniform at the door. When he saw Professor Flitwick, he changed his indifference and smiled at him.
Li Xuan knew why this was the case. After all, Professor Flitwick had fairy blood.
After entering the first door, there is an inner hall. Further inside is another door. You have to continue walking inside to reach a tall marble hall.
Li Xuan could also understand it. After all, it was a bank, and having two doors was normal.
In this hall, hundreds of goblins were busy sitting on high stools behind the counter, some weighing coins with copper scales, some examining gems with eyepieces, and some making records in large ledgers.
Li Xuan also observed that there were countless doors in the hall, which should be the doors leading to different vaults.
Professor Flitwick brought Li Xuan to a goblin. Seeing how familiar the two were with each other, Li Xuan didn’t rush to interrupt their conversation. He was not in a hurry anyway.
However, Professor Flitwick also knew why he came here, so he talked to the goblin for a few words and then stopped talking.
For Professor Flitwick, entering Gringotts Bank is like returning home. The goblins here are all talented and speak nicely. He likes it here very much.
Well, the meme ends here. At Professor Flitwick’s signal, Li Xuan stepped forward and started talking to the other party.
“Hello, I’m a freshman at Hogwarts this year, and I want to exchange some gold Galleons.”
The goblin sitting on the high stool nodded. He had just learned from his conversation with Professor Flitwick that Li Xuan was a Muggle-born little wizard, so he began to speak.
“For young Muggle-born wizards, according to the Ministry of Magic’s regulations, you have an exchange quota of 1,100 pounds. The exchange rate between pounds and gold Galleons is five to one. How much do you want to exchange?”
Li Xuan guessed that Gringotts Bank had an exchange limit for gold Galleons and British Pounds for young wizards of Muggle origin, but he did not expect that the limit was actually one thousand, and the ratio was only five to one.
This means that just by exchanging these gold Galleons, you can get 200 gold Galleons for free!
How great is this! To Li Xuan, a currency like the British pound is nothing compared to the gold galleon. Let alone five to one, he will exchange it even at fifty to one or five hundred to one.
Unfortunately, there is only a limit of one thousand, and every Muggle wizard has this limit. Even if you don’t use it all at once, you can continue to use it later.
After thinking about it this way, Li Xuan understood that it was undoubtedly similar to the student loan in his previous life.
Although two hundred gold Galleons may seem like a lot, if averaged over seven years, that would be less than thirty gold Galleons a year, or just over twenty gold Galleons.
Is it a lot?
Not much. Basically, these gold Galleons will be used to buy various books and magic supplies for study. It is impossible to spend lavishly on food, drink and entertainment.
You even need to make good plans. For example, when the professors of Muggle wizards bring them here for the first time, they always advise them not to use up all the gold Galleons all at once, otherwise it will be very difficult later.
After all, they have seen too many young wizards exchange all their gold Galleons, and finally they can’t control themselves and spend all the gold Galleons lavishly, and finally they can only go to the junk shop to buy second-hand textbooks, inaccurate copper scales and other supplies.
There are of course a lot of fun and delicious things in the magical world, but they all require gold Galleons.
Isn’t the candy at Honeydukes delicious?
Isn’t the Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks delicious?
Aren’t the toys in Zonko’s Joke Shop fun?
How long can your few gold galleons last? But many young wizards didn’t listen, and in the end, the result was obvious.
The professors at Hogwarts will remind students of this, but they will not make any mandatory requirements, as this may even have a counterproductive effect.
What’s more, your life is ultimately yours to decide, and you have the final say on whether it is good or bad.
Chapter 14: The Arms Dealer in the Magical World (3/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 14: The Arms Dealer of the Wizarding World (3/3)
“I want to exchange one thousand pounds of gold galleons.”
Li Xuan took off the backpack he had been carrying, took out a roll of pounds from it and handed it to the fairy.
Seeing that Li Xuan had redeemed all the gold Galleons at once, Professor Flitwick did not say much. Although he had not spent much time with Li Xuan, he could feel that Li Xuan was a mature and steady person who did not match his age.
Moreover, the other party did not only rely on the channel of exchanging pounds for gold Galleons. Professor Flitwick saw the gold bars in Li Xuan’s backpack when he just opened it.
After putting all 200 gold Galleons into his backpack, Li Xuan shook it. Wow, it was not light. If his body was not stronger than that of an average young man, he would not be able to lift it at all. But it was okay now, not a problem.
However, two hundred gold Galleons were enough to fill two-thirds of Li Xuan’s backpack, so Li Xuan originally planned to exchange all three gold bars in the backpack.
Later I thought about it and decided to change to a smaller one, otherwise it really wouldn’t be able to fit in all the space. This kind of worry is really frustrating.
In fact, it is possible not to exchange it for gold bars, but Li Xuan wants to find out the exchange rate between gold and gold galleons, otherwise it will be difficult to estimate it next time.
Li Xuan took out the smallest gold bar weighing 200 grams from his backpack and handed it over.
“I also need to exchange this gold bar for gold galleons.”
Seeing the gold bars that Li Xuan placed on the table, the goblins around had a greedy look in their eyes. They were just looking at them, they didn’t dare to steal the wizard’s things. It was just their greedy nature at work.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan walked out of Gringotts Bank carrying a bag full of gold Galleons. Who could have imagined that such a backpack was filled with so many gold Galleons?
However, although it looks like a lot, it is actually only 250 gold Galleons.
Two hundred and fifty…
This number was really great. Li Xuan also figured out the direct ratio between gold Galleons and gold. It was about four grams of gold for one gold Galleon, so the two hundred gram gold bar that Li Xuan took out was exchanged for fifty gold Galleons.
As for why not open a vault in Gringotts Bank?
Sorry, Li Xuan said that he would never open a vault in Gringotts Bank, which is the safest place in the entire English wizarding world.
That’s all just flattering yourself. Theft will happen soon, and it will be very troublesome to withdraw money. You have to take that little car to the vault, and it will take at least half an hour to an hour to go through all the formalities.
Li Xuan was unwilling to do that, not to mention that the gold galleons stored in the vault would become the Socket Man’s fortune.
“Let’s go, we still have a lot of things to buy!”
Professor Flitwick said to Li Xuan, Li Xuan nodded, and followed him to purchase other items.
First I went to Madam Malkin’s robe shop and bought the uniforms I needed, three sets of wizard robes, a wizard pointed hat, a pair of protective gloves, and a winter cloak.
The clothes are all made on the spot, so it takes some time, which is why Professor Flitwick brought Li Xuan here first.
Then they went to Flourish and Blotts, which was the bookstore specially designated by Hogwarts for purchasing textbooks. The eight textbooks needed for the first grade cost Li Xuan dozens of gold Galleons.
As expected, books are expensive in any world. After all, knowledge is priceless, and it is also in line with Ravenclaw’s purpose that knowledge is supreme.
In addition to these textbooks, Li Xuan also bought some other books, such as “The Greatest Wizard of the 20th Century”, “The Adventures of Mad Muggle Martin Miggs”, and “Enchant Your Cheese”.
Li Xuan bought some useful and useless books, dozens of them. Fortunately, Blooming and Blotts Bookstore had a delivery service and would deliver them to Hogwarts after school started. Otherwise, Li Xuan would not be able to carry them, after all, he had other things to buy.
Seeing that Li Xuan bought so many books, Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction. Which professor would not like such a studious little wizard?
Then the two went to Wezeacre’s magic supply store and bought a crucible, a crystal medicine bottle, a telescope, and a brass scale.
After buying these things, Li Xuan asked the other party to send them to Madam Mokin’s robe store, and they could pick them up together when the time comes.
Then the next step is to buy the last item, which is also what Li Xuan is most looking forward to, the magic wand!
Although I already have a magic wand in my hand, it is not tailor-made for me. I still hope to have one that suits me best.
What kind of wand core and what material it will be made of? It’s really exciting!
Li Xuan followed Professor Flitwick to Ollivander’s Wand Shop, which looked small and shabby compared to other shops in Diagon Alley, and the sign on the door was peeling.
Li Xuan squinted his eyes to vaguely make out what was written: “Ollivanders, making fine wands since 382 BC.”
It doesn’t matter that the signboard is broken, this is the “arms dealer” of the English wizarding world. In Li Xuan’s opinion, mastering the production of magic wands is like an arms dealer in the Muggle world!
Chapter 15: Wands and Wizards (1/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 15: Wands and Wizards (1/3)
Looking inside from the outside of the wand shop, all you can see is a solitary wand on a faded purple cushion in the shop window.
Li Xuan followed Professor Flitwick and pushed open the door and walked in. The hall of Ollivander’s Wand Shop was very small, and there was no other furniture except a bench in the corner.
Because only the windows in front of the door were open, the whole store had a very wizarding style and was as dim as the Leaky Cauldron.
Beyond that, the most astonishing thing was the thousands of long, narrow cardboard boxes containing magic wands piled from floor to ceiling.
Maybe it’s difficult to clean if they are piled like this?
It’s actually just a matter of a cleansing spell, but maybe Ollivander wants some historical background and sedimentation?
So there was a thin layer of dust everywhere, which, combined with the dim lighting and some shabby furniture, did give Li Xuan a sense of history.
Hearing the door open, Ollivander, who was sorting his wands inside, came out. He had messy white hair and small eyes, but his eyes made people feel very kind.
“Long time no see, Professor Flitwick. Eleven and a half inches long, black walnut, with a dragon heartstring core.” (I checked the information but didn’t see it, so I made it up)
“Long time no see, Mr. Ollivander,” Professor Flitwick smiled and nodded, “Your memory is as good as ever.”
After hearing what Professor Flitwick said, Ollivander said proudly: “I will remember every wand I sell, including their owners!”
Neither Professor Flitwick nor Li Xuan had any doubts about this. After all, Ollivander had proved this statement with his own actions.
However, Li Xuan thought with some evil humor that there were only a few thousand people in the entire English wizarding world, and it would not be difficult to remember them all in a few decades.
If it were the Donghuang Kingdom of his previous life, one hundred million, no, even if you just remove the word “ten thousand” at the end, it would still be one hundred thousand people, perhaps Ollivander would not have said this.
Professor Flitwick was talking to Ollivander there, and Li Xuan noticed that Ollivander had just mentioned Professor Flitwick’s wand.
The original movie didn’t mention anything about his magic wand, and Li Xuan was curious about the material of his wand.
Just like the dark wizard’s wand he had obtained before, the core of the wand was dragon heartstring, but the material of the wand was slightly different.
In fact, Li Xuan had guessed before that Professor Flitwick’s wand should be made of the same material as the dark wizard’s wand. After all, this combination suits him very well. Unexpectedly, it was actually black walnut.
However, after Li Xuan recalled the information about black walnut, he was not surprised. As mentioned before, poplar wood is very suitable for skilled or destined duelists, and it seems to be very suitable for the dueling champion Professor Flitwick.
But just look at walnut, which is often chosen by spell innovators or inventors.
Black walnut is rarer than ordinary walnut, and it usually chooses a master with keen intuition and strong insight.
Black walnut wands are very beautiful to look at, and have a special gift for all kinds of spells, but they are not easy to control.
Does this make Professor Flitwick more suitable? Don’t forget that he is also a master of spells, otherwise how could he be a professor of spells at Hogwarts?
Although black walnut is unable to regulate internal conflicts on its own, it requires its owner to be honest with his own heart. If its owner shows any self-deception, it will not be able to exert its due strength.
But that’s no problem for Professor Flitwick, right?
“Is this the new wizard enrolled this year? I think he will definitely need a handy wand.”
After chatting for a few words, Ollivander naturally noticed Li Xuan who was standing behind Professor Flitwick and looking around curiously. After all, Professor Flitwick couldn’t stop him, right?
“Yes Mr. Ollivander, I think I need a wand.”
“Every wizard has his own wand, and the compatibility between the two must be perfect. You have to know that it is the wand that chooses its master. If a wizard encounters an unsuitable wand, the magic he can perform will be greatly reduced.”
Li Xuan nodded in agreement. Just look at the red-haired friend of a certain savior, who was hit by the slug curse but ended up being the one who got hit.
Every magic wand is unique. The properties of the selected wood, the properties of the magical creature from which the wand core is made, and the properties of its owner. Only when these three points are combined together can the magic wand become a true magic wand and exert its due power.
Li Xuan understood this truth. To a certain extent, the wand is the wizard’s closest companion!
The two learn from each other and promote each other.
No single description of the characteristics of each wood or core can represent all wands of that type, for even wands made of the same materials and dimensions will experience something different.
Chapter 16: Strange Wand (2/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 16: Strange Wands (2/3)
As Ollivander spoke, he used a magic measuring tape to measure Li Xuan’s height, arm length, head circumference and other data, which made Li Xuan feel awe-inspiring.
Is the size of the head also one of the wand’s criteria for ‘selecting a mate’?
Well, Li Xuan didn’t understand, so he naturally wouldn’t ask. After all, Ollivander was the professional when it came to magic wands.
After all, there are thousands of wands at Ollivanders, and such measurements can reduce the number of inappropriate wands.
“Your dominant hand?”
“Right hand!”
“Well, let’s see which wand will choose you this time?”
Ollivander put away the measuring tape, went to the pile of wand boxes, pulled out one, and took out a light gray wand from it.
“Pinewood, Dragon Heartstring, thirteen inches!”
Li Xuan reached out and took the wand handed to him by Ollivander. He waved it gently, but nothing happened, which meant that this wand was not suitable for Li Xuan.
Poplar, holly, hornbeam, redwood, walnut…
Unicorn fur, phoenix feathers, dragon heartstrings, veela hair…
In the next ten minutes, Li Xuan tried dozens of wands, but he couldn’t find one that suited him, and his hands were almost tired of holding them.
Ollivander was not angry at this picky little wizard, but became even more interested in him.
Finally, Ollivander took out a dusty box from the corner and handed it to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan opened it and found the wand inside was a little strange, because it didn’t seem to be a magic wand, but made of two kinds of wood, one black and one gold, alternating with each other. If it wasn’t for the fact that the material was wood and not anything else, Li Xuan would have really thought that this was not a magic wand but a toy wand. He had never seen such a wand before.
But the combination of the two colors looks unexpectedly good, completely different from the ordinary gray or black wands.
When Li Xuan picked up the wand, he felt a special feeling as soon as he touched it, as if the wand originally belonged to him. That sense of perfect fit was a feeling that so many wands had never given Li Xuan before.
Li Xuan couldn’t wait any longer and waved the magic wand in his hand just like he had done dozens of times before.
Suddenly, sparks and arcs appeared from the tip of the black and gold magic wand, along with wisps of thin black gas.
Li Xuan could sense that he could control both the electric arc and the black gas, so he made a plan in his mind.
To the astonishment of Professor Flitwick and Ollivander, arcs of electricity and black gas gradually formed an image of dark clouds and thunder in the sky.
The dark and rolling clouds, appearing and disappearing in the middle of the sea, the arcs of electricity falling irregularly from the clouds, and the burning sparks, this scene was enough to shock them.
“Perfect fit! Perfect handling!”
Professor Flitwick and Ollivander couldn’t help but applaud the scene before them, and looked at Li Xuan with surprise in their eyes.
This little wizard is able to achieve such delicate control over magic, which is truly astonishing. It is hard to believe that he is of Muggle origin.
But what Li Xuan and Ollivander didn’t know was that this scene was not only seen by the three of them.
Just now, a curious little girl who passed by the wand shop also saw this scene through the window.
If it weren’t for a wizard in a emerald green robe and her parents shouting at her to hurry up, this delicate-looking little girl with fluffy brown hair would have stopped and continued watching, and might have even pushed the door open.
Somewhat unwillingly, she hurriedly followed the pace of her elders, but before leaving, she memorized the appearance of the little wizard. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party must be a freshman entering Hogwarts like herself, and she would definitely meet him then.
She felt that she noticed him not because of his looks and temperament, but because of his appearance and temperament, which were like those of an ancient oriental aristocrat. She would remember him in her mind and heart at a glance.
“Mr. Ollivander, can you tell me about this wand? I feel like there are five powers in it, which is not the case with ordinary wands, and its appearance is also different.”
Not only Li Xuan, but even Professor Flitwick looked over curiously. After all, he had lived for so many years, and it could be said that it was the first time he had seen such a strange wand.
Seeing that Li Xuan and Professor Flitwick were both looking at him, Ollivander looked at the wand in Li Xuan’s hand, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.
“I came across this wand by chance when I was out and about when I was young…”
As Ollivander continued speaking, Li Xuan finally understood that the wand was made of acacia wood and yew wood.
This is a tree that grew out of nowhere, half acacia and half yew. It was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm and was discovered and brought back by Ollivander.
You know, it’s rare to see two types of trees combined together in nature.
Even if there is, it is just close together, or like vines, or should I say, entangled like ropes.
But a tree like the one before us, which looked like a sapling of acacia or yew, was of course unheard of and had never been seen before.
Chapter 17 Reincarnation (3/3) (Old Version)
Such a peculiar wood would naturally arouse the interest of Ollivander, the wand master, and with interest he would naturally want to make it into a wand.
So Ollivander brought back all the usable parts of the tree after it was struck by lightning, intending to use them to make magic wands.
Putting aside such a strange phenomenon of you in me and me in you, both acacia and yew are very rare and scarce woods, and it is worth it to be able to pick up such wood for free.
However, this wood, just like its appearance, is very strange and unique. In the process, Ollivander wasted a lot of wood before he realized that this other wood did not have only one core like ordinary wands, but two!
Well, thinking of this, Ollivander started to itch his hands again, and he got a little stuck in a rut. It was only when the wood was only good enough to make a wand that he came to his senses.
I just thought of two kinds of core materials and just kept working on it. Looking at the countless wasted wood on the ground, I felt so heartbroken that I couldn’t breathe.
Naturally, this last one will not be used easily, it must be foolproof.
Then a light bulb went off in my head, and I thought that this wood had survived the lightning strike, which was life and death. Acacia wood and yew wood were also life and death in another sense.
Considering this line of thought, the Phoenix, which symbolizes the rebirth of life, and the Thestrals, which can only be seen after experiencing death, came into Ollivander’s eyes.
Of course, he didn’t do it the moment he thought of it. Ollivander also made other combinations, but he really couldn’t find a better ratio than this one. So after making up his mind, he took the last bit of wood to make it.
Sure enough, it hit the target with one shot!
Therefore, this unique wand, whether in terms of wood or proportions, can be said to be Ollivander’s pinnacle work. No wand could make Ollivander feel more accomplished than this one.
Of course, a unique magic wand is more picky in choosing its owner, so even after decades of production, it still hasn’t found a suitable owner.
Ollivander had given up hope, thinking that he would never be able to see the owner of this wand in his lifetime, but he didn’t expect that he would actually be able to.
If Li Xuan hadn’t been picky just now, he wouldn’t have thought of this magic wand.
After all, Ollivander felt that perhaps no one in the world could control such a wand.
Just look at the materials used and you will understand after I introduce them to you.
Acacia wands made from it will refuse to serve anyone other than their own masters. They only fully demonstrate their performance to the most talented people. This particularity makes acacia wands difficult to adapt to most people. Their masters need to be delicate, sharp and powerful enough.
You see, acacia wood itself is a picky material, and there are many that can meet the requirements.
That leaves the yew wood. Yew wands grant their bearer power over life and death, and have a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in dueling and all realms of curse.
Look, doesn’t this wood feel like it’s exclusive to dark wizards?
Phoenix feathers are the rarest type of wand core material. Phoenix feather wand cores have the widest coverage when casting magic, but require longer casting time than unicorn hair and dragon heartstrings.
This type of wand is very active and not all wizards like it. Phoenix feather wands are the most picky when choosing their owners, because the phoenix itself is a rare creature in the world and this type of wand is the most difficult to tame.
Let’s take a look at the Thestral’s tail hair. The Thestral’s tail hair is a strange substance. Currently, only the Elder Wand has used this material as the palm. Legend has it that only wizards who can control death can control it.
Well, let’s take a look, which of these materials is not picky about its owner?
This is no longer a question of 1+1+1+1=4. In a sense, it can be infinite. It is almost impossible to find a wizard who meets the standards of all four materials at the same time.
He has survived life and death, is strong and talented, and is recognized by the Phoenix.
In this way, there is really no one else except Li Xuan. He perfectly meets all these conditions. Without him, this magic wand would just be left in the corner gathering dust.
After traveling through life and death, he can be said to be reborn. With the help of the Innate Five Elements Tower, he is very powerful even before entering school.
With the help of the Spirit Pearl of Ten Thousand Beasts and the natural affinity with animals, it is not difficult to obtain anything from the Phoenix.
It can be said that such a magic wand is specially prepared for Li Xuan, an exclusive magic wand.
If put in the game, it can be said that the legendary exclusive equipment +1!
As for Li Xuan’s current wand, he would not even exchange it for the Elder Wand, one of the Three Deathly Hallows. After all, such a perfectly matching wand can be said to be the only one in the world. Not to mention that Li Xuan feels that this wand is no worse than the Elder Wand, and may even be stronger.
From the scene where Li Xuan used the magic wand just now, we can tell that this magic wand not only has the power of life and death, but also the power of fire and lightning.
The flame of life and death is easy to understand, but the extra power of thunder and lightning is what is left over from that lightning strike, allowing this magic wand to possess the additional power of thunder and lightning, making it even more incredible.
“Reincarnation!”
In the end, Li Xuan named the magic wand this, representing the power of life and death. Only these two words can explain it. He is a little arrogant, but no one in this world cares about him.
If Li Xuan didn’t say it, no one would understand.
However, after Li Xuan made the decision, the wand in his hand seemed to agree with the name and shook slightly, but Li Xuan’s mind was not on it and he did not notice it.
Chapter 18 Small World (1/3) (Old Version)
At home, Li Xuan was sitting on the sofa. Next to him, the snow-white owl he bought, or should I say, a snowy owl, was standing there, combing its hair obediently.
Li Xuan’s snowy owl looks a bit like Hathaway from Harry Potter, but also a little different. Hathaway from Harry Potter has some black spots on her body.
But the feathers of Li Xuan’s snow owl were all snow-white, like a snow elf.
Li Xuan also liked it very much, but he didn’t give it a name because he didn’t plan to name his own animals for the time being. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he would have no shortage of magical animals in the future.
Naming them all is a big problem. As for mixing them up, Li Xuan probably doesn’t know how to do it. Don’t doubt a child who wants to be a master of magical creatures!
I am a Pokémon who knows the three magical skills of “Get out of the way!”, “Stand up” and “Come on!”… A master of magical creatures!
After leaving Ollivander’s Wand Shop that day, Li Xuan and Professor Flitwick went to the somewhat dark Ira Owl Shop to buy this rare pure white snowy owl and some owl food, then went to Madam Malkin’s robe shop to get their uniforms and went home.
After all, new students can bring an owl, a cat or a toad. Compared with cats and toads, Li Xuan feels that he likes a snowy owl more.
As for another rule, first-year students are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks, and Li Xuan himself doesn’t like the sport of Quidditch very much.
After all, the rules are not fair at all, and they are very heroic without any competitive spirit. Therefore, Li Xuan doesn’t like it very much, mainly because he is no longer at the age where he likes to show off.
Wouldn’t it be nice to spend more time in your own little world and take care of it?
He could clearly feel his power increasing, and the small world getting better little by little under his transformation. That sense of accomplishment really made Li Xuan, who had the attributes of a hamster, extremely fascinated.
Li Xuan looked at the reincarnation wand in his right hand and the poplar wood wand in his left hand, and couldn’t help but smile.
I originally thought that my wand would be made of chestnut, but I didn’t expect that the two wands I had were not made of chestnut at all.
As for why Li Xuan thought it was Li Mu, it will become clear after reading Li Mu’s explanation.
The properties of chestnut wood itself are like a blank sheet of paper, with almost no tendencies. Depending on the core of the wand, the properties of the chestnut wand will be different. The color of the wand will also be different depending on the owner’s personality.
Chestnut wands are often chosen by experienced trainers of magical creatures, witches and wizards with a knack for herbology, or skilled flyers.
See, don’t you think there is nothing wrong with Li Xuan’s idea? As a trainer with rich experience in training magical creatures, Li Xuan should at least be related to it, right?
Just by looking at this introduction, you can actually understand that this chestnut wand is not only suitable for Li Xuan, but also for Neville and Harry Potter.
After all, one of them would become the Herbology professor at Hogwarts in the future, and the other would be the youngest Seeker in Gryffindor’s history.
But as mentioned before, the uniform description of each type of wood cannot represent all wands of that type, so even if it looks very suitable, it may not be a perfect match for it.
“Let’s go, Snow Owl, it’s time for us to enter the small world!”
Li Xuan said to Xue Xiao with a smile, put away the two magic wands, and Li Xuan flashed with Xue Xiao and went directly into the small world.
Li Xuan entered the small world and smiled happily at the lush and vibrant scene in front of him.
“Cuckoo, cuckoo”
As for the Snow Owl, it was not the first time it entered the small world. As soon as it came in, it spread its wings and flew high, letting itself go.
Li Xuan ignored it and let it play. Here it could fly freely. You know, in this one year, the small world expanded to one hundred square kilometers, ten times larger.
With Li Xuan’s reckless investment, countless plants and seeds, as well as various creatures were placed into the small world.
Li Xuan brought in all creatures that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. Biodiversity was achieved, and a complete food chain was formed. Only then was the small world able to expand tenfold in such a short year.
In the future, the growth rate may not continue to be so rapid. After all, the ecology of Li Xuan’s small world has been perfected by Li Xuan.
In order to meet various future needs, Li Xuan even built a small active volcano at the southernmost tip of the small world and a super large iceberg at the northernmost tip.
Don’t ask how it was done. It took a lot of innate spiritual fluid to change the world.
Fortunately, after the transformation, Li Xuan no longer has to worry about it too much. He usually only needs to use some spiritual liquid converted from the Five Elements Spirit Array to maintain it, and not much is used in a year.
Otherwise, even with Li Xuan’s wealth, he couldn’t afford to spend so much. Building a small world is not that easy.
However, since there is a temperature difference in the small world, wind will form and there will be rainfall. At least the weather system has been simply set up by Li Xuan.
On the side close to the iceberg, Li Xuan also created a huge lake. It certainly cannot be called an ocean. With such a small area, it can only be called a lake.
The water source of the entire small world is diverted from this lake. Li Xuan slightly raised the terrain in the north, so that the water can flow from north to south.
The further south you flow, the hotter the climate becomes, and the more water vapor evaporates. In the process of alternating between cold and hot air, the hot air condenses into water droplets when it encounters cold air when flowing northward.
It just barely formed a simple water circulation. Li Xuan was just doing it this way anyway. Even if it didn’t work, he was still there, right?
With his ability to change the world in his small world, this is nothing. If it doesn’t work, he can just change it again.
Chapter 19 The First Fantastic Beast (2/3) (Old Version)
In the small world, Li Xuan also built a house for himself, which was similar to Number 8 Privet Drive outside, but just an enlarged version.
By the way, since we mentioned the construction of the small world before, let me briefly talk about the layout of the small world. From north to south, there are icebergs, lakes, forests, grasslands, and volcanoes.
Li Xuan’s villa is built near the boundary between the lake and the forest, and can be called a real lake view room.
When Li Xuan was about to enter his villa, several snake-like and bird-like creatures suddenly flew over from the sky. Seeing them, Li Xuan smiled and stopped.
These big guys with blue and green bodies are the first magical animals in Li Xuan’s small world, bird snakes!
The five bird snakes in front of him were the ones that Li Xuan had harvested from the bag of the Ravenclaw dark wizard.
The eggs of bird snakes are made of the purest and softest silver, so their eggs are coveted by greedy wizards, so it is normal to harvest bird snake eggs here.
These five little guys can be said to be the dominant ones in this small world. No one cares about them, whether they have natural enemies or not. They are all ordinary creatures here.
Cows, sheep, pigs, birds and the like, if bird snakes don’t eat these things, there may not be enough for them to eat.
Looking at the creature landing towards him, it has wings, two legs, and a bird’s head, but a slender body like a snake, and is covered with feathers. This is why it is called a bird snake.
Anyway, Li Xuan also discovered that in the world of Hogwarts, especially in the Western world, many of the magical animals are a mixture of several animals.
It should be said that they were all created by the crossbreeding of wizards in the past. This bird-snake is the most classic one. Wasn’t it the same with the basilisk that wreaked havoc in Hogwarts two years later?
The dark wizard, known as Herpo the Vile, placed eggs under the body of a toad to hatch, and thus the basilisk was created.
Look, a classic example.
“Uh~”
The bird snakes that saw Li Xuan from a distance started to shout happily. Their bodies, which were originally more than ten meters long and the size of buckets, gradually shrank as they approached Li Xuan, and finally became small snakes only twenty or thirty centimeters long.
There was no way. With that size just now, Li Xuan couldn’t stop one of them, let alone five. It was best to keep it in this mini size, just like the size of a newborn.
It is here in Li Xuan that the babies can grow so strong just one year after being born. One reason is that the environment here is good. It’s not that there are picturesque scenery, but that there is abundant spiritual energy. Otherwise, these little guys wouldn’t be so smart.
The second is that there is enough food. Generally speaking, bird snakes feed on mice and birds, but Li Xuan thinks that mice have too many bacteria and are dirty. Even bamboo rats and mountain rats are not very popular with Li Xuan, so he did not bring them into the small world.
The main reason is that there are no corresponding predators here. Li Xuan still has some considerations for this kind of creature that can easily become a disaster.
But there were no mice. Instead, Li Xuan introduced rabbits. Rabbits, like mice, are very fertile. However, Li Xuan also introduced predators of the rabbits. Although there were not many, they were enough to control the number of rabbits.
For example, there were a few wolves, foxes, and even tigers.
Later, Li Xuan taught these birds and snakes how to prey on rabbits. Wolves and foxes could only catch rabbits on the ground.
The bird snake can be said to have directly destroyed the whole house. Don’t forget what the bird snake’s ability is, it can stretch and shrink at will.
It can become big or small, and can shrink or expand according to the space it is in. Tigers and wolves cannot get into the rabbit hole, but for birds and snakes, it is not a problem at all!
If the rabbits living in the small world were not a little bigger in size, and the plants they ate also absorbed some spiritual energy, and they themselves were not bad and contained a lot of energy, and the birds and snakes could eat one meal to last for several days, they might have been easily eaten.
But it doesn’t matter. In addition to rabbits, Li Xuan also raises pheasants and other kinds of animals. Under Li Xuan’s teaching, these birds and snakes have no restrictions on their diets and are not picky eaters. Unlike those slutty creatures outside, Li Xuan doesn’t have to worry too much about them.
Li Xuan also had a plan in mind. If the magical creature he obtained later was a big eater, Li Xuan would raise some other fast-reproducing animals, which would not be a difficult task.
If the bird snake had not slowed down a lot after entering the water, the countless fish and shrimps in the lake would have been enough for them to eat.
“Hahaha, you little guys are still so clingy.”
Five bird snakes flapped their wings and landed on my body, two on each shoulder and one hanging on my neck. They were shouting and making a lot of noise, but looking at how clingy they were, I knew they were expressing their joy and longing.
Carrying a few bird snakes, Li Xuan walked into the villa. There were many rooms in the villa, and Li Xuan also left one specially for them.
Li Xuan has their nests and containers of various sizes. Anyway, these little babies like to hide here and there.

Chapter 20: Learning to Hide Your Incompetence (3/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 20: Learning to Hide My Incompetence (3/3)
There is still some time before school starts, and our Harry Potter is still battling wits with his uncle Dursley. He hasn’t moved out yet, but it looks like he will move out soon.
As for why Li Xuan was so concerned about their whereabouts, it was not out of curiosity, nor was it to watch the show with evil taste, nor was it to calculate the start time of school, but he had his own plans.
As for what the plan is, the time has not yet come.
On this day, Li Xuan came to the Leaky Cauldron again. His purpose of coming to Diagon Alley this time was, of course, to scout the area and exchange gold Galleons for a large purchase at the Fantastic Beasts Shop.
After all, Professor Flitwick was there last time, so Li Xuan couldn’t act so recklessly. After all, what was the purpose of a Muggle-born wizard apprentice buying so many magical creatures?
Could it be that they want to torture or dissect it for research?
The small world can be said to be Li Xuan’s biggest secret, and he will not expose it. Therefore, even if this will cause a lot of trouble, Li Xuan is willing to do so, just to avoid leaving any traces.
As for how to prevent others from recognizing Li Xuan, don’t forget that Li Xuan can borrow the power of the magical animals in the small world.
What are the abilities of bird snakes?
It can be stretched and retracted at will to any size you wish, and the size of the body can be changed according to your own ideas.
Therefore, Li Xuan, who was able to borrow the abilities of birds and snakes, could naturally disguise himself as an adult wizard.
Once I put on a black robe, a hood, and a mask inside, who could recognize me?
His entire body was wrapped tightly, even his hands were covered with gloves. The gloves were very stretchable so his wrists would not be exposed when he was moving.
After all, there are already quite a few young protagonists who can be recognized because of their hands and wrists.
Don’t think that Li Xuan’s outfit is very eye-catching. In the wizarding world, it can only be said that it is not mainstream, but it is not very rare.
The last time Li Xuan and Professor Flitwick were shopping in Diagon Alley, he saw a lot of people dressed like this, and he asked Professor Flitwick at that time.
The answer was to avoid getting close to wizards dressed like this, because such wizards were either from the dark and gray areas, or they were werewolves, or they had quirks in their personalities that they didn’t want to be seen by others.
Anyway, in the wizarding world where idealism is supreme, there are all kinds of people.
Therefore, Li Xuan was not afraid that he would attract attention by dressing like this. On the contrary, this kind of dress could invisibly avoid many troubles for Li Xuan, because in the eyes of ordinary wizards, dressing like this undoubtedly meant trouble.
Li Xuan’s magic wand is so conspicuous and unique that he naturally won’t take it out. Otherwise, what’s the point of these disguises?
Naturally, he used the poplar wood staff. The wizard from Ravenclaw was originally a dark wizard, so Li Xuan could use his vest to disguise himself for a while.
As for the later stage, when Li Xuan’s strength is improved, what can you do to me even if he doesn’t disguise himself?
Of course, Li Xuan is not such a person. The “moderation” engraved in the souls of us Donghuang people means that we are destined not to be the most handsome guy in the crowd.
However, our endless background will become the most mysterious and untouchable existence in people’s eyes. As for why I say so, you will understand after reading one sentence.
One generation is put into service, one generation is reserved, one generation is produced, one generation is researched, and one generation is launched.
Just look at this sentence and you will understand. You think this is my highest level, but in fact I can still come up with version 2.0.
You thought 2.0 had reached its peak, but 3.0 was already in production, 4.0 was almost finished, and 5.0 was already in the project stage.
You didn’t expect that, did you? If you want to surpass it completely in one go, you have to evolve five times directly to be able to completely suppress it. But do you have that ability?
Besides, how do you know that 5.0 is the final version and there won’t be 6.0, 7.0 or even 10.0?
Like Li Xuan, he also plans to divide his strength into levels. He only uses his own abilities, that is, his magic wand and the spells he has learned are 1.0.
Borrowing the power of magical animals is 2.0, and using the spirit beads of all beasts and the innate five elements tower is 3.0.
As for whether it will be divided into 4.0 and 5.0 in the future, we don’t know yet, but it is also very likely. For example, if we borrow from Fantastic Beasts, it can actually be divided into more than two levels.
After all, some magical creatures are strong and some are weak. Li Xuan now only has birds and snakes. Even if he goes to the Magical Creatures Store to make a large purchase later, he can basically forget about it as he can sell them all. Moreover, they are in Diagon Alley, not Knockturn Alley, which means that their strength will not be too strong. So let’s make this general classification for the time being.
He exchanged 5,000 gold Galleons from Gringotts at one time, which was enough for Li Xuan’s expenses this time.
He put everything into a bag cast with a traceless extension charm, and once again rejected the goblins’ suggestion to open a vault in Gringotts.
Haha, even dogs don’t open a safe at Gringotts, so what’s the safest thing? Just laugh it off.
Chapter 21: Breeding Permit (1/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 21: Breeding Permit (1/3)
By the way, don’t worry that Li Xuan can’t lift these 5,000 gold Galleons. As for the Traceless Extension Spell, there is a time limit for beginners to cast it on objects. At the same time, the area will not be very large, and the weight will not be eliminated. In other words, the total weight of the items you put in is the amount you can hold.
Do you think it’s a bit useless? It’s because I can’t lift so many things that I need the help of the Traceless Extension Spell. But you said there’s no way to eliminate it. What’s the point of having you?
But as mentioned before, the power of a spell is not only related to the amount of magic power, but also to the wizard. To be more precise, it is related to the wizard’s understanding of the spell and his proficiency in it.
For example, a cutting spell, in Ron’s hands, could only cut threads or sleeves, but in the hands of the dark wizard who attacked Li Xuan, it was a deadly weapon.
As I mentioned just now, that is for beginners. Once you have mastered it, you can keep it permanently and the area can be expanded at least ten times. However, the weight can only be reduced by half, there is no way to reduce the other half.
If you want to achieve the level of storage bags and storage rings in novels, you have to master this spell.
Like the bag in Li Xuan’s hand, although the space is not particularly large, it has reached the level of mastery of the Traceless Stretching Spell.
In fact, Li Xuan could also use the bag of the Traceless Stretching Spell to cover it up and put it directly in the warehouse of the small world. Nothing is safer than there.
But I’ll need it at the Fantastic Beasts store soon, so I’m too lazy to fiddle with it.
Arriving at the Magical Creatures shop, Li Xuan took a look and, as expected, the magical creatures sold here were basically those at danger level XXX or below.
As for danger levels XXXX and XXXXX, they don’t exist at all. By the way, the danger level classification is explained in Newt Scamander’s book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
XXXXX Animals known to kill wizards/impossible to tame or domesticate, XXXX Dangerous/requires specialized knowledge/can only be dealt with by a skilled wizard.
XXX can be dealt with by a competent wizard, XX harmless/can be tamed, X annoying.
The danger level of the bird snake that Li Xuan obtained is XXXX. Unexpectedly, right? But think about it, if the bird snakes grow unscrupulously, their body size can indeed reach this level.
The entire Magical Creatures store was extremely crowded, with cages densely packed on the walls, too numerous to count.
There are quite a few animals for sale in the store, but they are mostly various pets.
For example, there are poisonous orange snails, giant turtles with gemstones on their shells, sleek black mice, cats of various colors, cats, owls, etc.
Li Xuan took a look and bought all the Billywig worms, Bowtruckles, and four Nifflers in the store. Pu Rongrong also bought dozens of them.
As for why the Cattails weren’t bought out, it was mainly because there were too many Cattails here. The purchase of new students was the peak season for business, and small creatures like Cattails were the best-selling ones, so the Magical Creatures Shop bought almost a hundred of them.
Li Xuan doesn’t need so much Pu Rongrong. Although he is not short of money, he can’t make it like this!
Besides, even if you buy them all, the happiest person is the shop owner, because he can still go back to purchase more. Pu Rongrong is not some other rare magical animal, and you can have as many of these little creatures as you want.
In addition to the four magical animals mentioned above, Li Xuan also discovered that there was a pair of blackbirds for sale in the magical animal store, one was pink and the other was lime green. Li Xuan’s collecting habit came up.
You know, it’s not that easy to see the Arachnid in Diagon Alley, after all, the Arachnid’s origin is not on the mainland.
But when Li Xuan wanted to buy the pair of blackbirds, he was asked whether he had a license to raise blackbirds.
Li Xuan then remembered that because the call of the evil bird was extremely high-pitched and would make anyone who heard it lose their mind, the evil bird could only be sold after the silencing spell was cast, and the silencing spell needed to be strengthened every month.
So in order to prevent the cries of the thrush from causing trouble, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that wizards must obtain a license before raising thrushes. After all, this kind of bird must be treated seriously.
Just like wizards who own hippogriffs, Ministry of Magic law requires that the hippogriff be Disillusioned once to confuse any Muggles who might see it, and again every day.
Of course Li Xuan didn’t have the Evil Bird’s license, and he hadn’t even mastered the Silence Spell, so he could only say goodbye to the Evil Bird for the time being.
As for why it was said to be temporary, it was naturally because Li Xuan gave the other party a very friendly price and let the other party keep the pair of evil birds for him.
Seeing Li Xuan’s generosity and the large order this time, the shop owner naturally had no objection. Even if Li Xuan didn’t say anything, he still planned to build more relationships with Li Xuan.
Such a super big customer must have a good relationship. Who would have trouble with Jin Galleon? Looking at the other party’s appearance, it seems that the magical animal in front of him cannot satisfy his appetite.
Who doesn’t like such a guest?
Since the store owner had shown it so obviously, and he had been dealing in magical creatures for so many years and his channels must be stronger than his own, Li Xuan placed a lot more orders and paid a deposit in advance, which made the smile on the other party’s face brighter.
In the end, Li Xuan left with the magical animals he bought with the farewell of the shop owner. The purpose of his visit this time had been achieved.
Chapter 22 2345 (2/3) (Old version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 22, 23, 45 (2/3)
All the so-called big and small bags were put into the small world after Li Xuan turned and entered an empty alley. He had no intention of carrying dozens of magical animals home.
It’s like a firefly in the dark, very obvious.
Li Xuan even walked around Diagon Alley a few more times and found that no one was following him. After leaving Diagon Alley, he used Apparition to return to No. 8 Privet Drive.
It took off all the camouflage on its body and then restored its body shape. I have to say that the bird snake’s ability is really useful.
Li Xuan even used it partially. After all, he was definitely not the only one who had this idea!
Just like the survey about the abilities of superheroes in the previous life, do you want the speed of The Flash, or Ant-Man’s controllable ability to grow or shrink?
uh-huh?
I won’t say much about the results and everyone’s thoughts. After all, the river crab god is elusive and no one dares to provoke him. Let’s just take a look at the magical animals we harvested today.
After entering the small world, Billywig and Bowtruckle were placed in the villa built by Li Xuan.
Now the five bird snakes are constantly swimming around and looking at them curiously. With Li Xuan’s guidance, they will not hurt these magical animals recklessly.
Especially since they are trapped in cages, birds and snakes are mainly afraid that these little guys will come out and run around and cause damage.
Seeing Li Xuan coming in, the five bird snakes flapped their wings and lay on Li Xuan as usual, taking credit from Li Xuan one after another, proving that he had taken good care of the tree-guarding bowtruckles when he was not around.
“You guys did a great job. I’ll make you some grilled fish later!”
Li Xuan touched the head of each bird snake in turn. But that was Li Xuan. If it were someone else, not only would they not even touch it, they would bite it off if they reached out their hand.
Perhaps it is the unattainable that always causes unrest?
Because they couldn’t go down to the lake to catch fish, when Li Xuan caught some fish and grilled them, these birds and snakes were curious and wanted to eat them.
In the end, I was conquered by the taste of the grilled fish. It was not the kind with a lot of barbecue ingredients, but the purest grilled fish.
This kind of grilled fish is most suitable for their taste, and Li Xuan later used it as a reward.
Although it doesn’t matter whether there are birds and snakes guarding or not, after all, there are cages, and Li Xuan has also set up restrictions in some places, and no one can enter without his permission.
For example, Li Xuan simply hid the innate five elements spirit liquid pool and the five elements spirit gathering formation so that no one or animal could see or touch them, thus solving the problem from the root.
Avoid wasting the innate five elements spiritual fluid and destroying the five elements spiritual gathering formation.
Li Xuan first released the Pu Rongrong, which had the largest number in the cage. These little creatures, which had a danger level of XX, could be seen all over the world.
It has a body shape like a small ball, and is covered with soft cream-yellow fur. These gentle little guys are very clingy and not afraid of people at all.
The docile temperament of the Puffs has endeared them to generations of wizarding children, and they remain popular pets among wizards.
There were even a few of them playfully climbing onto Li Xuan’s body. They had no special reaction to people’s hugs and throwing.
These little guys are also very easy to take care of, and when you take good care of them and they are very satisfied, they will hum a short tune that humans can’t understand.
From time to time, a very thin pink tongue would emerge from the middle of its body, stretching and spitting around the room like a snake, looking for food.
The cattail is a scavenger, eating everything from scraps to spiders.
It particularly enjoys sticking its tongue up into the noses of sleeping wizards and eating their dried boogers.
But Li Xuan didn’t like this. For Li Xuan, everything else was fine, but hygiene must be strictly observed.
Therefore, Pu Rongrong must change this habit, and he cannot eat rotten food. He doesn’t have much else here, but he will not lack food.
There is no need to worry that Li Xuan cannot teach these Pu Rongrong and that they find it impossible to communicate. With the existence of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl, that is not a problem at all.
He ordered these dozens of them to stand neatly in front of him as if they were in a queue. After telling them his rules, Li Xuan let them disperse.
After seeing these little guys, the happiest person was not Li Xuan, but the five bird snakes. After all, for them it was like having so many more companions all of a sudden.
In their eyes, all animals living in the small world are food. Only those magical animals that are also human-like can be considered partners. Li Xuan also issued an order not to allow magical animals to harm or prey on each other.
Some brave Pu Rongrong even climbed onto the back of a bird snake and let it carry them into the sky.
Li Xuan didn’t care about these little guys and let them make as much noise as they wanted. These cats were kept as pets.
Looking at the remaining magical creatures, Li Xuan decided to release the four little nifflers first.
Chapter 23: The Magical Animals People Most Want to Obtain (3/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 23: The Most Desirable Magical Creatures (3/3)
These four Nifflers are all different colors, unlike Newt Scamander’s pure black one.
These four are always black and white, one is yellow and white, one is pure black but has a small tuft of white hair on its neck, and the last one is dark green all over, but also has a small tuft of white hair on its neck.
Even though they were locked in a cage, the four little guys were restless and kept playing and fighting. Or should I say, they were playing the human pyramid game.
But the dark green Niffler and black Niffler at the bottom are not so happy!
“You little guys, come out!”
Li Xuan opened the cage, and when the four little sniffers saw that the cage was opened, they no longer cared about playing around, and ran out of the cage in an instant with their short legs as fast as they could.
As soon as I came out, I was “shocked” by the decoration in the house. Or perhaps I should say I felt like I had entered a treasure house.
All kinds of glittering things exuded a strong temptation to them. When they were ready to move their short legs to rush towards the treasure, they found that they could not move, and they could not help but cry out anxiously.
Looking at these four little guys, Li Xuan smiled helplessly. No wonder these little things would make people love and hate them. The love is naturally because these little guys have the function of exploring treasures. They will present the gold coins they find to their owners, and they will bring them to their owners with their mouths.
This animal is covered with long, black hair and has a platypus-like mouth, just like a stuffed toy. It loves everything that glitters, loves to run away, and loves to collect all glittering items, such as diamonds, jewelry, gold coins, etc.
There is a storage space on their stomachs where they can store the treasures they find, but if they hold them upside down and scratch their stomachs, the contents will fall out.
Nicknamed “the money-making boy”, the Niffler has become the No. 1 pet that many people dream of. You can let it out during the day, catch it at night, scratch its belly, and then you can become rich without doing anything.
Even goblins often keep Nifflers to dig for treasure deep underground.
This kind of greedy and treasure-collecting nature does not care about age. Just look at these four anxious little guys.
Although the Niffler has a gentle personality and is even affectionate towards you, its greedy temper will not be restrained just because you are its owner.
So if you keep it at home, your treasure will definitely disappear inexplicably.
But if you can’t find it, you can definitely find it by looking for the Sniff, and sometimes you can even get some extra rewards.
When Li Xuan saw the Niffler in his previous life, he thought it would be great if he had a Niffler like this one.
At that time, I won’t have to work hard as a worker. I can just take Sniff out for a walk every day and earn money by lying down when I come back.
Don’t think too much! Lying down is not what you think it is. You can get the treasure that the Sniff brings to you just by lying down.
This is what it means to achieve true financial freedom. What’s the point of having a working spirit and thinking that workers are the best? This is just paralyzing yourself.
996, 007, as long as you work hard enough, your boss can drive a Ferrari!
As long as you work harder, your boss will be able to live the life he wants sooner!
This is the true portrayal, the previous one was just self-paralysis.
Li Xuan didn’t expect that after traveling through time, he would not only be able to own one, but even four. This is not just double the happiness, but double the double!
But in this world, even without Sniffing, Li Xuan would not lack wealth, but who doesn’t like to pick up money for free? Right!
“Stand still,” Li Xuan said to the four little guys who were standing still, “Don’t take or move things around. Do you hear me?”
The little sniffles looked at the ‘treasure’ in their home and nodded somewhat disappointedly. After all, they would definitely listen to Li Xuan’s words. After all, he was their master. The moment they entered the small world, they recognized their master.
Seeing the little sniffles like this, Li Xuan smiled. Of course, after a beating, he should give them a carrot to comfort them.
“To make it up to you, I’ve decided to give you one hundred gold Galleons as compensation. The little nest over there belongs to you, so you are not allowed to dig around in the house.”
When the little sniffers heard this, their disappointed expressions instantly disappeared, and were replaced by expressions as if they had won a super big prize, one hundred gold Galleons!!!
Li Xuan went on to say that generally the Nifflers would dig a nest for themselves twenty feet underground.
As for habits, these little guys are still young, just like birds and snakes, they can be trained from an early age, so there will naturally be no such problem.
“Hualal …
The sound of Li Xuan taking out a hundred gold Galleons and dropping them to the ground immediately made the four little sniffers open their eyes. As soon as Li Xuan released the restraint on them, they immediately ran to the pile of gold Galleons and rolled around.
Then he began to want to stuff the gold Galleons into the storage space in his stomach. However, they were so small now, and one gold Galleon was one-third of their size. How could they fit in?
But it doesn’t matter, the Sniff Moving Team is here!
Each of the four Nifflers held a gold Galleon in their platypus-like mouths and ran towards the nest that Li Xuan pointed out to them.
Chapter 24: Tool Pets (1/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 24: Tools and Pets (1/3)
These nests were prepared by Li Xuan a few days ago, because he knew that there would definitely be new magical animals arriving when he went to the Magical Creatures Shop, so he prepared nests for these little cuties in advance.
As for these little sniffers carrying gold Galleons, Li Xuan had no intention of lending a helping hand. These little guys’ greedy nature would not allow others to interfere.
Looking over there, there were curious Pu Rongrong who wanted to go over to take a look, but were chased away by the little sniffers with bared fangs and claws. Feeling bored, the Pu Rongrongs thought that the blue and green bird snakes were more friendly, so they all ran over.
Seeing that no one was disturbing them, the little nifflers continued to carry the gold galleons.
Li Xuan deliberately placed the gold Galleons here instead of directly putting them in their nests. In the eyes of others, the little sniffers were very hard-working and tired.
But how do you know that this is not the process that the other person is enjoying?
You are not a fish, so how do you know the joy of a fish?
Anyway, Li Xuan could feel the emotions of the little sniffers and knew that they were happy now. The joy of this harvest was stronger than finding this pile of gold Galleons directly in their nest!
Ignore these little guys, it looks like it will take quite some time to move them.
If Pu Rongrong and Xiu Xiu are kept as pets, then Li Xuan bought Billywig and Bowtruckle to use them as tool pets.
Bowtruckles can sometimes serve as part-time pets, but Billywigs with a danger level of XXX are purely tool pets.
It is about half an inch (1.3 cm) long, blue all over with a bright jade-like luster, and is an insect native to Australia and Asia.
The wings of the Billywig worm grow on both sides of its head and flap very quickly, so its body will rotate when it flies.
Because it moves so quickly, Muggles rarely notice it, and wizards rarely see it unless they are stung by it.
The sting of a Billywig is a long, thin stinger on the bottom of its body. Anyone stung by a Billywig will feel dizzy and then begin to float.
Even generations of young wizards in Australia and Asia have been trying to catch billywig bugs, just to let them sting them.
You wouldn’t have thought that their purpose was to obtain this incidental floating effect.
But if you get stung too much by a Billywig bug, congratulations, you’ll be floating in the air uncontrollably for the next few days and become the most beautiful thing.
This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that once there is a severe allergic reaction, permanent drifting will follow.
That is to say, from now on you will be a floating person, living in mid-air.
You have to tie a rope to your feet like a hot air balloon, otherwise you will be blown away by a gust of wind.
The dried Billywig sting is used in a variety of potions and is even believed to be an ingredient in the popular candy Fizzy Bees.
As to whether it is true or not, a young wizard asked Ambrosio Froome, the owner of Honeydukes, and the answer he got was: a good young wizard would find the answer himself.
Then, under the persuasion of Ambrose, he spent a lot of gold galleons to buy a bunch of fizzing bee candies in the name of research.
I have to say, this is a shrewd businessman.
Oh, and Fizz Bees are sherbet balls that make you float in the air, so it’s no surprise that people have this kind of speculation.
The ability of Billywig worms can sometimes have unexpected effects, which is why Li Xuan bought a lot of them. Of course, it was not to crack the secret recipe of Zizi Bee Candy.
Li Xuan also bought quite a few Billywig worms to release them and let them live in the small world. He was not afraid that he would have to buy more later if they could not reproduce.
Finally, there are the Bowtruckles. Bowtruckles are animals that protect trees. They are classified as dangerous level XX and mainly live in certain forests in western England, southern Germany and Scandinavia.
These little guys, whose bodies are made of bark and twigs, are looking at Li Xuan with their brown eyes. There is no fear in their eyes, only curiosity.
Don’t forget what Li Xuan’s passive talent is. It is even said that there is a bonus in the small world.
In addition, the Bowtruckle is a peaceful and extremely shy creature, so it naturally would not be aggressive towards Li Xuan. Not to mention that after being brought into the small world by Li Xuan, they were also keenly aware of the spiritual energy in the air.
The spiritual energy in the air is also good for them, so naturally they will not have any hostility towards Li Xuan.
So after Li Xuan opened the cage, they were smart and came out to stand in a line just like Pu Rongrong and the others were forced to do by Li Xuan.
Although it was a little crooked and not particularly neat, it had the right shape, but it gave Li Xuan a big surprise.
This shows that these little guys are very smart, and they can learn to imitate and read people’s expressions. Who wouldn’t like such little cuties?
Chapter 25 Planning (2/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 25: Planning (2/3)
As for these tree-guarding hunchbacks, Li Xuan naturally planned to release them all into the wild. After all, they are animals that protect trees.
Don’t be fooled by their harmless appearance, as they seem very easy to talk to.
But if the tree it inhabits is threatened, it will leap down and pounce on loggers trying to destroy its home, digging into their eyes with its long, sharp fingers.
This doesn’t mean there is no way to get wood from Bowtruckles. As long as you give these little guys some wood, they will be happy for a long time, and then these little foodies won’t care what you do.
This means that you can take wood from the tree and don’t think that the wood is useless.
Bowtruckles will not choose a tree without magical properties to inhabit, which means that the trees they guard are often suitable for making wands.
That is to say, the wood you take down can be used to make wands. Although you don’t know how to make it, you can sell it to Ollivander, and he will definitely give you a satisfactory price.
Take the Bowtruckles and Billywigs out; they naturally live in the forest.
Looking at the Billywigs that disappeared completely after being released, and the Bowtruckles that were stunned by the trees in front of them.
You wouldn’t have thought that, under the influence of spiritual energy, every tree has the potential to become a magic wand. Now they don’t know how to choose.
Li Xuan did not interfere with their choice, and watched them pick one by one.
In fact, this time Li Xuan did not get the magical animal he really wanted. What Li Xuan wanted were two magical animals, one was the ball-escaping bird, and the other was the invisible beast.
They are targeted because of their abilities. The ball-dodge bird is a fat, feathery bird that cannot fly.
But it is known for its extraordinary means of escaping danger, and can disappear without a trace and emerge from another place with ease.
This ability is a bit like teleportation, but also a bit like walking in dark space, which means that you can hide in another dimension of space, where you cannot be seen or noticed by others.
This ability is naturally a good means of escape, and this is also the purpose of Li Xuan wanting to obtain the invisible beast.
As the name of the invisible beast suggests, this is a magical animal that can become invisible. If Li Xuan obtains it, he can naturally make use of its ability to become invisible.
These two abilities will be very helpful for Li Xuan’s next plan or for what he wants to do in Hogwarts in the future.
But unfortunately, if magical animals like the Orb-Hunter with a danger level of XX can still be purchased in magical animal shops, then it is almost impossible to buy invisible beasts with a danger level of XXXX.
Not to mention whether the Ministry of Magic will sell it, it is not certain whether anyone can catch it.
After all, the invisible beast has more than just the ability to be invisible. When its eyes glow, it can foresee the future.
Combined with its invisibility ability, the possibility of capturing it is basically zero.
In addition, the fur of the invisible beast is very valuable, and its hair can be used to weave an invisibility cloak, so even if a wizard captures it, few will use it.
Coupled with the ban of the Ministry of Magic, invisible beasts like this basically cannot be traded openly.
If it weren’t for the fact that Li Xuan spent so much money at once, the owner of the Magical Creatures Shop might not have accepted his pre-order, fearing that it was a trap set by the Ministry of Magic.
In addition, magical animals such as the invisible beast can generally only be seen in the Far East, and only wizards who are good at catching it can see it.
Therefore, Li Xuan’s reservation can only be said to be completely left to fate.
Even the ball-eating bird may not be able to be bought, after all, the ball-eating bird’s ability to disappear freely makes it difficult to catch.
But it’s better than just sitting and waiting. One more channel means one more hope.
Seeing that these magical animals had settled down in the small world, Li Xuan didn’t care about them and left the small world.
The next day, Li Xuan turned aside, put on his hood, and went to the Leaky Cauldron again.
This time, he went there not to continue making large purchases, but to find an informant.
That’s right, it’s an informant. He doesn’t have to do anything. He just needs to stay in the Leaky Cauldron all day long. Then one day when he finds Hagrid passing by the Leaky Cauldron with a little boy, he just needs to tell you.
Hagrid is very easy to recognize because of his size. He is almost the only half-giant like him in the English wizarding world.
Besides, when he brought Harry Potter that day, he would definitely say Harry Potter’s name with his mouth.
It would definitely cause a huge sensation at that time, and there was no need to worry that the down-and-out wizard in front of him would not be able to hold back.
As for why Li Xuan wanted to know the day Hagrid brought Harry Potter to Diagon Alley, wasn’t it to see Harry Potter, because he hadn’t seen enough of the little guy this year?
There are still five or six years to go in the future. I want to know when he will come to Diagon Alley because there will be a theft in Gringotts that night.
Li Xuan wanted to take advantage of the chaos and take some things from Gringotts!
Chapter 26 begins (3/3) (old version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 26 Begins (3/3)
Time passed slowly bit by bit, and the Dursley family next door had moved away for some time.
If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xuan guessed that Hagrid would go to pick up Harry Potter soon, which means that these two days would be the days when Gringotts was robbed.
Of course, whether this theft was real or fake, a fact or just a drama, only those involved know!
After all, this is the real world, not the children’s book written by Ms. JK.
“It’s today?!”
Just when Li Xuan was thinking, he suddenly received a message from the wizard. It turned out that Hagrid had just taken Harry Potter to Diagon Alley.
Li Xuan looked at the calendar. August 29th was still three days before school started, which was a little earlier than the original schedule.
But it doesn’t matter, the butterfly effect is no stranger to Li Xuan, the “butterfly”.
Fortunately, I was well prepared, knowing that from the moment I came into this world, many things began to change slowly.
And as time goes by, more things will change, so you can still rely on the plot prophets in the beginning, but if you still want to rely on your familiarity with the plot to get everything in the middle and late stages, then I can only say that you will definitely be the one who gets eaten!
Since tonight is the time when the wizard in Gringotts will be ‘robbed’, it is time for me to start preparing.
Li Xuan stood up, entered the small world to prepare some things, changed his body shape, and went to the Leaky Cauldron Bar to book a room.
I opened the door, and the dim light couldn’t illuminate the entire room. Although it looked extremely dark, at least there was no peculiar smell. But it was normal when I thought about it. With the cleaning spell in place, it wouldn’t make sense for the room to be dirty and messy, right?
And the price is not cheap. For example, the room Li Xuan booked cost sixteen silver Sickles for two days, eight silver Sickles a day, which is almost one gold galleon.
As for why we booked it for two days, after all, isn’t it going to be done tonight?
That’s because Li Xuan still wants to sit back and watch what happens next.
Information is very important to Li Xuan. The so-called rebirth and time travel are actually relying on advanced information to develop oneself.
Li Xuan currently has no informants in the magic world, and no one is specifically collecting intelligence for him, so he can only do it by himself.
As for the room in the Leaky Cauldron, Li Xuan was just looking for the nearest place to stay, and he would not stay here at night.
The small, dim room had nothing in it except a boat, a table, a chair and a wardrobe.
Such living conditions are totally different from the lake view villa in the small world. Why don’t you go to a better place and instead suffer?
Looking at the time, it is about two o’clock in the afternoon. There is still time. Li Xuan enters the small world and takes a nap. He has to stay up late tonight, so he needs to conserve his energy!
Li Xuan slept very comfortably and solved the problem of dinner in the small world.
What’s for dinner?
Of course it was grilled fish. Li Xuan, who rarely came in and started a fire in the small world, was naturally pestered by the birds and snakes to fulfill his promise of grilled fish.
Not only the birds and snakes, but also the little nifflers and cattails were all beside Li Xuan, clamoring to eat together.
Because during this period of time, they lived with the birds and snakes, and were recommended the deliciousness of grilled fish by them more than once!
But unfortunately, neither the bird snake, the Niffler, nor the Pu Rongrong have the ability to go into the water to catch fish.
In addition, even if they caught the fish, they didn’t know how to roast it, let alone how to mix the seasonings, so if they wanted to eat it, they could only rely on Li Xuan.
Li Xuan naturally would not refuse. Even if there were more little sniffers and Pu Rongrongs, it would only be a matter of grilling a few more fish.
Given the size of the little nifflers, two of them would be full after eating one, not to mention Pu Rongrong, who doesn’t look small at all.
But basically, its body shape is supported by the soft cream-yellow fur, and its actual body is at most the size of a ping-pong ball.
In the end, it turned out just as Li Xuan expected. There were so many Pu Rongrongs that even three grilled fishes could not be finished. There was no other way as the fish were not big enough for snacks.
However, they also tasted the grilled fish that the birds and snakes had been craving for, and it tasted really good. No wonder the birds and snakes kept talking about it, they liked it too!
Don’t say that the Nifflers and Primroses don’t eat grilled fish. The Nifflers are omnivores, while Primroses usually eat leftovers in wizard families.
If leftovers can be eaten, then of course normal meals can be eaten as well.
As for the Billywig and Bowtruckle, no one knew where the former had flown to, unless Li Xuan specifically summoned them.
As for the hunchbacks, they come from all over the world, and it can be said that they are distributed all over the small world. They have finally found a place to settle down, and it seems a bit cruel to let them run back and forth on their short legs.
Besides, they don’t eat grilled fish, so there’s no need to call them back.
Chapter 27: Infiltrating Gringotts (1/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 27: Infiltrating Gringotts (1/3)
At night, after most of the shops in Diagon Alley had closed, Li Xuan sneaked in quietly. This time, Li Xuan also used the bird-snake’s ability to make the size as desired.
But this time, not only did it grow bigger, it also used its ability to shrink, making itself the size of a grain of rice. It then used a levitation spell to move itself, quietly staying on the flag of a shop in front of Gringotts Bank.
It was closing time for the Gringotts Bank in front of them. All the goblins closed the bank and left after counting today’s gold Galleons, except for the guard at the door.
At the same time, the protective magic of Gringotts Bank was also activated. It was similar to the principle of the magic protection shield that rose up in Hogwarts when Hogwarts dueled with Voldemort in the original timeline. All magic was protected.
Gringotts had just closed, so the “robber” naturally wouldn’t come directly to the door so soon, and Li Xuan didn’t put all his attention on Gringotts.
At this point in time, standing on a high place, looking at Diagon Alley has a different feeling.
As the night deepened, the originally noisy Diagon Alley became much quieter, and most of the shops were closed, such as Ollivander’s Wand Shop, Madam Malkin’s Robe Shop, and the Fantastic Beasts & Creatures Store, which Li Xuan had visited before.
However, there are still many stores that are open, such as Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, but they are taking advantage of the time when there are not many customers to purchase goods.
There’s also Florin Fosco’s ice cream shop over there, and the Horror Tours Wizard Travel Agency, which is not responsible for any injuries or deaths that may occur during the tour.
The travel and vacation programs provided by this travel agency are not simple, they are all very thrilling, such as renting vampire castles, hiking along the zombie trail, visiting the Bermuda Triangle, etc.
Just look at the other party’s projects and you will know. The reason they are still open so late is simply to see if there is any wizard who is not afraid of death to contribute to their KPI.
There is also Madam Primpenier’s Beauty Pharmacy over there. It’s after get off work time, and their business is booming. The witches are now off work and have time to come here for maintenance.
The same is true for Florin Fusco’s ice cream shop.
Li Xuan just watched quietly. Looking at Diagon Alley from this perspective was a different experience. Li Xuan did not feel bored at all.
Time passed bit by bit, and slowly, the entire Diagon Alley became quiet and all the shops had ceased business.
Maybe it was the cry of an owl that made this place feel a bit eerie. If an ordinary person came here, he would definitely be scared to death.
But since he has power in his hands, Li Xuan is naturally not afraid. After all, he is confident that he can face any crisis with his own strength. If it really doesn’t work, he can just hide in the small world!
“boom!”
It was late at night and everyone was asleep when a huge explosion from Gringotts resounded through the night sky of Diagon Alley.
“Here comes the opportunity!”
When he heard the explosion, Li Xuan did not panic. Instead, his eyes lit up and he was extremely excited!
The whole person did not return to its original size, but flew directly towards Gringotts Bank. Don’t forget that in addition to the ability to grow to any size, the bird snake can also fly.
When Li Xuan borrowed the abilities of magical animals, he naturally did not need to transform into corresponding organs. If Li Xuan could not fly like a bird or snake without wings, then the Spirit Pearl of All Beasts would be too weak.
As long as the ability is possessed by a magical animal, Li Xuan can borrow it, without any other restrictions or requirements.
At this time, the magic protective shield outside Gringotts had been destroyed. In fact, Li Xuan felt that it was more likely to have been closed actively. After all, could the protective shield be destroyed by just an explosion?
Do you think you’re some dark lord without a nose?!
Li Xuan doesn’t think that Hagrid has the same power as Voldemort. If that were the case, he wouldn’t be just an ordinary Forbidden Forest Warden.
The wide open doors of Gringotts and the vault made Li Xuan more convinced that this theft was a simple one.
His guess was correct. Li Xuan ignored the clumsy big guy and flew directly to the bottom of the vault.
Because this was a self-directed theft case, it meant that the other party had taken advantage of Gringotts, which meant that Hagrid didn’t spend much time on it, and Li Xuan didn’t have much time to act.
This time Li Xuan came in with two goals, so time was still very tight.
Li Xuan sprinted forward along the track. Although the underground tunnel was very dark, it could not stop Li Xuan’s steps.
“Huahuahuahua”
After flying at full speed for a while, Li Xuan heard the sound of flowing water coming from the front and knew that his destination was near, because the sound of flowing water meant that he would soon reach the anti-theft waterfall set up by Gringotts specifically for the underground vault!
The thief-proof waterfall can wash away all spells, so as to prevent some dark wizards from pretending to be other wizards and entering the underground vault.
Like in the original timeline, Harry Potter and his companions used this method to obtain one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, the Hufflepuff Cup.
But after being baptized by the Anti-Thief Waterfall, all were exposed, and the goblin Griphook tricked Harry Potter and his friends once, greedily taking away the sword of Gryffindor.
But in the end he paid the price for his greed, and it was the price of his life, as he died directly at the hands of Voldemort.
In the end, his greedy sword of Gryffindor also disappeared, and was eventually taken by Neville to achieve the title of Sword Master!
Chapter 28 Fire Dragon (2/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 28 Dragon (2/3)
Li Xuan rushed directly through the Anti-Thief Waterfall. The water flow had no effect on him at all. Because he was not using magic at all, the Anti-Thief Waterfall had no effect on him.
After rushing through the anti-thief waterfall, there is a suspended track going forward. This place is specially designed so that if there is any problem with the wizard coming in, he will directly fall freely from the track.
If you fall from such a height without any preparation, you will turn into a pool of meat paste.
Even if they use the levitation spell to avoid this disaster, it doesn’t matter. The goblins still have a backup plan, that is the executioner guarding here, an Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon, a fire dragon that symbolizes power!
And Li Xuan’s target this time is exactly this, a free fire dragon. As a person who wants to become a master of magical animals, how can he resist such temptation?
And in the magical world, it is not very likely to buy a fire dragon, whether it is a baby dragon or a dragon egg, let alone an adult dragon like this.
Don’t say that Hagrid got a Norwegian Spinosaurus egg casually. It was obtained by a dark lord. Don’t doubt the means and channels of a dark lord. Even if he is a fallen lord, his background is still stronger than that of many wizarding families!
“roar!”
After landing, Li Xuan regained his body shape. Feeling someone stepping into his territory, the Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon roared loudly, but Li Xuan could hear the pain hidden in the other party from its roar.
However, when Li Xuan appeared in front of it, the poor fire dragon stopped its weak roar, because it felt a sense of intimacy and closeness from Li Xuan.
“Woo~”
The fire dragon, which had been suffering from torture, could not help but roar in grievance at Li Xuan. In this dark underground, there were no other creatures. Even if goblins and wizards came in, they would beat and scold it.
If it dares to disrespect wizards and goblins, it will be tortured in various ways, and sometimes even go without food for several days.
Normally, those stingy and greedy goblins would not give it too much food. First, it would take a lot of food to satisfy its appetite, and it would cost a lot of money over time.
Secondly, if they eat too much and are full of energy, they will easily cause trouble and be difficult to manage, so we basically feed them half full or one-third full.
Looking at this scene, Li Xuan also felt a little sad.
This huge fire dragon was tied to the ground with huge iron chains around its neck and legs. The purpose was to prevent people from approaching the four or five deepest vaults, and also to eliminate the wizards who broke into the underground vaults.
This fire dragon has been imprisoned underground, never seeing the sun for years. Because he has been imprisoned underground for too long, his skin and scales have become gray and loose.
Due to long-term malnutrition, the whole dragon became skinny and its eyes turned into a lifeless and cloudy pink.
Its huge spiky wings were folded on both sides of its body, and there was nothing on them except bones and a thin layer of flesh.
This miserable and decayed fire dragon completely lost the majesty of a giant dragon and became a slave of the goblins, guarding their underground treasures. However, he did not receive the treatment he deserved and was even treated worse than a dog in the Muggle world.
There is also a box of metal sheets on the side, which are specially used by the goblins to scare away the fire dragon. After cruel training, it has developed a conditioned reflex to the clinking sound of metal sheets.
Under the goblins’ violent domestication, the mighty fire dragon has become so timid and cowering, afraid of a tiny jingle. It’s really like a dragon in shallow water and a tiger in plain sight!
Listening to the fire dragon’s hoarse roar and the terrible scars on its face and body, you can tell how miserable its life is here.
He reached out and stroked the fire dragon’s head. The extremely rough feel also showed that the dragon was not getting enough nutrition.
Who could have imagined that such a huge creature would be like a wronged child in front of Li Xuan, seeking comfort in his arms.
“Okay, it’s okay, I’ll get you out of here.”
Why did Li Xuan say that the Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon in front of him was malnourished? That’s because a healthy Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon has shiny gray scales and a long wingspan.
At the same time, its eyes are deep red, its claws are particularly long, and its body is round.
But the Ulank Fire Dragon in front of him was not as satisfied as any other one. If it weren’t for the fact that the Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon was the largest fire dragon in the world, otherwise, a Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon that was so thin would not look like a fire dragon at all.
Hearing Li Xuan’s words, the fire dragon shouted happily. Li Xuan used magic on the heavy shackles on the fire dragon’s hind legs and the thick iron chain wrapped around its neck several times.
“Swords and sabers!”
At present, the only thing in Li Xuan’s hand that can cut these chains in one go is the gold-attribute magic that comes with the Innate Five Elements Spirit Tower.
Chapter 29 Horcruxes (3/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 29 Horcruxes (3/3)
Seeing that the chains and shackles that bound him were cut off by Li Xuan, Ulank Tiedu, even though he was very weak now, still roared to the sky.
But this time, what Li Xuan heard from the other party’s roar was full of joy, and Li Xuan was not afraid that the fire dragon’s roar would attract goblins and guards.
In order to cooperate with Hagrid’s actions tonight, no matter how loud the noise is here, the other party will not come to investigate.
Besides, the roar of a fire dragon is not a strange thing, so there is nothing to explore.
“I will take you into a new world in a moment. Don’t panic or cause any destruction. If you are hungry, you can capture ordinary animals, but don’t harm the magical animals.
As for those you cannot harm, you will be able to sense them once you enter the small world.”
Li Xuan gave a brief explanation about the Ulank Iron-Belly Dragon. After all, he still had things to do later. It would be inconvenient to move with such a huge fire dragon, and it would also be too big of a target.
Besides, the Fire Dragon is extremely weak now and still needs some time to recuperate.
The trained fire dragon barked to show that it understood. Maybe this Ulank Iron Belly was not very good, but it was very obedient.
The induction that Li Xuan mentioned before is naturally the magical induction that these magical animals can produce between each other after recognizing Li Xuan as their master. This is why Li Xuan is not afraid of being accidentally injured by the fire dragon.
At the same time, he is not afraid that the other party will cause massive destruction in the small world. Since he has given the order and the other party has recognized him as the master, he will naturally not disobey his orders.
After putting Ulank Iron Belly into the small world, Li Xuan couldn’t help but laugh happily. The first goal of tonight was successfully achieved.
Finally, I am also a man who owns a fire dragon!
It took him a year to get his first fire dragon in his life. To be honest, this speed is not fast, but in the current world where fire dragons are monopolized, the speed of Li Xuan, who has not yet developed, is not slow.
But if the first one is there, the second and third ones will follow slowly.
And after this fire dragon has recovered in the small world, it will become another trump card of Li Xuan besides the Innate Five Elements Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl.
This should be the trump card that Li Xuan can play openly at the moment. At that time, whether he directly summons the fire dragon or Li Xuan borrows the power of the fire dragon, Li Xuan’s strength can be greatly increased, and it is an all-round enhancement.
You can never have too many trump cards. Now that the fire dragon is in your pocket, it’s time to complete the second goal.
Li Xuan walked towards the four or five vaults in the deepest part. This time the goblins launched this attack, and Li Xuan would be sorry to them if he didn’t give them some pain.
As for not having authority, it is not a problem for Li Xuan.
Don’t forget, Li Xuan also has a magical skill, space teleportation, but because it consumes the innate five elements spiritual fluid, Li Xuan almost never uses it.
But it is not a loss to use it now, the cost performance is still not low, so Li Xuan still plans to use space teleportation, so that no permissions are required.
The anti-space magic circle here could not restrict Li Xuan’s actions, because to some extent, the spells of these spiritual treasures were of a higher level than the spells in the Hogwarts world.
It can restrict wizards from using Apparition, but it cannot restrict Li Xuan’s spatial movement.
It’s like you’re using a circle of toothpicks to make a mini fence to try to stop humans. It’s completely useless. It can stop ants, but it can’t stop humans. It’s like a dimensionality reduction attack.
Li Xuan’s second target was naturally the Hufflepuff’s gold cup in Bella’s vault, which was one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.
Don’t say that Li Xuan is afraid of a socket man. When he comes out to stir up trouble, just suppress him directly.
Li Xuan is always a person who thinks three steps ahead before taking one step, and he is also a person who will never complain about having too many cards in his hand.
There is a huge difference between not having a sword and having a sword but not using it, not to mention that destroying the Horcrux is weakening the enemy. Why fight against a fully-powered enemy when you can weaken the enemy?
Looking at the original timeline, Harry Potter was able to defeat Voldemort because he destroyed all of Voldemort’s Horcruxes step by step. Otherwise, even with the aura of the protagonist, he would not have been able to defeat Voldemort.
In fact, Harry Potter was able to defeat Voldemort, and even have an evenly matched welding competition in the end, because he eliminated Voldemort’s Horcruxes step by step.
Look at how embarrassed Harry Potter was when facing Voldemort. He was beaten and fled. Even when there were only three Horcruxes left: Nagel, Harry Potter, and the Ravenclaw’s Diadem, they were able to destroy Hogwarts’ magic shield with one blow.
Just think about it, you know, at this time Voldemort had already destroyed the four Horcruxes: Tom’s notebook, Hufflepuff’s gold cup, Slytherin’s locket, and Gaunt’s ring.
It can be said that Voldemort at this time may have only half of his power. This shows that Voldemort ruled an era not because of his personal charm, but because of his extremely powerful strength!
However, he later created seven Horcruxes and dispersed his power, which can only be said to be a bad move.
And it was with the help of the last Horcrux, Najile, that Harry Potter was finally killed by Neville, and with the “betrayal” of the Elder Wand, that Harry Potter was able to truly fulfill the responsibility given to him by the title of savior and truly save the wizarding world.

Chapter 30: Call it a Day (1/3) (Old Version)
I’m a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 30: Calling it a Day (1/3)
Li Xuan also didn’t think that when Voldemort started a war, he would let him go just because he was a time traveler, so Li Xuan started making preparations now.
If Voldemort dares to cause trouble for me at that time, I will definitely give him a super big surprise!
Voldemort’s seven Horcruxes are Tom Riddle’s diary, Ravenclaw’s diadem, Gaunt’s ring, Hufflepuff’s cup and Slytherin’s locket, and finally Harry Potter and Nagel.
Among the seven Horcruxes, Li Xuan was confident that he could get three of them. They were the Hufflepuff gold cup that he would get from Bella’s vault soon, the Ravenclaw diadem that he would get from the Room of Requirement after school started, and the Slytherin locket.
Slytherin’s locket is now on Umbridge’s neck. Li Xuan feels that as long as there are enough gold Galleons, it is not impossible to transfer it.
As for the remaining four Horcruxes, you can fight for the Ring of Gaunt, and Tom Riddle’s notebook will pop up by itself in the second year. It should be said that it was given to him by Lucius Malfoy, Voldemort’s good subordinate.
There is no need to say much about the final Harry Potter, but I don’t want to think about Najiel Li Xuan. As long as Voldemort appears, Najiel will naturally appear, and Li Xuan doesn’t need to worry about it.
What Li Xuan is more interested in is that when Voldemort is resurrected and wants to find his seven Horcruxes, he finds that three are in Li Xuan’s hands, one is standing next to Li Xuan, and one has been destroyed. What expression will he have? Will it be like Lao Ba eating a secret hamburger?
No, Lao Ba was happy and joyful when he ate the secret hamburger. It should be the expression of Voldemort eating Lao Ba’s secret hamburger, which should be more interesting than the old man’s cell phone on the subway.
You know, Voldemort is also an interesting person. Just look at his devilish laughter during the final battle of Hogwarts and you will know that he is also a wonderful person.
Li Xuan arrived in front of these vaults and was teleported in. Because he didn’t know which one was Bella’s vault, Li Xuan decided to rob all of them.
No need to thank him, he is the three good successors of the new era!
Most people cannot handle so many gold galleons. The water is too deep and it is easy to drown. It is better to leave it to yourself. I am a good swimmer and I am not afraid!
A minute later, Li Xuan looted several vaults and put all the treasures inside into the warehouse of the small world.
It has to be said that these treasure troves are hidden in the deepest places and guarded by Ulanqab Tiedu himself, which is indeed worthy of this treatment.
The entire treasury was really filled with all kinds of treasures and gold Galleons. In any case, Li Xuan would never be short of gold Galleons in the future!
Having accomplished his goal, Li Xuan used the bird-snake’s ability to change his shape and returned along the original route.
Li Xuan stayed at the Anti-Thief Waterfall for a while, then left quickly.
Fortunately, Li Xuan acted quickly enough. He did not count and search the vaults one by one, but took away everything at once.
Because not long after he left Gringotts, Hagrid followed him right after him.
Even though Hagrid was wearing a hooded wizard robe like Li Xuan, his size really made it seem like he was trying to cover up his crime.
Seeing Hagrid leave, Li Xuan naturally left as well, because it was the time for the actors to appear next, and Li Xuan had no intention of continuing to contact the Aurors and those goblins.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief only after he quietly slipped back into the room of the Leaky Cauldron. Although this operation went very smoothly and had been strictly planned in the early stages, he was still nervous.
As for why we didn’t take the opportunity to search a few more vaults, one reason was that we didn’t have enough time, and two, when the number of gold galleons reached a certain level, they were actually not that useful anymore.
Just like the wealthy people in the previous life, no matter how much money you have, it is just a string of numbers.
Adding the few vaults that Li Xuan had just seized, it was already enough. If all the vaults in Gringotts were searched, the subsequent impact and commotion would be too great.
By then, the entire English magical community will be investigating this matter thoroughly. Even if Li Xuan swept up all the gold Galleons, he would not be able to use them on a large scale.
Isn’t this just a case of trying to cover up one’s own guilt? Haven’t you turned into a suicide truck?
All the gold Galleons of wizards in England were stolen, and most of the wizards’ gold Galleons were kept in Gringotts. Who could be the one to take out such a huge number of gold Galleons if not a thief?
So Li Xuan took this into consideration when doing things, which is why he did not search more vaults. Otherwise, with the magical skill of space teleportation, he would still be able to search half of the vaults even if time was tight.
Now, Li Xuan can proudly say like Boss Ma: “I am not interested in money!”
In my previous life, I didn’t even achieve financial freedom. Let alone financial freedom, I could just say I had enough food and clothing.
I didn’t expect that traveling through time could allow me to show off my wealth. No wonder everyone wants to travel through time and everyone loves to travel through time. Who wouldn’t want to do that?
Chapter 31: Counting the Harvest (2/3) (Old Version)
My Magical Creatures Master at Hogwarts: Chapter 31: Counting the Harvest (2/3)
Li Xuan flashed into the small world and began to count his harvest.
As soon as I came in, I saw the Ulank Iron-bellied Fire Dragon hunting in the lake. I ignored it and told it not to make the hunting bloody, dirty and messy, and then I ignored it.
You don’t need to take care of it too much now, just give it some time. In this small world, there is plenty of food and the omnipresent spiritual energy to nourish its body at all times. Judging from its current condition, it will take about a month for this fire dragon to return to its peak!
The first harvest was naturally the fire dragon, and the second was the harvest in several vaults.
As for the treasures in the vault, in order to prevent them from being stolen, a splitting spell was cast on them. The gold galleons and treasures that Li Xuan took out might be useless, or he might have to remove the spell one by one.
Sorry, there’s no need to be so troublesome. Li Xuan had already thought about this problem before. Otherwise, why do you think Li Xuan stayed at the Anti-Thief Waterfall for a while when he was leaving when time was so tight?
What is the function of the thief-proof waterfall?
That means washing away all the spells. Is the Splitting Spell a spell?
Of course that counts!
So all they had to do was run the gold galleons and treasures taken out of the vault through the water from the anti-thief waterfall. Of course, Li Xuan was not sure whether it would work since they were taken out from the waterfall after all.
Li Xuan took out some gold galleons and put them into the water of the anti-thief waterfall. As Li Xuan expected, it worked!
Li Xuan passed all the gold galleons and treasures through the water of the anti-thief waterfall, eliminating all the splitting spells on them.
However, Li Xuan also discovered in the process that the power of the anti-thief waterfall water was constantly weakening, or rather, it was counteracting the splitting curse.
Fortunately, the number Li Xuan took was large enough, otherwise it would not be enough to clear the splitting curse from so many treasures.
In the end, there was only a little left. After Li Xuan put them away in case he needed them later, he began to count the supplies.
If those goblins knew that the anti-thief waterfall they used to deter thieves was used like this by Li Xuan, I wonder if they would be furious to death?
Li Xuan was truly using his own method to treat others. In any case, Li Xuan was impressed by his own intelligence and talent!
Fortunately, Li Xuan was like a god in the small world, so it didn’t take too much time to count these things because I didn’t have to do it myself.
The most numerous of them were naturally gold Galleons, which piled up like a small mountain. There were hundreds of thousands of them, but Li Xuan didn’t count them specifically.
As for Silver Sickle and Bronze Knut?
Sorry, none of them deserve to be in these treasure houses!
The largest number of gold galleons, but the largest volume of treasures are other treasures, various utensils made of gold, and various gems.
In order to store these things, Li Xuan had to open another warehouse.
In addition to the above, there are also some magic potions and books, as well as some materials, including plant materials and animal materials. However, Li Xuan has not yet studied magic potions and these materials, so he can basically not recognize them.
This can only be sorted and classified slowly after Li Xuan goes to Hogwarts and starts studying. After all, the Hogwarts library and the Potions Master Severus will help Li Xuan complete this task.
In fact, what Li Xuan didn’t know was that these were the foundation of those pure-blood families. Many of those materials were no longer available or were very rare.
Books usually contain rare knowledge that may not even be found in the Hogwarts library.
Not to mention those magic potions. Anyway, Li Xuan has made a fortune this time. In the magic world, it is not only gold Galleons that are valuable. These may be more valuable than gold Galleons!
However, for now, this huge fortune can only be discovered by Li Xuan later.
Li Xuan, who knew what was going on, flashed into the Leaky Cauldron again and found that the theft at Gringotts had not caused any commotion here, so he returned to his room and entered the small world to rest with peace of mind.
The next morning, Li Xuan refused Tom’s breakfast and came to Diagon Alley. Along the way, he could hear discussions about the theft of Gringotts.
It seems that after a night of fermentation, the theft case at Gringotts has finally been revealed.
Li Xuan followed the crowd to Gringotts. At this time, Gringotts had been isolated. Many Aurors were investigating there, and some goblins were also being questioned.
The goblin supervisor here was yelling angrily at the Aurors. Li Xuan even saw reporters interviewing the Minister of Magic Fudge. Of course, the other party gave a very official statement. If he wanted to find the murderer, Li Xuan could only wish him good luck.
There were quite a few people gathering around. It turned out that gossip is human nature. No matter what time and space, everyone has a gossipy heart, just like the essence of human beings is a repeater.
Li Xuan stood aside and watched for a while before leaving, because there was nothing good left to see, and he decided not to stay here any longer to avoid any more trouble.
After leaving Diagon Alley, Li Xuan used Apparition to return to his home. Next, he would have a good rest, pack his luggage, and arrange some things in the real world.
Because Hogwarts is about to start!
Chapter 32 School Starts (3/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 32 School Starts (3/3)
On September 1st, Li Xuan asked his personal driver to take him to King’s Cross Station. In order not to attract attention, Li Xuan loaded some luggage on a trolley.
Because no matter whether it is a freshman or an old student, no one will go to Hogwarts empty-handed when school starts. If Li Xuan doesn’t want to be the most unique and eye-catching kid in the whole audience, he’d better not do this.
“Okay, go back!”
After seeing his driver and bodyguard helping to take the luggage out of the trunk of the car and stacking it on the cart, Li Xuan said to them.
“Okay, Master!”
Naturally, they obeyed Li Xuan’s orders and dared not have any objections. Those who could stay by Li Xuan’s side were not fools, and those who were ignorant would not be chosen by Li Xuan.
As for the title of Young Master, that was naturally what Li Xuan asked them to call him. At least Young Master was more suitable for his age than Boss or BOSS.
When people coming and going in King’s Cross Station saw Li Xuan’s attitude, they couldn’t help but keep a little distance from him. Even though Li Xuan looked very handsome, he was not easy to get along with!
In such a democratic country, it is better for ordinary people to stay away from powerful strangers, otherwise you never know when you may be killed just because the other party doesn’t like you.
With Li Xuan’s current strength, pushing such a cart forward is naturally not a problem. He even pushed it with one hand, while holding a purple rectangular ticket in the other hand.
In the very center of the ticket is undoubtedly the Hogwarts logo, and on the ticket it says “Round Squat (beware of censorship) to Hogwarts, Platform Nine and Three Quarters.”
Li Xuan is not Harry Potter and thinks there is no such platform. He puts the ticket in his pocket because he can feel that there is magic on the ticket, which is a proof that they can pass through the wall.
This is why Hagrid told Harry to keep the ticket safe, it is very important.
Li Xuan pushed the cart and quickly arrived at platforms nine and ten. When he arrived, he just saw a student pushing a cart rushing into the wall between platforms nine and ten.
Li Xuan looked around and found that no one noticed how jaw-dropping this scene was, as if they had seen nothing.
However, a guard nearby noticed Li Xuan’s appearance and signaled to him with his eyes, meaning that he should not stay here and go in as soon as possible.
Li Xuan nodded to show that he understood. He knew that the guard was also a wizard. In fact, the Ministry of Magic would send people here every year when school starts.
The purpose is to limit the number of people who can pass through the wall at the same time to avoid attracting the attention of Muggles.
However, Li Xuan not only sensed this guard wizard, he also sensed that there were several wizards hiding in the crowd.
But it’s normal to think about it. The opening of Hogwarts is naturally a very important event for the English wizarding community. The Ministry of Magic will naturally send people to guard and protect to avoid any accidents.
Just think about it, in the real world, every time a school starts, there are always detectives guarding by your side. It is also said that the magical world is not particularly safe.
If there is no one to watch and protect them, it will be okay for pure-blood or half-blood little wizards, as they have their own parents to protect them, but Muggle-born little wizards are very likely to be targeted.
Fudge didn’t want his position as Minister of Magic to be taken away because of this incident.
Li Xuan pushed the cart and ran towards the wall. What he didn’t know was that when he was about to hit the wall, the ticket in his pocket suddenly flashed a light. If he saw it, he would know that his previous guess was correct.
Li Xuan felt that he had entered a somewhat dark passage, but the passage was not very long, only about ten meters, and Li Xuan came out quickly.
After coming out, I saw the very familiar wizard-style decorations and lights, as well as the train with ‘Hogwarts Express 5972’ written on the front.
Looking at the train still emitting steam, Li Xuan curled his lips. What Hogwarts Express? It was more like Hogwarts Slow. With this speed, in his previous life, facing Donghuang, the infrastructure maniac, it might not even be able to make it to the top 100, let alone the 110,000th place.
Li Xuan carried his luggage and got on the Hogwarts Express. He arrived very early, so there were basically no people on the train, and therefore there were still many empty seats.
When Li Xuan is riding in a car, he usually likes to go to the corners, especially the last corner, which is Li Xuan’s favorite.
When Li Xuan arrived at the rear of the train, he found that one of the two carriages on the left and right was already occupied.
A girl who was a few years older than Li Xuan was looking down at the book in her hand. Her hanging silver hair blocked her face, so Li Xuan had no idea what she looked like.
Since the seat on the right that I like the most has been reserved in advance by this senior, I can only choose the left side. But it doesn’t matter, as long as it is the last row, everything is fine!
Chapter 33: The Girl in the Corner (1/3) (Old Version)
There was no need for any spell at all. Li Xuan’s strength was enough for him to stuff the luggage to the luggage storage area above by himself.
What he didn’t know was that when he entered the carriage on the left, the senior student who had been reading a book raised her head and looked at him.
What kind of face is that?
To use Li Xuan’s words, it was a face that touched his XP, with fair skin, a small nose, eyes like stars, and long silver hair, which gave her a bit of a royal sister vibe!
If she were a little older, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses with a chain, and changing into a white-collar work suit, plus that cool temperament, she would be a definitely a domineering female president!
The eagle carved on her wizard robes indicated that she was from the most knowledgeable Ravenclaw house.
When she saw Li Xuan, she was actually very confused. She preferred quietness by nature, and today was the first day of school for new students, so the carriage in front would definitely be very noisy.
In order to have some peace and quiet, she went out early to reserve a seat. Unexpectedly, not long after she sat down, she saw a freshman. Well, such a cute little brother must be a first-year student.
Although the other person was really good-looking, the most handsome and elegant man she had ever seen, his face full of collagen still betrayed his age, although he was much taller than most people of the same age.
Most freshmen would not come so quickly. Even if they come, they would chat a lot with their parents at the station, reluctant to leave, and would rush to get on the bus when it is about to depart. That was what she did at the beginning.
But this freshman not only came early, but also chose the quietest rear seat of the car. It seemed that he did not have the noisy and lively personality of his peers.
Looking at him again, he had a calm demeanor and an aristocratic temperament, coupled with black hair. She felt that the nobles of the ancient East should look like this, right?
As for why it is not considered to be from other countries, Japan has its own magic school and magic institute, and Japan’s country will definitely not have such a family.
It’s not like she hasn’t seen Japanese before. They are generally short in height and their temperament is definitely not the same as the boy in front of her. This kind of thing cannot be learned at all, it is innate!
When she saw the other party was about to lift the huge suitcase, she took out her wand and prepared to help him cast a levitation spell.
Unexpectedly, although the other party was young, his physical fitness was so strong, so she put away her wand.
After the other party had finished cleaning up, she withdrew her gaze and continued to read the book in front of her.
She has no idea how shocking her behavior would be if her close friends saw it, and when would she take the initiative to help others, especially the opposite sex.
Even though he is just a younger brother, this has never happened before, right?
Although as the class monitor she would usually answer and help her classmates when they had any questions, it was always the other party who took the initiative to ask and sent out the signal that they needed help, which was completely different from the situation today.
But the elegant lady who continued to read the book did not think her behavior was so surprising. She was just following her inner thoughts.
She should continue reading while it is still quiet. Otherwise, when the train starts, she, as the prefect, will not be so free, because she will have to patrol the corridor of the Hogwarts Express to prevent some young wizards from committing suicide.
After all, little wizards of this age, especially those in the first and second grades, are full of energy and curiosity. If they are not careful, they may cause big trouble.
For example, two years ago, there was a young wizard who was seeking death and was thrown out of the Hogwarts Express. Fortunately, he was rescued in the end, otherwise, things would have been very serious.
In fact, there is a special compartment for prefects on the train where they can rest and hold meetings, but she doesn’t like it there, especially a certain red-haired guy who is so annoying, like taffy, and nothing she says will make him happy.
For the sake of peace and quiet, it’s good to stay here.
So, many times, the so-called first impression in this world is based on appearance.
It’s a very classic Dragon King’s crooked smile. When an ugly person smiles, he is called a fool, vulgar, and ugly, but when a handsome person smiles, he is called evil and has a different taste!
Look, this world is so unfair. Just look at Leo at his peak appearance and playing with a water gun.
Fortunately, Li Xuan is not afraid. He is as handsome as Yan Zu, and has the added beauty and temperament of Zun Long, so his first impression is naturally perfect.
Li Xuan sat by the window, looking at the gradually increasing number of students outside and the slowly becoming noisy carriage. Fortunately, he arrived early, otherwise he really would not like such noise.
With a thought, the originally open door of the carriage closed. Such a small action did not require the assistance of a wand or spell.
Chapter 34: Fateful Encounter (2/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan knew that in the English wizarding world, in addition to Platform Nine and Three Quarters, there was another platform, also at King’s Cross Station.
Different from Platform 9 3/4 which leads to Hogwarts, Platform 7 1/2, located between Platform 7 and Platform 8, is a long-distance train to the wizarding villages in Europe.
However, if Li Xuan really planned to go to the European continent, he would definitely not take the train from Platform 7 1/2 at King’s Cross Station.
Think about it, it takes almost half a day to go to Hogwarts, so wouldn’t it take ten days or half a month to get to the European continent?
If you have the time, isn’t it nice to take a plane in the technological world? Why torture yourself like this?
Li Xuan, who was sitting by the window, had excellent eyesight and saw Harry Potter and the Weasley family with their iconic red hair. As time passed, they all got on the train one after another.
After reading for a while, Li Xuan, who had nothing to do, simply took out Newt Scamander’s book “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and started reading. To be honest, this book is not very thick, and the descriptions of magical beasts in it are only rough, but Li Xuan still read it with great interest.
In fact, this is not the first time that Li Xuan has read this book, but he will still take it out and read it when he is bored. It is not for the purpose of reviewing the old to learn new things. With Li Xuan’s ability, he can basically memorize it after reading it several times.
What Li Xuan didn’t know was that while he was immersed in the sea of ​​books, the Ravenclaw senior in the carriage next to him had already left.
However, when she left, she looked at Li Xuan deeply, but he didn’t notice it.
All we can say is that Li Xuan left a deep impression on a certain girl. Li Xuan didn’t know that he had attracted the attention of a beautiful senior schoolmate before he even entered Hogwarts. He should blame someone, only his enchanting looks!
It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it with a sentence that was posted on the Internet before: If being handsome is a crime, then I am already guilty of a heinous crime; if being cool is a mistake, then I have made the same mistake again and again; if being smart is also subject to punishment, then I will be chopped into pieces!
Li Xuan said that the above remarks had nothing to do with him, they were all made up by the author. He was not worthy of such adjectives, and only the grandfathers who were reading the book were worthy of them.
No wonder this guy the author only gets such a low salary every month. With his EQ, it’s good enough that his boss doesn’t fire him!
Immersed in books, no, to be precise, Li Xuan was looking at books but actually his thoughts were wandering and he didn’t notice the passage of time.
He was brought back to his senses by the sound of knocking on the door. Looking up, he saw a man and a woman standing at the door with luggage, looking at him.
But the scene in front of me seemed a little incongruous. The chubby boy shrank back, as if he was afraid of seeing strangers.
On the contrary, the girl standing in front was very open and confident, and she must have been the one who knocked on the door just now.
“Hello, can we come in? The other carriages are full!”
Hearing the little girl’s polite question, Li Xuan nodded. If it were someone else, he might not agree, but the two people in front of him were not strangers, but “acquaintances” in a sense, so Li Xuan did not refuse them.
I was already in the last car, and the other party must have been coming over from one car to another. Now that they had all come to my place, it meant that the cars ahead must be full.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn’t help but think of the senior schoolmate in the carriage on the right when he just got on the bus.
Li Xuan looked over and found that the owner of the carriage had changed. It was replaced by several Hufflepuff seniors wearing wizard robes. It turned out that the Ravenclaw senior had left at some point.
Maybe she was called over by her friend, but for some reason, a sense of loss suddenly flashed through Li Xuan’s heart, that was the loss of not seeing that figure.
However, this sense of loss came and went quickly. Looking at the two people in front of him who were struggling to carry luggage, he took the initiative to stand up and picked up the luggage with one hand to help them put it away.
Both of them were shocked by Li Xuan’s tremendous strength. Although Li Xuan looked much taller than them, they didn’t expect that he could hit them with that much strength.
Hermione knew how heavy her box was. Her father didn’t have an easy time moving it today, which meant that this person of her age was as strong as an adult man.
That’s right, the two ‘acquaintances’ who happened to be in the same carriage with Li Xuan were none other than Miss Know-it-all, the super academic Hermione Granger, and the future swordsman Neville Longbottom.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the woman is strong and the man is weak. Nevic has not grown up yet and is still a cowardly and stuttering child.
As for why Li Xuan didn’t take out his wand and cast a levitation spell, but instead just lifted it up directly.
The main reason is that there is no need for this. Is he taking out the wand to show off his levitation spell in front of Hermione and Neville?
Moreover, it only took enough time for the magic wand to be taken out and the spell to be chanted to put the luggage away.
Well, another point is that Li Xuan didn’t want to listen to Hermione’s long speech, even though she was a super cute little girl.
Chapter 35: The Sword Master and Miss Know-It-All (3/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan thought that he could escape the disaster in this way, but what he didn’t expect was that many times things do not happen because of our subjective ideas.
“Hello, I’m Hermione, Hermione Granger, you’re also a freshman at Hogwarts, right?!”
Although Hermione used questioning words, her tone was affirmative. It was not for any other reason, but because she and Li Xuan had met at Ollivander’s Wand Shop in Diagon Alley.
To be precise, when Li Xuan just obtained his own magic wand reincarnation, the scene he created was seen by Hermione who was passing by.
“Neville…Neville Longbottom.”
Neville, who walked in with them, saw that Hermione had taken the initiative to introduce herself. He remembered what his grandmother had said about getting along well with classmates, so he spoke up as well.
It’s just that his voice was extremely weak, and if Li Xuan hadn’t been close to him, he might not have been able to hear it.
Looking at Neville, who had a round face and kept his head down, Li Xuan did not blame him, because he knew that his appearance was related to his childhood experiences.
When he was one and a half years old, his parents were tortured to insanity by four Death Eaters using the Cruciatus Curse in front of him. In order to avoid leaving a psychological trauma on him, his family cast a Forgetfulness Curse on him.
As a result, he became very forgetful and somewhat slow in character. As for his inferiority complex and cowardice, they were caused by his family.
For a long time when Neville was a child, he was considered a Squib (a person who comes from a wizarding family and has at least one wizarding parent but has no magical powers and cannot learn magic).
In order to force Neville to show his magical potential, his great uncle Algie pushed him off the Black Lake Pier, but nothing else came of it except that Neville was almost drowned.
If it didn’t work the first time, he would try a second time. When Neville was eight years old, his great uncle started to act up again. He grabbed Neville’s ankles and hung him upside down outside the upstairs window.
However, when he turned around to get something, he accidentally loosened his grip on Neville’s ankle. Li Xuan didn’t know whether this was an accident or not. Anyway, he was skeptical because of the Black Lake incident.
Fortunately, this time Neville fell to the ground, bounced across the garden and fell on the road, awakening his magic power, otherwise there might have been a third and fourth time.
This time Neville’s great uncle was very happy and even bought a toad for Neville, which is the toad named Leifo that he has in his hand now. However, this toad Leifo was not a worry-free one and he actually ran away.
So Neville is also a poor kid, but he was sorted into Gryffindor. Although he doesn’t seem to fit the brave and fearless image of Gryffindor, he is strong inside and gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.
Think about the original timeline, when Voldemort brought the news that Harry Potter was “dead” and wanted everyone in Hogwarts to surrender to him, only Neville stood up, and in the end it was his Gryffindor sword that chopped off the head of the giant snake Nagel, pressing the final button for the battle between Voldemort and Harry.
Therefore, Neville, one of the unknown children of prophecy, also has his own unique style.
But the pensive Li Xuan seemed to have forgotten that there was a “big trouble” around him. Seeing Li Xuan fall into deep thought after hearing Neville’s introduction, Hermione couldn’t help but curl her lips in anger.
Fortunately, Li Xuan came back to his senses at this time, and said to Hermione and Neville with a smile: “I am Li Xuan from Donghuang. According to your custom, it should be Xuan Li, but I don’t think it sounds good. I still hope you can call me Li Xuan, but just know that Li is the surname and Xuan is the name.”
“Li Xuan…”
Hermione silently repeated this difficult-to-pronounce name several times. After all, there are still differences between Eastern and Western cultures.
“Li Xuan, where is your very cool black and gold magic wand?”
Hearing Hermione’s words, Li Xuan looked at her in surprise. How did she know that his wand’s reincarnation was black and gold?
Seeing Li Xuan’s puzzled eyes, Neville, who had been huddled in the corner and only occupied half of the stool, also quietly cast a concerned look over. A black and gold wand, is there such a wand?
“When you were buying your wand from Mr. Ollivander, I passed by and saw the shocking scene!”
Well, when Hermione said this, Li Xuan understood. So this is what was going on. He was still racking his brains to figure out how the other party knew that.
You should know that only Ollivander and Professor Flitwick knew that I had obtained the reincarnation of the wand. These two are not talkative people, so they naturally would not spread it everywhere. How did Hermione know? So this is how it is.
“It’s just a magic wand. What’s so good about it? By the way, what are the materials and cores of your magic wands? I have some knowledge of magic wands and can tell you some things you don’t know.”
In order to prevent Hermione from continuing to talk while grabbing her wand, Li Xuan used the legendary method of changing the subject!
Chapter 36: A Few Things About the Wand (1/3) (Old Version)
“My wand is made of vine wood, with a dragon heartstring as the core.”
Hermione didn’t really know much about wands, but as a studious child, she really wanted to learn new knowledge, so she ignored Li Xuan’s obvious attempt to change the subject for the time being. Anyway, she would have plenty of ways to make up for it later.
Seeing the other two looking at him, Neville swallowed and said, “Made of chestnut wood, unicorn hair.”
“Then let me first talk about Hermione’s wand.”
Since Hermione answered first, Li Xuan spoke in order. When Hermione heard Li Xuan’s words, she leaned forward involuntarily, and the anticipation in her eyes almost overflowed.
“Grapevine wood is also a relatively rare wood in the magic world. In fact, according to our common understanding, grapevine wood is not considered a tree because it is very slender compared to ordinary trees, and it is soft and difficult to shape.
However, the Druids believe that any plant with a woody stem is a tree, so vine wood is also counted as a tree. However, if you want to use vine wood to make a wooden wand, ordinary wand makers cannot do it. Only wand masters like Ollivander can do it. “
Li Xuan paused for a moment and continued, “Grapevine wood wands are relatively rare because of their difficulty in making, but this does not mean that grapevine wood wands are weak.
Vine wands often choose witches and wizards who have noble aspirations, who have the ability to see beyond the boundaries of their own minds, and who do things that shock those friends who think they know them best.”
Hearing Li Xuan’s words, Hermione smiled happily. Aren’t these all compliments to her?
Hermione didn’t think that Li Xuan was talking nonsense, lying to her, or trying to please her. You have to know that Hermione now is not as confident as she will be in the future.
Her fluffy hair and big front teeth that looked like rabbit teeth had caused her to be criticized by her peers at school. Coupled with her somewhat know-it-all personality, she was naturally not popular with others.
Of course, being a know-it-all is actually a reflection of Hermione’s willingness to help others. However, for children, the most difficult thing to accept is the pointing and directing of their peers.
After all, this is a very shameful thing in their eyes. For the sake of their self-esteem, they will naturally quarrel. So this is how the conflict between Hermione and Ron came about in the original timeline.
However, Li Xuan has the soul of an adult, so this would naturally not happen.
Looking at Hermione, it was indeed rare for this girl to be praised by her peers other than teachers and elders, so she was so happy to hear Li Xuan’s explanation. She was indeed a poor girl, and she looked very cute now. Li Xuan coughed and continued.
“It is generally easier to make a powerful wand using dragon heartstring as the wand core. After all, it is a material taken from the heart of a powerful dragon.
Using the Dragon Heartstring Wand, the spells you cast will be more gorgeous, and you will learn magic faster than other types!”
Li Xuan stopped talking about Dragon Heartstrings here. It would be better not to talk about the dark magic for Hermione at this moment.
“It turns out that my wand contains so many meanings,” Hermione said happily as she took out her own wand and touched it. The next second she said, “I have finished talking about my wand. Let’s talk about Neville’s wand!”
Neville didn’t mind that Hermione was more eager to know about her wand than himself, or perhaps it was his personality that made it difficult for him to have conflicts with others, and he looked submissive. However, he still wanted to know the evaluation of his wand very much.
Seeing their eager expressions, and since there was nothing else to do, I might as well continue talking.
“Chestnut wood is like a blank sheet of paper, with almost no inclination. This is the exact opposite of grapevine wood. Its properties are determined by the wand core. Different wand cores will give chestnut wands different properties.
Chestnut wands are often chosen by experienced trainers of magical creatures, wizards with a talent for Herbology, or skilled flyers.
Compared with other wand core materials, unicorn tail hair is more likely to faithfully reflect the essence of magic and is not easily interfered with by other magic. Wands made of unicorn tail hair are very loyal and have a very close relationship with wizards. “
Having said this, Li Xuan paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Neville seriously and said, “So, Neville, you should be more confident, don’t be so self-deprecating, believe in your choice of wand, and believe in yourself even more!”
“Ah?!…Hmm…”
Neville, who was originally listening to Li Xuan’s words carefully, did not expect that Li Xuan would suddenly say such words to him. Although it was a bit abrupt and caught him off guard, he was very happy in his heart.
Because apart from his grandmother, Li Xuan was the first person to affirm and encourage him.
As for why Li Xuan said something that seemed a bit nosy, it was because Li Xuan was very optimistic about the child Neville, and he also hoped that he could have more confidence and grow up earlier.
Chapter 37 Malfoy’s Troublemaking (2/3) (Old Version)
“That’s right, Li Xuan is right. As a boy, Neville, you should be braver and more confident. For example, sit up straight now and don’t be timid!”
Hermione on the side also agreed with Li Xuan’s statement and said to Neville.
When Neville heard Hermione say this, and saw Li Xuan’s encouraging look and the words she had just said, he sat up straight involuntarily.
Seeing Neville like this, Li Xuan and Hermione didn’t say anything more. Even Hermione knew that some things cannot be rushed.
Since the attention is no longer on Neville, someone has to take over. Hermione doesn’t want Li Xuan to escape.
“Li Xuan, you just mentioned my and Neville’s wands, but you haven’t mentioned yours yet. Can you take out your black gold wand and show it to us?”
Who can refuse a request from a cute girl with big eyes and a baby voice?
Li Xuan was definitely not the type of person who would refuse without a heart of stone. He thought that the other party had seen it, and that he would use a wand in Hogwarts in the future, so he didn’t hide it.
“Wow! So cool!”
Li Xuan’s wand was naturally placed in a sealed cabinet in the small world. He could just take it out when needed, without any delay, and there was no worry of losing it. Not only the wand was reincarnated, but another poplar wood wand was also placed in it.
In order to conceal it, Li Xuan pretended to take it out from his sleeve. Anyway, the clothes he wore were loose, and no one could tell whether there was a wand hidden in his sleeve.
So when Li Xuan took out his wand, Hermione and Neville were both amazed. Could a wand be so beautiful? No one would question whether it was a decoration.
Thinking of their wands again, Hermione and Neville couldn’t help but have a thought in their minds: There is really no harm without comparison!
Two-Person Wand: Politeness on you?
Of course, although they were envious and curious, they did not foolishly ask Li Xuan to let them see his wand. After all, if they put themselves in his shoes, they would not lend even their own ordinary wands to others casually, let alone Li Xuan’s wand.
Li Xuan was very satisfied with this. These two little guys could get along well and were not naughty kids.
Li Xuan told Hermione and Neville a general idea about his wand, and as expected, they were amazed again.
All I can say is that Li Xuan and this magic wand are both lucky to meet each other.
“By the way, Li Xuan, are you from a wizard family? Otherwise, how do you know so much knowledge?”
Hermione suddenly remembered and asked. From the time they met until now, Li Xuan had left a deep impression on Hermione not only with his good looks, but also with his profound knowledge and erudite appearance.
“No, I am a Muggle-born wizard just like you. As for why I know so much, it’s because I bought a lot of books and I like reading.”
Of course Li Xuan couldn’t possibly say that I know so much because I’m a time traveler and have watched movies in my previous life, right?
But he was not wrong. After all, the seven movies only roughly told some things in the novel, and many details were still left out.
Li Xuan learned all this after reading the books he bought from Lihen Bookstore. After all, knowledge is priceless and this applies to every world.
“Bang!”
Just when Li Xuan and the others were chatting happily, the door of the carriage was suddenly opened very roughly. The sound of the door slamming suddenly scared Hermione and the others.
Li Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little angry in his heart. If he didn’t explain the situation clearly, he would definitely teach the other party what politeness was!
Looking up, I saw a boy with platinum hair, his head held high and a proud face, as if he was the boss, standing at the door. Behind him stood two boys, one tall and one fat, who looked like bodyguards. Of course, this was compared with his peers.
“Your wand is very interesting. How about letting me play with it?!”
Listening to the other party’s arrogant words, Hermione was furious. Although Neville was a little scared, thinking of how Li Xuan treated him just now, he also stiffened his neck and looked at the other party. However, he didn’t look that scary, and the toad Leif, who was tightly held in his hand, was almost dead.
Li Xuan naturally recognized the other person. Such unique platinum hair. A member of the Malfoy family? Then the identity of this guy was obvious. Draco Malfoy. The two behind him were undoubtedly his little followers Crabbe and Goyle.
Li Xuan smiled, but before he could say anything, Malfoy, who was looking down on people, continued to speak: “Mudblood, do you think you can have a wand like this? Give it to me!”
As for how he recognized Li Xuan as a Muggle-born wizard, it was because he had basically seen young wizards of the same age from pure-blood families, and he would definitely not forget someone who looked like Li Xuan.
And just now when he was at the door, he heard Li Xuan’s name, which was obviously Dongfang’s name, so he was so arrogant.
Chapter 38 Dragon’s Might (3/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan didn’t expect that the first person to be troubled by Draco was not his ‘true love’ Harry Potter, but himself. So, was he in trouble for no reason and did he ward off disaster by mentioning Harry?
However, this does not mean that Li Xuan intends to let it go, especially after Draco said the word Mudblood. Although it is just like children swearing in a quarrel, it does not mean that Li Xuan will tolerate him!
“roll!”
Therefore, Li Xuan said to Draco coldly, “Get lost.” But how could Draco, a child spoiled by his family, be driven away by such a simple sentence from Li Xuan?
He even got angrier because Li Xuan didn’t do what he said. As for such spoiled children, Li Xuan naturally had a way to subdue them, which was to scare and beat them.
“I’m telling you, I’m the only heir to the Malfoy family, one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight Pure-Blood Families!”
Malfoy had not yet realized the coming crisis and was still standing there proudly showing off his superiority to Li Xuan.
“Didn’t you hear me say get out?!!!”
This time, Li Xuan stood up and spoke to the Malfoy trio. Although his voice was not loud, the power displayed by Li Xuan this time instantly frightened Malfoy so much that his mind went blank and he swallowed back all the words he was about to say!
Not only him, but also the tall and strong men Gao Er and Klaer standing behind him were frightened and their faces turned pale.
With this book and sword, they felt that the person standing in front of them was not Li Xuan, but a mighty fire dragon roaring at them fiercely!
“ah!!!”
Looking at Marco and the others who were frightened and ran away, Li Xuan sat back in his seat and smiled.
Their feeling just now was not wrong, they were indeed facing a giant dragon. Just now, Li Xuan used the dragon power of Ulank Iron-Belly Fire Dragon in his own small world to scare them.
For ordinary people, it would be a problem whether they can stand steadily in front of a fire dragon, let alone attack it. That kind of oppressive feeling comes from this high-end creature!
Li Xuan had already held back, using only one tenth of his power. Otherwise, if the only son of the Malfoy family was frightened and left with a psychological trauma, there would be a lot of trouble.
Li Xuan is certainly not afraid, but he also finds it troublesome. Now he does not have the strength to fight against the entire British magic world, so he has to hide for a while.
Not only Malfoy and the others were scared and ran away, but Hermione and Neville, who were sitting nearby and didn’t feel the dragon’s power directly, were also scared to death. For example, the toad Radford just stuck out his tongue and pretended to be dead.
“Whoosh whoosh”
It took the two kids some time to recover, but this time there was a hint of admiration and fear in their eyes when they looked at Li Xuan.
But Hermione is Hermione. There must be a reason why she was sorted into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw, which seemed more suitable for her.
“Li Xuan, you looked so scary when you were angry just now! Not only did that arrogant guy feel it, I also felt like you were a giant dragon!”
Looking at Hermione jumping and dancing beside him, Li Xuan smiled. He was glad that she was not scared and was still so lively. Neville beside him also had an admiring look on his face.
“Hahaha, it’s nothing. Actually, your feeling is right. I am particularly interested in the magical animals in the magical world, so I will study some things about their habits.
Just now, I was imitating the might of the Ulank Iron-Belly Fire Dragon, so I had this kind of power.”
“How magical! I didn’t expect wizards to be like dragons. Li Xuan, can you tell us something about magical animals?”
In view of the two little guys’ bravery, Li Xuan did not refuse them. Instead, he closed the carriage door that had just been violently opened and started chatting with them.
What Li Xuan didn’t know was that in the corridor of the carriage, which was out of his blind spot, the silver-haired senior schoolmate he met as soon as he got on the train was watching him with a magic wand in her hand.
She had been watching since Draco brought Crabbe and Goyle to forcefully open the door, and since it was her turn on duty, she saw it all.
It must be said that Li Xuan’s dragon-like might just now really scared her, but compared to Draco and the others who were so scared that they were pissing their shit and running around in a panic, her performance was undoubtedly much better. She subconsciously wanted to fight back with her wand in hand.
Fortunately, Li Xuan not only controlled the degree of dragon power, but also controlled the range. If she was farther away, she might not be able to feel it.
At that moment, she really thought she was facing a fire dragon, but fortunately, her reason told her that this was not the case.
“Imitating the might of Ulank’s iron-bellied fire dragon? A fan of magical animals? This little brother is really getting more and more interesting. He is mysterious, as if covered by a veil. My little brother Li Xuan!”
Don’t ask her how she could stand so far away and still hear Li Xuan’s words. It was just a small spell, not worth mentioning.
She turned around and continued her patrol. She would spend a lot of time with Li Xuan in the future, so there was no need to rush. She would have the time to remove the mysterious veil of Li Xuan!
Chapter 39: The Arrogant Li Xuan (1/3) (Old Version)
“Would the kids like to buy anything?”
At this time, the salesperson on the train suddenly knocked on the door, opened it and asked Li Xuan and his friends if they needed to buy some candy during their long journey.
“Count the total amount on the cart. I want them all!”
Li Xuan said very generously, and the saleswoman was also very happy. The more they sold, the more commission she would get. So have all the little wizards become rich recently?
“Four gold Galleons and eleven silver Sickles in total!”
Seeing that the other party gave the answer without even doing any calculations, Li Xuan looked at him in confusion. Given the wizards’ poor math skills, they shouldn’t be able to calculate so quickly, right?
“Oh, there’s a kid in front of me who also asked for a cart of candy, exactly the same, so I don’t need to count it again.”
Seeing the confusion of Li Xuan and the others, the aunt began to explain.
After hearing this, Li Xuan understood that he was in the last carriage. The person who could be so generous as to buy the entire cart of snacks must be Harry. After all, the Harry in the magical world is completely different from the Harry in the ordinary world.
Having inherited the Potter family’s treasury, he is not short of money. Don’t forget that the Potter family is the shampoo family of the wizarding world, and the business is basically monopolized by the Potter family.
In the past, when people watched the movie, they all thought that Snape’s greasy hair was largely due to his unwillingness to use the shampoo of his rival’s family.
Of course, Li Xuan believes that another guess is more in line with the specific situation, that is, people dress up to please themselves. After Lily Evans passed away, there was no one in the world who was worthy of dressing up for him. You know, Snape was also a handsome boy when he was young.
“Li Xuan, we can’t finish all the snacks you bought, and eating so many sweets will easily cause tooth decay!”
Seeing Li Xuan buying all the snacks on the food cart and starting to invite them to start eating, Hermione began to say that after all, he came from a dentist’s family and should pay great attention to the health of his teeth.
“It’s okay. You can eat some from time to time, but you don’t have to eat them all at once. If you can’t finish them, you can bring them to Hogwarts. Does anyone know if there is a store in the school that sells such snacks? It’s better to be prepared. You two can pick some and I’ll put the rest away.”
Li Xuan naturally knew whether there were any small shops in Hogwarts, so buying a small cart this time was not too much. Although Hogwarts provided students with a way to go to Hogsmeade village, it had nothing to do with the first-year students.
Of course, Li Xuan could also secretly go to Hogsmeade Village to buy it through the secret passage, but he had to cover himself before that.
Many times, many things are clearly separated by a layer of window paper, which can be broken with a poke, but having this layer of paper is completely different from not having it, just like having a layer of membrane and not having it are two completely different concepts, don’t you agree? !
“Okay, then we’ll pick some. But you’re so rich, Li Xuan. I don’t even dare to use the gold Galleons I exchanged at Gringotts Bank. Professor McGonagall told me to prepare for buying books in the future. By the way, do you know Professor McGonagall…”
Well, the little girl’s chatterbox skill was activated again, but her hands did not stop moving. After all, no matter how mature she is, she is still just a child. Any child cannot resist the temptation of snacks, not to mention Hermione who is usually under very strict control at home.
After spending some time together, Neville was no longer so reserved in front of Li Xuan. Knowing that Li Xuan and Hermione really regarded him as a friend, he bravely took the first step and reached out to take a candy.
Although Neville had no friends before, he had seen other children share delicious food with each other when they were together.
But Neville didn’t want Li Xuan and Hermione to think he was greedy, so he only took one.
Only now did he realize that he should have bought all the candies before Li Xuan opened his mouth. It was not to steal Li Xuan’s limelight, but because he felt that he should treat them himself. After all, the two of them were so good to him, and there was not much he could do to help them, so he might as well just treat them to food and drinks.
Although Neville looks like this, he is actually a wealthy man. His grandmother gave him a lot of gold galleons, so he can buy a whole cart of snacks like the one just now with full payment.
At such a young age, you can buy so many things without any installment payments and can pay in full. It is really enviable!
However, Li Xuan was not envious. He was now richer than Neville, or even the entire Longbottom family!
“Take a few more, don’t be so polite!”
Seeing that Neville only took a pot-shaped cake that was very popular among wizards, Li Xuan thought he was embarrassed, so he grabbed a few delicious-looking snacks from the food cart and stuffed them into his arms.
That’s right, Li Xuan even bought the food cart as well, but it only cost him one more silver Sickle.
As for the rest, Li Xuan took a look at what Hermione and Neville had chosen, and selected some that they had not chosen and placed them on the table. Then he waved his hand, and the dazzling array of snacks in front of him, along with the food cart, all disappeared.
Chapter 40: Bibi’s Anti-Humanity Every-Flavored Beans (2/3) (Old Version)
“Wow!!!”
Seeing Li Xuan make the snacks and the cart disappear in an instant, Hermione looked at him in surprise, but Neville on the side did not react like her, because he had seen such scenes many times at home, so he roughly figured out that Li Xuan must have used an item cast with the Traceless Extension Charm.
“Li Xuan, how did you do this?”
“Hermione, there is a kind of magic in the wizarding world called the Traceless Extension Charm, which can be cast on objects…”
Li Xuan knew that he had aroused the other party’s curiosity again. It would be a good idea to teach the cute little witch a lesson when he had nothing to do, so he began to tell her the knowledge of the Traceless Stretching Spell.
At the same time, he took out the necklace hanging around his neck and showed it slightly. The pendant hanging on the bottom of the necklace was indeed cast with the traceless extension spell by Li Xuan. Although the volume was not large, it was completely sufficient for Li Xuan to use it as a cover for the small world.
Not only the necklace, but also his suitcase and handbag. It didn’t cost much money. During this year, Li Xuan continued to practice the magic spells he mastered with the spiritual liquid converted by the Five Elements Spirit Array of the small world.
Not to mention anything else, if the black wizard from a year ago came to trouble Li Xuan again, Li Xuan would definitely not need to use the Innate Five Elements Spirit Tower, and he would not be so embarrassed.
At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from the other end of the carriage, attracting everyone’s attention. Many young wizards even ran over to watch. Hermione was no exception. Don’t underestimate the curiosity of a Gryffindor!
As for Li Xuan, he stayed in the carriage with Neville. One reason was that he was not interested, and the other was that he felt there were too many people and had a bit of social anxiety, so he didn’t go.
Because Li Xuan was there, even though his passive talent was not activated, the toad Leif still preferred to stay in the carriage, so there was no incident where the toad was lost and Hermione took Neville to look for it.
Li Xuan didn’t go to eat the melon. Since Hermione had gone anyway, he could just come back and ask her later. He focused his attention on the snacks he had just bought.
The first is the Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans, which are said to be an adventure in every bite. Li Xuan stays away from such snacks and he will never eat them.
Don’t ask why. If you ask, it’s because Li Xuan feels that he is definitely not a lucky guy.
Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans has developed into dozens of flavors and four major categories, three of which are relatively normal.
The first is fruits and vegetables, such as eggplant, olives, overcooked cabbage, pumpkin, bean sprouts, tomatoes, spinach, etc.
The second is fish, shrimp and meat, bacon, beef stew, chicken, ham, prawns, salmon, sardines, French fish soup, etc.
The third is the other category, including chocolate, cheese, pepper, mushrooms, toast, sherry, mint candy, coffee, toffee, etc.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with all of the above. If it were just these three categories, Li Xuan would not refuse at all. The problem lies with the fourth category. Li Xuan always feels that the fourth category of Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans is redundant and anti-human.
The fourth category is non-food. There are not many items, only four, but each one is more disgusting than the other.
Soap, booger, earwax, vomit.
Well, after seeing this, I don’t want to eat it anymore, let alone try my luck by tasting it myself. Li Xuan also doesn’t know what Bertie Bott, the inventor of Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans, was thinking. He actually added such a flavor. Was he afraid that Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans would sell well?
Anyway, Li Xuan had no interest in this at all. There were so many other snacks, why did he have to make himself uncomfortable?
For example, the candy that Li Xuan is holding in his hand now looks like a magic wand, the licorice magic wand, also called the licorice magic wand. From the name you can tell that it has a licorice flavor.
There is also the Blowing Super Bubble Gum, which should be the most expensive snack Li Xuan bought this time, and the price is 2 silver Sickles.
Why is Blowing Treasure Super Bubble Gum so expensive? Because this kind of bubble gum allows people to blow bluebell-colored bubbles, and these bubbles can float in the room for days without bursting.
There were also shiny pink cubes of pink coconut sorbet, pumpkin pasties that tasted like Cornish pasties but were filled with pumpkin, and chocolate balls filled with strawberry jelly and chunks of cream.
The various kinds of snacks really opened up a new world for Li Xuan. Although the variety was not as many as in the technological world, they were all strange and could easily satisfy people’s curiosity.
Moreover, Li Xuan liked to eat snacks very much before and after the time travel, otherwise he would not have changed from a handsome young man to a little fat boy before the time travel.
Although the snacks were delicious, they made people thirsty. Li Xuan took out a pot of watermelon juice from the small world and even put ice cubes in it.
The watermelons were naturally the ones grown by Li Xuan in the small world. Squeezing juice was just a matter of thought. The ice cubes were taken from the refrigerator. With Li Xuan in a small world, he was not afraid of being hungry or thirsty.
Chapter 41: The Savior Who Doesn’t Look Like a Savior (3/3) (Old Version)
After Li Xuan poured a glass of ice watermelon juice for himself and Nawei, he drank the whole glass of watermelon juice in one gulp. It felt so good!
Neville, who was sipping from the cup over there, had envy in his eyes. When would he be able to express himself as bravely as Li Xuan?
Although it is not hot in England in September, and is even a little cool, it is still very comfortable to drink a sip of ice-cold watermelon juice.
As for what is bad for your stomach and intestines and makes you feel uncomfortable?
Sorry, after you awaken your magic power and become a wizard, as long as you don’t die immediately, I can basically save you!
Li Xuan poured himself another full glass of watermelon juice and this time he drank it in small sips.
As expected of a watermelon grown in the small world, the juice tastes refreshing and sweet, sweeter than watermelon juice with honey, but not overly sweet.
The smooth taste when you drink it is better than 99% of watermelons on the market.
“Eh? Watermelon juice, was it you, Li Xuan, who took it out?”
At this time, Hermione, the reporter who was watching the show in front, also came back. She saw a small table with steaming watermelon juice on it. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Li Xuan’s masterpiece.
Unlike adults, children don’t have so many ideas. Since Li Xuan owns a necklace that can cast the Traceless Extension Spell, it is normal to store things in it, although watermelon juice is a bit strange.
But maybe Li Xuan likes drinking watermelon juice very much so he always brings it with him wherever he goes?
Li Xuan also poured the other person a cup. Looking at the sweat on his forehead, he knew that this melon-eating trip was not so easy.
“Phew, thank you!”
Hermione, who had just returned, was very thirsty, so she drank it in one gulp and licked her lips after finishing it. The watermelon juice was quite delicious, better than what she had drunk at home before, but it might also be that she was too thirsty.
“So what happened over there?”
Seeing that Hermione had recovered, Li Xuan asked. Hearing Li Xuan’s question, Neville also pricked up his ears to listen, after all, he was also very curious.
After listening to what Hermione said, Li Xuan could only say that Draco Malfoy was really a complete naughty kid.
This time the commotion was caused by Draco and Harry. After Draco was humiliated by Li Xuan just now, he felt more and more unhappy after he went back. After all, he had never been so embarrassed and awkward before.
But he naturally didn’t dare to cause trouble for Li Xuan again, but he felt choked and uncomfortable with this breath.
If he couldn’t afford to offend Li Xuan, there were naturally others who could. Draco didn’t plan to look for ordinary students. Thinking of the famous savior Harry Potter, it seemed like a good choice to vent his anger on him.
As for why not choose to be friends?
That was because the two of them had met before in Madam Malkin’s robe shop in Diagon Alley, but Draco’s arrogant attitude reminded Harry of his cousin Dudley, so of course he had a bad impression of Draco.
Since you don’t accept my solicitation, then you are my mortal enemy. Yes, Draco’s way of thinking is so fresh and unconventional.
This time, Crabbe and Goyle were brought along, and they had just been offended by Li Xuan, so their attitude became even worse. And Ron, a guy whom Draco looked down upon, was also there, so it was normal for them to have a quarrel.
If it was just a quarrel, it wouldn’t have caused such a big commotion. The main reason was that they got angry and started fighting.
Two against three, they were not at an advantage in numbers. The thin and weak Harry and Ron were at most as strong as Draco, but they were far inferior to Crabbe and Goyle.
So Harry and Ron were naturally at a disadvantage when the fight started, but fortunately, when Draco and Harry started arguing, there were people watching from the side, and when the fight broke out later, they quickly stepped forward to pull them apart.
So Harry and Ron were just a little embarrassed, but not injured. Hermione returned without watching what happened next.
Although he was very interested in the legendary savior Harry Potter, seeing the other person’s state, it was not a good time to chat.
Moreover, the other party had just had a quarrel with Draco and his friends’ children. Comparing the miserable appearance of Draco and the other two in front of Li Xuan, Hermione found it hard to believe that the skinny, weak little boy with glasses and ill-fitting clothes in front of her was the legendary savior.
If people did not know this in advance and compared Li Xuan and Harry Potter separately, everyone would think that Li Xuan was the legendary savior, because Li Xuan’s image and temperament perfectly matched their imagination of the savior.
It is really unimaginable that the legendary second generation of dark magic, Voldemort Tom Riddle, was defeated by someone like Harry.
Of course, this is also because many people don’t know the ins and outs of it. Voldemort said that he was defeated by Harry, but in fact, it would be better to say that he was defeated by maternal love.
But in order to cover up the truth and boost people’s morale, the announcement was naturally that Voldemort was defeated by a child. In this way, people’s fear of Voldemort would definitely be reduced a lot.
At the same time, a ‘savior’ will be created to fill the wizards with power. Even if Voldemort returns again in the future, the savior Harry Potter is still there.
If I can defeat you once, I will naturally be able to defeat you a second and a third time. I can kill you when you are a baby, let alone after you grow up.
If it had been advertised that Voldemort was killed by the rebound of Lily Evans’ wand, the effect would not have been so good.
Lily Evans also died, so what if Voldemort is reborn again in the future?
Therefore, Li Xuan guessed that this was the origin of Harry Potter’s title of savior, which was created through the joint efforts of the contemporary first white wizard Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.
Chapter 42 Pure-blood Wizard (1/3) (Old Version)
“By the way, Li Xuan, what did the boy who came to trouble us mean by mudblood?”
Li Xuan didn’t expect Hermione to ask this question suddenly, and thought that this question had been skipped.
Li Xuan couldn’t help but look at Neville over there. Although Neville was a little cowardly, he also knew the meaning of the word Mudblood.
Of course Hermione knew that the word Mudblood was not a good word, otherwise Li Xuan would not have been so annoyed just now, but she still wanted to know what it meant. If for no other reason, at least when someone scolded her, she would know what the other person was talking about.
As for being angry?
Although Hermione was a little angry, she was not as sad as in the original timeline. After all, Draco was mainly targeting Li Xuan. Secondly, Li Xuan didn’t seem to care much and directly scared the other party to death.
Seeing Hermione like this, Li Xuan organized his words a little. Although he didn’t care about Draco calling him a mudblood, Hermione was still young and would definitely feel uncomfortable being said that. It was also a bit of an unprovoked disaster. Draco came to cause trouble for him mainly because of his wand.
After thinking for a while, Li Xuan said, “Hermione, the word mudblood is not a good word in the wizarding world. It means a wizard whose parents are both ordinary people, and it carries insulting and discriminatory meanings.
From the word “mud”, we can tell that this kind of wizards are looked down upon, especially those pure-blood wizards. The so-called pure-blood wizards are those whose parents are both wizards.
For example, the guy just now is from the pure-blood wizard family Malfoy, and his platinum hair is the best proof of the Malfoy family.
This word is actually a very vicious word. Only someone who hates others very much would say such a word. Mr. Malfoy, a spoiled child, thinks it is interesting to use this as a catchphrase, but it is just a manifestation of weakness. “
After hearing what Li Xuan said, Hermione understood and said, “Is this nothing more than the pure-blood theory?”
Li Xuan was very surprised to hear the word pure-blood theory from Hermione’s mouth. After all, this word represents the ideas of the noseless socket man or the ideas of the dark lords.
Of course Hermione also saw the surprise in Li Xuan’s eyes, and felt a little proud in her heart. After all, this was the first time she saw Li Xuan show such an expression since they met, and it was because of her.
“I bought some books when I was in Diagon Alley before, and read some theories from them.”
Well, that’s very Hermione.
Li Xuan continued, “In that case, you should understand that wizards are made up of pure-blood wizards, half-blood wizards, and wizards of ordinary origin like us.”
“Wait! Li Xuan, you are also a wizard who originated from an ordinary person?!!”
Hearing this, Hermione suddenly interrupted Li Xuan’s words. Although she knew it was a bit impolite, she couldn’t help it. In addition to the surprise on her face, Hermione also had a hint of joy in her heart that she didn’t even notice.
Neville, who was listening quietly, looked at Li Xuan in surprise. Although he already knew from Li Xuan’s name that the other party was not a pure-blood wizard, he thought that the other party was a half-blood wizard, but it turned out not to be?
But how could a wizard like Li Xuan, who is so elegant and possesses such a magical wand reincarnation, and has such a powerful aura, be a Muggle-born wizard?
“Then I understand. Li Xuan, you must be a noble from the ancient East, right?”
At this time, Hermione had another idea. After all, Li Xuan was so elegant, and from the looks of it, he was not short of money.
“No, you’re still wrong. I’m an orphan. As for why I’m so generous, it’s not because I’m pretending to be a sucker, but because I run a small business in the real world, so I’m not really short of money.”
Without Hermione asking more questions, Li Xuan could tell what else she wanted to ask, so he simply answered them all at once.
“I’m sorry, I…”
Li Xuan waved his hand, telling the apologetic girl not to worry about it, after all, being a time traveler is a standard feature.
Hermione and Neville really didn’t expect Li Xuan’s background to be like this. They can only say that Li Xuan’s temperament and appearance are too deceptive.
But looking at Li Xuan’s expression, he really didn’t care. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but she secretly remembered in her heart not to ask similar questions again in the future.
“Okay, let’s get back to our topic just now,” Li Xuan continued, “So the term mudblood is a form of contempt used by pure-blood wizards towards other wizards.
In their opinion, except for pure-blood wizards, other wizards are not worthy of being called wizards, or pure-blood wizards should be superior to others.
Just like the pure-blood theory you just mentioned, Hermione, not all pure-blood wizards have this idea. Only some pure-blood wizards have this idea.
In fact, no matter whether they are pure-blood, half-blood, or ordinary wizards, the starting point of every wizard is the same. Even if their family gives them some help, the power of wizards cannot be determined by money, so Hermione, you don’t have to care too much. “
Li Xuan’s words were naturally biased. After all, although money could not directly increase the power of wizards, it could buy countless resources for wizards. However, in order to build Hermione’s confidence at this time, Li Xuan would certainly not be so stupid as to say such a thing.
What to do after finding out?
That doesn’t matter. At that time, Hermione had already discovered that she could surpass other wizards by herself, and her achievements were the best proof!
Chapter 43 Happy Education (2/3) (Old Version)
“Moreover, not all pure-blood families are as arrogant and conceited as the Malfoy family. There are also many good pure-blood families. For example, Neville is a member of the pure-blood Longbottom family.”
Hearing Li Xuan’s words, Hermione looked at Neville. That look made Neville shrink back in the corner of his chair, because Hermione meant that I didn’t expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually from a pure-blood family? ! ! !
“Wizards from pure-blood families are not uncommon in the wizarding world, and you’ve even come across quite a few of them. In addition to Neville, the little red-haired wizard you saw with Harry Potter just now is from the Weasley family. The characteristic of the Weasley family is red hair.
In addition, Master Ollivander, the wand master, is also a pure-blood wizard, so pure-blood wizard is just a title, just like humans are divided into black, white, and yellow according to their skin color. There are good and bad people in every race, and you can’t generalize them.”
Hermione’s understanding of the wizarding world is still in its infancy, so Li Xuan hopes that she can think dialectically.
“You have read relevant books, so you must know that the so-called pure-blooded sacred twenty-eight clans actually just refer to a wizard or wizard family with pure or nearly pure wizard bloodline.
Although the setting of pure-blood wizard families has obvious characteristics of real aristocracy, it does not actually mean that pure-blood wizard families are aristocrats in the magical world. It is just a way of dividing them based on family tree and bloodline. “
Hermione didn’t know why Li Xuan, who was born with the same background as her, knew so much about wizards. Didn’t she see that even Neville, who was born as a pure-blood wizard, was listening carefully to Li Xuan’s popular science. After all, this knowledge was rarely mentioned by wizards.
In fact, in the eyes of people like Li Xuan, the educational methods of Hogwarts are very problematic, or rather, the educational methods of the entire magical world are problematic, but Li Xuan has not changed his mind.
Because for him now, it is a thankless task, it is easy to offend people, and there is no great gain.
Li Xuan’s primary goal now is to develop the small world and collect magical animals. This is the right way.
“But won’t the little wizards born in pure-blood families be much stronger than us? Although I learned a few spells during the holidays, they are so much ahead of us, and they have family members to tutor them. Can we keep up with them?”
It has to be said that entering a completely new field, a completely new environment, completely new knowledge, unfamiliar teachers and friends puts a lot of pressure on Hermione, a sensitive girl, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked Li Xuan so many questions.
In other words, Li Xuan showed his erudition in front of her and was also easy to talk to. With the addition of his good looks and temperament, Hermione’s favorability increased rapidly.
“Don’t worry, you have to be more confident and believe in yourself. It’s not just Neville, it’s you too. Compared to other little wizards, you are also very good, smart and hardworking.
Don’t think that young wizards born in wizarding families have very little education before entering Hogwarts. In order to restrict young wizards from using magic indiscriminately, they are only allowed to buy their wands at Ollivander’s Wand Shop when they reach a certain age.
Besides, little wizards are also children, and it is difficult for them to concentrate on learning. The elders at home can only impart some knowledge at most. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Neville and see what the situation is between him and the little wizards he knows.”
Neville didn’t expect that he would be cueed by Li Xuan while he was learning, but now at least he doesn’t stutter so much in front of Li Xuan and Hermione, which is a great improvement.
What he didn’t know was that Li Xuan did this on purpose. For this little fat boy, blind encouragement was useless. Instead, he should be encouraged to take more actions and show more, so that he could accumulate his self-confidence bit by bit.
“Brother Li Xuan is right. Few of the little wizards I know have learned magic before school starts…”
I don’t know when it started, but Neville suddenly started calling Li Xuan “brother”. There was nothing I could do about it. Li Xuan’s mature way of handling things, profound knowledge, and talkative nature all gave people a feeling of trust and reliability. He didn’t seem like someone of the same age at all.
And after talking about birthdays, Li Xuan is naturally older than him, so there is nothing wrong with calling him brother.
While listening to Neville’s words, Li Xuan verified his guess. He had to admit that although that person was weak in character, he was very good at observing things because of his sensitive personality.
Just as Li Xuan expected, in the wizarding world, the training of young wizards is extremely diverse. Just look at Hogwarts to understand the educational level of the British wizarding world.
Wizards’ personalities are easily influenced by magic, and Britain advocates so-called happy education. It is really difficult to ask wizard parents to teach their children.
Just look at what happened to Neville as a child and you will know that being alive and not dying is the only criterion. Oh, and magic powers must be awakened, and that’s all.
After hearing Neville’s general account of the educational situation in the wizarding world, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to Neville, she really didn’t need to worry too much.
Chapter 44: Sensible Bird Snake (3/3) (Old Version)
“Woo woo woo”
The Hogwarts Express train was swaying forward all the time. It had started at around ten in the morning, but it was not until dark that it arrived at Hogwarts.
After lunch, they had the Chinese food that Li Xuan made from his own little world. It really opened the eyes of Hermione and Neville.
In order to suit the tastes of Hermione and Neville, Li Xuan prepared sweet and light dishes, such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, fried tofu stuffed with meat, and so on.
Of course, Hermione and Neville’s family also asked them to bring food, such as sandwiches and rice balls, which they simply used as the staple food. Although the combination was a bit strange, we shouldn’t waste food!
People tend to feel sleepy after a full meal, not to mention that everyone got up early in the morning to catch the bus. And at my age, I am still a little sleepy.
You can’t do anything on the train. Even if the scenery outside is nice, you’ll get bored after looking at it for a long time. There’s not much to talk about.
In such a boring environment, Li Xuan and the other three began to feel sleepy.
It is of course very uncomfortable to sleep while sitting, and it seems that we still have a few hours to go. If you really sleep while sitting while waiting for Hogwarts, I guarantee that your neck and feet will be sore.
Don’t ask Li Xuan how he knew this. When he was in college in his previous life, the only way home was by bus. He would sit on the bus for four or five hours, and there was no part of his body that didn’t feel sore or numb.
Although it was a joy to go home, the journey home was not that joyful.
If sitting is uncomfortable, then lying down to sleep is naturally more comfortable. However, there are two benches on the left and right of the carriage, which are so narrow that they can only accommodate two people. Three people are certainly not possible, even if one person hugs another. You know what I mean.
But it doesn’t matter, our Doraemon Li Xuan has a solution. Two benches are not enough, won’t three be enough?
Li Xuan took out a folding office bed from the small world warehouse, placed it in the middle and unfolded it. Wouldn’t the problem be solved?
He even took out three blankets and three pillows. Don’t ask where they came from. Li Xuan’s warehouse was filled with all kinds of messy things. There was enough space, so he was so willful.
To this end, Li Xuan spent millions of pounds, so Li Xuan’s huge warehouse can ensure that he can live a good life for several years even if he is wandering on a deserted island.
In order to prevent others from disturbing them, Li Xuan locked the door of the carriage and placed the folding bed in the middle. This was of course Li Xuan’s position, and the chairs on the left and right were Hermione and Neville’s territory.
With pillows for their heads and blankets covering them, Li Xuan and the other two slept very comfortably. Of course, Li Xuan was very alert and secretly released a bird-snake to help keep watch.
A bird-snake that looked like a small snake was nestled beside Li Xuan’s pillow, but Hermione and Neville didn’t notice it.
The little wizards, who had been making a lot of noise for the whole morning, felt a little tired. When they passed by and saw Li Xuan and the others sleeping so soundly, they suddenly felt sleepy.
Slowly, the whole train became quiet. Except for a few assigned prefects, most of the other young wizards fell asleep.
Only this train was still rumbling forward at a steady speed.
“Dirty dirty dirty pants pants pants”
As night fell, the train got closer and closer to Hogwarts. Li Xuan and the others were awakened by the shouts of their class leaders.
Because they are about to arrive at Hogwarts, we need to wake everyone up, especially the freshmen, and ask them to change into the robes they bought from Madam Malkin and wear uniform clothes. Soon they will be the most handsome kids in Hogwarts and will be sorted.
I have to say, it is comfortable to sleep lying down, with a pillow and a blanket covering you, taking a nap in such cool weather is indeed a wonderful thing, especially when you wake up and find that a little girl ran to you and hugged your arm while you were sleeping.
Hermione felt her face burning as she folded the blanket. How did she end up next to someone else while she was sleeping? It must be that she usually slept with her doll in her arms at home, and when she fell asleep she was not used to it, so she touched something next to her and hugged it.
The height of Li Xuan’s folding bed is about the same as that of the bench, so this is the case. However, Neville’s sleeping posture over there is very good, he curled up obediently in the same place.
As for why the bird-snake beside the pillow didn’t remind Li Xuan?
I’m sorry, Li Xuan’s order is to remind him when there is danger or someone is about to do something wrong to him. Will the sleeping Hermione cause any harm to Li Xuan?
That is of course impossible, so it is normal for the bird snake not to remind you.
Moreover, although the bird snake is a trainee who has only been training for a year, it is not stupid. Will its owner reject such behavior? Will he approve of waking him up?
In this regard, the earliest born bird snake just wants to say something to others, no, it should be said to other brothers and sisters, sometimes emotional intelligence is more important than IQ.
The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but more about the ways of the world! I can only say that you are still young.
The bird snake even dared to pat its chest and guarantee that if it did so, not only would the owner not scold it, but it would also reward it. Just wait and see if you don’t believe it? !
Chapter 45: You may not find love around the corner (1/3) (Old version)
Li Xuan put the blanket, pillow, folding bed and the bird-snake into the small world. The bird-snake had been guarding it for the entire afternoon, so Li Xuan would naturally not treat it badly. There must be a reward for every effort, and this is Li Xuan’s philosophy of doing things.
Li Xuan promised the bird-snake that he would reward it with a grilled fish this time. The bird-snake knew that this was the master’s way of praising it for its good behavior in the afternoon.
Therefore, his thoughts and guesses were correct. The bird-snake proudly returned to the small world to pass on his “experience” to his younger brothers and sisters!
Li Xuan had no idea that the birds and snakes he raised had so many cunning minds. Although he knew that magical animals would become much smarter after staying in the small world for a long time and absorbing more spiritual energy, he didn’t expect it to be to this extent!
Li Xuan pulled Neville out first, and when he went out, he helped Hermione close the curtain and door of the carriage, leaving space for the girl to change clothes.
Seeing Li Xuan being so considerate, Hermione’s liking for him increased a lot. Which girl could refuse such a considerate and gentle handsome boy?
Of course, the last point is more important, otherwise it will be useless no matter how well you do in the first two points.
Just like the famous saying that deceived Li Xuan during his compulsory education, genius is nothing more than 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.
But there is more to this famous saying. There is also a second half: Genius is nothing more than 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, but that 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% perspiration.
So no matter how considerate and gentle you are, if you are not handsome and girls don’t have any feelings for you, I’m sorry, you are not a gentleman, but a bootlicker.
A few minutes later, Hermione opened the door. I have to say, Hermione looked even cuter in a wizard robe. With her big front teeth and fluffy hair, she was very nice!
“I’ve changed my clothes, you guys can go in and change too!”
There is nothing to mind about Li Xuan and Nawei, they are both boys. When Li Xuan was studying and living in the dormitory in his previous life, it was extremely normal for a group of boys to walk around in the dormitory wearing only shorts. Can she be considered to have seen countless men?
Well, Li Xuan said that he didn’t really want this achievement.
After changing their clothes, Li Xuan and the others got off the bus in order. However, before getting off the bus, Li Xuan glanced out through the window, took out a bag, put some things in it, and would need them later.
“Let’s go!”
Li Xuan told Hermione and Neville that as for the luggage, they didn’t need to carry it, as someone would deliver it to Hogwarts and accurately to their dormitories.
Li Xuan felt that this was due to the house-elves.
There were only some spare clothes and daily necessities in the suitcase, so Li Xuan didn’t worry too much.
If it was a suitcase like Newt’s, Li Xuan decided to carry it with him at all times.
“First years have arrived at Hogwarts, follow me!”
Li Xuan and Hermione heard Hagrid’s rough voice before they got out of the car.
As soon as Li Xuan got off the car, he saw Hagrid standing there and shouting to everyone that the first-year students had to go through the process with Hagrid and walk the same route as Hogwarts.
As for older students from other grades, of course they don’t need to, they can just go directly to school.
So if I feel the evening breeze that you felt, does that count as an embrace?
Yes, this is a close contact!
I have walked the path you have walked. Does this count as a meeting?
Yes, it’s a secondary close contact!
You may not necessarily find love around the corner, you may also encounter an epidemic!
While Li Xuan was thinking about these lousy jokes in his mind, he followed the main group. Li Xuan and Hermione were at the back, while at the front were of course Harry, who was closest to Hagrid, and his good brother Ron.
As for our other acquaintance, Mr. Draco Malfoy?
He stayed in the middle obediently. After all, there was Li Xuan behind him and the annoying Harry Potter in front of him. Now he was following that big guy, so he was not stupid enough to go up and ask for trouble.
Li Xuan knows why all first-year students have to take this path to enter school. The theme is nostalgia and gratitude!
This road, and the four people on a boat that will be taking place later, are all to commemorate the route that the four great men of Hogwarts took when they discovered Hogwarts. It is like a kind of spiritual inheritance and gratitude.
After getting off the train, night fell. The air was empty and the cold wind blew, causing the little wizards, who had been hiding in the carriage and had no sense of the weather changes, to shrink their heads instantly.
“Take it with you!”
Li Xuan took out three scarves from the bag and gave one to Hermione and Neville respectively. Just before getting off the car, he opened the window to feel the temperature.
Although my body wasn’t cold even with the wizard robe on, the wind blowing through my neck felt unpleasant.
“Thanks!”
Hermione and Neville didn’t try to be brave. After all, the wind was really cold, and it was also nice to see other people looking at them with envy!
As for the rest, the two of them kept it in their hearts. Although they had only known each other for a short day, Li Xuan really took great care of them.
However, what they didn’t know was that these were just some habits of an adult when going out. Although Li Xuan was not married and had no children in his previous life, he was a person who would always be adequately prepared when going out.
Chapter 46: Night turns to day (2/3) (Old version)
Li Xuan also wrapped one around himself. Although his physique was not afraid of the wind, why should he be exposed to it?
Hogwarts is some distance away from the Black Lake where the boat is taken. After leaving the station, the light here gradually dims. Hogwarts has no plans to install street lights here.
Although this road is traveled once a year, walking it once a year does not make it smoother or easier to walk on.
On the contrary, perhaps in order to increase the difficulty for the little wizards, the plants and trees growing here either quietly extended their roots to the end of the road, or simply took root in it during this year.
Although I will be stepped on, I can still knock down one or two little wizards, which is not bad. My life finally has meaning.
Li Xuan, who was walking behind, saw the little wizards in front of him constantly tripping and falling. Just now, Hermione stepped into a small pit without noticing. If Li Xuan hadn’t pulled her out, she might have been one of them.
Li Xuan laughed, with him here this year, the situation might be very different!
He took something out of the bag that had just contained the scarf. Hermione and Neville were puzzled just now, but after the scarf was taken out of the bag, there was obviously something else inside. What could be so precious that it had to be kept on the person all the time? Wouldn’t it be better to put it in the suitcase and send it to the dormitory?
However, after Li Xuan took the things out of the paper bag, he put the paper bag directly into his small world. Under the dim light, no one noticed except Hermione and Neville who were close by.
How can you have the time to pay attention to others at this time? You can’t even take care of yourself. If you are not careful, you will be the next one to fall.
Hermione looked at the thing in Li Xuan’s hand. It looked like a flashlight. But why was this flashlight a little strange? It was different from what she had seen before.
Seeing Neville and Hermione looking at the flashlight in his hand curiously, Li Xuan did not hide anything and turned on the switch directly. In an instant, everyone felt a white mist in front of their eyes and could not see anything.
In addition to Li Xuan, the shrewd guy, there were also Hermione and Neville who were told by Li Xuan to close their eyes for a few seconds. This was because the brightness changed suddenly and their eyes did not have time to adapt.
But after their eyes adjusted, they were all very happy because the road in front of them had become bright and they no longer had to worry about tripping.
It must have been done by some kind-hearted person, but when these little wizards tried to look back from the front, they were dazzled by the light behind them. They didn’t dare to do it anymore, but they were still very happy. No one likes the feeling of falling, not to mention that it seemed to have just rained here. If they fell, they would definitely get a lot of mud on their bodies. They didn’t want to look sloppy when they first entered school.
Especially for boys, if they are really in such a mess, they will definitely lose the right to choose their partner for seven years!
Li Xuan was holding a flashlight that was half the size of a basketball. It was quite heavy, just like the extra-large flashlight that Li Xuan used to carry when he patrolled at the construction site.
In fact, in the future, the size of such flashlights will be greatly reduced, perhaps only the size of a sugarcane, but due to the limitations of the current era, the size and weight will have to be several levels larger, and the battery life is only about an hour, which is much worse than in later generations.
In addition, the brightness and lighting range were greatly reduced. Later, Li Xuan saw a flashlight that could illuminate an entire community. Li Xuan finally understood what it meant to be as bright as daylight.
But even so, it is still difficult to buy on the market. Li Xuan had to specifically ask his subordinates to purchase it. It is not cheap, and it cannot be bought without certain channels. However, Li Xuan is now considered a capitalist in the world of science and technology.
In a democratic country like this, naturally, those with money are the boss, and money can pave the way for everything else.
Although it can only last for more than an hour, it is enough. It doesn’t take more than an hour to walk this road, only about ten to twenty minutes, otherwise the station will be extended forward.
Li Xuan was playing with the flashlight in his hand. He had wanted to buy this flashlight that could turn night into day when he saw it on Taobao in his previous life. However, he thought it would be of no use and it was not cheap, so he did not buy it.
But this time, when preparing things before school started, he suddenly remembered the flashlight, so Li Xuan took the toy.
In fact, it is not difficult to use a magic wand to create fluorescent flashes, which is more in line with the identity of a wizard.
But Li Xuan felt that this was more comfortable and easier, and the range of the light was wider. It would naturally be good if he could help other little wizards with just a little effort.
Perhaps the only unhappy person is our Mr. Draco Malfoy. After all, Li Xuan is so popular that he overshadows him.
But he didn’t dare to ask Li Xuan for the flashlight, so he could only sulk in silence.
“Li Xuan, is this a flashlight?”
Seeing that Hermione recognized the flashlight in his hand, Li Xuan was not surprised and nodded.
When Hermione saw Neville’s puzzled look, she took the initiative to introduce this thing to Neville who had never seen a flashlight before.
Not only Neville, but also the other little wizards standing beside Li Xuan and the others were listening as they walked. They were very curious about things they had never seen before.
Now I don’t have to look at my feet so carefully and can focus on listening to Hermione’s explanation.
Chapter 47: Mermaid Legend (3/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 47 The Legend of Mermaids (3/3)
After walking forward for another ten minutes, Li Xuan and the others finally arrived at the Black Lake. Looking at the vast Black Lake in front of them and the Hogwarts looming in the distance, all the young wizards stopped talking for a moment and stared blankly at the shocking scene in front of them.
“Everyone get on board quickly. There are four people in one boat. Hurry!”
Hagrid’s voice broke the little wizards’ meditation, and everyone got on the boat as Hagrid requested. Those who knew each other got together, and if not, they just formed groups randomly.
The three of them, like Li Xuan, naturally got on the same small boat, along with the future Gryffindor demolition genius Seamus Finnigan.
The boat is constructed with one person in the front and one in the back, two people in the middle, and an oil lamp.
With Hermione’s personality, she naturally ran to the bow, then the stern belonged to Li Xuan, and Neville and Seamus were in the middle. No one had any objection to this.
Li Xuan looked at the black lake in front of him. Li Xuan knew that there were giant squids, grindylows and mermaid communities living in the lake.
The mermaids in Hogwarts are not the mermaids in fairy tales. The mermaids in fairy tales are the embodiment of beauty and kindness. If you want to have a beautiful love story with each other, it can only be said that your XP is unique and different.
But the mermaids here are intelligent creatures with a danger level of XXXX. They look like both humans and fish, but are not half human and half beast. They are distributed all over the world.
Mermaids also vary in appearance, and are divided into different subspecies or races based on where they live.
According to Li Xuan’s understanding, the earliest mermaids appeared in Greece and were called Sirens. In modern times, mermaids living in warm waters have a more beautiful appearance, while mermaids living in cold waters have not changed much.
The mermaids usually live in cold waters, with iron-gray skin, long, messy dark green hair, yellow eyes, and incomplete yellow teeth. They like to string pebbles together with a rope and wear them around their necks.
In fact, doesn’t it seem unreasonable to classify mermaids as magical creatures?
After all, mermaids are intelligent, and it can be said that their intelligence is higher than that of most animals.
Mermaids also have their own language and hobby, which is music. They also have their own prosperous culture and live in highly organized communities. Some even build elaborate homes out of stone.
In addition, mermaids can also patrol the seas and inject creatures such as grindylo, sea monsters with horse heads and fish tails, and loba worms, and even use loba worms as weapons. They can also make jewelry, weapons, create sculptures, etc., and can also communicate through gestures.
From this perspective, don’t you think that mermaids are clearly “humans”, so why are they classified as magical creatures?
Li Xuan also knew about this. The reason was that the mermaid took the initiative to refuse the status of a “human” and chose the identity of a “beast”. As for the reason, no one would believe it if he told them, and they would think he was joking.
That is, the merman is unwilling to share the same identity with the banshee and the vampire.
Didn’t expect it? Not only you, Li Xuan also thought so when he saw it for the first time, saying that it was really an eye-opener.
Li Xuan has no interest in mermaids, but he is interested in giant squids and grindylows. Now in his own little world, there are creatures that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. The birds and snakes that fly in the sky can make guest appearances, and there are plenty of creatures that run on the ground, but there is a lack of creatures that swim in the water.
There is no way, because Li Xuan is a landlubber and cannot swim. If there are magical aquatic animals, Li Xuan can use their swimming skills and will not be afraid of drowning. It can even be said that he is like a fish in water.
While Li Xuan was thinking, the boat was moving forward. It was driven by magic and did not require anyone to row.
As the boat continued to move forward, the calm surface of the Black Lake was broken by one boat after another. Looking at the Hogwarts buildings built on the mountain, Li Xuan couldn’t help but become excited. Hogwarts, here I come!
Li Xuan was so excited that he couldn’t help whistling. Neville, Hermione and the others thought that the music was very nice and very much in line with the temperament of Hogwarts.
In response to this, Li Xuan said that it was natural, and he was playing the Hedwig Variations, which could be said to be music tailor-made for Hogwarts!
Of course, there is also a song called Lockmeup that fits the bill very well, but that is a battle song. When playing this song during a battle, Li Xuan feels that no one can defeat him with his own BGM!!!
Every little wizard stared at the Hogwarts in front of them with wide eyes, greedily. Is this where they will stay for seven years in the future? How cool!
The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating a huge ancient castle, and the castle was brightly lit. It looked like a magic castle in a fairy tale, which surprised the little wizards.
But with the speed of the boat, it only takes a few minutes to cross the Black Lake, so even if the little wizards are reluctant, they have to get off the boat.
After getting off the boat, Hagrid counted the number of people again out of concern. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was missing and everyone arrived at Hogwarts safely.
After handing over the little wizards to Professor McGonagall, my mission this time will be successfully completed!
Chapter 48: The Legend of the Sorting Ceremony (1/3) (Old Version)
I am a Master of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts: Chapter 48: The Legend of the Sorting Ceremony (1/3)
Li Xuan looked at the tunnel above his head. It was a dark tunnel formed by ivy curtains. This should be the bottom of Hogwarts Castle.
All the small boats were moored in the dock. Li Xuan and other freshmen followed Hagrid through the dock passage, which is a passage connecting the dock and Hogwarts. Every year, freshmen enter Hogwarts through this passage.
Walking out of the dock passage, he followed Hagrid up to the first floor, which was the underground floor. After turning the stairs, Li Xuan saw Professor McGonagall, wearing a pointed wizard hat, waiting there.
As for Li Xuan’s magic flashlight? He took it back directly into the small world. The young wizards were all attracted by Hogwarts and the upcoming sorting ceremony, so they naturally didn’t pay attention to this.
As for why he put it away and didn’t take it with him, Li Xuan knew that Professor McGonagall was a rather strict professor and he didn’t want to give a very bad first impression to the other party. After all, he still had to learn a lot from this master of Transfiguration in the future.
“Professor McGonagall, first years, all present!”
Hagrid greeted Professor McGonagall, handed the little wizard to Professor McGonagall and left. Naturally, he also had to go into the hall to attend the dinner.
“Welcome to Hogwarts!”
Professor McGonagall first welcomed the arrival of the young wizards, then gave some instructions, namely about the Sorting Ceremony, and told everyone to line up and wait, then turned and entered the auditorium.
Because Li Xuan was there, Neville’s toad Lefford did not disappear on the train and appear in front of Professor McGonagall.
Li Xuan took this opportunity to look around the foyer. There were burning torches on the stone walls, and directly opposite the oak door there was a luxurious marble staircase extending upwards. Li Xuan guessed that this should be the staircase leading to the second floor.
In addition, the sharp-eyed Li Xuan also saw that there was a door on the left and right sides of the stairs. Having watched the movie, Li Xuan knew that the door on the left led to the Slytherin common room, and the door on the right led to the Hufflepuff common room and kitchen.
This is very important, especially knowing where the kitchen is, which may be more important to Li Xuan than knowing where the classroom is.
While Li Xuan was looking around, Draco Malfoy over there might have felt that there was something wrong with the way he had interacted with Harry on the Hogwarts Express before, but he also felt that he should be more tolerant towards a celebrity like Harry Potter, so he walked up to him again and started chatting with him.
In the end, the two of them parted unhappily again. Ron, who was standing by, saw Draco’s look and couldn’t help laughing.
Well, this ignited Draco’s anger. The savior Harry Potter and I couldn’t get along, and you, a poor Weasley, dared to laugh at me?
Deeply influenced by his father Lucius Malfoy, he was full of disgust towards Weasley. Adding on being ridiculed, he took Weasley as a target to vent his anger, and he immediately turned on his venomous tongue mode and launched a crazy attack on Ron.
What Draco didn’t know was that this would only make him further away from Harry Potter and his impression of him would become worse and worse.
Li Xuan didn’t have time to care about the quarrel among the elementary school students at that time. Instead, the little girl Hermione was pulling his sleeve and asking questions.
“Li Xuan, Ron just said that his brothers told him that the Sorting Ceremony is to fight a giant dragon. How can we defeat a giant dragon!!!”
If it was an entrance exam, Hermione would not be afraid at all, as she had read a lot of books during the summer vacation, but fighting a dragon!
Whether it was the book he read during the holidays or what Li Xuan said on the train, the word “dragon” represented strength! How could a little wizard like him who hadn’t even enrolled in school defeat him? Would he drop out of school because of this? !
Seeing that Hermione was about to cry, Li Xuan was speechless. He also understood the bad taste of the Gryffindor twins. Ron’s miserable life at home was evident from this.
But this had nothing to do with Li Xuan. On the contrary, Ron said it in front of everyone, which made many young wizards feel sad.
“Don’t worry, the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony is not about fighting a dragon. If that were the case, no young wizard would be able to enroll. This is just someone trying to scare you.”
“Really?”
Hermione looked at Li Xuan with tears in her eyes. Li Xuan nodded and continued, “In fact, the Sorting Ceremony is not as scary as you think. It’s just putting on the Sorting Hat, and the Sorting Hat will sort you according to your characteristics.
The brave Gryffindor lion, the clever Ravenclaw eagle, the kind Hufflepuff badger, and the ambitious Slytherin snake are roughly divided according to these characteristics. You should also know the animals I mentioned, which are the representative animals of each college. “
“Li Xuan, tell us about the Sorting Hat!”
After listening to Li Xuan’s words, Hermione was finally no longer worried, because Li Xuan’s words were naturally more credible than Ron’s. Not only Hermione, but the other little wizards also stopped making noise and listened to Li Xuan obediently.
They also didn’t think that Li Xuan would lie to them. After all, they were going to go in soon, and Li Xuan wouldn’t lie at a time like this. Moreover, what Li Xuan said was well-founded and didn’t sound like fabrication at all.
As for Ron? That was just what I heard about Ron, so it was normal that it was not correct.
Li Xuan looked at the little wizards around him. It seemed that the evil tradition of not telling the little wizards what the Sorting Ceremony was was an unspoken rule followed by the entire English wizarding community.
This is because I was scared by my predecessors, and I also want to scare the younger generations?
Chapter 49: Lion Eagle Badger Snake (2/3) (Old Version)
Seeing that he had become the center of little wizards in an instant, Li Xuan had to recall the information about the Sorting Hat. After all, it was boring to just wait, so he decided to teach these little wizards.
Neither Li Xuan nor the other little wizards noticed that Li Xuan had naturally become the leader of everyone. He had a special quality, a charm.
This is made up of many aspects. The first is Li Xuan’s soul from his previous life, which naturally makes him more mature than others. The second is Li Xuan’s appearance and temperament.
The third one is the passive bonus that the Spirit Pearl of Ten Thousand Beasts gives to Li Xuan. It is naturally favorable. Humans are also animals!
“The Sorting Hat is a thoughtful pointed wizard hat that can decide which of the four colleges each new student should go to. As for why it can tell which college each little wizard is most suitable for, it naturally has its reasons.
The Sorting Hat is the hat used by Godric Gryffindor during his lifetime. Yes, the founder of Gryffindor House. In order to facilitate the sorting of the little wizards of Hogwarts, the four founders of Hogwarts injected their own thoughts into it, which created the magical Sorting Hat.
In a sense, the little wizards of each academy are actually chosen by the four founders, after all, the Sorting Hat contains their thoughts. “
The young wizards never imagined that the Sorting Hat actually contained the thoughts of the four founders of Hogwarts. This means that the Sorting Hat is indeed very precious.
Seeing the little wizards’ longing looks, Li Xuan smiled and said, “You don’t think the Sorting Hat is something very grand, do you? In that case, let me break your fantasy.”
“The Sorting Hat is not as good as you think. You have to know that it has been a thousand years since the Sorting Hat was made. No matter what it is, it is not worth mentioning in the face of time, even the Sorting Hat.
During these thousand years, the Sorting Hat would naturally not remain unchanged. This Sorting Hat has gone through many vicissitudes of life. Now it has become tattered, dirty and covered with pudding. Perhaps one of you can cast a cleaning spell on it later.
By the way, the Sorting Hat can talk and sing, although the singing is not very nice. When he speaks, the crack near the brim of the hat will open like a mouth. “
When the little wizards heard that the Sorting Hat was tattered, they were shocked. But when they learned that the Sorting Hat could talk, their interest in it revived.
And what Li Xuan said about casting a cleansing spell on the Sorting Hat was also remembered by several young wizards, especially our tough guy Draco Malfoy.
Because in his opinion, such a ‘heroic’ act was undoubtedly prepared for himself. Although he might not be able to cast other advanced spells, he could still cast a simple cleaning spell.
Just when Li Xuan started to explain, Draco and Harry had stopped arguing. After all, one was curious, and the other was more obedient to Li Xuan.
“Li Xuan, could you please give us a little more information about the four colleges?”
Hermione also wanted to know more about the four houses of Hogwarts. She wanted to know which house she was more suitable for.
“Gryffindor students are the epitome of bravery, and their courage, spirit and sense of justice will make Gryffindor stand out.
Hufflepuff students are honest and loyal, and are tough, honest and not afraid of hard work.
Ravenclaw students are pursuers of wisdom and knowledge. They are wise and knowledgeable.
Slytherin students are good at intelligence, have pure blood, and uphold the glory of pure-blood wizards. “
Li Xuan borrowed the song of the Sorting Hat to express the characteristics of the four houses.
Li Xuan only gave a rough idea, but this was a big deal for the young wizards. They all began to discuss which college they would be assigned to and which college their parents had been from. They thought it was very likely that they had inherited their parents’ intelligence, bravery, or kindness.
Li Xuan, who had his back to the teacher, didn’t notice that Professor McGonagall had actually come back when he started to explain. After all, she just went in to get a list and report to Dumbledore, which didn’t take much time.
When I just came back, I saw the Malfoy boys facing off against the Weasley boys, and Harry Potter was also getting ready to come out. After all, there are still three Weasleys in their own house. Malfoy’s platinum hair is as famous as Weasley’s red hair.
But later, when we saw Li Xuan starting to give some scientific knowledge to the young wizards, Professor McGonagall did not appear for the time being. Instead, she was looking for the child’s name, which was actually very easy to recognize.
An oriental face, and this year there is only one Donghuang name, Xuan Li, no, it should be Li Xuan. Such a little wizard from a Muggle family actually knows so much, it seems that he is indeed very smart and studious.
If nothing unexpected happens, this must be another talent from Ravenclaw. You know, Professor Flitwick told her Li Xuan’s name during the summer vacation.
When will our Gryffindor also have such a smart, sensible and leadership-oriented student instead of a group of reckless and brainless little lions?
The appearance of Li Xuan also made the young wizards ignore the appearance of the legendary savior Harry Potter. How could Harry Potter be more attractive than the Sorting Ceremony that was so closely related to them!
As for how Professor McGonagall knew Li Xuan’s background?
Don’t forget, in addition to being the head of Gryffindor, she is also the deputy head of Hogwarts. Basically, she is in charge of all matters concerning the freshmen, so it is not surprising that she knows Li Xuan’s background.
Chapter 50: Each One’s Own Observation (3/3) (Old Version)
“Okay, little wizards, line up and follow me!”
Professor McGonagall spoke to the crowd, and all the little wizards obediently lined up in two rows and followed Professor McGonagall.
Li Xuan did not notice Professor McGonagall’s arrival at first. After all, he had his back to the auditorium, and Professor McGonagall also intended to hide herself.
But after he finished speaking, the Sorting Hat turned around and discovered the other party. This is why he only said a few words when explaining the four major colleges later. After all, the most important task at present is the Sorting Ceremony, so don’t waste time.
More importantly, Li Xuan was hungry, so if the division ended earlier, Li Xuan could sit down and have dinner earlier.
The door of the auditorium slowly opened, and Li Xuan saw that the spacious auditorium was full of people. At the four long tables, students from four colleges were sitting on chairs and looking at the freshmen. Tonight, the freshmen were the well-deserved protagonists.
The high walls of the auditorium lead all the way to the ceiling, which is like black velvet dotted with stars, just like the bright night sky with twinkling stars.
There were many candles floating in the air in the auditorium. These were naturally candles that had been cast with a levitation spell, just like the ceiling that had been cast with magic to look like the night sky outside.
And right in front of the auditorium is the guest of honor seat, a long table reserved for the school’s faculty and staff. Our headmaster Dumbledore naturally sits in the center of the table!
“Look at this sky. It was created by magic. I spent my school history at Hogwarts.”
Hermione stood beside Li Xuan and spoke to him as she walked forward. Although she knew that Li Xuan, who was more knowledgeable than her, might know it, it was rare that this was within the scope of her knowledge, so she also wanted to show herself a little in front of Li Xuan.
Prove that I also love studying and reading, and that I can move forward with him.
Li Xuan knew that the Great Hall of Hogwarts was also the cafeteria. All kinds of banquets and daily meals for Hogwarts students were held in the Great Hall.
At the same time, during breakfast, mail and packages sent by owl search are collected here, and sometimes the auditorium is even used as a venue for course examinations.
Anyway, it is called an auditorium, but it actually serves various functions, including banquets, catering, teaching, rest and so on.
After all the young wizards came to the stool with the Sorting Hat and stood in front of it, Dumbledore stood up and said, “Before the Sorting Ceremony, I have a few things to announce about the start of school.
Attention first-year students: our school will keep a close eye on any student who enters the Dark Forest, also known as the Forbidden Forest.
Another warm reminder from our administrator, Mr. Filch, is that the door on the right side of the corridor on the third floor is also a forbidden area. If you don’t want to die too miserably, it’s best not to get close to it.
That’s about it, thank you.”
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he sat down, and the little wizards looked at the tattered Sorting Hat on the stool with shining eyes. Just now when they were outside, Li Xuan told everyone about the magic of the Sorting Hat.
As for Li Xuan, he was observing Professor Snape in the teacher’s seat and Professor Quirrell with a turban on his head. No, to be precise, it was Professor Quirrell and the socket man Fu Moumo who possessed the back of his head.
But both Snape and Quirrell, the two people who had been chatting, closed their mouths and looked at Harry after Harry came in.
Snape looked at Harry Potter naturally because this was the child of the person he loved the most and the person he hated the most. Snape was very conflicted and didn’t know what attitude to take towards this child.
If Harry was Harry, Li Xuan felt that this problem would be solved perfectly, and Harry would not have lived such a miserable life in the Dursleys’ house for so many years.
On the contrary, Li Xuan believed that this old bat, oh, that is, Snape, would definitely fight to the death with anyone who dared to do anything bad to Harry.
After all, sometimes Snape would be distracted when looking into Harry’s emerald green eyes that resembled Lily’s, not to mention that if Harry turned into Harry, he would probably feel like he was seeing Lily when she was a child every time he saw her.
As for Quirrell?
He was naturally paying attention to Harry Potter because of his master. To be honest, he was also very curious about how such a small guy like Harry Potter could defeat his master. You know, that master was the man who brought fear to the entire British wizarding world!
In the end, both men were defeated by Harry. Of course, this was not the first time they had met. The last time they met was in the Leaky Cauldron.
But he didn’t even dare to shake hands. He just looked at Hagrid briefly and then took him away.
This time, I have time to observe the other party slowly. Of course, the most important thing is to help my master get the treasure.
After looking at Snape and Quirrell, Li Xuan looked at Dumbledore who was sitting in the middle of the teachers’ seats. Who could have thought that the white-bearded old man in front of him would be the strongest in the entire English wizarding world?
Although the other person now has a kind face, white hair and white beard, he looks harmless, just like an ordinary old man.
However, the perceptive Li Xuan could sense the other party’s vast magic power. If anyone dared to underestimate Dumbledore, Li Xuan believed that he would definitely make the other party pay the price.
Chapter 51: The Sorting Hat’s Unexpected Misfortune (Additional update for 1,000 votes) (Old version)
“Students who hear your name, please come to the front. I will put the Sorting Hat on your head and determine the house you will go to.”
Although Li Xuan had just told the little wizards outside, those were Li Xuan’s words, so as a teacher, I naturally had to repeat them.
The young wizards had just heard Li Xuan talk about the Sorting Ceremony in the hallway, so they did not look at the Sorting Hat with fear as they did in the original timeline.
“Hannah Abbott!”
As the name that appears the most times and most frequently in all Hogwarts fan works, Li Xuan couldn’t help but look at it more closely.
Don’t get me wrong, Li Xuan is not interested in her, he just wants to see what the iron Hannah looks like.
She looks very ordinary, but this Hannah Abbott is from the Abbott family among the twenty-eight sacred clans, and she will not be bad in the future.
She is the future proprietress of the Leaky Cauldron and also the wife of the chubby Neville. I wonder what Neville would think if he knew that his future wife is Hannah.
“Gryffindor!”
The Sorting Hat quickly told the little girl the name of the college she was going to. She didn’t think it was inappropriate, but rather it was right, and happily ran to the Gryffindor table.
There was no need to worry that the other party would go to the wrong place, because Professor McGonagall had just told them the location of each college.
Time passed minute by minute, and the little wizards went up one by one to receive the assignment from the Sorting Hat.
“Draco Malfoy!”
When Draco heard Professor McGonagall calling his name, he hurried forward, took out the wand he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, and pointed it at the Sorting Hat before anyone could react.
“Clean it up!”
Everyone was stunned by Draco’s actions, except Li Xuan who was trying frantically to hold back his laughter. The next second, the entire auditorium suddenly exploded.
Especially the Weasley twins, Draco did what they had always wanted to do.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. She didn’t expect that there would really be a little wizard who would do this. However, she was a little happy in her heart, after all, she had to bear such a dirty hat every year.
It would have been fine if Li Xuan hadn’t said anything before, but as soon as he said it, she really felt a little disgusted. Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall couldn’t help but glance at Li Xuan, the real culprit.
Looking at the smile and the expression of watching a show on Li Xuan’s face, Professor McGonagall silently added another impression of Li Xuan: being dark and cunning, in addition to being smart and studious.
Finally, the commotion was calmed down by Dumbledore’s words. Of course, the Sorting Hat gave Draco Malfoy some “cordial” thanks and greetings.
Don’t ask why, in the eyes of the Sorting Hat, the tattered appearance and dirty marks are proof of history and signs of the passage of time.
Draco certainly didn’t mind, and he even stood up straight with his chest puffed out, because in his opinion he had become the most eye-catching person in the whole audience and stole the limelight.
Neither Harry Potter nor Li Xuan (I heard Hermione calling Li Xuan’s name in the hallway) could compare to me at this moment.
“Slytherin!”
Professor McGonagall’s Sorting Hat didn’t even touch Draco’s head when it started shouting. After all, there was no need to explain Draco’s Slytherin temperament.
Li Xuan knew who Draco’s godfather was, it was the head of Slytherin, our Professor Snape. In addition, Draco’s father and mother were both from Slytherin, so it was normal for him to be assigned to Slytherin.
“Harry Potter!”
When it came to Harry Potter, everyone involuntarily fell silent, wondering which house the young savior would be assigned to.
Only Li Xuan knew that this young savior had already been arranged by Dumbledore above him. Don’t even think about other colleges. Only Gryffindor is Harry Potter’s only home.
As expected, Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor, and the Weasley twins shouted happily, “We have Harry Potter!”
The Gryffindor students were cheering, although Harry didn’t know why they were so happy. Perhaps it was because of the title of savior that Ron had mentioned?
Harry found that since he entered the wizarding world, as long as others knew he was Harry Potter, he received special attention.
This was completely different from the treatment he had received at the Dursleys’ house before. Of course, Harry Potter was still a little confused, after all, he didn’t know why he was treated like this.
Ron still accompanied his little friend Harry Potter into Gryffindor, and Ron was very happy about it.
After all, his brothers were all in Gryffindor, and his good friend Harry Potter was also in Gryffindor. He even rejected the annoying Malfoy for him. Ron was very touched by this, after all, he was just a nobody at home.
As for Hermione, when it was her turn, the Sorting Hat hesitated for a long time, hesitating between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, and was finally sorted into Gryffindor.
Of course Hermione hoped that she could be in the same college as Li Xuan, but her ranking was lower than Li Xuan’s, so now she could only pray that Li Xuan would also be sorted into Gryffindor.
Of course, she felt that the possibility was not high. After all, Li Xuan’s erudition was very consistent with what he said about Ravenclaw. For a moment, the little girl began to feel depressed and was not as happy as other little wizards who were sorted into Gryffindor.
Chapter 52 The Final Destination (1/3) (Old Version)
“Li Xuan!”
After hearing Li Xuan’s name, all the first-year wizards looked over, including the one in Ravenclaw with a cold gaze.
The young wizards were all very curious about which college a person like Li Xuan would be assigned to, especially Hermione, who clenched her hands into fists nervously.
Among her friends who came to Hogwarts to teach, Neville was admitted to Gryffindor just like her. Naturally, she hoped that Li Xuan could also be admitted to Gryffindor so that she could get along with Li Xuan more often.
Don’t think too much. The little girl simply decided that she would be very comfortable getting along with Li Xuan. Li Xuan was not like other people who were annoyed with her or decided that he was annoying.
The cleaned Sorting Hat was put on Li Xuan’s head by Professor McGonagall. The Sorting Hat frowned its eyebrow-like wrinkles and spoke in a troubled tone.
“It’s not easy, this is really too difficult!”
Listening to the Sorting Hat’s words, Li Xuan didn’t say anything. If he hadn’t slightly released the protection of the Innate Five Elements Spirit Tower, it would have been impossible for the Sorting Hat to sense him through Legilimency.
“It can be seen that you are very ambitious, very proactive, and have leadership qualities and abilities. Slytherin is a good choice.
But you are not against courage and bravery, so the lion-like Gryffindor is also suitable for you.
At the same time, you will also focus on those groups that need help, and you are very popular among animals. Logically speaking, the little badger Hufflepuff is also possible.
And you are knowledgeable, talented, and like to learn new knowledge and try new things, so it is right to assign you to Ravenclaw.”
The entire auditorium was silent, and all the teachers and students were listening to the Sorting Hat’s evaluation of Li Xuan. After all, to receive such an evaluation from the Sorting Hat was higher than the evaluation from the previous savior Harry Potter!
Li Xuan naturally knew that the Sorting Hat was not talking nonsense. On the contrary, his evaluation was very correct. He was ambitious, had leadership qualities, was proactive, talented, and courageous. Sometimes he would do things that seemed very dangerous and reckless to others, such as the dragon incident at Gringotts.
As for being popular among the magical creatures and being knowledgeable, needless to say?
Dumbledore looked at the little wizard below him. It seemed that the last time he received such an evaluation from the Sorting Hat, it was still that man.
No, to be precise, she is even more powerful than that man. You have to know that the other party only possesses the qualities of three colleges. Very few people can possess the qualities of four colleges at the same time. After all, to some extent, the characteristics of Hufflepuff are somewhat in conflict with the other three colleges and are incompatible.
For a moment, Dumbledore silently labeled Li Xuan as a person of special attention in his heart. If he was also sorted into Slytherin, then he would not just be a person of special attention.
“Which of the four colleges do you want to go to the most?”
Li Xuan was not surprised to hear the Sorting Hat’s question. After all, when the Sorting Hat sorts the young wizards into different houses, the first thing it looks at is their personality to see which house they are suitable for.
If there are multiple choices, it depends on which college the little wizards prefer and what they think and choose.
If the little wizard doesn’t have a favorite, he will choose the one that has a higher proportion in his personality.
“I’m fine with either. I’ll go to the academy you think is best for me.”
Li Xuan didn’t have too many thoughts about which college to go to. After all, with his current strength, he would be able to do well in any college.
What’s with Slytherin not being able to go? Muggle wizards will be bullied if they go there?
I’m sorry, if anyone really dares to attack Li Xuan, Li Xuan will definitely let him know how the Ulank Iron-Belly Fire Dragon hunts its prey!
So let the Sorting Hat decide which college you will go to. At this moment, I feel a bit like opening a blind box and drawing a prize.
At the same time, it was also to avoid making the deans of other colleges feel uncomfortable. After all, if he chose one, he would naturally feel that the other three colleges were not as good. Li Xuan would not let there be any rift in his relationship with the deans from the beginning.
It may be that Li Xuan was overthinking it, but as a good student in his previous life, Li Xuan had gained a lot of benefits from having a good relationship with his teacher.
“In that case, Ravenclaw!!!”
Upon hearing that Li Xuan was finally assigned to Ravenclaw, the little wizards of Ravenclaw cheered happily. Although Gryffindor has Harry Potter, we also have Li Xuan!
When Hermione and Neville saw that Li Xuan was sorted into Ravenclaw, they both became a little depressed. After all, after spending most of the day together, they both liked the existence of Li Xuan, or having Li Xuan as their “big brother” who protected them.
Li Xuan sat down on the Ravenclaw bench and politely thanked the young Ravenclaw wizards who welcomed him.
Professor Flitwick, the head of Ravenclaw, was also very happy. Since the first time he met Li Xuan, he felt that such a studious little wizard must belong to Ravenclaw.
However, the Sorting Ceremony had not yet been held at that time. Even though it looked like the Sorting Ceremony on the surface, in reality many young wizards were sorted into houses that others thought did not suit their personalities.
Chapter 53: Silver-haired Senior (2/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan sat down and took a quick look at the four colleges. He didn’t notice it when he was standing there just now, but now that he sat down, he realized that Ravenclaw had the second to last number of students.
The house with the largest number of people is naturally Hufflepuff, followed by Gryffindor, then Ravenclaw, and finally Slytherin. After all, there are relatively few pure-blood wizards in the wizarding world, and not all young pure-blood wizards are assigned to Slytherin, so it is normal to have a small number of people.
In Ravenclaw, the male to female ratio is four to one, no, five to one. Of course, most of the studious Ravenclaws are girls. Even at the end of the sorting ceremony, Li Xuan discovered that he was the only boy in Ravenclaw this year!
But seeing that the other seniors didn’t seem surprised at all, Li Xuan didn’t say much. Perhaps this was the norm for Ravenclaw.
Ding Ding Ding
“Please pay attention”
Professor McGonagall tapped the glass on the table with a spoon to quiet the little wizards.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Dumbledore stood up again and said, “The banquet begins now!”
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, countless foods suddenly appeared on the four long tables, which really opened the eyes of the young wizards who saw it for the first time.
Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, steak, chicken legs and other kinds of meat. Hogwarts is impeccable when it comes to meat.
Others include boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, and potato chips. Wow, this is specifically for potatoes, right?
It seems that there is no staple food. Li Xuan, who usually eats rice, is a little uncomfortable. Forget it, just treat it as barbecue.
Fortunately, there are vegetables such as boiled corn, pea sprouts, carrots, roasted pumpkin, and tomato sauce. It has to be said that the food at Hogwarts is basically high in sugar, protein, and calories.
It seems that there are very few fresh fruits and vegetables. Even though they eat like this every day, the little wizards have not become fat. It seems that this may also be magic!
Li Xuan looked at the food on the table and felt hungry too. It should be said that everyone was hungry at this time, so everyone started eating and drinking.
Lamb chops, steak, pork chops, pork, beef and mutton were arranged, and there was also a roasted chicken leg and a portion of mashed potatoes as the staple food. It would be easy to get hungry without carbohydrates. As for the roasted and boiled potatoes, it would be too much, and Li Xuan had to peel them himself.
As a qualified Donghuang person, the combination of meat and vegetables is engraved in the soul. Even if there is only a single vegetable seedling, it counts. This is the last stubbornness of the Donghuang people!
I put some pea sprouts, a piece of corn, and some boiled carrot slices on my plate. When I was about to start eating, I noticed pumpkin juice and orange juice on the table not far away.
Of course, eating such greasy food should be paired with refreshing and sweet orange juice. Although pumpkin juice is also good, the sweet and sticky pumpkin juice is not suitable for consumption at this time.
Unfortunately, both the pumpkin juice and the orange juice were some distance away from Li Xuan. Just when Li Xuan was about to get up or ask others for help, suddenly a white and slender hand picked up the orange juice, and the other hand took the cup and poured a glass.
Seeing someone took it, Li Xuan was not in a hurry for the time being and waited for the other party to pour it. Unexpectedly, the next moment the orange juice was handed to him.
“Here you go, Junior Brother Li Xuan!”
Li Xuan looked up and saw, wow, what a beautiful senior sister! It turns out that there is such a beautiful senior sister in Ravenclaw?
Not only does she have a beautiful appearance but also a queen-like temperament, and her intellectual temperament, she is definitely the type that Li Xuan likes!
“Thank you, Senior!”
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal. After all, in his previous life, in the information age, he had seen many beauties while watching videos on his mobile phone, but they were all strictly trained.
Of course, the beauties with beauty filters cannot compare to this kind of natural beauty, but it has increased Li Xuan’s resistance a lot.
As for how the other party knew my name, anyone who was not deaf could have heard Professor McGonagall’s voice just now.
As for how Li Xuan knew that she was a senior, that was nonsense. He had seen all the new little wizards before, and there was no little wizard so tall and with such a big face.
What’s more, her curvy figure doesn’t seem like a figure for someone of her age at all.
“Penelope Clearwater, a fifth-year Ravenclaw student and one of the prefects of Ravenclaw.”
The senior, Penelope, took the initiative to introduce herself. This was not the first time she and Li Xuan had met. Do you remember the silver-haired senior on the Hogwarts Express today? That was Penelope.
“Li Xuan, I don’t need to introduce myself any further.”
Li Xuan shrugged, which made Penelope laugh. His expression and humorous tone were really interesting.
Hermione, who was eating because of hunger, looked up and saw Li Xuan suddenly chatting with a beautiful senior schoolmate. In an instant, she suddenly felt that the steak in front of her was not fragrant or delicious!
Chapter 54: Meals at Hogwarts (3/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan chatted with Penelope for a few words and didn’t say anything more. After all, there is a time limit for eating. After sitting on the train for a whole day, both of them were hungry. It was important to eat quickly, otherwise they would be leaving soon.
What’s more, it was just the first day they met, so neither Li Xuan nor Penelope talked much.
The former would naturally not turn into a bootlicker just because Penelope is pretty, and Penelope’s cold personality also meant that she would not be a talkative person. If Li Xuan’s performance today had not caught her attention, she might not have taken the initiative to talk to Li Xuan.
Of course, neither of them thinks there is anything wrong with this way of getting along. On the contrary, both of them feel that this way of getting along is very comfortable.
Especially Penelope, at least she felt very happy and joyful after talking with Li Xuan just now, at least she felt more comfortable and at ease than with a certain red-head from Gryffindor next door.
The guy from the next door college is really annoying. He doesn’t know the limits and doesn’t know when to advance or retreat. I’m talking about him.
So just now in Gryffindor, in addition to Hermione noticing the conversation between Li Xuan and Penelope, Percy who was sitting next to her also saw it.
He had been hungry for the whole day, but after Dumbledore gave the order to start the banquet, he began to eat heartily. Although he was not as fast as Ron, he was not slow either. There was no other way. The food in Hogwarts was much better than that at home. He really missed it after not eating it for a whole holiday.
Not only the variety, but also the taste is far better. Although it may feel unfair to my mother to say this, it is true.
He was eating when he suddenly noticed that the first-year girl sitting next to him suddenly stopped talking and put down the knife and fork in her hand. He thought something had happened. As the head of Gryffindor, it was his duty to help his younger classmates.
As a result, when he followed Hermione’s gaze, Hermione shook her head and didn’t take it seriously and continued eating. After all, the other party was just talking to a senior student. Although that senior student was very pretty, there was a big age difference between them.
Hermione figured it out, but Percy couldn’t. The fragrant, tender and juicy steak no longer smelled good, and the sweet pumpkin juice no longer tasted good. Only Percy’s hurt world was reached.
But no one else noticed, maybe Penelope noticed?
But even if he knew, she wouldn’t care since she deliberately turned her back to Percy. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have deliberately turned her back to Percy when she was looking for a position at the beginning.
Li Xuan didn’t look at the distraught Percy over there, but was concentrating on enjoying the food. It’s true, although there were not many choices on the Hogwarts table, each one was good.
The steaks were tender and juicy, and the seasoning was just right. Paired with the sweet and sour tomato sauce, Li Xuan couldn’t help but take one more bite of the meat.
Li Xuan had practiced eating fast in the school cafeteria when he was in school, so he didn’t eat very slowly, but his eating manners were very good. Not very elegant, but not in a messy way either.
Li Xuan would always eat some vegetables at the end of his meal and then drink something, so when he had almost finished eating, he picked up the orange juice and started drinking it sip by sip.
After eating, Li Xuan looked around and only then realized that there was actually a staple food, which was toast, but it was a little far away from him and he didn’t notice it at first.
But now I’m full, and I don’t feel as unhappy as I did at the beginning when I found out there was no staple food.
But in addition to toast, Li Xuan also found a plate of fresh fruit. After asking a senior sister with freckles to help him get a bunch of grapes, Li Xuan started eating the grapes.
As for why Li Xuan ate so fast, it was because he knew there would be another ‘extra show’ in a while, and that was the appearance of the ghosts of Hogwarts!
Each house has its representative ghost, Nicholas from Gryffindor, the Fat Friar from Hufflepuff, the Bloody Baron from Slytherin, and the Grey Lady from Ravenclaw.
Li Xuan ignored the ghosts of other colleges and looked at the ghost of his own college, Ms. Grey, or Helena Ravenclaw.
That’s right, the ghost who goes by the alias Ms. Grey is actually the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw. Most people don’t know this inside story, but Li Xuan, as a time traveler, knows it very well.
As for why she didn’t use her original name, and why she ended up like this when she was the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, that’s a story for later.
Ms. Grey was a beautiful and tall woman with waist-length hair and a long robe. It was her. There was always a hint of sadness on her face, which reminded Li Xuan of a certain Lin Daiyu.
Li Xuan reviewed his knowledge about ghosts. They were free, three-dimensional and transparent. They were the marks left by dead wizards and witches in the real world. They could continue to speak and walk.
However, few wizards choose to become ghosts, because the first thing a wizard needs to do to become a ghost is to be afraid of death. According to Li Xuan, that means he is obsessed with something.
Secondly, becoming a ghost is not as good as outsiders imagine, a way to achieve immortality. If becoming a ghost really means immortality, then every wizard will choose to become a ghost when they die.
Because after becoming a ghost, they cannot enjoy or touch anything, and their cognition will always remain at the time when they were alive. This is the poorest way of life.
So few wizards choose to become ghosts. For example, after Sirius died, when Harry asked Sir Nicholas whether Sirius could become a ghost, the answer he got was no.
Chapter 55 Ravenclaw’s Accommodation (1/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan observed that ghosts were basically translucent pearly white, and could basically penetrate all undefended substances, including walls, food and even human bodies.
However, ghosts cannot harm people, and the magical world has not yet discovered what abilities ghosts have. They can cause certain troubles to natural substances such as water, fire, and air.
For example, when Li Xuan just noticed that a ghost passed through the candle, the candle flame was constantly flickering.
There are also characters like Moaning Myrtle who can flood the bathroom, and Sir Nicholas who can be moved by the wind from a fan after a certain time.
Li Xuan was not going to conduct an in-depth study on ghosts. He just wrote down the information he found about ghosts.
What we should really study in depth are magical animals and magic.
More than half an hour later, when everyone had almost finished eating, Dumbledore clapped his hands again, and the food on the table disappeared. The next second, countless desserts appeared on the table.
Apple pie, treacle pie, chocolate trifle, fried jam doughnuts, wine jam pudding, strawberry jelly, rice pudding and mint candy.
Li Xuan didn’t know why the mint hard candy from the technological world would appear on the dining table of the magic school Hogwarts. Perhaps an old bee wanted to share his favorite candy with the teachers and students?
Li Xuan was not interested in mint candies, but was more interested in the desserts at Hogwarts. Perhaps the house-elves knew that the little wizards had eaten quite a lot before, so in order to avoid waste, the portions of these desserts were mini.
If you can’t finish one, just take more. At least this way it won’t cause too much waste. The most worrying thing is that the little wizards have big eyes and small stomachs, and don’t know the limits. They want to eat this and that, and in the end, nothing is finished.
So looking at the small-portioned desserts, Li Xuan tried them all. After all, as a qualified young man who cares about health, he stayed up the longest and brewed the strongest wolfberry tea.
So I usually eat dinner until I’m 80% full, but when I see these desserts, I still have room for food, so I eat more. After all, I’m still young, so it’s okay to indulge myself from time to time!
Penelope on the side has been in Hogwarts for four years, and this year is the fifth year. She has basically tried all the food in Hogwarts. The recipes in Hogwarts change very little, so she is not as curious about every food as Li Xuan.
So she just drank pumpkin juice and watched the boy next to her exploring. She found it very interesting, and she didn’t even know why, but seeing Li Xuan eating so happily, she was also very happy. She even felt that the dessert that she had become a little tired of had a different glow and seemed to be delicious.
It’s just that I ate a lot at the beginning and was quite full. Although I wasn’t very full, I would usually leave a full cup of pumpkin juice for the end. After all, she never got tired of drinking the sweet and sticky pumpkin juice.
Basically, after drinking this cup of pumpkin juice, she was really full, but seeing that Li Xuan had a special liking for strawberry jelly, she also ate one. She didn’t think this strawberry jelly was so delicious before, but today she felt that it was sour and sweet, and seemed good.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the first-year students followed the prefects of each college to the common room, while the senior students made their own arrangements.
Hufflepuff’s basement, Slytherin’s dungeon and the common rooms of both houses are all underground, while Gryffindor and Ravenclaw’s dormitories and common rooms are in the tower.
Li Xuan followed the prefects to the Ravenclaw Tower. There was a bronze eagle door knocker at the entrance of the tower, and one had to solve a puzzle to get in.
Entering the Ravenclaw common room, it is a large round room. I have to say, the Ravenclaw common room is extremely dreamy.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing you see is the white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, because this statue is facing the door of the common room.
There were many stars painted on the dome of the lounge, and blue and bronze silk curtains were hung on the arched windows. If it were not night, Li Xuan could imagine that he could fully appreciate the surrounding mountain scenery through the windows.
The floor of Ravenclaw’s common room is also covered with dark blue carpet. The common room is fully equipped with various facilities, including tables, chairs and bookcases.
It can be said that the main color of Ravenclaw is blue. Blue is good, and Li Xuan’s favorite color is also blue.
Because Li Xuan is the only boy in Ravenclaw this year, he is very honored to be assigned a dormitory all by himself, which makes him very happy.
Because this dormitory has basically not changed, and there are not many Ravenclaw students, there are basically vacancies in the student dormitories.
Therefore, even if Ravenclaw has new students in the future, they will not let students from two adjacent grades live together like Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.
Of course, considering that there are certain differences between the two grades, we try to arrange students of the same grade in the same dormitory as much as possible, unless there are really not enough dormitories.
Li Xuan felt that being assigned to Ravenclaw seemed to be a good idea. First of all, the accommodation was better than in other colleges. Especially for someone like him who had secrets, it was most convenient to live alone.
Chapter 56: Free Dormitory (2/3) (Old Version)
Li Xuan looked around and saw that there were four large beds in his dormitory, all draped with dark blue curtains. The rest of the facilities, such as tables and wardrobes, were all ready. Of course, more importantly, there were separate toilets and bathrooms.
Li Xuan, who was a southerner in his previous life, could not accept the hospitality of a big bathhouse. He was mentally prepared that if there was no independent bathroom, he would go back to the villa in the small world.
The house-elves had already helped deliver the luggage to the dormitory. Li Xuan took out all the things in the suitcase and put what should be put in the closet in the closet and what should be put on the table in the table.
Li Xuan also took out a record player from the small world. Li Xuan, who traveled back from the big information age, attached great importance to the enjoyment of life.
In this age without the Internet and smartphones, in the technological world you can still listen to the radio and watch TV, but that is not possible in Hogwarts.
Don’t say that you are bored and just read a book. You read in class, read after class, and even read when you return to the dormitory. This way, you will easily become a very boring person.
So he put a lot of entertainment facilities in the warehouse of the small world. Will they be confiscated?
Professors generally do not inspect students’ personal dormitories, and it is not a big deal.
Listening to the music on the record player, the originally quiet dormitory became more lively.
Li Xuan doesn’t like living with too many people, but he doesn’t want to be alone either. Just like in his previous life, when he was working and renting a house, he would turn on his computer and listen to music even if he was lying on the bed playing with his phone or reading novels.
It’s like turning on the TV at home and playing with your phone instead of watching it. You’re obviously not watching it, but you can’t turn it off. Once you turn it off, you feel like something is wrong.
Even in his previous life, Li Xuan would always bring his cell phone in to play music when taking a bath. He was the bathroom singing god.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that singing in the shower feels more emotional and sounds better. Maybe it’s a psychological effect?
After taking a shower, Li Xuan entered the small world again to take a look at the magical animals. The other magical animals were fine, but he mainly looked at the Ulank Iron-bellied Dragon. After all, this guy was still recuperating and had not fully recovered.
However, Li Xuan was just doing his daily patrol and observation. In the small world, the fire dragon lived a very comfortable life.
In order to satisfy this big eater, Li Xuan bought a lot of large poultry and large fish fry.
Of course, Li Xuan also told the fire dragon not to be so picky about food, and that he could also eat rabbits and pheasants that reproduced very quickly, as well as the fish in the lively place.
In addition, a fire dragon can go at least three or four days without eating after eating once, so there is enough food in the small world.
So after a brief inspection and taking some things from the small world warehouse, Li Xuan came out with a bird-snake.
This bird snake is the waiter. When Li Xuan takes a rest outside, he will let the five bird snakes take turns to come out to help keep watch, so they are very clear and skilled.
But there is no need for that at No. 8 Privet Drive, because Li Xuan has already set up a lot of formations and methods there.
For a dormitory like his own, since he had just arrived and it was part of Hogwarts, even if Li Xuan had time to set up some measures later, it would not be too excessive. After all, in Hogwarts, Dumbledore had too many means and authority.
Also, why was he so nervous in the dormitory? Was he worried about Hogwarts, or did he have some bad thoughts or actions that he was afraid of being discovered?
Moreover, the house-elves come back to help clean the dormitory when the little wizards are in class, so Li Xuan cannot use a device that is always on.
Li Xuan would naturally not leave such a handle, and under Li Xuan’s teachings and the infusion of the small world’s spiritual energy, the strength of the bird snakes is not simple.
If you treat them as ordinary bird snakes, you will definitely be in big trouble!
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Li Xuan completely relaxed his vigilance. Although the Ravenclaw dormitory is not as open to the public as the Gryffindor dormitory, Li Xuan still has the necessary vigilance.
Think about Harry Potter and his roommates’ dormitory. The mouse named Scabbers was actually Peter Pettigrew. Imagine a short, middle-aged, ugly man living in the same dormitory with you and watching you every night. The thought is chilling.
In the future, Sirius also came to Harry’s dormitory after escaping from Azkaban. Just imagine waking up in the middle of the night and finding someone standing at the head of your bed, staring at you. How terrifying that would be!
Of course, Li Xuan also took out an alarm clock and set the time, otherwise it would be funny if he couldn’t get up and was late tomorrow.
For example, the reason why Ron and Harry were late was of course because there was no alarm clock to remind them. Of course, every dormitory had a wall clock.
In fact, it is only a little after ten o’clock now. In his previous life, it might be the time when Li Xuan’s nightlife has just begun, and he would not fall asleep until one or two o’clock.
Going to bed after ten o’clock may be because I was forced to sleep by my parents when I was in elementary school.
However, after coming to the world of Hogwarts, Li Xuan’s daily routine has been adjusted well. Now he goes to bed early and gets up early to exercise.
Li Xuan set the alarm clock to get up at 6:30 tomorrow morning. Getting up so early is naturally to exercise. Sleeping from 10:30 to 6:30 is enough for eight hours. Perfect!
Chapter 57: An Encounter in the Morning (3/3) (Old Version)
“Ring, ring, ring!”
The next day, Li Xuan woke up at the sound of the alarm clock. After putting the bird-snake back into his small world, he brushed his teeth and left the dormitory, planning to go for a run. Running for half an hour would be enough.
Li Xuan was not wearing a wizard robe. After all, he was going to run soon, so he might as well wear sportswear. He was not afraid of being different. After all, the little wizards were not required to wear wizard robes all the time.
Generally, everyone will change into casual clothes after returning to the common rooms of each college. They can also wear casual clothes when they don’t have classes. Only when they are in class is there a requirement to wear uniform clothes.
This is what Penelope told Li Xuan on the way back last night, some little knowledge about college life.
This reminded Li Xuan of the school rules when he was in junior high school in his previous life, which were similar in meaning.
Otherwise, you can just have two sets of wizard costumes and wear them every day without having to wash them?
Although there is no need to worry about this problem when there is magic, wearing such clothes all the time is unbearable for boys, not to mention girls.
After leaving the dormitory, Li Xuan thought that there would be no one in the common room at this time, but he found that there were already several seniors studying there with books.
As expected, Ravenclaw is the most introverted academy. If it were Gryffindor, let alone getting up at this time to study, it would be very good to be able to get up on time to eat breakfast and go to class.
Everyone was quiet and no one spoke. The seniors naturally noticed that the freshman Li Xuan got up early in the morning, but when they saw him in his sportswear, they knew what he was going to do, so they nodded to Li Xuan and continued to study hard.
Li Xuan really likes this kind of socializing. There aren’t too many words, and it’s as plain as water. It really was a good decision for him to come to Ravenclaw!
The Black Lake is located on the south side of the castle. It has started to get cold in England in September, which makes Li Xuan, who lived in the south in his previous life and had to wear short sleeves in September, very uncomfortable.
There are layers of mist on the surface of the Black Lake, making the water look black, which is the origin of the name Black Lake.
The surface of the Black Lake in this world has not yet frozen, so Li Xuan can see from a distance the tentacles of the giant squid emerging from the water and stirring up ripples.
After running a few laps along the Black Lake, in such cold weather, white steam could be seen coming out of Li Xuan’s head with the naked eye. After walking another lap, the time was almost up, and the sky, which was originally a little dim, was becoming brighter and brighter.
Li Xuan, sweating all over, walked back to the dormitory. At this time, there were more people in the Ravenclaw common room than at the beginning. However, Li Xuan was in a hurry to go back to take a shower and change clothes, so he didn’t notice that Penelope was also there.
However, Penelope did see Li Xuan. Seeing Li Xuan’s expression, she didn’t say anything, but just kept it in mind.
“Comfortable!”
Fortunately, hot water is available 24 hours a day at Hogwarts. It is so comfortable to take a hot bath after exercising in the cold weather!
After changing his clothes, Li Xuan walked towards the auditorium, because he would have breakfast, lunch and dinner here.
Yesterday was Saturday, today is Sunday, and classes will start tomorrow. In addition, breakfast in the auditorium is also the time when owls deliver mail and packages, so many little wizards look forward to breakfast time.
Li Xuan came to the auditorium. Generally speaking, students from each college eat at the long table of their own college. It was still early at this time, so there were not many people in the auditorium.
“Good morning, Senior!”
So Li Xuan naturally saw the cool and beautiful Penelope, and sat down beside her confidently.
“morning!”
Penelope, who was tearing toast into small pieces and eating it in small bites, greeted Li Xuan. It was almost eight o’clock, so Penelope didn’t stay in the common room any longer. The academy’s breakfast was only served until nine o’clock at most, so you’d have to go hungry after that time.
Li Xuan looked at the table and saw oatmeal, bread rolls, orange juice, pickled fish, eggs and bacon, toast, and corn flakes.
Well, very English, but still no green at all. Where do the vitamins come from? It seems I can only rely on my old friend orange juice.
First I got myself a bowl of cereal, then bacon, eggs, a small piece of kipper, and a piece of toast with jam. That was my breakfast for today.
No, to be precise, maybe this will be my breakfast for the next week?
Li Xuan felt that it was time to prepare the cafeteria in his dormitory. Otherwise, he might really get angry if he had to eat the same unchanging menu of the house-elves every day.
Penelope looked at Li Xuan’s plate and could only say that boys have good appetites. For her, a bowl of oatmeal porridge and a piece of bread were enough.
“Junior, do you have the habit of doing morning exercises every morning?”
Li Xuan, who was drinking porridge, heard Penelope’s words and naturally understood that he was seen by her when he went out for morning exercise this morning. He saw her when he went out, and Penelope should not have gotten up yet, so it should be time for her to come back.
“Yes, I have always had the habit of morning exercise. Morning exercise not only makes the body healthy, but also makes people energetic throughout the day.”
“I see…”
With Penelope by my side, time passed quickly as we ate and chatted.
Chapter 58: First Day at Hogwarts (1/3) (Old Version)
After breakfast, Li Xuan returned to the dormitory. Penelope was going to the library. Originally, she invited Li Xuan to go with her, but Li Xuan wanted to see if the class schedule was out. After all, he was very interested in the course arrangement. Therefore, he had to regretfully reject Penelope’s invitation.
When Li Xuan returned to the dormitory, he saw a class schedule on the table.
Li Xuan picked it up and took a look. There were eight courses in total: Herbology, Charms, Transfiguration, Flying, Potions, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Astronomy.
The first five subjects were taken with Hufflepuff, while History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts were large classes with students from four houses taking them together, and Astronomy was taken with Gryffindor.
The class with the most classes is Herbology, which has four classes a week. Then there is Transfiguration, which has three classes. Charms, Potions, Flying, and History of Magic each have two classes. Astronomy and Defense Against the Dark Arts each have one class. There are a total of seventeen classes a week, which is not too many.
At Li Xuan’s current age, in the technological world, that would be like being in junior high school, and seventeen classes a week are not many.
Li Xuan could only enjoy classes like this once a week when he was in college.
Whether it is junior high school or high school, there are classes all day long. From getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, classes and studying are something that runs throughout the day.
Thinking about it now, I still admire myself at that time. I had five classes in the morning, three classes in the afternoon, and three classes in the evening, a total of eleven classes a day.
A week’s worth of courses at Hogwarts is equivalent to two days’ worth of courses in the technological world.
Li Xuan took a look and found that tomorrow, Monday, was a full morning schedule with two major classes on herbology. Unexpectedly, the first class on the first morning would be Professor Sprout’s herbology class.
In the afternoon, there is a History of Magic class in the second period, which is attended by all four houses.
By the way, I forgot to mention the class schedule at Hogwarts. There are two major classes in the morning, from 8:30 to 10:00 and from 10:30 to 12:00. Each class lasts for one and a half hours.
In the afternoon, the classes are from 2:00 to 3:30 and from 4:00 to 5:30, with a half-hour break and time to change classrooms in between. After all, classes at Hogwarts are a bit like those at Li Xuan University, where the classrooms are fixed and students have to go to different classrooms according to the courses.
There is only one class in the evening, which starts at 7 o’clock and ends at 8:30, and then there is curfew from 11 o’clock in the evening to 6 o’clock in the morning.
Li Xuan didn’t say anything about the course time design at Hogwarts, saying that one and a half hours was too long, but there was nothing he could do. After all, teaching magic was different from teaching in the technological world.
The most important thing in magic teaching is practice, so generally two-thirds of a class time is given to young wizards to practice, and the remaining one-third is for learning theoretical knowledge.
Of course, there is nothing to say about pure theory like History of Magic, but other courses, such as Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, etc., all require hands-on practice, it’s just a matter of how long it takes.
Since there is an herbal medicine class tomorrow, it would be better to do some preparation today. Li Xuan has always had this habit in his previous life. He prefers to be prepared.
Li Xuan initially thought that the textbook of herbology was “One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi” by Philidas Ball, but later he found out that this was an auxiliary textbook for Snape’s Alchemy.
To be precise, it seems that there is no textbook on herbology, so Li Xuan laid out all the books he had bought and matched them one by one.
“The Standard Book of Spells, Elementary” and “Magic Theory” are textbooks on spells. “History of Magic” goes without saying, and “Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration” is a textbook on Transfiguration.
“Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense” is the textbook for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, while “Magical Pharmacy and Potions” and the previous “One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi” are the textbooks for Potions.
As for the book “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, it is actually “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. Li Xuan has not yet found out which course it corresponds to. This should be the teaching material for the elective course “Protection of Fantastic Creatures” starting from the third academic year, right?
Forget it, ignore it. I don’t know why there is no textbook on herbal medicine. It seems that it is purely hands-on. Or maybe the book “One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi” is the textbook?
There was nothing to do, so Li Xuan simply picked up the book and started reading. This book mainly introduced thousands of different herbs and mushrooms in the magical world, and was also an important reference guide for the ingredients of plant-based potions.
Li Xuan was immediately fascinated by all kinds of magical and strange plants, and only realized that it was already noon when his stomach growled with hunger.
After having lunch in the auditorium, Li Xuan happened to meet Penelope. After asking her, he realized that he had guessed wrong. “One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi” is an auxiliary textbook for Alchemy and also a textbook for Herbology. Well, at least he won’t suffer any loss.
After taking a nap, Li Xuan continued reading the book. In the evening, he went out for dinner as usual and met Neville and Hermione. The three of them ate and chatted together.
Knowing that Li Xuan was preparing for tomorrow’s lessons, Hermione seemed to be stimulated and said that she should not go to the library today and should do like Li Xuan.
Neville also wanted to learn from Li Xuan, but he forgot about it after he returned to the dormitory and saw Ron and Harry playing wizard chess and was pulled over. There was nothing he could do about it. It was the aftereffects that made it easy to forget things.
Li Xuan didn’t know what his two ‘little friends’ were thinking. After dinner, he returned to the dormitory, took a shower and continued reading. It was not until after eight o’clock that Li Xuan finished the book.
It’s not that the book is very thick, but Li Xuan’s completion of reading it is not like that of ordinary people. The fact that Li Xuan has finished reading it means that he has memorized all the contents of the book.
There was no way. After Li Xuan traveled through time, his memory improved greatly. Although it was not to the level of photographic memory, he could really remember it by reading it silently for a while after reading it several times.
In this way, Li Xuan spent his first day at Hogwarts studying…
Chapter 59: New Fire Dragon (2/3) (Old Version)
The next morning, I woke up at 6:30 again, brushed my teeth, washed my face, did some jogging, took a shower, then put on my wizard robe and went to the auditorium. Today was Monday, and classes were about to start, so breakfast was very important.
When they arrived at the auditorium, Penelope was still sitting in the same seat as yesterday. Li Xuan also sat next to her like he did yesterday, and the two of them chatted casually.
Although the two had just met each other and were several years apart in age, Penelope and Li Xuan felt very comfortable talking to each other.
He even felt that it was not that he was a few years older than Li Xuan, but that Li Xuan was a few years older than him.
Just as Li Xuan was chatting with Penelope, countless owls flew in, with mail or packages in their claws. Li Xuan’s Snowy Owl was among them, but it did not throw the mail or packages down directly like other owls, but slowly landed in front of Li Xuan.
It is not as rude as other owls and is much more sensible than other owls. When other owls fall down, it is a disaster and makes a mess.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Li Xuan was also full. He touched the Snow Owl standing in front of him and took the Daily Prophet from its claws.
“Li Xuan, is this your owl? It’s so beautiful, just like an elf in the snow!”
Li Xuan nodded and put his hands deep into his pockets, actually just to cover up. He took out some dried meat specially made for Snow Owl from the small world warehouse and handed it to Penelope.
“Penelope, please help me feed it. As long as you don’t have any ill intentions towards it, it’s easy to get along with!”
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Penelope took the dried meat handed over by Li Xuan, tore it into small pieces and was about to feed the snowy owl.
The snow owl first tilted its head and asked Li Xuan, which made Penelope and her roommates so cute. Li Xuan touched the snow owl’s head and told it that it was okay, and then it walked over and ate the jerky that Penelope handed over.
Li Xuan’s snowy owl is more beautiful and stronger than when he first bought it, and even its body size has increased. Among the owls that just flew in, Li Xuan’s snowy owl is the most eye-catching in terms of appearance and size.
As for why Li Xuan called Penelope’s name, it was Penelope’s own request. Because in their conversations with Li Xuan, his speech and manner were much more mature and steady than hers, and it felt weird for him to call her senior sister. So she stopped calling Li junior brother and just called him by his name.
Li Xuan had no objection to this. After all, calling the other person by their name would blur the age difference, which was very beneficial for Li Xuan and made it easier for him to realize some of his future plans.
Ignoring Xue Xiao and Penelope, Li Xuan opened the Daily Prophet in his hand. Sure enough, the headline was about the theft at Gringotts. After all, there was quite a stir that day.
As for why it took so long for the Daily Prophet to report this, we can only say that a certain minister and the goblins of Gringotts worked together to suppress it.
The reason we are reporting now is that some things have been handled properly and can be reported.
Looking at the newspaper, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, told reporters with a firm face that the thief had been caught, and the goblin supervisor who was speaking for him.
According to the two people, although Gringotts had reported the theft, due to the daily joint supervision of the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, the criminal was caught before he even entered Gringotts.
So nothing was lost in Gringotts at all, and Gringotts is still the Gringotts that everyone can trust.
Moreover, Gringotts’ most powerful protective measure is the giant dragon in the vault. In the face of the dragon’s flames, no wizard thief can succeed, and no one can escape the dragon’s pursuit and fangs!
In the accompanying picture, a ferocious and spirited Peruvian Venomous Dragon is staring at the people in front of it.
Li Xuan had not expected that just after he was taken away by Ulank Tiedupi, the goblins brought in another Peruvian Venomous Tooth Dragon, and it was a healthy Venomous Tooth Dragon in its prime. The goblins were really capable!
Of course, this time the goblins were so anxious and eager to find someone to buy a venomous dragon, so they naturally stretched out their necks and told the other party to come and kill them!
They are often exploited by these goblins, so these people have new and old grudges together and tell the goblins the price that will hurt. However, no matter what the price is, the goblins will feel the pain. It’s just their nature.
This is also because the other party is too expensive, so they did not choose the more powerful and aggressive Hectic Black Dragon, but chose the Peruvian Venomfang Dragon, and even called it specially selecting the Peruvian Venomfang Dragon.
Because of its small size, it is easier to guard the vault and chase down enemies, and it has both fire and venom attacks.
All we can say is that the goblins are getting better and better at telling lies with their eyes open, but most wizards naturally believe their lies. Only those who guessed the truth or knew the truth would laugh with disdain.
However, neither Li Xuan nor the fire dragon seller planned to tell the goblins about it and slap them in the face. After all, it would be a thankless task.
Whether it is Li Xuan or the fire dragon seller, they can be said to be the only two beneficiaries of this incident, so it is most appropriate for them to make a fortune in silence.
Of course, there were wizards who had seen the Ulank Iron-Belly Fire Dragon tied up in the underground vault before, and asked where the previous Iron-Belly was?
The goblins of Gringotts had already thought of the answer before this, which was that the Ulanq Iron Belly was old and weak and could no longer guard the wizards’ vault.
Gringotts puts the safety of the wizards’ vaults first, so they spent a huge amount of money to replace the Peruvian Venomfang Dragon in front of them.
What is the art of speaking? After saying this, the wizard who didn’t understand it gained a lot of favorability. Li Xuan said he had learned it.
Chapter 60 New Goal (3/3) (Old Version)
Looking at the Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon with smooth brass-colored scales in the newspaper, Li Xuan recalled the information about it.
The Peruvian Vipertooth is a species of dragon native to eastern and northeastern Peru. Until the late 19th century, the Peruvian Vipertooth’s population had been growing at an alarming rate, threatening the safety of wizards and Muggles alike.
The International Confederation of Wizards had to send out a dragon-slaying team to reduce the number of venomous dragons. Li Xuan felt that if he could travel through time, he would definitely go back to that time and capture all those Peruvian fire dragons.
The Peruvian Vipertooth had smooth, copper-colored scales, a black ridge on its back, and horns on its head.
Like the Norwegian Ridgeback, it has poisonous teeth, and the Peruvian Venomtooth is the smallest of all known dragons, but the fastest in flight. It is about fifteen feet long.
The Venomfang Dragon feeds on goats and cows, but it also likes to eat humans. Well, it seems that this is a brutal fire dragon. If Li Xuan tames it, he will have to train it well.
Is Li Xuan dreaming? Where would the venomous dragon come from for him to tame?
What everyone doesn’t know is that Li Xuan has been secretly eyeing this new Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon in Gringotts. Let him save it from danger!
What’s the point of guarding the vault under Gringotts? The real life is to fly freely in your own little world.
I wonder if the fairies would faint in the toilet crying when they knew that the Peruvian Venomous Dragon they had spent a lot of money to buy was targeted by this guy Li Xuan?
Li Xuan looked at Fudge and the goblins chattering in the newspaper. Li Xuan didn’t know how they coped with it. However, Li Xuan learned that the day after Gringotts was robbed, all the wizards who heard about it went to check their own vaults.
Of course, there was no problem with the vaults of these wizards. After all, Hagrid did not touch any vaults, and Li Xuan only looted the lowest ones.
Li Xuan was curious about how they solved the problem of the thefts in those vaults, or whether no one checked those vaults?
Maybe seek compensation from some old bee?
Perhaps Dumbledore didn’t expect that what was originally just a play would end up causing so many things?
Moreover, only a limited number of people knew about this incident. How did it leak out?
Or did this guy just happen to run into him and steal the thing?
Neither Dumbledore, the Gringotts goblins, nor Hagrid could figure out where Li Xuan, who suddenly appeared in the middle of the story, came from. They had never expected that there would be a bug-like existence like a time traveler in this world.
However, the magical world does have the magic of divination and prophecy, and Dumbledore thought in this direction.
What Li Xuan didn’t know was that his actions this time not only caused heavy losses to the goblins, but Dumbledore also put in a lot of effort here.
For example, few people are willing to sell fire dragons. It is only because Dumbledore has enough influence and guarantees a price higher than the market price. Otherwise, considering the status of goblins in the wizarding world, it would be impossible to get a Peruvian Venomfang Dragon so quickly.
Of course, Dumbledore could only make the other party agree to trade with the goblins. As for the price, they had to negotiate. Dumbledore had no way to make the other party sell the dragon unconditionally or even at a discount.
This time, Dumbledore also signed a lot of agreements with the goblins in private. Anyway, Li Xuan was the only one who smiled the happiest this time.
Although it cost a lot, at least the magic stone was obtained successfully and the bait was also laid.
Li Xuan remembered when Snape and Quirrell were observing Harry during the Sorting Ceremony. To be more precise, it was Quirrell who had his back to Harry Potter and his head facing Harry.
Li Xuan, who was standing aside, saw Harry covering his painful lightning scar, and knew that the person looking at him should be Voldemort on the back of his head.
But at the same time, Snape scratched his chin with his little hand and looked at Harry coldly, which made Harry misunderstand from the very beginning.
In addition, Snape was the annoying head of Slytherin, and there were various targeting and coincidences in the future. So if Harry hadn’t read Snape’s memory in the end, the misunderstanding might never have been resolved, and there would be no name Albus Severus Potter.
But what does this have to do with Li Xuan?
No, maybe there is a connection, because not only Voldemort, but Li Xuan has also set his eyes on the Philosopher’s Stone. When Voldemort is dead, he can easily take over this “culprit”. Without the Philosopher’s Stone, there will not be so many fights. He is really a good person!
Not only the Philosopher’s Stone, but Li Xuan also took a fancy to the new Peruvian Venomfang Dragon in Gringotts’ underground vault. However, not now, but when Gringotts is invaded again in the future, that is the time for him to take the Peruvian Venomfang Dragon away.
After all, Gringotts’ defenses have definitely been upgraded to a higher level now, so he shouldn’t do anything that’s thankless.
Good man, Li Xuan is a typical example of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot! He is trying his best to grab a sheep!
Chapter 61 Animagus (1/3) (Old Version)
“What are you daydreaming about? Hey, you’re also following the theft at Gringotts. Did you open a vault at Gringotts as well?”
At this time, Penelope had finished feeding the Snow Owl. She came over and saw Li Xuan staring at the Daily Prophet in a daze. Then she looked at the headline and thought that Li Xuan was worried about his own vault.
“No, how can I open a vault in Gringotts with my small fortune?”
Li Xuan was brought back to his senses by someone suddenly jumping onto his shoulder, and handed the Daily Prophet to the curious senior schoolmate beside him. By the way, this was Penelope’s roommate, Martha Rodel, also a Muggle-born wizard.
Martha took the Daily Prophet from Li Xuan and started reading it with her other friends. The Daily Prophet was not cheap, and for a young wizard of Muggle origin, they would save as much as possible.
And instead of spending your Galleons on a subscription to the Daily Prophet, it would be better to save them and buy more things when you visit Hogsmeade.
Penelope looked at Li Xuan with a look that said, “Do you think I’m a fool?” She knew the price of the Daily Prophet. Although one copy was not particularly expensive, it would not be cheap when accumulated over time.
Seeing Penelope’s expression, Li Xuan smiled and said, “I’m thick-skinned. I’ll take whatever you say.”
It was almost time, and Li Xuan and Penelope had to go to class. This morning they were attending Snape’s Potions class.
Li Xuan was studying Herbology with Professor Sprout. As he was walking out of the castle, he ran into Hermione and Neville. This morning Gryffindor’s class was Transfiguration taught by their Headmaster, and the Transfiguration classroom was also on the first floor.
“Brother Li Xuan!”
The two kids were very happy to see Li Xuan. After all, Li Xuan was reading in the dormitory yesterday and they didn’t meet him at meal time, so they really missed him after not seeing him for a day.
Li Xuan looked at the “Transfiguration Beginner’s Guide” in their hands, thought for a moment, and said, “If you enter the Transfiguration classroom and see a cat on the podium, don’t tease her. Bow and be polite. Don’t ask why. You will know when the class starts.”
Li Xuan knew that Hermione loved cats very much. She should not go into the Transfiguration classroom and play with cats. Otherwise, when Professor McGonagall returns to her human form, Hermione might be completely doomed, right?
“Li Xuan, how do you know Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat?”
Hermione asked, and seeing Li Xuan’s puzzled look, Hermione continued: “It was Professor McGonagall who came to my house and took me to Diagon Alley to buy things. She could switch back and forth between a cat and a human in front of me and my parents!”
So that’s how it is. Li Xuan was wondering, Hermione knew that Professor McGonagall was an Animagus after just one day at Hogwarts?
“Professor McGonagall’s ability to transform herself into an animal is called Animagus. There were only seven Animagus registered with the Ministry of Magic in the 20th century, and Professor McGonagall was one of them. If you are interested, you can go to the library to look up relevant information.
Neville, who was the first recorded Animagus?”
Neville didn’t expect Li Xuan to suddenly cue him, but he happened to know the answer to this question because he had seen this name when he was collecting Chocolate Frog cards.
“Falco Esalen!”
Hermione on the side looked at the fat Neville in surprise, which made Neville, who had originally given the answer to Li Xuan’s question, suddenly speechless and returned to his previous state.
“Yes, it’s Falco Esalen. Okay, let’s stop talking. I have an herbal medicine class this morning, and the herbal greenhouse is not in the castle. I’ll go there first. We can talk again at noon!”
Li Xuan said something to the two of them and walked towards the herb greenhouse.
Hermione asked Neville curiously, “How do you know that the first Animagus to register was Falco Essaren?”
“I saw it when I was collecting Chocolate Frog cards.”
Hermione nodded after hearing what Neville said, but this time she didn’t know the answer to Li Xuan’s question. It seemed that her knowledge was not enough. She would go to the library to find some information about Animagus when she had no classes in the evening!
When Li Xuan arrived at Greenhouse No. 1 of Herbology behind the school castle, many students had already arrived.
Just before Li Xuan came in, he took a quick look around. There are a total of rooms in the Herbology Greenhouse, which are simply and roughly named from No. 1 to No. 7.
For example, Greenhouse No. 1 where Li Xuan is taking classes now is where first-year students study herbology. This greenhouse is full of Wu Hai creatures.
In the second and third grades, we will go to Greenhouse No. 3, where there are more advanced plants.
The larger the number, the more dangerous the plants in the greenhouse are, so some herbology greenhouses will not be opened to students.
Since it was the first Herbology class and I was in my first year, it was not that difficult. Under the guidance of Professor Sprout, I learned about some harmless plants.
For example, yellow daisies can be used to make shrinking potions, and dioscorea berries can be mixed with silver powder to treat werewolf bites and prevent excessive blood loss, and mistletoe berries can be used to make common antidotes and forgetfulness potions. . .
By the way, Professor Pomona Sprout is a short witch with flowing gray hair. She likes to wear a thick hat full of patches and is covered in dirt, which is caused by often fiddling with flowers and plants in the greenhouse.
Chapter 62 A History of Magic (2/3) (Old Edition)
At noon, I had lunch with Neville and Hermione in the hall, and then went back to take a nap. There was a large class in the afternoon called History of Magic, so I made an appointment with the two children to do it together in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Li Xuan was not in a hurry to go to the History of Magic classroom on the second floor to reserve a seat, because Hermione and Neville would already have one.
Holding the History of Magic textbook and other books, they came to the History of Magic classroom on the second floor. Because Li Xuan specifically instructed her to do so, the elementary school bully Hermione did not choose the front seat, but a seat in the middle.
As for why, it was naturally because he knew that Professor Binns’ class on History of Magic would be very boring, so he naturally wanted to do other things.
Although Professor Binns is a ghost and doesn’t care much about students’ behavior, you still have to give him a little face and not do anything under his nose.
Although Hermione didn’t know why Li Xuan said this, since he said so, he must have his own ideas. The little girl didn’t want Li Xuan to abandon her. It was rare for them to go to class together.
So if I had to choose between Li Xuan and the first row seat, of course I would choose Li Xuan.
Li Xuan didn’t know that when Hermione got the class schedule yesterday, she wanted to ask Professor McGonagall to change colleges directly. If she hadn’t heard from her seniors that Hogwarts never had such a thing as transferring houses, she would have really wanted to ask.
But what Hermione didn’t know was that if she really made up her mind to do so, it would not be impossible. After all, she became so outstanding that Professor Flitwick came to poach her.
When they arrived at the History of Magic classroom on the second floor, as soon as Li Xuan entered the door, Hermione stood up and waved at him with a smile without Li Xuan having to look for her.
This ordinary classroom also has a long history. It has been here since Professor Binns started teaching History of Magic at Hogwarts.
Even after Professor Binns turned into a ghost, the History of Magic classes were still held in this classroom. You should know that when Professor Binns entered Hogwarts to teach, Hogwarts had just been established for a short time.
“Li Xuan, you’re finally here. I thought you were going to eat it!”
Seeing Li Xuan sitting in the middle, Hermione, who was sitting on his left, spoke up and said that the seat reserved for Li Xuan was in the middle between the two of them.
“It’s okay, I set the alarm, don’t worry,”
Li Xuan sat down and greeted Hermione and Neville and said, there is no bell for classes in Hogwarts, everything depends on the self-consciousness of students and teachers.
The young wizards couldn’t help but shout in surprise as they watched Professor Binns appear in the classroom through the floor of the History of Magic classroom.
As a ghost, Professor Binns looks a little old and shriveled, and always wears a pair of small and thick glasses.
“Welcome all new students. You can call me Professor Binns. My course is History of Magic. I study facts, not myths and legends. Let’s start the class.”
After Professor Binns started off by saying his famous quote, he didn’t say anything more and just started giving his lecture.
Because it was the first History of Magic class at the beginning of the school year, and it was taught by a ghost, it was really a brand new version that had never been seen before.
But it can only be said that these little guys are too happy too early. There is a reason why Professor Binns’ History of Magic has won the title of the most boring and hypnotic book of the year at Hogwarts and has won the title for many years.
As Professor Binns read from the textbook, and the sound of his lecture was very similar to the buzzing of an old vacuum cleaner, the young wizards suddenly felt as if a basin of ice water was poured down on them.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour passed, and all the little wizards were very impressed at how Professor Binns was able to keep his voice tone without any change from beginning to end.
But this is simply torture for the young wizards, and they just follow the textbook verbatim without any extra surprises.
Li Xuan saw that many young wizards had started to chat with each other. Some of them fell asleep directly under the hypnotic song of Professor Binns. Li Xuan even saw people who took out wizard chess and started playing. Yes, it was Harry and Ron.
“Li Xuan, Professor Binns’ class is so boring…”
Even Hermione rarely complained, which was really rare. But it was normal when you think about it. This little girl Hermione must have the same habit of previewing as Li Xuan.
Originally, Hermione had accumulated some questions that she wanted to ask, or like this morning during the Transfiguration, she could raise her hand to answer when the teacher asked questions to get extra points for Gryffindor. Looking at the situation now, let alone asking questions or getting extra points for being asked questions, it was already a great honor for her to be able to listen without sleeping or doing anything else!
Neville beside him also nodded. He was almost asleep.
“In that case, let me tell you a story. It’s not really a story, but the story of how Professor Binns became a ghost. How about it? Do you want to listen?”
The two children nodded and looked at Li Xuan expectantly, waiting for him to start speaking.
Even the little wizard nearby who heard Li Xuan talking couldn’t help but turn his body sideways and prick up his ears to listen.
Chapter 63: Two Sad People (3/3) (Old Version)
“Professor Binns was actually born in a time very long ago from us. How long ago was it? It was when the four founders of Hogwarts founded Hogwarts.
Professor Binns was already very old when Hogwarts was first established, but he was knowledgeable, quick-witted and clear-minded, so he was invited by the four founders to be a magic professor at Hogwarts.
Until one day, after resting in the classroom lounge, he forgot to bring his body with him when he got up to go to class, and as a result, he turned into a ghost.
But death did not stop him from continuing his teaching career, so Professor Binns became the only ghost professor in Hogwarts. Of course, there is a lot of debate about whether he is aware of his own death.
Li Xuan finished talking about Professor Binns in one breath, and Hermione and the others listened with great interest. Isn’t this more interesting than Professor Binns’ lectures?
But Hermione had a question. She looked up at Professor Binns who was still talking to himself and asked in a low voice, “Li Xuan, didn’t you say that Professor Binns was a man of quick thinking, clear ideas and extensive knowledge? How come he has become so boring now?”
As expected of Hermione, her little brain works quickly and she can grasp the key points. This problem is not difficult for Li Xuan.
“Actually, this is mainly related to Professor Binns’ current situation.”
Hermione quickly grasped the key point of what Li Xuan said and said, “Ghost?”
Li Xuan nodded. The key point lies in the ghost.
“Because I saw many ghosts on the night of my enrollment, I have been asking around and reading some books about ghosts these past two days.
When wizards become ghosts, they will not be able to enjoy or touch anything, and their cognition will always remain the same as when they were alive. So Professor Binns’ teaching style has not changed at all over the years. I think it’s because he has become a ghost.”
After hearing Li Xuan’s analysis, the young wizards nodded in sudden enlightenment. However, Professor Binns’ eyes also swept over them at this time, and everyone immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.
There was no way. Just now, in order to hear Li Xuan’s words clearly, some little wizards turned their bodies upside down. No wonder they were noticed by Professor Binns.
Professor Binns stopped teaching and looked at Li Xuan and the others. The other little wizards naturally saw it, but since they knew that the commotion was caused by Li Xuan, they were not surprised. After all, they had seen some of Li Xuan’s abilities on the day of enrollment.
Draco Malfoy, who was sitting on the other side, was full of envy. He felt that things had not been going well for him these few days at Hogwarts. First, he was taught a lesson by Li Xuan on the Hogwarts Express.
Then, he failed to become friends with the legendary savior Harry Potter, and instead became his enemy. Now the two of them dislike each other, and it seems abnormal if they don’t have a few words every time they meet.
And because Gryffindor’s courses are basically together with Slytherin, the two of them really see each other all the time.
Originally Draco thought that with his abilities, the power of the Malfoy family, and the care of his godfather, Dean Snape, he would be able to call the shots once he entered Hogwarts. But he found out that he was overthinking.
Not to mention being able to call the wind and rain, few people recognize him when they go out. The ones who really steal the show are the savior Harry Potter and the handsome Ravenclaw eagle.
But in terms of physical strength, thinking of his power that day and his height and body shape which were taller than his, Draco felt that he was no match for Li Xuan.
In terms of knowledge, any young wizard who is not of Muggle origin knows what Ravenclaw House means, not to mention that Li Xuan had shown himself to be a saint in front of others before.
In terms of fame, is there anyone in this class, no, in the entire Hogwarts students, who is more famous than the name Harry Potter? !
Draco felt that his life at Hogwarts was nothing like what he had imagined…
Not only Draco noticed Li Xuan, but our savior Harry Potter also noticed him. However, unlike Hermione and his roommate Neville, he did not have much contact with Li Xuan.
But he still envied Li Xuan very much, whether it was Li Xuan’s appearance, Li Xuan’s conversation, or Li Xuan’s erudition. In the past two days, Harry also figured out the reason why he was so popular.
But he had no recollection of defeating the Dark Lord and saving the world, nor did he have any recollection of his parents.
Moreover, compared to other young wizards, he didn’t seem to have any special skills. He was not as knowledgeable as Li Xuan, nor as handsome as him. Not only was he late for the Transfiguration class this morning, he couldn’t even complete the simplest Transfiguration, so Harry was very confused.
Ron saw Harry suddenly become dazed while playing wizard chess, so he quickly patted him on the shoulder. Harry came back to his senses and continued playing wizard chess with Ron.
As for listening to Professor Binns’s lectures seriously?
Forget it, stop torturing yourself and let yourself go!
Chapter 64: The Weasley Twins (Extra chapter for 10,000 flowers) (Old version)
I finally finished the History of Magic class. Fortunately, there was only one class, otherwise it would have been really painful. But what was even more painful was that there was another class tomorrow morning!
Li Xuan took a look at the dinner and felt that it certainly could not be compared with the opening dinner. After all, if so many kinds of dishes were prepared every day, it would be difficult to take care of other things.
You should know that the house-elves at Hogwarts are not just cooks, they are also dormitory managers, cleaners, etc., and they have multiple roles.
Every dinner party takes almost a day to prepare. Even with the help of magic, it is not that easy with so many teachers and students in Hogwarts.
Therefore, lunch and dinner are usually large in quantity and filling, and the types of food are rotated every day, so dozens of kinds of food are combined into various combinations by the house-elves.
Tonight’s dishes include grilled sausages, roast chicken, stewed meat, broccoli, baked potatoes, peas, bread, and pumpkin juice and orange juice, which are essential for every meal.
There were only a few of them, and there was nothing that Li Xuan didn’t like, so Li Xuan basically took some of them and put them on the plate. Tonight’s dishes were pretty good, with a combination of meat and vegetables, both staple foods and vegetables.
By the way, this time Li Xuan didn’t resist the baked potatoes because Hermione helped peel the skin of the baked potatoes. Well, Li Xuan was not shy and shameless, and let a little girl help him peel the potatoes.
It was just that Hermione saw that Li Xuan took everything except the baked potato, so she asked him if he didn’t like potatoes. When she found out that he was too lazy to peel them, she reluctantly peeled one for him and herself.
One is enough, and eating too much will make you choke.
Because there were no male freshmen in Ravenclaw this year, and Li Xuan had no interest in getting to know the other little witches, so after dinner, Li Xuan simply did not rush back to his dormitory because he would be alone there.
He took out the flying chess from the space and took Hermione and Neville to play in the auditorium. The auditorium is not only a place to eat, but also a place for entertainment. Many young wizards are not in a hurry to go back after dinner. After all, some friends are from other colleges, and they can chat and play together here.
In the middle of the process, our Weasley twins naturally saw the new toy that Li Xuan took out, and they pricked up their ears to listen when he was explaining the rules to Hermione and Neville.
After all, flying chess is something from the technological world. There is no such thing in the wizarding world. Both brothers are particularly interested and active in playing with things.
“Brother Li Xuan, can we join in your flying chess game?”
“Yes, this flying chess is much simpler than wizard chess, but it feels very interesting!”
The Weasley twins sat down next to Li Xuan in a familiar manner, and spoke to Li Xuan with a smile. Li Xuan naturally didn’t dislike these naughty twins. After all, Li Xuan was very sad when one of them died in the previous life.
“Take it. Here’s a set for you. You’ve just heard the rules, so I don’t need to explain more.”
Li Xuan took out a set of flying chess from the small world and handed it to them. George and Fred might not be serious about studying, but they were extremely talented in playing this game.
Seeing Li Xuan’s move, George and Fred’s eyes lit up.
“Cool, space storage equipment!”
“I hope we can have one someday. But thank you so much for giving us a set of flying chess. If you need our help, just ask!”
“That’s right, there’s nothing that George and Fred can’t do.”
“I’m George and you’re Fred.”
Wherever Fred and George were, there would never be dull silence. Seeing the two people starting to quarrel again, no one thought it was strange.
By the way, Li Xuan is now at the Gryffindor table, but no one minds. Generally speaking, this is a very normal thing. The three houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are basically very harmonious.
Only Slytherin was left out. It should be said that most of the Slytherin students had no choice. No one wanted to be looked down upon and arrogantly.
“You’re George, you’re Fred!”
The two people who were originally quarreling were stunned when they saw that Li Xuan could easily distinguish them. Not only Fred and George, but other Gryffindor students were also very curious.
“Li Xuan, how did you do it? Even our mother can’t tell the two of us apart?”
“That’s right, our little brother Ron has been fooled by us many times.”
Hearing Fred’s words, Ron couldn’t help but rolled his eyes and said, “Thank you so much.” Harry next to him looked at his good brother with amusement. It seems that life is also “in dire straits”!
“It’s magic!”
After hearing Li Xuan’s words, all the people who were expecting him rolled their eyes. If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t talk about it. What magic are you talking about? Do you think you are in the technological world? This is the wizarding world. It’s like everyone knows magic!
“Hurry up and play, or you won’t be able to play until curfew.”
Hearing Li Xuan’s words, Fred and George hurriedly took the flying chess to the side and started looking for people to play with them, which attracted quite a few little wizards to watch, including Li Xuan’s side.
Later, when Fred and George saw that there were only three of them on Li Xuan’s team, they shamelessly joined their team, and the flying chess game was given to other little wizards to play.
They discovered that Li Xuan, this junior, was not only knowledgeable as his younger brother said, but also possessed all kinds of interesting things. If they had a good relationship with him, they would naturally be able to benefit from him equally!
Li Xuan had no idea of ​​Fred and George’s little plan. He played with Hermione and the others until after ten o’clock and then went back to wash up. After all, he had to get up early to exercise the next day.
Chapter 65: Changes Brought by Li Xuan (1/3) (Old Version)
After a tough History of Magic class in the morning, Li Xuan was temporarily relieved, but Hermione and the others were not so happy as they had to attend a consecutive Charms class with Professor Flitwick. Li Xuan had two Charms classes in the afternoon.
The time is rather awkward now. It is not time for lunch yet, and it is too early to go back to the dormitory to rest. Li Xuan thought about it and decided to go to the library to read a book.
The library is also on the second floor of the castle, not far from the History of Magic classroom. After separating from Hermione and the others, Li Xuan came to the library.
After greeting Madam Pince, Li Xuan walked in. He had to say that this was a magic school that had been established for a thousand years. The thousands of bookshelves filled with books were truly shocking.
And Li Xuan also knew that the books in front of him were not all, because there was also a banned books area and an invisible books area.
Li Xuan found the book he wanted to read according to the book index. The book was still in the library. It seemed that Hagrid had not yet obtained the dragon egg.
That’s right, the book that Li Xuan took out was “From Hatching Eggs to Nirvana: A Guide to Raising Dragons”, a book that introduced fire dragons and how to raise them. It was not particularly thick and took more than an hour to read.
By the time Li Xuan finished reading the book, it was already noon. He returned the book and went to the auditorium where he saw Hermione and the others having lunch. They had lunch together and then went back to rest.
In the afternoon, there is the Dean’s class, Charms, which is a compulsory course for grades one to five, just like Transfiguration, Herbology, Potions, History of Magic and Astronomy.
The subject of Charms is very obvious, and it focuses on teaching students to learn spells. Generally speaking, first-year students learn some very simple spells, such as levitation, water creation, fluorescent flash, etc.
In the Charms class, Professor Flitwick mainly taught the young wizards how to wave their wands and the correct pronunciation of spells.
Li Xuan found this Charms class very boring. After perfectly using the Levitation Charm and the Water-Creating Charm in front of Professor Flitwick and the first-year wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, he received a reward from Professor Flitwick with ten points for Ravenclaw.
He then obtained the privilege of being exempted from attending classes. Of course, although the classes did not have to be suspended, he still had to stay in the classroom. It didn’t matter. Li Xuan was also learning spells anyway, so he could ask Professor Flitwick if he had any questions.
While other young wizards were still listening to Professor Flitwick explaining the theoretical knowledge of the water-creating spell, Li Xuan was already learning it on his own. It turned out that the gap between people was still very obvious.
But no one was jealous or envious of Li Xuan, or at least the young wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff did not. After all, they asked Li Xuan questions after class, and Li Xuan taught them generously.
And when the gap is not big and you can catch up, you may still feel jealous, but you can’t even see the other person’s back, so don’t even mention envy, jealousy and hatred, just lick me hard!
What’s more, Li Xuan has a lot of good things in his hands. The flying chess last night and a lot of snacks from the world of technology that he took out later were all very popular with everyone.
Coupled with Li Xuan’s unique mature and steady temperament and way of doing things, even though Li Xuan appears to have a good relationship with Hermione and Neville from Gryffindor, the Ravenclaw students are not jealous.
On the contrary, since Li Xuan has a good relationship with them, then Li Xuan’s friends are my friends.
Well, it really was a new level of licking, but because of this, both Hermione and Neville were in a much better situation than before.
The clever Hermione is quite popular among the little witches in Ravenclaw. Under Li Xuan’s instruction, she is not so arrogant anymore. To be more precise, she has slightly retracted the thorns that protect herself.
After all, the unpleasant part of Hermione’s character is the arrogance and stubbornness she displays in order to protect herself. Of course, being a know-it-all is unpleasant in Gryffindor, but there is no such trouble in Ravenclaw.
Because the atmosphere in Ravenclaw is actually very much like an academic discussion college, it is normal for everyone to learn from and discuss with each other.
So as long as Hermione is a little more careful, it will be fine. What’s more, Hermione has just entered Hogwarts, and has two friends, Li Xuan and Neville, and so many other friends, so she will not be so arrogant.
Li Xuan had never expected that Neville, the forgetful boy, would be welcomed by the new Hufflepuff students. After all, Neville was not only shy but also easily reminisced. The aftereffects of the Forgetfulness Curse still had a great impact on him.
The main reason was that the young wizards in Hufflepuff basically did not discriminate against Neville, and Neville had a very good personality, which made him very comfortable in Hufflepuff. In addition, Neville had been interested in herbology since he was a child, so he had read many books on herbology.
This is even more attractive to the young wizards of Hufflepuff. After all, their head of the house is a master of herbology, so they will naturally have different ideas about herbology.
In fact, this is very common in Hogwarts. Students in each college will be particularly sad about the courses taught by their dean, because they are masters in the wizarding world, and they naturally hope to become like them.
In other words, the deans of the four colleges are actually idols of the young wizards in each college. This should make sense.
Chapter 66: Big-Belly Fire Dragon (2/3) (Old Version)
After the Charms get out of class, Hermione and Neville came over to the cafeteria to eat. Because of Li Xuan’s appearance, Neville is now much more confident than before, so there was no flying class in the afternoon.
However, some other little wizards were not obedient when riding their brooms for the first time and were injured. After Madam Hooch took the little wizards away temporarily, Harry still had a conflict with Draco.
This scene was seen by Professor McGonagall, because Madam Hooch came back soon and deducted ten points from Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively, so Professor McGonagall did not appear for the time being.
She didn’t come to take Harry away until after class. Everyone thought that Harry was going to be scolded by Professor McGonagall, but unexpectedly, she took Harry to find Gryffindor Quidditch captain Wood to tell him that Harry was a good seeker.
Well, in addition to the title of savior, Harry also has the title of the youngest seeker in history.
However, this has nothing to do with Li Xuan, or it can be said that Li Xuan is not interested in Quidditch, a sport that is highly personal and heroic.
Maybe other people think that this kind of sport is just right for them, after all, they can stand out, but Li Xuan is already quite old in his heart.
Li Xuan’s purpose of entering Hogwarts was actually very simple. The first one was naturally to study, learn spells, learn potions, and learn all kinds of knowledge that he would need.
The second is the Hogwarts library. At least in England, there is no place with a richer collection of books than the Hogwarts library. This is an invisible benefit that only Hogwarts students can enjoy.
The other thing is to covet the creatures in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, which can fill many gaps in Li Xuan’s small world, such as the giant spider, unicorn, hippogriff…
It would be a great pleasure to be able to truly enjoy a wave of zero-dollar purchases. After all, who can resist the pleasure of free tickets?
Finally, Dumbledore would hold the front line while he would develop slowly in the back and collect Horcruxes at the same time. After all, the diadem of Ravenclaw, the diaries of Harry Potter and the future Tom Riddle were all in Hogwarts.
After returning to the dormitory, Li Xuan was not in a hurry to wash up, but went into the small world to take a look around first.
Seeing Li Xuan coming in, Ulank Iron-Belly Fire Dragon intimately moved its big head closer. Today, it happened to not go out to hunt, so it stayed by the lake behind the villa, so as soon as Li Xuan came in, it sensed it.
“Alright, alright, you’re so big and still so clingy.”
Li Xuan smiled and patted the fire dragon’s big head. Now the fire dragon can be said to have completely recovered its original posture.
I still remember that when Li Xuan just brought it out of the underground vault of Gringotts, it was covered with wounds, skinny, and even its scales had become pale and loose.
He lives a miserable and decadent life, his eyes are dull and without any sharpness, and he is afraid of the clanking sound of metal pieces.
But now, with sufficient food supply and after Li Xuan fed the fire dragon the spiritual liquid, it has regained its power as the largest fire dragon in the world!
The pale scales had returned to a shiny grey, and at first glance they looked difficult to break.
The eyes were no longer a cloudy pink color, but had turned back into a sharp deep red. If an ordinary person were to look into the eyes of a fire dragon, the timid ones would probably be so frightened that they would be unable to move.
Polite Draco: Thank you so much!
The originally thin body shape has been restored, the blunt claws have faded and replaced with new sharp claws, and the weight of Ulank Iron Belly has returned to normal, and it definitely weighs six tons!
And now, with the help of Li Xuan, the sound of the metal sheet that had formed a conditioned reflex no longer has any effect on it, and it has overcome this psychological shadow.
This Ulank Iron-Belly Dragon is already very old, and after being tortured in the underground vault for so many years, it is no longer as strong as it used to be.
But with the help of Li Xuan, various meats and the replenishment of spiritual fluids have restored him to the level of a middle-aged man.
If I continue to survive in the small world, with the help of Li Xuan, I might be able to make further progress in the future. No, even several steps!
Li Xuan sat on the back of the fire dragon and began to patrol his own territory. It seemed that the achievement of a fire dragon knight was not that difficult to achieve.
There were five enlarged bird snakes following beside it. This was quite a big scene. After patrolling along the way, there were no major problems, except that some creatures were eaten too much by the fire dragon and needed to be controlled a little to give their tribe time to recuperate and recover.
The fire dragon ate a lot before because it had just been rescued and needed a lot of food to replenish itself. Now it has passed that difficult time, otherwise it would be difficult for Li Xuan to go out and replenish the creatures of the small world if it were in Hogwarts now.
In fact, it was also related to Li Xuan’s initial miscalculation. He thought it was enough, but he didn’t expect the fire dragon to have such a good appetite, which led to this situation.
But it’s normal. After all, it’s Li Xuan’s first time raising a fire dragon, so it’s normal to have some problems.
Chapter 67: Flatterer Li Xuan? (3/3) (Old version)
“Good morning!”
Li Xuan came to the auditorium with a copy of “The Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration” written by Emeryswich. When he saw Penelope and her roommates, he greeted them and sat down.
The weather was not so good today, and it drizzled early in the morning. Therefore, Li Xuan did not go out for a run, but he also did some exercise in the dormitory, such as push-ups, squats, sit-ups, etc.
Breakfast was still the same, but there were some more cookies today. Li Xuan took a few pieces. They tasted good, very fragrant, and were cooked to the perfect temperature, very crispy and fragrant.
So Li Xuan felt that this morning’s breakfast would be milk and biscuits. He couldn’t stand eating oatmeal porridge every day.
Li Xuan chatted with others in a random manner. When the time was almost up, he took the Ravenclaw freshmen to the Transfiguration classroom.
In just two short days, Li Xuan became the leader of this class of Ravenclaw freshmen, ahem, the leader of leaders.
Basically, Li Xuan takes the lead in group activities, the only thing missing is the title of first-grade class leader.
Arriving at the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor, Li Xuan saw the tabby cat with square glasses-like patterns on his eyes on the podium. He immediately greeted Professor McGonagall, “Good morning, Professor McGonagall!”
The Ravenclaw students didn’t know why Li Xuan said hello to a cat, but some Ravenclaw students who knew Animagus knew what was going on when they saw Li Xuan like this.
However, although the other young wizards didn’t know why Li Xuan did this, they also followed Li Xuan’s question marks, so the Hufflepuff students who had already arrived were a little surprised to see the Ravenclaw students greet a cat.
The next second, they were shocked to find that the cat had turned into Professor McGonagall. One of the little wizards even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“The Ravenclaw wizards earn ten points for their politeness and erudition.”
“Thank you, Professor McGonagall!”
Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, the young wizards all said happily, who could have thought that just by following Li Xuan’s lead they could earn ten points for the academy.
“Please take your seats!”
Professor McGonagall nodded and said to the little wizards, which professor doesn’t like knowledgeable and polite little wizards?
Seeing how united Ravenclaw is under the leadership of the invisible leader Li Xuan, and how outstanding Li Xuan is, compared with the little lions in my own academy, I have to clean up their messes every day.
But even so, Professor McGonagall would not think that her little lion is worse than the little eagles of Ravenclaw.
Professor McGonagall has been a teacher at Hogwarts since 1956, and it is now 1991, a full thirty-five years. She has seen all kinds of students, and her Gryffindor students are no worse than Ravenclaws!
“Brother Li Xuan, how do you know that cat was transformed by Professor McGonagall?”
As soon as they sat down, the little wizards started asking. They were really curious. After all, who could have thought that humans could turn into cats?
“Do any of you know what an Animagus is?”
“Animagus refers to a wizard who can transform himself into an animal while retaining his magical powers.”
A young wizard who happened to have read a book about Animagus spoke up.
Li Xuan nodded and continued, “In fact, if you learn more about Animagus, you will find that Professor McGonagall’s name will definitely be associated with Animagus.
The conditions for becoming an Animagus are extremely harsh, and the entire process takes months, so there are only seven Animagus registered with the Ministry of Magic in the entire century, and Professor McGonagall is one of them.
And Animagus can be said to be a kind of Transfiguration to some extent. Professor McGonagall, a master of Transfiguration, has shown extraordinary talent for Transfiguration since she was in school, and has obtained the highest scores in both O.W.L and N.E.W.T exams.
In addition, she also won the “Today’s Transfiguration Most Promising Newcomer Award”. When Professor McGonagall was 21 years old, she became the Transfiguration professor of Hogwarts. You know, the previous Transfiguration professor was our Headmaster Dumbledore.
And Professor McGonagall has been the professor of Transfiguration since 1956, so I don’t need to say much about Professor McGonagall’s ability. Just like our Professor Flitwick’s title of Master of Charms and Champion of Duelling, Professor McGonagall is undoubtedly the master of Transfiguration in the modern era.”
None of the young wizards present had imagined that Professor McGonagall had been so outstanding, especially that she had been recognized by Dumbledore and took over the Transfiguration course from him.
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Li Xuan. Your erudition has once again added five points to Ravenclaw.”
Not only were the young wizards shocked, but Professor McGonagall was also very surprised. It was a common practice to use Animagus to intimidate the young wizards every year.
Unexpectedly, this year she was first exposed by Hermione and then recognized by Li Xuan. That would have been fine, but she didn’t expect that Li Xuan, a little wizard from a Muggle family, actually knew her so well. This was really the first time in her long teaching experience.
As for other people who are not convinced that Li Xuan gave them five extra points just because he introduced them, if you are not convinced, you can also learn from him. Besides, the addition and subtraction of points is actually very subjective.
Just look at Snape and Dumbledore and you will know that one deducted points from Harry crazily, while the other added points crazily.
Of course, Professor McGonagall was not a casual person, but she had the right to act willfully from time to time.
Li Xuan stood up and politely bowed slightly to Professor McGonagall to express his gratitude. He really didn’t expect that he would get extra points for introducing the young wizards, even if it seemed a bit like flattery in the eyes of others.
But Li Xuan didn’t have any idea that Ravenclaw had to become the house cup champion. After all, with the old bee around, the cheats he gave to Gryffindor were really great. As long as they were not the last, it would be fine.
Chapter 68: Flying Lessons Unfriendly to Male Wizards (Updated for October Tickets) (Old Version)
After talking about Professor McGonagall’s life experience, seeing that there was still enough time, the young wizards pulled Li Xuan aside to talk about the achievements of Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout.
Professor McGonagall below was also listening to Li Xuan’s explanation. After all, who you think of yourself as and who you hear from others are two completely different concepts and experiences.
The first class was the same as Li Xuan’s class in his previous life. He first gave the little wizards a brief introduction to the class and some small stories.
Except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, most of the teachers are veterans, so they will talk about some things about the course to increase students’ interest in the course.
After all, no matter in which world, teachers know that interest is the best teacher for students and the motivation that enables them to keep learning.
Didn’t you see that even Snape did this? When he opened his mouth, he talked about death and glory. Which young man would not be excited after hearing that!
Then they start to learn theoretical knowledge. Generally speaking, on the first day, theory is the main focus, supplemented by practice. After a week or two, when students are familiar with it, practice becomes the main focus, supplemented by theory.
Because of Li Xuan’s flattery in the morning, Professor McGonagall was in a very good mood this morning. Even when the little lion got into trouble at noon and was sent to her, she smiled and comforted him without scolding him harshly as before.
This made Fred and George wonder if Professor McGonagall had been put under the Imperius Curse. Yes, the mischievous duo sent by Filch were Fred and George, and they could be said to be frequent visitors to Professor McGonagall’s office.
For a moment, the twins were a little uncomfortable not being scolded by Professor McGonagall, and even wondered if there was something wrong with their head of house.
Because of this, the two of them got into trouble again, and this time Professor McGonagall didn’t treat them well, but Fred and George accepted the reprimand with a smile.
Anyway, it’s not the first time that she’s been scolded, so she’s become immune to it. This is a normal Professor McGonagall!
Well, maybe these two brothers have some masochistic tendencies?!
However, when Professor McGonagall met Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout at dinner, they talked about this matter, which made Professor Flitwick very happy. After all, it was really rare to receive praise from both Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout at the same time.
Li Xuan, who was eating a lamb chop, had no idea that he had made his dean proud again. He had a full schedule today, including two flying classes in the afternoon.
Li Xuan had no interest in flying lessons. What was the point of riding a magic broom? Even if it had various types of light wheels and was very fast, it could not change the fact that it was just a broom.
Riding a flying broom is really not friendly to men. Even though a triangular seat similar to a bicycle seat will be automatically generated when riding a flying broom, it is still not comfortable!
Is this triangle friendly to men?
Li Xuan was afraid that riding a flying broom too much would affect his development, so even though he had a good talent for flying, he did not show it. He did not want to be dragged to Ravenclaw’s Quidditch team by Professor Flitwick.
Joining the Quidditch team means regular training, and regular training means riding a flying broom for a long time, which Li Xuan is unwilling to do.
Besides, what’s the point of riding a flying broom? Are my bird snake and my fire dragon just decorations?
So for the flying class, Li Xuan’s idea was just to not fail. Li Xuan, who was trying to hide his incompetence, didn’t expect that he would become more popular.
Because he is perfect and proficient in everything, he is indeed very powerful, but he is a god, not a human. He gives people the feeling that he is not in the same world as us, so it is useless even if we get close to him.
But there are flaws, there are things that are not good at, then the golden body is broken, and the distance is shortened at once. Li Xuan understood it after thinking about it. I didn’t expect that my behavior would have such an effect.
When it comes to interacting with people at Hogwarts, Li Xuan believes in going with the flow, being casual, and not forcing anything.
As for his omnipotence, erudition, maturity and stability in the eyes of other young wizards, it can only be said that this is due to his psychological age and experience. Also, the fact that he has traveled through time and space and is familiar with the plot is also crucial.
“There’s no silly waving of wands here, so many of you won’t believe it’s magic. I don’t expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron with its smoke and fragrance.
You will never truly understand the magical power of the liquid that flows into people’s veins, which makes people’s hearts and minds excited and confused. . .
I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death – but only if you are not the kind of fools I often encounter. . . ”
Looking at Snape speaking such a cool speech to everyone on the podium, especially the last sentence, which was very characteristic of Snape, any better words should be followed by some sarcasm or ridicule.
Chapter 69: Snape’s Triple Crown (1/3) (Old Version)
Snape’s class was early this morning, so the young Ravenclaw wizards, led by Li Xuan, arrived at the Potions classroom ten minutes earlier than usual.
You should know that during class, Li Xuan would usually take everyone to arrive ten to twenty minutes early to avoid wasting time at the spiral staircase.
As for why the Potions class has to start ten minutes earlier, it is all based on the experience of seniors. This way, Snape will have no reason to deduct points.
In addition, the Potions classroom is underground, which is cold and gloomy, and students need to bring their own equipment to the class. They also have to organize their equipment a little bit when they get there, and sometimes they have to select or distribute the materials for making potions, so it is better to go early than to be late.
Snape was chattering away while Li Xuan was looking around the entire Potions classroom. To be honest, the Potions classroom was more in line with the image of wizards in various novels in his previous life.
The shelves on the walls of the classroom were filled with various glass jars, in which various animal specimens were soaked in solutions, which looked extremely creepy.
In addition, the potions classroom is underground, which makes it even colder than the main castle building upstairs, and the atmosphere created is even more terrifying.
If they had not just come down together, many of the little witches would have been frightened and screamed.
There is also a storage cabinet for magical materials in the classroom, which contains various raw materials needed by students to make potions, as well as Snape’s favorite small blackboard.
Snape would always write down the materials and methods needed to prepare the potion. Since there was no Harry Potter, there would naturally be no three difficult questions here.
However, Li Xuan knew that Snape’s three questions actually contained hidden meanings.
First question, what would I get if I added the powdered narcissus root to the wormwood stem liquid?
The standard answer is of course the water of life and death, but narcissus is a kind of lily, and Lily’s name also means lily.
Secondly, the flower language of daffodils is “I will never get rid of my regret for you until I die”, while wormwood represents absence, bitter sorrow, and regret taken to the grave.
The English word “LivingDeath” which is formed by the combination of the two literally means that life is worse than death.
So the hidden answer to this question is that, Lily, I am deeply saddened by your death and will regret it until my death.
The second question is if I want to find a bezoar, where would you look?
The standard answer here is in the goat’s stomach. Let’s not talk about the fact that in the future Harry used this knowledge to save his good buddy Ron.
In fact, there is a hidden meaning here, which is connected to the previous question. Lily’s death made him very sad. What he wanted to express was that fecal stones can be found in the goat’s stomach, so how can I solve my pain?
Even the fecal stones that can detoxify cannot be removed!
The third question is, what is the difference between Aconitum naviculare and Aconitum chamaejasminoides?
The standard answer is of course that there is no difference, because they are both Aconitum, just with different names, but the flower language is also different with different names.
The flower language of Aconitum carmichaelii is living for love, tenacity, and heroic qualities. The flower language of Aconitum natans is malice, and the hidden meaning is that no matter what happens, the love for Lily will not change. This is also the best explanation of the phrase “always”!
There is also a statement that Li Xuan in his previous life agreed with, that the two names of the same plant also represent Snape’s dual identities, a Death Eater and a Hogwarts professor.
A plant has many names, and it must have many sides to protect Harry. It also hopes that Harry can understand that many people have two different sides, and you can’t hastily judge what kind of person he is by looking at only one side.
Just like him, and just like his father James Potter, everyone has good and bad sides, and he hopes that Harry can understand this issue from an early age.
Just like his reputation as a savior, but this is often difficult to change.
Just like what Shen Gongbao said in a movie that Li Xuan watched in his previous life: The prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain, and you can’t move it no matter how hard you try!
If Snape had not given his memories to Harry before he died, and Harry had not seen Snape’s memories in the Pensieve himself, perhaps Harry would not have believed it even if Snape had spoken.
After all, people only believe what they believe, see and hear, and everything else is false.
Perhaps Snape also considered this, and perhaps did this, otherwise Dumbledore’s layout would be useless and his death would be wasted.
All we can say is that Snape is a tragic character, and so is Dumbledore. Of course, they were very good to Harry. Maybe there were some other things mixed in, but they were really good to Harry, otherwise Harry would not have used their two names as part of his child’s name in the future.
The classroom without Harry Potter, to be precise, the Potions class, was very calm and peaceful, as was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Therefore, Li Xuan is very happy that he is not in the same college as Harry and is not in Gryffindor. At least it can ensure that his study life can proceed smoothly and normally.
Look at Harry’s classes. He had a conflict with Draco in the flying class, was targeted by Snape in the Potions class, and was closely watched by the Socket Man in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
He was late in Transfiguration and was threatened by his own dean to turn his pocket watch into a map. He was not targeted in Charms, but he did not show any extraordinary talent, which made him unworthy of the title of Savior.
Only Herbology, Astronomy and History of Magic were a little better for him. I can only say that it was really tragic. If he had to take divination classes in the future, he might be “threatened” frequently.
Chapter 70: The Unforgettable Quirrell (2/3) (Old Version)
Thursday was a busy day for Li Xuan, because he had classes from morning to night, including Potions class in the morning, Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, and astronomy class in the evening.
The astronomy class at night was pretty good. It was just looking at the starry sky with a telescope. Under the guidance of Professor Aurora Sinistra, we learned the names of stars, constellations and planets, as well as their positions, how they move, and their environment.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon was really a torture. Even though Li Xuan, who was well prepared, hid in the last row, he was still irritated by the smell.
Coupled with Quirrell’s stuttering and intermittent teaching voice, it’s no wonder that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts was so bad.
In fact, the original Quirrell was a very talented young wizard. Like Li Xuan, he was also in Ravenclaw when he was studying at Hogwarts.
But after traveling around the world before school started, he changed, began to stutter, and started wearing a scarf, claiming that it was soaked in garlic juice to help repel vampires.
Therefore, wherever Quirrell is, there will be a strong and stinking smell of garlic. As for the headscarf, it is ostensibly to drive away vampires, but in fact it is to cover up the existence of Voldemort’s residual soul.
Looking at Quirrell above, Li Xuan couldn’t help but glance at the back of his head. He wondered if Voldemort would get pickled after being wrapped in this scarf all day.
Also, does Quirrell let Voldemort out for a walk every night, just like taking a dog for a walk at home?
Qi Luo didn’t know why the little Donghuang wizard named Li Xuan was looking at him with a strange look, but the other person’s eyes made him feel very uncomfortable.
Now his master is in hibernation, and his goal this time is the Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter, so other people should try not to provoke him and not attract his attention.
Especially recently, Snape has noticed his strange behavior and started targeting him, so he should try to do less trouble.
So Quirrell gave Li Xuan a very stiff and ugly smile in return, which made Li Xuan, who was still in a bad mood, come to his senses instantly. Well, he was too arrogant, staring at Voldemort so unscrupulously.
That is to say, in order to reduce the loss and burden on Quirrell’s body, Voldemort was asleep during the day. Otherwise, Voldemort, who was sensitive and perceptive by nature, would definitely feel that Li Xuan was watching him, not himself as Quirrell thought.
Li Xuan also smiled back, then lowered his head. Anyway, Quirrell’s speech was intermittent, mixed with the smell of garlic, which made the little wizards dazed, so they didn’t pay attention to the “interaction” between Li Xuan and Quirrell.
“It’s too much. It’s not developed yet. I’d better stay calm for a while.”
Li Xuan reflected secretly in his heart that the Voldemort who possessed Quirrell in the early stage was not weak. He was not the Voldemort who needed unicorn blood in the middle and late stages.
With just a remnant soul, he was able to completely control Quirrell and possess the back of his head to reveal his face.
Voldemort has full control over Quirrell’s body. He can see what’s happening outside through the back of Quirrell’s head, control Quirrell’s actions, and even force him to commit murder.
In fact, Quirrell had naturally resisted. After all, who would want their body to be out of their own control?
Unfortunately, Quirrell’s resistance was so fragile in front of Voldemort. Voldemort was too powerful for him. And because Voldemort’s residual soul was attached to him, the damage to his body was very great, so his strength was also decreasing little by little.
At this rate, his body would collapse and fail in two months at most.
All I can say is that Quirrell is also a poor guy, both in the past and in the future.
Because Quirrell was a senior in Ravenclaw, Li Xuan heard other seniors in Ravenclaw talking about Quirrell.
Quirrell was initially a gifted but shy boy, but his shyness and nervousness caused him to be teased frequently at school.
Like most people who desire to be valued and respected, Quirrell felt his own shortcomings. In order to make himself stronger, he began to study black magic, of course, initially only on the theoretical level.
But black magic is a thing that tests people’s will all the time. If your will is not firm, it is easy to be infected. It’s like the saying goes, you are looking into the abyss, and the abyss is also looking at you!
Quirrell even fantasized that he could be the one who could track down Voldemort. Although he didn’t aspire to be someone like Harry Potter who defeated Voldemort, it would be good to be able to find Voldemort’s trace.
It would be great if I could learn more magical skills from Voldemort, so that I would never be laughed at again.
Maybe it is true that if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response?
Not only did he find Voldemort’s trace and learn more magical skills, but he was also able to become one with Voldemort. You are in me and I am in you. Isn’t this a close enough relationship?
Except for Harry Potter who defeated Voldemort, no one else should be able to reach this level!
As long as Quirrell announces this matter, he will definitely become the most handsome and the most eye-catching kid in the wizarding world!
Unfortunately, this is completely impossible.
Chapter 71: Industries in the Technological World (3/3) (Old Version)
Today is Saturday. I have been in Hogwarts for a week without realizing it. It seems that nothing has changed. However, the weekend is not a real holiday for Li Xuan.
“Thanks a lot!”
Li Xuan took the letter off Snow Owl’s feet, opened the door to the small world, and let it go in to play with the Pu Rongrongs. For some reason, the relationship between Pu Rongrong and Snow Owl was extremely good.
This letter was sent by Guy Enoch, Li Xuan’s subordinate in the Technology World Company. Due to the inconvenience of communication, Li Xuan told the other party before entering Hogwarts that every Saturday and Sunday, Li Xuan would ask Xue Xiao to go to him and ask him to prepare things and give them to Xue Xiao to bring to him.
First there was a letter, which roughly summarized that there were no major problems and all industries were developing steadily.
In addition to this letter, there was also a small object similar to a USB flash drive. It was actually still ten years before the USB flash drive was invented.
However, Li Xuan took into consideration that he would enter Hogwarts, where there would be no Internet and information transmission would be inconvenient, so Li Xuan took the lead in asking them to research and develop this little thing.
There are no computers in Hogwarts, so Li Xuan has to enter the villa in the small world. There is a generator in the small world, so there is no shortage of electricity.
I turned on that old big-butt computer, inserted the USB drive, opened the folder and started looking.
In fact, there is nothing good to see, mainly some data. Li Xuan now has quite a few industries under his control, including the farms and ranches, as well as the winery, which he bought at the beginning for the development of the small world.
Later on, technology companies, arms companies, food companies, department stores, large hotels and restaurants, as well as some miscellaneous small industries were gradually added.
The farm, ranch and winery were bought by Li Xuan in the beginning in order to have a legitimate reason to buy plants and animals for the small world. After all, in this world, it is better to do things with a thick skin.
As for the technology company, Li Xuan relied on his experience in his previous life to come up with some products and asked his subordinates to develop them. This technology company integrates R&D and production.
As for the arms companies, those who understand will understand, so there is no need for Li Xuan to say more. In Western democratic countries, if you only have money but no armed forces to protect yourself, you are really a big fat pig.
Even though Li Xuan himself is very powerful, he is only one person and cannot handle everything in two places. Moreover, if he, the big boss, has to deal with every little trouble, then what is the point of having these subordinates? It would be too uncool.
Also, the purpose of establishing your own company is to let others serve you, not to make yourself a firefighter. You have to be clear about your positioning.
Food companies are established to process the output of their own farms and ranches. There is no future in just selling raw materials. If you want to do it, you have to build an industrial chain. The department stores, big hotels and restaurants behind them are actually part of the industrial chain.
But these things are also for the service of Li Xuan. Just look at the inventory in the warehouse in Li Xuan’s small world.
Anyway, the number of people working directly in Li Xuan Company has reached 100,000, of which the armed company has the largest number, 20,000, accounting for one-fifth.
Don’t ask why there are so many people, the reason is because they have a fear of insufficient firepower.
If it weren’t for the fact that Li Xuan had only been in the industry for a short time, and that he was a Donghuang person with black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin, he would have planned to get involved in the weapons industry.
Otherwise, spending money on buying weapons like this all the time would be a huge expense, and it would be easy to be strangled by others.
As for where Li Xuan got his initial initial capital, there are always some wealthy “kind-hearted people” in the world who are willing to give a chance to young people like Li Xuan who have goals, plans and are willing to work hard.
There are so many rich people in the world, and not all of them have a conscience, so with the help of the Innate Five Elements Tower, Li Xuan naturally saved up enough original capital easily.
It is difficult for people to find money, but money finding money is like a snowball, once it reaches a certain scale, it will get bigger and bigger.
Especially in the area of ​​big hotels, in this pre-globalization era, Li Xuan found some Donghuang chefs and improved some of the dishes. His restaurant and hotel business has since flourished.
The same is true for food companies and department stores. The output of their farms and ranches is not enough, so they purchase most of their products from outside.
After all, Donghuang cuisine can really conquer the whole world. Li Xuan, who has experienced the era of information explosion, knows how great the charm of Donghuang cuisine is.
Especially in a place like England where the cuisine is more unrestrained, Donghuang cuisine is an absolute killer and no one can resist it!
Among the eight major cuisines, there is always one that suits your taste. No one can escape the whirlpool of Donghuang cuisine.
Shandong cuisine is characterized by salty and fresh food, exquisite cooking time, and is good at making soups and seafood. Sichuan cuisine makes good use of spicy seasoning. Anhui cuisine emphasizes oil, color, and heat, and is good at roasting, stewing, and steaming. Cantonese cuisine is carefully selected ingredients, clear but not bland, fresh but not vulgar, tender but not raw, and oily but not greasy, etc.
In any case, in just one year, Li Xuan has opened twenty branches, not only in England, but also in other countries in Europe.
If there were not enough reserve chefs, there might be more than twenty. But this is enough for now. After all, Li Xuan’s grand restaurant and grand hotel are expanded simultaneously, and there are corresponding security personnel.
Chapter 72 Small World Production (Additional chapters for 1,000 rewards) (Old version)
Li Xuan stayed in the small world for a whole day. After dealing with industrial matters in the morning, he also solved the problem of lunch in the small world.
It’s like cooking a special meal for himself, with stir-fried farm meat, lemon duck, fried shrimps, and garlic lettuce. Don’t think that Li Xuan can’t finish it all by himself, there are also magical beasts to eat.
It was a rare opportunity to have free time, so after lunch break, Li Xuan would play and frolic with the magical animals, and even become their cook.
I got a whole roasted pig for the fire dragon and a super big roasted fish for the birds and snakes. The little nifflers, cattails and snowy owls just had to eat the food from the birds and snakes and the fire dragon. With their small bodies, they couldn’t eat much.
Neither Bowtruckle nor Billywig is in the villa area, so Li Xuan doesn’t need to worry.
After eating and drinking, Li Xuan took the magical animals to exercise, which was actually to organize and harvest some of the outputs of the small world.
For example, the bees’ honey needs to be harvested, and some fruits and vegetables are ripe and need to be picked and preserved.
After a busy afternoon, Li Xuan took a shower before coming out of the small world. If Li Xuan did not have supreme authority in the small world and could solve many things with just a thought, who knows how long it would take.
He didn’t show up at noon, so Li Xuan had to go to the auditorium to show up in the evening, otherwise he would be listed as a missing person if he was not seen all day.
If it was an ordinary little wizard, naturally no one would pay attention to him, but Li Xuan’s situation was different, so fame can be both good and bad.
Along the way, Li Xuan greeted the little wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, as well as some little wizards from Gryffindor.
As for Slytherin?
It’s good enough not to cause trouble for Li Xuan, but they also hope that the other party will be friendly to them. That would simply be making things difficult for these fat tigers.
Perhaps it was because Li Xuan arrived late, he did not see Penelope at the long table in Ravenclaw. Li Xuan also figured out Penelope’s meal time, and she basically came on time, so she was one of the earliest to eat.
Seeing Li Xuan, Hermione happily stretched out her hand and waved to him continuously. It is naturally more fun to eat with someone familiar.
“Li Xuan, what’s in your basket?”
Seeing Li Xuan sitting down in Gryffindor, our Fred and George also sat down next to him and asked curiously.
As for taking possession of or snatching it away, the two of them still know their limits and will not do such disgusting things. After all, it is the other person’s thing and they can ask and look at it, but they will not take possession of it unless they get the owner’s permission.
So even though Fred and George usually play a lot of pranks, they have high emotional intelligence and IQ, and they are good at dealing with people, so no one hates them, and they are even very popular.
After all, who could resist such an interesting friend?
“These are some grapes I received today. There are quite a few of them. I was afraid they might go bad, so I shared them with everyone to taste!”
Li Xuan opened the huge bamboo basket in his hand. Inside was crystal clear grapes that looked like emerald green emeralds. Each grape was half the size of a ping-pong ball, with residual water droplets on it. They looked even better under the light.
He took out a bunch of them, took a white porcelain plate from the dining table and placed it on top, then handed the basket to Fred and said, “Fred, you and George can take it and share it with everyone else.”
Everyone has become immune to the fact that Li Xuan can recognize Fred and George, because during this period of time, Fred and George would look for Li Xuan from time to time, trying to confuse the two of them.
As a result, none of them were successful. After trying several times, they finally gave up and found that Li Xuan could really recognize both of them.
However, they did not feel very discouraged or upset. On the contrary, they were quite happy. After all, few people could recognize them separately.
Even their parents, brothers and sisters, teachers and classmates may recognize them once or twice out of ten, but there is a lot of luck involved.
It’s because they have a good relationship, don’t mind, and are naturally cheerful. Otherwise, if it were some sensitive children, they would easily get stuck in a rut.
The two men happily took the basket to ‘divide the spoils’. Li Xuan didn’t need to intervene in this. He was confident in what they did. Although they might give him more, it wouldn’t be too much.
Secondly, they will not only include Gryffindor students, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students will not be left out. After all, the two of them have social adeptness and have friends all over Hogwarts.
Of course, a certain guard said that he would rather die than become friends with those two disgusting Weasleys!
After Li Xuan sat down, Neville helped him pour his favorite orange juice, and Hermione helped him get the plates and forks. Li Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly, wondering when did he become a young master who didn’t need to do anything.
Looking at Hermione again, as long as she stays on a certain food for more than three seconds, it will definitely appear on her plate in the next second.
“I’ll do it myself. You guys try this sunshine grape. It’s very sweet and has a unique rose fragrance.”
Li Xuan said to Hermione and the others with a smile, then picked up the tongs and put food on the plate: fried eggs, bacon, pork chops. There were sandwiches tonight, so he’d have one, and some pea sprouts.
After hearing what Li Xuan said, Hermione and Neville didn’t do anything else. They picked a grape and took a bite. It was sweet and juicy, with that refreshing sweetness, not a bit of sourness, and it really had the scent of rose that Li Xuan said.
The two kids’ eyes lit up in surprise, and they ate several more in a row. However, because they had just eaten, they couldn’t eat any more after a few more. No matter how greedy they were, it was useless as their stomachs were too full and bloated.
They regretted eating too much, but they didn’t know that Li Xuan would bring grapes.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Xuan could only cut the remaining grapes in half and let them take them back to eat later.
Don’t think it’s a small amount. Li Xuan’s bunch of grapes weighs four or five kilograms, so it’s not a small amount.
Over there, Fred and George took the Sunshine Rose grapes and started to divide them. Since Li Xuan’s grapes had been washed, they could be eaten directly after being divided.
I have to say that the taste of Li Xuan’s grapes conquered everyone. Although due to the number of people, everyone could only get a few, the taste was so delicious.
That’s natural. This is the product of Li Xuan’s small world. He found it this afternoon when he was tidying up the small world. As the output is quite large, Li Xuan is not stingy and shares it with everyone. Happiness is better shared with everyone than happiness alone!
