People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning..

Chapter 271 [Zi Mu River] is at Hogwarts

"Diana Montgomery."

"Hufflepuff!"

(There is only one mention in the novel, but it still exists in the background of the movie world, making Ron unable to help but admire the beautiful Montgomery sisters in front of Hermione and exclaim, "Dane, he is a girl in this world!" "But he, our brother is only 3 years old now!")
Harry and the other two did not recognize her.

Just because as the name was read out, Professor McGonagall put away the list.

The sorting ceremony is over.

The Sorting Hat and the bench automatically lifted off the ground and hung steadily in the air. It was as if there was an invisible rein between them and Professor McGonagall, following her out of the hall.

("This is spell card magic again, it's so easy and convenient, no gestures, spells, or wand assistance, just a thought." Dumbledore sighed, "Perhaps the magic in this world is the most suitable for us. The magic in the fairy world is too profound, and most of it relies on gods and spell spirits. Our world doesn't have these.")
After a while, she returned to her seat.

Then at Dumbledore's command, the banquet began.

The air was decorated with many floating candles as usual, and the plates were piled with food; yellow pumpkin juice with ice cubes appeared out of thin air in the golden cups; salt, vinegar, gravy, and various sauces adorned the gaps between the plates and cups.
("What's that?" Ron asked, pointing at a small dish of what looked like sausage on almost every other wizard's plate.)
(Some wizards who believe in like cures like have already figured this out.)
Harry and the other two also wanted to ask this question at this moment.

Because apart from the witches at the Hufflepuff table, most of whom were grunting at the food in front of them, most of the witches at the other tables looked at them with mischievous eyes, as well as the sliced ​​sausage-like things on their plates.

But Percy and other wizards looked humiliated and began to swallow them in small bites.

"Is it unpalatable?" Harry forked a piece and put it in his mouth. "It's really delicious. This is -"

After the thing was swallowed down the throat, a warm current spread from the stomach and then went straight down to an indescribable place.

"You feel it, right?" Neville smiled bitterly. "Dragon Whip, a dish created by the famous pharmacist witch Pollach by combining it with potion science. It is aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying, and is very good for the magic and fertility of wizards."

(Many viewers who love potions are surprised that Libasho Pollach is also a witch in this world?)
(In the dragon farm, the dragon trainer began to look at the male fire dragon unconsciously and began to ponder.)
(Dumbledore looked solemn, "Aphrodisiac? I hope the dragons in this world will not become extinct because of this.")
(In order to enhance sexual performance, humans have exterminated too many species.)
(Even mummies, which were considered aphrodisiacs, were almost completely eaten.)
Neville pointed to the other dishes, "These are also the dishes she created, a combination of potion science and cooking - magic meals, all for the benefit of wizards."

("Interesting," Dumbledore, who had read the information in Furong's Magic Book, touched his chin, "Does this world's potions also combine cooking like the magic fairy world?")
(Snape looked at the sausages on the plate. Could it be that cooking is the direction of the development of potions?)

"Are they all aphrodisiacs?" Harry was surprised and took a piece of Fire Dragon Whip to calm himself down.

Krum and Cedric had already finished eating.

(Countless viewers cast envious glances, saying they wanted to eat it, or give it to their partners.)
(Qiu Zhang’s face turned red with anger. In the other world, which bitch was he going to use this for? That Qiu Zhang?)

Hearing this, the two of them quickly put their knives and forks towards other food.

Although Neville looked miserable, he did not stop eating. "They are not as effective as the fire dragon whip in front of us."

Krum and Cedric slowed down their eating.

Neville sighed, "If I could eat Dragon Whip for every meal every day, I could recover easily even if I was blocked in an empty classroom by a group of witches and humiliated and drained of my magic power."

"Unfortunately, it's only available during the start of school and holiday banquets."

"Do they eat the same thing?" Krum had time to ask questions after he had finished eating.

"Of course not." Neville shook his head, "Only wizards eat magic meals."

"But isn't the status of wizards very low?" Cedric asked.

"Humph!" Percy, who was busy eating, sneered, "The cows in high-end dairy farms are also fed with concentrated feed."

"From the perspective of those witches, there are so few wizards. How can there be enough if they are not given supplements?"

The atmosphere suddenly grew cold, and for a moment the only sound left was the sound of knife and fork hitting the plate.

until
"Hello, gentlemen, why do you look so listless? Why don't you smile?" An illusory milky white head popped out from under the table.

(Nearly Headless Nick appears in the auditorium in the same manner, "Great, I'm still a man in this world!")
Its occurrence is not an isolated case.

Countless equally milky white, illusory figures passed through the walls and the floor and came into the auditorium.

(The appearance of the ghost broke the expectations of some viewers, who thought that this world would have a different and easier-to-learn way to live forever than the fairy world.)
"Hello, Nick." Percy forced a smile, and then he introduced Harry and the others as "Sir Nicholas, the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower. You can just call him Nick."

Nico nodded dignifiedly. "Very good, Percy. You are much more polite than your two sisters."

Cedric noticed that not only Nick, but also the Fat Friar and the Bloody Baron, who were the resident ghosts of Hufflepuff and Slytherin respectively, were lingering at the long table on the wizards' side instead of going to the long table on their school side.

(Many viewers who noticed the same thing sighed. It seems that the male-female conflict in this world has spread to ghosts.)
And Harry asked directly.

Nick looked angry. "I'm not going back until wizards can be sorted and resume the nine-year education system."

"Me too." The fat monk nodded.

The Bloody Baron said nothing, but made his position clear as well.

"Recover?" Percy licked the residue on the plate and sneered, "It won't be too long, maybe tomorrow." (Ministry of Magic, Fifth Floor - Department of International Magical Cooperation, Percy didn't pay attention to the words of his other self. He frowned, "Licking the plate, why am I like this?")
(A colleague shrugged, "This is normal. This is a magic meal, right? And you were held back because of your magic power. It shows that every bite is important to you.")
(“Tomorrow?” Some viewers were surprised. With such confidence, could it be that the key to this mission is really related to Percy Weasley?)
Harry and the others also thought of this.

Following the eyes of the other two, Krum, who was the first to meet Percy in this world and was considered to have the best relationship with Percy, asked casually, "Tomorrow? In this case, there must be something wrong with the Mother and Child River."

Harry agreed, "I feel like we won't be able to rise as long as it's there."

"It?" It was Neville who spoke, "It's in Hogwarts, the safest place in the world."

"Putting this kind of thing in school?" Cedric was a little confused.

What’s the difference between this and selling condoms and having sex rooms in schools?
"After all, its inventor was Phineas Nigellus Black, the former headmaster of Hogwarts."

(Phineas Nigellus Black? Many viewers who knew the headmaster's history couldn't believe their ears.)
(He was the most unpopular headmaster in the school's history. He attached great importance to bloodline and always had a grudge against Muggle-borns, calling them "mudbloods". Although he restrained himself after becoming the headmaster, it is hard to believe that he would have achieved such success.)
(Just because of the change of gender?)
(Sirius Black, the great-great-grandson of the headmaster, immediately ran to the family library and read the biography of Phineas Nigellus Black.)
(But after a quick scan, except for the new knowledge that his brother Sirius died when he was eight years old, everything else is consistent with Sirius's understanding of him.)
Harry and the other two also knew who this person was.

But they suppressed their surprise, and Harry asked, "Hogwarts? The [Zi Mu River] is still a river, after all. Where is such a big thing?"

"Everywhere," said Neville.

("What?" Professor McGonagall couldn't hold it in any longer. "I absolutely do not recognize this as Hogwarts.")
(Students come to school to learn magic, not to have babies!)
"The Black Lake, the underground river, the water vapor in the air, it can be said that all the 'water' in Hogwarts is the [Mother and Child River]."

Harry and the other two quickly put down their cups.

(Dumbledore became serious. Could it be that the magic item that could transform all the water in Hogwarts into the [Mother and Child River] was Hogwarts itself? Phineas Nigellus Black just added new functions to this ancient and powerful magical fortification, which made sense.)
(After all, although Phineas is excellent, he has never shown the potential to create a product that influences an era in history.)
Neville continued, "The liquid one is the [Mother River], and the gaseous one is the [Daughter River]. The [Daughter River] is the most difficult to collect, and it is easy to turn into the [Mother River] during the collection process."

"But if you want them to work, you need two wizards to drink the [Son River] and [Mother River] respectively and activate them with a secret magic at the same time."

"This magic can only be known by witches of appropriate age. You need to apply to the Ministry of Magic, and you need to seal the memory of this spell after using it."

("Why is it sealed, not cancelled?" Dumbledore was still thinking.)
(Thinking of what Neville said about being everywhere, could it be that the [Zi Mu River] has already expanded to the entire earth along with the circulation of water?)
(This may be to prevent it from being lost in war, or simply to prevent wizards.)
"Bloodline potion," Cedric said.

"What are you talking about?" Neville didn't understand what Cedric meant.

Percy's expression turned serious. "You mean?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Cedric nodded.

"What do you mean?" Neville demanded.

"Just like how the blood potion of the Salem witches spread across the world along with the water veins, causing all wizards in the future to become modern wizards, the [Zi Mu River] might have also flowed across the world and infected all water sources." Cedric broke out in sweat on his forehead.

"This means that as long as a witch knows the spell and how to collect the [Zihe], she can still conceive even on the other side of the world."

"No." Harry shook his head. "The principle is different. The bloodline potion affects people. It transforms people directly from the source."

("How does Harry know the principles are different?" Ron frowned.)
("Stupid," Ginny snapped, "because if that's what Cedric thinks, then the mission is void.")
("Under these circumstances, Voldemort cannot destroy the Mother and Child River at all.")
(Hermione touched her chin, "It's still possible. Perhaps there is another prop that can restore the [Zi Mu River] to water. As long as the source is destroyed and this prop keeps working, Voldemort can eventually achieve his goal.")
"The outward diffusion effect of the [Zi Mu River] is water, and the energy that causes conception will decay as it moves."

"As long as the magic item that radiates the water veins in the castle and turns them into the [Mother and Child River] is destroyed, the remaining [Mother and Child River] will be nothing but a rootless source."

"That's it," Percy ended the conversation.

He actually thought of a possibility, that the Zimu River completely changed the structure of the water and replaced all the water in a hundred years.

But he didn't dare to think about it, because it meant that the chances of the wizard defeating the witch were reduced again.

The banquet came to an end.

Dumbledore stood up and said, "Now that everyone has eaten and drunk, let me talk about some serious topics."

"As everyone in this hall knows, Voldemort and his followers are at it again, and growing in power."

The witch fell silent for a moment, and the wizards lowered their heads, suppressing their joy.

"I need to emphasize that the current situation is extremely dangerous, and everyone at Hogwarts needs to be extremely cautious to ensure their own safety."

"The castle's magical defenses were strengthened during the summer vacation. We have received new and more effective protection, but every one of us teachers and students must still be vigilant at all times and not let our guard down at all."

"Therefore, I ask you to strictly abide by every safety rule set by the teacher, and don't suffer lifelong regrets for the sake of momentary pleasure - especially the rule that you must not get up and go out after the specified time."

“I remember that we don’t have to be the hunter, we can also be the prey.”

"I urge you to report any unusual or suspicious situations to the faculty immediately, whether inside or outside the school. I believe that you will restrain your behavior for the safety of yourself and others."

Dumbledore's blue eyes swept over all the students, pausing for a long time on the wizards in particular.

"Well, your beds are waiting for you, as warm and comfortable as you wish. I know your top priority now is to get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's classes. So, let's say goodnight."
