Hogwarts Study Panel

Chapter 262: Invitation
Poor information.

This is a problem that all wizards will face in battle.

Sheen's youthful appearance always makes this point very effective.

In the event of a full-scale outbreak, Sheen, who possesses master-level polymorphism, the ability to simultaneously cast two spells, and the power to instantly cast silent dark magic, is capable of suppressing elite Aurors for a short period of time.

Pretty much as he expected.

However, his shortcomings are also obvious. He has been exposed to magic for too short a time and does not have enough magical power to support these powerful spells.

He then had two choices.

Waiting for magical power to increase with age—a wizard's magical power grows stronger with the accumulation of years.

Or it could be to improve one's mastery of magic.

When it comes to magic, the higher the proficiency, the easier it is to cast spells, and the less energy it consumes for the wizard.

Sheen thought:
A [Master] level magical transformation should be barely sufficient for use.

For the next few days, Sheen was always training for duels with Marcus.

Marcus also discovered the little wizard's problem.

His spellcasting time was so long that he had enough time to cast several disarming spells.

At this point, the young wizard could only use the spell to stop the attack, and subsequent spells became ineffective attacks.

But what's terrifying is that after he discovered this, the young wizard began casting Curse Stop while simultaneously performing Polymorph.

He soon suffered another major setback.

When he began to unleash a torrent of spells to stop the young wizard from casting a long-lasting transfiguration spell, Sheen once again did something unexpected.

Sheen abandoned the idea of ​​unleashing powerful magic and instead used a simple polymorph to force him to unleash the Ironclad Charm, which also required some preparation time.

It's fair to say that Marcus had never seen a young wizard react so quickly. He had a very high level of mastery over his magic, which allowed him to create many different types of variations.

Through such practical training, Sheen also grasped the limits of his abilities.

I also deeply realized that I still lack a lot in Transfiguration.

……

It has been a month since Fairy Tale Square last opened.

The news that has been making headlines these past few days has filled the entire British magical community.

The Witcher Weekly was staking out the location, hoping to capture even a glimpse of the mysterious alchemist from behind.

There were many curious witches in the wizarding world waiting, and Mrs. Weasley naturally joined the wave.

“Mom is more concerned about that alchemist, Hitler, than Gilderoy Lockhart... Oh, he's a celebrity, Mom admires him a lot.”

Ron had always stayed with Harry when he first visited the Burrow. Now Ron was picking up a book whose cover had the following words in gold lettering:

Gilderoy Lockhart teaches you how to get rid of household pests.

Below the book title is a large photograph of a very handsome wizard with wavy blond hair and bright blue eyes. In the magical world, photographs are animated, and this wizard in the picture is winking at them.

"Is it that alchemist who might be at Hogwarts?"

Harry asked, bewildered.

"It's not just possible! I mean, it's very likely."

Ron's face turned bright red, and he finally managed to utter a few words.

Harry gave him a strange look, just in time to see the Daily Prophet delivered by owl.

As they opened the envelope, Ron whispered to Harry:
Are you still planning to go back?

His implication was quite clear.

“I have to go back,” Harry said after a moment of silence.

“We’ll help, remember? Justin wrote that he’s investigating those bastards… your uncle’s family.”

don’t worry."

Ron soothed.

Harry's eyes welled up with tears when he said he would help.

Ron realized he had been too talkative, so he quickly took the Daily Prophet from the owl's claws.

"Take a look at the newspaper; maybe they'll invite you..."

The newspaper featured the same shop, and the same tall, slender figure of the young wizard was seen at the shop entrance.

Ron always felt a strange excitement whenever he saw it—he knew a secret that most wizards didn't.

The only regrettable thing is that he hasn't collected the Chocolate Frog card yet; its probability of appearing seems to be even lower than the probability of "King Arthur" appearing in the Strange Wizard Chess game.

Below the newspaper photo was a line of bold text:
[An unprecedented invitation system! Is it hype or is it real?]

This brought Harry back to his senses, and he looked over with some curiosity. He thought it was a questioning of the unique way this shop sold its products, but it turned out to be all praise.

Rita, the witch with the long, wavy hair, blew this system to the skies.

According to her, receiving an invitation from this shop proves that you have a certain strength and status in the magical world; otherwise, you are just a figurehead.

Such boasting stunned a large group of wizards. But when Rita listed the names of those who had received invitations, the wizards fell into deep thought.

Albus Dumbledore, Nick Flamel...

Importantly, the two wizards did not refuse, but accepted the invitation.

Everyone knows that this is tacit approval.

This further fueled the wizards' already excited mood.

Unfortunately, this shop invites customers using paper airplanes.

They don't even give people the opportunity to buy qualifications with Galleons.

Perhaps it really is as that report says, that only wizards of a certain status can obtain it.

afternoon.

The cobblestone pavement was bathed in a warm glow, and the brick walls of the shops were scorching hot. Outside Florin's Ice Cream Shop, a few empty tables and chairs stood, with only a parasol dozing gently in the breeze.

Not far from Florin's Ice Cream Shop, a group of extraordinary wizards had already gathered.

The Weasley twins, looking at the not-so-large group of wizards in the Trick Room, suddenly seemed to understand what Sheen meant by "it doesn't affect anything".

Sheen had arrived at the shop quite early; it had been completely renovated and transformed.

A door carved from a single piece of ebony wood stood quietly, its brass door knocker shaped like a coiled ouroboros.

The glass cases that were lying flat were stood up, and behind each glass case was a lifelike image of a magical animal.

Sheen was waiting for Professor Terra's arrival when the Daily Prophet arrived, which he glanced at.

[An unprecedented invitation system! Is it hype or is it real?]

He looked down silently, somewhat puzzled when he saw the symbols of status and position.

The invitation system wasn't that complicated at all; it was just that fairytale cookies were produced in extremely low quantities and were always pre-ordered by alchemists and the Ministry of Magic before being released.

On the surface, there were seventy invitations, but in reality, no one knew the exact number of invitations sent out via paper airplanes.

Give Sheen enough flexible production time.

That is the ultimate goal.
