I'm Really an Alchemist

Chapter 456 Chapter 97 Barty Crouch Jr.

The professors were all speechless by Zhou Qi's move.

The last time they saw the power of arcane arts was the blizzard duel between Zhou Qi and Snape two years ago. That wonderful magic duel was an eye-opener for them, but it was still within the scope of their understanding.

And now,

Whether it is the growth of vines or giant trees, it is beyond their comprehension.

It's not that magic can't do this, but it's impossible to be as easy and simple as Zhou Qi, who can freely control the growth of plants without magic rituals or material assistance.

Is this the power of arcane magic?

Although the professors at Hogwarts have recognized Muggle magic, they inevitably have a little pride in their hearts. They treat arcane magic with the mentality that they are the orthodox magic.

Now that they saw Zhou Qi's magic, they could no longer retain the pride in their hearts. Even their best and most powerful field was surpassed by a Muggle who had only studied magic for four years.

What pride is there? !

Everyone lost expression on their faces, and returned to the castle in silence. They quietly looked at the others, and found that only Professor Snape and Tom Riddle had unchanged expressions, as if they had known the true strength of Professor Ivan.

Maybe we are the only ones kept in the dark.

The professor's mentality changed slightly.

After Zhou Qizhan showed his skills, he didn't stay idle. He asked the deans of other colleges to go back and think about it, customize the study plan of the college, and find out the advantages and disadvantages of their own college. It is up to them to decide whether to streamline the curriculum or keep it unchanged.

Zhou Qi had already buried the seeds of change in the soil.

Hogwarts was also affected subtly, but they just didn't know it. This time when the veil was lifted, the professors suddenly realized.

After the acting principal left, the dull atmosphere eased up.

The professors either smiled wryly or pondered. They gathered together and discussed a lot. They were afraid of the power of the arcane and resisted the reform of the academy system. During their discussion, when Snape was about to leave, Tom Riddle find it.

"Professor Snape."

Tom Riddle walked quickly beside him, and said familiarly: "Let's cooperate!"

Snape stopped and looked at the young Dark Lord expressionlessly.

"I also graduated from Slytherin, so I naturally want to stand on Slytherin's side." Tom Riddle smiled lightly: "No matter from which point of view, our cooperation is the most beneficial."

"Both bloodline warlocks and necromancers involve biological genes, we can bring Slytherin to a higher stage!"

Tom Riddle smiled brightly: "You don't have to worry about embarrassment, I don't have Voldemort's memory, and I'm not your former boss—you can treat me as a new individual."

Snape looked at the laughing young man indifferently.

Of course he didn't care if the other party was Voldemort's young body, he was just thinking about the necessity of cooperation.

In the end, he nodded and walked with Tom Riddle, who had a bright smile, to discuss the path of Slytherin's innovation.

...

Krum returned to his residence with the books and props for the start of school.

He didn't live at home, but lived in the wizard's bar a month in advance, where he bought books for the start of school while waiting for the start of school.

This year's Durmstrang is very difficult. The school is approaching, and the wizarding street is not as lively as in previous years. Only a few students come to buy books and props, and they are often stared at.

Krum was treated kindly for being the Quidditch World Cup champion, but the other students were not so lucky.

He also heard that this year's freshmen are only one-fifth of the previous ones, and wizards would rather keep their children at home to educate themselves than send them to Durmstrang, where tuition is free.

Krum pushed open the door, his body froze suddenly.

There was an extra stranger in the room with his back turned to him.

The stranger turned around, and it was a sombre wizard. He looked at Krum with a half-smile, opened his sleeves, and left a dark eight-eyed spider tattoo on his arm.

He also has a tattoo like this.

This is the logo of the Death Eaters.

Krum closed the door, stared at the strange Death Eater, and growled, "Get out, I'm no longer a Death Eater!"

"You think you are not, but do other people think so?" The wizard smiled disdainfully: "Don't be naive, do you really think that you can change everything by winning the Quidditch championship? No, you just Changed myself!"

Krum's pupils narrowed slightly.

The wizard continued: "I'm here to change the lives of Death Eaters, Krum, do you really want to see your friends and school cast aside, do you really want to see your family never lift their heads?"

He took out a bottle of potion from his cuff and put it on the table.

"As long as you can help us, it is possible to change all of this, make those who look down on us look up to us again, and let the pure-blood family return to its proper status."

"What is this?" Krum's eyes fell on the potion.

"A special potion." The wizard explained with a sneer: "It's not poisonous, it only has one effect. It will remind people of the darkest and painful memories. As long as Harry Potter takes it, he can return to the Dark Lord." .”

"At that time, we will return to the top!"

Seeing the change in Krum's expression, he explained the matter of the Triwizard Tournament. Krum will go to Hogwarts with the Triwizard Tournament, and then he will have a chance to get close to Harry Potter.

The wizard put the potion on the table and said with a low smile, "Think carefully, Krum."

After the words fell, he pushed the door and walked out.

Krum looked at the potion standing on the table and fell into pain. He thought of the day of the Quidditch World Cup. If it wasn't for Harry Potter's encouragement, he might not be able to overcome his demons and win the game.

But at this time, the gratitude to Harry Potter was entangled with the honor of the family, which made him extremely painful.

Outside the door, the wizard sat in the tavern listening to the movement in the house.

The Death Eaters have learned to be smart. They will not put their hope in the hands of a single person. As long as they can get close to Harry Potter, they have tried their best to contact them. As long as one person succeeds, the Dark Lord will return.

It would be best if Krum was willing to cooperate, and if not, they couldn't let Krum sabotage their plans.

soon--

Krum came out of the room and sat opposite the wizard. His eyes were red, and he had already experienced the effects of the potion himself.

Seeing his determination, the wizard smiled with satisfaction.

.....

Newt walked into the bright office.

The office room was full of files, materials and newspapers, and the old wizard with the white beard leaned tiredly on the chair.

"Professor, take a rest."

Newt held a bottle of chilled Sour Sour and handed it to Dumbledore.

This office is a separate office opened by the Magic Council, specially prepared for Dumbledore. He can transfer the materials, secret files and staff of the Magic Council to investigate Grindelwald and target the Deathly Hallows society.

Perhaps, as some members of the Magic Congress guessed, Grindelwald was afraid of Dumbledore. Since Dumbledore came to New York, he and the Deathly Hallows Society have never been heard.

Dumbledore took his favorite sour soda.

"Gellert is by no means a person who would give up so easily. He is hiding in the southern part of America, which is also an area where the Magic Council is weak. But the strange thing is that there is no unusual news from the southern part."

Dumbledore took a sip of his soda and felt a headache.

"Maybe he left America," Newt guessed. "Will he take advantage of this time to quietly return to Europe?"

Dumbledore shook his head and suddenly laughed.

"It would be interesting if he returned to Europe... There are more dangerous people there. I even wonder if Gellert was released by him?"

"Who?" Newt wondered, what kind of person could get such a high evaluation from Dumbledore.

He and his wife hid in America during the Death Eaters Rebellion last year. They only learned about Voldemort's demise and the establishment of the Devil's League in the newspapers, but they didn't know anything about what happened in Europe.

Dumbledore didn't answer.

He stared at the ceiling in silence, not knowing what was going on at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall hadn't sent a message for so long, which made him very worried.

It's just that Grindelwald's matter has not been resolved, and the white wizard can't get away and go back.

You can only think in a good direction.

Outside the office, there were wizards passing by and looking inside the door curiously. They were very interested in this legendary white wizard.

But soon, someone in charge stepped forward and drove away these colleagues from the Magic Congress, preventing them from disturbing the work and rest of the white wizard.

After these young wizards returned to work, they discussed Dumbledore and Grindelwald enthusiastically.

Since Dumbledore appeared, Grindelwald has disappeared without a trace, which makes the Magic Council feel safe, wishing that Dumbledore would often live in New York in the future.

During the discussion, a young wizard got up to make coffee.

On the way, he passed by the cleaner, stuffed a roll of paper into the cleaner's sleeve, and then returned to his colleagues with coffee. The cleaner returned to the cleaning room with a mop and took out the paper from the sleeve. Scroll, which records the actions of the Aurors and the next move of the Magic Council.

"For the greater good."

The cleaner shredded the scroll, looked at himself in the mirror, breathed into the mirror, and reached out to draw the figure of the Deathly Hallows.

...

The day before Hogwarts starts.

Sitting in the office, Zhou Qi watched the college system innovation report submitted by Snape. In the report, Head Slytherin cooperated with the former Dark Lord to completely reform the entire college.

First of all, in terms of learning content, Slytherin retained five subjects, with Mathematics, Biochemistry and Three Cannabis knowledge as the fundamental subjects, interspersed with the brand new courses submitted by Snape - necromancy and wizard blood.

As for other compulsory courses such as potions, herbs, spells, and flying, all were discarded, and no elective courses were left.

Zhou Qi gave each dean the right to change, and they could even change the Hogwarts house point system that has been passed down for thousands of years. In fact, Zhou Qi wanted to abolish the house point system a long time ago. Extremely stupid.

Snape thought so too.

He redefines Slytherin's house points, subdividing the house points into individuals. Each student has a fixed score when entering the school. The points can be exchanged for materials and knowledge from the professor. Only by completing the corresponding learning content can the score be increased.

Tom Riddle even made a detailed supplement. He customized a new competition rule for Slytherin - complete meditation in one month, construct conversion models in three months, construct two spell models in six months, and construct at least four spell models in a year. Spell model.

This is the bottom line of the competition. If you meet this standard, you are considered qualified. If you fail to meet the standard, the next year's college branch will be halved.

And if this standard is exceeded, the halved college points will be added to him.

Wolf competition to the extreme.

Realize the development route that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker—if you don’t redouble your efforts, you will be unable to catch up with the former due to the attenuation of resources.

Zhou Qi put down the innovation report of Slytherin, and picked up the report of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. These two colleges are too conservative, basically unchanged from the previous year, but the elective courses have been reduced .
