The years of welding at Hogwarts

Is there any special deeper meaning?

"Don't you know that this one-month training, even if it's just the simplest and most basic standing movement, contains the professors' profound meaning?"

Cedric looked at Jordan as if he were a fool, and that was indeed the case.

After ten days of magic posture training, Cedric can now feel the ownerless magic power floating in the external environment and the active elemental particles.

While standing in a magical posture, Cedric couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild. In just ten days, he even figured out how to use his own magic power to guide and control the external magic power into his own magic, and thereby enhance the power of magic.

Although the external magic power he can mobilize now is only a tiny bit, the increase in magic power is visible to the naked eye.

"Think about it yourself."

The final destination of their picnic was just a short distance ahead, and Cedric was too lazy to talk too much with Lee Jordan.

There are some things that the other party may not understand even if he explains them clearly. It is better to let him see the reality with his own eyes and then experience it.

At some point, the leader of the long dragon marching along the boulevard suddenly stopped, while the students at the back who were unaware of the situation continued to move forward.

When they stepped into the picnic area in the Forbidden Forest and saw the shocking scene on this open space that had just been cleared a few days ago, all the students seemed to be petrified. They all stood there in a daze without making any further movements.

In an area surrounded by thick steel bars, a group of ferocious wild boars with long and thick fangs are howling loudly in annoyance, digging the ground with their front hooves, or colliding and biting each other, as if using this method to relieve their inner irritability.

"Tebo Warthog..."

Amos Diggory's daily job at the Ministry of Magic is to deal with all kinds of magical creatures. As his son, Cedric naturally has a lot of knowledge about magical creatures.

"It is a 4X magical animal classified by the Ministry of Magic. Its strong wild boar skin can withstand the bombardment of the ultimate blast, and it can also become invisible to avoid the attacks of wizards..."

If Cedric's description alone is not enough to intuitively show the degree of danger of such a magical animal, then just talking about the glorious record of the Tebo Warthog will make it clear at a glance.

Before Cedric entered Hogwarts, there was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts named Robert Baratheon, who was killed by a tusk of a Teboro warthog.

This incident caused a great sensation in Hogwarts at the time. After all, Professor Robert was not a stuttering waste like Quirrell later. He was a powerful wizard with extremely high teaching level, full of charm and very popular among students.

In the more than ten years since Voldemort cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship, Hogwarts has had many Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

Among these professors who rotate like a revolving lantern, Robert Baratheon can be regarded as one of the best.

When they saw the Tebo warthogs locked in the fences, even though George and Fred were both big-hearted, the expressions on their faces froze for a long time before they relaxed.

So, this is what Instructor Barnes meant when he said that the house-elves are only responsible for preparing food for them?

All the ingredients are ready-made, lively and absolutely fresh.

But from catching to slaughtering, and then cutting them into sizes suitable for cooking, these students who have never even killed a chicken have to do it all by themselves, right?

It would be fine if these ingredients were just ordinary pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps and crabs, but what does it mean to put such a group of 4X-level high-risk magical animals in the paddock?

A single Te-Bo Warthog can kill a school professor alone. Isn't it just asking for death to put these students, who can hardly cast the Armor Protection Charm, into a fence to fight with a large group of Te-Bo Warthogs?

Although Professor Robert's death was largely due to his own reckless insistence on going into the Forbidden Forest for a hunt, and he drank too much liquor before entering the dangerous Forbidden Forest, which resulted in him being unable to exert even 30% of his powerful strength, which led to him being killed by the tusks of a T-Bo Warthog in the forest. His body was not found until two days later, when he had not attended the Care of Magical Creatures class for two consecutive days and had not returned to the castle hall for dinner, which alerted other professors in the school.

But this does not mean that the danger of the Tebo warthog can be underestimated.

It's not without reason that it's classified as 4X by the Ministry of Magic.

Lee Jordan curled his lips and said,

...I suddenly thought that we should go back the same way and catch some fish from the Black Lake to grill. That would be more reliable."

Having always been hanging out with the two most restless Weasley brothers, Lee Jordan was not an obedient and well-behaved student.

At the very least, it was like getting up late at night and sneaking out to go for a night walk, and having a barbecue in the forbidden forest which the principal had repeatedly forbidden students to enter without permission.

Although it's only the edge of the forbidden forest, it's dangerous enough.

He is capable of doing things like the Forbidden Forest Barbecue, let alone secretly using the Bubble Head Curse to dive to the bottom of the Black Lake to fish out those Black Lake hairy crabs after tasting the delicious crab roe soup dumplings.

The Weasley brothers, who were always fearless, rarely agreed with Jordan's opinion.

Just when a few people were considering whether to escape while many people had not arrived yet, Bucky Barnes, the devil instructor who had been cursed in the hearts of countless students during this period, also appeared in the paddock.

With his back to the paddock, without even turning his head, Bucky swung his fist with great force and hit the face of the Tebo warthog that was rushing towards the fence behind him, trying to break his kidneys with its tusks through the fence.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of bone cracking, students standing a little closer to the fence could see the broken fang, which drew a graceful parabola in the air and then fell into the fallen leaves covering the ground, blending into the environment and never to be found again.

The Tebo warthog, whose tusk was broken, whimpered and fled backwards, hiding in a corner of the fence farthest from Bucky, and never dared to come over again.

The neat and swift action made the students who witnessed this scene have high hopes for this future...

What the hell?

Why is such a powerful and cruel instructor just a professor teaching Muggle Studies?

Shouldn't he be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Oh sorry, shouldn't he be the professor of Magic Offense and Defense?

As for the eerie big black bat, the Batman of Hogwarts, the patrolling dark knight who guards the castle at night, Severus Snape, it is better to let him quietly dedicate himself to his position as the professor of Potions.

This is the voice of all Gryffindor students present.

After the students who were on their way behind had gradually arrived, Bucky slowly spoke, "This is the food you can use for your picnic at noon today."

As he spoke, Bucky knocked on the fence with his metal arm. The special stainless steel left over from the former Soviet Union and the rebar that made up the fence collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

The authority established during these ten days was such that even though the students were full of opinions and complaints about what Bucky said, they did not dare to whisper or make loud noises during the breaks when their devil instructor was speaking.

"The group of Tebo warthogs locked in the fence are the top ingredients. As for the other ingredients, they are all in the jungle behind me. Whether it's vegetables or meat, you need to collect and hunt them all by yourselves."

"The team that sets out first will have priority in entering the forest according to the order in which they arrive. If any of you want to try out these top-quality ingredients behind me, you can volunteer."

It is a well-known fact that Tebo warthogs are very dangerous.

But aside from its dangerousness, the Teboro Warthog has one very important characteristic that makes it famous throughout the wizarding world.

That is, its meat is extremely delicious, and even the simplest cooking method can produce a rare and delicious dish.

The fertility of the warthog is as good as that of the Australian rabbit. Its original habitat is Congo and Zaire in Africa. In the British region where there are no natural enemies, the Teboro warthog, which should be an invasive alien species, has not caused any harm to the local ecological environment. Instead, it has been eaten by the wizards in the British magical community and has become an endangered species.

So much so that now British wizards, if they want to eat Tebo warthog meat without importing it from Africa, have to go to the trouble of raising Tebo warthogs.

There were only four Tebo warthogs in the pen.

Judging from their size, each of these four warthogs must weigh at least 600 to 700 kilograms.

It looks like a lot, but in reality, after removing the inedible parts, there is nothing left when it is distributed among the plates of so many students present.

This is assuming that the students are able to subdue all four Tebo Warthogs.

Bucky crossed his arms and said, "You can form a team freely. Free team formation means that you can invite students from other grades to form a team, and there is no limit on the number of people."

After waving his hand casually, Bucky signaled the students that they could move. Then he just stood by with the other professors, observing the students' every move with interest.

Even Noah, who was lying on Fox's head and didn't care about anything except eating, joined the crowd watching.

On the surface, this picnic seems to be just a test of students' hands-on ability.

However, the real highlight is not the process of these students hunting for ingredients, but the preparations they make before collecting the ingredients, that is, grouping and division of labor.

The unity of these students who have fought together, their ability to plan and coordinate, etc., will all be reflected in the

In this link, it is presented in the most intuitive way.

If the students who have the highest priority in selecting students only look for the eighth graders to form teams with when forming groups, and ignore the younger students...

After collecting enough food, he would just watch other teams, such as the teams made up of lower grade students, coldly. They were unable to obtain enough meat due to lack of strength, and he would not share or exchange with them...

It can only be said that the unity and collective consciousness of these Hogwarts students need to be improved.

If that really happened, Noah would have to regretfully ask Bucky to intensify his training.

The best way to unite a group of scattered people is to create a strong enough enemy for them. In this way, they will gather all their strength and wisdom to study how to defeat this powerful enemy that no one of them can face alone.

In fact, Noah has long been dissatisfied with the four-college model of Hogwarts School that has been inherited from thousands of years ago.

You have to know that the identities of these students were that they were first students of Hogwarts, and only after they entered school were they divided into more detailed houses.

But in reality, this division of colleges only deepened the gap between students invisibly.

Gryffindor and Slytherin never interact with each other.

Even Hufflepuff House, which is known as the good-natured house, actually keeps a distance from the other three houses to a certain extent.

A Hogwarts in disarray is definitely not what Noah wants to see.

A magical world as solid as a piece of iron. Of course, the premise for the existence of this magical world is that everyone obeys the orders of Noah Shafrin. That is what Noah wants to create.

Chapter 296 The school directors are here! The school is united!

The four founders who jointly founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry may have had good intentions.

In the crazy witch-hunting era when the four giants lived, ordinary people who did not know magic were afraid of everything that was incomprehensible with the knowledge of the time. Under the instigation of the church, they regarded them as heretics and demons and raised their bloody butcher knives against wizards.

Hogwarts was founded in such a historical context.

In order to provide a safe haven for wizards who were persecuted by Muggles, the four greatest wizards of that era - Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slattery, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff - established Hogwarts on the shores of Black Lake in the Scottish Highlands.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and similarly, there will be disagreements because people have different ideas.

The philosophies of the Big Four are largely the same, all for the purpose of protecting their fellow wizards, but there are some subtle differences in their specific implementation.

Salazar Slattery believed that only those wizards born of pure blood were qualified to be protected by Hogwarts.

As the founder of the order, Slytherin held such an idea, and did not believe that pure-blooded wizards were superior to Muggle-born wizards in terms of bloodline as later generations misinterpreted.

In such a chaotic era, it was difficult for them to identify the backgrounds of those non-pure-blood wizards.

Those non-pure-blood wizards actually have clean family backgrounds and have no subjective hostility towards the magical world. They simply gain magical abilities because of the mutation of their blood.

Or were they children with magical abilities collected by the Purgers who were bent on exterminating the magical world, and sent to Hogwarts to lurk after undergoing an inhumane brainwashing education?

Even now, a thousand years later, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in America still suffers from this problem when it enrolls new students every year.

The hidden danger of purgers in the American wizarding world is the most serious in the entire wizarding world.

In such a difficult-to-identify situation, the simple and crude "one-size-fits-all" approach of simply not recruiting students other than those of pure-blood origin is naturally the most worry-free and labor-saving option.

The philanthropic Helga Hufflepuff treated all wizards equally, no matter what the background of those new wizards was, as long as they had magical abilities, they were eligible to enter Hogwarts.

Ravenclaw believes that only wizards with extraordinary wisdom and talent are qualified to receive their education.

The founders had ideological differences, and no one could convince anyone else of their own views. However, under such circumstances, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was established.

The four-college system became a compromise product of this ideological difference.

Since everyone can't reach an agreement, let's each go our own way within a big framework and follow the path we think is right.

This kind of compromise was indeed a last resort a thousand years ago, but it also laid the groundwork for Hogwarts to become a nearly torn apart place.

Over the past thousand years, there have been principals who have seen this situation, but with their narrow vision limited by the environment, they were unable to come up with any good solutions.

Or maybe their courage and ability are not enough to support them in breaking the current situation at Hogwarts and carrying out drastic reforms to the system left behind by the Big Four.

Until Lord Shafulin came with

His right-hand men Bucky Barnes and Gwen Stacy are here.

With the introduction of Lucius and a huge sum of 200,000 gold Galleons, Noah is now the 13th director of the Hogwarts Board of Directors.

Noah: Brothers! Go to Hogwarts!

The school directors are here! The school is united!

The school director is here! The sky is clear!

This picnic was a test from Noah to the Hogwarts students from the beginning to the end. He allowed the students to form teams freely without any restrictions. The main goal was to see what approach the students would take when faced with a common problem.

The students who were crowded together in the cleared space in the forest began to move in a chaotic manner after receiving the order from Buggy to move freely.

And their actions were just as Noah expected.

The fifth-year students who had the highest priority of action were almost instantly split into four groups according to their respective college affiliations.

Then, they quickly split into smaller teams based on the closeness of their relationships.

As Bucky had stated before, when students formed a hunting team, the members were not limited to students of the same grade, and students from other grades could be invited to join.

So these fifth-grade students extended olive branches to the eighth-grade students who had the strongest fighting power, and no one cared about the younger students.

Standing next to Fox, Bucky cast his eyes on the little turkey on Fox's head. "I bet five Galleons that these underclassmen will have to eat vegetables tonight."

The reason why it is at night instead of noon is that this forbidden forest picnic activity is not just one time today at noon, but will become a regular activity in the next ten days.

Hearing Bucky's words, Noah jumped from Fox's head to his shoulder, putting himself at the same height as Bucky's eyes.

The little turkey raised his wings and shrugged, "That's not necessarily true."

Bucky, who always had a stern face, smiled for the first time in a long time. "Let's wait and see."
