The years of welding at Hogwarts

……

Hogwarts Castle, Scottish Highlands.

Before we knew it, summer had quietly arrived in the area around the castle, and the sky in the distance and the surface of the Black Lake had turned into a light blue with a purple glow.

Flowers as big as cabbages bloomed in the greenhouse outside the castle.

The unique heat of summer swept across the entire earth, but it did not have much impact on the Hogwarts students in the castle.

With the generous support of a wealthy school director, the more frequently used scenes in Hogwarts Castle, such as the auditorium, classrooms, students' lounge, and professors' offices, have now been engraved with alchemical runes with special effects.

In other words, air conditioning is installed.

The cool library was quiet, but even though the strong cold air released from the magic runes successfully helped the students resist the heat outside, there were still a few people in the large study room who looked absent-minded.

Even though there was less than a week left until the final exams, Hermione and Shirley both just lowered their heads, not concentrating on the magic books spread out on the table at all.

"Gwen, Noah still hasn't said when he'll be back?"

Gwen, who was also not paying any attention to her studies, looked up suddenly when Shirley called her name abruptly, but she did not dare to meet Shirley's inquiring gaze.

Since that day, Noah tried to activate the teleportation magic circle again with the help of the space stabilization anchor she made, trying to stabilize the portal that was only opened for a short time, but an accident happened in the end.

Four months had passed since then, but she had not received any news from Noah that he was doing well.

Even the clones sealed in the SHIELD headquarters were completely motionless, and Noah no longer used sleepwalking to project his consciousness back into this universe.

At first Gwen thought that Noah might have just encountered some troubles, and as long as she gave him some time, he would contact her again.

But as time went by, Noah became completely silent, which made Gwen start to become suspicious.

Noah he...

Could there really be some unexpected thing?

It is said that good people do not live long, but a thorough evil person like Noah is someone who will be infamous for eternity.

Nothing will happen to the other party...

Gwen used this lame excuse to comfort herself, but she didn't have the confidence at all.

Faced with the questions from the two girls in front of her, and Professor McGonagall asking her about Noah's whereabouts from time to time, Gwen had no idea how to respond to them. She could only force a smile and use specious answers to evade their questioning.

At first, Shirley, Hermione and others did not doubt Gwen's answer.

Sneaking out of school to do something that cannot be seen by others is something that Noah, who has a bad record, would do.

Not to mention that Shirley had heard some of Noah's feats from her father, such as

He, the Hogwarts professor, used Polyjuice Potion to impersonate the other person and took his place to teach the new students.

When Shirley first heard Snape talk about this, she had a confused expression on her face, the same as the old man on the subway looking at his cell phone.

Professor? Pretending to be his own student?

Allowing your own students to skip classes, and then teaching new students as the replaced students?

What kind of confusing operation is this?

But as time went by, Shirley gradually noticed something strange.

Judging from the "close" partnership between his father and Noah, if Noah had any important matters that required him to leave school temporarily, he would definitely tell Snape and ask him to help cover it up.

This may sound weird, but the reality is...

Snape could indeed be said to be the person Noah trusted most in the world, even though these two guys seemed to be incompatible and at odds with each other every day.

The three people who left the library were not in such a good mood.

Looking at Gwen's lonely back as she left alone, Shirley and Hermione looked at each other.

With the tacit understanding between the two of them now, they can understand the meaning of each other's eyes with just an exchange of glances, without the need for any extra words.

After tightening the heavy backpacks on their shoulders, the two of them followed stealthily, without noticing the person standing behind them.

Like a pervert stalking someone, the two girls followed Gwen from a distance and walked towards the abandoned bathroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the castle.

When Gwen's figure disappeared in the passage leading to the secret room, the two girls finally pushed open the door of the bathroom.

However, a voice suddenly sounded behind them and startled them.

"You two are sneaking around and following Gwen all the way. What are you doing?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Shirley and Hermione turned their heads in unison.

"Ah! Noah!?"

Chapter 392: If you can't pass the entrance exam to Nurmengard, you have to fight again

He disappeared quietly for four full months, and only returned to school so abruptly when the final exams at Hogwarts were approaching.

Almost subconsciously, Shirley raised her hand and was about to slap the man who ran away with the bucket, as if she wanted to test whether the living person in front of her was her illusion or real.

But the moment she raised her hand, she subconsciously paused.

No, why would she care so much about this boy who was just staying in her house temporarily?

The trajectory of her hand in the air also changed with her thoughts, until finally, under Hermione's astonished gaze, it turned into a "punch your chest with my little fist" like a little girl's coquettish expression.

"You disappeared for so long without saying a word! Do you know how much this made me…"

Shirley's complaining voice suddenly stopped, a blush appeared on the girl's cheeks, but her originally aggressive voice suddenly softened, "It made Hermione, the professors and I worried for a long time."

Looking at her best friend who had been completely abandoned, Hermione, who was originally very dissatisfied with Noah, the guy who disappeared mysteriously, had a lot of things she wanted to say in her heart dispelled because of Shirley's abrupt turn.

She just blinked stupidly.

Didn’t we agree that we would find this guy and hold him accountable when he comes back?

Why did you raise the white flag so quickly, Shirley?

"Where have you been all this time? I heard from Professor McGonagall that you seemed to have encountered some troubles that needed to be dealt with." Hermione asked curiously.

Noah grabbed Shirley's still flailing hands and waited until the tsundere girl in front of him calmed down before letting go. "It's really troublesome."

When saying this, Noah couldn't help but think of the big goblin in another universe.

In all his years of gaming career, he has never encountered an ultimate villain like this one with a super thick health bar and one of the best recovery abilities.

Every night I would fight in the dungeon until almost dawn, but because my character's energy bar was completely empty and I had to continue teaching students the next day, I had to give up fighting in the dungeon.

However, when I turned on the computer and logged into the game again in the evening, the Boss in the copy had refreshed the status bar again, returning to its peak state with full health and mana bars.

Beat the hell out of it!

If he continued to stay up late playing video games and get up after less than two hours of sleep every day to be a diligent office worker, if it weren't for the Phoenix bloodline and super soldier serum that gave Noah a super-human physique, he would probably have died suddenly within three days.

There is one more person in this world who has been drained dry by a succubus.

Thinking of his indulgence some time ago, Noah couldn't help but blush, and there seemed to be a bit of guilt in his eyes when he looked at the two girls in front of him.

wrong!

I'm not feeling guilty at all!

Isn’t it just staying up late playing games?

Why does it seem like a cheating man is facing his wife's questioning?

"Well, but now those troublesome things are basically dealt with.

That’s about it.”

When saying this, Noah completely ignored what his teacher had told him to do, which was to lead the Demon Slayer Corps composed of mystics to various parts of the world to hunt down those invaders from another world who took advantage of the situation and jumped out to cause trouble during the maintenance of the magic circles of Kamar-Taj and the three Holy Sanctuaries.

And he just made an appointment with Nick Fury and Charles Xavier, and Professor Charles is still resting in the guest room of the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies in London...

Well, the distance he ran cannot be simply calculated using such unattainable distance units as light years.

Transmission across the universe...

I'm really sorry for standing you up so suddenly.

A certain shameless, no, shameless guy thought unapologetically in his heart.

"It seems like I've been away for a while," Noah scratched his head, "I'm sorry, but I have too many things on hand right now. As for my experiences, I'll talk to you about them when I have time."

Of course, there is no need to mention the part about Natasha, Noah added silently in his heart.

“It’s more than just too much.”

Shirley still had a little temper on her face. "Academic exchange activities in Kamar-Taj have been stagnant for a long time!"

Hermione sighed helplessly, "Although our current knowledge reserves are far beyond those of our classmates, we are still not qualified to be tutors for senior students!"

Shirley also took up Hermione's words at the right time, "The professors are all very busy, whether it's Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick, even if I ask my father, they all don't have time to be our instructors..."

"That's right," Hermione nodded uncontrollably, "especially in Albania..."

Noah caught the key words and showed some concern in his eyes, "What happened to Albania?"

If he remembered correctly, before Voldemort, the clown, successfully reshaped his body by obtaining Harry's blood, he stayed in the forest of that country for a long time, living on various small animals and relying on hunting for a living, right?

So, it should be related to Voldemort?

It seems that the other party was successfully resurrected from those Horcruxes that are still scattered around?

Noah didn't care much about not being able to find and destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

With his current strength, even Voldemort (Lizard Serum·Dark Magic Transformation·Ultimate Enhanced Version) whom he met in London would not be taken seriously by him.

"Don't you know yet?"

Although she felt a little strange as to why Noah didn't know the news in Albania, Hermione still told Noah everything she knew about what happened there.

Maybe because she hadn't seen Noah for a long time and wanted to chat with him more, the girl talked a lot like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, including some unconfirmed news that she heard from some third-rate tabloid.

From the girl's rambling story, Noah was able to extract some key words other than Voldemort.

For example--

The Wizarding Party once again appeared before the world, along with the former Dark Lord who frightened countless older wizards, the leader of the Wizarding Party, Gellert Grindelwald.

The International Confederation of Wizards urgently raided Nurmengard Castle located between the snow-capped mountains of Austria, but found that the prison that once imprisoned the most dangerous figures in the wizarding world had long been deserted.

What surprised Noah was that Nurmengard Castle... was there no one there?

Even Dumbledore wasn't there?

Although the old man Dumbledore caused such a big disaster after the Battle of London because he handed the Philosopher's Stone to Voldemort himself, he was unable to get over the self-blame and guilt and announced his retirement.

But anyone who pays a little attention can guess where Dumbledore is hiding.

In addition to the former residence of the Dumbledore family in Godric's Hollow, which once carried many memories of his younger brothers, sisters, and lovers.

The only possible location left was the castle where his soul mate was imprisoned—

Nurmengard.

Not only is the magical world in a turbulent state with a storm on the horizon, even the non-magical world has become turbulent because of the Serpent Shield, which has gradually stepped out from behind the scenes.

Noah didn't pay much attention to Voldemort, nor did he think that he would be a serious threat, so he naturally led the topic to other directions.

For example, the general direction of the world.

Noah initially thought it would be Britain where Hogwarts was located. To be more precise, the British wizarding world where he lived was the first to break the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, completely exposing the magical world to the world.

But unexpectedly, it was Lexington, bah, Ilvermorny that fired the first shot of the wizarding war.

Wizards who mastered various magical powers fought against the Purgers who were armed with Muggle technology on the streets of New York. The footage was uploaded to the Internet immediately and spread widely...

Such bizarre things should never be

There may be no such thing as a mastermind behind this.

Even if Noah only listened to Hermione and Shirley's descriptions, he could already smell the unique scent of conspiracy.

And it comes from more than just one organization.

The most obvious behind-the-scenes mastermind is probably the Witch Party led by old man Grindelwald. In addition, his own Shield Agency seems to be involved, and after that, the Muggle governments of various countries are adding fuel to the fire...

In short, no matter how many forces are involved, the International Confederation of Wizards will be the biggest loser.

The confidentiality code signed and promulgated by the International Confederation of Wizards in 1689 has basically become a meaningless piece of paper after the impact of this incident.

Thanks to the international Internet established by Hydra, nowadays, no matter how hard the wizards try to erase the existence of these bizarre things that are considered fairy tales in the eyes of Muggles.

Unless they can destroy the Internet from the root, using the venom of the Winged Demon to carry out large-scale amnesia erasure of the entire city like Mr. Scamander did in the past will become a thing of the past.
