Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

First, the first section says that it is the confrontation when casting black magic, but in fact, it should be more accurate to say that it is the defense when casting.

In the general understanding of people, if there is black, there is white, so the spell to fight against black magic should be white magic.

But the fact is that although there is black magic in the wizarding world, there is no such thing as white magic.

In the wizarding world, spells that can defend against dark magic are collectively referred to as guardian spells.

The Patronus Charm is one of the advanced spells. The ancient spell that Lily used to protect Harry at the cost of her life can also be included in the category of the Patronus Charm.

Of course, the battle will change as the situation changes, and there is no specific battle mode.

If your magic power is strong enough, you don't need the protection spell at all, and you can even use "Disarmament" as a means of attack and defense.

Under Lupin's guidance, the young wizards learned many different types of protective spells.

The second section is about removing the black magic after it takes effect.

What is involved here is the counter-spell.

Most spells have counter-spells, even dark magic. An excellent master of defense against the dark arts needs to be proficient in these spells.

For example, there is a very powerful black magic like the Shadowless Divine Strike. Once hit by this spell, the person will bleed profusely and the wound will be very difficult to heal. Its counter-spell is - quick healing.

If you don't know the counter-curse, injuries caused by black magic (jinxes) are very difficult to treat.

So even though there are potions that can regenerate bones, there are still people who lose their legs and hands because they can't find out what kind of dark magic has hit them or how to find a counter-spell.

Of course, being hit by many black magics at the same time will also cause mutations, which will be more difficult to treat.

It is worth mentioning that counter-spell is not the closing of a valve, and black magic is not the opening of a valve, but a kind of recall of the previously released spell.

It is the best and most effective way to undo the damage caused by black magic.

It can be said that every excellent master of defense against the dark arts is also a master of counter-spells and defense.

The young wizards greedily absorbed the knowledge taught by Lupin, and their learning progress was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.

Even Lupin himself said that if he taught them for another year or two, he might have squeezed out all the knowledge he knew.

With Dudley and the discipline department around, the third years at Hogwarts are extremely competitive.

It's not just the Defense Against the Dark Arts subject, every subject is a failure. Even the fifth years preparing for OWLs are surpassed by these crazy third years.

In the Care of Magical Creatures class, while the other young wizards were immersed in the joy of observing unicorns, Hagrid quietly pulled Dudley aside.

"Dudley, I have successfully bred the third generation of shelled, flesh-eating slugs."

A new batch of carnivorous slugs has once again successfully bred under the cultivation of the Master of Fantastic Animal Hybridization, and now a new generation has hatched.

Hagrid looked very happy, his obsession with magical creatures had reached an unimaginable level.

Especially the feeling of cultivating a new species by himself was simply wonderful for him.

"Their shells already have sufficient defensive properties. I think they should be able to achieve what you want."

As Hagrid spoke, he opened the wooden box to show Dudley his results. The shelled carnivorous slugs had grown to four or five times their original size, slightly larger than a normal person's palm.

This third generation of shelled carnivorous slugs has basically broken away from the category of carnivorous slugs and is developing towards a completely new species.

"How is it? Not bad, right? Oh, yes, there is another good news. The man-headed sphinx manticore finally succeeded in getting several fire crabs pregnant. I think they will give birth to another new species in a while. What kind of baby will it be? I can't wait."

Hagrid said even more excitedly, compared to the shelled meat-eating slugs, the pregnant fire crabs satisfied him more.

Perhaps because of the giant blood in his body, Hagrid would instinctively get close to dangerous creatures. The more dangerous the species, the cuter it seemed to him.

In addition, as a half-giant, Hagrid has thick skin and flesh, and not only high physical defense, but also extremely high physical attack. He can suppress 99% of magical creatures with pure physical strength. Almost all the beasts in the Forbidden Forest have been beaten by him.

Otherwise, why do you think he brings new magical creatures to every class, and most of them are ferocious magical creatures.

"Dial-o-Mushi"

"what?"

Hagrid, in his excitement, didn't hear clearly.

"From now on, these carnivorous slugs with shells will be called Den Den Mushi. This is the new name I give them."

Dudley picked up a Den Den Mushi and observed it carefully. Under Dudley's close observation, the Den Den Mushi seemed to sense a great danger and shrank into its shell and refused to come out.

After weighing them in his hand for a few times, he realized that these magic snails with teeth were ready to be transformed into real Den Den Mushi.

As for whether it will be successful, we will have to wait until after the transformation to know.

"Den Den Mushi? What a strange name? I was originally going to call them Shells."

Hagrid's face was full of regret when he heard this.

"What's a Dudley phone?"

It was not Dudley's illusion. He always felt that ever since he defeated Hagrid, this guy had been very interested in him, and most of the time he would even take the initiative to please him.

I don't know where this inexplicable sense of closeness comes from.

It seems that I didn't draw any ability like giant affinity.

Chapter 231 Eye exercises begin, close your eyes

"Why have you been tinkering with these giant snails lately?" In the library, Hermione put down the book "A Thousand Uses of Spells" in her hand and looked curiously at the Den Den Mushi in Dudley's hand that had not yet been completed.

This is the one that Dudley picked up before. After feeding for a period of time, the little guy is no longer afraid of Dudley. After hearing Hermione's words, a pair of big eyes stretched out from its tentacles and looked at Hermione curiously.

The vitality is very strong, and it can basically recover as long as it does not suffer fatal injuries.

"This is the subject I am currently researching. If it succeeds, it will definitely be a groundbreaking product."

Dudley gave a brief description.

Making Den Den Mushi is much more complicated than taming magical creatures. The Den Den Mushi in the One Piece world uses bio-electric waves as the conduction medium.

Almost every Den Den Mushi individual has its own unique radio waves, but there is also a channel that serves as a channel for public information waves to pass through. In other words, the individual is also a base station for information transmission. Even if the public radio waves cannot be interpreted, they can still be transmitted through the individual.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

"It looks a bit disgusting." Hermione looked at the Den Den Mushi with disgust.

No girl would like this slippery and sticky bug, especially the two big eyeballs on its tentacles, which can easily make little witches feel physically uncomfortable.

"Huh? Why is it crying?"

After many generations of breeding, the Den Den Mushi could understand human language. When it sensed Hermione's disgust, a layer of mist immediately covered its big eyes, and tears began to fall.

"Because you said it was disgusting, it was very sad."

"Can it understand human language?"

Hermione looked surprised. Although she still felt disgusted, her interest in Den Den Mushi increased a lot.

Although there are magical insect-like creatures, most of them are not very intelligent and are at most similar to wild beasts. It is the first time I have seen a Den Den Mushi that can not only understand human language but also feel sad.

"Of course, maybe in the future they will replace owls and become an important tool for wizards to deliver messages."

"This joke is not funny at all."

Hermione naturally didn't believe it.

Although she also thinks that the speed of an owl in transmitting messages is far less convenient than that of a telephone, it would be ridiculous to tell her that a snail can replace an owl in delivering messages. Things like Den Den Mushi are beyond her understanding.

Neither science nor magic.

The library was very quiet on weekends and there were very few people. Dudley and Hermione were the only two people in the area where they were, so their conversation did not attract anyone else's attention.

Hermione read for a while and felt her neck getting sore, so she twisted it unconsciously.

Reading for a long time will have a certain impact on the cervical spine even if you sit in a standard posture.

Dudley, who was sitting next to her, naturally noticed this and suggested after putting away the Den Den Mushi.

"Let me press it for you."

Hermione thought about it, looked around and found that no one was around, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay, be gentler this time."

Normally, Hermione reads with her head down. This is a very bad habit. Dudley has corrected her several times, but she would forget about it when she was engrossed in reading. Her neck often felt uncomfortable because of her long time with her head down. Dudley usually had to massage her.

The cervical spine is a very important part that connects to the nerves. It does more than just support the head, so it must be protected.

"Did you use the buckwheat pillow I gave you?"

Dudley walked up behind Hermione, leaned down, and placed his hands gently on her shoulders.

The girl's body felt so soft, as if she had no bones to touch, that Dudley felt as if his hands were sinking into it.

At the same time, the faint scent of shampoo, mixed with the smell of Hermione's body, continued to penetrate Dudley's nostrils, making him feel refreshed.

"After using it, I feel much better, but sometimes I still feel uncomfortable."

In his previous life, Dali was a person who loved to look down at his phone. In addition, he always kept his head down while working, so his cervical spine has always been in good condition.

There was even a time when my entire left hand was paralyzed due to severe cervical vertebrae recurvature.

I couldn't sleep well all night.

For this reason, Dudley had to take leave to see a doctor. After an old Chinese doctor gave him acupuncture on his neck for a week (sixteen needles each time), his discomfort symptoms were relieved (it was very comfortable during the acupuncture).

According to an old Chinese doctor, young people have strong recovery abilities and will recover naturally as long as they sleep in the right posture.

And I recommended that he use a buckwheat pillow (must be made of buckwheat husk).

It’s not because of the medicinal value of buckwheat husks such as calming the nerves and promoting blood circulation, but simply because high-quality buckwheat pillows are more ergonomic, and the height of the pillow can be adjusted freely to make the neck reach the most comfortable level, which helps recovery.

Sure enough, after a week of continuous use, the symptoms of paralysis gradually subsided and were completely eliminated after a month.

Since that time, Dali became a loyal believer of buckwheat pillows. He threw away all his cotton pillows, rattan pillows and latex pillows and only used buckwheat pillows when sleeping. Whenever he saw others suffering from cervical discomfort, he would strongly recommend them to use buckwheat pillows.

"That's because you've been reading for too long. Try to lower your head less and get up and move your body after reading for a while."

This is what Dudley did himself. Proper exercise can also protect the waist.

When Hermione heard this, she said coquettishly, "Hehe, don't you still have me? I get easily addicted when reading, you know that."

She is really easy to get addicted to, and can stay in one position and watch for a whole day without moving.

By the time she reacts, her neck will feel uncomfortable as if she has a stiff neck.

As the two were talking, Dudley had already begun to exert force with his palms.

"Lighter, lighter, lighter. Yes, yes, yes, it's really sore here. It feels good."

As Dudley's hands rose and fell, Hermione narrowed her eyes comfortably, like a curled up kitten.

After massaging for about half an hour, Hermione lay limply on the table with a satisfied look on her face, humming softly, "Dudley, my eyes have been a little dry lately."

"You've been staring at the book for too long." Dudley ruffled her wavy hair and said, "I'll teach you an eye exercise. You should do it every time you read for more than two hours."

"What's the eye exercise?"

"The full name is eye exercises."

Although Dali is no longer in the original place, he still does eye exercises when he reads for a certain period of time. These eye exercises are really good for the eyes and can protect vision.

"Now follow me to do the first step of massaging the Tianying acupoint."

"I don't have the strength anymore Dudley, please help me."

Anyway, there was no one else in the library at this time. Only she and Dudley were there.

Buckwheat pillows (made of buckwheat husk) are really useful. This is the author's real case. It was recommended by an old Chinese doctor. Don't believe the latex pillows that cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. They are useless and a waste of money.

The cheapest buckwheat pillow is the best. As long as you are young, your cervical vertebra will recover naturally.

Of course, if the condition is serious, it is recommended that you go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Chapter 232 Mysterious Wizard Card Tom

It has been a while since the release of the new series of The Witcher decks.

As expected, it became popular again in the entire wizarding world, and once again set off a craze for card collecting.

There was even a store in Diagon Alley that specialized in selling wizard cards, and many wizards seemed to have discovered a business opportunity and began to explore the second-hand card trading market.

The feature of this deck is the real-time linkage with real wizards in England, which means that any well-known wizard in England may appear in this card pack.
