Archdruid of Hogwarts

At the end of November, we had another dinner party.

Harry and Ron, who arrived late, were immediately attracted by a strange thing after entering the secret dining room.

Magic brazier.

Five little fire men were dancing around the flames.

"What is this?" Harry asked, and he and Ron looked closer.

I saw five little fire figures, running sideways on the outer edge of the brazier, swinging their arms, bending their knees and raising their knees; then they crossed their legs and walked sideways facing the flames;

Next, raise your arms high, lean your upper body back, and then kneel forward to prostrate; then make a surrender gesture with your hands, rocking your arms back and forth while moving left and right in conjunction with the rubbing steps;

Finally, he turned his back to the flame, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and stood on tiptoes back and forth.

Five movements, funny and magical misdirection, forward and counterclockwise circles...

"Fire Spirit's Fire Dance Plate! Dumbledore paid it to Ernie as compensation." Hermione, who arrived first, answered first and glanced sideways at Hannah as she spoke.

Hannah responded calmly.

On the side, Justin, who was helping the cook, gave Harry and Ron weird expressions.

This was agreed upon by the three of them and represented the Shura field.

When Harry saw it, he immediately swallowed back a bunch of follow-up questions, said "Oh!" and said, "It's quite interesting. I'll go help Justin."

"Me too!" Ron said quickly.

Justin held his forehead and said to himself: "These two idiots, the twist is too blunt!"

Sure enough, Hermione's little face turned gloomy, but she didn't say anything in the end, turned her head and changed her expression, and went to get tired of having fun with Ernie again.

Seeing this, Hannah also came over. Suddenly, Ernie who was cooking had a "right-hand man", and the Shura Field officially started...

Harry and Ron ignored the three people. Ron muttered: "Let those two female devils harass Ernie, he is very capable. We just had a pleasant chat for a while. To be honest, I have had enough of Ernie." The scolding of Min holding a gun and carrying a stick really makes me feel like I have another mother."

Justin sneered: "Young man, in the next year or so, you will understand that there are some things you should not say nonsense."

"Tsk! Why are you even like this!? If you have any questions, just ask!"

Harry interrupted: "What's going on with the brazier?"

"Listen to Ernie, Dumbledore screwed up the aftermath of our adventure, and this is compensation!"

Justin's statement shocked both Harry and Ron.

"Ah? Did the little people run away? Or were they discovered by the Ministry of Magic?" Ron asked anxiously.

"No, the bad wizard ran away."

"Didn't he get wiped out by Ernie?" Ron was puzzled.

Harry said: "You are so careless. There are several bad wizards, including the one with the curly beard, and the clown, too."

Justin nodded: "Ernie doesn't want to talk in depth, but I guess it's them! He was locked up, but he was rescued by the clown."

"This is terrible. These bad guys should have been eliminated in time." Ron looked regretful.

"Not everyone should be sentenced to death, right?" Harry felt kindhearted again.

Ron curled his lips: "If you knew more about the evil deeds of dark wizards, you wouldn't say that. You are just like defending Filch before. Facts have proved that the evil-hearted Filch is not innocent. This is also true." Same."

Justin also chimed in: “I was once interested in those witchcraft puppets, but then I learned through Ernie that those puppets were originally wizards, and I lost interest immediately.

Those guys killed wizards and played with the corpses. They were much worse than ordinary dark wizards, let alone killing villains in the process of enslaving them.

You know, they have been in business for nearly two hundred years, and how many families have been destroyed? "

Harry stopped talking.

Ron frowned and said: "Sometimes I don't understand the thoughts of adults. For example, Dumbledore. Everyone knows that the mysterious man is most afraid of him. After all, he personally defeated the first Dark Lord and obtained a powerful weapon. The Elder Wand helped, but he still failed to kill the mysterious man."

Harry still defended Dumbledore and said, "There must be a reason."

Justin also favored Harry: "Take our adventure in Lilliput as an example. We were well prepared and the process was smooth.

When Ernie called in the insect reinforcements, I thought even if Dumbledore came, it would be nothing more than that.

But in the final summary meeting, you also noticed that there are still many problems. Ernie also made a mistake and the clown ran away. "

Ron nodded, "Okay, I admit that bad wizards are powerful and sometimes pretty cool!"

Justin joked: "I heard a funny saying from Ernie, it's three times stronger when you're black and 30% weaker when you're white."

"What is darkening?" Harry asked.

"What is whitewashing?" Ron asked.

Justin looked proud, "Well, it's a long story..."

The three 'sticks' were muttering on the side, while Ernie, who was sandwiching Oreos, deliberately distracted himself and avoided the Shura Field.

He was also thinking about Dumbledore's failed hunt.

Originally, he wanted to use Kaa VII as bait to take the initiative to eliminate hidden dangers.

As a result, the hunter and the prey switched, and both Lupine and Sirius were almost killed.

The final result was that Kaa and his gang were wounded and escaped again, while the Order of the Phoenix, led by Dumbledore himself, was frightened and had no casualties, and won another victory.

It was actually a little complicated to talk about at this time. Dumbledore also explained the matter to him clearly in stages three times.

The first time they mainly talked about good things, about Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.

First there was Lupine.

Lupine had been sending letters to Dumbledore, but it was unusual, like two or three letters a year, saying he was safe and giving a general update on his current situation.

In fact, Lu Ping's situation can be summed up in four words: down and out, wandering.

Mainly the issue of rage caused by the werewolf curse.

No matter how kind-hearted they are, few people are willing to leave a time bomb beside them.

After all, the werewolf curse is not a simple full moon transformation, because the essence of the transformation is not that the power of the moon causes the magic to riot.

Magic can be suppressed and sorted out. The important lesson for young wizards at Hogwarts is to learn to control the magic in the body and then use it.

The key to werewolf transformation is emotion.

In scientific terms, dopamine is secreted excessively, and thought waves are so strong that they affect physiology (if you don’t understand clearly, please look at Tony Leung’s {Double Pupils}).

The werewolf curse is such a thing. First it is a mental illness, and then it is a physical illness.

Since it is a mental illness, it does not necessarily have to occur on a full moon night.

It's just that on a full moon night, the magic power is active, the physiology affects the psychology, and the psychology in turn affects the physiology, making it easier to cause problems.

Therefore, this kind of disease that does not know when it will strike and kills the people around it is quite disturbing. The closer the relationship is, the more likely it is to suffer disaster, the lack of vigilance, and even if something goes wrong, it is unbearable. This hesitation, Probably more tragedy.

Therefore, Lupine himself consciously lived in isolation.

But in fact, the more withdrawn and unsociable you are, the more unsatisfied you are physically and mentally, and the easier it is to aggravate your condition.

So looking at the werewolf curse, there are basically two ways.

One kind, join the pack, join the wolf pack. The dark society makes a living by stealing and robbing. Even Voldemort despises them and uses them as cannon fodder.

The other type either died in a prison called a sanatorium, or was hunted in the wild.

Even if the earthen jar is broken away from the well mouth, an expert will die at the hands of a novice if he is old and frail, not to mention that according to the poor living environment of werewolves, they always age very quickly.

Ernie missed Lupine a lot.

It's not because of how powerful he is, but because Lu Ping has some characteristics of being able to do great things to people...

In the eyes of others, he used the twelve-year gap period to prove his integrity and persistence. No matter how difficult it was, no matter how desperate he was, he never gave in to the curse and fell into the arms of the dark group.

He also relied on his own efforts and did not cause trouble to others, thus safeguarding his dignity and integrity.

This is a man of quite reliable character.

If the entire Order of the Phoenix could only trust one person with its wealth and life, Ernie would choose Lupin, not Dumbledore.

Because Dumbledore was the kind of person who could sacrifice himself and his friends for the sake of justice.

In Ernie's eyes, the concept of 'justice' has many ways to express it...

So he was willing to help Lupine.

He also knew that even if he didn't come forward directly, Lu Ping would still remember this favor.

In fact, I remember it more deeply than if he directly helped me.

After all, in his life, too few people extended a helping hand to him without asking for anything in return, especially the help that was crucial and changed his destiny.

In fact, it is not that he does not ask for anything in return, he is just preparing for a rainy day and making use of his spare time. Even if it is not used in the end, he still hopes that Lu Ping will be well.

If there are more people like Lu Ping in the circle, life will be much better...
